Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Hello everybody and welcome to my brother. My brother me an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-est brother Travis McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy. You said you had something funny to say, Griffin.
Starting point is 00:01:02 The Oxxers were last night, and we all had, I think we can all agree, a really fun time watching them. Got a little silly there at the end. Was that silly in the way of when they dropped candy and donuts from the sky silly? That was very silly, but they did something even sillier at the end that I thought was cool. Oh, do you mean like when they brought in the tour group and they were like, you're going to look at dresses, but it was actually super silly? And it was just sort of Jimmy sort of patented sort of prank. Do you mean when they fucking robbed our dear friend Lin-Manuel Miranda of his deserved Oscar? Is that what you mean, Griffin? That he deserved for writing the best song of the year, that they robbed him on that note.
Starting point is 00:01:46 This is unconscioned. And us by extension, by the way, because he would have closed his great job horn so many times from that podium. It's the closest I would have ever gotten to winning an Oscar, and they took that from me. Yes, that was uncomfortable, and I know we were all there for our friend, Lin, when he was robbed during that scene, although at this part it's actually not silly. This is actually kind of uncomfortable in that I'm afraid that our friendship with Lin is over now, and now La La Land is my best friend. Is that right? Does that make sense? That's uncomfortable. That seems unpleasant. Yeah, I don't want, we have a TV show now, so we have to keep swinging to the next sexiest vine, and he's been a sexy vine for such a long
Starting point is 00:02:33 time, and a really good dude, like a super, super good dude, but our friendship with Lin is over now. La La Land is now my best friend. Going to find out the name of the person who did it, because I watched this, I saw the movie, I didn't see the movie, but I've seen pictures of it, and I know it's Ryan Gosling, and he's in there playing piano, but did he play the, did he actually make the songs? It's unclear. It's a confusing movie. I haven't seen La La Land yet, but the scene that they used to be like Ryan Gosling for Best Actor is the scene of a person at a jazz club while jazz people are trying to play jazz, and here's this person in the audience at full voice talking about what's going on, and all I have to think is that person needs to be
Starting point is 00:03:22 removed from this place. That's not real jazz, man. But at some point, a host or a server should have come over and said, excuse me, sir, could you shut the fuck up? Yeah, I mean, that's the secret. A member of the Marsalis family or Cannonball, they don't talk during jazz. That's like the rule one of jazz. Rule two is just make a bunch of stuff up, but Cannonball will tell you do not talk during the jazz. The second rule, no eye contact during jazz. No, god, no, yeah. And then the third rule is just make a bunch of shit up, and yeah, good luck. No, the silly part is talking about where it's where Faye and Warren, who are two national sort of treasures, masters of the stage and screen, masters of their craft, like they're both masters of their craft,
Starting point is 00:04:16 you know, and they've accomplished some great works between the two of them, but they did remind us that they are still older folks. It's not their fault. Well, isn't it the fault? If I'm sorry, if you know you're dishing out Best Pick at the end, the big show, and you get handed a card that has Emma Stone's name on it, I think you would go, there's been a mistake before you just pulled a fucking trigger and just say another thing. This card says Emma Stone won Best Picture. Get up here, Emma. You did it. I want to dissect that moment for a second, because I think Warren Beatty got a lot of heat for that moment. I think he's going to continue to get a lot of shade thrown out. Well, first of all, I think that's undeserved, because I think Faye is the one that took that
Starting point is 00:05:03 ball and ran with it. That's what I'm saying, because Warren Beatty opens the envelope, is like, wait, Emma Stone's not a movie. One Beatty knows Emma Stone is not a movie, and Faye Dunaway goes, oh, you're terrible. And all I can think is inside Warren Beatty's head, he must have just been grieving. Faye at that point made a fucking risk, reward, sort of evaluation and decided I don't want to be up on this stage anymore in this uncomfy moment, so I'm just going to pull the trigger on this fucking thing without even like blocking down whether or not I'm saying the name of the real best pick. It's weird that Emma Stone's name is so big on this card, but whatever, I'll read the movie name smaller. I just feel like what we're seeing is old Hollywood still having its instincts
