Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Hello, welcome, my brother, my brother, me and advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middleest brother, Travis McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother, Griffin McElroy. And normally we would be a little uneasy right now because we didn't really prep what we were going to say at the beginning, but the good news is I
Starting point is 00:01:01 got the answer, baby. I kind of guessed it that because you were chuckling through, like, you're saying your name and I was like, oh, he thought of something. Oh, he's got something. He got that nudge. This is really, this is really good. You ready? Yeah. MTV, MTV Movie Awards were last night. Oh, how did they go, Justin? Didn't watch. Okay. So, but here's how I think they went. Okay. Okay. Big wins all around for some of Hollywood's heaviest hitters. Rebel Wilson was back. She's getting it done. I bet Adam Driver won for best villain, if I had to guess. And what are your favorite MTV Movie Awards specific categories? Not like your best actor, your best actor. I'm talking specifics. Okay. My favorite, if I had to make a list and it is,
Starting point is 00:01:52 let me say, so hard to choose. Okay. My favorite would be best actor who pretended to be short by putting shoes on their knees like Tim Conway and Dorian. Yeah. Which is, strangely, a heavily contested, like, you'd be amazed how many people love for that every year. Tom Hanks won that one. Tom Hanks won that one this week, year. For Bridge of Spies. You know, it's funny. I actually, I think that it should have an asterisk because, like, he actually had his legs cut off at the knees and shoes sewn to his knees and then afterwards had his legs sewn back on. And that's like, I don't think that should count. We can't all afford that surgery, Tom. Exactly. I know, I know you had to rule them out. I know you were on some method
Starting point is 00:02:36 shit playing little lawyer in Bridge of Spies, but it's not a fair and balanced field, is it? It's bullshit. I've always liked the best kiss category, and I want to say a big congratulations to Inside Out for that when all the emotions just had a big kissing party there at the end of Inside Out. I really liked that. And I do want to say I was really surprised by the winner of the best piss category, and that's a new one for 2016. And who won that one, Griffin? Also in Inside Out. Wow! Same scene. Because the emotions in that movie were joy, anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and then, like, that feeling you get when you have a pee that you've held in for a while, it feels so good. And that one was voiced by Martin Short, who
Starting point is 00:03:26 accepted the award last night on behalf of Pixar. And pissed on the entire front row. I thought his yellow tuckles is a nice touch. That's what you get expect from a true professional entertainer. I also really appreciated how he made sure to thank Pixar. He said Pixar, but he worked piss into it. I thought that was a nice touch, too. And then John Lassler was like, finally somebody gets it. Finally some recognition for my good waterworks. My other favorite category of the MTV Movie Awards is best dog humping someone's leg while someone else looks on like, yeah. That was Randy Quaid again, first performance at National Lamp in Christmas Vacation. That's like 20 years running. Yeah. 20 years running.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Yeah. Such a huge gift for him. So, so, so, so happy for him to come out of it. They did have to film it. He was kind of Skyped in from his cave, but he looked great. And he had a really nice tux that he had fashioned out of tar and leaves. Yeah. And I thought that was great. I was really psyched this year that he's gotten something like a lot, but for the award for Best Randy Quaid impersonator, I was psyched to see Randy Quaid finally get his, like, get gacked up there because, like, God knows he's worked for it for so long. And it's about time that somebody was like, Dandy, you're doing a fucking great job up there. And it was actually a little like Dave, because at a certain point people stopped being able to tell the difference between Randy Quaid
Starting point is 00:04:53 and Dandy Quaid. Actually, Dandy Quaid's been working a lot as Randy Quaid. Yeah. And his rate is higher. Like, that's the only you could get Randy Quaid cheaper. My favorite part of when Dandy Quaid was on stage is after he accepted the award, and you know, there's obviously some co-marketing going on here. Yeah. But he was like, and now that I got the award, let me give you all a little sneak peek of what's coming in 2017. And then there was like a 30 second teaser trailer where just very slowly from black emerged the word Dennis. Yeah. And he was like, that's how we're doing it. And there were fireworks and stuff shooting out. And Dennis Quaid stood up like, hell yeah. And I don't know why he was there. He doesn't understand. He's about,
Starting point is 00:05:35 his career is almost over. Because once Dandy Quaid is in the mix, like, you're different, you are defunct. You got assimilated. But you know, hold on Griffin, I hate to disagree with you, but I think that Capitalism- You love to disagree with me more than anything in the world is your favorite fucking thing in the world. I think that competition will breed a better Quaid. You know what I mean? I think maybe the problem is Dennis has been resting on those laurels for too long. He's been sitting around on his laurels and he's grown fat and happy. And now we need to get like, I can't think of a good pun name from Dennis, but it will happen. Dandy will definitely think of it. And then we're going to get a better breed of Quaid from the competition. It'll be the quadiest
Starting point is 00:06:15 Quaid. It's the Quaid arms race. It's like, yeah. So this is an advice show, as I'm sure you've guessed. And what we do on this show is take advice from people. Is it Menace Quaid? No, that's not it. I'll keep working on it. Listen, we've done this 297 times, believe it or not. And this is the 298th time we've done it. And we're going to do it at least 300 more times. So let's just get going. Wait, just a real quick fun fact. Fun Mbembe and McRoy family factoid. You can color this in on the back of your Cracker Barrel menu. Because did you know that there's a bonus Quaid? I did not know that. There's a real Quaid and he's a half brother to Dennis and Randy. Bonus Quaid is what I call
