My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 346: Blue Eyes, White Dragon, Can't Lose

Episode Date: March 14, 2017

The joke that constitutes the title of this episode is absolutely the best thing in this episode, and I'm very, very sorry for ruining it, but I can't imagine titling this episode anything else. This joke is important. This joke is historically meaningful. Suggested talking points: Justin's Nautical Secrets, Coupon Flirting, Bad At YuGiOh, Soup Rules, Shoes Off!, Guy Another Day, True Beef Season 3, Hamilton in a Hurry

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 ashore. My name is Justin McElroy. I'm my brother, my brother, me, this one. Ahoy there. I'm your middle-est brother, Travis McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother, 30-30 luminary girlfriend McElroy. Land ho. Oh boy, our smoothest, like name saying, I think, to date. Yeah.

I'm back on shore, on land, I guess. I don't know how to think of it anymore. I used to think of myself as at sea, but then I think of this as at land now. You know, like I live on the ocean. You've surfed and now you're turfing. I'm both surfing turf simultaneously. At the same time? Yeah, I'm a delicious, pricey dish. So how far are opener going so far? He's not good, I think. Listen, oh god, it's happening again. Okay, so yeah, walk us through what's happening right now in your, I guess, inner ear zone. I've been in the joke, I've been on the Jococruz for the past week, just got back last night. Now, it is a, it was a fun

uh, conflation of things. First off, uh, there's a three hour time difference. We had a two hour time difference, uh, uh, so it was like two hours before Eastern Standard Time for most of the crews. And then right when the last day we got back to San Diego and it was PST, so it was three hours difference. And then we flew back from PST and lost three hours that way. And then that night, it was day savings time. God, God, it's up another hour. For Justin, it's Thursday. I'm beyond the construct of time. I mean, all times. You've been beyond time and like stationary like land, what that feels like under your knees. You're fucking, you're Matthew McGonaughey and whatever that alien movie was that I've already forgotten the, the title.

Whoa, shit. It's also not a joke that after you've been on a big cruise ship for a week and then you come home, uh, your house feels like it's moving sometimes. That's especially noticeable. Like it's important to stay mo moving around because it becomes much more noticeable when you, uh, let's say sit stationary, uh, and stare at a screen and a microphone for an hour. And Justin, is this something we were going to be getting? Let's say, uh, recurring updates on throughout the course of recording this episode. I don't feel like there'll be especially funny. Um, so I'll try to keep them to a minimum. But if like, if I stop mid-sins, it's because my, uh, computer is falling through my desk and the wall is turning upside down.

Can you, I, this is, this is not fun though. I want to hear about this sort of new oceanic mastery that you have fucking now that you, now that you went down Periscope for a while and you got out there on that big, big blue beautiful boy that we call the ocean. And like what you learned out there, just sort of some nautical secrets and just like some lessons that you learned from your new wife, the ocean. I will tell you this one nautical secret. Um, and, uh, myself and Max Tempkin, of course he gets to me to learn this this week. If you start asking about the brig a lot, they are going to, you are going to start getting some huffiness. I, we just want to see where the brig was cause there's a brig for sure. Right? Like there's gotta be a brig. There's a, there's a boat

jail and I just want to see the boat jail once. Oh yeah. Yeah. Come on. How many Jimmy Buffett songs are there about boat jail? There's no boat jail songs, which is amazing. Boat jail, boys in the band go to boat jail. All of my boys did some sea crime. Now they're in lockup. That's that one. Justin, you're with us. I'm here. I had another one. I had a big good boy. Good twisty boy. Hey man, did you get to steer at all? They sell captain's hat. They sell captain's hats in the gift shop. All right. Talk about the gift shop. Listen, I'm going to talk about the gift shop. For one, this gift shop sold a lot of watches and crystals and there were signs because all us nerds were on the cruise. There were signs like

be like the doctor and control space and time and buy one of these watches. It almost worked. And then they started, that's not how it works. Then they started buying a stethoscope and a thermometer. I'm not controlling medicine. You're right. And then they started showing Dr. Who in the gift shop, which is pretty good. That's good stuff. I'll take it in there. We've got to go back in time. Let me touch my magic watch. It's 1884. Thanks, magic watch. Yo, welcome, Dr. Beepo Beepo. This is my magic watch, Beepo. Another thing I have to mention about the gift shop is that it was showing Dr. Who 24 hours a day and there are people who worked there that were just like, I guess just on a binge, man, just like trucking their way through the 10th of years. I had,

obviously, I had diarrhea. All right. I obviously had diarrhea at one point. The old hemorrhoids, I had hemorrhoids pretty bad, start flaring up pretty bad. And I kicked it on down the gift shop. This gift shop will sell you a tray of delicious imported rum flavored chocolate turtles with sea salt on them for $10 in a box. And for the world's smallest tube of preparation age, it costs $17 and 95 cents. But you've got to understand. Yeah, they literally, they have you over an ocean sized barrel. What are you going to do, get fucking medivac for your butthole? That barrel is comically labeled diarrhea like in an old political cartoon. Yeah. And they do have a medical center. So I could have

kicked it. Oh, here we go. I could have kicked it down there and just been like, you know, look at me, you know what's up. I think they should just like you walk in the door and they shoot you in the mouth with a Pepto gun. They just know and you just walk in and there's just like a mouth level tray with Pepto on it that you can just sort of consume and be out of the door in three seconds. You should just walk into your hotel room and in your like state room and there's like a towel folded like a monkey and it's holding a tube of preparation age for you. How did you know about the towels folded like monkeys? Because I know things. Man, I actually know. I actually know it from John Hodgman's. I think it's

more information than you require or it might be that is all he talks about going on a cruise and about the different animal shapes and what they mean. Also suffers. I never knew that Mr. Hodgman also suffered from that very bad butt affliction. He does not talk about preparation age. He actually. No, because he has more fucking decorum than the three of us like orangutans just like shouting about what I was going to say before Griffin interrupted me was that the H stands for Hodgman. He is the inventor of preparation age, but I didn't get there. The problem with me going on cruise and not getting to record this show for a week is I have so much to talk about and I didn't get to last week. So I'm sorry that we have like a bunch of different

intros that I have other things I need to cover if you guys can just hang with me. Yeah, sure. Hit it to two more big bullet points. The first came yesterday when I was going back through security to get on to the plane in San Diego. And as I was about to go through the backscatter machine, is that what it's called? Yeah, sure. Anyway, I was about to go through the backscatter machine and you know that the metal detector next to it, if you don't want to do the backscatter thing. As I was about to go through the backscatter machine, I see a security guard pointed the person behind me. He looks at her and says, you got any metal in your body? All right. And she's like, what? Do you have any metal in your body? And it becomes clear fairly quickly that English is