Starting point is 00:05:53 in place for heat seeking. My man Warren and my lady Faye are nothing if not heat seekers. They saw that and they thought, my man Warren looked at that card and you know what crosses mine? Time to go trending. Time to trend, Warren. Time to get back in the fucking limelight. Have I had sex with Emma Stone? I'm Warren Beatty. I'm Warren Beatty, but also now time to trend. It's time to get on this comment. Is it? Trend with me, Faye. Hey, Faye, take my hand. Take my hand and follow me. It's time to trend. I have no idea what that means, but I want to do it. I do want to do it. I hear a lot of people trending and it's time to trend, Faye. Come with me. Let's catch this comment in a net with me, Faye, and fly to trending.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Is it possible that this really silly thing that happened here at the end? It's a zag. I mean, let's call it a zag. It's a fucking zag at half. It's a silly switch up. Do you think that this was done somehow as sort of a magic trick prank by Now You See Me Too as a sort of slight for being slight head by the Oscar at Noms? Anything's possible. I really wish Lollan could have won it because that's my best friend now, and I would have loved it to have that feather in its cap. Congratulations to Moonlight. I should say I would love, love, love to talk about all the movies and if they deserved it, who won what? I saw, let me see, 0.01% of the movies nominated,
Starting point is 00:07:31 and that's just like the 10 minutes I was awake during Dr. Strange. Not because Dr. Strange was a boring movie. I had just had a baby, so I was just very asleep. Took a deep sleep. I'm sorry about being a parent of a young child when you're watching the Oscars for me this year. Most of the awards I was about engaged with and as like versed in as if I was watching awards for law and furniture design. It might as well have been that until the animated segment at which point I was on my feet, losing it, just listing off the merits and demerits of all the nominated pictures. Let's get into this. How do you feel about Zootopia? Taking the big one. Zootopia has a great message and it's that animals deserve to be people.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Something like that. Well, it's not, it's not really that so much. Zootopia is a fine film with a great message. Does it make me cry every time I watch it when she's like I am Moana and I'm like me too and I'm on my feet crying and screaming at the screen? Yeah. No, absolutely not, but it's a movie about discrimination which seems like a good message for right now. How to do it in a good way that's very secret and no one will know about. Wait, hold on. I haven't seen Zootopia, Justin. Is Zootopia about how to get away with racism? No, it's about, okay. No, but I'll tell you what it's not about, inspiring a generation. Well, it probably is also about, it is kind of like also that. I get you. I mean, I get you, but I, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:18 They're both fine pictures. Moana is obviously better, but it's like, it's fine. I try to watch Kubo, but it was very, it was a little bit dark and my daughter lost interest in 10 minutes, so I'll give that one a bit, a razzie. That one gets a razzie from me. Just because it was, just again, just because the colors were a little muted. Little colors were dark and there wasn't a big musical number within the first 10 minutes. Can I say, just before we move on for the Oscars, I would like to give my own award. And this is 100% all sincerity. Best jacket of the Oscars. Oh boy. Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Oh, that jacket. Oh, it was an amazing like blue velvet number. Ah, I fell in love with it right away. And now we got to do our worst dressed segment.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Can you even believe they left the house in it? And I'll start things out. Josh Gad was just, he was wearing, he's wearing just a suit, but his wiener was hanging out the whole time. But really the problem was the shoulder pads. The shoulder pads were a bit wild, yes. The wiener was fine. The wiener was excellent. I liked when Deadpool jumped up, ran up on the stage and he was like, I'm going to let you finish. But actually Deadpool was the best. That was like very good viral. His butt was out and he was like fart you very much. He said fart you very much. And it was like kind of inappropriate because it was like La La Land won. And then they got up and they were like, no, we didn't Moonlight won. And then Moonlight
Starting point is 00:10:49 got up to accept his reward. And then he ran up and he was like, Deadpool won. I'm sorry. I didn't know that the other thing was going to happen. And now this is all getting a little over complicated. Can we go back? Can we can we edit this? No, Mr. Reynolds. Anyway, if anybody has La La Land's phone number and or wants to like tell them about our show, so I can get that certifier going. Can we not joke about this, please? Because Liv will take it very personally. It's not personally, but seriously, and he'll take the joke too far and he'll stop talking to us and he'll make us talk to La La Land. And that's a movie. I don't stand with Griffin on this, Lynn. Anyway, that's our skewed take on the Oscars.
