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, and Me, an advice show for the modern era on your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-est brother, Travis McElroy. Why are we making the long pauses happen? My pauses because I couldn't remember what I said there.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Mine was because I wanted an anticipatory ASMR tingles. My name is I'm Griffin, I'm the sweet baby brother Griffin McElroy, and it's time to retire, I guess, my honorific. It's time to hang up the fucking my old, my now old person hat that an old person wears, no longer 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy. The Forbes Goon Squad came and they fucking smashed in my door, crashed all my windows, they knocked over a load-bearing wall, and just came in my fucking house, and they took my fucking plaque away, and I immediately dried up and aged like the guy at the end of The Last Crusade, so bad. Griffin, what did it like to be in the No Man's Land,
Starting point is 00:01:52 betwixt 30 under 30 and 30 over 30? It's strange to be here. I'm sorry, Travis, I want to play with you in this joke, but I'm just thinking about how bad I missed my very good plaque that I used to have that Forbes came and they fucking took it away from me, and I was like, but wait, don't you want to hear about the latest media trends? And they were like, you don't know fucking shit. And then they hit me with the plaque twice on my back. Like a folding chair in a wrestling game, and I fell to the ground. And when I fell to the ground, of course, both my knees shattered because I'm an old man now, and so that's where I'm at. I'm actually recording this, actually, it's April 15th. I have two sweet days left of
Starting point is 00:02:38 sweet 20-something vitality, and I don't know what to fucking do with it. Here's how I spent my last 48 hours of 20-something vitality. I just watched a giraffe fall out of another giraffe, and people were like so psyched. You don't know about this fucking giraffe? No, you say that. There's been a nonstop live stream of this giraffe who's about to give birth for like a month, and it's like, that's how you're spending your day, huh? Okay. But then I did want to be part of the zeitgeist because I heard this giraffe was finally popping, and I watched a giraffe fall out of another giraffe with my last few precious moments of 20-something vitality. I don't know how I feel about that. It's not good. It's just really wet. It's really, really gummy.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I think the good thing about going from your 20s to your 30s is like, when you're at the end of your 20s, you feel like, oh god, my 20s are over. I'll never be the same. And then when you get to your 30s, like, oh, these things are just beginning. It's like putting on a fresh pair of sleep pants. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a really apt comparison, though. Yeah. Because it's like, that's it. Can we get back to privacy issues with giraffes, please? Because that's what I want to do, right? Everybody is very upset if anybody, like, hacks their webcam. But we're all fine, just like, scoping the giraffes. Yeah. It's a very intimate time. Yeah. This is really troubling me. Yeah, it's a real problem. Can you put a GoPro on a baby giraffe
Starting point is 00:04:01 in utero so you get that first person like, whoa, that giraffe waterslide kind of effect going? I just, I really don't want to think about or talk about the giraffe anymore. Okay, that's fine. I just, boys, I'm struggling a little bit, because I look back at 20-year-old griffin is gaffcated. You're talking to your two older brothers. Yeah, I'm zero-kitty. What are you, oh, griffin. Oh, you're so old. Fuck off. Yeah. I just, I've had to deal with almost four years of like, even if I sleep eight hours, waking up feeling like shit. And my back hurts if I sit in a chair wrong, griffin. See, I still have that coming, though, and I don't want it. I don't want to be achy all the time. I actually have, can I tell you a new thing that I'm,
Starting point is 00:04:46 this is my new, my new like, bring me off a fucking teaser trailer of what 36 is going to be like for me. No, this is actually a really good life plan. I've been overweight my whole life, right? And then I, in my mid 30s, I started to feel some of those like age run down kind of feelings. And so I just started to like, take up Taekwondo and try to exercise and eat better and start losing weight. So my new thing is this, don't be fit when you're young. And if you, if you're unhealthy when you're young, and then start getting healthy as you age, you can keep, I plan to keep a perfect equilibrium. Like as my body grade, I will also train it. You've been training for your whole life on Degobah with Yoda on your back, and then you've
Starting point is 00:05:40 done some Taekwondo to drop the Yoda, and all of a sudden you can jump a little bit higher. And also Degobah is falling apart and has hair in weird places, like to complete the metaphor. Tell me fair, Justin, that is what Degobah is. I've seen the movie. Yeah, it's a lot like what Degobah is. Um, all right, well, I'll keep that. I mean, I've probably put on about 20 pounds since I had a baby. So that's good. That's good to know. I'm James. I'm fucking cramming that Degobah. You just got to put your baby on your back and do some somersaults and swing through the forest. Baby would fucking love that. Are you kidding me? It's like I'm like a big fun jungle gym ride. God 30 though. I can't record this podcast right now. I need to go. No, fuck you guys. I need to go
Starting point is 00:06:21 get on my razor scooter for one last time before I have to go throw it into a volcano on Monday. But to be fair, when you do that, you will end the curse. So, yeah, it will all be free. It's just so sad. I know while Griffin tries to recuperate, you know what? I got a Starbucks double shot energy Mexican mocha today because I thought that would be an enjoyable cheat day beverage for this week. I'm getting some severe tackiness on my palate that is making a locution a challenge. Well, what's the what's the what's the next steps? Yeah, there's no and so. Do you want to pause the recording for 45 minutes for you to do like a flush? To quick cleanse? Yeah. Guys, I'm just looking at the box in the corner of my office where all my
Starting point is 00:07:10 UDO cards are and I just know I'm going to have to get rid of them on Monday. Well, good news. Actually, when you when 12 01 a.m. Central, they just disappear. The forest people are going to come and take my UDO cards and my plaque, my great plaque. Damn it. Why would they need a dummy plaque? You have 48 hours. I appreciate them recognizing my status as a media mogul mogul. But like, you did it just a couple months before you took my took my whole life away. I just what is there? I mean, I guess 40 under 40, but I'm going to have to do some like, I'm going to have to really change up my shit. Like, they're not going to do it. Griffin's just really good at media again. No, I have to like, it opened up an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn that's like fucking
Starting point is 00:07:56 epic that people like can't stop talking about my Puttanesca. Griffin, he's transformative. He's transformed his whole scene. He used to be a good podcast boy. And now he invented this Puttanesca that's so spicy, you got to try it 40 under 40. He did it. But even that's less prestigious because there's 10 more fucking people on the list. I don't want to share it with them. So are we about ready for questions? Are we doing a show or is this just a fair piece? It's just I'm going to be I'm going to be distracted the whole show, but yeah, let's go ahead and do it. I mean, my advice is just going to be live live while you can. No day, but today get out there. Okay, so here is the first question. Today, I was leaving my apartment to