not this woman's first language. And English is my first language. And even I was a little bit like challenge. Excuse me? Yeah. What? Can you just say what I want you to say with my heart, which is, are you a cyber grandma? Can you tell me if you are a part cyborg, part robot, part woman, all grandma, all cyborg? You grandma Logan? You grandma Logan? This has nothing to do with my job. It's a fascination of mine. And you look like you might have some cyber components. Do you have cyber components? Are you enhanced with cyber components? Are you more machine than human at this point? All right, going through. This is really the main thing I wanted to talk about. Yesterday, I was driving back. I was watching trolls on the car. Yeah. And Riley,

a sister in law, told me, I learned something by watching the credits of this movie. Did you know that all the pretty much all the people who have like one line in this movie are all well known YouTubers? Oh, fuck me. And they did that because, you know, so it's like kind of a cool marketing. It's a smart market. Yeah, really cool. So then as I'm driving, I like things don't come to me this hard, but it was like, I finally understood the secret, you know what I mean? Like I finally got visual after joking about it for a long time. I finally understood the power of visualization because I could I could see the path to the thing I'm about to say so clearly. Okay. In April 2020, the three of us are going to be in trolls too. Okay. This is what I'm saying

now. It's March 2017. We do really want to put out the three years I'm putting out into the universe that the three of us will be in, I don't even want, I want to say are, but I feel like that is actually not visualization is just tense confusion. So I'm going to say will be in April 2020. And this is a sort of narrow casting for a second to our agent, Joel. Joel trolls to April 2020. I don't care if we it's of one, it's all three of us or nothing to, I don't care if it's one word said simultaneously. Yeah, we all sound the same. No one will notice. Yeah, trolls to Joel. The main troll Bimbo Bimbo turns to their friend Charlotte and says, who are those clowns and turns to us three. And we're all, we all are trolls of different shapes and sizes. And we're just like,

Bazinga. Yep. Well, my brothers are having a great time with their ignorance of the trolls franchise. I will also come in and do like some story punch ups. Yeah, I'm sorry. I haven't seen that movie quite a few fucking times. And I will just, I'm not going to say the first one needed punch up, although there was some thematic elements that I felt it could have been clarified. Okay. Like the parallels to drug addiction were like there, but I felt like one pronounce enough. Yeah, could have been a little bit hit a little bit harder. So I'm happy to do that work for you. But we will be in trolls too in April, 2020, all three McArroy brothers added to IMDB if you want, but we will be in trolls too in April, 2020. Get me Jeffrey Katz on the phone.

Get me whoever I need to talk to. Justin Timbs, Anna Kin, Kin, Kin, Kin, whoever. We're going to be in trolls too. I'm excited, man. I'm psyched out of my mind. I wish maybe maybe we hadn't talked so much gay about, you know, oh, are you gone again? We didn't talk any gay about it. We pretended to be excited about it. Now, after seeing it 30 times and saying, I'm really excited about it.

It was real to me, damn it. Let's get to, can we do questions? Can I, okay, as long as we're saying things that happened in the last two weeks. Oh, Jesus. Because we, no, because we missed an episode, we have 1,500 new emails. For the Lord, everybody.

And so I was able to kind of build a bit of a theme for this episode. Oh, that's great. Hell, yeah. That's really exciting. Okay, yeah, I'm reading some of the questions now and I can kind of, okay, this is fun, Trav, what you've made for us.

Let's get started. When I was out buying. Read the fucking, do it, yes. Hey, listen, I'm trying to just hang in there, okay? Justin's trying to read this from the sunken place. He's having a hard time. Justin's in the sunless sea. When I was out buying special edition ketchup Doritos,

a guy in the convenience store stopped me, told me I was bootiful, and told me he couldn't let me go without giving me something. He hands me a piece of paper and I think he's giving me his number. It's a coupon for a Whopper. It's a coupon for a Whopper. Do you know what this means?

Is this how kids flirt? That's from Confused Canuck. There's a lot, there's a lot here, huh? There's a lot to sort of unpack. There's a lot to unpack. There's a lot of runes and glyphs that we need to sort of decipher, I think. Yeah, I need a codex.

I need a codex for this. Yeah, so you're going to get the ketchup Doritos and like at this point, you're lucky that we continue to read the remainder of the question. Right, is that a Canadian exclusive? I haven't seen those on shelves. There's a lot of, probably,

although ketchup's not really there for Tay, like there's sort of specialty is like gravy and cheese on fries. Yeah, but that's what makes it, that's what makes it exotic. Exactly, right? I don't think, I don't think you can- It's imported from Canada.

Interesting, I don't think you can call- I mean, it's imported from Canada if you're in Canada, it's just there. I don't think you can call them the ketchup Doritos special edition. I think it's just edition. I don't think there's anything especially special about ketchup flavored Doritos.

My favorite part about this whole question is imagining that this convenience store worker needed this whopper coupon. Like this was going to be, this was when his whole plan for lunch was like, I've been saving this coupon and I'm going to treat myself to a free whopper because the most delicious whopper is a free whopper.

I see. But then- This is like when Christ went to the temple and somebody was like, here's a buck, I have a million bucks, but here's one. And then the other person was like, I only have one buck, but here's my one buck. And it was like, that's a hundred percent of your bucks.

So this is a hundred percent of the whopper coupons this person had and they were very excited about it. And so this gift was such a huge sacrifice that it means a lot to them. And this is Serendipity too, because his number is written on the coupon. But what you need to do is take that coupon, get that whopper and then if that coupon comes back to you-

There it is Serendipity too. I can officially declare that coupons are basically a curse. If you hand someone a coupon, you've basically cursed them because what this means is like now you have to, just using this as an example, but it applies to all coupons. Here's a coupon. Now you have to go to this place and buy something you weren't planning on

or feel like you're throwing away money. And one of those two things has to happen. The only way to free yourself from a coupon is after it expires, you can be like, ah, the money disappeared. Now I can throw this away with a clean conscience. But until then it's a curse. Coupons are basically a curse. If coupons are a curse, then the bed, bath,

and beyond near my house is low-key the Baba Yaga. The coupon's expired, it's not. But it says it never free me from this curse, please. Because it looks like money. It looks like fun burger money. You know what I mean? It's got like the big free and big letters and it's like get a free sandwich or whatever.