Starting point is 00:11:29 It's our skewed views. Why don't we do more movie stuff? Like we've got a lot to say, like Suicide Squad 1. What? It did? So that's like one, that's like what could be one whole segment. And it's like Hacksaw Ridge. Really? That could be another whole different segment. Neither one of those movies have I seen. No, God, no. They don't give it to the movies that I like. Which is like the movies that I saw in the theater, because I'm looking down the list. I saw, I did see Deadpool in the theater. That got a nom? That no noms for dead, for Deadpool on this one. Maybe they'll nominate it next year. Like, you know how they always do like stuff we missed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like Miss, Miss Connections.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I should see movies that don't have superheroes in them. I think if I want to get the most out of the Oscar. The Doctor Strange got a nom. It got the nom for the best effect things. Hey, also while we're talking about best effects, Oscars, if I could bend your ear for a second, I think I'm with you in that it's very funny that no one understands the technical awards. Like that's hysterical. I'm with you. Maybe that doesn't have to be the joke every single year and multiple times. At some point, don't you just expect those special effects wizards to stand up and say, we get it. Or alternatively, they say, fuck you, we're taking a year off and then Jurassic World 2 comes out and all the dinosaurs are just like fucking dudes in those
Starting point is 00:13:01 stupid inflatable costumes. And that's it. And then the next year, it's like, okay, guys, we're sorry. This year, the technical Oscars are the only Oscars we're going to do. The best actress was handed out in a non-televised segment of the show. But anyway, here's a new way of fucking, a new stylus that you can use to draw shit. It's amazing. I think it's horse apples that the people who actually make the movies get cloistered off to their sub Oscars. But best animated short? Like really? Unless it's before Pixar movie, nobody saw it. Nobody saw it. Here's my problem with it. Yeah, we really are doing this fucking thing year over year. They're like a technical lot. We don't even know what's going on and guaranteed there's people that work in the
Starting point is 00:13:44 technical field like, oh, okay, well, we'd be happy to explain it to you. Nope. No, you'd ruin the joke. It's like, we just don't get it. Did you see fucking Finding Dory? We made all of it. All of it was me. It was me. My name is Clark and I made Finding Dory with my computer. If they had spent half the time, they spent joking about not understanding them to actually explaining them, we would all have like minors in the special effect design work engineering. That would be amazing. Next year, Andrew Garfield gets up to present the technical Oscars and he gets up and goes, I'm supposed to talk about how I don't understand that. That's the shit they've written for me here. And he just throws away the script and he like sits down at a table and has
Starting point is 00:14:28 a three hour long conversation about the new like refraction lenses. He pulls a fucking Justin Trudeau up there. He's like, cool, I'll break this shit down. How long you got? The history of the camera. Here's the best part is it's all wrong and lies, but it is three hours slow. Here's how I bet it works. Now, I've never used a camera, but if I had to guess, okay, time to get into the advice. Here's my first question. Yesterday, I went to a used video store and I tried to buy a copy of the Denzel Washington movie Unstoppable. Denzel was wrong again. It's a great act of our time. I took the case to the register, but the girl couldn't find the disc in the filing cabinet. She took my name and phone number and said she called when and
Starting point is 00:15:16 if they found it. Here's the problem. I don't actually want Unstoppable that badly. If I never go back to pick it up, am I good? That's from somewhat unstoppable. A lot of issues. This is the wild train movie where Denzel has to fight a big train with the help of Captain Kirk. I think so. A lot of Hollywood glitz in this episode, I think. Yeah. A lot of stars in the sky tonight. They are all in this episode. I used to work at a GameStop and if you came in and you tried to buy SSX Tricky and I was like, I can't find the disc. I'll take your name down and if I find the disc, I'll let you know. That's just a salve for you to try to get you to leave the store because I ain't gonna find that