Starting point is 00:08:35 get coffee at a nearby coffee shop. Good place for it. And my roommate was leaving at the same time to go to work. We walked out together. But when we reached the sidewalk, she said have to walk separate. And then she walked to the other side of the street and continued to walk the next three blocks in the same direction as me at the same pace. We've lived together for several years. And I wasn't whether it wasn't one of those awkward situations where we said goodbye, only to find out we were walking in the same direction, which is the worst. I told her I was going to the coffee shop. Am I good? I don't think she's good. I think you're okay. That's from alone walking the same
Starting point is 00:09:13 way in the Bay area. Okay, I would like to say to your roommate's credit, you said your roommate is walking to work, right? So this is probably like a routine. This might be like your roommate walks to work every morning. And that's like their time of like mindful walking meditation of like, this is me. I walk at my pace. I'm thinking about myself. I don't want to talk to another human being. I'm just like zoning in and pumping myself up for the day. You know what I mean? And so like, they just might really need that time. Travis, very charitable, very generous of you. Very nice picture you've painted. Very nice picture you've painted. It is buckwild to think that that information could be
Starting point is 00:10:02 absorbed through context and not related directly. It is buckwild to say like, listen, I'm going to veer off. I'm sure they'll assume I'm meditating on my coffee shop. You have heard hoof prints and shouted zebra thinking that this person's like a fucking bike messenger who needs to get psyched for the fucking premium rush or whatever. I think it's, even if that's the case, don't be rude. It's rude what you've done here, I think, a little bit. Maybe a little rude. Maybe just a tad rude. A prequel to premium rush called economy rush. And it's about foot messengers who don't use bikes. And it takes like eight times as long for your packages to arrive.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I would love to watch JGL just like running a lot and getting like very sweaty in a hot city. The 10th delivery, he's just casually walking. I ordered this six hours ago. You think when he, when JGL finished premium rush and he was watching on the screen and he thought, man, I bet this movie is going to be mentioned by one podcast on two separate episodes. I think there's one podcast that's going to fuck off. Yeah, I think there's one podcast that's really going to get into this flick. Can I just say though, it's a good flick.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I've never seen it. You've never seen it? No. Good flick. I've heard my comedy blind and ignorant. If you can't watch, I watch JGL in anything. Anything. I've only seen a clip where he's about to get hit by the car, but then another car hits that car.
Starting point is 00:11:33 And it's, I saw that and I was like, I don't want my Joseph to be imperiled. You know what I mean? There is, there are, it is rated PG-13 for multiple scenes of Joseph Gordon Levitt peril. It's not, yeah, I couldn't, I'm not interested. No, thank you. No, thanks. Couldn't, I watched Looper and the whole time I was like, my Joseph's imperiled. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I fucking can't do it. I know Travis had problems with that movie that I don't want him to start unpacking again. But my problem with that movie is sometimes people pointed their guns at JGL with intent to harm. And I just, I don't fuck with that. Are you kidding me? No way. This is not a cool thing, I think that you're roommates. It's not a nice thing of him to do.
Starting point is 00:12:16 It's like, I get, I get like, and I'm not saying like, if you are a person who like, needs that time to like recharge or, or whatever, or like, I get all that. But I also think that this is also just kind of a rude thing that happens. So, well, because the problem is, as you guys pointed out, it was not like, the roommate had every opportunity to say like, cool, just so you know, like, I have a routine in the morning and I kind of need to stick to it. It's going to throw off my whole day. Because now what's going to happen is you have to unpack this when you're both home the next time.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Like, hey, so what was that? Yeah, I know. How about you also, maybe they were checking the geocache? That's another possibility. But why wouldn't they take you with them on their fucking geocache adventure? Geocaching is more fun with friends. It is more fun with friends. Can I drop this Yahoo on y'all?
Starting point is 00:13:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's from Aaron Keese. Thank you, Aaron. It's Yahoo Answers user Frosty who asks, What sports did William Shakespeare like? Oh, good one. I have an English project to do and I can't find any answers to this question. Can someone tell me with a reference site?
Starting point is 00:13:29 I feel like if you get on Yahoo Answers for help with a school project, you're basically like, while you're typing in yahooanswers.biz or whatever the fuck, you are telling yourself, I'm okay with a D. Like, I'm fine getting a D on this one. I just need it done. So definitely Quidditch. Okay. That makes for, if not, if I think that was during wizard times.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Yeah. So definitely Quidditch. Yeah. Definitely Quidditch. Maybe chariot raising. I mean, he definitely, I mean, he's probably, here's the thing, I'm not familiar with all of the works of William Shakespeare. I've seen Romy and Juliet, the movie obviously with Leonardo DiCaprio,
Starting point is 00:14:10 and I like loved it is very poignant in that one. And that's it. I'm actually, I want you to know, as someone who worked at a Shakespeare company, I'm trying to run through my head and think is there a sports one? Yeah. Is there a show, I mean, there's wrestling in, I think, two gentlemen of Verona or two nobles, that's just like, that's just like, that's just like horsing around. It's just horse play.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Yeah. All right. Let's just spin things. Let's just spitball. All right. Falconry. Falconry. They had Falcons.
Starting point is 00:14:41 They had gloves. Is that a sport though? Are the Falcons like catching balls and flying through? They're usually a Frisbee, but they are, they are doing that. Damn. That's a tricky needle of thread though. Because then you have to throw that Frisbee in a very particular way so that the, your Falcon intercepts it, but is not intercepted by the Frisbee.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Probably archery, right? That's probably a sport back then. Football's been around for fucking ever. Archery was just there day to day back then. Like you had to like, in London or Avon over Stratfordshire or whatever the fuck. Perfect. Nailed it. I think you, like, I think you had to be fucking strapped with a long bow.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Chavis, Chavis has suggested now, are we talking about a football Norte Americano or are we talking about football and the way the rest of the world says. The origins of football, and this is absolutely true, it used to be played between two towns and the field was the size of the distance between the towns. And so the two towns would just like, challenge each other. And it was everyone from this town versus everyone from this town. And it was so incredibly violent. People would like routinely die playing, like they'd get like trampled and beaten to death.
Starting point is 00:15:57 But it's been around for ever. He was more of a gentle soul though. I don't know he'd be into that. And again, you didn't really answer my question if we're talking about the game with the round ball that you kick around a whole bunch or the game with the brown sort of funny shaped ball. Brown funny shaped ball, I believe. I believe they use their hands.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Now this is a lie because as everybody knows, Joe Montana invented football as we know it today. Joe Montana is eternal. Oh, Joe Montana is an eternal person. Mm-hmm. They named Montana after him. Make sure he is still a Joe Montana. Joe Montana. Yeah, 60 years old looking like Joe Montana.
