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. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle is the brother, brother of the McElroy. Well, I guess that makes me your sweet baby brother 30 and 30 year old man. We were supposed to talk about Eurovision this morning, and then I realized I didn't have anything
Starting point is 00:01:05 funny to say about it because Sweden was robbed by Portugal. It was like an actual robbery perpetrated on the world stage. Yeah, the Swedish song about premature ejaculation is amazing and should have won. It was called I Can't Go On. I don't think they were talking about that nut because he's talking about that it makes him want to take off all his clothes and that the person he's thinking to is so beautiful that he can't go on and he's got to keep it together. I'm saying Eurovision has a vetting process to make sure that nut songs don't get through. Griffin, I'm sorry, this is not a joke I am making. The Sweden song is about premature ejaculation and trying to hold back. You guys are talking about that, and it reminded me of a much more important
Starting point is 00:01:53 fact is that I watched 50 Shades of Grey last night. Talking about that, talking about that. Nut though? Sydney and I had a good post Eurovision drunk going and we decided to keep up the fun. To catch the zeitgeist. 50 Shades of Grey, The Orige, because two, 50 Shades Darker just came out on itens, but we didn't watch that one. We watched 50 Shades and won. Hey everybody, that shit is buck wild. How did we let that happen? Is that where things kind of got away from us? I worry. Do you guys, here's the most prevalent, the most important fact about 50 Shades. And when I brought it up to Sydney because it is ludicrous, she said, oh, well, I won't, that's from the book. So here's what it is. He has a room called the playroom, right?
Starting point is 00:02:53 Christian Grey. That sounds fun. And that's where he keeps cherry and florie and plucky. Harness-y and butt pluggie. No, but he, she says, is that where you keep your X-box? Hey, we play me a cartoon. All right, butt pluggie. You're the boss. Is that where you keep your X-box? And he says no, but I thought it would be rad if he was like, well, yes, but also sex. Yeah, but I don't have a lot of space. I don't have many of the newest games. I have Madden 11. When he goes in there and he says to her, you're going to be my sex person. You're got to, you're my submissive and you're my sex person. She has to like get on the ground on
Starting point is 00:03:41 all fours with like a blindfold or something. And florie and florie is like, what's up? She's all naked. But then, and that's like, and you just wait for me. And then when he comes in, he's got a sandwich. He's like, oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you were there. It is wearing sex jeans. And what I'm saying to you is that he has discreet jeans for sex that are ripped. So he's not wearing the sex jeans at the beginning of the scene. He leaves the room and comes back in wearing sex jeans that he does not remove. Oh, he just wears the sex jeans the entire time he is in the playroom with the with butt pluggy and the X-box and everything. I just saw a Skype notification that you've sent me a link and I think this might be one
Starting point is 00:04:37 that I don't want to know. Just have to click on it. Yeah, it's just if you get a visual of him, it's just like it looks like incredible Hulk post transformation with like torn sex jeans. Yeah, he just like gentleman wears all the time. A quick diversion to express. And now I'm going to fall into the gap if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, if there's a if you he never takes the sex jeans off. He just says she is he never never apparently he's a never nude is what is is that would be such a fucking twist if in shades of gray is like but I'm I just want you to know I want to do all kinds of sex stuff with you. I'm not comfortable being naked though and I will have to turn the lights off. I just want to rub my warm me up against this carpenter cut denim
Starting point is 00:05:28 is my whole thing these sweet jinkos sign this sign this contract I'm going to wear and then the line a a one a sort of the first the preamble is basically about how these jeans never coming off these jeans are mine and I need them and the sex contract is written out on my jeans it's on my jeans and I need these for everything. It's pretty good. It's pretty great. All of the movie is excellent. Can I ask you a question? Anything. Ask me anything AMA. I watched All Fifty Shades Great Drug AMA. Did it? How horn did you get? Yeah. Did I mention the jeans? No, you didn't mention the jeans but you don't have to be childish about it. It's an adult movie for adults and obviously I'm we're all over 30 now and so we can talk about stuff like your chubs like
Starting point is 00:06:24 your chubby. We hear we hear at my brother my brother and me we are sex positive. We have many listeners who are in you know the SM SMM Dom you know sub scene that's totally cool Justin. So however many boners you got chubs it did it again. There's no kink shaming there's jean shaming happening here. What I'm saying is I'm sex positive and Christian Gray is is new to be negative guys. Guys guys guys guys guys guys. Kinko jeans. All right. Very good. KKO you got to get them. You got to get them. You can keep a fucking Game Boy Advance SP in there and also six plugs for a butt in there to have fun with. Not your butt though. Your jeans staying on. The jeans are staying on but you can keep a full bag of jerky in those jeans. Justin where they're opening