Starting point is 00:06:57 him. His real name is not much better. It's actually Buddy Quaid. And that's a true fact. That's a true fact. He's 41 years old. He lives in Houston, Texas. I could hop over there and say hi to Buddy Quaid. I bet he's not verified on Twitter either. Brothers, do you know what today is? Actually, what I thought everyone's going to point out. What's that? It's April 11th, 2016. Oh, shit. That means that today is the six year anniversary of my brother, my brother, me, which is what our intro is about. Can I just say? Can I just say six years? And we're almost at 300 episodes. That's a fucking good track record. Fans out there listening. That's a solid 50 episodes a year. Yeah. Yeah. That's a really great average. It's also important that I point out that
Starting point is 00:07:44 Randy Quaid has a sister named Brandy Quaid. That's also true. Yeah. There's a Brandy Quaid out there. Is there a Denise Quaid? No, that would be funny though. That would be funny. A Randy with an I. Okay. Listen, I live in a managed small apartment complex. We recently got some, I'm always nervous, joking about Randy Quaid because I'm worried. You know, oh yeah. Yeah. You say, Justin, Justin, Justin say no more. I think we all get it. I usually check the time between recording and publish and run some stats like, I don't know. I don't know. I live in and manage a small apartment complex. We recently got some new tenants downstairs. They seem like a lovely couple with little to no baggage. Well, yesterday I got a text from them asking if we could share our
Starting point is 00:08:32 Wi-Fi with them as they move in. They, you gave your number to them that quick. That seems a little wild. Well, they manage the apartment complex. So they're like the super manager thing. Thank you, Travis. They said they'd be willing to pay for their use of the bill until they get their own service. I trust they are on a husband and wife duo of hackers looking for some sweet ISP to siphon. But that doesn't mean I have to give up my Wi-Fi to just anybody, does it? Should I bite the bullet, be neighborly and give them access? Are they coveting their neighbor's Wi-Fi? That's from Gmail. This is unthinkable. This is completely unconscionable, unthinkable, and unforgivable. It's unforgivable that they've even asked for it. Because guess what? In 2016,
Starting point is 00:09:16 we live on the web now. I have two virtual reality helmets in my house. I have one and a half feet in the virtual world now. And I only have like two little toes is still in the meat space. I am for all intents and purposes, a virtual being, I've converted all my money over to Bitcoin, so the fucking tax man can't get his fucking grubby hands on it anymore. And you have just been like these people, essentially, if they asked me this, they'd be like, hey Griffin, can we have unfettered access to all your shit? Can we have unfettered access to your Bitcoin? Can we show up naked in your virtual danger room? We live in a world in which when I moved to LA for a month, I was able to power the Wi-Fi of my computer through the cell service of my phone.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Like this is Star Trek shit. Like I know, like this, they don't need to borrow a cup of sugar, like- They need to borrow a cup of your social security number, and also they're going to get deep into your fucking VR presence, and they're going to get in your face when you least expect it. And then if you die in virtual reality, you die in real life. That's true. The first thing I thought when I read this question is, do it, and then just change your password on your Wi-Fi. But that's the practical answer, and the real answer is, I would rather share my clothes with someone than I would my Wi-Fi. Imagine trying to imagine- Wait guys, guys, sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry. My Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Got it. Perfect. Imagine it's like, try to look in the future a little bit. You hear a knock the door, knock, knock, knock. They open it up. It's the hypercops arriving at the scene of the crime. Now, hypercops, cops, of course, in this case, is an acronym for Cyber Operatives Policing Cyberspace with an S, and they show up and they're like, so just to be clear here, just to be clear, Mr. Paulson, you're telling me that you gave them access to your Wi-Fi signal, and if a hypercop- Oh yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. Just one more question. One more question. How did you hack into the U.S. Treasury Department? You're culpable, and if you say you opened the gates to them, you are basically, they're typing with your hands,
Starting point is 00:11:32 basically, is what I'm saying. No cop is ever going to believe that you just gave someone access to your Wi-Fi and you weren't in on it. Why would you do that if you weren't also hacking the whitehouse.gov site? Is that where they keep all the secrets? That's where they keep the secrets. I think you can set up guest networks. Next question. Yeah, but even then, they're going to have to have probably the same ISP. I'm not going to risk anything because I'm pretty sure if somebody connects your Wi-Fi account, then I'm pretty sure they're just like five to six clicks away from being able to scope your zone through your webcam, definitely. That's probably true, and also two, three weeks tops. They got to go without Wi-Fi before they get that shit set up.
Starting point is 00:12:21 They have smartphones. It's 2016. If they're worried enough about Wi-Fi to contact, they're super about it, and ask if they can use yours. They have smartphones. Think about this from the other perspective, though. Imagine you're these tenants, and you ask your landlord if you could use their Wi-Fi, and they're like, absolutely not. No. You are going to think some dark shit is occurring here. No, this is all you say, Juice. You just say, actually, our Wi-Fi is not that fat. We don't have very fast Wi-Fi, so we don't really have the bandwidth to spare. You shrug your shoulders and chuckle your own joke, and then just close the door. Also, just one other thing. We sell bullets full of heroin
Starting point is 00:13:02 on the dark web, and it's cool because then you can do one of two illegal things with it, if you want. You can actually shoot people, kill them, and make them addicted to heroin. Can you imagine moving into a place and being checklist, move in, number two, ask other person in building if you could use their Wi-Fi? I would never do that. Never. I mean, all three of us have pretty severe social anxiety that would prevent us from even broaching a subject like that. Not everybody's wired like us. I guess that's true. They're mostly wireless. I'm just saying I'm in the fucking virtual zone now. They're mostly wireless because it's Wi-Fi. No, I heard. Which means wireless fidelity.
