Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? One, two, three, four! It's the start of something beautiful A small acquaintance has blossomed It's rapping into a precious friendship I could have never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach
Starting point is 00:00:39 My life, it feels like My life is all It's better with you Hello everybody, welcome to my brother, my brother me and advice show for the Modron era, I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy I'm your sweet baby brother Red Carpet Pro Griffin McElroy What up Trav Nation, it's me, your Sigma-ist brother, Travis McRoy. Woof, woof, what up? Everybody here on the-
Starting point is 00:01:30 I decided I'm a Sigma now, by the way. Influenced by- I don't know what that fucking means. Me either, I don't know what that means. Everyone here. Because you guys are betas? You're not even out of a man alpha. Okay, everyone here on this beautiful crimson carpet
Starting point is 00:01:41 is talking today about- Why did they make the carpet so dark? It's a dark, dark burgundy red carpet today. We're talking about the Oscar gnomes. They came out recently. A little bit ago. Recently. Everyone's talking, is this the year
Starting point is 00:01:58 Leo's gonna get his nut? Leo refers to Leonardo. He's never come before in his nut. Leo refers to Leonardo's. He's never come before in his life. Leo DiCaprio, that's separate, has not. Oh, that's not, okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. But also, everyone wants this man to get his beautiful golden prize. And everyone's saying, is this the year?
Starting point is 00:02:20 Was he in a movie this year? If so, was he good and better than everyone else who was in movies this year? Timothy, Shalame, Wonka, I don't think so. I didn't see Wonka in the mix for many of the awards this year. It came out just a little too late. Missed the window. A little too late for the buzz.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I do want to congratulate. I'm so excited. Uh, the race, I'd like everybody to just zoom in on a race. The race that has me the most excited is actor in a leading role. Yeah. We got Bradley Cooper, Coleman, Domingo, Killian Murphy, Jeffrey Wright, and I, I'm so excited. I get to say this again, Paul, Jim, Lonnie, and I'm so excited.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I'm so stoked for Paul. You ever won? Sure. Paul Geomotti and I'm so excited for Paul. I'm so stoked for Paul. Have you ever won? Sure, but the thing is, when you're a Geomotti head like me, every performance is like a different actor. So it's like the Geomotti that went for sideways. That's a different era. You know what I mean? Like that was the sideways era, Geomotti.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Not amazing Spider-Man, Geomotti. Not amazing Spider-Man, Geomotti. Not amazing Spider-Man, Giamatti. Like when my kids dress up for superhero day, they're not dressing like sideways Giamatti, they're dressing like, I don't know, Giamatti in the holdovers, I guess. For some reason, my brain has immediately been wiped of all Paul Giamatti performances other than those few.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Guys, in preparation for my sketch first show, I had to look up a performer to pull a picture for somebody's character sheet. So when I just clicked over to see what movies, Paul Giamani is the nominated for it, I was face to face with a lot of images of Jeff Dunham. Whoa, cool. It was very upsetting. Took me a second to recalibrate.
Starting point is 00:04:08 There I am. Is he flying solo in those JPEGs or has he got the gang with him? No. Okay. No. Great. Is Jeff Dunham nominated this year, Juice? Can you check on that?
Starting point is 00:04:18 Jeff, let me check the list. No. I'm not seeing Jeff Dunham. Jeff Dunham passed over again for his four hour long comedy special, Yeah, They're Puppets. You want to make something of it? Yeah. Which my family loved.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And I think really good. And all our families loved it. I thought for a second you were going to say Jeff Dunham passed away. And to which I would laugh, not from the joy that he has passed, but the idea that he could pass. When the legacy of these puppets he's left behind puppets don't die. Okay, wait, Matt Griffin. They just fade away.
Starting point is 00:04:54 This is an extremely good point that I need. Thanks, Juice. I'm just full of them. Hey, is there a Jeff Dunham's secession plan? This is what I need to know is that does Jeff Dunham have a living will for the puppets to make sure that they can continue to live after he has passed? Or do they retire? Is it like, oh now your service is you're done. You guys can sit. Retirement is death to a puppet. Retirement is death.
Starting point is 00:05:20 You get to a puppet retirement. That sounds like a real non puppet saying that Justin. You know what I mean? It's like I don't argument someone would use as they raise the retirement age. You know what I mean? Be careful. Yeah. I love working these puppets. These puppets they love to be out there on the stage.
Starting point is 00:05:35 They don't want to sit around. I think you want to be busy. It's good for their circulatory systems. I think the only Jeff Dunham secession plan, succession plan. I'm good at it. Is that he's gonna get on, Secession season five is gonna be about Jeff Dunham. His most recent.
Starting point is 00:05:50 His most recent all the parts. Right. His most recent. That was good actually. I'm gonna free V, the new reality series, who wants to take my puppets after I'm dead? The only Jeff Dunham succession plan, the only Jeff Dunham succession plan, that makes sense to me or anyone and
Starting point is 00:06:08 Is it in bad taste to talk about a fellow comedian passing away? comedy podcast He's a human being but we is easy so we must How do you know he's not a bigger puppet Justin when I'm saying look at the evidence Justin He's mortal. He's what I'm saying and Look at the evidence, Justin. He's mortals. He's mortals. And we must confront this. Jeff Dunham has obviously thought,
Starting point is 00:06:30 like he's been looking at the puppets like, I gotta find a good home for you. JIC. JIC of my entombed passing. Yeah, but the problem is, is he can't announce that plan, or else he immediately is gonna put a target on his back. A huge target.
