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? Welcome my brother. My brother mean advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy. I'm your minimalist brother Travis McElroy. I'm your baby brother Griffin McElroy. Boy, the excitement is palpable. It's Sunday morning. We're just two and a half hours from learning the identity of the new Doctor Who. Do you know what this is? I know
Starting point is 00:01:06 how to equate this for people who don't watch Doctor Who. This is like nerd draft. Yeah, but it's not really anything like what you just said. It's like nerd primaries. It's like here's the thing though. The one thing I wanted to say is that I like my chances. Yeah, I mean have you been? What step are you currently in in the casting process, Justin? Well, I'm telling anyone who listened that I like my chances and that's how rumors get started. And you know what? Confidence is so key in this game. It's so key. And you took out a full page ad in that one British newspaper that just said for your consideration. For your consideration wearing a very long scarf. Just a Doctor Me? Question mark. Doctor Who? Me? Maybe. It's up to you. Do it, Britain.
Starting point is 00:02:00 How about it? I had an unconventional thing where like, you know how like I wore the scarf that Tom Baker wore and I had like the coat that David Tennant wore and then I also had the coat that all the doctors have worn and I wore them all on top of each other. You were wearing a fez. Like you sat down with the writers and you're like, guys, cast me. I have a great idea. I'm like the mash-up guy where like I travel through time and I got all my garments. So I'm really all the doctors in one. And then if you take away all my coats then I'm just, I'm just not real, not a real doctor. Who would you guys like to see as the new, who's your ideal doctor? Oh God. That's so tough. What's David Tennant doing? So he's, he's otherwise occupied. I think it'll
Starting point is 00:02:54 be a ball, it'll be a real baller move for them to just be like, he is the 13th Doctor. What, what event, what, it does look like him. It was David Tennant, but he's like, hey you always talk like this. What do you mean? I look like you all the way. Good ball, Balonzi. For me, it's a toss up between, because like it seems to oscillate between like sort of the austere doctor and the like playful fun doctor. So for me, it's really between Jeff Goldblum or Zachary Ty Bryant. I would love to see ZTV get back in the mix. It can go, because like his would be like a fresh fun, like when people, when they cast Matt Smith, they were like, this is going to be a fresh fun doctor and they were right. He was fresh and fun. But if they want to go a different route, something
Starting point is 00:03:42 a little more, a more, something a little more dignified, something with more pauses in his, in his speech, you know, with the bloom. You ride the bloom. But if you want to keep it even fun, so you're saying if they need a 180 from Matt Smith to someone who's even more fun and even more fresh, you turn to Zachary Ty Bryant. You turn to Zachary Ty Bryant because really it's his fucking time to shine. What if you got an actor who already had experience as a doctor and you got George Clooney? Uh, he was Gray's Batman. He was Gray's Batman. Batman Doctor, basically the same person. You're noticed how you don't see the doctor and Batman in the same room at the same time. Uh, my fan fiction. Uh, I, who's the guy that people are floating
Starting point is 00:04:32 right now? The real guy? Uh, Peter Capaldi. Peter McNichol. Peter McNichol. From the hit show, Allie McBeal and, uh, Slave to Vigo. Um, they haven't, they haven't had a doctor with, uh, with a forehead that's really like a seven or eight head. You know what I mean? Yeah. They haven't put the slap of a dignified forehead on that doctor and then the ones in space time. We've, we've given enough advice to the people at BBC. We should help some actual people. This is still an advice program after all. I mean, we're crying out loud. All those side notes. If you want a three head of doctor, we, we will all play it together. I'm like in a great chorus. How about that art? Put it on our Facebook. All right. Send you a
Starting point is 00:05:17 dollar. Can we put the dancing baby as the doctor from Allie McBeal? I love that guy. Oogachaga, right? Where is he? Where has he been? He's now a dancing middle-aged man. Oh, that's, he would thaw anyone. Like what are you going to do to a baby in a long scarf and 11 coats that's just dancing? Do you want a jelly baby? How about a dancing baby? What about Johnny Depp? Cause he's got like, he's got a pretty distinct style. You know what I mean? Like he's already got all the scarves. He's already got, he wears many coats. Thank you so much for having me, considering me. I really appreciate the role. Would like it to be more of like a, like a racist caricature. What can we, I was thinking, what if the doctor was like, yo man, yo.
Starting point is 00:06:05 How would that go? What if he said, I saw, get in my tardies. Like that. What do you think? I think it would be really a fresh take. It's about, it's about time for these, for these races to be represented in our culture. Let's tear down these walls. I really think that I am the, the vehicle. I'm the crucible through which these races will be presented. I think I could play Samoan. Am I right you guys? Just a big fat doctor. Think about it. Big fat Samoan doctor. That's racist. Think about it. That you think all Samoans are overweight. I don't think that, but that's what Johnny Depp thinks. He's a racist in this. Cause doctor, who's a racist? So it's a great fit. Remember that old bit? No gag. Classic. About Dr. Who being a giant racist. Oh man. Classic. Dig it out of the archives.
Starting point is 00:06:52 We already did one clip show. We can't keep fucking reviving them past and. No, we haven't done like a, a flashback clip show though, where it's like. Oh shit. That's right. You guys heard that time. Dude, what did everybody think of the clip show? I didn't see the reaction. Nobody, nobody liked it. Nobody liked it. All right. Well, good, good to know. Let's do a new one then. Recently my teenage sister has begun to claim that she is gluten sensitive. She says she gets diarrhea whenever consuming these products. This has resulted in a lot of inconvenience as we now have to screen every restaurant's gluten free options to see if we can eat there or not.
