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 mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Hello, everybody. Welcome to My Brother, My Brother Me, an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy, and boy, do we have an exciting, exciting way to kick off the show this week. I'm your middlest brother, Travis McElroy, before Justin just skips all the way over me. Yeah, I'm the baby brother Griffin McElroy, and it's been a few episodes since I
Starting point is 00:01:03 said my name because I feel like this shit really just runs off the rails pretty much as soon as we start. So thank you for the opportunity. Yeah, so this is a formal world exclusive. We have obtained through some unscrupulous methods a leak track off the Daphne Punk. Is that what you said, Griffin? Daphne Punk, yeah. Do you know the name of that album? Just the title isn't even out there. I think it's called Daphne Punk You Brewster. Now, Griffin, you got to, sorry, Daph Punk, I'm reading my cue character here, Daph Punk. Can you tell us a bit about the track we're going to be hearing? Sure, so Daph Punk is a, they're one of those bands for like extreme music that just does
Starting point is 00:01:46 songs for commercials for, you know, like for The Gap. There was that one Gap commercial where the girl from Cape Fear just sort of danced in her jeans and was having a good time and then the two friendly robots came along and just like played her a song for her to enjoy the jeans in. Would I have heard them on Echoes with John D. Libertas? Were there gap commercials that ran interstitially? Almost exclusively. Okay, well then yeah, probably if it was like mid-2000s. All right, let me just push, let me get the cart here and I'm gonna pop it in to the old,
Starting point is 00:02:20 okay, it's all loaded up. Is it eight tracks? Jesus. Yeah, and I'm just pushing play. Bring the beat. Gonna fuck the beat. Oh yeah, bring the beat. We're gonna fuck the beat. That's what a robot voice sounds like. Do you have some oil? Do you have some oil? Oil, do you have some oil for my robot legs? My fingers are USB drives and we are gonna dance all night long today. What emotions?
Starting point is 00:02:58 Make sure to like really specify when the dancing is gonna take place. From seven p.m. to one a.m. We're going to get a solid chunk of time. Do you want to dance before you're very electrocuted? We are your dad's lords. Just a reminder, we have to be out of the rec center by 10. Music ordinances kicking at 10 30. Please buy a CD. That's their new CD chart or a Bible.
Starting point is 00:03:34 It's pretty good. Pretty good goose. Man, guys, I think that funk has lost its step. I've never heard their music before, but I can't imagine it wasn't better. Or is it edgier than it's ever been? That's a good point. Their formula is really just say a bunch of verbs. Just say a bunch of verbs or adjectives just back to back to back and it's solid.
Starting point is 00:03:55 How are they the gerunds? Gerunds texting, walking, running, looking. I would listen to that song. It's basically Schoolhouse Rock Live with a vocoder. So let's actually help some people this week. Thank you first before we go any further. Thank you to everyone who helped us to crush our maximum fun drive goals to those of you who are donors, new donors.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Thank you so much for sure. You're enjoying the show in a sort of a much more appropriate way than you ever have before. Or perhaps you are placing more scrutiny upon us than has ever you've ever decided to expend. All sales are final. Well, they're not final. It's a monthly recurring thing. All sales are final. All right, cool.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Let's answer some advice. I'll also thank you guys so much and thank you to Daft Punk. Thank you for coming on the show. Thank you. I recently visited a college that's five hours away with a friend from school. He had been planning the trip for weeks and had intended to go alone. He invited me to accompany him at the last minute on the way home. He was very clear that he expected gas money from me.
Starting point is 00:05:09 He knows I don't have a job. Am I a freeloader for not feeling that I should pay for something that he has been prepared to pay for himself for weeks? That's from possible Cheapskate in Chesapeake and friend of friends. First off, that is a great name for your you're so lucky that your region dovetailed grammatically so well with Cheapskate. Secondly, that sucks. Yeah, he did a little rope dope there.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Well, let's answer some because there's so many variables, right? There's so many variables. Where were you going? Were you going to Chicago? Were you going somewhere cool that you sort of did you enjoy the trip in any way? Because if it was just a favor for your friend and fuck that guy. But if you got, you know, if you went there for a destination hot dog, then like you got something out of the experience that yeah,
Starting point is 00:06:00 maybe you should have to pony up. Well, well, here's the thing. I would say that if there was no discussion beforehand about splitting gas, if he was just like, hey, I'm headed up to, you know, Syracuse, you want to go? Like, yeah, I think that in most situations, there isn't implied like I'll help out with gas. But if it was never discussed, you're not you're not obligated. All right, so tough. It is tough.