Starting point is 00:06:43 As soon as he's like, yeah, I'll give it to Greg when I die. Like, Greg is going to gun for him because, Yeah, for sure. I assume it's my billions in those puppets. Maybe literally. I don't know if Jeff Dunham trusts banks. Greg, Jeff Dunham's a billionaire for sure. Greg wouldn't gun for him because there's always
Starting point is 00:07:03 a chance that a stray bullet could catch one of the puppets and That's it's not worth it The only plan that makes sense is Jeff Dunham becomes a puppet himself for a bigger for a larger comedian That's an even bigger comedian and we keep passing it up and up or maybe his soul enters one of his puppets And he doesn't get to choose. He shouldn't get to choose. Yeah, I think that's fair. Hey, can I tell you guys two things? One, P. Jamadi, can we get back to P. Jamadi real quick? I'd love to get back into P. Jamadi.
Starting point is 00:07:33 He's been nominated for Cinderella Man in 2006. Great nut fucking flick. Holy shit, what a good job. Nominated didn't win, has never been nominated until now for the holdovers. Why do we struggle with the word nominated so much? Nominated, what are they? I think that's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Also, Oscars, can I offer your suggestion? Makes it up a little bit with the categories? Just to circle back around there, Trav, Giamatti did not win for sideways. That got flipped in my head. Low from wings. Yeah. One from sideways.
Starting point is 00:08:09 He does. Hey, G M. I are you doing all right? I do. That's got to be a tough. That's got to be a tough pill, brother. That blow from wings scooted in there before you. That's tough.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I hope he gets in there for sideways. Oh, wait, sideways. The whole first shit. Let me check the norms here. Uh oh. Who's also nominated for the holdovers and Tony O's go. Garpachi as fuck this name up. Let me try again. Antonio's Garpachi from
Starting point is 00:08:33 Wayne's also Tony Shalu. Fuck. His room. I would love to see. I would love to see some categories in the Oscars that are maybe a little more, I don't know, whimsical like person who was in the most good movies with other people, you know, like this thing of like, oh, this guy was in a movie with Brad Pitt and Leonida Cabrio and Denzel Washington this year. Good for you, dude. Guys, in hockey, they make a big deal out
Starting point is 00:08:59 of what they call assists, which is when someone scores a goal, if you helped, you get a little special treat after the game. And they call it an assist. Put a treat on your nose. They should do this for Oscars. Yeah. Like straight up, Kili and Murphy put out a statement
Starting point is 00:09:19 that was like, it's fucked up that David Kramholtz did not get nominated for Oppenheimer. We could not have made that movie without Oppenheimer. It was a depressing ass movie to make and David Kremholtz was funny and made us all laugh and it was great. It kept your spirits alive. I'm fucking pissed? Dude, did we throw boxes?
Starting point is 00:09:36 Listen, I love that I was... It's humorous. This is 100% true. The wording's not right, but he was like, it's fucked up that you guys didn't nominate David Kremholtz. We couldn't have made this movie without him. That's my best friend. That's my best friend, David Kremholtz. It's fucked up that you guys would put my name on there
Starting point is 00:09:54 and not David Kremholtz, fucked up. I mean, and then he goes on to say, I still like that I'm nominated. I still, I'm not turning it down. Yeah, I appreciate it. I just think it's fucked. Don't give my spots at David Krumholz or anything, but I'm not doing a really jersey moment But I think it I think it was really cool that after after
Starting point is 00:10:14 Ken From the movie Barbie mm-hmm after he got nominated he made a big fuss. He was like listen. I appreciate this I Really it really means a lot to me. But honestly, David Kromholtz was so good. He was so good. I'm an Iver. It's not my place to say this, but, but, but, I do think David Kromholtz should be honored in some way. This, the film I was in was a landmark film, important with a lot of important performances
Starting point is 00:10:46 and a lot of important work happening behind the camera. Nominate for a lot of things, but I will say, if you look at the story of David Krumholz's career, yeah, this would have been such a nice little fascinating to place on top of it. Yeah. And you could have put him in any category.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Honestly. Anyone. Like, listen, maybe you don't have room in Best of morning. You don't have room in best actor great Can you put him in director? Can you put him in writer one of the ones that doesn't matter? You know what I mean? Yeah, like one of the ones that you deliver off-screen Yeah, I that was a joke directors and writers, please don't be mad at me. That was a joke. You guys are great Yeah, that's gonna be the thing that keeps directors and writers, please don't be mad at me, that was a joke. You guys are great. Yeah, Travis, that's gonna be the thing that keeps directors and writers from busting down our fucking door, man.
Starting point is 00:11:28 That is all for just going to drive them around. I don't want the offers to stop! Not the fact that we just planned Jeff Dunham's estate live to take. That's the thing you said is the reason why we don't have success in Hollywood. Can I just say Griffin, if you really look, do you think that me saying writers and directors aren't important?
Starting point is 00:11:50 Is less offensive to them? I was saying like, I wonder when Jeff Dunham's gonna die and give his puppets to somebody? One of them sounds conspiratorial, is all I'm saying. In a way that makes Hollywood pretty nervous. Not to be fair Everybody is kind of worried about who's pulling the strings in Hollywood Jeff Dunham is a puppeteer Jeff Dunham is a puppeteer It's one for one Jeff Dunham's running the whole thing. How else would Jeff Dunham have been allowed to become famous?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Don't be afraid of Jeff Donham be afraid of the bigger comedian who's going to control Jeff Dunham one day I think they made up Nyad? Sorry? Do you think they made up Nyad? It got a lot of nominations and I've never heard of this. Exactly, I'm not convinced it's a real one. Is David Krumholtz in it? David Krumholtz passed.
Starting point is 00:12:40 What? Oh, you mean passed on the movie. Oh, God, you scared me so bad there for a minute. Damn, dude. Oh, oh. Congratulations to all this year's nominees. I don't know why people are so frustrated about Greta and Margot when I know that I have not voted for my SAG Awards yet.
Starting point is 00:13:02 So that's the real prize. And it is still on the horizon. Yeah. Margot and I am doing what I can. Hey, we got you. This, you're looking at three voting members of the screen actor's guild. So, uh, Imagine, wait it, wait it.