And you feel like you're throwing away money when you throw away a coupon. It's like, man, I could use that for free sandwich. But in order to redeem it, you have to go through so many hoops. And nobody remembers how many times the word for the coupon experience is when you go to Burger King and you forget. And then as you're opening your wallet to put your receipt in,

because you save all your Burger King receipts because they're nasty for taxes, you see in there the Burger King coupon. You're like, oh, no. Shit. Not like this. All I can picture too is that while I go to the counter, I would like one Whopper, please, which is like the comp.

No, just the burger. All right, that'll be like a dollar, I guess. No, it will not. Well, not today. Take this piece of garbage and give me that burger. I have a Yahoo transition that's really good here. That's going to stay on theme Travis. Very excited for it.

It was sent in by Amelia Burger. The question's not about food, but it's asked by Pee-Pee Slap. And this is actually Yahoo Answers Now, which, okay, yes. It's Yahoo Answers Now, which I'm still unsure what the distinction is between Yahoo Answers and Yahoo Answers Now, which is like, how's your branding?

Cause I use this motherfucker every single week of my life. But anyway, this Yahoo Answers Now from Pee-Pee Slap. I like that, too, cause it's like, Yahoo Answers Now. No, don't think about it. You're thinking too much. That's been the problem with Yahoo Answers is people contemplating too long. Just shoot from the hip.

This is a Rorschach test. Pee-Pee Slap asks in card games. It's an app. It's a mobile app. Oh, okay, I see. That's your answer. For when you really need Yahoo Answers Now, how many times am I gonna say Pee-Pee Slap

because you keep getting in and out? Let's find out. Pee-Pee Slap asks, how do you tell someone they are bad at Yu-Gi-Oh? No additional details, but this is great. It's a really like, here's the thing. Jeremy, you've spent $3,000 on these cool cards, but you just can't seem to beat anybody at the game.

And you need to stop. It's, this is the sunk cost fallacy. You're hoping you're gonna get the card or cards you need to put a winning Yu-Gi-Oh game together. And my friend, if it hasn't happened yet, I just don't believe it's gonna happen. Listen, kids, you just don't have the spark. You don't have the spark.

Yu-Gi had the spark. You don't have it. You don't have what it takes to go pro. You just don't have it. It being, yeah. If you don't have the blue eyes, white dragon, it's the only Yu-Gi-Oh shit I know. And I'm gonna reference it about 10 more times. Here's the thing.

Here's what they don't tell you in Yu-Gi-Oh school. It's okay to not go pro. Not everyone's gonna go pro. You can have another job and just do Yu-Gi-Oh for fun. Do it on the amateur level just cause you love it. You know what I mean? You don't have to like commit. You don't have to say like,

no, I'm gonna quit the accounting firm and just Yu-Gi-Oh full time. Now, I will say in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, I'm pretty sure the protagonist had to win certain games or else his grandpa would die. And in those games, it was actually very important that he do well in the game. And like winning isn't everything

unless your grandpa's soul is on the line. In which case I do actually think you need to pull out a W on this one, Mr. Yu-Gi-Oh. Do you think that that's what everybody in the Yu-Gi-Oh universe was playing for? Like your grandfather too? Yeah, my girl. Did they just, did they take all of our grandpas?

Is somebody just holding all of our grandpas hostage? I feel like the person who wrote this question is on the wrong end of a pretty bad grift. And it's a hustle. And I think is that their friend has been following their Yahoo answers account waiting for this exact moment. Okay.

There's a very different version of this. We're like, we see over the shoulder, the friend type like, how do I tell my friend he's not? And then the friend like turns around cause he's been watching the whole time and he's like, finally, the trap is set. Finally, it's time to spring it on him. And then the next time they play, he's like, listen,

I know you've been thinking and asking on Yahoo answers a lot lately about how I should get out of the game. And I feel like maybe if you beat me this time, I'll stop playing. And just to make it like even sillier, if I beat you, you give me a thousand. Your grandpa's soul.

Give me your grandpa's soul. Like I get your grandpa, no big deal. I'm so bad, right? And it's like, all right, Jeremy, time to put you out of your misery. And he's like, blue eyes, white dragon, blow. And you lose, I guess. I didn't watch that much of the show,

but I'm pretty sure there's one card called blue eyes, white dragon. That's just the best card. Blue eyes, white dragon, can't lose. Oh God. Man, that joke requires you to understand so many different pieces of media. This actually might be the only podcast

to which that joke lands. It also had the trademark macaroy so excited to get to make the joke, tone of voice that always rings me so heavy. Yeah, this would be like Saturday morning JCC tables. And it's just like you go and you play in some low level Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments, but Coach Eric Taylor is there.

And Tammy's there too. Maybe in this one, Tammy's like the fucking, Coach Eric Taylor can handle all the football stuff. Tammy's at the fucking Yu-Gi-Oh table, like bringing D. She needs to blow off some steam because Julie's putting her through the fucking ringer again for no reason at all. She's just trying to do her best as a mom

living here in this small Texas town. So she goes to the JCC and blows off some steam at the fucking tables and just drops that blue eyes, white dragon. This is actually a fact. Can you just imagine Coach Taylor is enjoying a nice meal at Applebee's and he turns behind him and he's like,

hey, saw you boys playing Yu-Gi-Oh. You got something wrong. I can mold. Come join my team. In Friday night lights, anytime you do not see a character on screen, they are playing Yu-Gi-Oh. You know Landry's in it.

You know Landry's deep in that shit. How did he keep a Sandy when he was in the hospital? Yeah, you guessed it. He was playing Yu-Gi-Oh the entire time. With himself, holding like a chess master. Yeah. Okay, so I don't think we need to tell them how to tell them they're bad at Yu-Gi-Oh.

I think just some of us can encourage them. Just tell them yourself. I found out this evening that my little sister eats soup with a fork. She eats all the vegetables and meat and just leaves the broth. Okay. What should I do?

That's from sad soup sibling. Fine, let's get into it. Yeah, you're just treating this soup like a sort of shabu-shabu pot where it's just like, no, you don't drink the broth. The broth is what cooks the stuff. No, the broth is where the money is. Yeah.