Starting point is 00:06:26 And like, luckily, this is the kind of thing that like when you get a little bit older and at you and hopefully you and everyone you know becomes a little bit more financially secure, things like this and things like splitting the check just sort of stop being a problem or at least has big of a problem. But I mean, if he knows that you don't have any money, how do you not know what your friend's financial statuses are and then not put them in a situation that makes them uncomfortable? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And yeah, yeah, general rule. Hey, everybody out there as it's getting to the time of year when everyone's going on spring break together and college visits and everything, stay to your friends before him. Like, hey, I'm going to need you to pony up some cash afterwards. Yeah. And don't do it like you're going to break their knees because they got a free ride. But he was doing a favor. I mean, this should have been obvious.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Like you were obviously doing him a solid by going on this trip and not making him go alone to go college hunting, which will be a bummer. Also, side note, this guy's going to move five hours away. That $20 isn't going to move five hours away. The $20 is just going to be gone. So I think that if he wants to sever your friendship, that's his problem. He also totally invited you. So it's a little sketchy to be like, hey, you want to go with me?
Starting point is 00:07:40 Oh, by the way, now that you want to come, it's going to cost you. By the way, if you're going to split gas money, you got to do it tank by tank. And if you fill up one tank, he fills up the other tank. If you're going to split it, that's how you do it. You don't fill up all the tanks and say, let me crunch some numbers real quick. Let me do some mileage calculations. Let me see it. With the mileage and the juice, you now owe me 65.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Large. 65 large. It's $65,000. I drove there on plutonium, purest plutonium. What a dick. My car is fueled by Justin Bieber's fingers. So that is very pricey. Why is it his fingers?
Starting point is 00:08:21 It's pricey. Did you see that fool? Did you see that? Did he do the funniest thing? The fucking, the fucking, Travis, did you see this? No, what was it? I only find the exact quote. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:08:32 He, so Justin Bieber's visited the Anne Frank house like, like you do. Is this where your friend took you for a five hour drive? Because that's a thank you. We're going to go to Anne Frank University. That's a destination hot dog. You're going to love it there. He went there and he had such a great time. It's very meaningful.
Starting point is 00:08:52 It's a very, it's a stirring experience. One is struck at the Anne Frank Museum. And being so struck, Justin Bieber picked up pen, put it to the guest book and wrote. Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a believer. Hope, that almost sounds menacing, doesn't it? Like, if she knows what's good for her.
Starting point is 00:09:21 If she wasn't a believer, fuck that broad. If she walked the true and honest path, then my love would have protected her. Do you know what I think she would not have actually been a fan of? Anything that emitted any kind of sound whatsoever that may betray her position. She was a discreet young woman. And, and I think that you screaming the word baby, like some sort of shrieking Mandragora would would fucking put her sort of off a little bit. The man wears giant sunglasses and gold gloves.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Like she's trying to keep a low probe. She's trying to skirt it under the under the raid. And you are about as above the raid as there possibly is. Plus, she could she wouldn't be able to help herself from screaming and just grabbing at you, grabbing at your gins, getting off topic. We're getting off topic for the first time ever. No, but this is a, this is a legitimately shitty move. You weren't going, you were going to try to help him out.
Starting point is 00:10:25 You were certainly like not, this was not like a shared buddy trip. I mean, unless I think that unless you're thinking about the college too, in which case like, I mean, I guess, but even then it seems kind of wienery because it wasn't discussed beforehand. Like he blew it. You know, if he wanted that to be part of the arrangement, he should have brought it up before. I think that you are well within your rights to not necessarily be like, no, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I'm not giving you half the money. But to say, listen, man, I don't have that money, but now I owe you a favor for the ride and I'll hit you back later. You know what I mean? And then it'll probably just drop and never be a thing again. Anyways, you got to kill your friend. You got to kill your friend. You got to kill your friend.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Man, we haven't dropped one of those in a while, have we? Listen, I've been watching a lot of Justify and when you don't got that money, you got to kill them. You got to either kill them or like, you got to trick somebody into getting the money for you from some bank that apparently has been robbed 18 times. The whole reason we have that ball ball disclaimer at the top of the show. Thank you, Bob Ball.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Is so we can advise people to kill people as a joke and then we can't get sued for it. And we are squandering that. Hey, can I tangent off for a second, you guys? Sure. Sure. I saw a commercial last night. You know those pass it on commercials or it's like integrity, pass it on, you know, sportsmanship, pass it on.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Saw one. Those are for Scientology, right? Yeah. I saw one last night where like a teacher is in her classroom, right? And it's all these middle school students and it's, she's given a test and the kid starts passing a note. So she rolls over like pins down the note with her ruler and all the kids like, oh, and she opens the note and it says, let's not cheat.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And she like looks at the kids and nods and the title comes up. Honesty, pass it on. The conspiracy, the conspiracy is off. Abort, abort. But like, is the phrasing of that note not something that the teacher go, wait, hold up, wait. So like until this moment, it was down. Like, oh, you know what I'm saying, guys, let's not cheat.