Starting point is 00:16:13 disc. If it's not right in the SSX section of my folio, then I'm not going to locate the disc. In three months, when fucking Halo 8 comes out and I'm stocking up Halo 8, a fucking SSX Tricky disc is not going to fall from a hidden crevice in the cabinet. That disc is gone and the game is gone forever. Unstoppable is gone. It got dragged to hell and I'm very sorry. Somebody threw it in the fucking garbage can or stole it. That is how it does. Griffin, let me paint a counter picture for you. One in which miracles can happen and angels do exist. Let me take down your number. I'll call you as soon as we find a copy of it. They find it. They call and I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah, great. And then the next day, somebody else comes in and says, hey, is that
Starting point is 00:17:00 unstoppable? I thought, no, this is for Dave. This is for Dave's copy. And then Dave doesn't come in. And then the next day, somebody else is like, oh, unstoppable. I've been meaning to check that out. Can I please buy that VHS copy? No, this is Dave's copy. But after a while, the store clerk begins to lose faith in Dave. And then by extension, humanity. Sadness reigns. Is that it? The fin. Oh, Jesus, Trav, I thought there was going to be a turn. No, that's the thing of when there is no turn because Dave did not go get unstoppable. I have a fun story along these lines. A friend in college used to work at Blockbuster and stole a copy of showgirls. Yeah, tell me all about this. I didn't steal a copy of showgirls. I stole a copy of
Starting point is 00:17:44 Fight Club. It's in our fucking TV show, CISO.com. You're free week. I forgot you're only allowed to steal one thing when you work at Blockbuster. You have immunity. No, I had Tommy Red come over and videotape showgirls off HBO while we were on vacation. Anyway, a friend of mine was working in a video store in L.A. and Lance Henderson came in and he asked for a millennium and the guy working the desk said, do you want the 1989 movie or do you want the TV show? And Lance Henderson said, I want the one with me in it because Lance Henderson is the star of the TV series. So I don't know what this world is that Lance has to go rent his own copy of Malini on the series on the video cassette, presumably. But that's, I always get kicked out of that story.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Do y'all want a Yahoo? Yeah, please. So send him by, so send him by riding high. Zoe Kinski, thank you Zoe. It's Yahoo answers user. Sorry, something's gone wrong. I'm going to try one refresh. I'm going to give this a little bit of bandwidth and see if we can't. No, this dog won't bark. It's from Joey who asks, I am naming all of my pants. Let's start with the torn Wranglers with spaghetti sauce on the left leg. Any ideas? I'm very fond of them. It's just like a fun way of like categorized like you need to know, you need to know like you open up the drawer and it's like, what jeans do I want to wear today? And it's like at this point I have like eight or nine pairs of jeans, you know? I'm on TV. And so I need like a way of like,
Starting point is 00:19:21 a shorthand way of like knowing who they are. One more time. Torn Wranglers spaghetti sauce on the left leg. If you'd like, I can start you off with some responses for Yahoo. Yeah, that'd be great. Katz says Italian stallions. That's fun, but I think we can do better. And just like that, here comes Dolores and the prune who says, Rip, Messwell, Tom Longstrand, Basil Pestowski, Sally says, how about naming them after the Swiss national hero, William Tell? The missing drawstring has been used for this crossbow. The hole where he was aiming for the apple in your pocket, but lost his concentration. We got a whiff of cheese mixed with something
Starting point is 00:20:08 you didn't quite recognize as emanating from his homeland. Fuck right off. Why are we wasting the best minds of our generation, the most creative talents of our generation on Yahoo answers? Enzyme 303 says, Ranguini. It has that spaghetti Western feel to it. Perfect name for the good, bad, and the ugly. That's actually pretty good. There's four fucking pages of answers to naming this person's jeans. So they're just trying to name their pants that have spaghetti on them? Why? Why? Play along, yes, and. But what's the, but play with me. But I need to know for what, for the national pants registry, like where does this come up? Is this just like. Play with me. But Griffin, I need to know. I need to know the parameters of when you might say