Starting point is 00:07:25 She's the only one in our family with any food allergy. However, she will often eat doughnut spreads and other snack foods or even whole dinners, which do contain gluten with apparently few side effects. And when we remind her of this, she says she doesn't care because she wants it. Am I right in calling her out in these situations or should I just keep quiet and let her deal with her own side effects? If any, that's from gluten trouble in green Texas. Ooh, that's a tough one. No, it's not. Fuck that noise. When she starts eating too many doughnuts, you stand up, you point out and yell, you're a gluten. Well, no, you say, I had, I had four fucking peanuts for dinner last night because we went to a nice restaurant
Starting point is 00:08:03 that, that, that catered to your, to your delicate constitution. But and now you're over here slamming super doughnuts. That doesn't seem fair. Am I misreading the question? No, you're absolutely correct. I think, okay, let me first and foremost state that there are people in this world that are gluten sensitive and have gluten allergies and this is a real thing. That said, I think that this is one of those things that especially younger people and it's going to become like a fad thing where people go, yeah, I'm also gluten sensitive because I put on weight when I eat a lot of bread or, you know, I get a tummy ache when I eat too many doughnuts. And it's just people trying to be cool and have something special about them that they're not
Starting point is 00:08:45 unless they really do at which point I feel for you. That shit's, that shit's no joke. Yeah, you get, when you get that, what is it fucking the bone you get like sea alice? That's not what it is. I don't think it's the sea alice boner pills. Yes. Yeah. I don't think that's what you get. I don't think that's what you get if you don't, if you eat too much like bread and pasta. No, I think that that's, although I've gone to this, I've gone to the spaghetti factory before and have food that was so good that it chubbed, chubbed me. I think that, I think that she can have it one of two ways. Either she can stick to her fake gluten story or you can start flipping this on her. And when she complains about going to a restaurant that doesn't have good gluten-free options, you say,
Starting point is 00:09:29 well, I want it. I thought that went in this family. If she has sea alice, then like, she wouldn't be eating doughnuts and be like, oh, I'm so bad, special treat for me. She'd be like, ah, my bones don't work. I would say it's, in all probability, it's an attention-getting thing where she's like, well, we need to go to the restaurant I want to go to because of my gluten sensitivity. Maybe she just loves steak. She just fucking loves it and she'll only go to a place to have that. Listen guys, I'm sorry, we're going to have to go to Sizzler again. I don't want to go to breadborne. Yeah, I don't think, I don't. Sizzler has wonderful gluten-free options, by the way. I don't think, is gluten sensitive the right term? Because this makes you sound like some sort of,
Starting point is 00:10:12 some sort of psychic, some sort of expert. I feel the gluten pain. There's some sour dough nearby. Wait, do you hear that? I can feel it in my sea alice bones. Put both your hands behind your back. Put a scode in one of them. Okay. It's left. This fall from NBC. There's bread nearby. Get out of here. Bread Hunter. Seven Eastern, Six Central, sea alice sisters. Friday nights at eleven twenty. Jeff Goldblum is the gluten hunter. A 10 minute PSA disguises the television show produced by Jeff Goldblum. Just like you used to watch in high school about basically any topic. I don't think that anybody's gluten sensitive. If that was a real thing, I'd know, of course people are, but I wish I was. That's what I wanted to say. Is it basically carbs?
Starting point is 00:11:12 Is gluten solely in bread? So here's the thing about it though. This is where they, you think like, oh that would be great because I could stop eating bread, maybe lose a few of these LBs, but then oops, twist, beer. Yeah. That's, it's anything derived from wheat, I guess. So beer's out. I think gluten, I've learned from watching out in brown that gluten is like the bonds that form with like wheat and stuff and bread and stuff with the sugars. You turn to my brother, my brother, me for one thing and that's nutritional. That's how you get that fucking sea alice disease is that gluten gets inside your bones and it's like, oh you want me to, do you want me to stick these bones together? And it's like, no gluten. Gluten, I want you to be digested and I want you to turn
Starting point is 00:11:55 into energy for my body that I can use to play sports. Okay, so I'll just stick them together. Let me just get your hip and your fibia and oops, I fucked up. Sorry, I'll do better next time. You won't gluten. Hey, I made you have diarrhea. Sorry, I hit a button or something. I was carrying this tray and I bumped it with my hip. That was my bad, you guys. I hope you like that donut earlier because I'm really taking you to do Geese out. Let me just get absorbed in your colon and oops, nope. I did it best. Sorry guys. Try our best. Ah, gluten. Gluten, it's so dumb. Griffin, how about Yahoo? Yeah, I got some Yahoo's. Thanks everybody for sending in Yahoo's. I had two weeks worth to choose from, which is always very exciting. This Yahoo was sent in by
Starting point is 00:12:45 Meredith Mahan. Thanks Meredith. It's by Yahoo Answers User. Question mark. By the way, you guys know that when a Yahoo Answers User name is question mark, that means they've been kicked off of the Yahoo Answers service, but their questions are made. Somebody told me that. That seems crazy to me. Like why wouldn't they delete the questions too? Well, the wisdom is still permeating the system. Yeah, I like to think of this as like their tombstone. The Yahoo Answers epitaph. Ever since I've done yoga, ladies started to really feel attracted around me like a magnet. Yeah. Does yoga release a lot of pheromones or something? Because females keep staring at me and touch me as well. Also come close. Is that at the end? I don't know if that's a
Starting point is 00:13:32 correct command. There's one other thing. It's that it opens your genital chakras. I mean, I mean, okay. All right. Let's, is there, we've already debunked gluten. Right. That's not real. Gluten doesn't exist. Gluten doesn't exist unless it does if you have Cialis. Can we talk like, is there some shit to this? Like can you get like... Travis, you've done, you strike me as the only person of the three of us that has ever actually done yoga. I mean, I did bullshit theater yoga. I've done some yoga in my time. I got a morning routine, helps me wake up. You do that sun salute? I do that sun salute to the down face dog. Love it. Name two, name two more. Upper facing baby. Bendo. Bendoes. Stork presses.
