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? Hi, everybody. It's the sick boys. It's all the sick. Well, it's two of the sick boys, and there's sick women also, sick women and children, and everyone's sick, and it's a nightmare. To be fair, I am not sick. Oh, how's that?
Starting point is 00:01:03 Well, let me take that back. I would say I am not physically ill, but in many ways, mentally, spiritually. Yeah, your spirit, I've said that about you for a long time, is that your spirit itself is sick, like you're like religiously sick. Yeah, for like seven... Travis, I've got great news. For like seven nights in a row, BB has been up from like one to four or 30 in the morning. Yeah, thank you all for waiting on this episode. It's been the case for all of us for like the better part of a week now, and it is tough to put together some laughs for you. But here we are, and we wanted to put out something this week, and so we have a live show for you, but little do you know, or maybe you do,
Starting point is 00:01:48 depending on what I make the episode description, is actually two live shows in one. I have combined some of the best bits from our two back-to-back Chicago shows that we did last year into one super episode. And, Travis, I don't know how much you remember about the Chicago shows, but there's some fucking jammers up in there. Oh, okay. I'm excited to forget to listen to it. People are finally going to get to know why some of the Bambam fans who were in attendance at night are constantly talking about seven parrots, because they're used to when that sort of comes to a head. It's a fun episode, and we apologize for giving you a heads up that a live episode's coming out, but obviously that wasn't possible this week. But yeah, it's two live shows in one.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I cut like a ton of stuff out of both of them just to put together one super episode. So here's that, and we'll talk to you when we get to the money zone. Welcome to the Modern Era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. Please, Augustus, save some for later. I'm your middleest brother, Travis McElroy. And I'm your sweet baby brother in 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy. We, we are dying. Well, technically we all are for the moment. Have a fun show, everybody. Start dying. We
Starting point is 00:03:21 ate at the deep dish. We have tasted, we have tasted your tall pizza. We have, as have so many tourists, fallen into the pizza trap that you have lured for them. Oh, no, you ate the deep dish. Oh, no, you're not supposed to eat the deep dish, obviously. This savory cake you call deep pizza. You guys are probably tired of hearing about your pizza, but I'm tired of feeling your pizza in me. We're having fun, but I feel like I was hit by a garbage truck. And here's the thing. It's delicious. It's delicious. It's delicious, but I feel like I was hit by a garbage truck and that some of it got into me. And that's not a knock on that. It's a knock on our garbage bodies. We haven't yet had that van Morris and like, well, van party too hard.
Starting point is 00:04:08 He's going to need someone to walk him off stage tonight. There's no more car. He's going to do four songs and go home, but we were like perilously close backstage. Justin was doing his Taekwondo, getting all of us sort of psyched out of our minds. I was, I was doing it in a room alone and then people entered while I was doing Taekwondo. And that seems to me like it should be treated like someone using the bathroom. It should be if I, if you see the noises you made, we're sort of synonymous. It's called a key up and it's a part of the formation. It's powerful. I don't want to forget that there's a key up with the spear hand. So it's just part of the formation. Yeah, I agree. I'm not doing it right if I'm not doing the key ups. I guess. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Thank you all so much for. No, he's not going to do it now. It's not a performance. He just compared it to using the bathroom. Yeah, you take a dump on stage. We're saving that for Milwaukee. Yeah. Because, because they nasty. They nasty in Milwaukee. What an honor it is to be here with you all tonight. I'm so excited. Yeah. We might actually try tonight. Tonight, before we've always phoned it in for the 50 plus shows we've done before this, but tonight, we're bringing it for your beautiful, wonderful city that has made us feel so wonderful. You know what? Tonight, we horny for this one. Yeah. Yeah. God, we can say all we want, but I still feel like I'm going to die. Like,
Starting point is 00:05:39 we're trying to talk ourselves into not dying, but it's just not going to happen. If the Burp police were here tonight backstage, we would have been sentenced to life. I actually feel great. Great. Open up. It's the Fart BI. How do you all, are you all just sort of accustomed to have your bodies become inoculated to the tall pizza? Is that what it is? Should we get going? Yeah. So this is like, it's an advice show as you certainly gleaned by this point. Kind of a do as we don't sort of situation. Don't eat at the pizza. Don't eat of your pizza unless you've got natural, I'm assuming you've developed some sort of digestive toxin. Or perhaps like a separate summit chamber. Yeah. That allows you to like,