Starting point is 00:16:36 So I think William Shakespeare would have been super in that. Like I think he would. I think he'd be a Cowboys fan. No, I think he'd love the fucking pig skin, dude. Like just I think he would pick the most underdog team. He would. Oh, it's the Ravens. What am I even talking about?
Starting point is 00:16:51 He would be a fan of the dude. His fucking classic work, the Raven. Exactly, Griffin. Thank you. Man, it's not often you get to be wrong about sports and poems in one episode. No, I can say that fool liked birds. He wrote about birds a lot. And that seems like a shit based on literary works.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And I know he didn't fucking write the Raven. Yeah, it was Wordsworth. My favorite, my favorite sonnet of Shakespeare is it goes a little bit like this. It's like, boom, I put it in the hoop like slam. I heard the crowd screaming out jam. I swear, I'm telling you the facts because that's how I'd be Horatio. That's nothing. Can you invent Shaq?
Starting point is 00:17:39 I wrote Shaq into existence. So we didn't even talk about basketball. And I'd love to explore basketball real quick because I'm loving the idea of him wearing a fucking tank top like shirts and skins. Let's go. I'm wearing a tank top. I'm wearing some comfortable shorts. Let's settle this on the court.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Sometimes I'm so sad that I don't have millions of dollars in constant access to a production team because all I want now is exactly totally now modern Lakers basketball game, except instead of Jack, it's William Shakespeare sitting courtside, throwing his hands up in the air, yelling at the rafts and fucking throwing stuff on the court and being ejected. God, that's I just am picturing it's the fucking funniest shit. Oh, I'm a nerd. I bet he did.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Did he have game? Do you think Shakespeare? Yeah, like if you played basketball, do you think he could like, do you think he would perform well? Like, do you think he's sort of a dog? Like, do you think he's sort of a dunksman or like a three points? He'd be great at like, athletically, I'm sure he was like off the charts, right? Yet physically, the man was like hustling.
Starting point is 00:18:47 History is unclear on the nature of Shakespeare's true identity. It may have been seven or eight people. There's a lot of different theories. But anyway, he was performing a lot. If you're seven or eight people, he's his own basketball team. He was his. Hi, we're William Shakespeare. They all run out tonight.
Starting point is 00:19:06 The Harlem Globetrotters square off against the William Shakespeare. That would be a bloodbath. Are you kidding me? I would be a bloodbath if I got in the court with William Shakespeare, because back in the what the 1500s, like all the people were just a lot like their bones were much, much smaller than our bones. But also like everybody also had the flu a little bit always kind of. And so like, I think I could, I think I could like,
Starting point is 00:19:29 I think I could really fucking break William Shakespeare's ankles out there. Not at not Michael's secret stuff. Yeah, not literally, but maybe literally accidentally. I would do a like a roll on him that would like be super, super sick and everybody would cheer. And in that sense, I would break his ankles. But I think he may, if he overcorrects too much, his old 1500s sickly bones might just be like, done, done.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I've done it to the barred. The good one, the good barred. That's how I be barred. That's how I be shake. Okay. All right. I'll allow it. So my roommate left town to go see her family for Easter weekend
Starting point is 00:20:12 and left me in charge of her plant. She prides herself on gardening skills, but I seriously doubt she's ever taken care of an indoor plant before. So I watched her. Yeah. This is now mode since I watched her over water it twice in the two days just before going home. And now it's starting to die.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I told her to stop watering it, but she wouldn't listen because, quote, I have a cactus and I don't know how to take care of real plants. Wow, Jesus. You okay? Let's stop. Hold on. Let's stop.
Starting point is 00:20:44 You already put them on melt mode. You don't need to keep going. Now I know I think this is a quote from her friend. No, I think this is, I think this is like, I have a cactus that don't know how to take care of real. But I think you're trying to over melt mode this one. And I listen to question asker. Their roommate won't listen to question asker because
Starting point is 00:21:07 a question asker says they have a cactus and don't know how to take care of real plants. But they said that's in quotes and I don't think this person actually said, I have a cactus and don't know how to take care of real plants. I think this is about major melt mode. Roommate. Okay. When question asker said, when QA said to roommate, you are over watering it.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Roommate said, you have a cactus and don't know how to take care of real plants. That make sense? Okay. Okay. Now I'm stuck caring for this stupid dying plant. And she's going to think I'm the one who killed it. She comes back on Wednesday. How do I tell her she was the one who killed the plant
Starting point is 00:21:43 without destroying her weirdly inflated and fragile ego? Please keep name anonymous. I've been trying to get her to listen to the show and I don't want to recognize the situation. Yeah, you don't fucking think she'll pick up on this one? Please just gonna, yeah. Listen, we have a decent size following at this point, but I don't think there's two pairs of roommates who have this exact situation.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah, as this was happening, she was like her eyes started to wander over to that dead ass brown plant she left in the corner like, wait a minute. Valerie, do you think that this is like a throw mama from the train situation where like throw plant out the apartment window? Well, hold on, hold on, wait, hold on, wait, time out. I have to call Mark Marin and say that someone on a podcast finally reverence throw mama from the train.
Starting point is 00:22:24 We did it, podcasters. We did it. I also, I know that there's also a, we did every movie, everybody. That's every movie. We wrecked a Hitchcock one too that I can't remember, but that the roommate knew exactly what she was doing over watering the plant and then leaving you to take care of it because she felt burdened by taking care of this plant
Starting point is 00:22:42 and no one longer wanted to have to care for it, but she didn't want to be blamed for it. I think there's a way to save the plant. I'm not much of an, I'm not much of an arboreal. Like a fundraiser? No, I mean, you got to get some of that water out of it, if you over watered it. I think your two options are like snake venom.
Starting point is 00:23:02 You try to suck the water out of the plant. I don't know what that looks like. Maybe you uproot it real quick and you get down on those roots and you just like go to fucking town. Other options, you got to dry it out. Put it in the microwave for maybe like, I'm talking about four seconds at a time. Just like beep one, two, three, four, check it.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Like a, well, what the fuck are you doing? Pop tight your microwave for like 10 seconds at a time or you toast it in the pop tart. Who has the time Griffin? That's how you get to 30 and you haven't accomplished anything with your life. Pivot, pivot, pivot, Travis. I just, I just put jokes outside in its special chair.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Okay. Jokes is outside. Jokes can't hear you in here. The serious room, okay? You, now are you now or have you ever microwave? Pop tart. Of course not, of course not. I just know that on the package, that is an option they present.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Okay. What a relief. Jesus. Yes, we got back in jokes. Listen, I'm all joking aside. No. Listen, I might get jokes in or out. Jokes has feelings. Jokes, come back in but just stay quiet for one second. It's fine jokes. Come on in.