Starting point is 00:12:31 What a wonderful way of casting dispersions on your seat, mate. You have to pass him a note. I was like, I don't know what you said. I don't know what he's talking about. No, I will not gay kiss your wiener. Let me see that note. No, I will not gay kiss your wiener. Honesty, pass it on.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Todd. Todd. This is an all girls school. You're an absurdist comedian. I think you're fantastic. I think you're great. Todd. I love your work.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Like a young Andy Coffman. You want a y'all here? Yeah, please. This Yahoo, oh god, it's the IRA ratio this week. Hold on, I'll give it, I'll give it to you. I'll give you the fucking prompt. Okay. This Yahoo is sitting by.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I want to make sure I'm ready. This, oh fuck. Were you going to warn me beforehand? I'll say is, I'll say the only prompt that you have, that we know, that you've come to know, the relationship that we built, I wasn't going to betray that. This Yahoo was. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:32 This Yahoo was sitting by IRA. Wait, I wasn't ready. I'm done. Thank you, IRA. Just want to say, give it to you one more time. This one's sitting by IRA. IRA, who wants to know? How did you do that with your mouth?
Starting point is 00:13:46 You're going to have to pass it. Can you pass me the tabulature to that song? Because it sounded like you played a J-shark. It sounded like you played an R, R minor seventh. It also sounded a little bit like you were just giving him in Western movies. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Thank you, IRA.
Starting point is 00:14:06 No, it's not that. Here it is. It's not going to. Are you IRA? Sure, sure, sure. Thank you, IRA. It's by Yahoo. Introduce your Pharex who asks.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Please don't interrupt it, because it's so good. How does one become the official Ronald McDonald? I see that McDonald's uses basically one actor for all their media. And just out of curiosity, was wondering how one goes about applying to be the Ronald McDonald. Have checked out their website and it is never a job position open. Not that I want to be him, but just was curious how something would go about becoming.
Starting point is 00:14:49 First of all, horse shit. Of course you want to be him. Everyone does. Who in their right mind would look up to see if that position was open if they weren't trying to fill it? And you know you want to do it for the ladies. Gentlemen, I have before me a list of all the actors who've ever played Ronald McDonald.
Starting point is 00:15:11 They only use one at a time. Is this for real? Yes. It's like Dr. Who? I'm going to ask you skill testing questions about the actors who've played Ronald McDonald. First off, since 1963, how many actors do you believe have played Ronald McDonald? 12.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Since 1963? Yeah, six. Incorrect, nine. Split the middle. We would have fucking had it, Travis. Let's work together on the rest. Okay. No, Travis.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Wait, let's not cheat. I don't want to cheat anymore. I came up with the idea first, but let's abandon that. Let's abandon that. I'm going to give you four names. You're going to tell me whether or not they were actual actors. The actual names of actors that played Ronald McDonald. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Jack the Pecky. Okay. Joe Magard. King Moody. Squire Friddle. I'm going to say all are actual. All are real. King Moody played Ronald McDonald from 75 to 1984.
Starting point is 00:16:23 With a name like that, you simply cannot have a bad day. I also imagine I want that to not be his Christian name. I want that to be like, he was sitting there going, I just need something to set me apart from the other applicants. Or like his wife was like, man, why are you so down all the time, King Moody? And he's like, stop digging. You have struck gold, my lady. I also would point out how much Joe Magard sounds like, oh my god.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Joe Magard, Joe Magard, you guys, I am horrified of this person who walks into a McDonald's with like Ronald McDonald clown makeup and kit. He's wearing his Ronald McDonald glad rags and he walks into a McDonald's like, here I am. Look no further. Look no further. You found me. Is this the audition zone? Is that what they call those?