Starting point is 00:06:27 we didn't turn the pizza, we didn't turn the tall pizza into could the right way. But so we take your questions and turn them out and be like into wisdom. That's the bit. You know what? Let's all take a nap. Just a tight 20. Okay. I'm going to turn it around right now. Are you ready to turn it around with us through your energy and power? It's too much. Help. I'm too amped. We don't normally do this, but you want to start with a yahoo? I do want to start with a yahoo. If you've never listened to our show before, we take questions and turn them alchemy like into wisdom. And Griffin is going, has extracted some questions from the yahoo answer service. I have a team of people who
Starting point is 00:07:13 extract it for me. I would never put on the suit required to go into the fucking upside down and tangle with these fucking monsters. This one is sent in by the delivery man, Seth Carlson. Thank you, Seth. It's from yahoo answers user Kaylee who asks, what would happen if I shoot a Ouija board? I've been playing with that thing and now I want to get rid of it. What would happen if I shoot it multiple times with a real shotgun? First off, does this method answer not know of other ways to get rid of things? Yeah, it's just like, that was a delicious Coke zero. Would you do the Ouija board like, or is it sitting on the ground? I think if you think it has a demonic presence inside of it, there's no, you don't want to risk it. Right. This ain't no
Starting point is 00:08:10 game. I'm going to shoot this Ouija board on the ground. Thank you. I'm going to execute this Ouija board. This person thinks that the Ouija board would withstand multiple direct shotgun blasts. Like they think it is imbued with some sort of dark energy or they've never fired a shotgun before, in which case this could also be very hilarious. Oh yeah. One way or the other, film this. Yeah, please put it on video. Because you might release a demon or you might like lift yourself off the ground to go flying back because you're six inches from a sidewalk firing a shotgun. It's gonna go bad. I feel like Jumanji 2. Not the one that's already coming out, but a new one that's really just an edit of the first one. Right. Where one kid gets sucked into the game for 30 years,
Starting point is 00:08:58 which is a huge bummer if you really think it's sitting on it. Yeah, how's your kid's movie? It's bad. But then one of the other kids is like, well, fuck this. Yeah. Just blows it all over. Do you guys remember? Or David Alan Greer, like a Rhino Ramses car, and he's like, I'm going to find that fucking game. Why didn't they just like shoot it? The first animal comes to you shoot the board. Or the animal. Everybody was very late. Can't do that. They're endangered. Well, because there's not enough fantasy animals out there. And that's why we called you all here today. Hey, why didn't we use the Jumanji board to generate more endangered animals? We could fix the whole thing. She's like, oh, we're almost out of tigers. No, we're not.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Robin, go ahead. Let him out. There it is. Tigers, tigers everywhere. Yeah. Do you guys remember there was a cartoon version of Jumanji? No. Right, there's a cartoon series. And it was set not of the whimsical board game playing part, but of it wasn't whimsical Travis people died. But you know the part where little kid Robin Williams and we're the picture like a 10 year old in the jungle for 30 years for 30 years is the world moves on without him and he becomes the animals he's afraid of. That's what the cartoon is. How fun. He learns it to like bury his shit. My parents just died. That monkey just pooped. It's a cartoon. I don't know how electronics work. I just fought a wombat for the right to eat my own scat. Yeah. Enjoy kids. To be fair,
Starting point is 00:10:39 they also made a cartoon out of Beetlejuice where Beetlejuice is like a lovable rascal. He was a lovable rascal. Robin, that movie's unbelievable. Jumanji, the only thing that is unbelievable about it that keeps the only thing that when Robin Williams comes out, he just doesn't instantly snap that fucking board over his face. It's flushed down the toilet. The first like there should be 10 minutes of that movie where Robin Williams is peeing on the gym. Fuck this. I recently bought a pair of designer Heelys. Show over. End of question. I recently bought a pair of designer Heelys because a team told me they were cool. That is such a bad, that's such a bad reason to dream anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:32 How do I learn to Heely without anybody seeing me fall down or stumble or otherwise make a fool of myself? I have a roommate so practicing at home is out of the question. I'm assuming, I'm assuming your roommate's a shut in. That's fine. I also live in a big city. We know we're here too. Remember, we're all going to be here in Chicago. It's pretty big. A lot of beautiful architecture too. Lovely. I can't stop talking about these gothic touches. I'm 37. So, unless I'm practicing at 3 a.m. on weekdays, someone could see my shame. Also, it'd be dark and I'd probably fall. Please help me out so that I can be my best, raddest self. That's from Heasant Heelhead from Chicago. Are you here? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I need complete silence. I want to ask again, are you here? Okay. Okay. I heard a what? I heard a what? So, okay. Thank you. Yes, you are here. Excellent. When you let out to this, how, you don't have to answer this because I'm going to answer it myself because that's how the joke works. And please don't because you don't have a microphone and we do. When you're having this conversation with said teen, did you lead off by going, hey, what's cool? And the teen was like, designer healies. And you're like, got it. Like ran out of the door. Designer healies. Is there a post script on the email that's like, I'm going to, okay, I'm just going to try it. My kneecaps, my kneecaps, they're gone. My legs are melting. They're just gone. My legs are coming off at the
Starting point is 00:13:16 seams. Legs have seams. I've unraveled. I've unraveled like a flesh mummy. I firmly believe that I'm 37 years old. I mentioned Jesus. I know. That's basically 40. All right. All right. All right. Youngins. Yeah. Okay. All right. So anyway, where was I? Before I started, are you starting to forget what you were talking about? Oh, no. Before we decided to have a nice long ponder at my open grave. I'm 37 years old now. And I've learned a lot in those 37 years. And one of the things that I have that sort of become the most clear to me is that the, the, what matters in life is not the accumulation of wealth or stuff or prestige. But the important thing and the thing that you can
Starting point is 00:14:16 really do for the world is what can you give to the people that you encounter? How can your life be a service to them? Because in the end, that's the only thing that matters. So I guess what I'm saying is if I saw an adult fall the first time they ever used Healy's, it would be the greatest gift you could give me. Sort of personally in my day to day life. You would have to, you would have to announce this is my first time. Hey, everybody gather round. I've decided to try Healy's today. Now for you. I'm pretty nervous about it. I'm three days away from retirement. All right. If you would do that, that would be such a good, what an amazing thing that would be sort of a facet in the jewel that is my life. One of the biggest facets would be
Starting point is 00:15:09 that time I saw a grown adult try Healy's for the first time and beef it. Beef it so hard. Because the other option is that they say like, I'm going to try it for, I mean it's glorious. And you're just like a butterfly. They've done it. They've finally become what they were always meant to be. I'm sorry. What, what's everyone yelling? You're wearing them. You're wearing them. Excuse me. He's wearing them. Excuse me. I'm going to need house lights and I'm going to need you center aisle. Now is hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Serious question. Come on over here to the center aisle. Is this your first time? Cause I'm actually kind of mixed on it. I'm like, that's hysterical. But also
Starting point is 00:16:00 are we insured? Is this, how does that even work? Listen, Paul, can you give me a thumbs up or thumbs down on encouraging an audience member to Healy? We got, yeah, it's iffy. Okay, iffy. I'll take that. They're going to be fine though. All right. Whatever you do, don't Healy. Wink. Don't say wink. They're going to be recording. Don't, don't say wink. We'll just wait. Now come on. One more aisle over please. Center, center stage. Oh, you're going to go around. You haven't been drinking, have you? Cause, okay. Can you, all right. And I didn't need everybody to be quiet. Can you yell your name, please? Sam. And what would you like on your show? Here we go. Wait, Sam, wait.
Starting point is 00:16:50 What are you putting on? Just sing Kate. No, I'm just going to film. Oh, I thought you were going to put on some, some, some Healy music. No. It's going to put on the theme song to Yuri on ice as you glide effortlessly down the, all right. Okay. And I'm ready. Go ahead, Sam, Healy on down to us. Please be careful. Please be careful. All right. You're doing it. Oh, we got a dev. Keep going. Okay. And we'll stop right here. We'll stop right here. We'll stop right here. Perfect. Perfect. Okay. Thank you, Sam, everybody. And a special thanks to the security guard who stopped Sam from Healying too close to the stage. Sam, you know, oh, this man a life debt. And okay. Thank you, Sam. That was excellent. You did so good. And now you're great at
Starting point is 00:17:38 Healying. We fixed one. Yeah. Oh, how exciting. How about a yahoo from the answer service? This one was sent in by level 9000. Yeah, Drew Drew, Drew Davenport. Thank you, Drew. It's from an anonymous yahoo answers user, but we'll call them bill me. Bill me asks, cat won't come out of hiding after I got a vape pin. So today we actually thought our cat ran away because we couldn't find him and he does doesn't usually hide like that. I also got a new vape yesterday and I wonder if this was the problem. Help! Jeremy, Jeremy, I'm not going to watch you do this to yourself. I care too much about you, Jeremy, to be a part of this. Jeremy, the science is inconclusive. I'll be under the couch.