If you got a weird, if it feels like if you're doing this, you don't understand, like, oh, somebody spilled liquid on this meat and vegetables. Yeah, what do you do when you get a fucking nice like tomato basil soup and you like, somebody sets it down and you're like, somebody already finished this soup

because there's nothing in it. When you guys make a soup at home, do you get really paranoid and very particular when you're ladling your soup out in your bowl to make sure to leave the future iteration for yourself a very good stuffings to soup ratio? I tried to be very careful about that. You don't have that balance.

I don't do much self-souping, to be honest. It's usually something that other people prepare for me. I don't do anything. I don't have that kind of budget. Oh, it looks like that. You don't have your own saucier. My problem is that I will, I always overbit the soup.

There's not enough broth, too many bits. And what you end up with is like a suggestion of broth and a pile of bits. If that's not soup, that's just a hot pile. Yeah, then you just have a pile with some sauce. I would always prefer, like I dump out the broth with my ramen, like I don't, I want it to, before I add the seasoning packet.

So it's like highly concentrated, just the nudes, ma'am. And I nude, not nudes. Yeah, that was a rough one, Juice. Let me try again. Nudes? Not nudes. I know, but the way you said it came out really stinked. It was, got into a drag net thing.

That's not a point of reference for me, that I'm really sorry about. But I like the chunkens. Like I don't really want the, need the broth. I brought my own drink, thanks. I'm just gonna enjoy, I'm actually kind of into this. The only problem I have with the fork is I think it would be hard bite composition

to get the right bite composition. Like a spoon is much better for that, I think. A slotted spoon would be perfect. A small slotted spoon would be so choice. Can I eat those? I'm just, first of all, I want to say I'm very disappointed in you for not eating your ramen in the Japanese style. Cause...

Hey, Griff, do you want to be rich? Yeah, sure. Can you make some small slotted spoons and trademark that? Cause I think that's a very good idea. Wait, you're talking, just spinach for... You like you just said it? Yeah. That's a TM, right?

That's a TM. I guess TM. Cause I think you could have something there. But I don't want to have invented this cause it kind of goes against everything I'm against, which is just like, I think broth is very, very good. And you drink it on a cold day and your lungs feel good.

Are you gone? No, it's good. I'm thinking it's good. Sorry, you were having a good broth memory. I thought you were going to the deep place. No, I think it's starting to wear off. Oh, good. Yeah, I'm getting there, enough coffee and stuff.

I'm afraid it'll go too far the other way, Justin, you'll just be like super present all of a sudden. You'll be operating like lawn mower man-esque levels of understanding. You're going to be like fucking Superman powered by our yellow sun without that, that, that Krypton gravity or whatever. I feel like this, for me,

part of it also depends on the broth. If it's a tomato-y soup, I don't normally go in for like drinking that. Like a chickeny kind of broth. I definitely could just drink that straight. Okay, I'm glad we fucking settled that. I was really worried actually. So now it's made perfectly clear.

Well, this is why you always have to do a broth-y soup and like a crunchy grilled cheese sandwich. So you can eat the dibbums. You eat out the chunkums and then you eat the dibbums. Can I do a yahoo? Oh, soup, love soup, top notch. Now this is some revisionist history. You can't say that you don't eat the fucking broth

and then say you love soup. That's like saying I love pizza, but I scrape all the shit off the crust and I just eat like a little cheese mess. No, it's like low pressure, regular food. It's like, hey, listen, I know what a bummer it is to try to figure out what you're gonna eat or how much you're gonna eat

or how to get good proportions of bites or whatever. So we just dumped it in all of the vat for you. We're just serving it up straight. Soup is food sweatpants. This yahoo was sent by Irham Wezassa. Thank you, Irham, you're crushing it. It's from Yahoo Answers user. Sorry, something's gone wrong.

I'm gonna call him. Oh, God, it just got fucking deleted. I refreshed it. What the fuck? I just fucking refreshed the page and it got deleted. Why did it get deleted? It was totally innocuous. Well, now I gotta go to the fucking internet archive

and pull up this fucking deep web illegal question. This was not that fucking bad of a question. All right, pull that up. Let me grab the fucking cash. What the fuck, though, seriously? And the cash isn't loading. So this one, I lost it, guys. It just, it just gone.

So what, do you remember kind of what it was about? The five, give me the fucking text-only version? View source? Why is it gone? Tied on the internet. I'm literally looking at the fucking metadata. I'm looking at the fucking like meta name equals title, content, and all right, not this one.

The data's not in the bucket, is prod static, true. Sorry, guys, I gotta get into the fucking hacker code. This is garbage from a toilet. This fucking sucks. All right, here we go. It was asked by Yahoo Answers user, fucking swordfish, asks, shoes off at the door, a growing trend. I am fairly new to having a rule in our home

that everyone takes off their shoes. Recently, I have been noticing that more and more people seem to be adopting the same practice in their home. I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this trend. What do you do in your home? Are shoes allowed? What about your guests? Now that we have the rule in our home, I really like it.

What is common in your area? So another smooth transition. We're talking about doing things in the Japanese style. I think I could get into this. I don't enforce this in my home at all, and now I'm worried about sort of the grubbiness of our floors and whether people are showing disrespect at me in my sort of my zone.

Griffey, normally in the Yahoo Answers portion here, it's stuff like I put pizza crust in my butt or Garfield had pan buns. Yeah, no, but I think this is more interesting to talk about of whether we should start all sort of enforcing a shoes off policy because on any walk from point A to point B, no matter where you live, both rural and urban environments have their own sort

of danger things in an urban environment. You might step in like an old pile of soup that somebody just like dumped on the ground, but in a rural environment, you might actually step in a cow patty. And then I don't necessarily want you bringing the story of your walk into my home and sharing it with my floor. You know what I mean?

Now that I'm thinking about this, and I'm not like a, I don't think I'm particularly germaphobic at all. It's just like you could bring anything from your journey into my place. And I'm walking on the floor of my bare feet because it's my zone, it's my little kingdom. And you know what I mean?

Am I the only one here? I feel like whenever someone, I never feel like it's an imposition when people ask me to remove my shoes because I always feel like, oh, thank God, like finally I can get comfortable and really explore the space, right? Yeah.

So I would always prefer to take them off. That's why I like, you know, you walk into a place, anybody's house and they say, you know, take your shoes off and they hand you a set of pajamas to change into. Okay, so you went a little bit much there. Yeah. No, and then like you all just,

they've spread pillows on the floor and everyone just takes a nap because this is apparently we're all children now and we can't like wear fucking shoes indoors. No, I'm just kidding. This sounds great. Cause I always wear funny socks and I never show them off.