Starting point is 00:20:53 this name out loud to fully understand because like mess pants. Why not just mess pants? These are, these are mess pants. Mess pants is good, but you can do better. Just play with me. I'm trying to, Griffin. I just need to understand who, okay, Griffin, answer me this one, one simple question. Yeah. Who might I say the name of these? No one. Just to you. It's like a fun game for yourself. Why not just like Doug? These pants are Doug. If that's funny to you, I guess. I'm going to put it on Doug. If that's funny to you. I put my legs inside Doug. See, now it's getting better. Doug's a little worse for wear. Doug got some sauce on Doug. Got some, now your name is Rip Messwell. Tom Longstrand. I'll be honest. I'll part the curtain a little bit here. I did include
Starting point is 00:21:46 this question just because I wanted to put up these amazing names from Dolores and the Prune. Rip Messwell, Tom Longstrand and Basil Pestowski. Basil Pestowski is my favorite. It's very good. And I thought maybe we could get in there and play along, but apparently you boys don't want to play my new game that I came up with for you. No, it's fine. I just don't know. I just don't know. That's fine. How about a different one? We'll get you guys back in your comfort zone. Okay. This one was sent in by a lot of folks. Well, two folks, Nicholas Potter and Christian Anglos Synthesis. Thank you. It's from Yahoo Answers user Justin. Uh-oh. Justin started his account on Christmas Day and put this one up on Christmas Day. Thank you, Justin.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Justin asks, do dogs know they are dogs? Oh, shit. Yeah. So they think now you'll play. Now you'll play with me. Because I think if- No, they are dogs. You think about this and you think who gives a shit, but then you also think about Marma Duke, the dog who thinks he's a person. So if that, if he exists, he exists. Okay. Let's establish a baseline just for those people screaming at your podcast player, your Victrola or whatever. I think that dogs very clearly can see themselves and other dogs and humans and be like, we're definitely- Yeah. There's something different here. The question for me at least is, do they register like, well, those people own us. We are their pets. Well, I don't know if they go above.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I don't know if they go that far, but I do think they regard us as like the tall striders and the food god who reigns their benevolence down upon us. I feel like dogs know other dogs are dogs. Yeah. But they kind of feel bad for those guys. Look at all those guys that are owned by people and man, that must be a rough putt for them. I feel bad for dogs. I don't feel like dogs probably see themselves as small humans on four legs and then they see other dogs as dogs. Like there's an air of superiority. I feel like. Really? All dogs are kind of up their own butts a little bit. A little bit. Well, that would make a lot of- They aren't always trying to get up their own butts.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Yeah, that would explain it. You'd think that they, this is a tough one. Do you think they'd be bummed out or is this just the world that they know? What do you think they think of cats? Yeah, I mean, now we're really getting into it. Like, when the dog looks at a cat that lives in the house with them, is the cat like, yeah, me and the other humans just putting up with this thing? I think we can all agree that they do look at us as giant gods, as giant, like giant powerful figures, you know what I mean? Like they worship us unto a god. That's all striders. I actually think Griffin, you've really touched a nerve for me because this is
Starting point is 00:24:56 my problem with raccoons, is I spend so much time with dogs. Finally, we're getting to the horror. I know, let's really get down to it. I spend so much time with dogs who like very clearly recognize that I am a superior being. And then there's like a raccoon in my garbage. And I'm like, blah. And it looks at me like, fuck you. It just keeps doing what it's doing. I'm like, no, this is not how this is supposed to go. So raccoons know the raccoons, right? And they fucking don't recognize my divinity is what I'm saying. Right, exactly. So, yes, that's a good point. I think horses are, I think equally, I think horses are just ambivalent. Right. Like horses know their horses. And I think they're one of the few animals that are like,