Starting point is 00:24:22 It's fine jokes. He said it's fine. Now there's a fucking weird atmosphere because jokes is like thought we were talking about jokes. No, that's not right. Jokes, jokes, jokes. That's not it. Hey, bro grabs? Get bro grabs with jokes. Oh, that's soft.
Starting point is 00:24:39 That's my favorite after school movie. I don't think, I don't think, I don't think you, this situation is upsetting me in such a deep, deep way and I don't know why. I think I get upset whenever anybody thinks they're hot shit at anything that they're not hot shit at and then they like make other people try to feel bad because they're hot shit,
Starting point is 00:24:59 which is what it sounds like your roommate has tried to do. But like, I also feel bad for this sweet plant. It didn't ask for this. It didn't want this. There's nothing to be done. I mean, there's nothing to be done. Maybe just try to remind us just a plant and she can just get more. You can go get more, go get another plant.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Yeah, could get a better plant. I'm kind of both like, the thing that I'm taking a back by from this question is, I didn't realize the plant could die in the span of two days. I thought it would take way longer. No, they're like super fragile. I imagine if you work at like a, there's a florist around the corner from my house.
Starting point is 00:25:34 I imagine they're just constantly fucking screaming, running around their like office all day, just like, oh my God, now this one. Oh, this one now. Oh, shit. This, oh, fuck me, fuck. Could you not just go buy an identical plant? It's not like your roommate's going to get home
Starting point is 00:25:49 and be like, this plant's acting completely differently. Yeah. This plant has a completely different personality than when I left. Unless. I taught this plant how to sit. Unless. Unless.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Unless. It's a, it's like a, like a Venus flytrap that does have a little bit of personality. If it's a tulip, it's a big tulip, and you watered it wrong and it dies, fuck it. Go buy or don't buy, just get a tulip. Nature has them ready for you to go. If it's like a Venus flytrap though,
Starting point is 00:26:20 ooh, that one is going to be a little, you know what I mean? Like if I had a Venus flytrap, and then you replaced my Venus flytrap, and I saw this new Venus flytrap eat a fly or a mosquito or whatever, and I saw it do it, I'd be like, that was different. It moved, it has character. It animated a little bit differently.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And so where's, where's Tony? My original Venus flytrap. The problem is then, your roommate should never have watered a Venus flytrap because the only liquid it needs is human blood. Yeah. I've seen little shop. Yeah, the joke of the little shop.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Yes, thank you. I think that, I don't think they get that big, Trav. I think it might be different plants. What? Yeah, I think it might be different plants because they don't. They don't usually get that big or talk. You don't think that the little shop plant is based on a Venus flytrap?
Starting point is 00:27:08 You don't think conceptually that there's a one-in-one connection there? I think it's based on the, what's the little plumber? On the Mario plants. The Mario ones. The Mario ones, the plants that come out of the pipe? Chomp them. Chompers. They look exactly like that.
Starting point is 00:27:26 It was actually based on a true story of a plant that one time bit off Rick Moranis' pinky finger. And he said, I've got a great idea for a movie. Well, he didn't. His friend who was there with him was like, ah, shit, Rick, we need to go to a hospital. Hey, do y'all want to y'all who? Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yes. This one's great because just thinking about biting off Rick Moranis' pinky finger has me all hungry. Saved by Nicholas Potter. It's from Yahoo! Who answers user Sharon S. Who asks, what goes well with shrimp scampi? What?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Is this really the question you thought? It's fucking Saturday night. You've just gone over the pot, the boiling pot, and you've got the shrimp scampi. Cocked, loaded, and ready to fucking go. Blast off in the shrimps, but you realize you need something else to go with that scampi. Wait, we need the question.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Wait, Griffin, read me the question one more time. It was six words. What is it? What goes well with shrimp scampi? Ah, you're thinking too small, Griffin. You're thinking what other foods. That was not specified. They might be planning a whole fucking event
Starting point is 00:28:43 around with shrimp scampi. And what goes with shrimp scampi? What kind of friends should I invite over for shrimp scampi? Let's get holistic with it. Let's, can we start with food and then go? Let's go around the table and we'll list some things that go well with shrimp scampi. I will start because I invented the exercise
Starting point is 00:29:00 and I will begin with revenge. Oh, interesting. I was going to say regret. No, the Travis's, Justin's is right. Yes, Travis is wrong. You can't be regretful when you're chomping into some of that fucking buttery, garlicky, good little shrimp friends.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Let me try again. Let me try again. 1980s movies with Corey Hame. Corey Hame, yes. Yes. I don't know. What goes well with shrimp scampi? I'm going to say just some big Texas toast.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Okay, a little inside the box for me. Yeah, what goes well with shrimp scampi? Just a nice, just a nice full-bodied one. See, that's the thing. I don't know what we have to joke about. If we do a yahoo on this show and it's like, I keep sticking pizza crust up my butt, then people can't use the information
Starting point is 00:29:56 that comes after this. But there's this week, somebody's going to have fucking shrimp scampi. Okay, now Griffin, your turn. Well, no, I was talking over yours and I know you said homemade ball pit and now I'm thinking about getting a ball pit and eating this good buttery shrimp
Starting point is 00:30:11 with my friends and wife. Right? I think it would be a messy ball pit. Like, I don't want other things getting in the ball pit but at the same time, I think it'd be like a fun time. I have one. Go ahead, Travis. I hate to jump.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I hate to jump back to me. Yeah, you're doing double dutch, aren't you? But what goes well with shrimp scampi? Staring wistfully into your tank full of saltwater exotic fish while you eat it. Oh, just think it, like, I love these fish so much, I wish I could eat them but I can't. So I'm going to eat things like them
Starting point is 00:30:46 while looking at them and it could be like, it could be you, David. Yeah. How about a hot bath? Shrimp scampi in the bath, please. Yeah, I don't mind if I do. I might treat myself to that tonight in real life, just getting the bath with a full-bodied wine
Starting point is 00:31:03 and a ham flick and chomp down on these good little buttery boys. What? I just love shrimp scampi and I thought we'd all get, like, really excited about this question, but I sense your guy's hesitance to even, like, play with me right now.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I love shrimp scampi. There's no argument about that. It's one of my favorite foods. Prove it, motherfucker. Whoa. It's hard because my cousin Mike loves shrimp scampi so much that we call him scampi. So I feel like it's weird for me to try.