Starting point is 00:18:40 If you'll excuse me, I have to lick my asshole. Which is much like vaping. Think about it. Don't get me wrong. It looks radical. No, sick as shit. But I care about you, Jeremy. Do you think that the cat was like wondering like, could you do that the whole time? And you're just now? Are you a wizard? Are you a weather wizard? You're blowing... You make clouds? If I could blow cotton like that, I would be doing it 24 hours a day. If cats could vape, you know they would be blowing cotton in your face 24 hours a day, right? You would wake up and like fucking London fog and it's like, what is this? Oh, that's right. My cat is fucking ripping some blueberry dream right into my eyeballs. Garfield
Starting point is 00:19:29 would be fucking lighting John. You wouldn't see Nermal. There is probably not a Garfield strip that couldn't be accurately concluded with Garfield just... Well, Garfield had a real rough day of the artist. And Garfield thinks, tell me about it, John. And John's like, ask the girl on date. And she said, no. Every Garfield strip has just two... Just make sure two more frames like a pinned it on. That's frame four. Frame five. You're such a fucking idiot, John. Jack Garfield would blow it right in John's face. Yeah. Oh, definitely. It's just a big cloud around to John. Around John. And then the last strip is secondhand. Vape, like it's killed John. That we... Inclusive, we don't know yet. The science is out on that one right now. Jim Davis
Starting point is 00:20:30 definitely vape, so we... Do they make lasagna flavored vape? Oh, he would love that. He would love it. He would love it. But you know when he wouldn't vape? Mondays. Are you kidding me? No, I think he would vape extra hard on Mondays. Vape double on Mondays. It's the only thing getting him through. Yeah, ripping that Monday cotton. How about Yahoo? Yeah, please. I don't want to oversell it. It might be the best Yahoo of all time. Well, at least... At least you didn't oversell it. It's written by Ben Schultz. Thank you, Ben. It's Yahoo Answers user, Dean, who asks, man. Really? No, it's great, but I can't do the voice because I don't want to do anything to sully this beautiful... You could do your sully impression. Perfect. I'm a pilot. Yeah, what's
Starting point is 00:21:22 the... Finally, someone put that guy on blast. Oh, I saved a bunch of people. Bet those... What's his rep light with ducks? Probably not great. You ever think about that? Probably not good. He... No, he steered a plane into ducks. He's a monster. Anyway... Fuck, sorry. I'm sorry. Is he here tonight, actually? I'm just... We're just having fun, sir. Thank you for your service. The best Yahoo of all time. Dean asks, if I legally bought the Mona Lisa, would anyone be able to stop me from eating it? Once in a generation, a Yahoo comes along that I don't even know how to joke about because
Starting point is 00:22:26 I don't know. It's like Ben came down from a mountain and handed this to me on a tablet. So could they... Could they... No, I mean, it's your pain. Yeah, Indiana Jones is not going to kick in the door to your apartment and be like, it belongs in a museum. It does look good. I get it. It does look good. Belongs in a museum. It belongs in here, indeed. What if that's how Last Crusade ended? It's like, you have chosen wisely. Thank you. Yeah, it looks like Willy Wonka to take a bite out of it. Oh, no. Now, you could eat a little. Don't... This is an excellent boy. Picture the Mona Lisa, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:09 That bottom inch. That bottom inch could go. It could go. You could eat the bottom inch. No one would know. It's not as big as you think it is. So, like, have a side. They are bigger paintings you could eat. Okay. Nighthawks is a big one. You could eat a lot of nighthawks. Jackson Pollock has some. Could you eat... Okay, Travis, if you're gonna eat the Mona Lisa, would you start with the face? No, background. Start with the background. Here's what you do. You photocopy it. Hold on. We got mics. You photocopy it. Okay. Then you eat the background. Then you just put it over the photocopy. Yeah, this is literally a Mr. Bean movie you've described. Oh, no. It would... There, I can think a few power plays better than
Starting point is 00:24:03 getting the Mona Lisa, making a perfect copy of the Mona Lisa, eating the original, and giving it back. I change my mind and I want you all to have it. And then when you see people enjoying it in a museum, you're like, oh, yeah, that's the real one. And you just rub your tummy. Do you think that this person would start getting kicked out of the art auctions? Because they're just like $100 million and $1. That's a knife and fork in there. They've got a napkin and it's part of the Mona Lisa. They just tore up a Monet to do a little... That is good because I don't know that anyone, like, when they've died, have been able to donate their body to a museum before. I want to donate the Mona Lisa to you. It's in there. It's in there, trust me.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Even if you wanted to eat the Mona Lisa, I suspect that you would probably get about a third of the way through it for like, ugh. Like, it's not going to be good. And you don't want to sully that experience with ketchup. Yeah. Right? You know what most people don't know? It's very deep. I read the best news story ever the other day. And it was from some museum, they realized they had a van Gogh piece from his, like, Olive Fields collection that he did. And what they discovered is that there was a grasshopper in the paint Kansas City. What's up? Represent at a Kansas City museum. There was a grasshopper just in the painting. And I love that so much because Van Gogh must have just been like... Got you! Got you, you bastard! Yeah. And he still, like, sold it or
Starting point is 00:25:46 whatever, just like, you're gonna love it. Here it is. It's so realistic. Yeah. Here it is. Grasshopper free. This painting is called, this painting is called something different. Oh, you're not going with the same Olive Fields naming commission? No, this one's called Trapped Idiot. Take that, fucker. It's called Take That, Fucker. Yeah. Yeah. Now Griffin... It looks delicious. Was it called Olive Fields? Are you just very carefully not calling in his Olive Garden period? Yeah, that's not... What I said was wrong. Then thank you for bringing it up Travis. You could do a tortilla. You could do a Mona Lisa with beef and cheese. That's probably the most appealing way of eating it. And that's good because you could probably get a couple out of that. Don't eat the