Starting point is 00:25:31 yeah, I'm a fucking horse. Guess what? I just told you. So, and I think that they're totally fine with it. And I don't even think they would refer, I don't think they would think of us as gods at all. I think because they're taller than us and they have like way more legs, like twice as many. So, shoot. I think when we ride a horse, I think the horse is like, what a cool favor I'm doing. What about when a dog sees you on a horse? Now that's probably like, I don't know why all dogs don't just instinctively shit when they see that. Like, what do we even do? The one thing I had on them was I had four legs and now they have six. This would be, this would be essentially like seeing like God giving a, like a bigger God, a piggyback ride somehow. Like, I don't,
Starting point is 00:26:19 I don't even understand how that visual would pay. I bet the harder thing for dogs is when they see people get off a horse. Like, no, what are you doing? You just figured, no, what are you, are you crazy? Get back on there. What are you doing? Why would you ever get off? Do you think that when animals, we human beings have made such a big deal out of animal pairings and like weird animal pairings, but I guarantee that like most animals are just like, yep, you, me, yep. Like, horse is just a bigger dog. Dogs are just smaller horses. Travis, are you sure you haven't seen Zootopia? You got the message. You got it, dude. Like you've got, it's a great, you should watch it because you've already got
Starting point is 00:26:59 its good message in your heart. So. And I guess I don't need it. That's, that's how I look at movies. Do I already know that that thing is bad? I don't need that movie. I've got it. I already know to guard the galaxy. Thank you very much. I have a new segment on the show. Is it just another question or is it like a new? No, it's a new segment. I'm vended. It's called Guy Another Day and it's a Guy Fieri update. Just like checking in on Guy. Guy Fieri, see what he's into. All right. Wait, like minute by minute, like right now, what is he doing? No, just like when he does something notable. Okay. My wife sent me a quote from a real interview that Guy Fieri did with a vice property called Munchies and they asked him where flavor town was. Have you guys seen this? No, but
Starting point is 00:27:51 I would really like to make guesses as to his answers. Just fucking hold on for literally probably the quote of your life. Oh my god. This, I want this to be my yule too. Okay, here we go. On camera, I once said this pizza looks like a manhole cover in flavor town. I'm sorry. I know that's not the funny part of the clip, but I hadn't heard that one before. Willy Wonka had a chocolate stream, you know? So it's taking these iconic food items, these iconic food moments and giving them a home. They all live in flavor town. It's like one of those things in the matrix. You can only get down with flavor town if you believe in flavor town. I have people walk up to me and say, Hey, I'm a citizen of flavor town. I have people that want to pledge
Starting point is 00:28:43 to be a city council member of flavor town or the mechanic. It doesn't stop. Their names are Justin Travis and Griffin McAvoy. They email me every week. What would be the airline of flavor town? Wait, he said that? Wait, I'm reading the fucking quote. What would be his own statement about flavor town? He began to pose his own questions to flesh out the universe. What would be the airline of flavor town? The titles of the Star Wars movies in flavor town. Sausage airlines? It just doesn't stop. I just said it and many people heard it. Goes all the way to the top. Here's the fucking cherry on this bad boy. Of course, there's no flavor town unless you believe in it. Oh my God, you scared me so bad because of course I do. Like you scare me fucking really,
Starting point is 00:29:33 really bad for a second there guy. What do you think as long as we're going down this hypothetical road, Mr Fieri, what do you think mayoral elections are like in flavor town? Do you think it's based on who's most flavorful who can bring like protect the most flavor who can bring the most flavor from outside? So is it like I've traveled afar and I've brought you new flavors to flavor town or is like pizza the hut the mayor of flavor town? I think we get I think there's an electoral college system just on a very local hyper local level and then what I think that results in two candidates and then they have a buffalo wing eating contest. Do you think is what role does Mr Fieri play in the politics of the running of flavor town? Doesn't, doesn't, doesn't.