Starting point is 00:31:37 I feel like a pretender to the, like, in the back of my head, all I can think is, like, well, I don't like it as much as Michael does. And they're going to know. Sounds like nobody does. Can I pause it a shrimp scampi? Let's pause it for a second. Question.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah, please. So shrimp scampi implies it is shrimp that has been scampied, correct? This is shrimp scampi. Is there chicken scampi or steak scampi or fish scampi or pork scampi? Shit. Pork scampi's good.
Starting point is 00:32:11 This is, oh, shit. This is going to be like beef nugs, too. We're like, where's all the fucking beef scampi? Where's the chicken scampi at? I'm just saying scampi as, like, as the suffix, implies that, like, we took shrimp and we scampied it. So now it's shrimp scampi. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Right? God, I want to eat some motherfucking shrimp scampi tonight. This is not a joke. I'm going to go grease up those scampi dish like right now and get crazy on them tonight. I love shrimp scampi. I love it because when the chef who first
Starting point is 00:32:42 invented shrimp scampi invented it, they were like, this dish is so good. It needs the most fun name ever, scampi. Chicken scampi is good. It was like chicken scampi? It's not. Is it real? Chicken scampi is real at the Olive Garden.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Oh, well, Travis's point is moot. I mean, I've had chicken scampi at the Olive Garden. It's very good. Shit. Olive Garden chomped our flavor, literally chomped our flavor by Travis. Travis has to leave the podcast for the rest of the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Get out of here, jokes. That was Travis's retirement. It was going to be chicken scampi inventing it. Oh, you should, um. Shit, we've, shit. Okay, hold on. Travis. Travis, it's all right.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Dude, listen. Travis, you're going to find another great idea, dude. Don't worry about it. Why are you talking to me? Travis, you're going to find another one, man. It's fine. It won't. Never again.
Starting point is 00:33:50 This was the one. I want a munch. Squad. I want to munch. Squad. I'm a fucking amazing actor. I made myself cry doing that. That's so powerful, Travis.
Starting point is 00:34:13 It's fucking. It's inside out, outside in. Stand up, cross these shit. Thank you. Travis. Yes, Justin. Good news. Do you know how you've been having trouble
Starting point is 00:34:24 finding French fries? Well, the search is over because Taco Bell's got them now. Oh my God. That's right. And they're not just any. Oh, you mad geniuses. And they're not just any fries this time. They're nacho fries.
Starting point is 00:34:43 What? But they can be yo's. I mean, they're nachos. Thank you. You get it? Yeah. Can I do this segment while lying on the floor? No, it's that they don't have.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Now, here's the weird thing about nacho fries. I mean, there's many weird things about nacho fries. They're seasoned with nacho seasonings, right? Are we talking about sorry, we need to be like salt. Are we talking about Mexican seasonings? Are we talking about long potato straws that have been fried up or is this some fucked up? It's just like strips of tortillas that we're calling fries.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Because I don't fuck with that. Like I don't fuck with Andy Cap and his whole business. No, they are French fries. Like they're French fries. Now, these were a big thing in Canada. Canada has fries. Canada Taco Bell has been kicking it with French fries for a long time.
Starting point is 00:35:39 They are off that grind. I mean, they're probably still on that grind, but now they're letting that grind come down here. But it is new for this year. Now, here's the unusual thing. Normally, I don't do Munch Squad unless I can have a press release to refer to. I have scoured the internet and cannot find any evidence
Starting point is 00:36:01 of Taco Bell as a corporation admitting that they're selling fries. Really? They have signed up. So if you go to the location, right, they are definitely selling fries and there's like commercials and stuff. But as an organization, they have like plausible deniability.
Starting point is 00:36:20 It's like a homebrew. Like, serve fries if you want Taco Bell individual restaurants, if we can call you that. But we're not going to, we're not going to sign any light on it. It's like that, like, you guys, fry red radio. It's not that anything. It's not. Fry red radio.
Starting point is 00:36:39 No, Travis, that's not anything what you said. Because it's like pirate radio, but it's fries. There's a lot of people covering this phenomenon. Anderson Cooper getting up in there. Yeah, a lot of people are getting pretty excited about it. The headline on Hello Giggles is Nacho Bell, Taco Bell Nacho Fries are here and they look absolutely delicious.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Now, I don't know what photo of these fries they are referring to. But if you can imagine, I mean, it's basically just French, like a big mess of French fries and nacho cheese and sour cream and diced tomatoes and chives on top of the French fries and what appears to be ground beef. This looks horrifying. I refuse to look at it. It's not great.
Starting point is 00:37:24 It's not great. And I don't know what I know Taco Bell refuses to look at it. We're talking about refuses to talk about it. Taco Bell is staying silent. So there's no PR quotes for this Munch Squad. I feel like if you called Taco Bell about this, they would say like, wait a minute, where did you see that? What location?