Starting point is 00:26:35 Mona Lisa by yourself. There's only one to eat. You should share that with everybody. If you could get, is Jackson Pollock still with us? Because if he is, you give that dude some fucking subway squeeze bottles of nacho cheese and... He's a sandwich artist. You could eat the Mona Lisa and a Jackson Pollock at the same time. That's amazing. Now, I think the perfect crime. Why wouldn't it be more valuable? That's just double art. No, if Jackson Pollock painted another painting over that painting, it's like double art at that point. Hey, I heard you like paintings. Yeah. I think if you're going to eat the Mona Lisa... And I am. Yeah. We have a sandwich. You then have to claim it stolen because they're never going to find it. And I guarantee it would take the world's
Starting point is 00:27:25 greatest detective to suspect... I bet he ate it. I thought you were going to say the world's greatest art restorer who would look at your... Give me a couple days. Well, this is it. My last job. I thought I was out. Give me that. I thought it was out. Let's do this. I think I see the nose. I'm going in. It's in Basel. Not for me. A patient, Robert. What if Dr. Alan Grant have been digging that big pile of dinosaur poop in that Jurassic Park and just be like, reach? Oh, God. The Mona Lisa. I'm sorry. Here is another question that I have for you, my brothers, on the iPad. That's same one that I use for Munch Squad. And you might think, does he have difficulty getting back to the original app with the questions list on it? Does he ever have to vamp to cover it? And the answer
Starting point is 00:28:23 is no. My fiancee and I are... No, what? Okay. You sure? Yeah. Which one? No, do it because you already started it. Well, no, I don't have... Okay. Hey, everybody, give us a second. Give us a second. My fiancee and I are getting married on 420. The debate was whether or not Griffin had earned this question. I've been real good. My fiancee and I are getting married on 420. Yeah. All right. My fiancee and I are getting married on April 20th. But there's a problem. We don't take... It says here magic cigarettes. How can we embrace this dankest of days by inserting subtle nods to that dope herb and help our guests ride high on the magic dragon? You've ruined 420. PS, it says I had to look up most of these euphemisms. I never would have guessed. It was so organic.
Starting point is 00:29:34 That's from going green for our wedding in Chicago. Are you here? Okay. All right. That's eight people. Okay. I just need one person to answer and I need... I need them to say I am here. Okay. Perfect. All right. Oh, that was a really good sussical kind of moment. That was very nice. What I need you to do for me is to yell out another name for marijuana that you know, the first... Quiet. Go. Weed. Weed. Yeah, that actually works. You're a narc. Get out of here. Get this narc out of here. Okay. Here's my question and you don't have to answer because we'll make jokes about it one way or the other. Did you accidentally plan your wedding for 420? Or did like... Was it like, well, it's not weed, but maybe it is weed and like you stole it
Starting point is 00:30:27 from somebody. Because that's the thing. There's probably somebody who was like, oh, I really want that venue for 420 because I love weed. You're keeping that venue from someone that was going to go hard on a weed wedding. Yeah. It was going to be like weed themed. I'm sorry. Was your anniversary? Nice. Are you sure this is not a very important day for you? Because that's the thing. You will have to spend like the rest of your lives together married. Like when people are like, when are you married? You'll say 420. And even like the most boring... No, no, stop. Stop. You won't say 420. Okay. That would be a wild response to what he's doing. But even the most boring government employee will be like... And you'll have to say like, no. I think that even if you do not
Starting point is 00:31:15 partake and you shouldn't feel pressured to... Is it legal here by the way? We need to start finding that out before we go to... No. Then it's not okay. Paul, I am against it. Paul, burn it. Paul, start flushing. Flush it. I know we had established that if I yelled that you toilet time from the stage, it meant one thing, but it means something different. It's like double on... Even if you don't partake and you shouldn't feel pressured to, one of the... There are two great things about your wedding. And one is that it's a special day you'll remember for the rest of your life, and it's a beautiful moment where two souls become one. And there's cool tax stuff that happens. But the best next thing is that you get to remember which of your friends got too
Starting point is 00:32:06 fucked up at your wedding forever. It's a wonderful gift. Because I've got it. I've got that list in my mind right now, and they know, and we know, and everybody knows. I feel like at a 420 wedding, it's just like you're going to have a whole table of people who just disappear for a while in the corner and watch fucking Happy Gilmore on one of their phones. And it's like, yeah, having a good time, guys? Which of you think about is way better? Wouldn't you rather have that than like you got too drunk and you got in a fight? Like I'd much rather have like, no, there was no leftover cake because of Bob. Right, that's a way better experience to have. Yeah, it turned out we didn't have to take any leftovers home. Probably the best thing you can do is don't
Starting point is 00:32:46 go hard on the weed stuff. But do tell the person officiating the wedding that you are going to go hard on the weed stuff. Because I want them to have a lot of like, just like the buds emerge from the plant. As the seeds combine to make one, as I've written here, raunchy joint, I don't know what that is. So shall your love be dank. Your love too should be dank. I hope, yeah, so if the, be kind to one another. If you know what I mean, be like we, um, oh, that's good too. You can put like BYOB and BYOW with like a question mark and like, if they're cool, they'll know. Yeah, that's a really indecipherable code there, Dan Brown. I feel like you should instead of the usual, uh, entrance music that you know, the