Starting point is 00:13:49 We get tweets all the fucking time from you like, you missed this great joke from Travis. I want to go ahead and put my flag in this one and go ahead and say, didn't miss it, just did not appreciate it, did not enjoy it. They should remake High Fidelity and call it Y Fidelity. I would watch that movie where he runs like just a little really hipster internet cyber coffee shop. That one's got me busting a gut. I only want to, if you're not listening to FLAC files, then hi, it's me, Jack FLAC. It's pronounced GIF, you idiot. I made you a Spotify playlist. Here's the top five ways to get your girlfriend back. I only play EverQuests on an ancient RP server that I run out of my
Starting point is 00:14:39 listen. Yeah. Do you want me to read a Yahoo? Oh, yeah. I guess we can. What do you want to do? What do you guys want to do? I'm going to read this. I'm going to read this one and as just as a little six year present to myself, it's sent in by Yajurjurjurjavimport. Thank you, Drew, in the game, six years running. Probably. I forget when he came in the game, but it was pretty early in there. It's from Yahoo Answers user. Please load, please, please, please, please God, please God load. Nope, not going to load. Someone's using your Wi-Fi. Don't even joke about that. Muffin says, I need some facts on Mario Lopez. Help please. Please. I need a lot of basic facts about Mario Lopez, stared on safe by the belt.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Please help. Some questions. One, family background, like the origin. Two, biography of him. The second point is literally everything, literally all the information that exists of him. Three, birth date. Four, where he was born. Five, where he lives and any others you can think of. And if you may, can you please include the information on where you found him? Thank you so much. This is a person that not only knows the internet exists, but uses Yahoo Answers, but doesn't use the internet to just Google Mario Lopez. Okay, but in their defense, Mario Lopez keeps a pretty fucking low profile, doesn't he? He works hard to keep his name off that front page of Google. Uh, I mean, there are a few. Maybe they work,
Starting point is 00:16:16 maybe they work in a Mario Lopez free workplace. Oh, that would be the worst. Fifty interesting facts about Mario Lopez. Well, let's, I think everybody fucking strap in. He's reading all 50. Well, he was born on October 10th, 1973. He's a baby. I was gonna say he's way older than I thought. Born. He looks perfect. He was born with three dicks. Whoa, these facts are crazy, Travis. I'm also reading them. Definitely, they're the same ones you were reading. According to Mario Lopez, his first kiss was with Fergie when they were both on Kids Incorporated. Here's just the next fact in the same list. According to Mario Lopez, he had, he's the only man to ever have two first kisses. Sorry, I misread it there
Starting point is 00:17:04 in the middle, but that's weird. How do you have two first kisses? My first kiss was Mario Lopez and Fergie watching Kids Incorporated and I was kissing the TV screen. It was both of them. That's fun. Uh, fun, fun kind of thing because I, because it didn't happen, but this is kind of a fun thing to say and it's kind of just silly. If you imagine me kissing the TV and it's the two of them, it's kind of playing off what Travis said. Just kind of a silly thing to say. Yeah, it's like a silly, it's like a silly little guy. Mario Lopez has a sandwich named after him at the Quiznos at Long Beach. It's a turkey club. Well, that's, now hold on. You're gonna just call a turkey club the Mario Lopez. Yeah, that's not. It's already got a name. A turkey club. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 This is my signature sandwich, the peanut butter and Justin. It's peanut butter and jelly. Wouldn't it be great if Mario Lopez had never been in that Quiznos and it was just an aspirational naming of like a sandwich like Hillcob. What's he finds out about the Mario Lopez? I'm reading here that the character of Super Mario is named after Mario Lopez, which is weird. I'm not exactly sure how we should get Rumiamoto, like a big fan of, say by the bell, maybe. It would explain a lot, wouldn't it? Mario has an impressive physique and he says he never drinks soda. I love that I had to put that first part in there. Mario Lopez, he's got a fucking sexy body. Now you know that because the internet told you that and you just didn't look
Starting point is 00:18:43 at him fucking ever. You won't catch Mario walking under a ladder. He's very superstitious. Like Mario Lopez has like swung Tarzan like vine to vine from kids incorporated to say by the bell to fucking doing whatever he wants on TV and being basically everywhere and looking amazing despite the fact that he's 73 years old. Like I'd be pretty superstitious too. I will do whatever it takes to not upset the karmic apple cart that I'm apparently riding I am. Lopez once admitted to having sex on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. That's a long, this is a quote, that's a long ride by the way. It's very dark. Hopefully I'll get the raft named after me. Hey dog, I've been on Pirates of the Caribbean and like it's pretty well lit and full of kids,
Starting point is 00:19:32 you monster. You're a fucking monster. You have to go like your foreplay has to just basically be the part where they're like, get in. Get in the boat. And you're sitting on. Mario Lopez, you're a fun guy. 41. He loves coffee and drinks it black. 42. Not surprisingly, his favorite ice cream flavor is coffee. That really could have been, they started to get, they just wanted to get to 50. They were trying to beat the top 40 facts article on the internet about Mario Lopez. They probably cribbed a bunch of those too and then they just added 10 about coffee on there. Okay, wait, hold on. I'll Google Mario. Number 48. Mario Lopez wasn't saved by the bell. Mario Lopez. Mario Lopez, penis size. Can we not? Can we not? And his big dick. Mario
Starting point is 00:20:42 Lopez is nude. Where are these? What are you doing? Is Mario Lopez circumcised? Travis, what are you doing? What? What are you doing, Travis? I'm just trying to get all the Mario Lopez facts that this person craves. I'm Googling Mario Lopez feet. Sorry, guys. See, Justin, you're part of the problem. What do you think his next big project will be? Okay, if you were Mario Lopez, right, and you had that Lopez heat, what would you do with it? That's a great question, Travis. Me, a restaurant for dogs. Okay, and yeah, no, that makes sense. No humans allowed here. And when I call it gone to the dogs. I might just do that. Mario Lopez joint. Yeah. You wouldn't try to get something. You wouldn't try to get something even Lopez adjacent in there.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Nope. All the waiters dressed like Mario Lopez. Listeners, if you're wondering why the last 30 seconds of the show has gotten a little laggy, that's the sound of all of us trying to come up with some sort of dog related pun for a restaurant starring Mario Lopez's caters to dogs. We have, as you could tell, so far been unsuccessful. Uh, Lopez in this effort, Lopez, Mario Lopez, gone to the dogs. This is pretty good. Gone to the dogs, gone to the dogs to Mario Lopez sequel to my last joint. Oh, it's like how Bill Murray made like a Caddyshack restaurant that was like all golf themes. Mario Lopez, his mistake was he made the dog theme restaurant first, and then he spun that off into the movie
Starting point is 00:22:30 Mario Lopez. What if Mario Lopez had been a dog, the movie based on the restaurant? I don't think this needle is going to get threaded, gang. Nope. Well, listen, hey, we had a good effort. And hello, everybody. It's me, Socrates, the inventor of jokes, and I'm here to congratulate you on finding the impossible joke, the joke that can't be told. Oh, I knew we'd discuss it all. It took us six years. Thanks, Socrates. Thanks for letting us know now. You've worked hard. You found a lot of difficult concoctions over these past six years, but you found the two subjects that cannot be combined to create humor out of it. I'm Socrates.