Starting point is 00:17:11 I'm ready to ace this thing. I'm ready to ace this audition in the audition. Sir, please get out of the ball pit. Why not? This is what, this is what Mac does. This is what me, Mac do. He played the role, King Moody played the role for like seven years. It's insanity.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yeah. You know what? I would like to see it like you see a list of like all the heavyweight champions where it's like King Moody versus Black because I think it's like a yearly thing. Someone steps up and they're like, I'm ready to be the new Ronald. And then you got to fight it out and then eventually someone displaces and that's how they become the new Ronald. Who was the Ronald McDonald during our childhood?
Starting point is 00:17:49 Uh, well, it was mainly Squire Fredell, I guess, who was, who had the, the part. Is there an active, there's not an active agent right now, right? He's sleep, he's a sleeper. No, Brad Lennon is the active agent. What the fuck? I haven't seen a fucking Ronald McDonald in a commercial in a grip. I actually really like- Is he just, is he just the body that they did the cast of for the, the, the statue that sits
Starting point is 00:18:12 out on the bench with his arm around you and then- That is actually a coffin made just for him. That's where he lies and wait. You ready for the activation order? Actually, if you click on the bio of Brad Lennon right now, it takes you to the page for Ronald McDonald, which is a very sort of- God. Dread Pirate Roberts vibe that I enjoy.
Starting point is 00:18:34 By the way, guys, I conducted a survey among our listeners a couple of weeks ago and they said their favorite thing is when Justin does internet on tape. Who has the time to read the internet when Justin can just read the whole thing to you? It's everyone's favorite. There's someday I'm gonna get through the whole thing. IMDb is so deep and it's like, it would take me ages to read all of it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Justin's got you for your car, for your kitchen, for your home. I will read the internet to you anywhere. Anywhere. Anytime. I hope to High Heavens that McDonald's never does the thing that- I feel like a couple places have done it. Wendy's is the latest transgressor where they take their mascot and they turn it into a real human being with real human being attributes and then have them talk about how fun their food is.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Like Wendy's has- Are you talking about that red-haired girl? It's a red-haired girl and she's like a real girl now. She's just like, you know, an attractive looking- But you know what's funny? I've never once seen a single Wendy's commercial though where she is called Wendy. No, but come the fuck on. There's clearly- well no, here's the troubling thing though about this commercial.
Starting point is 00:19:46 There's also a Wendy's commercial airing opposite that one that features actual Wendy and she's an overweight middle-aged woman. So that's gotta be hard to see that they've like recast you as the person you are. They also have a Wendy's commercial in which the cartoon, you know, emblem of Wendy's speaks. I'm like that either. So it's like a it's like a father-son-and-holy-ghost kind of thing that they've got going on. That's really creepy. One of these Wendy's is gonna do it for you.
Starting point is 00:20:13 You will be able to beat it to one of these Wendy's. I hope to Jesus, if you're a McDonald's executive and you're listening to this episode of the podcast, thank you for your patronage. But also if you ever make a commercial featuring a Ronald McDonald who is not a clown, can you imagine like a hip reinvention of Ronald? He's like a he's like a 22-year-old hipster that just like talks about how fun it is to eat chicken dippers. I mean, he's carrot top.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Like like if we bring him into the real, if we bring him out of cool world. I referenced that movie the other day. I said the cartoon movie with Brad Pitt that wasn't Roger Rabbit and people thought I was fucking smoking crack. I need to get with it. Get with the program. How do you pick? Okay, so the question, the pressing question.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Actually, how much when they pick a pope, they dig deep, right? Like they have to get into his history. If you do that with the president when you're vetting your presidential candidate, like how deep do you have to go into the closet of the man who will be playing the giant? Oh, yeah. Can I child befriending my opinion? My take on it?
Starting point is 00:21:36 I bet it is like president vetting plus pope times three. Yeah. Oh, it's got a bit. Well, yeah, because how do you find a clown? Because I imagine they're looking for former clown experience. How do you find a clown that hasn't at least killed one kid? How do you do that? Good luck.
Starting point is 00:21:53 How do you thread that needle? You can't thread that needle. The two go hand in hand. You got to like Captain America it and just take like a normal guy who hasn't been a clown and then get Stanley Tucci to eject stuff in him. How do you think clowns know what kids find so funny? It's because they've cut them open. They got inside there.