Starting point is 00:33:36 a fuck. Nope. That's the graduation one. Uh-oh. Do you mean the wedding march? Yeah. Anyway, um, I feel like you should make your entrance music police sirens, but quiet. So good. So good. Okay, wait, continue on your dessert table brownies, but regular. But don't say that. Hey, how about a Yahoo? I love that Griffin. Thank you so much. Uh, this one was sent in by level 9000. Yeah, Drew Drew at Drew Davenport. Thank you, Drew. It's an anonymous user. So I'm going to call them. Yeah, Drew answers user Jerry, because there's an ad at the top of the screen with a guy named Jerry on it. Thank you. Not Jerry Seinfeld. The other one.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Uh, Jerry asks stiller Jerry asks soldiers in the Troy horse. I have been wondering what it's called the thing. Like it's not called the Troy horse. Yeah, the Trojan horse has a name. Anyway, I have been wondering what if the soldiers in the Troy horse needed the washroom? This sounds like a pretty ridiculous question, but I am really curious about this. You could read that in a really kind of gross. Like I am really curious about this. They were hiding inside of the wooden horse for a whole day. Did they pee and drink and eat inside? Love Jerry stiller. That is a good thing. Like they all got in the horse and they're like, okay, so
Starting point is 00:35:22 now we got to be here. Oh man. Oh no. Everybody used the bathroom before. Nobody used the bathroom before. I told, I said, uh, but I have to go then. Front left leg is the toilet. That's the first thing we're deciding. Front left leg is where everybody goes to toilet. We're putting the foosball table in the rear right leg. So front left is the toilet. And then the Troy horse, which is now what I'm going to call it, rolls up. It was wood. You know it wasn't zip lock, fresh, keeping it all back. Can we let this big stinky ass horse? This horse stinks like piss. And also I hear voices murmuring inside talking about like, oh no, Dylan used the front right leg. That was the sandwich leg. That's the sandwich leg. Good going, Dylan. You butthole. Oh no,
Starting point is 00:36:13 they hear us. Stab, stab, stab, stab. Could you make, speaking of buttholes, could you give the horse of a hole that's a working outhouse? I have a great horse for you. Check it out. It really poops. Get that thing in here. Even without the real shit tech, why did they see this big horse from like, fuck yeah, I'm going to have that big horse. How often do you get the chance? Like, listen, I know we have nowhere to put it. But how often do you see a giant horse? I know. If you got beat in that fight, you know, between the two people is between. If you got beat probably one of them, Troy, probably some like Troy or the Trojans or whatever. If you got beat by the dudes in the horse, you got beat by like a hundred guys that had been awake for 24 hours and shitting in
Starting point is 00:37:12 a wooden horse's leg and marinating in their friend Jerry's farts. And then they got out and beat you in a sword fight. If I were, you were alerted to their presence like Creek. Yeah. Oh God. The fucking hatch on that open and just like the hundred of the most exhausted human beings. Yeah, just like a hundred David Blaine post stunts should be like barely dragging their way out. Do you, speaking of the Troy horse, do you think, do you think the cat who made it got to a point where he was like, I could make this better, but it's a trick. I could make this look more like a horse, but it's just how good does it gotta be before it's just a giant wood horse? Yeah. Speaking of this, building on this, if you had the people and the resources to do this, do you think that that
Starting point is 00:38:08 guy maybe suggested like, do you maybe want me to make you some weapons? I could just build you a ladder. I could build you a ladder. Just a big ladder. A cool staircase that you could use. You could shit wherever you like, up in the dark. You go up on a ladder. I could spend the next month making you wooden guns. What do you want? What do you want? Are you sure you want to do this? No, no, trust me. A horse. A toilet horse. I need, I need this. This is important to me. That is the thing that like the Troy horse is always references like amazing like strategy. The people who let it in were just shitty at that. It wasn't a good plan. Yeah, that should be, that's because that it was the first trap ever. It was the first ever trick. No one had ever tricked anybody before,
Starting point is 00:38:59 because like we didn't have the term Trojan horse. Yeah. So it's like, that's a big good horse. They'd always wondered why it was called that. And then they were like, oh, okay, I got it. Because of this, because of this, with the trick, with the guys who smelled like fucks. Travis, I want to tell you all about, oh, hey, welcome to Money Zone. Travis, I want to tell you about movement watches. Okay. It's MVMT, but it's pronounced movement because it's hip and it's now and it's fashionable. And they couldn't afford vowels. The vowels are expensive. It's 2018. In 2019, it's probably just going to be MVT. I always wanted to see that on Wheel of Fortune when they're like, can I buy a vowel? They're like, they just have a vowel. Letters are free.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Letters are free. Bust up the big banks. This is the call to arms. Anyway, I have a movement watch. I actually have a couple of them and they are so choice, so fashion forward. Love the way they look on my wrist. They got a nice big sort of proud, noble face on them that I get a lot of compliments on every time I wear my movement watch. I love it. And they start at just 95 bucks. And at a department store, you're looking at like 400 to 500 bucks to get a nice watch. But movement watches comes in so much under that. And by selling online, movement cuts out the middle man and retail markup and provides you with the best possible price. They got over 1 million watches sold in over 160 countries.