Starting point is 00:37:45 And then they would call that specific Taco Bell and say, hey, listen, I got a very, a very important phone call that you're doing something very bad down there in Huntington, West Virginia. You were selling fries at Taco Bell. Well, yeah, you emailed everybody in the company and said, I did know such thing or my name's not Mr. Bell. I tried calling the Taco Bell corporate office,
Starting point is 00:38:19 but it is Saturday morning. Can you call Griffin, as long as we're on this tip, can you call a Taco Bell in your area at Austin and see if they have the nacho fries? Yes, but I won't call the one that I've gone to before and maybe we'll some day again. Yeah, don't do that. Just call it one and see if you can get any details on it.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Hi, do you all have those nacho fries? Nacho fries? Yeah. What is it? No, there's a chip to make some nachos, but not fries. That makes sense. All right. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:39:01 You're welcome. So how deep does this go? How deep does this con go? Did you hear the hesitance like, okay, if I were to Taco Bell and someone asked me if I had French fries, the answer would be at the tip of my tongue. Absolutely not. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:39:21 You called Taco Bell. Unless the person I just spoke to on the phone, they're like, stealth shit is so locked down that they like, I could probably go into that store and get some nacho fries. And they'd be like, okay, now that you're here, yeah, here, have some nacho fries. But like, you could have... She probably knew that I was recording the conversation
Starting point is 00:39:41 and she couldn't give out that kind of evidence on that. That would be like corporate confirmation. That was a skilled agent. Normally, we tell you lots of tweet at folks, but I would like everybody to tweet at Taco Bell and just ask why they're covering up nacho fries. Be nice about it. Be nice about it.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Speaking of which, Griffin, I don't know if you saw this, but Taco Bell adjacent, congratulations to our friend, Dan Riker, for winning a wedding at Taco Bell. That's going to be a hoot and a half. It's going to be a real hoot, nanny. Make sure you get us an invite. I think it's time to head to the zone of money.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Did I do that right? Almost not. Can I read one thing really quick? And it's going to be a little time warp, but I want to read the best answer on this shrimp scampi question about what goes well with shrimp scampi, because user RedPanda has really knocked out of the park when they said shrimp scampi.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Nice. Some more. Some more of it. Nice. All right, let's go to the next one. This week, my brother and my brother and me is sponsored by Casper. It's an online retailer of premium, obsessively engineered
Starting point is 00:41:00 mattresses for a fraction of the price. And I can speak to this, not just to someone that they're paying to speak to it, but also a customer who is incredibly pleased. We have both Casper mattress that my wife and I sleep on every single night, and also a Casper mattress in our guest room that our friends have come over and slept on
Starting point is 00:41:20 and always compliment. This is, okay, listen, I have a really hard time sounding sincere as evidenced by this commercial, but when my wife and I switch from our old mattress to our Casper mattress, no joke, noticeable difference in sleep quality. Like we slept so much better, woke up more refreshed. I mean, not now.
Starting point is 00:41:41 We have a five-month-old baby, but back when we were full human beings, we slept so good. Yeah, we have that sleep. We have one too, and it's really good. It's in our guest room, and so I really only sleep on it when I have diarrhea or something like that and don't want to wake up everybody else with my run.
Starting point is 00:42:00 So like every other night? It's not funny. Out of funny. It's not funny. I thought it was kind of funny. It's not funny to have that happen to you. Anyway, Casper mattresses are really comfortable, and I'm sorry that they probably don't want
Starting point is 00:42:14 us talking about diarrhea during these advertisements, but when life hands you lemons. Did you also know that my Bim Bim Listers can get $50 toward any mattress purchase if you go to casper.com slash mybrother and you use the promo code mybrother all one word at checkout and that terms and conditions apply? I did.
Starting point is 00:42:31 We also mentioned some risk-free trial and return policy. You can sleep on Casper for 100 days with free delivery to the U.S. and Canada and painless returns. The mattresses are made in America. Go to casper.com slash mybrother, promo code mybrother all one word, say $50 terms and conditions apply. I'm just, let me go down the bullet points here,
Starting point is 00:42:50 make sure we hit everything. Other risk return policy in America, diarrhea. Yeah, all right. We're good. Tell me now. Are you ready? Give it all of it, baby. I want to talk about movement or as they prefer,
Starting point is 00:43:06 do you pronounce movement? It's movement without an N or vowels. I don't know. It's MVMT and it actually says to pronounce it movement. So just as ones, I'll let it slide. It was founded on the belief that style shouldn't break the bank. They're cool watches. They make a watch and you put it on
Starting point is 00:43:25 and you know what time it is. You look great. You know, it's important to keep track of it because if not, you'll be late or early. They've sold over one million watches. Oh, shoot. You're early. You need a risk friend to help you out
Starting point is 00:43:44 because you're too fucking early for the party. Shoot. Very, or very early. I'm very early. I'm very early at this party. Fuck, fuck. I need a risk friend for movement. There are serious problems with that.
Starting point is 00:43:58 I had a conference call this week scheduled for a certain time and I showed up a half hour before it was to begin. But the person who was on it with me, who's on the conference call, the person running it, gets a text notification. Someone lines up to their gets onto their line. So they hopped on to before everybody else. And by the time we could make, get through like the apologies
Starting point is 00:44:25 and I'm sorry and I didn't understand and et cetera, et cetera, it was just close enough to the meeting that it would have been weird to hang up and call back later. You apologized for 30 minutes. Just kind of like hung on the call. No, it just would have been like weird. So I ended up just like making conversation. Turn it into a nice chat.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Sounds like a good day. Good work socializing you did. But like that could have been a what if they had been a bad person? Yeah, you both need those good risk friends from movement. These movement watches started just 95 bucks at a department store. You're looking at like 400 to 500 bucks for a nice watch. I have one. I think we all have one and they're really nice.
Starting point is 00:45:08 They're really slick and I didn't think I would like the face of the watches a little bit bigger than watches I've worn in the past. But like I actually really like it now that I've had it for a while and I've actually gotten compliments on it before, which I don't own many things in this world that that is true for. You can get 15% off your movement watch today with free shipping and free returns by going to mvmtwatches.com slash brother. Go check out the stuff they've got and get the cool discount
Starting point is 00:45:42 and free shipping and free returns. Again, mvmtwatches.com slash brother. I got a message for Caleb and Kyle from Courtney. A lot of good sounds. I love it. Happy birthday, fellas. Happy to know you guys. Thanks for letting me join in on your goofs.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Hell yeah. In out, done. Courtney's like in out, done with my business. Can we at some point start charging by the letter like a newspaper? Or like a fucking epitaph? Wait, what? What? So happy birthday to Caleb and Kyle.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Hope it's a great one. Me and Courtney both think that. And that was supposed to air in April. So we're like crushing it. I wonder if the birthday's April 17th. Like mine, the day of my fucking Logan's run retirement. Let's move on to the next one. Sorry I equated your birthday message to an epitaph.
Starting point is 00:46:34 This message is for Alex. Exclamation point. Alex! That's fine. It's from Emma Laura and Ty who say, Happy birthday. Thank you for creating a beautiful narrative day in, beautiful narrative day in and day out.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Okay. Your detailed maps, carefully chosen names, and especially graphic fights, keep us excited for all the adventures that await in the Parish Highlands. You're the reason we all found D&D. And for that, we are forever grateful. Love from the nerdiest polycule to ever adventure. This is, I'm glad that they clarified they're talking about a D&D.
Starting point is 00:47:09 thing here. And not that. Why is, what? Alex making such explicit fights. Yeah. Is that, yeah, like the orc stands up and gets out the axe and also a pee pee. I don't know if that means graphically violent or like beautifully described in a graphic manner that allows me to really picture it in my mind's eye or.