Okay, so but you didn't mean jokes then. It's like having a fourth brother. Does all the perspective mean? You walk into the house and you fucking take your shoes off and then they make you climb up a big tube and jump into a ball pit because it's apparently all big McDonald's land play place. That was you just a minute ago,

but you know this is true. Well, here's what I did Griffin. I started to zig, right? And then what I did was I zacked because, and I'll go behind the zag here for a second. I realized that my funny joke might end up sounding mean towards cultures where taking shoes off is the norm. Oh, I see.

So I zacked right out of it and made it a thing where I'm actually on board with it. Sort of a corrective zag. This has been inside the zag. Here's what I like about this. I'm Peter Graves. Welcome to inside the zag. I like a lot about this.

I think it's clean and good and respectful. I'm not gonna bring my shoes, journeys, story all over your home where your baby is like, definitely like licking the floor 24-sev. You know what I mean? But also this also introduces the concept of toilet slippers, which can be very, very exciting because you do need to put those on when you go

into that room because who knows? I think we can all agree like no matter what, anything goes in the bathroom. So you put these special shoes on and then people come out and it's like a conversation starter. I enjoyed wearing those toilet slippers that you had in there. They were fun and they were flirty and fashionable. Yeah, you convinced him.

When does it take your shoes off from the house? Now, I think to really drive this home. By the way, why the fuck did this get deleted? Who are yahoo? This is actually the most innocuous question we've ever had on this TV show. I know. Podcast, sorry.

What? Is yahoo owned by big Nike? By big Adidas? By big carpet wizards? Every all day I dream about answering yahoo answers. That got him. Nice. It's just like, I think this is dope

and I think I'm gonna actually invest in a little cubby. I'm gonna invest in a shoe cubby and when my friends come over, I can have little name plates for my friends. Hi Justin, hi Bristol, this is your special cubbies. Put your shoes in the hole. You should take it one step further Griffin. Okay.

Special cubbies for shoes. Yeah. Then special like silly socks with the non skid slip on the bottom. Those will be an option, sure. So that way it's like they can, because that's the, I have hardwood floors, I don't wanna brag, but I'm worried like people,

sometimes they have like some sort of composite, like some sort of composite or the real genuine. But I also rent, so listen, it's, you know, I'm not, it's not a brag cause it's not my house, but it's an old house, okay. But I'm worried about people's dress socks on the hardwood floor. So I wanna give them something where it's like,

hey, they look like monster feet. You know what I mean? That kind of thing. Yeah, I think that defeats the purpose a little bit, but okay, I'm with you kind of, but not really. Like indoor shoes. Okay. So slippers.

Yeah, that's what you've just described. You just didn't get your slippers. No, I'm sorry, guys, I don't want them to slip around. I wanna give them sure foot. Stickers then. Stickers. Sticky, sticky, sticky indoor shoes. Hey, everybody, get inside.

Meundies.com slash mybrother. I got a personal message here for Chambers and Dagley. And it's from- My favorite TNT show. And it's from Chris. Nobody has a favorite TNT show, so stop it. Mark Paul Gosler. And Mark Paul Giamatti. Mark Paul Giamatti.

Jesus. Chris says to Chambers- One's a lawyer. The other is a lawyer. They practice law in a court. But a different kind, well, it's the same branch of law. It's the same kind of law. They're part-

One's a little bit wackier. It's not wacky. It's just a little bit. No, absolutely not. They're just regular lawyers and they're both lawyers and they're good at their jobs and they do their best. But they're not exceptional like house. They're just regular law guys.

They're looking for love and the big, they're not looking for love. What are they doing? Are they single dads? No, I'm just hearing they're not single dads at all. They're not single dads at all. There's no kids and what do they do? They're going to, okay, so Dagley's going to the grocery

store in this episode, everybody. This is Dagley, they didn't have a case this week. There's no, okay. All right, so every week it's a new case. Well, not always. Not always, yeah. Actually, sometimes there's paperwork to do. TNT should just change their slogan to TNT, we know.

We know, come on. We have a show in which one episode a character just goes to Trader Joe's and it's the whole episode, uncut. Uncut Trader Joe's visit. Okay, so. He ends up not getting anything. No, he doesn't.

They didn't have what he needed. He left his wallet at home. That's a good episode. That's a good episode, that's drama. TNT, we know drama. We have characters. We know drama. Okay, so this.

We know drama, we've met him. Boy, gotta get this message out. This is from Chris to Chambers and Dagly and Chris says, Happy Bloorf Day to my Tomb of Bim Bam Buddies. I miss the most. I wish we didn't live about as far as three people can in the U.S.

But I'm glad we can still get together online to slowly deconstruct the English language into a series of unrecognizable sounds. Hope you both have great bee days and we get to play a bunch of blabby-o-glambs soon and often. There's a lot of challenging sort of goof-a-mups on words in this one. Yeah.

And this, we got the timeframe pretty much right on this one. So Happy Bloorf Day, Chambers and Dagly and sorry we talked more about a fictional TNT show than we did about you. But kind of part of the course. I haven't messaged the course. Probably, yeah.

You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. I got a message for PV and it's from Apple Alligator and it says happy birthday and congratulations on finishing your thesis. I'm so proud of you. I love you and cannot wait to get some Jolly Pirate again. Oh, damn.

Jolly Pirate Donuts and Euros now sometimes. What? Yeah, go in there, yep. It even added it to the sign. It's the JP Deli featuring JP Deli starring Donuts and also Euros. I mean, the family that runs that place like already kicked Donuts ass, right?

And so like when they needed a new challenge, I guess. Yeah, they've conquered Donuts. They put them in a treasure chest which makes them more appetizing and humanly possible. Yeah. Jesus guys, it's 109 p.m. right where I am and I have not eaten lunch yet and we cannot talk more about Donuts

or I'll say may actually. It's 109 p.m. here and it feels like 10 and I'm dying. Okay. The Max Fun Drive is coming up. Okay. Hey everybody, it's just a macro. There, that's how we start.

to do some really, really fun stuff. So thank you all so much. I have a problem. Last time we recorded, it was two weeks ago, or three? No. Who knows? Yes.

It was before you left the earth. Before I left. Before I moved to Mother Sea. Before you got on Nautical Time where you measure time and clicks. I created a great recurring bit where I basically just got an opportunity to talk about Guy Fieri

and see what's going on with him. And I can't remember what I called it. At first I thought it was Fieri walk with me, but that was just something hilarious that I said a long time ago in a different life before the sea mother took me. And then I thought it was Guy in the Sky but that doesn't make any sense.