Starting point is 00:14:25 The windmill swing. The life of pie. Jedi attack. Dragon squeeze. You do that pomegranate slider. Wolf yips. Jamba juice. Pinkberry. Jamba Jovey. That's just some of my yoga moves. I, I, I mean, if, I played street fighter too, if yoga could teach you to spit fire at people. Sure. Shoot your leg across the battlefield. Shoot your leg across there. I don't see why. God, we are making some gross racial misrepresentation. I didn't do it. Street fighter and David Tennant did. Or sorry, Johnny Depp. No, David Tennant's pretty racist too. Slander, slander, slander. I, I think there's probably some shit to this. I think if you, I think, I think, okay. Meditation probably has some sort of,
Starting point is 00:15:17 I mean, it definitely has some sort of psychological centering effect on you that, that I think makes your, your brain game a little healthier. I think we can all, I think we can all sort of just acknowledge that face value fact. That's why Buddhist monks laid on 24 seven. Yeah. Oh, I think, I think there's some shit to this. I don't know about like the, you know, third eye and shit like that, but I think it probably does make you like more confident, makes, it certainly makes you limberer and But he did it once. There's no throw out in this question. The question I asked her did yoga once. I mean, he doesn't, I mean, he did, he phrased it as I've done yoga. So that does kind of make it sound like a last, he's completed yoga. He solved it last Saturday. There was a free class
Starting point is 00:16:05 at the JC. This is interesting because we had a question from a yoga guy who, everyone he dated thought he would be like really spiritual and stuff, right? And, and, and centered all the time. And he's not cause he's like just a dude that like watches ninja warrior at night and like eats slim gyms and jerks off. Like he's just like every other dude in that, in that those are the three things. Every other guy. There's something in his aura from doing yoga that is attracting people to him that they're led to that. I think maybe we just like anybody that'll take the time to stretch. Maybe that's it. Like if you, you, oh man. Like a man who doesn't pull his hammies. You like, you took the time to really stretch and I didn't do that and I've never done
Starting point is 00:16:54 that. So I am envious of you. Yeah. I respect you. I think there's probably some sort of, I think there are these power centers inside of our body. Now stick with me. I meant, no, I'm into it. Go on There are power centers inside our body. From which we project our, our auras if that's what you want to call it. Or stairbare stairs if you will. And when, yeah, if you want to think about it that way. And then when you align that shit, like, like the planets, then your shik it's like way more powerful and people can read that shit and will want to fuck you. I actually read about that in Malcolm Gladwell's The Outliers. He said that exact paragraph. They're just crimping. You know, is there, let me hit you with this other thing that I have for you. This is another
Starting point is 00:17:46 observation. A lot of times when you're trying to get to the bottom of something that scientifically you got to look at X factors. What are the, what are the qualifying things that might also be causing a reaction? So you can separate causation. Do you maybe have some really cool pants you wear while yoga? Do they have like, maybe a sweet dragon on them? Or they say like, or an enumerated list of things that make you an attractive sexual partner? Yeah, like, like you put on the pants and up one leg, it says like number one, cool dick. Number two, I can have sex for a super long time without stopping. Number three, I don't sweat very much. Is it possible that this person was just like perfectly balanced at unattractive and attractive? And then they did yoga and it was
Starting point is 00:18:38 just like the feather on the scale. They just tipped it over into attractive. But you're saying that as if, as if like every, every member of the opposite sex, it thinks of like people doing yoga is like, oh, that's, yeah, I want that. No, he goes even deeper because unless he's advertising it, unless he's walking to the bar going, by the way, ladies, yoga guy right here, then just that the ladies can sense it. I think if anyone ever did that thing that you just said, it would clear the, clear the room, I think probably. Hey, yoga man, right. Hey, no big deal, guys, but yoga man right here. Hey, you ever been with a genuine yoga man? The party can start right now, folks. I'm not selling you snake oil, although I will rub snake
Starting point is 00:19:25 oil essentially on your body while we yoga together. Sexually. It's better than yogurt, man. That's when I tried to get going for a while. That did not pan out. Sometimes I just walk in and say, good humor, man. And people are like, ooh, and I'm like, no, I just tell jokes. Yeah, who answers these are Maria responded and said girls like when guys do yoga because there's lots of yoga moves that can be incorporated into sex and lead to a massive orgasm. Two things. Two points of two points of order, if I may. Go on. I don't think. Are they talking about the massive orgasm for the partner or for the person doing the yoga? Because I don't think any, I don't think that quote, massive orgasm in quote is something that the other
Starting point is 00:20:12 person is ever looking for that person to have like, oh man. Here comes a bucket. Did you see the dragon? Second. Oh my God, was that a Chamba Jovey? That would be an unconventional pickup line. Like, hey girl, tonight I would like to have a massive orgasm and I would very much like your attendance to my orgasm. I would like you to be there. I need a witness. I need a second. If there are some things I would like to incorporate into our love making. I need a spotter for the massive orgasm I'm going to have. Just give me some orange juice afterwards and make sure I'm in the safe place. Some orange juice and cracker. It'll be very, very much like after giving blood. That is how drained I will be. Hey, listen girl,
Starting point is 00:21:09 if you see me start to shake around, you just put a wooden spoon in my mouth and just try to say back. This is going to be a massive orgasm. I'll give you a list of my emergency contacts so if you need to call my parents or something. Secondly, I don't think people actually look at people doing yoga and try and figure out how the geometry of the shape of their bodies in those positions would align with a sexual, like when I see somebody with their legs bent behind them and their elbows bent behind them and they are sticking their pelvis directly in the air forming a circle with their bodies. I don't look at that and immediately think that would be cool to have sex with. I think trying to have sex with that is like when you go to the beach and your beach
Starting point is 00:21:54 towel keeps crumbling up beneath you and you try to flatten it out so you can get a good sit going, but it's uncooperative. You know what I mean? No. You mean it's like going to a pool and you can't figure out the chairs and how they collapse? That's exactly what, thank you. That's a way, way, way better metaphor. Do you think that there is one yoga pose, like you could pair them off so that for every yoga pose there's a corresponding pose, another one that would have perfect sex with it? Like a complimentary, like if you do downward facing dog and upward facing cat. Then you get outward facing orgasm everywhere. Gross. I'm going to have to move again. What if you were in a yoga class and your instructor said,
Starting point is 00:22:44 now I've been working on this position for a while. It's going to be really cool. And then he like, he folds himself up and transforms into a car and drives away. He doesn't need to eat hot food. He just does it. He's just like that. That's the noise. Okay, I got another question. I'm a guy. Okay. Whenever I see, sorry, I'm a guy. And whenever I see friends who I've not spoken to in a while, I don't have any good catching up questions. I feel like maybe this is a guy thing, since girls seem to have long and excited conversations when they see someone for the first time in some time. But I just go straight back to normal conversation as if we hadn't had time away from each other. Is that normal? How do you guys catch
Starting point is 00:23:29 up with friends? How have you been doing? Doesn't demand anything other than fine, thanks in response. And then the other questions I think of are too vague to generate anything worthwhile. I'm still in school, which I'm guessing is pretty relevant. It's extremely, extremely completely relevant. It is totally, super, super germane Jackson to this conversation. The thing I remember most about going to school in Oklahoma is every time I would return home to West Virginia, there were two different classifications of people. There was one classification that were my actual real life friends that would be like, Oh, hey, and then we would just hang out like I hadn't been gone for four months. And then there were people that without fail asked the