Starting point is 00:47:33 I can't make heads or tails to any of this nerd shit. Honestly. Dunked on them, dunked on all four. Thanks for the money. We do a Dungeons and Dragons podcast. Are you sad and confused about world politics? Worried about the upcoming inevitable nuclear war? Or maybe a rat is living in your house.
Starting point is 00:47:53 There's a rat living in my house. How do you get rid of a rat from a house? Why not immerse yourself in a completely fictional imagined podcast for the beef and dairy industries? It works for me. The Beef and Dairy Network podcast is the number one podcast for those involved. Or just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds. Don't worry. It's funnier than it sounds.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Find us at beefanddairynetwork.com or maximumfund.org or wherever you get your podcast from. Oh god, there's the rat. Oh god. The other day I went to McDonald's to claim my free coffee since I've completed. I have a completed coffee fidelity card. When I go to McDonald's, it is always at the same time at the drive-thru. So it's always the same girl at the till. However, when I came to give her my free coffee coupon, she said I could keep the coupon.
Starting point is 00:48:43 And she still gave me the free coffee. Fuck yeah. Oh, this is a good one. Can I use my coupon given that the girl knows I've already tried to claim it? Do I have to go to an out of town McDonald's to claim it? Or have I entered an infinite free coffee loophole? That's from the most caffeinated munch squad member in Montreal, where apparently they have McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Do not drive any amount of distance above normal to get a free like 99 cent coffee. It will not. It doesn't. It doesn't work out. It does not financially speaking. As your financial advisor. Yeah. Don't do this.
Starting point is 00:49:28 The amount that you would spend on gas or as you say in Montreal, petrol. It's not that you may as well drink the petrol at that point. It's just not cost effective. I do really like this question now because it sounds like you've discovered a way to tie a string around your completed coffee fidelity card. And then when you hand it in and they're about to put it in the register, you yank the string and it's back out in your hand and you still get that coffee and nobody's the wiser. Here's what you're going to have.
Starting point is 00:50:00 You're going to have to do this. You're going to have to collect a bunch of empty coffee like McDonald's coffee cups. Pile them in the seat next to you. And then like two days later, pull out the coupon again. At which point they'll have no choice but to believe you. Or else where did you get all those empty cups? No. Such an elaborate con.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Elaborate. Um, my first thought when I thought this was, uh, um, well, you know, that's a very nice thing that she did for you. That's very kind. But the more I think about it, you have to drink McDonald's coffee every day. It's really the least. Hey, can I just tell you the McAfee is fine. Can we not with our leaders?
Starting point is 00:50:47 We live in a country with Tim Hortons everywhere. Every 10 feet there's a Tim Hortons. In your car, there's a Tim Hortons. There's a Tim Hortons. Open your dashboard. Open your glove compartment. There's a little Tim Hortons in there. Are you just going to McDonald's and getting a coffee through the drive through?
Starting point is 00:51:05 I mean, that's what I'm, that's where I'm struggling with it. They're probably getting, I mean, something else also, right? They're probably getting, they're probably getting them a griddle or big, big griffin. Thank you. Because my point here is if you get a food item, the coffee is just a value add. Coffee is how they get you in the door and then you're buying a hash brown and I'm a griddle and a cheesem. And that's where you're making, they're making their money, right?
Starting point is 00:51:29 Like the money is to be made is on the food items. The coffee, that's a value add. That just gets you in the door. So like you keeping that coffee fidelity card guarantees you coming back to McDonald's one more time. Literally. So this is win-win for everybody. I would say in this scenario.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I just want to make a point that the opposite of what my brother just said is true. Faster to change, make their money on the drinks and drive through the wire. Maybe here in the US of A. In Canada, we do things a little different. I'm Travis Zachary for Canada. Man, did y'all ever grown up? I mean, I said the funny thing yet. Dog, y'all grown up.
Starting point is 00:52:11 I wish you had a fast food friend because it sounds like you've got a genuine fast food friend on your hands. And when I lived in the Western Virginia building, I ate pretty much every dinner at the Wendy's. And I just thought it would be so sick if I could just drive up and my Wendy's friend was there and was just like, don't worry about it, man. And I would get my spicy chicken sandwich and it would not be a big deal. Don't worry about it, man.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Griffin, it's me, your fast food friend. Get out of here. Come on. Your money's no good here. I'm your fast food friend. Griffin, I love this sitcom you're building when fast food friend gets fired for giving away free chicken sandwiches. They wouldn't, though.
Starting point is 00:52:50 How's it come live with you? No, no, they wouldn't. They deal out so many chicken sandwiches there. They deal out so many spicy boys in this Wendy's. Nobody's going to notice that my friend hooked me up with one. Like, no, there's a 0% chance of that. Also, I think everybody at working at that Wendy's, everybody working at any fast food place knows like you can have five, what would they drive through buddies that you can hook
Starting point is 00:53:13 up and it's not a big deal. That's like, that's written into the Wendy's budget. Like Dave Thomas came up with that and was like, just you got five drive through buddies. Don't worry about it. Just slide them some chicken sandwiches and it's not a big deal. It's on me, Dave, and he smiles real big. What if you overlap with a different fast food buddy? They walk over and see another drive through worker slipping you a free spicy chicken friend
Starting point is 00:53:37 and they're like, whoa, whoa, what's this? I thought I was your drive through buddy. I thought you double dippin'. What the fuck, Griffin? I would never do that. I would never cheat on my fast food friend. There's no way I would do that. Cause I'm not greedy.
Starting point is 00:53:52 I just want free spicy chicken sandwiches at my Wendy's that I go to. And it's not even about the money. It's just like, ah, nice. Thanks. You know, it's like, ah, cool. It's like having a cool like confidant. I just had an amazing realization that at some point in human history and probably at some point every day, someone just rolled up to a fast food drive through and said like,
Starting point is 00:54:14 hey, yo, can I speak to Dillip, please? Can you, uh, can you put my man Dillip on the line? Please? And that probably happens, right? You put it on the line. Dillip's not here. Oh, okay. Nevermind.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Bye. Do you guys, when you're getting fast food, you're at the Bill Miller's barbecue and you've just ordered your pulled pork sandwich and you're ready to pull through and go up. And this is literally every time I go, and I don't eat that much fast food, but it's literally every time it happens. I have this thought. I'm starting to leave the sign that tell the big glowing sign that's like,
Starting point is 00:54:53 here's, here's what kind of days you can have. Do you want to have a pulled pork day or a, uh, a po-boy day or it's up to you? I always have this moment as I'm pulling away from the sign towards the window of I hope nobody passes me. I hope nobody drives around me and takes my spot in line and gets my food. And then I get the person behind me is the food. How do they keep track of me? How do they keep track of it?