No, I don't think that was it. I'm looking at them. I think it was Guy, I think it was Guy Focused. Guy Focused. No, Guy Another Day. Guy Another Day, I think it was. Yes. And then I have an important Guy Another Day update.

Although I kind of want to, this is called Guy Another Day slash Fieri walk with me because I don't want to lose either one of those. They're both very good. When I was still, this is from a listener, Travis didn't credit them. It's from Evan. Is there one anonymous?

It's Evan G. Evan G. While I was still in college, they opened a Guy Fieri restaurant on campus. In December of that year, I think, Guy Fieri himself came to my college for a book signing. He wrote a book? On a table, what?

He's sorry. He's published? On a table, behind the one Guy was using to sign the book, there was a giant ice bucket with a single Heineken in it. At Guy's command, one woman would bring the ice bucket to his signing table. He would take a little sip from the Heineken

and put it back into this ice bucket. The woman responsible for the bucket would then immediately move it back behind him and bring it back and forth whenever Guy wanted to drink his one single Heineken. This is a lot. It's a lot to take in. It's a lot to take in.

I don't wanna waste any Heineken. Just one at a time, please. So, one thing I will say is, okay, I will say this, in Guy and Mr. Fieri's defense, sometimes when you go into situations like this, the setup of the situation is not of your own creation, but just happens to be whatever the person putting the thing together thought would be good.

So, you end up in situations that feel like weird. Like, we had people, when we were shooting our TV show, that would just run bottles of water up to us sometimes, and then we would say, oh, we could have gotten our own water, but thank you very much for doing this. So, you don't always like to, but we never demanded water until later on in the shooting. We got a little bit more, really big heads.

But like, maybe he didn't craft this. I will say, though, that had someone put us in this exact scenario, we probably would have said, this isn't a great look. I would prefer you did not with this. Sorry, on the subject of Guy Fieri being published, of course he has many cookbooks under his belt. And I'd like to read some of them because they include

diners, drive-ins, and dives. What's the full title? Diners, drive-ins, and dives in all American road trip with recipes, okay? More diners, drive-ins, and dives, a drop-top culinary cruise through America. That's fine. Diners. Sorry, Gryffind, sorry, Gryffind.

It's through America's finest and funkiest joints. You're right, sorry Travis, it got cut off for me. Here's another one, diners, drive-ins, and dives. The funky finds in Flavortown, America's classic joints and killer comfort food. Just a lot, just a lot, sir. And then sort of, we start pairing down just a little bit. Guy on fire, 130 recipes for adventures

in outdoor cooking, that's a good one. And then we get Guy Fieri family food, 125 real deal recipes, kitchen tested, home approved, is a good one. And then we keep going down and down and down sort of the word slide to fun and food with Guy Fieri. And then finally, we just sort of land on Guy Fieri food is the name of this book.

Well, sorry, Gryffind, subtitled, cookin' it, livin' it, lovin' it. Guy Fieri food, and then just the next one's just gonna be like Guy food. And then finally, guslop is the final entry. These are all available on Amazon. You can get the, I'm sorry, six books, and then the seventh is the book and DVD bundle.

And just a word of warning, Guy Fieri food, cookin' it, livin' it, lovin' it, isn't a cookbook. I think it's like a dark and gritty detective novel. Cookin' it? With himself as the detective, and I would read that so fuckin' hard. Are you kidding me? Yeah.

Private Guy, Private Guy, Private Guy. Private Guy, excellent job. He's eatin' food. Private Dick would be just, what is it? Listen, listen, I don't know that. I shouldn't say these things. No, he has a very secret dick. I understand.

I've never seen Guy, hey, raise your hands if you've seen Guy Fieri's dick. I bet it's a pretty small club. From scratch, it's the unauthorized history of the food network. And I'm just entered the guy, the dawn of Guy. And they said that, there's a whole section about how he was a little green when he started,

in that he didn't really know what a diner was. He thought it was like code for a hamburger restaurant. Cause he didn't grow up around a lot of diners. And also when he were filling one of the early episodes, a chef referred to chicken soup as Jewish penicillin. And Guy Fieri just lost his fucking mind cause he thought the chef made that joke up. So he was just like losing it

at this hilarious, hilarious joke. So that's been Guy in the Sky slash Fieri walk with me slash Guy another day. All right, Joseph, do the next question. You got it, brother. So my friend will call him Oswald. Has been telling us for the last decade or so that he is horribly, deathly allergic to red meat

and that his throat will close up and he will die if he consumes any. The other day I walked into the room and he was chomping down on some chips and queso. The kind of, I know this is a typo which we don't normally highlight, but the question asker did type the kind of quest with beef in it.

And I know they mean queso, but I prefer that. I like to think when I dive into a bowl of hot pepper with cheese, it is kind of a quest for me. That is, and the reward for that quest is going to be toilet time. I checked the container he got the queso in and it told me it was, in fact, true beef. Season three.

With Mark, Paul, Oswald. Fuckin' Paul Tiamati. One's a cop, the other's a cop. They're both by the book. Are we doing a true blood thing? I thought we were doing a true detective. Paul Tiamati's a vampire. Mark, Paul Gossler is also a vampire,

but very straight laced. Super cool. Okay, so in fact, he was eating true beef. He isn't dead and it has me wondering, what the fuck is going on? And how would I go about confronting Oswald about this weird thing? That's from beefing in Baltimore,

a name that Travis made up. Everybody's got to get the drop on someone. Like, everyone's got, it's an exciting feeling, I know. When you think in your mind that you have an opportunity to get the drop, it's so exciting and I get that. But I don't understand necessarily why you need to like put your buddy on blast.

I don't know why this is like, oh boy, time to really put Oswald in this place. Here, okay, here's why just to give the question to ask you a little bit of credit, this isn't like someone saying, oh, I'm gluten intolerant. And when you really press them about it, like they just don't want to eat bread or whatever,

but they're just making that. Why would someone be like, yeah, red meat, it will kill me if I, like, why would you say that if it weren't true? Maybe you live in a fairly small town and you're only two restaurant options are Sizzler and BW3s. And of course this person wants to go to BW3s

and get those good hot chicken wings. And so this is their thing. But that's just a lie. Okay. Well, maybe they're not allergic to ground beef. And I don't know, there's a lot of different explanations. Do you think what they grind it? Sorry, they grind it and then it's no longer an allergen?