Starting point is 00:22:12 This is getting dark. I don't know how Squire Fidel is so easily able to touch the heart of a child. Yeah, because he knows like exactly where it is. Exactly where the A or does. Do you think at this point he's Knight Fidel? I hope so. Let's answer any question. One other note about Squire Fidel super quick.
Starting point is 00:22:30 He was the Ronald McDonald in Mac and Me. So if you've seen Mac and Me. Please turn to side two. I knew that one though. I didn't know. You didn't know shit. Mac and Me only made back half of the budget. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Stop it. Please. You want another question. Jesus. Not Mac and Me related. And not from Wikipedia. Is that what you're telling me? Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:00 At the college dorm in which I resided for the past semester, there is a shared set of washing machines and dryers for students usage in the building basement. While my laundry is washing, I'll generally spend time up in my room or chatting with friends. However, if I'm away from my clothes for any amount of time they are done in the wash, it's likely another resident will remove my clothes, place it on top of the washing machine, and set their own clothes to wash. This happens also when I use the dryer and my friends have all tested the same.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Am I mistaken in thinking this is a violation of my right not to have my underwear viewed publicly and touched by foreign hands? Or am I just being oversensitive? What should I do to prevent this from happening again? Not a nudist in New England. There's a really easy solution to keep this from happening again. And that's fucking just stay let just take your shit out of the shit when it's done. Because people are busy too.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Other people are busy. I would also ask like kind of the one factor is it depends on the size of the laundry room. Is this like you guys share one set of washer and dryer or there's like 20 sets of washer and dryer and someone's just being an ass? I mean it's obvious. As your question, someone will see an empty washing machine, see a full one of your clothes and say well fuck that guy. You know at my college in my dorm there was like there were sets of washers and dryers
Starting point is 00:24:20 that people would just wouldn't use because they all had different opinions of like oh no it takes way too long to dry in those and it won't get it all the way done and that washer smells weird. So yeah there would be like people had favorite washers and dryers that they would do that. That's fucking bonkers. It was. And then I saw one time like somebody put tennis shoes in a fucking dryer and like destroyed the dryer.
Starting point is 00:24:43 How's that potpourri spreading? Yeah let's heat these up. Let's get the funk out of these. And they like ductated the dryer shut because like you know it would knock the door open. It was the fucking stupidest thing. You are living under the assumption that everybody in your dorm is a pervert and that they will like when they are taking your poopy boxers out of the washer they're like looking at them and just like oh god yes this is just what I this is just how I wanted to spin my Tuesday
Starting point is 00:25:19 is touching something that has touched a complete stranger's bung. This is just what I needed. But even that sexual the sexual evidence has been erased by washing. Exactly. You can't even trick yourself into thinking there's some still going on. And they are soaking wet. There's there's young fresh bung butter on there. It's just oh god beautiful.
Starting point is 00:25:40 This is this is exactly what I. If there's anything I love touching more than strangers undergarments it's when they're also moist the fuck no it's gross and it's kind of rude. And you did it it's your fault and you did it go downstairs and wait to like wait to do that. Find out how long if you're if your complaint is man I hate waiting for my laundry to be done. Yeah yeah yeah everybody. Everybody does you know what people also hate waiting to start doing their laundry waiting to wait for their laundry to be done because somebody left their shit in the shit.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Just take it out. Set aside my phone. That said I'm going to tell you how to do it. Okay. And I've never done this before but it occurred to me and I think it will work. And it requires that when you put your laundry in the machine no one else is in there. Okay. You're going to pop a sign the same size as the window of the washer and dryer that says out of order.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Oh okay. Your shit is done and people come downstairs they're like oh well that one doesn't work and they're going to leave your shit alone. Let's just hope they don't come in while it's a fucking function. Even then my point being that it will put a seed of doubt in their minds and they're like well someone put their clothes in but what if it is like you're not supposed to you know burn their clothes there to like make your clothes smell like dookie. Well then why don't you why don't you put more make it more specific or and put a sign on it
Starting point is 00:27:02 that says like this is this is super hot it'll it'll cook your clothes. Or if you just put a sign up on the dryer that just says is a microwave. Do you like that? That would be pretty good. The first time that you go to leave your your washing or drying unattended and you put jelly on the handle then you went um you went if you could ideally you would be waiting in an adjacent washing machine just pop out there jelly. Justin just fucking went through college with a bandolier of Vaseline around it just