Starting point is 00:55:18 But also I just worry about, because sometimes if somebody like, I guess changes their mind in the Bill Miller's line, which is like unthinkable to me where they just like, fuck this, I'm out of here. And so they drive and they pass you on the right as they go to leave. I have this every time I see somebody passing me on the right and the drive-through, I think like, food pirates, get them. They're just going to take my food.
Starting point is 00:55:38 I 100, 100% of the time I think it's a food pirate situation. I have before been in the drive-through ordered my food and then as I was pulling up, realized, I don't have my wallet. They just dipped. And you've just fucked up the whole queue as we say up here in Canada. Just like really goofed up the whole thing. We're supposed to go in and wash dishes? Yeah, like Pee Wee's big adventure.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Do you think what that happens, the next person pulls up and they're like, this isn't your order, right? And they're like, no, like, would you like to pay for this one too? Would you like both orders? Because now we got this extra one. And if you don't buy it, it's just going to be sitting here all day. I would love to hear a story about whether that particular act of food crime has been perpetrated of somebody just waiting for you to place your order and then screaming, fucking Tokyo drifting,
Starting point is 00:56:23 360 spinning, Jim Conest style, getting that car right in front of your fucking car. And you're like, hey, wait a second. And then they get your Whopper Jr. They flip you off out of the window and are like, fuck you, nerd. Got your Whopper Jr. and they drive off. And you pull up to the window like, sorry, it's our last Whopper Jr. We're out. So fucking sick.
Starting point is 00:56:41 We're closing down now. Got to shut down, ran out of beef patties. Justin, have you ever considered, when you have forgotten your wallet, going back later that afternoon and be like, hey, sorry about that, forgot my wallet? Do you still have it? It's me. You still holding it for me? You kidding me?
Starting point is 00:56:56 Travis, by that afternoon, like literally everyone who's ever worked there has already been fired or quit. And it's under, it's changed management twice. Because of what you did? Yeah. Not again. This is also a good situation though. I mean, you got to make the lemonade where you pull up and you're like,
Starting point is 00:57:17 I don't have my wallet. What's your name? And they're like, Micah. And you're like, Micah, you ever wanted to be somebody's fast food friend? And then maybe this is the, I don't have, Micah, I don't have the money, but I really, really want that sandwich. Is there any, like, what if you just slide it to me? Micah's like, you're funny.
Starting point is 00:57:35 All right. I am, that's part of one of the things I can offer as your friend. I'm funny. I do lots of jokes for you. You like jokes? I don't have money. I have jokes. I'm a good friend.
Starting point is 00:57:45 And you're a good. Can I have a thumb drive loaded with podcasts? Yeah. Here's my, here's my art. Let me have some of your art. It's an exchange, it's exchange of ideas. What would happen? Like, what would happen?
Starting point is 00:57:59 Because if I go to them and say, like, listen, I don't have money, but that food is mine. That's, oh, shit. You made it for me. You made it for me. And like the value is depreciating as we sit here and talk about this. Like you're wasting time. Time lost is, uh, uh, edibility lost and you need to give it to me. It's my food and I can't pay for it, but you're not going to do anything with it.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It's mine. And I promise customer loyalty. That's what I can offer you. I'll be back. I'll be back. You know, you look at my face. I'm not lying to you. I'll be back here.
Starting point is 00:58:36 I'll do an upcharge if that's what it takes. God, I just want all these empty cups in my seat. You can trust me. This isn't, and again, this has nothing to do with money. And I don't want to exploit like fucking hardworking fast food workers. That's not what this is. I, it's, it's just, I just want a fast food front. Like that's it.
Starting point is 00:58:52 That's it. I just want to be buddies with fucking Saracen at the Alamo freeze. And just like get some free frosties from time to time. That's it. That's it. You are right now, as we speak, getting hundreds of tweets about like come, come to the Jerry Queen in Milwaukee. I'll give you all the tenders you want.
Starting point is 00:59:12 I might, I might do it. I might do it. It's not, and it has nothing to do with the money. I just want to know what that feels like to have a fast food friend like Saracen at the Alamo freeze. That doesn't happen to me here in Huntington. I made a television program here. I don't get free anything. It's ludicrous.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Nobody gives a shit about me. Nobody in the food industry, which had one place, one special place. That's it. Just one friend, one place I can go where I know I have friends there. Let me hit you guys with this. Fast food scampi you drive through and you get a little cup of it. The cup, a cup of scamp. I'm going to pitch your name, scamper and scampi.
Starting point is 00:59:54 You get it and go. That's the, that's the tagline. I retract my idea. Little scamps. Little scamp. Little scamp is the scampi depot and you just pull in. Scamp people. Scampi will plan it.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Listen, this is stupid. Listen, it's the end of the podcast and that can only mean one thing. Shrimp gun and it's a gun they fucking fight you drive. You pay $5. There's a little slot. You drop $5 in it and then you drive up to the window and they shoot you with a gun that shoots scampi out of it through your fucking window. And it's the fastest drive through line ever.
Starting point is 01:00:33 There's no stopping. If you stop, you're removed from the line and you don't get your scampi. It's those trains where you pull the like pull the line. It just dumps water into that one container. It's like that, but with scampi and in your sunroof. I'm talking. It's a fucking modified car wash that you open up all your windows in your sunroof and you pay.
Starting point is 01:00:55 And if we're doing this much volume, I think this is $50 and you fucking drive through and you just like instead of hot soapy wax, it's just like you end up with a bunch of shrimp in your undercarriage. You end up with shrimp fucking everywhere. Are you kidding me if you're getting a multi directional shrimp blast? What if you had a fast food restaurant that was extremely long but extremely narrow? So you ordered it at one window and then the theme of the restaurant was gun it. So like after you order your food, they're like, OK, and punch it.
Starting point is 01:01:29 And after you punch it, you cannot slow down. You cannot stop or you don't get your food. You just have to like blaze past the pickup window with your arm outstretched as fast as humanly possible. Like that is the it's drag racing plus fast food. Fastest food fucking great. That would be so good. Fast and furious and full.
Starting point is 01:01:52 So good. Listen, that's the other podcast. We want to thank everybody for listening. Thank you so much to folks who sent us stuff in our P.O. box on the East Coast.

We also have a Twitter app, The Kind Rewind. But it should be coming out very, very soon.
Starting point is 01:04:32 And my wife is great and funny. All right. That's going to love it. Yes, Griffin, my wife. Great. So that we're done. Yeah. We're done.