Starting point is 00:07:20 You said the jeans were ripped were there openings in the jeans that allowed him to engage or was this like oh, I was going to buy like a extreme restraints Cage for my penis, but I forgot to order it in time and it won't be here till Thursday So I'm gonna do the next best thing and put him in a denim prison No, no He scooches them down below his penis like he's peeing in the trough in a minor league baseball game Like he he just he just scooches them down to do it to do the thing to do the darn thing a lot of avoiding the Subject of the sort of chubby inquisition that
Starting point is 00:08:02 Arousal all right negative or everyone in the movie is very attractive, right? The jeans kill every bit of eroticism because like all I can feel for way to go to Johnson is You know that She she has to be with a man in jeans always Hold on ever oh Justin now you've made me wonder. I see and there's more than one sex scene in fifty shades of gray Did the jeans? Reappear every time you see like wait if we're gonna do it. I'll be right back It's not a single scene Travis what I'm saying to you is there's a couple scenes in this playroom area where they're like the the
Starting point is 00:08:43 supposedly taboo things happen and It it He's always in the jeans and every every time he's in the jeans Maybe you're right. Were you watching this on the stars at 7 p.m. And maybe these jeans were CGI'd in So that like they could they could show it on stars or did he stub his toe and yell oh we's a lover Because that's pretty good a bit where he comes around a corner weird and he kind of jukes real fast in the jeans Take like a half second to catch up with his pubis
Starting point is 00:09:17 Was there much jeans lag on the stars channel you were watching this on animated cartoon jeans There is a she reveals to him but before he gets into his his dark Proclivities he revealed she reveals to him that she's a virgin and his reaction to that is to scoop her up And she says what are you doing and he says I quote I'm rectifying the situation How many chubbies that's why it's Ding-dong shoot man Also in prop like she's supposed to be you know completely
Starting point is 00:10:03 Ignorant of this world right yeah visors a computer and She he says I hope you use this to do some research, okay, it says what should I search? Try submissive Okay, I know she's ignorant of SNM She grew up like Google like is he gonna give her like a boolean walkthrough right now of like how to get information SNM it seems unlikely Justin Having she also like I need to finish this. I need to finish this one point for a move on They take her ignorance of the SNM lifestyles who it's absolute extreme
Starting point is 00:10:41 Because when they're going through the sex contract and she's eliminating genital clamps from the contract as something that like is Good for her. She asked him and this is a direct quote What's a butt plug and I wanted to sit down with her at that point and just walk into the movie purple rows of Cairo style Hey Dakota. Hey Dakota. What do you think of? 2015 you have not yeah exactly picked up in the world the concept of but like I don't care I'm not Travis you don't fucking caveman times, and if it's called a butt plug. Yeah, it's probably we are going to it's a It's a special type of cup that you use for tea. No It's a silly it's a silly little guy and it gets in there and it holds it all up or in or what?
Starting point is 00:11:29 I'm not sure what the function is, but I I bet it feels fucking great damn now I'm all rock hard talking about all this Junk I'm kind of in disbelief of how long we've been talking about 50 shades of gray in May in 14th 2017 AD the year of our Lord Christ Jesus. I just I feel bad for I feel very bad for people who For whom SM is a fetish for them because if this is the world's touchstone for your thing It's not good. It's probably we probably should yeah, it is a negative. I think in terms of awareness It's probably how I feel every time I go to a Superman movie
Starting point is 00:12:08 And I'm like yeah this time they'll get it right and I always walk out like no, I'm not into Superman I don't know why I was here. I'm embarrassed It's as if somebody went and saw a space jam and then went to a basketball game And then was disappointed that nobody was stretching their arms across half of the court to dunk it While a bunch of big colorful monsters, you know hurt hurt The bugs bunny. Okay. Here's a quick. I just I have not read this But here's a headline from Cosmopolitan in case you wanted to know what Christian gray really calls his sex genes Well, it's a god don't fucking tell me now. Are you guys ready? Yes
Starting point is 00:12:49 This is from the book in My closet I strip off all my clothes and from a drawer drawer pull out my favorite jeans my DJ's Dom jeans Happy Mother's Day everybody go out Get to the fucking J crew Get to express and go pick up a new pair of Dom jeans. You're gonna love these things Is it possible? Is it possible? Is it just possible that we're having this conversation?