Starting point is 00:23:15 You can keep trying, but you're only wasting your time in the listener's time. If you're a listener right here, and you are probably have already cooked up two or three hum diggers, do not fucking. No, I'm telling you, don't even tweet those shits. They suck. I'm telling you, I'm Socrates. Now, Socrates, did you discover the same combination during your time? Is that how you know that there's nothing but darkness on this path? I did. I looked into the crystal lens, I looked into the crystal lens, and I saw Mario Lopez and I was like, yes, yes, yes, got a hand up under that toga. If you know what I mean, I masturbated to the crystal. Yeah. And then I, I foresaw it was like, what if he owned a restaurant for dogs? And everyone thought that
Starting point is 00:24:03 was so whimsical. And they were all perched on the edge of their seats because I was performing at the Apollo. It was a different Apollo. It was like for the god. And anyway, I just couldn't do it, just couldn't get, couldn't not finish. Is that why you got poisoned? Sorry? Is that why you got poisoned? Was that you? Yeah, that was me. They killed me right there on the spot. And that's where the term to die on stage came from. But I died happy. Didn't I looking at Mario Lopez? So wait, you're looking at it. Let me get this straight. You're looking at a lens of Mario Lopez in front of people beating it. The crystalline. You were already on some fucking Andy Kaufman experimental comedy shit. This was like either Rome or Greece. I'm not sure sort of when I operated.
Starting point is 00:24:48 But anyway, yeah, that's like sort of common procedure. You're not enjoying a good sporting event or a good joke or a wedding or a bar mitzvah. Nope, we probably didn't have those back then. But anyway, yeah, I was having myself a good old toga tongue. That's why you had the tokens in the first place, right? Yes. Now you're getting it. Am I? Well, Socrates, thank you so much for coming by and saving us the trouble. We would have just kept bashing our heads against this thing. Yeah, nobody wants to hear that. I'm actually speaking to you through the crystal now before I died. Oh, shit. That's a paradox. Oh, shit. That's weird. His apparition. His apparition just like deleted itself from that was weird. Just like Barquio Lopez. Is that like a thing?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Is that close? Hey, I'm back. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. All my hypotheses. They're ruined. This changes everything. Just Barquio Lopez. There it is again. All right. Well, next question. Here it comes. Man, I googled so many things in the last five minutes. I need to close them before the FBI sweeps in. I mean, I googled when will Mario Lopez die? And I feel like that put me on a very short watch list. It's just me and Mark Paul Gosler. Okay, I live it. Okay, my boyfriend and I go out on a very regular basis. So we spend a decent amount of time in the car together. I like to listen to music during transit and I love to
Starting point is 00:26:23 sing along the songs. My boyfriend will constantly ask me a question or try to talk to me in the middle of the song I love to jam to. I've told him I find this frustrating, but he still does it. Am I wrong to want him to wait until the end of a song for a chat? And that's cranky copilot. This is the weirdest. I'm imagining me and one of you guys in the car and just like one week just came on and I'm like time to show off my rap skills. Chickity China, the Chinese and then like one of you is like, Hey, did you see the new Star Wars trailer? Like in the middle like while I'm in the middle of busting out those fucking raps, do you know how angry I'd be? Car singing is the most intimate personal
Starting point is 00:27:07 like thing you could possibly do that doesn't involve a toga. And I don't know why you would do that with another person in the car. There are two reasons. It's simply not done. There are two reasons. The center will not hold. The two reasons are one for comic effect. Like you're saying very like way too intensely to someone or you're saying the words wrong on purpose. Like that's pretty funny. Jesus, we are just putting on a fucking workshop today, aren't we boys? We're just putting on a fucking laugh, laugh clinic. For example, my favorite one to do it for is that one song about like, because I like you, I like you. But instead I sing, put your makeup on, take it off, put it on again, try again, now some more, a little more makeup. Okay, that's great.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And it's pretty funny. Yeah, I bet it would be if I knew like what the fuck you were talking. I believe it's Kobe Callier. Okay. And then the other reason is if it is a musical number that is a duet. And you maybe, so maybe your boyfriend doesn't get that he's supposed to join you in on the song. So what you need to do is stop and throw it off to him and just like, now you and like give him like the two points, throw it off to him and get him involved in the song. You could sing like, like you're just mid island in the stream and you're just like, and ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage of the Sahara, Mr. Dillon. And then just wait for Dillon to pick it up. That would be all, if someone did it to me, I would feel so cool for like five seconds.