Starting point is 00:24:11 question, so how's Oklahoma? Yep. Which my response was always hot and flat. It's very windy. Thank you very much. I think that you bring up the role of gender in this. And I don't think it plays a part. No, I think it I think it does to an extent, but not to not in the way that you think of it. I think that everybody reaches an age where they sort of circle back around and say, Man, I have not kept in very good touch with my friends. I need to like make a more concerted effort to stay involved in their lives because it's uncomfortable when I do see them and like have no fucking idea like what they're up to. I think that women do reach that point a bit earlier than dudes do. Like I think like in most aspects of life, like
Starting point is 00:25:02 women mature a bit faster in that sense where they're like, I don't know, a few years before dudes, they have the realization of like, Oh man, I need to I need to get on the phone more and like talk to my friends. This will surprise no one. But I'm I'm just abysmal at this. I mean, just the absolute worst. Because here's my fear. I mean, and I think it's legitimate. My fear is that I will I'll ask someone the question of the thing that they absolutely don't want to talk. Like, so how's your girlfriend? Oh, we broke up. Like, yeah, exactly. How's your family dead? That's Falcone. My whole family's dead. Pray to me. Yes, I think that the act of catching up is one that requires you to debase yourself on a level. It is it is that's exactly
Starting point is 00:25:57 what it is, Griffin. It is laying yourself at their altar. And I am so sorry. This is my admission. I have no shit. I have no clue. I have no idea. I am a fucking it really does require you to say like, I'm a fucking terrible friend, because I didn't know that like, you dumped this person two years ago, started dating someone else, you're married, and you have five kids. Like, I fucked up. That's all. Here's the here's the other side of that coin, though. When that happens to me, like if I say like, so how's how's things, you know, how's what's her face or whatever. And then they say, oh, you know, we broke up. If they handle it well, if they're like, oh, you know, we broke up a while ago, I'm actually seeing someone new, she's great, right? And it's
Starting point is 00:26:35 like, okay, cool. This is the type of person I want to catch up with again the next time I see them. If they're like, you dick, we broke up and it's been real rough. In my head, I mark out their names on a giant list. Next time, no eye contact. Yep, gave it a shot. But that one's done. You blew it. The funny thing about this is, and I think it's time to be, if I'm being honest, I think when we're on the reverse side of the situation, there is a part of all of us that says, man, I hope they ask about that one thing because I'm going to fucking drop the bomb on this wall. Please, please, please. I'm going to win this catching up. You're saying that there's, you're saying there's an inherent joy associated with like fucking shaming somebody to be like
Starting point is 00:27:19 dropping the bomb on them. Oh, I haven't been doing that for like four years. What the fuck? What are you talking about? Here's the thing though. I think that, I get psyched after those conversations happen. If it's somebody that I genuinely want to reconnect with them, I'm like, you have to get curious about what those people have been up to. You have to want to genuinely catch up and not be making small talk because after I do that, after I catch up with an old friend, which I've been doing a lot of, especially with getting married, I've been sending out invitations to people that I don't talk to other than once a year where we have a very superficial catch up time, I get fucking psyched. It's like catching up on a TV show that everybody's
Starting point is 00:28:15 talking about. It's like, oh, I'm right there with you now and now we can talk on the reg because I am up to date with the latest and greatest of your shit. The girlfriend makes a great point and it's sort of central to this, I think, is that the secret to it is you have to be, if you're having a hard time coming up with a question for a person, you maybe need to reevaluate getting interested in that person, getting interested in people. We've talked about it a lot and it's kind of like an old Dale Carnegie thing, but that's how you make friends and keep them as you get interested in people. But if you can't think of anything you're curious about, then that may be a sign that you maybe need to reevaluate your approach
Starting point is 00:29:04 because you should be curious. If you care about somebody even a little bit, then you should kind of be curious about what's going on. But I would say that I think that there is a certain amount of that. Hey, how's it going? Haven't seen you in a while. Oh, it's going great. There's a reason that everybody does that because that's the agreed upon exchange between two people that aren't actually close but haven't seen each other in a while and it's letting go of the shame of being like, oh, I don't care about this person. They don't care about you. If you're going to dinner with 13 old friends for an hour, that's not the venue to be like, tell me everything that's happened to you. We lost touch in college. Tell me everything that's happened to you. You
Starting point is 00:29:44 have to put in the time to call them and just swallow. Because here's the thing, they obviously haven't kept in touch with you either. If they're genuinely interested in what you've been up to, then there's no downside to swallowing your pride and admitting like, I haven't kept up with your shit. Let's reconnect now and then hopefully if we do a better job of staying in touch, we never have to have this conversation ever again. Start walking with them before you just start running. Ask the little questions first and then get into the big shit. Or start running. They'll never catch you because they will not see it coming. Just start running. I've got friends that I went to college with and there are some people that I see randomly running into what
Starting point is 00:30:29 I'm in a different city and it's like, oh, hey, what's up? How's it going? And then I have some, my friend Trevor, I hadn't seen in like five years and we just instantly dropped into a conversation like we were hung out the day before. It's just knowing how to interact with different friends is kind of, it's a case by case basis, but just care. Be friends. Just care. That's all you have to do is care or our hide better. There's a part of me whenever I get into conversations like that, it's kicking myself like I should have gone, should have gone behind the winter coats. They would have left the house. They should have never, they would have never seen you there. That's a grim window in my psyche. That's the new name of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:31:16 I once ripped my little brother's foil Charizard Pokemon card in a fit of teenage rage. It has been 12 years and my brother still has not forgiven me. He said the card was for $50 and I've provided him with money quite a few times over the years, but he still brings up that Pokemon card every chance he gets. How can I get him to forgive me or at least quit bringing it up? That's from Amber in Arizona. Oh, Amber. Well, let me ask you this, like Griffin, for example, how would you make it up to someone if say you reformatted a PlayStation memory card and erased someone's Final Fantasy VII game when they were moments away from beating the game and they'd put like 100 hours into it. How would you make that up to someone? That's oddly specific.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And say they collected everyone's final weapons and final limit breaks and they were very, very close to beating the game and you reformatted the card. How would you make that up to them? I think setting them free from their Japanese role-playing game, Prison, that their mind had been in, their vulnerable teenage mind had been imprisoned in instead of going around and having sex with women and making friends and forging lifelong memories and friendships and going to the football game and tailgating and getting in trouble and staying out after curfew and doing all the shit from that Jack and Diane song. I think that that's a fucking reward in and of itself. So you're saying that the action itself was a kindness.