Starting point is 00:30:22 He fucking gave me Guy Fieri wondered into flavor town as one might wonder into Narnia and discovered it's dark secret. He was transformed by by a by a satyr and interesting and then he returned to us through through his magic pizza oven he climbed out of and he somebody was like what the fuck happened to your hair and face and body and he was like I don't know it got wild over there. These sunglasses are fused to the back of my head. Yeah and then those are covering the eyes that he uses to watch his back constantly in case flavor town comes for him because they do send they're called reclaimers and what they do is they escape they are given permission to walk in our world and if you speak of flavor town then they're they're hunting you they're basically
Starting point is 00:31:12 hunting people who can can let their secret be known but then why does Mr Fieri uh like why does he draw their wrath he could just stay quiet about flavor because he stole their fucking secrets because and also he's very good with his spark lance that's one of the weapons that he took from flavor town from the armory and when the reclaimers come for Guy Fieri uh he uses the spark lance that he stole from flavor town to defend himself and that's why it's a special that's why he must always be on the move moving from diner to drive in to dive never stopping never sleeping that's right that's why they play the sad incredible hulk music at the end of November if you say yeah drives and dives because he's on the way he's got to keep on the move because
Starting point is 00:31:58 they're always looking for this does make sense because I actually went to a restaurant not two days ago that had one of those like guys been here panels and and I always thought that was like because we're on the show and now I'm thinking maybe it's like a memorial plaque because like he finished filming and his duty and bought off like four reclaimers saved all of our lives yeah yeah if they see if you ever see one of those plaques just to stay near it for a while and eventually you'll see someone come in that looks like a predator made out of fettuccine alfredo yeah and that's a reclaimer that's what I want to say out of there it's just sorry a fettadir no no no no maybe it's made of feta would that be better it's not really it's so it's just guy in his hot rod
Starting point is 00:32:44 and his spark lance just driving from place to place just trying to find the secret that's going to get the the flavor town reclaimers off of his back and really the last final fantasy game was loosely based off of guy fietti's story um it was it's kind of like a cool crossover here's what the history books don't tell you there was actually a time at which flavor town and our world were one interesting and they actually were torn apart though there is a small like venn diagram overlap in the peace oven that mr fietti uses to travel betwixt the two planes now mr fietti is trying to draw them back into overlap that world was called the personal pangia right correct and so mr fietti is trying to pull the two worlds back into alignment but now the government of flavor
Starting point is 00:33:33 town realizes that if that happens they will lose all the control over their delicious citizens that they come to rely on and and really bask in so they're trying to stop the convergence the flavor converges the flavor singularity because it's gonna have if if he's unsuccessful it's gonna happen and we're gonna get like a shot of like a eight-year-old in iowa or something and she bites into a a a crisp a honey crisp apple and just fucking pizza sauce spills out of it and she's like mama something's wrong and then you look up into the sky and it's just noodles zesty noodles falling out well that's the thing is like right now everything you taste is maybe one percent of what the actual you die you would die you would die if you got if you got a fucking unfiltered
Starting point is 00:34:20 flavor town you would be destroyed this is like the giver right the only only mr fietti remembers flavor and he has to tell us about it because flavor has been removed from our lives but if this convergence happens the flood of flavor would knock your tongue out the back of your head yeah and i'm not speaking metaphorically here yeah it would knock your tongue the the secret is and the thing that they're really trying to keep him from is there is a tower that connects our world to flavor town yeah and in order to get to you have to follow they call them cream beams they're beams made of different cream sauces yeah and you can follow them to the tower that unites to the and the man he controls it all is the saucer and the
Starting point is 00:35:07 saucer the saucer is defends the cream beams but he also like tries to keep interlopers out you know so he has to sneak past the saucer to get into flavor town every time it's it's truly a miraculous tale when you really sit down and think about it if i can just stop for a second because we always forget to do this fucking tm tm tm well no hold on sorry we can't tm guy fairy i'm sorry fellas no we can't do that okay but it's fair use tm big giant head llc tm us don't steal this one this one's got this one's got cinematic potential this one this one's a movie this one's our money maker can we make we can finally retire on can we make a movie about the saucer who controls the all pillar that connects our world to flavor town and our our kotet across the cream beams