Starting point is 00:28:53 That it took you to realize you don't know the lyrics. Yeah, nobody knows any of the fucking words. Islands in the stream, the stream. That is what you are. Is that right? Jason Waterfalls. I actually can't play. Come away with me to the island stream. That's actually what must be able to know is they're actually concurrent lyrics to islands in the stream. Both of us are correct. I wish I'd been with Jimmy Buffett the first time he heard that fucking song. And he was like this motherfucker. What do you why? Why? Like how did I not write this? I should have written this song. He doesn't seem, and now island definitely, but he doesn't seem like a stream based performer to me. Like islands in the bay. He doesn't like, he doesn't like bodies of
Starting point is 00:29:45 water that are landlocked. Nobody knows that. Yeah. I don't, I think, I gotta be honest, I hate to like, I, I just think it's kind of rude. I think it's a little rude to sing or to interrupt the song. To sing with somebody else in the car when they're trying to like the, the, like you're in a relationship with somebody like, like no one's ever been like, uh, listen, I knew the day I wanted to marry you is because I never wanted, I never wanted to hear SWV's week that sisters with voices. I never wanted to hear that without you on the track. And that's how I knew, like you, you get together with somebody so you can like talk to them and spend time with them. And if you're both singing the song that you like, that's one thing, but like, if you're just putting on a little, little personal concert
Starting point is 00:30:32 for somebody who's trying to operate a motor vehicle, like, what, how would you feel if like mid concert, they just slipped earbuds in their ears that they started listening to a podcast, like that would be pretty savage. But that's kind of what you're doing to them. This question asker is, is, um, is definitely asking, like, has asked the, the boyfriend not to do it anymore. Oh, then you just seem to give indication. The song comes on, you crank it up, you look at him and go, I'm going to sing now. Talk to me after the song. And you just go communication. Just right there. What is he supposed to do? What does he do for the next three minutes? It listens and enjoys, listens and enjoys. Claps like like a 10th, like a 10 year old, the 15th century Lord.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Just like, yeah, it stands for me, Jester. That's, that's what you look for in any partner. I think the ability to enjoy you in a childlike manner. I can see a situation where I would be the singer and I would get worried about their non-participation in the song. And like, if, if, if John Michael Montgomery's sold the Grundy County auction came on, and then I, of course I'm going to, yeah, of course I'm going to like, man, I thought we were going to burn it down. Oh, yeah. We've done this six years. Can we, have we not earned one fucking job? I went down to the Grundy County auction. I saw something and I just had a hand.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I can't. We got to pay price. My mind told me I should proceed with caution, but my heart said, go ahead and make a bid on that. He did a lot of research into auction. I said, hey, please don't give me a sign. Oh, that's good. No, I'm definitely not going to sync you guys up. So this is going to be like, oh, good, good, good. I've never seen anyone. Never seen anyone. Never seen anyone. Never seen, never seen any, never seen. I'm just going to duplicate it. So there's 19 of us, all just different parts of the song. It's around blonde hair, blue eyes. They don't want to get me on the side. I gotta have her. She's the one of a kind and about to bid my heart goodbye going twice. I'm sold to the lady in the
Starting point is 00:32:31 give me a sign. That's what you guys fucking sound like. Well, I went down to the Grundy County. Give me a sign. That's you guys doing a little live remix. Should I get my guitar? Let me grab my guitar. No, no, no, no. Hey, juice, juice, juice, real quick, juice, real quick before you do that. Yeah. Do you guys want a different audio? Should we go to the money zone? Money zone. And here's an instrumental, musical, vocal transition into the money zone. It's the Grundy County auction by us. We recorded it afterwards in a professional studio, and it sounds really good. And I'm going to play for you right now. You wear underwear every single day on my butt. That's true.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Well, hold on. Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. You probably do. Statistically, you do. Sometimes if there's a bad storm outside, I'll wear a underwear. Nice.

Okay. If I'm planning on day on the beach,
Starting point is 00:34:11 ponderware, or also concurrently, if I'm planning on ripping things apart, ponderware. That's pretty good. I'm done. Oh, if I'm, let's go jogging or underwear. Okay. So let's do it. I'm done. Done. Go ahead. Go for juice. What if you're trying to catch sharks with putting a lot of blood in the water? Oh, chum, underwear. There you go.