Starting point is 00:13:17 A word. Imagine, imagine Ms. Robbie, if you will, your mantle with a saggy at the top. And I think you're going to be very happy. A real saggy award. A real saggy just for you. If you get the saggy and all the other ones, you can get yourself a stoge, which is what you call it.
Starting point is 00:13:33 When you get all five of these, you can trade them in for an Oscar. That is true. I'm also willing to make Margot Robbie. And this is a big step, but I'm willing to make Margot Robbie a certificate that says honorary MacRoy brother. And we don't extend that a lot, but I'm willing to offer that. Let's talk about says honorary macro a brother and we don't extend that a lot But I'm willing to offer that let's talk about that off here. Let's talk about assuming Just as you
Starting point is 00:13:51 Astros assuming Marco Robbie has not said problematic things to the past that I'm not aware of I was gonna say Traven 2011 when we gave our first one you're like, uh, duh Hercules and so Kevin Sorbo is a technicallyWade brand. We can't take that away. Yeah. Yeah, I have to admit, when I look back at that choice I made, I'm disappointed. Hey, Lazinga. Have we been going for an hour yet?
Starting point is 00:14:18 Can Vyra talks about when he yelled this point because he read it in the parentheticals of the script? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think everyone does. This is well-tra, yeah. I think everyone knows this territory. It just makes me so happy. It's the best thing you ever did. Only good thing. Only good thing.
Starting point is 00:14:31 My friend has been telling me about the numerous health benefits of crawling around on the ground. Five minutes a day, they say, could change your life. Every time I try it, it feels great. Quick Google, quick Google. And I'm going to read it. Somebody else has to Google it. Every time I try it, it feels great. And I'm going to read it. Somebody else has to Google it. Every time I try it, it feels great.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I can imagine how cool it would feel to do full on loping bear run across the neighborhood park. However, when I never really find myself having to stand up to reach counters, turn on lights, et cetera, I forget to return my call until days or weeks later. How can I get better at remembering to incorporate crawling around on the ground in my daily routine that's from inconsistently crawled in Portland? Travis, is this anything, man?
Starting point is 00:15:11 Is your friend Samara from the ring? First question. Is this an extended prank? No, so I'm seeing stuff about it's like good for your core and get you a good core stability. Something about your vestibular system, I don't know what vestibules have to do with it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Let's see, the Mayo Clinic is like crawling to bed at your house. This is, we are describing yoga on the go, goga. Yeah, goga. That's what this is. It feels, I don't know if you guys have ever done stationary basic ass yoga or awesome mobile Goga, but it feels pretty good to get down there and like move your body in ways that it's sort of
Starting point is 00:15:57 unaccustomed to for stretches at a time. And that's just all this is, but you can get around. I've not done yoga, I'm worried about, oh, I guess the physical and spiritual positions that puts me in, I'm afraid it would allow, I don't know, Griffin, it feels so vulnerable. I can't imagine being in a yoga position and being ready to defend my life.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, if we were ever hanging out and I saw you get into a vulnerable position, I'm gonna back tag, just cause we're bros and like that's what we do. Can you guys fucking imagine if we were hanging out together and one of us struck one of the other two in the testicles,
Starting point is 00:16:39 the fucking like completely wild out of character, that would be such a horrific betrayal. Well, Justin and I both had vasectomy, so like it wouldn't affect us at all. Oh, you still feel stuff down there. Not anymore. Okay, cool, cool. What was the question?
Starting point is 00:16:58 How do you remember to crawl? Put all your stuff on the ground. That's one option. You could also have a fire controlled, but going in your house control burn. Yeah. A control burn that is sort of going to create a layer of smoke that is inopportune to dwell in. The first time, the first time you do that, that's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I don't know how you follow that up with a repeat. Like that's not how we build habits. Well, it has to cycle though, Justin, because that helps rebuild the forest floor. You know what I mean? You go too long without a burn in your house and you're gonna get a lot of buildup of old trees, blocking out the sunlight and everything.
Starting point is 00:17:43 You need some of the burn to replenish nutrients in the soil and leave room for new growth. And oh, sorry. All this is assuming that the question asked her is a bear. Sorry. That's important to note. Could you build? Have kids.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I mean, it's honestly like have kids. Yeah, that's true. And then your floor will be covered with detritus 100% of the time your floor will be covered with detritus a hundred percent of the time. What? There's always detritus to get you down there. Security laser grid.
Starting point is 00:18:11 What? Cool. A security laser grid. Ooh. And you're doing some entrapment level like boom, boom, boom, around all the time. That's gotta be good for your core, right? Now you will have to set up stakes. There will have to be something
Starting point is 00:18:22 that happens if you trigger a laser. Cause otherwise by day three, you just walk it through the lasers, right? Well, you got a dead drop Faberge eggs all around the house. Spend all your money on Faberge eggs. What's that? I'm already doing that.
Starting point is 00:18:38 If spend all your money on Faberge eggs, put them all over the house, set up a laser grid system, have a guide there with a big bat, and if you do set off the alarms, he's gonna go smash up all your Faberge eggs, taking all your money away. Now we're calling you. Not attack you.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Not attack you. She's attacking. Yeah, I thought, yeah. Well, okay, maybe. Okay, how about this, when the big man isn't smashing the Faberge eggs, he's standing in the middle of the room, bat out, straighten his hands,
Starting point is 00:19:02 spinning around like a crazy whirlwind like a crazy tornado of bats You cannot stand up. You will be hit by the bat if you are at his level lower ceilings Oh, that's good. That's a good one, too What just build lower ceilings? How fun would that be? Not only do you get to crawl around you make tunnels in your house? Yeah, but if you get really pissed off you can stand up and just like Like shatter right through. Who would be awesome? And then what if they're on like a ratcheting system
Starting point is 00:19:30 so you can raise the roof back up if you need to? And then it's like, oh, I have friends coming over but they don't crawl, they're not in the lifestyle. So then you have to like turn a handle to raise the ceiling back up. Why would you deny them though? Oh, that's a good point. We can all agree how great crawling is.