Starting point is 00:27:36 dishing out justice like you parked a little close to my car let me just slurp. Vaseline might be more pleasant though like if you have jelly on your hands that's like your whole day yeah oh syrup syrup syrup fucking forms a biofuse with your hand it it melds with your DNA or like poop come on Trav what I come on a logical conclusion come on you're right how do you get the poop from your butt to the head a little bit we were talking about like your brain like things you can put on pancakes and just some jinx man not not like we're gonna hide jinx not like fucking federal prison god damn for butts you really shot the cannon indoors on this one Trav I feel awful yeah you guys want yahoo yeah I do actually um oh this is this is oh god such
Starting point is 00:28:32 a great segue uh this one was sent by IRA are you IRA who wants to know it's by yahoo answers user bob who asks how to hurt someone stole your money someone stole 20 dollars for me and I know they will try again I was thinking of putting a mousetrap in my pocket so the next time they try to take it pop ow yep should I do this backfire at all should I do this or something else to cause more harm I want to have evidence but I don't want to ruin my pants in the process maybe a needle into an ideas what it deny any ideas okay there okay wait okay so they had a okay so they had a $20 bill in their pocket they noticed the $20 bill had gone astray and they thought that what had happened was someone reached into their pants pocket and taken a $20 bill out this same person
Starting point is 00:29:32 has this sort of fundamental misunderstanding of just mousetrap physics or just physics it just spatial physics in general unless you're wearing some fucking jinkos unless you're unless you're sporting those jinkos you could put a fucking landmine that you could put a claymore of those things and it would be fine some jinkos come with landmines that's actually the best answer is by yahoo answers user fred who says go to walmart by duct tape and several pvc pipes oil and glass also by a radio and a receiver put the oil and shards of glass inside the pvc pipes and close up the ends with duct tape once you do this put a radio receiver on each pvp pvp pipe use your radio to set off the pipes once you put them in and around his house
Starting point is 00:30:22 the result of this that didn't make any what the result of this is that he will die that's how you get back at him smiley face source x marine yes oh x marine you've solved the problem so elegantly whiskey tango fox try we got a x marine x marine the one the one ingredient you left out of your explosive device is any kind of explosive well they said oil so like you know how whenever you like are on a walkie-talkie and you send a message to one of your friends and an electrocutes them a little bit uh-huh just a bit that's why i said they'd be anywhere near any kind of oil i saw this happen on mythbusters it's fine i think that if you are building uh a solution to a problem if you're constructing a solution to a problem chief among the requirement of the uh for it to
Starting point is 00:31:15 be a valid solution is that does not kill you in the process and i think that you are really rob and peter to pay paul for this one because you will die um won't be great to you those if you destroyed his house and he just barely survives and looked at you and's like why did you do this i'm like because you took that 20 dollars out of my pocket you mean the 20 dollars in this month glass covered burning ash across the highway that used to be your asshole that was a full king solomon you just like destroyed it so neither of you could have it to prove that you love that 20 dollar bill more um the butt surgery you require tragically is is going to cost much much more than that and then and then after all said are done you remember that like you loaned him that
Starting point is 00:32:01 20 when you were drunk i think you gotta put a plastic bag in there and you put some sort of some sort of material on there or just cover your 20 and vastly yeah or maybe if there was god if there was some sort of some sort of secure some sort of way to secure your wallet like to your body that would look cool and also kind of tough and sort of like let people know what kind of music you listen to what if the material you put in your pocket that gets on his hand is some sort of bioluminescent marking fluid that signals the drone strike attack this is that is predicated on you also having access to drone sex marines i also though i would can't report you by saying that is important that whatever solution you come up with costs less than 20 dollars why don't you
Starting point is 00:32:52 kill them with this drone strike that cost me 20 000 dollars worth it or just start caring on ten dollar bills and then they get they go through all the work to pick pocket you and they say what it's a 10 and you turn around say enjoy enjoy the ten dollar bill it's half of the haul you thought this isn't pretty good well nothing you turn around and go in this economy and then you kick them in the face yeah you say that doesn't fix anything i got a soda outside the hb so it's just parched and i put in two dollars for the dollar 25 charge for the soda as a wild cherry pepsi so i was pretty excited it's rare that i treat myself to a wild cherry pepsi and the fucking machine spat out seven times in a nickel and i just i swear to god i just turned and walked