So you're already prepared for a world of majestic horses, haunted dolls and Garfield monstrosities. We're all so
Starting point is 00:37:47 glad to finally have you here. So what's up you cool baby? So I mean, she's probably seven by now. But gosh, I'm just so, so happy to have Clementine here on earth and in high school. I'm just really happy. So vote Clementine 2016. Vote Clementine. Vote Clementine. She's a mother of three and she's just doing her best. Okay. So basically welcome to the world and also we're sorry. Yeah, welcome Darf. You guys, I'm so excited to introduce to you my new baby getting curious with Jonathan Van Ness. This is going to be a really fun look at things that I find curious, whether it's a menstrual cup. It might be the Romanoff family. It might be fracking. It could be Carly Fiorina. I don't even know who knows. It's going to be whatever I think is interesting. I can't wait to bring it to
Starting point is 00:38:36 you guys. We're going to be bringing in content experts. I'm going to be learning the things. It's only going to take about 30 minutes for you to expand your baby brains with me and have a super fun time. So I can't wait to see you on our first episode of Getting Curious. I started a new job and it's been great, except one of the other employees have been trying to give me friendly warnings. Now that's in quotes, but I thought I implied it with my tone. Now I know how to do my job and no one has complained, but these warnings have gotten in my head more than once. Their latest warning just annoyed me, quote, try not to get that done early so you can get in trouble. Let me do it like I think this person did it. Try not to get that
Starting point is 00:39:25 done early. You can get in trouble. What the fuck does that mean? I don't know. So brothers, how do I deal with the coworker trying to assert dominance? And that's from your not my super brother. You fucking shank him. You fucking shank him right between the second and third rib. Just like give it to him right there. I want to, okay, I sighed with the question asker here, but I would pose that it's possible they're not trying to assert dominance. Maybe that's 100% how they're coming across, but maybe like they consider themselves a bit of like the welcome wagon for new employees who they've really figured out how things work around. They've been around the block. They've seen new employees come and go and they've really got the lowdown and they
Starting point is 00:40:04 want to help you out, but it's coming across like well, even as I said it, it really does like I know it and you don't, which is bullshit, but it might not be consciously as shitty as it could be. Does that make sense? Maybe they are on some level trying to help you. They're just really shitty about it. Some people actually like some people don't have a way of communicating things about their lives or like don't have that much interesting stuff in their life or don't have much of a personality outside of their job. Their job is the way that they define themselves. So the way that they're trying to make a connection with you is sharing, because it's the only thing they know that you have in common. So they're trying to connect maybe
Starting point is 00:40:51 I may be being too charitable here, but I've known people who they're so sort of embedded in their job that it's really the only thing they have to talk about. Just you don't have to fucking sub-tweet me. I'm really obsessed with my podcast, my video output, but I'm not just one-dimensional. I get out there and do lots of stuff. I go jet skiing almost every other weekend just to work on my jumps on the jet ski. But to be fair, Griffin, now you've talked about it on your podcast, so now that is part of your podcast work. Son of a- Oh my god. I think this person is trying to be the boss, and the other way to be the boss is to beat the boss,
Starting point is 00:41:34 and they're not going to attack their boss. Do you have some kind of like boss-beating strategy guide? Yeah, I posted it in premium games, published it, and it's also a boss guide for Castlevania Symphony of the Night. So if you follow that, then you'll be able to also attack your boss and win in like a physical fight. There's a lot of crossover. Just, you know, use a lightning type weapon. I think that this is like really shitty. It may just be entirely, I might just be projecting because of the tone of voice that Justin used when he said this thing, or the tone of voice Travis used when he said this thing. Maybe I should direct this aggression right at Travis, and maybe this is more innocuous than it sounded. But this idea of this person
Starting point is 00:42:18 being like, do you try not to get that done early? You can get in trouble. That's some fucking Dorian Gray bullshit. Is that his name? Sure. It's also possible that this person isn't actually trying to help you. And by saying shit like, don't get this done early, I could see a scenario when you get it done early, and the boss is like, well now I can give you more work because I know you can get it done on time. But like, I can't imagine an office scenario in which you would quote, get in trouble for completing tasks ahead of time. We need, what we need, by we, I mean humans, we need like, fighting plumage. Because like, obviously, you can get your body really big and you can like assert, you can reassert dominance
Starting point is 00:43:06 against them by like, just showing them your big muscles and like sticking out your chest and making, you know, human fighting noises like, come on, come on. That's like our like fight sound. But I'm saying like, we need something like most frogs have where they like extend their throats out real big and you know, like, oh fuck, I gotta stay away from that frog or like, birds that like shake their plumage to let them know like, if you're feeling froggy, then fucking jump. Griffin, are you pitching a scenario in which like, you get your hackles up and someone's going, oh leave him alone, he's in a bad mood or like, literally like, someone comes up to you and they say something shitty like, you might get in trouble and you're like,
Starting point is 00:43:43 and they're like, oh shit, it's like a Dilophosaurus, we need to leave that fucker alone. I'm saying humans need neck webbing or something. Got it. That they can really just like. And it's not just for, it's just to scare somebody off, you wouldn't use it in a fighting. Would it also be for mating? Oh fuck yeah, dude. You shake that in a certain way and it's like, all right. What if he, what if you keep your fists in satin bags? Okay. So I'm already on board. Satin bags. All right. Do the satin bags. Can you describe the satin bags? Cause I really need you to paint me a picture right now. Yeah. They're sort of like, imagine the crown royal bath with the red satin and you slip
Starting point is 00:44:29 them over your fists and on one of them, very negative is embroidered the word lucky lefty. And then on the other one, it's imported the word right boy. Is it the same? Is it the same for all people or does everyone have their own customized, like specific, same words, custom fonts, webdings, comic sans are popular options. So if somebody gets on your case and they're like giving you the business, then you just start slipping the satin bags off your fists as if it's time to say like, time for work, time to go to work. And then they'll get it from there because there's no reason that you would take them out of the bags. Cause your fists, I mean, it's all just fists.