Starting point is 00:32:49 I'm saying you had a very serious addiction and I swooped in there like John Quinones. Maybe an option is to tell your brother that you realized that that card was an idol to him and now shall have no false idols above thy Lord God. So you were trying to save his immortal soul by destroying that card which he worshiped. Yeah, that's precisely it. Man, the ending of that game is so fucking good though. I fucking hate you so much. You know what? Man, I would still be angry too. That card is so rare. The kids in my middle school who had that card, it was like a fucking status symbol. It had nothing to do with the value. They wore it on a chain around their necks. It had nothing to do with the value of the card. It had to do with the triumph because you say it's
Starting point is 00:33:38 worth $50 but it's actually worth however much money he spent on Pokemon cards to get that card which was probably in the thousands. I think what you're gonna have to do is name your firstborn child Charizard. Charizard is on foil. I'm sorry. And then let your sister tear them in half. That's the wisdom of Solomon right there, Justin. Okay, I can make this very easy for you. It is not a problem. Go to eBay. I just did it for you. Type Charizard card and it's $30, okay? Just grab one for $30. You don't understand the difference. You get it. You throw it in his face and say they were square. Well, no. And then tear it in front of him again. Do it again. This is my card. You can tear it in half now if you want. There's a Pokemon Charizard first edition base set.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Shadowless card, graded PSA, eight, near mint, hollow. You can get that for $750 on eBay right now. One thing I do want to say about this listing is that 15 people are looking at it in an hour according to eBay which is a great short story in and of itself. There's 15 people are like, I'm gonna get you. I'm sorely tempted. I fucking cashed out way too soon. I fucking got out of this trade craft way too early, like a decade too early. You know, but Griffin, for every dude who got out of Pokemon's too early, there's a dude who's just, there's like 30 dudes who are just sitting on pogs, meaning like they're coming back. Here they come. This sweet wolverine slammer. It's gonna be worth something whenever it comes out. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I think I read a story on the examiner like a month or so ago about this family that spent like 50 Gs, like 50 large stacks on Beanie Babies and the headline was family regrets amount of money they spent on Beanie Babies since like, yeah, no shit dog. Like that's, that seems pretty, I don't think you need that in 18-point font. Like I think, I think that's pretty, I watched a little video, the company, the little documentary that accompanied that and the dad who was sort of the driving force had this t-shirt on that said bankrupted by Beanie's and I think that he probably got it when Beanie's were popular and he could wear it and other Beanie fans would be like, oh you, and now it's like literal, no, no, no, no, listen.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I've been literally bankrupted by Beanie's. I brought so much shame to my family. It seems almost accusing- We've been eating Beanie Babies women, eating the beans that are inside of them. It seems almost accusatory, does it? That like, you can't like fucking blame this on the banking bust, like somebody, all the banks sold me these predatory Beanie Baby futures, like no you dumb shit, like- The Beanie Baby bubble is busted. Yeah, I can't, I can't deal with Pokemon cards right now because I'm going to get the $750 one for Griffin for his birthday. What do you do with a $750 Pokemon card after you buy it? Tear it in half. And feel more powerful. Just because you can. It's me, it's Jay-Z. Come on over to the crib tonight. We're tearing in half.
Starting point is 00:36:47 $750 Pokemon card. Everybody that walks in gets to tear in half a rare Pokemon card. We're using some as coasters. We're eating some. I got a, I got a Holofoil Jigglypuff. I got from, from the launch of the first movie back in 2001. We're going to roll a J with it. It's going to taste fucking gross because I don't know what they put in Holofoil. I bet like nickel and shit. We're never going to afford these cards if we don't get rich. I want to tell you guys about my hot new podcast that I don't make, but I heard about. It's called Ninjas. But you are taking over. I'm taking it over. Check out Justin McRoy's Ninjas vs. Podcast on iTunes. And you can go head to ArcadeComedyTheater.com. This Ninjas vs. Podcast is a weekly comedy
Starting point is 00:37:43 debate show and they're performing their first ever live show at the Arcade Comedy Theater in Pittsburgh. Ninjas vs. Podcast consists of three friends, deliberating burning queries like Mumford and Sons vs. Sanford and Son, and which is better, great comedic timing or great comedic miming. This show is going to be August 15th, 9 p.m. You're going to have to pay five bucks and there's free beer. The admission is five dollars and there's free beer. Yes. So what this is is an ad from us to you for five dollar beer that you can drink. All you can drink. Well, they didn't say that. It could just be like a Dixie cup. You show up and they give you like a Dixie cup of a Pilsner. But that's either way, you're going to be laughing. Maybe that's why you can drink too. Maybe you've had
Starting point is 00:38:32 like gastric bypass. Maybe you have a gluten sensitivity. Become a fan beforehand, go to Ninjas vs. Podcast on iTunes and then when you're ready, head over to Arcade Comedy Theater to get some details on the show. Even if you don't like the show, five dollars all you can drink, you can listen to a podcast in the background when you get blasted. Well, why not? I mean, I don't think they appreciate us saying you can drown them out over the sounds of your own gulping. No, because then what you might find is, oh wait, I love this. You'll be too busy guzzling to laugh. That's a joke. No, I'm sure it's a joke. Speaking of guzzling. Speaking of guzzling. Oh God, worst whatever. Speaking of guzzling, extremishmace.com is your adult super store.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Oh, I don't want to guzzle up the savings. Yeah, I'm sure that's what it is. Yeah, that's what you meant Travis. extremishmace.com is my favorite website for adult toys. I personally want to recommend this to you. Here's what I wanted to feature this week, the oppressor chastity device. Now, what this does is it hurts your wiener, but here's the other thing. It can also hurt your butt with a little spherical ball that you, I think you sit on it and it can go in your butt and hold your wiener wherever you want to feel unpleasant. One word to you. One word to you, butt sphere. Good luck getting in there. Good luck. Have a good time trying, but I think you're going to find it pretty difficult. I tell you the item that I, now that I've received some
Starting point is 00:40:18 things from extremishmace.com as a paid spokesperson, I think the one thing that they need that they don't seem to sell, at least not that I've seen, is Secret Box, which is, these look great when they're on your wiener and in your butt, but they can't always be there. I need them to invest in secret horror compartments that no one can access and no one can know about. What if it was just camouflage things where it's like, this looks like a flower pot, but what's that? It's your anal beads. What if little Susie and little Tim Tim are searching around for Christmas presents and what did they find? The opposite of Christmas presents. Oh, what if it's just a box that says vegetables then? Vegetable taxes.