Starting point is 00:13:20 We're gonna get like 5,000 emails that are like, yeah Dom jeans. Yeah, I don't care I don't I'll take I will take that Because you know what just because it's part of S&M culture if it is I can't be if it is it Cultures can grow and evolve by definition. I I an outsider will help you pass this as an M culture You cannot have Dom jeans that one it sounds like mom jeans. It sounds exactly exactly like mom jeans Dom jeans I slip them on and fasten all the buttons except the top one from the same drawer I retrieved the new riding crop and a gray waffle robe as I leave I grab a few condoms and stuff them into my pocket Here goes show time
Starting point is 00:14:04 Cowboy hat yes or no can't decide in the inside side next time Wait a minute. Wait, is it possible that he needs the jeans to put condoms in? Yes, I want to walk in the room with a handful of condoms because apparently he needs a few several. Yeah, he's extremely safe What's in here? Oh my condoms and Some bazooka Joe and some chapstick as I 33 cents. Yeah I'm looking I'm just found the page you were on Justin this book. I got the e-book on my Kindle now I'm looking through it and I'll let me just catch up to call my Dom jeans put condoms in the pockets I don't call my Dom jeans because I'm a dominant in the
Starting point is 00:14:50 The sexual Congress. I actually call them that because I got them from my friend late Great actor and television producer Dom Delewis. That's funny The Dom Delewis would get him sex like pants for sex in it We've now spent a quarter of this episode talking about 50 shades of gray and if we do any more I think that I think I might just like call this one like episode like 152 or something drop it in sort of in media res Mm-hmm, and so it'll be like more sort of chronologically appropriate Have you guys seen this dress? Is it blue and black or white and gold? I'm so super confused
Starting point is 00:15:28 Okay, so anyway, we'll do a question now. It's apparently I'm not a lot of talk about 50 shades of gray anymore Is there never a moment when he comes out in the jeans there has to be at least one He's probably have multiple partners at least one partner probably to be like. Oh, yeah, what? Christian what's the What's with the jeans What I do is in the jeans he's had he what he does is he takes a woman and they send the contract And then they live in his house In a special room for this and he she asked him like how many women have you had like this?
Starting point is 00:16:03 And he says 15 which seems high But maybe they're not getting scared off by like the whips and stuff Maybe it's just like I can't with the jeans. I have to go I have there is there a line in the contracts. It says like I will not ask about the jeans Promise not to mention the jeans I have a fact that it passes without comment by the way is the most ludicrous thing in the entire film She she comments about everything. She doesn't know what but plugs are he walks in with jeans and she's just like uh-huh Hey showtime
Starting point is 00:16:33 J-man one more one more one more question. Oh my god This is always eating me up and now Justin could possibly answer this for me is The idea of 50 shades of anything referenced in the book. What is the title based on? Travis at one point he says you can't love me and She says why and he says he stares into a window very dramatically and says Cuz I'm 50 shades of fucked up and that is where the title of the book But the name of the book isn't 50 shades of fucked up Which will be a way better title that would be because you could feel when apparently the book is I have not read the book
Starting point is 00:17:19 Apparently the writing leaves something to be desired But you can feel with your entire being when they have lifted a line directly from the book because it sounds like that it is written like the line the first there that I think it's the Masquerade scene when they sort of go away from the party and find a little bedroom and he says I'm gonna rump me a good one and She laughs Yeah, that's litter. That's lip. That's page 169 which is funny Which is also kind of funny the weirdest part about the movie is he only calls it porking. Yeah, every time it's like Why are you so dark and disturbed cuz I like to spank while I pork and it's like weird that that's a weird way of putting it
Starting point is 00:18:03 So here's an actual question. I'm sorry about all the 50 shades talk But if you want me to watch 50 shades to and talk about it No point We're gonna have to do some kind of like go fun to me to make that happen Maybe donate some money to charity in order to make Justin watch 50 shades or maybe to make him not watch 50 shades too So we never have to talk about it again. I thought I was weird how in the movie every time he Achieves climax. He yells toastie like the guy from Mortal Kombat There's like a lot of there's like a lot of like it pulls from it's kind of like
Starting point is 00:18:33 Scott pilgrim like he just pulls from all these different like there's so many Like references to old video games It was originally Michael Sarah, which is why they wrote the jeans in because that was a request Okay, I've been trying to clear out the back of my closet and I ran to an issue trying to deal with well I Have these five very large posters of Orlando Bloom One Pirates of the Caribbean two Lord of the Rings and two Elizabeth towns To for two fucking 24 by 68 like rip these off the side of a fucking theater Elizabeth town promos