Starting point is 00:45:15 What I love about that, Justin, is you only need to do that once to establish like what it means when the bags come off. It's not like a learned behavior that like you would only have to once remove the bags and punch someone and put them back on before everyone would be like, if he goes for the bag to back away, don't break eye contact. Do not smile. That's a show of aggression. Keep your shoulders hunched. Just move away and then turn a corner as quickly as you can. This would make a bar fight more like way more interesting. I don't like watching people fight. Like those videos pop up on Facebook and it's like, watch these 12 dudes knock the fuck out of each other at a baseball game. Like no, I don't want to watch men get hurt. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:54 But I would watch 12 men standing in a circle, very slowly taking bags off their hands going like, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Because it's the drama. It's the buildup. It's the fucking drama. It's the buildup. It's the Christmas eve of the brutal attack. Right. You know what would make human fighting so much better? So when when when male bucks fight like deer bucks, they like slam their horns together and sometimes there's a chance that their horns become stuck together. And then they just have to kiss. That's nature looking out for itself. Like, hey, you two are beautiful. Don't fight. I'm gonna make you all kiss instead. Clink. You're stuck. Smooth, smooth, smooth.
Starting point is 00:46:35 But can you imagine if two like drunk people at a bar are like, we're gonna have to fight about this. And then they started fighting. But then by the end, like their arms were just like stuck to get like hooked together in a way that they couldn't get out. And they're like, oh man, now we're both look like dummies. Now we're both embarrassed. And that smaller person took our drinks and we can't do shit about it. I think I like that. Something like that does happen, though, in boxing. Yeah. Sometimes the the the boxers will get into like, they'll be so exhausted. That they'll kiss. They'll like, no, they'll just like wrap each other up and stand there for a second. And it's like, it's beautiful because it's both of them saying, I want to fight.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I want to punch you so bad, but I'm so sleepy. I want to punch you more. But I'm so one of them just whispers in the other's ear. First of all, I am tired. I am true of heart. And the other one whispers back, you are tired. You are true of heart. It's like this moment where they're both very human. Yeah, I mean, like it's very, they're very connected to each other and everything, just the whole thing, you know, and then they then another one gets so angry, yeah, that they let themselves become so vulnerable, the energy to finish the fight. I think it would be nice if you gave boxers like the chance to ring their own bell when they need a break. Yeah, like they hug and they're like, are you, do you want to take a break? We'll sit down on our stools.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Someone will cut us and put like a cold quarter on our face or something. Or on their own bell. On the flip side, it's just like, I'm just going to stand here and hug you and take a nap because I don't want the man to cut my face anymore. And as long as I'm in here, I'm safe from the cutting man. You lean against me. I lean against you and neither one of us has to sleep with our heads in the body. You know what I mean? Hey, man, I also am very afraid of the cutting man. Oh, good. I thought it was just me. No, dude, just hug me here. I'll watch your cutting man, you watch my cutting man. Yeah, that's not a good arrangement. Please don't, please don't make me go back to the cutting man. Should we punch each other more just so
Starting point is 00:48:29 that you don't like ring the cutting man belt? Yeah, I guess. Oh, man. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Last one hurts so bad. My face is so tender, please. I can't get cut. You have blunt and he has edged and I'd rather take a blunt hit, please. Just punch me again. I don't want to punch you again. If you don't punch me, I have to go back to the cut man. Free me. Free me from the cut prison with your punch gloves. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't want to go over there and I don't want to get my face all cut up to relieve the pressure in there. But I also don't want to get punched anymore. Do we have any way out of this? Can we save face? Can we both lay down? Can we, do we got any kind of exit strategy
Starting point is 00:49:09 out of this so we don't get to have to punch each other anymore? I'm just sleepy. You smell. Hey, dog. Hey, dog, you smell good. Thank you. This is really the story of two guys trying to run away from their individual cut men and they just meet each other in the middle. It's like, well, I got to go through this guy because he is not altering his course whatsoever. And if you punch good enough, the referee doesn't make you go back to the punch man, to the cut man. I think there's some truth to what we're saying, though, because every fight by like round three through 10, it's just like, not that I've watched that much boxing in my life, but it's just kind of Peters out, right? And that first round, they go crazy. And after that first round, they get into a hug in the
Starting point is 00:49:45 second round, they're like, Hey, dude, I don't know about you. I just remembered, I do not like being punched. Yeah, me too. That's why when, when you see that like one punch KO, I'm like the first punch of the mat. Like at first, the guy who punched the guy out is like, yeah. And he's like, oh, I didn't get myself hardly any break away from the cut man. I have to go right back. I was literally just there. I didn't get, I should have, I should have waited to knock that guy out. So I could have at least like 10 minutes where I wasn't with him. Oh, it's kind of sad. That's why it's called the beautiful dance for it. Do you want to go? Can I give you fucking Clancy out here real quick? Yeah. It's by level 9000. You're down for thinking to spread your answers. User.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Sally. Thank you, Sally. For this question. Sally asks, I have to go to a bully's birthday party tomorrow night and I do not know what to give them for a gift. Can anybody help me with this? No details? No details, huh? Is there not a fucking, that's a beautiful story. Okay. So you were invited to, let's say Brock hit Lesnar. Brock Lesnar. I would call him a fucking bully. You're invited to Brock Lesnar's birthday party and all Brock does is pick on you while you're at school. This is like, yeah, we're picturing this like a Muppet Babies, but it was like MMAM Boxers. It's WWE Babies. I was getting there. Yeah, wrestling babies, wrestling babies. So you're in a wrestling baby situation. We've all been there and you're invited