Starting point is 00:19:45 How come they never made Faberge birds? You'd think after a while, everybody who wanted a Faberge egg had a Faberge egg and they're like, not need something else to go with it. And you're like, okay, here's a Faberge bird and you put that Faberge bird on top of it and eventually a Faberge baby bird will pop out.
Starting point is 00:20:01 That took me a while to get, you went somewhere just now. Yeah. That I was so far away from that I didn't even know the place you were at existed. And so it took me a while to figure out why you were saying that there should be Faberge birds until I eventually remembered that birds
Starting point is 00:20:21 traditionally do come out of eggs. Would it have been better if I'd said, why didn't they make like Faberge sausage and Faberge croissants so that I could make a Faberge breakfast sandwich? I would love a Faberge sausage. I think that would be really strong. If someone came into my house
Starting point is 00:20:35 and they saw a beautiful jewel encrusted wiener, great. That's great for me. That's better than a saggy, frankly. We have given out so many answers to this fucking question, Justin. You are ringing blood from a stone right now by not moving on. I moved to a very small town. The population is approximately 1400. Where things like cussing and swearing are frowned upon.
Starting point is 00:21:00 For example, I heard a waitress say, Oh, my stars, she made a mistake. The same waitress is very nice. She was crucified in the streets. I wanna ask her out, there's one major issue. I cursed like a sailor. I mean that, I was raised by two of them. Brothers, how do I stop swearing every other word?
Starting point is 00:21:18 Sincerely, Justin? Oh! Bum, bum, bum! I looked it up, by the way, because they included the name of the town. 1400, the population. It sincerely is like Twin Peaks looking like in Montana, like beautiful, like a river, right next to the town. Mountains overlooking it.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Did they say if they were a transplant into this area or not? Yeah, they've recently moved there. Oh, okay, okay. I was gonna say, if you've always lived here, why do you cuss so much? I'm kind of the bad boy of my small town. Of my whole town. You don't want to hold on. Do you think you could get ostracized?
Starting point is 00:21:57 Could you curse enough to where people would talk about it? Yes. Because then you've got a little bit of mystique going. Oh, yes. You're like the Kevin Bacon of swearing in this small town. That's who we're having. You're bringing swearing in. Fuck yeah. You put on a denim jacket and you come strolling up to the diner, walk in, pop your collar
Starting point is 00:22:16 and just go like, bastard. And everyone's like, oh. Whoa. And all the teens get behind you and they're going bastard bastard bastard bastard and now I'm gonna cut loose fuck loose Everybody shit everybody Everybody damn I mean I Have had a lot of fun. I have a lot of fun cursing at home.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I do think it's also funny to say things like crumbs. Yeah. Is a good one. Uh, that can be even more intentional because you're using that language intentionally, yeah, which is the problem with cursing. If you're using it unintentionally, then it loses its power. But if you mid conversation, like, oh, shucks, you I'm gonna take notice. That's someone who's really angry Yeah, there's so many good ones shit like land of Goshen is a good one. No, yeah, oh blimey Zootalore can you start doing some French as cousin
Starting point is 00:23:39 Zootaloo. Oh my god, man No, cuz that's cussing. I hate when people do that, when they say stuff in other languages that's still cussing. You hate when people speak another language? Griffin doesn't like when people don't speak English. Let me cook. I don't, I mean, the thing I was gonna say isn't anything. So, I mean, it's not worth the burn.
Starting point is 00:23:57 You're cooking an empty pot. But I subject myself. I'm cooking, I'm making stone soup over here with you. Rather I not put a big frame around it, you draw a small crowd. Let him cook. Oh, shit. I was just peeling a potato for fun.
Starting point is 00:24:14 No, come on. Let him cook. Cook it up. Good news, Griffin's bit. It's time to put you in the shop window. You've got your chance. Come on, Griffin's bit. Gather around around everyone.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Some of those some of those old you can use some of those old what they call them like the with the Shakespearean curses where they like crosswords, some of that like zoons, you know, I mean like short for God's wounds. Zoons is is good, but it's makes you sound like a dork, which is why the curse words, the regular ones are so cool. God's blood is a good one, though. We can bring in God's blood. It makes me mad. Shout out to this town if they're offended
Starting point is 00:24:51 by cursing, but if you're like, blood of Christ, I'd rather you not do that. Actually, could you just say fuck? We all talked about it. Listen, it wasn't hard. There's only 1400 of us. We got together and 1399 of us us agreed we'd rather just use a fuck than stop calling people like curse or whatever you've been doing. We don't like that anymore. Just say basket, it's fine. You could revitalize the town's economy
Starting point is 00:25:14 by putting a swear jar in City Hall and make it so that when anyone cuts this anywhere in the city, they have to go to City Hall and put a coin in the swear jar. And maybe at the end of the year, you guys buy a bunch of crab legs. Bigger jars. Bigger jars with that money for more and more cussing.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Until we turn this into the foulest, dankest swamp of profanity that does exist in all of the United States. Listen, 1,400 people, you need a thing. You need a hook. Your town needs a hook. What if it was the town that always cusses? Hey, do you wanna go to the cuss capital of the world?
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah, here, everywhere to cuss. Or the town that never cusses. That seems more attainable. Like if you need a tourist thing, why not do the thing that you're already doing? Oh, okay, Cuss Fest 2024. Don't uproot this town from the firmament. One day a year, they get all their cusses out.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yeah. And then you make it a big festival. Cust day is good. I like the idea of a Cust day. Check this out, movie. Trucker stops in in this town, stops at the diner, and they're like, what can I get you? And he's like a cup of coffee, please, for the road.