Starting point is 00:19:13 I've had a crush on Orlando Bloom since I was a teenager many years ago I had a dedicated wall of Orlando posters and when I moved into my own apartment. They all came with me But only two went up on the wall and tasteful restraint I know I can't make space for the rest, but I feel terrible about throwing them out Should I ask my friends if they want them they don't or sell them good luck, and that's from closet cleaning Canadian Man, that's a humdinger. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention You've you've you've chosen wisely you turning to us. You can't you can't throw him out cuz His spirit isn't his spirit a little bit of it like he'll know I feel like you know every time it
Starting point is 00:19:57 Doesn't happen often, but anytime folks throw away the I'm a bim-bam poster especially if we've signed it We've put a piece of ours and as a piece of our essence and I'm and so when you throw them away It's like I you know I trip and fall over and I'm like oh man it happened didn't I? I'd love to do I'd love to be there when Con Marie Digs into this apartment like I want you to touch each of these objects and tell me if they spark joy Yeah, and if not worth their weight. Let me check. Yep. Yes Yep, yep. Yep. They all spark joy. What else you got? Okay, if you have one you're an Orlando bloom fan fun if you have
Starting point is 00:20:36 Three it's a shrine Like it becomes a shrine to Orlando bloom and that has some powerful symbology I'm not sure you want to necessarily hit your wagon. Well, you leave him offerings of some of Bloom's favorite stuff Bows and arrows. Yeah, I'm sure you got really into that pictures of his friends from from Lord of the Rings like the actors I think they're both still really good buds. He likes those what you do is when you have friends come over you say If we're gonna be friends, you need to know something about me Welcome to my play bloom and then you open the door and it's just coded in your posters This is this is something you need to know about me 50 posters of Orlando bloom
Starting point is 00:21:20 Your friends are confused your friends are confused and you're like, what do your Alvin I see come on say it You know the truth. These are my jeans. Do you know what people are really into these days fellas, huh? very specific museums Okay, somebody will like rent a storefront and like this is my I love Lucy museum now or this is like my bazooka Joe gum Museum or this is my Space Jam museum. Maybe you want to open up an Orlando Bloom museum because because if you could start making money off of it That's a thing like you can turn around to everybody who ever gave you shit about having five like full-sized
Starting point is 00:22:00 Orlando Bloom posters and our loon like the big head posters or it's a full-sized Orlando Bloom on your wall Because now you're making money off Orlando Bloom just like everyone else in Orlando Bloom's life Okay, they're all taking it. I'm glad we've gotten to this. We're all taking advantage of Orlando Bloom all the time should If this person is willing, please get in contact with us because I will literally set you up and pay for a post office box Where everybody with spare Orlando Bloom stuff can mail it to you and we can really trick this shit out like really get it going and make a room in your house that is a You probably get a different tax classification For this one. Yeah, that is the Orlando Bloom museum or the blue or church
Starting point is 00:22:47 church We've all we've all reached a dark and tough time in our lives where we did a little prayer to Orlando Bloom Just to see if he could do anything to help out Troy. He's in Troy Yeah, I got it Got a fourth one. Hey, do you guys want to yahoo? Yeah, no, I'm just sighting about Troy Eric Banna. Fuck. Yeah, dude. Here's a young hit Was he? Yeah, he plays
Starting point is 00:23:13 Killies is one of the Troy boys. I have a good one. They call them. I have a good one here, but it's not loading I'm wondering if my cookies are Fucked up There we go This one was sent by Zoe kinsky right and high. Yes. Thank you Zoe kinsky. It's from yahoo answers user Anonymous it's actually from Jorlando doom Jorlando doom sent this one asked this Jorlando doom asks Oh the page crashed. What does that even mean? How's the page crash? It's the internet. I didn't download it
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yahoo is closing down around you girl, but you have to get out. You're joking, but that is gonna happen one day and y'all never see me again Jorlando doom asks God fuck this website seriously, okay Jorlando doom asks why does the New Year's ball drop instead of go up? This question really fucked me up when I saw it What is the New Year's ball drop instead of go up and then there's the only other text here is update tradition. Yes Dropping balls good answer update to about the gravity response. No shit Sherlock So I'm not gonna go too deep into the other answers that people gave but I think somebody just said like oh Ball can't go up ball go down because of the earth pole. Do you mean gravity?
