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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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?
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
$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
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
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.
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
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.
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. Go to ExtremeRestraints.com and use the coupon code SEXABunga

shit. We really, really appreciate it. I'm Cameron Esposito and I'm the host of Maximum Fund's new
podcast, Wham Bam Pow, a sci-fi movie show and action movies. Also, did I forget to say action
movies? Every week I'll be joined by Mr. Ricky Pomona and Ms. Rhea Butcher and we are going to
chat about films. We're going to tell jokes. We're going to be hilarious. We're going to play games.
We're going to have guests. We're going to give reviews. It's going to blow your mind. If you
want to listen to the show, you can find it at Maximumfund.org or you can subscribe on iTunes.
Can you believe how many things I just listed? So many things.
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
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,
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Hey, listen, everybody, thank you so much for listening to our program.
We hope you enjoyed it.

And you could be in the money zone and we'll talk about your shit.
Seriously, everybody, thank you for the warm response to the clip show we did last week.
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.
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.
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.
His brothers-in-arms and sisters-in-arms.
If you will, some games and cool stuff.
This is the last week to donate.
We really want to make a big push, big showing.
Huge thanks to James Bromwell, who's going to ship out a GameCube and controllers to the guys.
They were very much wanting some retro stuff, so we're getting that in their hands.
We've got $380 raised right now from 12 contributors.
I know we can do better than that.
I'd love if we could just like really blow it out.
Let's blow it out.
And really show some support.
If you've been waiting this is the time.
Go to OperationSupplyDrop.com, look for Modern Era.
There's a button on the front page and donate to that so we can help those guys out.
They're fighting for your fucking freedoms.
I don't want to guilt you, but they're fighting for your fucking freedom.
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
controllers to Smash Brothers too.
So we're going to be hooking those dudes up and you can help out.
OperationSupplyDrop.com go there right now.
This is your last chance and and help.
It's very easy and it's awesome.
So I want to thank John Rodrick and the Long Winters for the use of our theme song,
which is the song.
It's a departure, which is off the album, putting the days to bed.
Go buy it, buy it on Amazon, then buy it on iTunes.
And then erase it and then buy it again.
Yeah, just keep keep doing that like every week.
And that's your Hail Mary for the week.
Thank you so much, Griffin.
I believe you have a last question for us.