Starting point is 00:26:23 And I gave it to him, he spills it on his lap. And he's like, what can I get you? And he's like a cup of coffee, please, for the road. And I gave it to him. He spills it on his lap. And he's like, ah, shit. Everyone in the diner looks up at him terrified. And the server is like, you gotta go. And he's like, what? And she's like, you gotta get out of town. It's quick. And then you hear, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft,
Starting point is 00:26:42 coming because the, the, wrote about the Grim Reaper, the cussing. Pfft, p's like, fuck. Yeah. And then they come for him. Yeah, that's what happens. That's why John Krasinski's just running away going fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Starting point is 00:27:22 And the monster's like, that is bothering me so much much John Krasinski. This is a family restaurant I'm glad that that helped. I just I have a mode you guys have a mode everybody has a mode. Yeah, no Cousin switch. Yeah, you have flip the switch. I do it on saw bones. I don't do it anywhere else I will say that I my favorite version of that mode is when long-car trip kids are like watching the iPad Maybe they got headphones on and I'm like I know that right now isn't a hundred percent safe for me to cut Yeah, but I can cuss quietly into my wife And it's the most I feel back in like 10th grade 11th grade where you're like cussing and you're like yeah shit Yeah, and I and I was, what is all this shit?
Starting point is 00:28:10 And I feel so, like I've gotten away with something. It's a little treat for me. You gotta be careful though, because if you start making it seem too interesting or too important, the obsession will set in. Last night, my wife and I were trying to have a very normal conversation about Saltburn. And she said, you know, the bathtub thing?
Starting point is 00:28:33 And I said, honey, I have no idea what you're talking about. Honey, other people do. Honey, if you say it again, they will haunt you to the ends of the earth. They'll never rest until you tell them and you absolutely can't. Please don't mention things like that again. And immediately as I was saying that, both of them veered into the dining room.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Like they had been, like they sensed the electricity in the air. They know, they know, they always know. I paused the TV watching death and other details as Dot walked in the room. She said, what is this movie? And I, without thinking, said, oh, it's a murder mystery. And she said, what is that? And I was like, what is murder? What is murder?
Starting point is 00:29:16 Yeah. The concept of murder? Uh-huh. Hey, this might surprise you. Hasn't come up a lot with my four-year-old. Yeah. Doesn't come up on fire. It doesn't come up on fire buds. Doesn't come up a lot in Paw four year old. Yeah. Doesn't come up on fire. It doesn't come up on fire buds.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Doesn't come up a lot in Paw Patrol. Does it? What did you tell her that Dr. Frankenford or did to Eddie? It hasn't come up a lot with my four year old. You guys don't watch Rocky Horror every couple of weeks. Now, to be fair, never once she does enjoy Nightmare Before Christmas. And she's never been like, what do Jack
Starting point is 00:29:44 Sellington do to Uggie Boogie? Right, and which I would say self-defense. Now there was, I will say. We're alive. Man slaughter at worst. Quick correction, there was the episode of Paw Patrol where Mayor Humdinger is murdered in his home. And.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Yeah, okay. But Mayor Humdinger faked it. It's done. Faked it, faked it, though. So that was the easy to explain. You still, I gotta push back. You still learn when Chase rolls up, and the Mayor Humdinger's house, he's like, we got a 187.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Yeah. It's a, it's, we got a 187. It's the mayor. And I'll tell you what's wild about that. They never questioned where Mayor Humdinger got the corpse from that he set fire to when he pretended like it was his They just blazed right over that. Yeah, the what speaking of blaze the wildest thing about that episode is it that is still 11 minutes long Yeah, and this thing hauls yeah
Starting point is 00:30:36 Intrugs hold on hold on for the ride of your life because at the end they're still immoral about not wasting food Yeah, there's like a murder mystery. They food. So there's like a whole murder mystery. They just like chuck right through it. They actually, they do a lot. That's also when they introduce shadow rubble. When shadow rubble shows up, the shadow version of rubble, the yellow one of him, the yellow one of them, he did the one eighths,
Starting point is 00:30:59 he did the murder. He did the murder. He did the murder. That's kind of sucked actually, because I like, that's a cheat. You know what I mean? I like's a cheat. I like shadow robber. If I knew there's a shadow robber I'd be like him. It's him. That's him. That one. He did it. Yeah. Listen, we need to take a break to make some money for Jesse. And that's the way that's what he says. That's how he puts it. And we are Fagans boys and we every day trot to San Francisco with our, with our hall. You've got to make a podcast or two. Holy shit.

Soundheap with John Luke Roberts is a real podcast made up of fake podcasts, like if you
Starting point is 00:35:27 had a cupboard in your lower back, what would you keep in it? So I'm going to say mugs. A little yoghurt and a spoon. A small handkerchief that was given to me by my grandmother on her deathbed. Maybe some spare honey? Gotta keep batteries in it. I'd pretend to be a toy. If I had a cupboard in my lower back, I'd probably fill it with spines.
Starting point is 00:35:45 If you had a cupboard in your lower back, what would you keep in it? Doesn't exist. We made it up for Soundheap with John Luke Roberts.