Starting point is 00:24:34 So I the obvious answer here is that They couldn't get it down like if you raised it and that was like the thing that's cool except Now that ball is just up there now. So you can't Bring it down. You know you can't get it Because you raised it. It's not like a flag or if the ball touches the ground the year stops or whatever Yes, but the symbolism of like the year is here time to raise the ball at some point You're gonna have the reverse symbolism of well bring it back down. I guess but that's how we do it That's how we do it now. It's like count it down and three two one
Starting point is 00:25:14 Well, let's lower this year into the toilet, which is like where it belongs It's not I want to triumphant. I want to count up this year I want to see the ball go up and I want it to be one two three four five six seven eight nine ten and the balls At the top and everyone's like fuck. Yeah, look at that thing up there. Everybody can see it better now because it's higher Go with me. I think we a third option third option We build two mechanical hands and we make it like a tether ball and they bat the ball around and when it tight When though it's all fully wrapped around the pole Happy new year
Starting point is 00:25:50 But it's a it is a billions of water off geese crystals and those will not hold up The hands crystal to Griffin. I don't know what you want from me All right, but I can't make an omelet without breaking a few crystals. I want to shower Time square and razor sharp so I have to ski crystals to take you from the take it from the year ball Do you think listen thin that crowd a little bit? It couldn't hurt griffin. There's too many people there not enough bathrooms They're not allowed to drink. There's no food there I often thought that standing in Times Square for New Year's must be the absolute pits full-blown That I think the crystal hand should be controlled by Ryan Seacrest with a virtual reality helmet. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:26:31 That that would be very futuristic. That'd be very today. You would never see that on Dick Clark show That's how Ryan makes it his own Where's that year ball right now though? What do you think now? It's just sitting somewhere, huh? No, I'm saying like I think it's still on top of that building. Oh Shit, I mean first of all a highest opportunity this century I'm saying if you have the year ball you got the power and so we steal the year ball and it's up to us How this how this one goes? Maybe that's what the good year blimp is all about
Starting point is 00:27:07 It's a band of blimp based thieves trying to get the year ball so that they can just improve it What if we just take this whole shit, right? We turn it on its ear and what we do is the ball It raises up right at the beginning of the year and then we continuously lower it when bad shit happens And when it hits the bottom, it's time for a new year no matter what fucking day it is a month It is whatever like well We've used up all the goodness of the year so time to reset and then that's right there. That's new year June 7th, whatever fucking new year. We're done. Well, June 7th is now June 7th is such a fucking wildly inaccurate like you don't realize trap if we started doing this last year it would currently be like
Starting point is 00:27:57 January 3rd 3041 and then like tomorrow would be January 1st 3042 it would just be like History teachers would be like so there's this weird Span of like 650 years that really took place over the course of like well for and It got pretty buck wild there for a second. But anyway, yeah, that's when everybody was like 750 years old You remember it was really fun. It was like a fun way to do it We were talking about Ryan T crest a little bit. Yes, I wanted to share a quick vignette
Starting point is 00:28:31 Uh First congratulations to Ryan. He's the new co-host of with Kelly Rippa. So it's oh permanently Yeah, he's like the new yeah He's the new guy and they had to keep mum about it for a long time and she had this joke Where she said in my house We call it keeping a sea crest Because they had to not tell anybody about it and I just wanted to pass that on to everybody in case in your day-to-day life For well for the rest of it if you want to call secrets secrets
Starting point is 00:29:02 Um, I would very much approve of that and it's something I'm gonna try to implement And I just wanted to share that with everybody that they're called secrets now It's gonna be tough to implement but I'm gonna do I mean, you know me doesn't trip doesn't trip off the tongue No, it doesn't it doesn't it stumbles off the tongue, but Kelly leads and I follow Mm-hmm Kelly says jump I say how high Kelly Rippa and she tells me how high to jump Here's another question my housemate keeps opening the fridge door and fraudulently claiming Balls we're out of milk. He then pauses and says odd just joking How do I explain to him what jokes are that's from George from the internet, you know the one
Starting point is 00:29:43 We're out of milk get it I mean it's the exclamation Balls that gives us a particularly like nutty sort of wild boys Piquant flavor that I really would like an early 2000s like some 41 sort of barf vibe that I just like really Rooving on right now Just sort of just sort of some just a fucking really really really good I Mean that's that made me laugh. I'll be honest Yeah, I understand you laugh to you want to put on a joke clinic
Starting point is 00:30:20 But the the summoning the conjuring of balls from the depths is like that makes me chuckle I think a little bit. Yeah, cuz they weren't Adam did you Griffin? Did you hear the part where they weren't out of milk? Did you hear get that part of the joke? No, that's classic comedy. I'm I was more tickled by this sort of ska curse word balls I Guess I'm just lost in this whole thing. So There is milk No, there is no no no no. Oh, there is me. Oh, there is