Starting point is 00:41:46 take a weekly look at all the issues important to ladies and gays and treat them with much less respect than they deserve it's for gay people it's for straight people it's for lady it's for people who love to laugh who love comedy and love tragedy and love crying and who hate drinking and driving because that's messed up don't text check out throwing shade subscribe for free in itunes or go to maximumfun.org uh here's another question hey brothers three when i have a bunch of people over to drink at my house and i wake up before them in the morning what am i allowed to do can i clean do i have to stay as silent as possible that's from the hungover host in st paul is it these parties that you have in why aren't we invited why aren't we invited i like this i like
Starting point is 00:42:32 this question by the way i'm this is me all over i like to wake up early i don't care if i am hung over yeah i'll power through yeah you know you're actually if you're hungover you're more likely to wake up early um no you you clean you clean you don't worry about staying silent because nothing is better than like fucking tearing shit up and getting real raw and rowdy and then you wake up in the morning to a fucking sparkling lemon fresh house and if you can be the person that facilitates that you're gonna earn a lot of social capital among your friends i would i think they're asking like do i need to stay quiet so i don't worry about waking up my drunk no no no no if they can't sleep through it then they're not really hung over it's a catch 22 they must not
Starting point is 00:43:12 have been that tired the first place i feel like there's a certain amount of like unspoken social contract where it's like hey if you crash after we just have a wild party and trash is my house if you crash on my couch you help clean up the next day doesn't it seem a little passive aggressive though to awaken to the party host like oh no no stay comfortable no they're like running a dust buster over your dusty crummy cleaning up your self mess you don't please you did throw up on my dad but no please state you look so cozy like a snug bug in a rug the bigger tactical error that you've made here is if you have a party where everybody's drinking is at your house the only best thing that you can do is you have to you have to clean up
Starting point is 00:43:58 while you're drunk because you will not it is like it's like walking you know walking when you're drunk is like teleporting you think to yourself i'm going to go to this place and then the next thought you have is hey i'm at this place that was amazing that's what cleaning when you're drunk is like because you don't the time does not grate on you you don't feel it you're just like in manual you know you're in you're an autopilot why is the coffee table in the front yard shut shut up shut up i cleaned it clean the floor was dirty all over it and so i clean i there's more room now has anyone seen the cat oh shit i cleaned it oh shit you tore the ceiling fan out of the ceiling yeah for a ceiling bocce ball cleaned it got in the way of ceiling bocce
Starting point is 00:44:47 if you're if you're genuinely worried about this just put a put a pan of bacon on you put a pan of bacon on nobody's gonna be upset about waking up because they didn't want to everyone's gonna wake up like fucking Wayne Brady in that Folgers commercial like fucking doing little twirls down the hall ready to roll i'm still bac one two one but i don't fucking care yeah hand me that palm all of let's get real let's go let's go mr clean on this bitch hey i barfed in the mop water is it it's probably cashed right it's probably not good to go anymore right you should probably swap that out listen i gotta go to the hospital and get a saline drip i am not gonna come back from this on my own do you think the fucking bacon the bacon council we're like a day away from publishing
Starting point is 00:45:35 that first commercial that was like the best part of waking up is bacon and then fucking Folgers heard they fucking spied on it and it was like we were gonna go with the second best thing because i mean that's where we fall in the hierarchy but let's scoop them is there bacon flavor coffee no but there yeah i'm sorry yes there is i'm sorry there's big ironic ironic small business owners there's at least one that was like fuck it put bacon in it i think if someone made me Folgers as opposed to the being the best part of waking up that would actually be the worst thing they could do for me to me because then like i have to drink it yeah i have to drink their Folgers and like you like to have fancy Brazilian shit right if your coffee comes in a tub bigger than your head
Starting point is 00:46:23 you probably are not eating having that gourmet stuff it's probably not the good stuff i didn't know that's what you do i didn't i didn't realize we've gotten so far above our range yeah jesus jesson it's not like instant but you know i don't think that's what we're working with but i you know jesson i'm down here in the real america drinking my blue collar just hard work in america from your from your ivory tower in west virginia you could you think you're above everyone god do you guys even grind your own whole bean coffee don't you yeah absolutely i do with a bird with a bird coffee grinder i grind exactly what i need that morning and i and i and i cook it that way you sound like a frenchman i do like a french roast that's my jam too oh but i get it from but i get it from