Starting point is 00:41:19 They sell a little box with a printed out piece of paper that says vegetable taxes. There's a thing is that they're in my house right now in my home where I live. There's a foot long plastic dick that's four inches around and I've hidden it as best I can, but let's say this, if anybody comes by my house and they need a tote bag, I hope they don't pick that one. Or what if there's a fire and later they're cleaning up all of the stuff, the wreckage, and they move, you know, a burned chair and boom, there's a big unburned dick. Oh, by the way, everything sold at Extreme Restraints is completely inflammable. They should make airplanes out of them, out of giant plastic dicks.

Can you believe how many things I just listed? So many things.
Starting point is 00:42:53 That's great. Hey guys, I'm feeling kind of rural right now. Good. Yeah. You know what that means. It's time for farm wisdom. Farm wisdom. Pick up your pitchwork and fork a pitch farm wisdom. Somebody accused you of stealing that shit. Did you see that? Somebody put you on blast on Twitter. What did I steal it from? One of those Perry Perry Ellis songs. No, who's the guy who did the baby monkey writing backwards on a page? Yeah, like all his songs sounded like that. But it's my song. I don't think he has one called Farm Wisdom. I mean, no, but like the melody music melody. You can't claim music and lyrics by Justin McRae on that anymore in the credits of the podcast. I've been meaning to put credits at the end of the podcast, but now
Starting point is 00:43:45 I'm not even going to start. Guys, did Travis, Travis, farm wisdom hit me. I'm ready. Did you know that farmers feed magnets to their cows in order to prevent or treat hardware disease? Holy shit. Hardware disease is just like it sounds. When a cow eats a piece of hardware, a nail, a screw, a piece of barbed wire and gets sick. When you feed the cows the magnet, it usually drops into the reticulum compartment of the stomach and attracts any metal the cow ate. When the stomach muscles contract to help move food around, loose metal can puncture through the stomach wall and travel to other areas of the body and have been found puncturing the heart. The magnet helps keep the metal safely in the stomach and that's from Jess. Okay, wait a minute,
Starting point is 00:44:26 stop. Farmers, that's a pretty smart idea. What's not so smart is calling that a disease. Guys, that's not a disease. They squat. How dumb are you farmers? I thought you guys were on point. Diseases are germs. That's not a disease. You swallowed a nail. You just call it hardware oopsie. When I get stabbed, I don't say I have knife items. I can't come in today. I've got a very, very bad case of knife. Griffin, you want to read this other one? I forget who actually always reads these. Is traps always read them? Oh, let Griffin read the second one. Mountain lions will chase down and murder anything that tries to run away from them.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Fuck. If you find yourself being stalked by one, stand your ground, maintain eye contact, make as much noise as possible, start masturbating very, very, very fast. Mountain lions hate masturbators. They are scared of it. Humans do it. Never turn your back, bend over, or crouch down in any circumstances. All this stuff about masturbation was fake. Sorry. Why? It's a fucking dominant. It's a fucking dominant. I see a mountain lion. Oh, that's from Jordan, by the way. Thanks, Jordan. I see a mountain lion and my reaction is to turn around and bend over. Is this what you want? Is this what you want, mountain lion?
Starting point is 00:45:54 You like the hiding? Good luck. Super fucking tight. I wasted like $20 on extremestrace.com trying to find something to go in there. I also, I feel like this is one of those pieces of advice that's like really great to hear. If I see a mountain lion, what's not going to go through my brain is now is the time to not run away. Now is the time to prove, you got something to prove to this cougar. I'm not going to make eye contact with that mountain lion and I'm not going to say anything. I'm going to be running and pooping my pants. No, what you're going to do, Travis, is you're going to start taking your dick out and you'll be like, wait, which was the real thing?
Starting point is 00:46:34 Ah, fuck. I just doomed Travis. Maybe. Maybe mountain lions really don't like it. Another hiker claimed by a mountain lion masturbation disease. You could probably, you could probably creep a mountain lion out pretty solidly that way. Hey, whoa, whoa. Oh, I didn't say stop. You guys want a yahoo? Yeah, please. This yahoo is sending by Ira Ray. Are you Ira Ray? Who wants to know? It's asked by yahoo. Mark. Another one. Another one claimed. Can a 27 year old sign up for high school again?
Starting point is 00:47:18 I want to see if I can go back to high school. I have a car and bigger muscles now. So I think I'll be more popular the second time around. And I've always wanted to be prompting. So what do I need to go back to high school? Is this bus marketing for 21 Jump Street? I'm getting, I'm getting my masters in high school. I'm getting my post grad in high school. What you need is a teaching certificate. And then you can go back as a teacher. I guess that's true. That's the only way you can go like that and then beat up all the people who are mean to you, I guess. There's no loophole where you can like, I recognize now at the age of 26 when I finished, unless I go back for some, some master's program, which doesn't seem likely.