Starting point is 00:30:58 Now I get it balls did balls, dude Bulls I got tricked for a second. I thought that there was no milk presents And I panicked I pan I honest to God like I felt my blood Go colds because I was like what what do I put on my frosted flakes later? And I was thinking about having like some like I like a mac and cheese for dinner, but not now Not now, but then but then Justin here's the beauty of this was not only is it fucking hilarious But the relief I felt Sure when I realized like oh there is milk
Starting point is 00:31:38 I Don't think that this person has thought about one of these days They're gonna open that old fridge and you know There really isn't gonna be milk and they can tell whoever they want at that point No one is gonna believe they're gonna go to the store to buy milk and the milk Butcher is gonna say No, I'm pretty sure you have milk nice try but go home I got your number which is funny because you're at a butcher shop
Starting point is 00:32:06 Right the milk butcher being the one who destroys the cows to get the sweet nectar within there's got to be an easier way I just like has there's has to be in a when you go to a really nice resort Sometimes they'll crack the cow right there in front of you just put a straw in it love you can just enjoy it there In your in your chair as you watch the waze roll in it's all balls dude. Can you imagine if that's how it what? fuck Balls man. Oh God, it's just like I'm there on the couch Watching Viva LaBam again. Fuck. Yeah balls. I'm loving it
Starting point is 00:32:44 Just saying it man Every once in a while I checked to see if there's gonna be another jackass movie and it always leads me down some paths of Despair that I read it just gets worse every time I duck my head back in to see how progress is coming on jackass 4 It gets worse and worse and worse and at this point I think I'm gonna stop checking to see if jackass 4 is gonna happen cuz I always end up very depressed Probably better ways for time to be used And money and everything hey, here's a quickie you sin by Rachel Rosen
Starting point is 00:33:17 Nick game recognized game Rachel Rosen. Thank you. It's yahoo answers user Ben who says has there ever been a circular banana? Like you know how some bananas are more curly than others has one ever curled right around into a circle I mean probably All right Travis fruit science expert. I mean, I'm just saying that if you're talking about across the great expansive time Since like the evolution of the modern nanner has there been a nanner that has grown into itself I mean probably If you had a completely circular banana that went all the way around mm-hmm
Starting point is 00:33:54 You could feed Everyone mm-hmm with it forever wait hold up what? It's an infinite banana nobody no beginning and no end of the banana So no matter how many bites you took out of it It's still all there well I see what you're saying if I may one step further in order for that to happen The banana would have to twist back in on itself like a mobius nanner now if you had a mobius nanner You could also have people walk on that banana and walk forever and get real confused
Starting point is 00:34:24 Yeah, and while they're just eating it you've I am you came to my house you came to my house in March, and you brought your lovely family, and we all had a fun time and What it wasn't just my love your lovely family you brought you also brought a literal bucket of Donuts from voodoo doughnuts, and they were a big bucket big big a pork It's not a little bucket a 10 gallon a 10 gallon bucket And they had donuts in them, and I watched you eat a food that is a circle So I know you understand that not all circular foods contain infinite
Starting point is 00:34:58 food Yeah, but bananas traditionally have a beginning and an end right every banana that you've ever seen has a beginning and an end You're talking about terminal bananas You can either bite the beginning of the banana or the bottom of the banana if you're a Goofball, I don't know anybody's bananas that way except maybe mung beans But you but if you have a banana that goes all the way around it's just and I said are you gonna Yeah, it just keeps going so you could bite the top of it. There is no top. You can bite the bottom There is no bottom so since it is an infinite banana. Yeah without beginning or end cool, then
Starting point is 00:35:33 Deoretta speaking quantum. Yeah, et cetera, et cetera Obsters if we didn't harvest bananas, they would just keep growing like that like, you know lobsters are immortal Everybody knows. Yeah, do you think bananas are immortal if we don't you know chop them down? Man, am I right humans? What won't we fuck up? Anyway, I want perfectly round bananas that I can because here's the thing. Uh-huh. I'm going to the park to play with my friends in the grass and Just sort of connect with nature and I take an apple with me I Drop the apple and of course I'm like running in the grass because I'm having a great time and I kick the apple and it goes
Starting point is 00:36:15 So far away because I just had to hold the apple in my hands. What the fuck else am I gonna do with it? It's a big apple. It's a big gala apple a Banana ring I Could wear that as a tiara. I could wear that as a cool bracelet or a belt If it's fucking big enough like Travis said we eat these bananas before we really give him a fair shot so I wear this banana And it's not gonna fall off because I'm wearing it and it looks cool.