Starting point is 00:36:00 without including mr fieri at all because i don't i don't actually know that that would be a good hang i feel like the story is bigger than him at this point yes you know i feel like you know i if he won't get on board somebody will well name our main character on the line he fiery oh that's good listen if we're gonna fund this film we're gonna need some outside investment and just as to get that kick started uh let's head on over to the money zone do you want to shave your goatee sure we all do hi i'm travis backroy speaking specifically to guy fieri now this week we're sponsored by harry's mr fieri i really think this may be the product for you that pesky facial hair you've tried everything you've tried clippers you've
Starting point is 00:36:56 tried hedge trimmers you've tried like sheep you've used you've used the spark lance like be honest and nothing has worked well might i recommend harry's razors uh it when you it's got five german engineer blades a lubricating strip flex hinge for a comfortable glide trimmer blade for hard to reach places like your the back of your head where your glasses are fused to and weighted ergonomic handle um harry's started with just two guys jeff and andy then they bought a factory with a hundred years of blade making experience so they could make their own high quality razors sell them online and shoot them directly for half the price you don't have to go to stores and wait for someone to unlock a cage and pay you know fifty dollars for two blades instead just check it out

Starting point is 00:42:52 i noticed a horseback riding trophy on his dresser and asked him about it he said that as a youth he did trick riding and could even do handstands while the horse is in motion when asked to do a handstand he refused saying it's easier to do on a horse brothers this is my new boyfriend a liar how can i get him to back up his claims of sick tricks that's from riding high or hiding lies in king's country county king's county ah damn it it's i got so excited because you said you're dating your longtime friend i'm in my mind i was just like oh what a love but then this is a this is a pretty big lie like this is a pretty major lie and it shows it tells you that this person is willing to lie about in if they'll lie about this the lie about literally anything for fun
Starting point is 00:43:44 but they do have our trophy okay i will not deny the fact that it is possible to handstand while riding on a horse i think it's going to require a pretty fucking good jockey and a pretty fucking good horse a broad a broad horse that has a little flat back a real flat back to literal pommel horse is what we're talking about here um is it easier to do that on the ground that doesn't have shifting meat and bones inside of it no no no no no of course not no it's counter point counter point counter point count this is gonna have to be a fucking pretty good counter point perhaps this boyfriend from birth was only trained to handstand on a horse they have never done it on a flat surface before that is so it's like they've only like maybe they're maybe he's from
Starting point is 00:44:45 a family of fucking trick riders because otherwise how do you accidentally get into it how if your family is not horse people do you at like six be like mom dad parents folks i want a trick ride and Travis i love you and i and i know this is all for the joke and it's a joke show full of goose and spoofs there's no reality in which the first time you try a handstand it's on a horse that simply does not cannot be done it can't be right you're right you're right a pony you have to grow up together to establish that trust thank you Justin you are right at two years old you had a new foal you handstand on the foal you died and the pony died the pony is i think i think if you try to do a handstand on a pony and you die i think the pony is also sort of summarily killed i think the
Starting point is 00:45:38 pony is also destroyed you killed my boy you weak back baby horse it's just not it can't be done it's not okay the two things that bother me the rest of this one he is objectively lied by saying it's easier on a horse that is that's a lie good on you for your lie detector going off as far as proof there is no reality in which if i did a handstand on a horse i would not be wearing a shirt that says take your fucking phone out and get ready to take a picture of this sick shit i'm about to do everybody would be ready to take a picture of me doing a handstand on a horse if i was about to do that absolutely there would be pictures alternate theory alternate theory i have now this boyfriend is hiding a traumatic handstand horse event
Starting point is 00:46:33 similar to they're all traumatic they're ultra there's been there's been tops four non-traumatic handstand horse activities in the king killer chronicles when it's like both doesn't do magic anymore it doesn't play music and we're all like what happened yeah but why in book three of your relationship book one was longtime friends but two boyfriend book three in book three of your relationship with this person you're gonna find out what happened and oh it's gonna be so it's listen so good i don't want to build this up i don't want to give you false hope it's gonna be the sickest story you've ever heard it doesn't matter how long it takes book three of your relationship to come out it could be take your time the horse handstand petrographis take
Starting point is 00:47:17 your time and polish it up get it ready get it ready for us but but it's gonna be the fucking sickest shit ever now in the meantime don't press your your your partner too hard here because the this this third silence is his you can't you he'll give you the story when he's ready for it i but it's gonna be but it's gonna be incredible incredible do you guys want to y'all yes please yes um this one well there's another one that's like a fight give me a name for a thing but i feel like we well we didn't really do that with the genes because you fellas didn't really want to play along you didn't play my game let's just do this one maybe i'll do two more uh this one's from earham wisessa thank you earham it's by yahoo answers user they are