Starting point is 00:48:02 I've done all the school I'm going to do. And it's only now that I realized like, man, I actually like learning. Like, fuck, I wish I'd paid attention to like anything. I feel that way too. Now I'm, now that I'm older, I'm like reading books to teach myself. I'm like trying to teach myself like complex subjects that are impossible to teach yourself. And I'm like, man, if only I had fucking like done anything, like any amount of work, instead of just like the requisite shit to get by. I think college should be something you get to do in installments, because that way you really appreciate it. Because as you get older, you want to learn. I like learning now. Back then,
Starting point is 00:48:40 I hated waking up more. I think that after like, when you complete your sophomore year, someone should sit you down and be like, are you appreciating this? And you're like, yeah, I'm not. I'm probably not. I'm like, okay, great, cool, cool, cool. Just go off for a while. And when you do appreciate this, we'll welcome you, welcome you back. But that's, but Travis, you can't put that, like that, if there's a definition of what adulthood is, it's realizing that you didn't appreciate stuff enough. Because that's that, because if you could figure out how to turn back time and do that easy stuff again, because like, let's be honest, going to college for all its ups and downs is a lot easier than having a job.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Yeah. So what if, what if we start giving jobs to 12 year olds, and then you work from 12 to 21, and then you get to go back to school? What if, but the only jobs that we give them are college professors. Here we are. Okay. I think your best bet is to procreate. And then you and your child get into a very loud and public fight in front of a gypsy and they freaky Friday. That's just one of many options you have. And then at the end of the movie, the gypsy is like, you learned your lessons, time to
Starting point is 00:49:55 switch you back. And it's like, actually, you know, I'm actually like, I'm like pretty cool, actually, as it is. That's the biggest lie. This is our second big Freaky Friday reference, though. I think we referenced it like 10 episodes ago, because I think that in reality, every adult wants to be fucking 16. That's the greatest lie of all, because if you're, if you're a kid again, it's like, whoa, okay, I'm going to go on the run now and let my teenager die in my old body. Fuck you, dad. Hey, do you like taxes, bitch?
Starting point is 00:50:27 Enjoy vegetables and or taxes. But don't look in the vegetable taxes box. That would be the only reason to switch back because you're afraid of your child, adult finding your vegetable taxes box. All right, Dad, son, it's time. It's April. I really need to e-file. Where are they at? Where's the documents? I'm still trying to learn about documents. Uh, don't do this. Don't go to a high school like you are as you are now as a man.
Starting point is 00:51:00 You won't, you won't be allowed in. They won't let you in like you are now. You're old and they'll know, they'll know that you, that you don't want to do great things. So don't even, I wouldn't even try. It probably seems like a good idea in the brain. But I'm pretty sure hindsight is going to be 20-20 on this particular thing that you want to do that's terrible. Especially when you're on 20-20. And they're like, what were you thinking? And you're like, you know, in hindsight, this grown man tried to wear a Justin Bieber t-shirt and go back to high school.
Starting point is 00:51:33 What would you do? Well, we, but fucking what if he went four years and he made a senior prom and he was in the running and then like two days before, like, I don't know, some, some kid lost his legs that it was also in the running, lost his legs in some sort of industrial accident. And this guy's like, fuck, like I spent four years for this day. And this is no one. This is the worst day of my life. And this little kid's going to fucking swoop in at the last second.
Starting point is 00:52:00 He probably won't be swooping. Like some sort of legless tar's hand. Son of a bitch. On the plus side, gotta do it again. Everyone's done all over in a different town. Plus side, I'm sick at times tables and my cursive is off the charts. It's fucking insane. They don't do cursive actually anymore.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I don't think in schools. Are they out of that? That's why no one writes checks anymore. Yeah. It's state by state actually, I think. That's no, that's no bullshit. I think it's state by state. I was terrible.
Starting point is 00:52:27 I got seat. Why did that have to drag down my, my GPA that I had a bad handwriting? Great. I don't think that that is, I don't think that factored in. It did. Justin is a mathematical genius, but he has some trouble with the cursive lowercase z. 2.2. I just don't think that because I was bad at math and writing and gym.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Oh man, was I, I get bad grades in gym. You were, when you say bad at gym, you mean you don't, you like weren't so psyched about like having your dick out around other kids, right? That's right. You were supposed to dress out every day and I didn't want to because I was fat. So what I did was I wore sweatpants to school every day. Cool. That was, that was, that was playing the short game.
Starting point is 00:53:09 So they call that, that was the short game I was playing. Hey, let's answer another question Friday. Ain't that fucked up that your GPA was dependent on your ability to get your dick out around other people? That's kind of fucked up, isn't it? Like, hey, hey, macro, I go take your dick out in a room for your peers. Though I will say that was the only thing that trained me for any real life situations in adulthood. Where you had to get your dick out.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I mean, it trained me in sense that like when I'm an adult now and somebody says, hey, macro, I take your dick out. I know now to say like, no, bad touch. No, no, thank you. I'm absolutely not. I don't think also I'm better at badminton. Yeah, that's true. My boyfriend and I wanted to know what is the socially acceptable age group for visiting a
Starting point is 00:53:48 petting zoo. We don't have any kids, but he really likes animals. They have reindeer. That's from Zany and Zaftig at the zoo. Don't reindeer give you a reindeer disease? No, they give you like their, their, their horns have, fuck, what's it called? When your skin falls off?
Starting point is 00:54:07 What? Leprosy. Leprosy, yeah, the Bible shit. Are you telling me reindeer have leprosy on their horns? They're just carriers? I don't think it's like an, I don't think it, like they're affected by it or else fucking every Christmas tale ever would be like a horrifying saw-esque experience. But yeah, I think they have, I think they give you leprosy if you like touch there.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Their antlers are coated in leprosy. So, okay, let's assume that the reindeer antlers have been de-leprosyed and try to answer the question. I don't think you can. I think it's like a natural excretion. I don't think when they're born, somebody comes, the fucking leprosy fairy gives them their only coating of leopard. Like, what kind of fucking sense does that make, idiot?
Starting point is 00:54:54 Are reindeer like moose in that every season, like their antlers fall off and regrow? I don't think that's real either. That's true with moose every year. That's why they have leprosy. It's what causes their shit to fall off. Oh, it makes their horns fall off. They're antlers, please. That's why reindeer are known as God's funniest joke.
Starting point is 00:55:16 These things are beautiful. I'm gonna put leprosy in them somewhere. You know that every animal- Good luck, Santa. You bet. Why does God hate Santa so much? He's trying to like take over. That's true.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Do you think every animal has a place where leprosy? Where's your leprosy compartment? Oh, God. Yeah, you can't. If it's a regular zoo, if it's a petting zoo inside of a regular zoo and like you're an adult there, I think it's okay because like parents will see you and be like, oh, they're being ironic. Here's the thing. I think that the answer is, as long as you are paired off,
Starting point is 00:55:59 there is no problem. If you are by yourself, that's a completely different case. Like because here's the thing. Okay, real life experience. Me by myself, like, you know, making faces of the baby, crease people out. I'm a grown man with a beard and I'm making faces of their children.