Is that what you're suggesting? Yeah, it changes sort of the, it lets out whatever, you know, carbon dioxide is just sort of released when you grind up the meat and the carbon dioxide goes up into the atmosphere and makes the ozone layer, I think or something. This is one of the problems with 20-grifting. We didn't really think through it,

but a lot of people started griffs in 2015, but we didn't necessarily have an off-ramp for all those griffs, you know? Some of you might, we told you the con was off, but like for many of you, the con may still will indeed be on. Yeah. And you just don't know how to get out of it.

It wasn't like January 1st, 2016, people like, should all the quaintance be, I can eat red meat by the way, got you motherfucker. And days of old langzai. That would have been, by the way, you didn't need us to help you find that. That would have been amazing. That would have been really good.

And you all should have done that. If you didn't do that, then it's on you. I would like to paint you a picture that makes this all make sense to me. It's so clear to me now. All of the elements have been uncovered and I can see everything. I see how it all connects.

What happened was someone who did not know Oswald's allergy bought him some of the most delicious queso they had ever had. And Oswald accepted as a gift because Oswald was too polite to say, are you trying to kill me? And there it sat in Oswald's fridge. And on the same day this queso was about to expire,

Oswald realized their EpiPen was also about to expire and they thought, well, let's not let either go to waste. And so in one hand chips, in left hand EpiPen. Okay, so you get a good dunk. And it would probably be a pretty fucking good dunk, I think. Like if you need to fucking like, if after consuming it,

you have to also just pop in the bezzouar to like sort of nullify the meat poisons. It's probably like a pretty good bite of food, I bet. A lot of people pay a lot of money to go to like a restaurant that is certified to serve you fugu fish. And this is like this experience, just for like a, for a whopper, you know what I mean?

How much of the whopper would you eat, would you risk eating before you put the EpiPen? I would try to cram basically the whole, the whole kit and kabut, I think. As much as I could. Yeah. Why would you lie about me? Maybe they don't know, maybe they don't know.

Maybe there were, fucking Rachel went to the doctor when she was like seven and they were like, she was sick with something. They're like, oh, well it's because you can't ever have chocolate. And so for like fucking 14 years, like Halloween's, no chocolate, no candy, like she would go and go trick-or-treating

and I guess just throw it all in the dumpster or something. And then like when she was 20, they're like, oh, no, guess we wanged it. You can have chocolate and you could have had chocolate this whole time. And maybe this person was told they can't have red meat. So he just didn't eat red meat for a long time. This is a great, you have great news for them.

Great news. Beef it up. Go beef crazy. This is, you get to be the messenger for probably the best news this person will ever receive in their entire life, which is go have a beef party. You've earned it.

Do you think there could be something in the melted cheese that like neutralizes the toxins? Jesus Travis. Yes, definitely. Jesus Travis, of course. I'm a scientist. No, yes, you are though. There's a tick called the Lone Star tick

that if it bites you, you can develop an allergy to red meat. Horrible news. Thank you for that one. Such a thing. So keep, I guess, I guess I just said that so you would know it. So keep your head on a fucking swivel, I guess. And be sure to interview ticks

to make sure they're not that kind. Cause that would sure be the pits, huh? You know what, allergies are weird though. Allergies can come and go. You never know. They're really good. Hold on, hold on, Justin. Hold on.

Griffin, sit back. This is Justin's type five on allergies. Hold on, let him go. Okay, here we go, Justin. Sorry, go nuts. Let me just tell you guys a little something that I co-host medical history podcast called Solvents.

So I'm half a doctor pretty much. And let me just say that like, refuse to have allergies. This is what I'm saying to you. Do not let yourself be bound by your allergies. Just refuse to have them. I used to be allergic to cats and I wanted a sweet cat of my own, of my very own. You know what I did?

I just decided to not be allergic anymore. And today I'm here to tell you that I'm not allergic to cats anymore. And I cured myself of my allergies by will. I'm not gonna lie to you. A lot of people lie to you and say you can cure your allergies with diet and different things like that

or crystals or whatever, herbs. I love every time we take one step closer to having a cult. I love it, you know? It makes me feel like we're finally doing something. How many cults started as a joke? And then people just kept coming and then they're like, I guess we need guns. Cause this is getting very, this got very, very good.

There's 30 of us, I guess we need guns. We should get guns. Can I do one last Yahoo real quick? We're running pretty long, but oh my God, my desk is tilted 45 degrees sideways. Justin, we've only been recording for 20 minutes. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Don't fuck with me right now, please.

Not like this. I just had to change my clock on my computer cause it was three hours slow. Oh geez. Oh God. Real quick, this is a level 9000. Yeah, drew drew drew Davenport joint. So you know it's gonna be good.

It's from Yahoo Answers user dedicated to evolution who asks, when you go to the bathroom in a movie theater, can you ask a stranger what you missed? Now let's pretend that run P is an after doesn't exist and hasn't solved this problem for us. But I, when I read this, I guess they're talking about just you pop back into the theater and you sit down next to somebody.

It's like, hey, what happened? And I think that's unacceptable. You do that shit in the draft house and you get sent the fuck home. I think there could be an attendant, like this is the only sort of bathroom attendance sort of situation that I would be cool with where you go in, you use the potty

and then you go and you're washing your hands while you're washing your hands. They're like, okay, so what did I miss? And say you were seeing a rival and it's just like Amy Adams and Hawkeye. They had a conversation in the dark. All right, cool. Thank you.

Yeah, Griffin, I do want to point out, I love this, but I do want to point out this would require a human being to know concurrently what's happening in every movie at the same time. Yeah. No, they would memorize. What are you seeing? You're seeing Logan. Okay, the 745 showing.

So right now, all right. Okay, let me think about it. Let me play it in my mind palace. And okay, I think I'm pretty sure Professor X and Wolverine just had a conversation in the dark. Yeah, I would much prefer they were like, why is it always that? Because half of every movie that comes out,

and I've been watching a lot of movies because I've just been consuming a lot of content because I live at home forever now, it's just half of all movies, it's just conversations in the dark now. And I saw a rival and it was like, most of that movie was just people having dark room convos. Have you guys also gotten very aware of movies?

As long as we're talking about this, since you've had babies, have you come very aware of movies that are unable to properly mix sound and devil? Oh my God, in heaven. It's just like Amy Adams is like, I don't know, I don't know how to have a communication with these aliens.