Starting point is 00:51:20 to this. You don't want to go, but maybe like your mom knows Brock's mom from church and she's like, we have to go. The Lesnar's, you know, they're in our Bible study. We have to go. What do you get baby Brock? I mean, the obvious answer is a Jimmy John sandwich or a Jimmy John's like gift card. Is that a Brock Lesnar thing? Boy, that would be a fucking funny joke if either of you two knew anything about wrestling. I wasn't sure if that was a wrestling thing or just like a bully thing. Jimmy John, I'm just going to call him Jimmy John because he wears shorts as Jimmy John's on them and he's the only fucking wrestler who's allowed to wear like a logo on the thing and it's a fucking Jimmy John's pants and nobody knows why. Nobody knows why. I don't think he's
Starting point is 00:52:01 getting money out of it. I think he just like loves that. He loves that hunter. Yeah, loves that hunter. Maybe you could get him a book. I was about to say on not bullying, but what if you went the other way and got him a book on how to be a better bully and you were just like from now on, like I'm, I got your back. Like I like that you're a bully. I not only want to support it, want to make you a better bully. So when you bully me, I'm enjoying it to reverse psychology until he's like, I can't bully Travis anymore. He enjoys me being a better bully. What am I even doing? This is that, this is that fucking hang on old hellgip attack. He like, nobody came to your birthday party because you're kind of a heel, but I came to it and I didn't want to at first,
Starting point is 00:52:45 but now I'm learning a lot about you. You're learning a lot about me. You're still going to fucking bully me come Monday, but that Roger Klotz, if we may branch into a different, I like yours too. I just want to expand it because maybe we were talking to a little bit of a generational gap. You're Roger Klotz. He finds your diary, but he doesn't, he says he doesn't read it when you're afraid that he did, but he doesn't. And it turns out he's not such a bad guy. And then by Nick, I'll split your shorts. He's a good character. And he puts, he puts the puzzle together. What ice cream because he's magic? Wait, hold on. And he tries to, he goes to awful wall for you and he leans in close to your ear and he's like,
Starting point is 00:53:22 I know my dad's a piece of shit too. And he lets you up and then you're free to go. And then sponge and donkey lips are there. And, man, that was a good show. Allegra pops out that window. She's like, hi, I existed. And also Eureka's Castle. Okay. So much good stuff. I got a perfect gift. I got a perfect gift. Two satin bags for his fists. But listen, inside the satin bags. Itching powder! You got them, you got them, you got them, you got them. Got them, got them, got them, got them, got them, got them.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Well, no, that's actually bags. That's actually. Maybe acid. Now his fists are literally itching to punch you. Yeah. He's going to be withdrawing them all the time. He's going to be an object of living fear. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Take it one step further, Justin. Itching powder, crazy glue around the inside rim. So he puts his hands in, itching, can't get the bags off the scratcher, goes crazy. Yeah. Hey, how are you supposed to work on a computer if you have satin bags over your hands? That's why you don't see a lot of bullies in the technical fields.
Starting point is 00:54:30 That's why. That's why. I get it. That's why. That's the answer. Okay, listen. I do just want to point out that the top answer on this question is somebody saying, I would give them a book on bullying. So way to go Travis. Nice. I did it. Or some stupid gag gift, like a roll of duct tape marked with, to use over your mouth to prevent bullying. Really, I would do that in a heartbeat. Would you, would you common sense?
Starting point is 00:54:54 Because it seems like you should have a funnier thing. If you're going to do a thing, a bit, you should have a funnier bit. You should have my thing about the satin bags. You should not use the phrase gag gift to describe something that would literally be used to cover someone's mouth. Because then that is. That's not what that means. I know, that's not, you're wrong. I want to go back to talk about wrestle babies because I really feel like it's a property we could expand on and be pretty rich off of. Yeah, I would love to just hear you two say basically anything about wrestling for a minute. Today wrestling, I don't want to hear any
Starting point is 00:55:23 fucking Jake the snake shit or a honky tonk man bullshit. I want the current roster. Baby Undertaker, he's still in there. That's fucking cheating. That dude's 50 years old. All right. Single H, which is baby triple H. Okay. He hasn't earned the other two H's yet. That's fine. Do you think he would be Vince Rick baby? Oh, and they would have play pin matches instead of cage matches. Okay. Heck in a sec. What? That's mine.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I just took your thing because it worked here too. It's my thing now on this show. Hey, listen, that's going to do it for us. What about gold dust? But he's just really little and he can sneak up at you through like toilet pipes. Oh God, I just gave myself a shiver. Well, birthday shiver. Well, anniversary shiver here for six years of podcasting excellence. I want to mark this occasion by thanking some folks for some stuff they sent us.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Meredith and call maybe calling. I'm not real good at these notes here, but they sent us a save the day date. Stephanie and Michael say, Hey, macro, save the day Thursday. All of them. Stephanie and Michael sent us what I've noted here as an STD. I'm hoping I mean, save the date there. And Tim and Mariah invited us to their wedding. Apologies to all of you that we didn't make it, but I'm sure it's going to be a special day no matter what. Adrian sent us a $2 lotter. Oh, scratcher didn't make any money off of that.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Don't live in that state anyway. So I probably couldn't redeem it. Stephanie sent us a thank you note. Somebody sent us in a fuck you Ron mug, but there was no information along with that. Landon sent us a blizzard puck, a Huntington. What? A blizzard puck. I know. I know. It's a, we can, we can share custody. Someone sent us juggling balls. Didn't appreciate that very much at all.
Starting point is 00:57:23 They didn't have the. I have. I want you to know I've been practicing. I also got those 2016. I'm going to learn to juggle and then we'll have a juggler in the family. You always have to deal with it, dad. How many, uh, how many flashes are you, are you up to? Like not even a one. I'm, I can't, I'm so bad at it, Justin. How can we send tips later? Um, the, uh, and also the joyful Fox is the really cool, uh, Dr. Who clock, the, the joyful Fox design.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Oh yeah. That was really cool. You sent me a picture of that. That was, yeah, it was really neat. Um, uh, so that's, that's the gifts. And I really appreciate it.