Reading Glasses every Thursday on Maximum Fun. Let's help someone else. I'm not going to stop helping people. Yeah! Today, my partner and I completed the process of buying a new home and we couldn't be more excited Imagine a life for you buy a new home and you think I've got to email the macro about this
Starting point is 00:36:54 What I don't think that's the end of the question Joseph It's your first email is to us and I really appreciate that. Thank you. Congratulations. Everybody wants shit from us They never come to us to share their joys. With good news. We did not know anything about the people selling the house but just hours after we officially closed the deal, we learned that they are moving from the house they sold us to the house right next door.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Meaning there will also be our new neighbors. Should I be happy since if I have any questions about the new house, I can just holler over a fence or should I be weirded out since they will clearly know this house better than we do and be on hand to judge how well we take care of it. That's from domestic concerns in DC and this is, this is a doozy. This is a, this is a dooser right here. Certified dooser. I don't think, I don't think you need to worry about them knowing the house so well that they judge
Starting point is 00:37:47 how you take care of it. I think there's lots of other stuff you need to be worried about. Like? If this happened to me, right, the first thing I think is, what do they know about this house that I don't? That they love this neighborhood so much.
Starting point is 00:38:02 They love this location so much. They love this location so much. Can't stand this house though. Can't stand this house though. They're willing to go through the selling and buying process which is no small fee. Holy problem. We love everything about this place. The one thing is the actual house that we are living in,
Starting point is 00:38:24 I gotta get out. Such a in, I gotta get out. I gotta get out. I even love the specific view that we have from this house. And I'm willing to move that view 25 feet to the right just to get out of this. I hate this house so much. I hate this house so much. What this question doesn't tell you is that that family bought their house from their neighbor. And every year, everyone just moved.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Oh. Hey guys, there's something here. What if every year? Every year? Every couple years. Thank you. Everyone just moved one to the right. Change places. And they just all shift their stuff over? Do you
Starting point is 00:39:08 get to know your neighbors that way a little bit better? I would say they are going to judge every fucking thing. Everything. Every fucking every you're going to be setting up your kitchen day one and you put your microwave in this corner and you're just going to hear like on the window like that's not how we did it. That's not where we put the mic or away. I definitely have I there are I mean I've always lived in Huntington. So except for a rather for unfortunate four years at the beginning of my life in Milton,
Starting point is 00:39:39 West Virginia, the less we speak of that the better. That was the first four years of your life if I remember correctly. Yes, it was I had very little control in the matter. Thank you for that reminder, Travis. And I will still regularly go out of my way to drive past places that Sydney and I have lived previously to see what they're doing. I do it at our old house on Tith Street,
Starting point is 00:39:59 which is next to the apartment Sydney and I had, a block down, I'll check up on them. You checked up on Patrick when he bought our house. I check up on Patrick. I see what Patrick's doing. Huh? I wouldn't have done it that way. Why did you do it that way?
Starting point is 00:40:13 Especially when it comes to like, oh, you cut down that tree that was growing there. Oh. That's the one that chaps my ass a lot. Hey, pal. Yeah. Patrick who planted that. Patrick does listen to this show, I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:40:24 So that's, hey Patrick, did you chop down a fucking tree? Huh? You gotta be honest. It was like George Washington. That had Justin's children's heights carved into it, which is a really shitty way of tracking your kids' heights. The tree moves. Like the tree does, it's gonna change. It's gonna change over time.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Yeah, this is such a nightmare. This is such a scary nightmare. The idea, the thing that is most concerning about it is that they at no point said, we'll be moving next door. Yeah. Because that is. Is entrapment. Is entrapment. They should legally tell you that. It might be nice for mail.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Yeah, that's true. Mail is nice. It'll be nice to not have to track down. You know, you just chuck it over the fence. I'm absolutely kicking myself over here, guys. Okay. Because you know what? I forgot the old riddle. There's two barbers in town, right?
Starting point is 00:41:15 One with a good haircut, one with a bad haircut. Which barber do you go to? You go to the one with a bad haircut because the other barber cut his hair, right? How does that apply to the situation? I'm glad you asked. They moved over to this house because they love the other house so much
Starting point is 00:41:30 they wanna be able to look at it. When they were inside of their house, they couldn't see the inside of it. And so what they know now is that the house you're moving into is beautiful to look at. And the one they're moving into sucks to look at from the outside. Sucks to look at.
Starting point is 00:41:43 You have to look at this shitty ass house. Yeah. Theyucks to look at. You have to look at this shitty ass house. Yeah, they wanted to look at their house. Is that what we're saying? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because your main mode of interacting with any house is looking at it the outside of it and not living in it and putting it in. How often do you look at the outside of your own house, Griffin? Compared to how often you see the outside of your neighbor's house? I mean, when I got the White House across the street, it's hard to look at the outside of your own house, Griffin. Compared to how often you see the outside of your neighbor's house.
Starting point is 00:42:06 I mean, when I got the White House across the street, it's hard to look at anything else. Yeah, hey, congratulations on scoring that prime location, by the way. Yeah, the Capitol building. Yep, 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue. Griffin lives in the Capitol building. That's not what it is.
Starting point is 00:42:20 They said, that's Smithsonian. What is the address of the White House? Says the only brother that lives in Washington, DC. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 1600, so 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue would actually be quite far, quite a ways away. At least four blocks away, I think. Is it, there's a Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Let me see what's it, 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue. Let's see, there's a, oh wow, you know, there's some good stuff. Western Market Food Hall, great. Yeah, I live in the Western. Is it a neighborhood? You would live there? Yeah, I mean, great. Yeah, I live in the Western. Is it a neighborhood? You live there? Yeah, I mean, it's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I actually know this building. Yeah, yeah, it was great. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Anybody else wanna talk about different places in Washington, D.C. and their addresses? Da-la-la-la-la-la. Thank you so much, Shust.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Da-la-la-la-la-la. Da-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. I want a Munch Squad. Squad. I want to Munch Squad. Squad. Welcome to Munch Squad. It's a podcast within a podcast profiling the latest and greatest in brand eating.