And thank you Dave for bringing the three of us together. Thanks trash can. I love y'all. And since there is room, Teenage Mutant Ninja. No, read it. Tootin mean age needle teetles. And that's what it says. That's not my, that's not my brain doing a bad job of it. But,
Starting point is 00:45:12 yeah, I mean, nothing else to say about that one except tootin mean age needle teetles tootin mean age and tweedles tootin paddle. Um, this next one is for Jamie and Brandon. It's from Tommy. Jamie, if you hear this, you are morally, if not legally, legally obligated to watch the entourage movie. Oh no. I'm so listening. I mean, that checks out legally law. It's true. Jamie, I'm sorry about that. But watch it understanding that the entourage movie is unstuck in time. Yeah. You can read all about it on the internet. Brandon, play this for Jamie and record his reaction and I'll give you back your copy of Gex. Damn. You're both great friends, but these are my terms. Forgive the good brothers for they know not the hell they have throughout. I am mad with power
Starting point is 00:46:01 and growing stronger. All right. Okay, cool. Good use of Jumbotron. Sort of a demon maybe. Okay. Some sort of demon with a captive Gex situation. Before we hop back into the episode, I wanted to plug just a couple of things. One, and this is- Can I lie down? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:48:31 do it. So, uh, I, I work with, okay. So it was a borat impression and that's not your regular voice. I, so when I said Brad, it was like, he's doing a borat impression, but then I was like, what, if that's his regular voice and I kind of bail, but now that I know it's a borat impression. Go on. Go on, Brad. Sorry. So I work with high school kids. Okay. Marching band. So you know they freaks. Okay. So the biggest problem I have with them is, uh, they have this tendency that they just, they just don't stop dabbing. Wait, is that real Brad? No, no, no, no, no. It's real, it's real, it's real. Also it's not, it's not really a problem, but go ahead. No, it is, it's just constant dabbing. While they're trying to play instruments? They disrupt the rehearsal and
Starting point is 00:49:20 they, they want, uh, the instructors to dab. They, they caught me dabbing. I'm sorry to say, I just need to know, what can I give them instead of dabbing or how do I make the dabbing stop? What can I give them other than dabbing is like, how do I introduce the next thing? Well, maybe it's working really hard to be good at instruments. We tried that. So there's, there's sort of into that, you know. That's good. I tried, I tried the, the need dab, which is this. That's not better. It's very, I enjoyed it, but, but I think what Travis said, there's some heat there where it's like, Hey everybody, I'm Griffin. This is my new viral video and all the teens are going to get really into it. This is the new thing. It's called practicing your scales. Have you ever thought
Starting point is 00:50:06 about, and listen, Brad, I instantly respect you and what you do. Except for the Borat impressive, no, and you did it dad. Have you ever thought about like, looking around the room and asking them like, how many of you are going to do this after this? And like, those people, you encouraged her to rehearse the practice or whatever. And the other ones, you're just like, dab away. Just like in Mr. Holland's Opus. That would be way more, I played the trombone in middle school and all I did was just like, hum through the drum on, never actually learned to play the drum on and just convince my parents like, just sign this. I'm not going to practice. And they're like, we don't want you to fail. You hear that dad. Take that dad. You're on blast,
Starting point is 00:50:53 Clint. Um, man, there's probably some instruments that have long enough rests in the sheet music where they could get some good dabs in there. And if that's the case, gong, the gong is the one. It's the right, the super dad. Because if that's, if that's the thing, I see a way for you to really stand out during the competition. Does that help? It helps. Thank you, Brad. Hi there. Okay. So I know you guys are from the great state of West Virginia. Hell yeah. Yeah. So you're probably, you know, Abraham Lincoln made West Virginia a state. So you're, you're probably pretty familiar with the urban legend of the Mothman. Yeah. Okay. I think some people know where this is going. So over the past couple of months, Chicago
Starting point is 00:51:47 has been having this thing where people have been reporting sightings of a seven foot tall winged creature with red eyes. Fucking followed us here. That fucking ass. Mothman, are you here? He wanted, he wanted to go to the Jimmy Buffett show with you guys. Paul, Paul, I'm going to need another drink. The Mothman's in Illinois. That was extremely fast. Paul heard Mothman. I was like, uh, what's. So it's, it's even been unlike the cover of the Chicago reader and there's a lady who came and confessed that she summoned it for the roof. That's not how Mothman works. So my question to you is, um, do you think that maybe it is? And if so, what should we do as a city? Stay off bridges. Fast schoolish. That's what that do. It's that dude's whole line of business.