We're gonna get so Fucking charming here in the mind's own and then maybe we wouldn't have spent 20 minutes talking about Dom jeans Like I think it detracted like this could have been our 500 days of summer episode But instead it's sort of a weird like grind house style Like it starts out like really raunchy and raw and a lot of talking about blue jean friction against a wiener
Starting point is 00:42:20 And then it does get like really really really cute. Who knows what the third act will contain. Let's find out I I'm helluvelin. I'm Danielle referee I am Michael Eagle and we are the hosts of tights and fights maximum funds newest podcast dedicated to all things wrestling We'll be talking about Sasha Banks the women's revolution Sasha Banks the brand split and Sasha Banks's wigs And we'll also be talking about wrestler fashion. Some wrestlers wear too many clothes Some wrestlers don't wear enough clothes at all and I'll be doing impressions of all your favorite wrestlers new episodes Thursdays on maximum fun or wherever you get your podcast. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:43:09 Here is a question. I'm a regular at a local thought Okay, okay How did you do this bad Hello, I'm so sorry. Oh, we've done it Say it good Prove that you can to me and yourself. Okay, here we go I'm a regular at a local Thai restaurant Okay, now now that we know now that the prestige has been revealed we need that you got to understand Justin knows about
Starting point is 00:43:48 Thai But he also reads One letter at a time sometimes He just like runs through a sentence a letter at a time and just kind of explores the words at the same time as you hear them It's really a fun way to do it whenever you all are ready for the throne If you want to come at the king like come take it come take this throne for me It's not a it's not a throne. It's a job and we all have different jobs and it's pronounced throne easy Okay
Starting point is 00:44:16 I I'm a regular at a local restaurant Sort of what's the sort of genre of restaurant Thai Thai? It's a type of Asian cuisine Thai Whenever I overhear another patron as the wait staff for recommendations I fight the urge to rush over to their table. I'm you know what I'm gonna do actually right now I and I think this is a big moment for our show and for me as a human being I have to increase the text size I think that that's oh Jesus God the text isn't big enough. What are you at? What were you at before like 12 and now you're bumping up to 14 just like regular and then um, um, do you need to get some readers?
Starting point is 00:44:55 Maybe I need some readers. Oh, this is nice. I did it too. This is nice. It's nice, right? It's a lot easier to read I should have been doing this a long time ago so I'm a regular at a local Thai restaurant whenever I overhear another patron as the wait staff for recommendations I fight the urge to rush over to their table and provide them with my favorites Should I continue to resist this urge or should I tell them what's good? That's from the red curry is delicious in Cleveland, Ohio Yeah, you should keep fighting this one. Yeah, I think on this one. That's a battle worth fighting Yeah, so this is a hill you got to die on I think maybe even a little bit to not to continue to not do this thing
Starting point is 00:45:32 It's the most you can I Can't I can't I can maybe count the number of times where I have won at this service on like one finger And it was when I was in like another country where I didn't speak the language even a little bit Well, could I have used like a little bit of help from a from a stranger friend? Otherwise like I'm think I'm good. I think I'm Think I'm good here. I think especially since and I don't mean to point out the obvious here They are talking to an employee of that restaurant when they asked the question, right? And it's their job to answer that question
Starting point is 00:46:07 So I think it might be covered. So I think that resisting that impulse is good now That said what you should do is win the way staff makes recommendation. Just chuckle to yourself and shake your head. No That's totally there's nothing wrong and then it's important you follow that up with when you get your red curry you eat it and you're just like oh Oh Lovin it yummy yum yum yum red curry. I'll have what I'm having I feel like I feel when I have sex sometimes at the end of it, you know what it's called I don't at the end of the meal save one spoonful of your red curry as you're walking out the door Slip the spoon into the person's mouth and whisper in their ear
Starting point is 00:46:58 Wow while they're talking so she's just like yeah, so Jerry walks out of the break room and I Fucked up. That was amazing. What have I done? Got these stupid noodles fuck and they just hand them a piece of paper with a black spot on it And they'll know they'll know it's with a bloody handprint. They know the but it's not blood. It's right. It's red curry I should have got what he said he said he came when he ate this It made him feel like sex time. That's what he said. That's what he said. How are your how are your how are your This is your pad Thai. It's pretty good. I definitely didn't come like that, dude, which is like shoot