Starting point is 00:56:20 But if Teresa's standing next to me, it's adorable. Right, but isn't that true for literally any situation? Anytime you see a dude by himself anywhere, don't you just like instinctually like, oh, he's fucking creeping on someone. Yeah, but so that's what I'm saying. It's like as long as you're coupled out, you're safe. I think that's part of our fucking, I think it's part of the genetic human experience. I think that's why we seek out partners to like make it to life is so when people see us,
Starting point is 00:56:48 they're not instantly skis. Now, that's 100% true. If I, that's, we, we try to talk about, I think we try to tear down gender walls here on my brother and my brother and me. The one I can't help is that if I see a woman standing by herself, I think, well, she's probably working or waiting for someone or just relaxing. If I see a guy by himself, I immediately- Who's he trying to fuck?
Starting point is 00:57:10 Is he trying to fuck me? Ooh, I hope not. Is he trying to kill somebody or fuck somebody or steal something? Or yeah, I just assumed he's going to punch me. I don't know why, but like every time I see just like a random dude, I'm like, I'm going to get in a fight with that guy. Do you know why? Do you know why?
Starting point is 00:57:23 It's because that, like speaking from experience, like whenever I'm out somewhere alone, the only thing I'm thinking about is, man, I hope nobody thinks I'm going to fuck somebody or kill someone. And when you do that, you put on a grimace on your face that just like screams, like, here it comes, get ready. I think there is one circumstance in which being coupled out does not protect you from judgment. What's that?
Starting point is 00:57:44 And it is if you are at a children's playground, coupled out, no kids. Then that's an easy fix, though. That's no problem. Just don't be there. I was actually going to suggest this for the petting zoo. When you're at the petting zoo, every three minutes or so, just go, Dylan? And then look around. Don't put your fingers in its mouth, Dylan.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Just like you don't know where he is. Dylan, get back here. Don't do that if you're the only two people there, though, with the farmer. Or if there's like two parents and two kids and you're like, Dylan? And they're like, I can clearly see. If the law of large numbers is not in your favor, then don't. If that happens, you have to carry out the con and keep screaming, and just lose your mind and like call the police.
Starting point is 00:58:26 There's only one other family there with one kid. They're like, man, their kid is super lost. I haven't seen that kid in like the whole time I've been here. Fuck. How did you do? How did you fuck up this bad? I haven't seen another kid in like three hours. What have you been fucking doing?
Starting point is 00:58:46 Why have you not widened the perimeter of your search? Man, so we got super into this goat for like three hours. Oh, we fucked up so bad. What if our kid got leprosy so bad he just dissolved? Ah, fuck. Man. So we didn't find him this week. We'll have to come back next weekend and possibly the same time,
Starting point is 00:59:05 pet some more animals. Just hope for the best. Also, how much is that vending machine that gives you pellets you can feed this in? Which is the quarter? That's a really good deal. Do you have some kind of season pass so we can just keep coming back here unrestricted to look for our sweet Dylan? This is the last place he saw us.
Starting point is 00:59:20 He'll return here. We're so exhausted from looking for our Dylan for like three hours. We're just going to pet this goat for a bit. We're really stressed out. Do you guys have any like treats or anything you can give us? We're just really stressed. Don't you fucking judge us for giving up on the search so quickly. We're tired.
Starting point is 00:59:37 And these animals are soft. And these, let me just touch this goose for a second. I'm just going to touch it for a second. Can you get off? Sorry. I'm not mis-perfect. Sorry. You know where your kids are.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Okay. Dad of the year. What if this same family is there every time you're there every weekend? And they're like, yeah, yeah. After two years, like, yeah, fucking sure. There's a Dylan. And then on like year five, a preteen with a stubbly beard comes running out of the woods like, mom, dad.
Starting point is 01:00:09 I was in the bathroom. I was in the bathroom five years. Got a goat in there. I've been living off toilet paper. He taught me, taught me to breed. Not like raised by toilet paper. I mean, like he ate it. No, I meant like, there should go.
Starting point is 01:00:26 So you're saying he would become sort of like a Tarzan figure. But the only thing he'd be great at is peeing and watching people pee and not be seen watching people pee. This family would eventually put it together like, what if the bathroom monster is Dylan? Hey guys, have you been in the bathroom? Because there's like a totally crazy kid in there. How have you been here every weekend for five years
Starting point is 01:00:57 and you haven't gone to the bathroom? We go before the goats know. The goats know when you have to go and like, they don't like it. We should have checked the bathroom though. In retrospect, that was our fault. That was our fault. It's like the only building here. It's like the only building.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Now if you go skewer this, we have to try to re-doctinate our son in the society. Keep him out of the bathroom. Has anyone seen him? Has anyone seen him? Ah, shit, god damn it. We're going to restart the search, I guess. Let me just go over to the reindeer pen just for like two or three hours more.
Starting point is 01:01:32 But then that family catches you in the parking lot paying off the actor you've paid to live in a bathroom for five years and play Dylan. Wait a minute, still the goat's fishy going on. Yeah, I wondered what happened to Zachary Tye Bryant. He would make a great Doctor Who now that he's fucking feral. Now he's a feral bathroom monster.

I think people seem to enjoy it because a lot of that shit is apocryphal at this point. The good news is if we do another one, the sound quality will be better.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Man, seriously, how the fuck did anybody start listening? It sounded so, so awful. I'm glad you guys replaced the original Travis. I sound totally dead. I sound like a hundred times nerdier. I don't know what happened. We may do more of those, maybe. There's going to be a lot of traveling and wedding shit over the next few months, so.
Starting point is 01:03:33 I hope we don't because what started out as a clever plan to save myself from having to work on a new episode turned into like a 10-hour project where I was going through every old episode. Trying to find something not awful. Yeah, trying to find something worthwhile. So, thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I want to remind everybody that this is the last week to help out our buddy Tristan the Marine. We are working with Operation Supply Drop to bring him and his fellow soldiers.

Starting point is 01:05:06 There's another donation on there right now that's beating us by $75. And I just want to dominate. I want us to be the greatest, most generous podcast ever. Create an enormous divide in the military of like, I want those dudes to see what we did for Tristan and his pals and be like, fuck, like we should have backed that horse. We should have listened to that podcast. Oh, it looks like we got another one. DJ Lockhead from said on the Facebook that he was going to send them a GameCube and some