Starting point is 00:43:21 And whenever I go to Chuck E Cheese, what is my first thought as I dig into my pizza pie? How did I get here? There's no Chuck E Cheese in Huntington, West Virginia. Where am I? Wow. I have a Billy Bob's Wonderland that just got bought by Fun City, by the way, guys. What? Matter of time. All the stuff from Fun City over to the Billy Bob's. So Billy Bob's is absolutely over stuff with all the stuff from Fun City and who's moving into the old Fun City location at the mall. It's David Buster's. My God, is she fucking?
Starting point is 00:43:55 Yes. By what you mean, Barbersville, but yeah. Don't oh, we can't do this. Not here. OK. We're not going to talk about. Well, yeah, you're right. You're right. Lack of foresight. You're right. The Huntington City Council in the mid70s that decided it would be bettered with the mall in Barbersville because they didn't want to kill businesses downtown, which they did a fine job of that all on its own
Starting point is 00:44:14 Not the topic the topic today is when I dig into the pizza pie at At Chuck E cheese my first thought is always how can I get this flavor at home? Good news. Like Pizza? Chuck E Cheese launches a new cookbook. How to get pizza at home? That's like, Chuck E Cheese, the beloved family entertainment brand that's been delighting families for decades,
Starting point is 00:44:35 has extended the Chuck E Cheese experience beyond the fund centers. That's what it says, with the launch of the Chuck E Cheese and Friends Party Cookbook with Weldon Owen Publishing. Note here, Weldon Owen was the publisher of the Sawbones book. That is not true. But it is good, Justin, to clarify,
Starting point is 00:44:53 there's a conflict of interest. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. There had to be just one person in the room who came up with Fun Centers and then didn't tell anyone about it. Because that is the most surface level Orwellian double speak that I've maybe ever heard in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Doctor, doctor, can you save him? No, as you can see here on the x-ray, the damage is to his Fun Centers. There's nothing, we can't. If you look at his brain activity, his Fun Center is completely flat. So. No. Chefs, mini chefs and party planners should get ready to eat and dance. I don't know any chef. Oh like kids Okay, yeah in the Chuck E cheese and friends party cookbook the gang has fun and tasty parties
Starting point is 00:45:36 They want to share with everyone from Chuck E cheese's night party. No, sorry Chuck E's game night party to Jasper T. Jowell's Howlin' Hoot Nanny and Helen Hennie's all day breakfast sleepover. Now wait, hold on. It's drilled down on just, I wanna talk about Helen Hennie's all day breakfast sleepover. That was too much too fast, one at a time please. Charles Entertainment's having a night party? Is that it?
Starting point is 00:46:00 I'm telling you about Chuck E. Cheese's night party. Chuck E. No one can see in the night time E. Cheese's night party. Chuck E. No one can see in the nighttime. Comes a game night party. You guys know Freddy Fazbear? I think you'll enjoy my night party. Helen Hennies all day breakfast sleepover. OK.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Now, what could that be? If I ate breakfast all day, I would need to sleep. That is a good call. If I had waffles all day, I'm a sleepy boy. That is true. This person continued, whoever wrote this continues unattended. I refuse to believe the author of this had a supervisor. Each party is chock full of delicious theme recipes
Starting point is 00:46:42 from tasty vampels for your next Halloween party. What? Vampals? Vampals? Vampals? Is it vampire samples? Is it? Vampals? Vampals. To Fridge Toast Dippers for the Kids Next Slumber Party to Bella's favorite quesadilla pizza from her Festa fiesta and more. Fuck yes.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Can we go back? I feel like we just scooched past whatever the commander jowls howling good time was. Yeah you don't need to talk about Jasper T. Jowls howling hoot nanny. You can also share some of Pasquale's hilarious jokes, listen to DJ Munch's remix of Chuck E's happy dance and cut loose with the spring sensation that's sweeping the nation. The spring break break dance. Spring break break dance. Good news, you can preorder it now. Oh, I think I will do that.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Is it an audio book? It could beat the rush. No, is it an actual book? OK, but there's music in it. Yeah. OK. And so it's just the lyrics of links to videos, dance links to video dance in the book. In the book, I guess.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Yes. So you click the book, you click on the page, just push the book and it opens. I will say this. Yes. It would be great if you could do links in books and it would be even better if this was the first book to crack that technology open. If this be, it would revolutionize sort of school like textbooks in general and to have this be the creator of that technology would be, would be a huge moment for history. Now listen, I'm looking at this and I, looking at it, I see that this is geared
Starting point is 00:48:29 probably more towards children and parents of children. I'm sorry, do you mean mini chefs? Mini chefs, how great would it be though, if this was like a fucking like Gordon Ramsay, Nigella Lawson, serious ass, and it was just called like Chuck E. Cheese, PZA, or whatever, and it was just him like Chuck E. Cheese, P-Z-A, or whatever, and it was just him at like a marble countertop,
Starting point is 00:48:48 just like tasting like marinara from a spoon while he looked at the camera, and it was fucking serious ass, like how to throw a Chuck E. Cheese party. That's all I want now. More serious Chuck E. Cheese literature. The piss is my favorite member of the food tank, Klan. Is that anything? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha your faces on here. I think the chef on the left is past squally. If I had the gas.

Starting point is 00:49:34 Yeah, but he's got a little bit too much. The camera is off. Hold on one second. Well, hold on one second. Choose your camera is off. Is it just? Yeah, I'll face it as soon as we're done with this. Well, this is this. Is it just? Yeah, I'll face it. As soon as we're done with this. Well, this is this. Is this not the show? Yeah, just as soon as we're done talking

Starting point is 00:50:24 I just I want to hang a lantern on the new cape because you're surfing young pope realness Well, thank you. It is a Superman Because I'm feeling really super Because I get to tell you about the newest invention from my blood brother The crispy cream about the newest invention from my blood brother Dave's skin. At the Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme rose out heart shaped donuts. Of course. In a custom dough notes box. Sorry. One more time. OK, with the accent that it.