And Jeremy Rear is like, yeah, it's weird, isn't it? Just shouting and yelling at Amy Adams. There's a space explosion. I've been rewatching West Wing and every episode ends like the most dramatic and everyone's like, yeah, we're going to war. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Plays and Twin Peaks is the worst about it.

Twin Peaks is like very, like Agent Dale Cooper and then we did solve the mystery. And then like the sound of the devil. This is screaming. It's like, well, this is pretty spooky, but mainly because I have to watch it with a toddler now. Thank you, David. I think it'd be better if the usher in the bathroom

just pulled open his vest and he had a small screen in there and it would just sink to wherever you left off. That would be better and more believable, I think to me. If you could just pull open his vest and there was a screen. This is a thing that I've actually in live theaters, I've seen before that one, there's a screen out in the lobby, but also I've seen or heard rather,

they pipe the sound through the bathroom. So while you're on the bathroom, you can still hear the play going on? See, I could have used this when we first, you remember when we first saw Hamilton and I very much, very almost nearly did shit my pants at during it, because I did not want to miss a second of our friend Lynn's good play.

And so, I just- He worked very hard on it. He worked really, really hard on it. And so like, by the time Battle Yorktown rolled around, my world was almost turned upside down. And I was very much- My underwear was turned inside out. The shorts turned inside out.

But I was very much like, okay, yeah, can we please just beat the British already? Go. Do it. Here's machine guns. Here's machine guns, just go. We got to sneak up on them and reconnoiter the hills. And then we're going to come up with a plan.

No, just shoot them up, please. I don't want to be the first person to ever shit their pants at Hamilton. Please. You wouldn't have been Griffin, don't worry. Please, hurry up. Mr. Washington, I'm not sure we can do it. You can.

You can't do it. And then we won the war. Oh, thank God. Time for your intermission. Now, here's what we did after the war. Please, please, please, please, God, please. No, come on, please. This has been our comedy podcast.

My brother, my brother and me. If you have some free time, that we have so many delightful offerings for you, I guested on Court Appointed, which is a legal show explaining the law. I guess it was sort of a co-branded episode with another show I do, Sawbones. And it was about HIPAA and patient privacy.

That show's called Court Appointed. You can find it on iTunes. Also, the Grifter and I did something really fun. We appeared on a YouTube show called Drawfee. It's D-R-A-W-F-E-E. And we helped create the hottest new board game. And it's really fun as we sort of created it with the Drawfee fellas.

They drew our dumb board game idea, which is actually a really sick board game idea by the way. But just check YouTube for Drawfee and you'll find it. As long as you're on YouTube, I also, my friend and co-host of Trends Like These, Brent, has made a party game called Use Your Words. And me and Tybee and some friends and Brent played it when he was in town visiting me.

And we filmed the whole thing and he did some Q and As in there. So you can see us play the game and try it out. Just go to his YouTube channel, Brentelfloss, and you can find it there. It was super fun. It's coming out soon. Use your words.

And he hasn't asked me to plug this or anything. I'm just very proud of him and of the product. And it's really good. And of course, you can also check out my film review series, Carry On. Ah, Jesus. Still suck at episode two. I need to record episode three.

It's hard to get over that, huh, man? It really is. But you can- What was episode two? Episode two was Copper Mountain, a two-hander with Jim Carrey and Alan Thich that contains a very little story. And it's mostly, it's actually called

Copper Mountain Club Med Adventure, or Club Med Experience. Are you shitting me? I am not. It is both movie and infomercial for Club Med. It contains nine different musical numbers in a 45-minute long made-for-TV movie. Oh, boy.

It is a real treat. You can watch all our shit at macroshows.com. We have all our podcasts and stuff there. You can also go to- I put Carry On. I don't know. You should. If you want to get the three Fs,

you can put it on macroshows.com. Yeah. Really cool. Actually, a listener sent me the next four movies. So I have them all sitting next to me. Well, don't please, don't spoil what they're gonna be or talk about Carry On anymore. Okay.

Well, it's a film by film review of Jim Carrey's career. It's a very exciting new property. You can also go to maximumfund.org and check out all the great shows on maximumfund.org. And we're gonna be talking a lot about maximum fund over the next couple of weeks during the Max Fund Drive, which kicks off Monday,

March 20th and runs for two weeks. And we're so happy to be a part of this network. And I'm so grateful to all of you for helping support it. I also want to thank John Roderick in the Long Winters for the use of our theme song as a departure off the album Putting the Days to Bed. Juice, you got to hang out on that big, beautiful ocean with John Roderick.

Yes, never enough time, but he's a solid dude as always. He's the best dude. Anything else? Yeah, we also should say one, we have a TV show on CISO.com. If you haven't already checked that out, they're constantly like every Monday putting up new bonus content.

The deleted scene, or was it the bloopers for episode two is 17 minutes long? It's a lot. But so check that out, CISO.com. And then also we're gonna be in Portland this weekend doing another show. Oh, shit, yeah, fuck, I can't believe that's now. So if you're gonna be at the show

and you want us to do a question, make sure you email it to us with Portland show in the subject line. And just to be clear, we didn't organize this show, so we're not sure about meet and greet or anything like that. So we can't promise anything, but we are gonna have posters made at the show.

So... Well, they'll be made before. They're not gonna be like printers running while we do our unique brand of comedy up on stage. Yeah. And that's done first by Emily, who is at Corrupted Jim on Twitter. They're really great, I'm very excited.

Yeah, I can't wait. You want that final? Yeah, yeah. Sent them by a couple folks, actually. Level 9000, Yadru, Druidru, Downport, and Christopher Lockhart. Thank you both. It's from Yahoo Answers user,

Stevan, asks, will the Loch Ness monster get into Christian heaven? What are you, stuffed in McElroy? I'm Travis McElroy. I'm Griffin McElroy. This has been my brother, my brother, me. Kiss your dad, square on the lips. I want to say, that I want to.

MaximumFun.org. Comedy and culture. Artist owned. Listener supported. Hey, Ben. What's that, Adam? MaximumFun has asked us to make a new promo, and I think the best way to do it

is to tell people what our show's about. Oh, that's pretty easy. The Greatest Generation is a hybrid podcast that guarantees you a good night's sleep with a combination of both latex foam and memory foam. No. It's actually a show that allows you to skip the post office by printing out your own postage.

No. It is a podcast that allows you to design websites by using award-winning templates. Ben, it is most definitely not that. The Greatest Generation is a Star Trek podcast by two guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. New episodes come out every week on MaximumFun

or wherever you download podcasts. Thank you.