Starting point is 00:47:39 I mean don't get me wrong. I gotta go but with this lunch. I gotta go back to work. I can't go back to work with Creamy Dom jeans, but shoot. It sounds like it was a revelation. Damn it Damn, what she'd said something before Is there any let me ask you boys this is there you've made your feelings clear about Receiving the service in a restaurant. I think the problem if and stop me if I'm out of line but I think the problem with Doing this in a restaurant is that and it's and it's odd if you think about it But when we when we have tables at a place we all feel like that's our
Starting point is 00:48:15 Sort of island that's our tip like the other tables aren't there and we're all pretending there aren't tables like this is our Territory like we've staked this out You don't do that at Best Buy if someone crosses your path when you're looking at TVs to also look at TVs You don't get like weirdly territorial about it. It's just as the restaurant You feel like you're renting that space for that moment, which is why I don't approve of community tables by the way Thank you. Thank you very much. I had no thanks, but here's a question. Is there a Business in which you would appreciate this service. Is there a business in which you would want someone to? Just kind of swoop in and drop some some reccos
Starting point is 00:48:53 You know J-man to that point no joke if it was a counter service thing because Teresa and I when we went to Scotland once again different country not quite the same We do speak the language but standing at the counter first day there wasn't sure like what to do what what social customs were different very nice Slightly older than us couple kind of saw our hesitations like since your first time here and we're like yeah I'm like all right Here's what you need to do and they walked us through like where to go to order and like what drinks we should try and that Was very helpful so counter service don't ever walk up to somebody's table
Starting point is 00:49:30 I think you were right, but if you're see someone standing on a counter going I just don't know what to get I think then you can make the reckon keep walking Yeah, I Had it I had I yeah, it only happened to me once it was also an older couple when we were in Tokyo We were in this like huge food mall that was like underground I'm making it sound like it was a cave It was just like in the basement of like a a shopping mall or whatever and there were like a billion food options And this older couple was like you want this and we were like all right
Starting point is 00:50:00 And we did want this very much and they talked about how much it made them come over and over and over And over and over and over again I went to this new Brazilian steakhouse that got in Charleston And I've never been to a restaurant like that before and there were definitely some like I didn't it was terrifying Because I did it the person gave me a list of meat and then left and Didn't come back to tell me what ask what meat I wanted Irresponsible and I waited and waited and waited and it was just sort of like looked sadly as People were getting me and we weren't and it turned out there was this like
Starting point is 00:50:38 Device there was a device on the table that indicated whether or not we were ready for meat that and that information was not Relate to me by the way, which seems to me the biggest faux pas you could make in this venue because like That's how I get it. Why didn't you tell me that every time I go somewhere new? I am terrified that I will Misunderstand a fundamental process that exists in that place like I'll sit down at a table And it's like no no you order from the bar or I'll go to the bar and they're like we have servers Just go sit down at the table So I would say in that circumstance
Starting point is 00:51:14 Having like if you see somebody like milling around and doing that thing that we humans do when we're really feeling dumb of that like Kind of body posture, I think in that circumstance if you want to be like, oh, yeah You just sit down they come right to the table and you just flip it over so that it's green on top And then they know you want me I think that's totally cool And in fact when people do that for me I feel like they're angels sent from God and that's Roma Downey just like Travis you feel very stupid in this moment I'm like I do run my daddy. Thank you very much
Starting point is 00:51:45 And she's like oh just you just put your money you pay it right up there at the front I'm like, oh Roman down. Thanks so much. Good Roma. Hey, thanks. It's a good round killer Roma Well, what I do when I do essence. I just mumble a lot. Um, this guy who was sent in by Zoe kinsky, right, and I thank you climbing that ladder and riding high on it.