This Valentine's Day Krispy Kreme is filling the world with love by providing guests with four all-new heart-shaped donuts in a delightful custom Do's dozens box that can be personalized. Awesome.

Yes, beginning today through Valentine's Day, Krispy Kreme's new Valentine's Day donuts collection is perfect for sharing love with family, friends, whole workers, neighbors, or anyone special in your life. Yeah. New donut flavors include you color my world, which is a donut. Not a flavor traditionally. I love you a chocolate.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Okay. This similarly is a donut. Yeah. You're very sweet. Another donut. Gosh, I know you were just saying the name of the donut, but that really, that boosted my spirits a little bit to hear you say that. Without you, I'd crumble. These are really deep donuts. Yeah. The donutnuts dozens box include space for a hundred written note from giver to receiver As well as notes I shit you not as well as notes from Krispy Kreme team members around the world Most boxes have room for Notes if you've jamed a box so full
Starting point is 00:52:46 that a slip of paper can't fit inside of it, that is an incredibly efficient use of space. Yes, they've really made it special for all the Krispy Kreme heads out here. Of course we have to check in with Dave's skin because I'm over here thinking, why on earth did you do this? But Dave Dave can tell you Dave is Dave is here to say people aren't just craving delicious donuts.
Starting point is 00:53:12 They crave connection. And our new collection satisfies both needs. Dave's skin, a global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, a dozen Valentine's Day donuts in our custom dough notes. Dozen dough notes, dough notes, dozens box is the perfect gesture to show someone special in your life. How much you care about that you have this unhealthy, codependent relationship with them.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Dave, Dave, Dave, if I may, I know that in this, in this earth upon which we live, there's a lot of discussion about how some people, notably I would say men, have a hard time expressing their emotions. And so there comes times like Valentine's Day when we talk about that and the problems with that. If we have sunk to a level in which somebody's only way of comfortably expressing their emotions is with a donut box with a note scrawled on it, we have so many deeper problems as a culture, as a society to examine that it's like, yeah, I didn't know how to say this to your face, so what I did, I wrote it on this box
Starting point is 00:54:28 and I did eat one of the donuts on the way over. Like, get it together. I would disagree on one count. You see Travis, the box has a space for another. Oh, okay. Did you ignore that part? I would also say Travis. I'm looking at the box where said note is there's a little space on it and it says deliver a dough note to someone special and then has what looks to be two lines to sum up your feelings for this person. Not a lot of room.
Starting point is 00:54:56 And a to and from, not even with love. One other brief note. They mentioned in the passing that there are notes from crispy cream team members all around the world looking good. What could that be? What on earth could that what messages of romantic love could be expressed to me by the guy that drives the drive the truck from Missoula to the rest of Montana. To the river, the doughnuts. They're not notes of love, Justin. They're notes of well wishes
Starting point is 00:55:30 for the experience you're about to have. There's one that says, I hope you like the cream. Sincerely, the cream, gentlemen. And he's the one who does the cream. These sprinkles are going to knock your ass on the ground. I did the drizzle from the drizzler. I tricked your dumb ass into buying these from Dave's scanner.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Dave is in charge of tricks. I also want to push back Travis on the idea that this is a bad way to show your feelings. Travis, there's nothing you could say to me, no matter how long or well thought out or meaningful It is that you could say to me right now that would be better to me than a box of a dozen delicious Krispy Kreme donuts with two lines of bullshit in it One of those is going to really mean a lot to me and it's also the one that's gonna fill my belly with sweet donut bread Hey Griffin, I want to take Joe's other in for a second. So what you're saying is my love as your brother. Hold on, wait, let me take this fucking stupid cape off. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:56:30 What you're saying is that my love for you, there is nothing I could say that would mean more to you than a box of donuts? Words are cheap. Actions cost money at. Jeez, Gordon, Jack, go. At stores, who love for me? At stores, actions cost money at stores. Geez, Gordon Gekko, what are you filming? Actions cost money. At stores, actions cost money.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Without that, what does it mean? So if I was just like, I love you, you're my brother, I've always been really proud to be your brother, but I didn't have donuts in my hand, it means nothing to you. No, Travis, that's not what I'm saying. Don't make me have to be a monster. Of course it means something.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Buh! Can I? I'm not kidding. We record this show just long enough, long enough. And Munch Squad hits at the exact point of the recording where I am a mite peckish. The secret for munch squad for me is that it's a wonderful little oasis where I get to
Starting point is 00:57:29 think about food for a little bit and so especially right now Travis no there is nothing you could say to me that would be as good for me personally then words because the words are important they come come with donuts. A dozen beautiful words. Okay, so just to be clear, I love the R-E-SPEC you, I'm proud of you're my brother. I make sure she'll so nice to hear that Travis, thank you so much, I feel the same way about you. Donut box, no words, which would you choose?
Starting point is 00:57:58 In this exact moment, donut box. Well, in this moment right now, I am not kidding, Travis, hungry and I want donuts. I don't want love, but I appreciate that you're giving it to me. Count donuts there at those stupid fucking donuts so long that my body's hungry. Can I tell you, I actually really fucking want donuts.
Starting point is 00:58:14 That's it, I don't care about work. I'm not even sharing the picture of these beautiful babies with you guys, cause they look so fucking good. And I'm in my head like, am I gonna have to drive to South Charleston? Is that how my day is gonna go Yeah, just kidding. I just go to the Pirate Yeah, no baby be feel man. No baby. No baby be feel man
Starting point is 00:58:32 They make a vow they make the same Valentine's Day donut and they have making since I was a fucking baby And it's incredible heart-shaped donut and filled with white cream It's got pink glaze on top and sometimes there's a face and and they kick I see that kind of white cream you want to know that funky custard No, thank you custard here the good shit And if you get there early enough around Easter time you can get doughnut eggs that have colorful sprinkles on them and they are Unreal mr.