Starting point is 00:47:11 h e b which is like fucking do you get whole bean or you get ground i uh i i oscillate i switch it to sometimes sometimes i'm afraid i get pre chewed pizza yeah that's the same thing okay but whole bean coffee is weaker than pre ground that doesn't make any sense well okay you know you have to grind it this doesn't taste like anything sometimes i just eat spoonfuls of coffee just to wake up because i'm american what if you jerk off every morning and like before you do anything else you think that becomes the best part of what you're saying the best part of waking up is beating it the best in a cup the best part of waking up is full juice in your cup unless you jerk off every morning before you drink your full juice and also is somebody making bacon because
Starting point is 00:48:05 it could pretty much be number three hey brother so you and i have a bunch of people over to drink at my house and i wake up before them in the morning what am i allowed to do can i masturbate or do i have to say silence pause can i masturbate or cook bacon you cook the bacon the crackle of the bacon's fat provides it provides a smoke screen an audio smoke screen for you to jerk behind and then the jerking and forgetting that you're cooking the bacon provides a literal smoke screen because there's a grease fire in your house worth it though trust me no one is going to be upset if you wake them up from their hangover sleep because of a grease fire we gotta get out give me like 45 more seconds
Starting point is 00:48:47 yeah so yahoo die um you guys want a yahoo i do this yahoo is sent in by kaleb ostin thank you kaleb it's by yahoo answers user steve jansen who asks what song would you listen to on route to eliminate bin laden now i'm just being a little foolish granted i'm sure those seals were way too busy to be listening to music having said that i had to ask after hearing about obama coming out to the press dinner to hulk hogan's real american did that happen i don't remember that so what song would you kick bin laden's blank blank blank to i'm just glad that this person acknowledged their whimsy beforehand if it's not christmas shoes to get real you want to get rid of the world stop turning what are you even doing guys you listen to christmas shoes and you think
Starting point is 00:49:40 why did his mom have to be so sick on christmas and then you also then you make the leap to it was probably bin laden's fault and then it's a it's a christmas shoes vengeance case because you put on your your christmas shoes to put a boot in his ass i would listen to the theme from night court he would not see that coming um yeah it's got to be the theme to like growing pains or something like that it's got to be that smile again well i need something to like remind me of what's so great about america and there's nothing greater than the fact that alan thick wrote a theme song for his own television show now yes he is canadian i will give you that i will i will see that point to you i think i would compose my own song how would that go
Starting point is 00:50:30 trap i think just i don't know because i would have to be inspired by the moment but i'm saying as i take i assume a chopper of some kind sitting in a chopper with my best friends on a mission from a god my best friend is really a gun he's always been there for me is jump by van halen a little gauche i feel like if i if i was bumping that so loud through my maximum fun earbuds that i got through the max fun drive and like my compatriots heard it they would look at me like come on man have a little respect for the guy no i think the appropriate song is no deity by black street what song are you guys most embarrassed that you psyched up on an ironically pumped by what that would be gold transient by kasha and ironically i said
Starting point is 00:51:28 yeah completely on ironically i'm a huge kasha fan does that get you like pumped though yeah i fucking get it's the fucking jam okay so that gets you and it's all about america like she references fucking like linard skinner didn't shit in there like magic carpet ride i really like um about harlem shake song except i like everything before that drop i like everything like the build up is so great and the drop i feel like kind of lets me down a little bit i usually just stop those videos right there i really don't get that i don't get it i don't get it it's more fun to stop it before it gets the drop and just pretend like it's a person only i can see yeah and no one else in the room is aware of that person's presence sometimes i'll listen to the streak
Starting point is 00:52:15 just get pumped up while you're killing us all a bit modern yeah that's like that's like my that's what gives me a murder boner if you're gonna listen i mean if you're gonna listen to uh uh what's that motherfucker's name racy evens if you're gonna listen to a racy even song about why you're killing osama bin laden yeah why would you not listen to i know osama yo mama i know it's the obvious it's the obvious choice i i don't know i tell you what i wouldn't listen to is the soundtrack to zero dark 30 snooze fest where's the fucking where's the right where's the trip you know what i mean you want like one and like even if it's just one tune like as soon as when they tried to time for true shred as soon as andy dweyer puts two in his chest i want it to be like fucking got him for
Starting point is 00:53:04 freedom and like that's the only part of that movie where something like that happens especially if it was just that just a musical sting so motion as he fell to the floor like take that for 9 11 you dick and then that's the that's cut to black don't i think i'm nominated for best song don't look ethyl they call him the streak but don't get tarzan bugety bugety osama got run over by reindeer you would have to change the ending of that movie for that song to work there because it's christmas is when it happened god wouldn't that be the best christmas present of all is that the world's greatest evil perpetrator god this takes care of what if they called that