Starting point is 00:52:42 He's a bridge warner. That is true. Hold on. Wait, I think we're going to go with the Mothman one this time. Um, thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Somebody did ask me, I can't remember who I was having the conversation with and they're like, Hey, so we were talking about like cryptozoology and like local legends and they're like, and what's the Mothman's deal? And I'm like, well, some people saw him and then a bridge collapsed. It goes, they made a movie. It goes way deeper. So has, has any recolben spotted anywhere? Oh yeah. No? No. Okay. So we're probably okay from a safety perspective because if Cole's not chasing the, you know, Cole, Cole's the was the one who arrived before the Mothman. Wait, there was a pre Moth. If you don't know,
Starting point is 00:53:28 the Mothman rolls up and he's like, Oh, the bridge, the bridge and the bridge collapses. That's the Mothman's whole deal. He doesn't fly around or shoot spores all of it. But to have a pre Mothman, it's like, Oh, the Mothman's going to come. But a guy named Eric Cole showed up before like hunting the Mothman. So he was like, so the Mothman's like an intergalactic convict who's escaped from space. This is real. This is 100%. It's not real. It's not real. Just West Virginia has like one crypto dude. Can we just keep them just the one and he's not even that good. He doesn't shoot spores out of his wings to put Pokemon to sleep or whatever. Like, oh, he does. He's warns you about faulty infrastructure. Oh, there's a pot hole. It's going to fuck up your Jetta.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Thanks, Mothman. Can we get the chupacabra here to at least like kill a goat or something? 50 people died, right? It wasn't like a bottle. It's like a whole bridge collapse. So he did that one. He's like, I'm done. He didn't even do it. He didn't even do it. He was just walking by going, I don't know about that bridge. No, okay. If you're saying that the Mothman should have conducted a more thorough, effective advertising campaign about the dangers of the Silver Bridge, I, yes, I agree. The Mothman was not very effective as a harvester. The City Hall recognizes the giant Mothman. Thank you so much. That was his walking by that bridge. It does not look safe. Actually, let me back up because Neil Carnegie says I should use praise first. Debbie, the Harvest Festival this
Starting point is 00:55:00 year was fucking kick ass. Anyway, I want to put my engineering degree to good use. Finally. Kit, please don't steal our Mothman. It might be another Mothman. There's one in Iowa. There's nothing. There's not. It's like we need to. I tell, like fucking our bell is not going to walk it on stage and be like, it's true. There are. There's not. But do you think it's, do you think West Virginia Mothman like sees in like, he gets the Chicago paper and he opens it and he's like, that's not me. This is the problem though. We're all playing Cowdenball with cryptozoology. If you start saying that the Mothman is in Illinois, he will be because, you know, so like let's just because he's created by thought. You are absolutely correct, Justin. And believe in
Starting point is 00:55:49 manifestation. It's actually short for Mothman manifestation. As Neil Gaiman dictates in his book, American Gods, Kit, please don't steal our man Moth. Thank you. No, man Moth is a different one. Okay, you can have man Moth. All right. So about a year ago, my family got a parrot from a pet store. And it was like really fun because like it's like a cool pet that I can show my friends we have a parrot. As opposed to a shitty dog. Yeah, I mean, I get it. I've seen dogs. Anyways, boys, now we have seven parrots and I don't know what to do. Hold on. All right, save it. Oh, good luck. I'm afraid to ask my question. No, you go ahead and hit us with this. Maybe you have eight parrots. Go on. We don't know. What's your name? My name is Benny and the Jets. Okay,
Starting point is 00:56:48 fantastic. And my question is I have been living with my partner for about a month now. And we have kind of a problem in that he will show me media like I've watched Death Note and Breaking Bad and a bunch of other anime or live action. The anime, the anime. I don't know. Is that good or bad? Stop talking Travis. Subs or dubs, go. Okay, so, all right, says the media. The problem is is that he won't watch anything that I like. Like I tried to get him to listen to a few podcasts. You might have heard of them like The Adventure Zone and My Brother, My Brother and Me. And he just won't do it. How do I fix him? Okay, I actually, can we answer both? Play this clip of 3,000 people doing. I kind of want to answer both. I mean that's against the spirit of the thing.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Okay, can I answer this one real quick? Yeah. Okay, Benny, here's the thing. Yes, sir. You have to pick the right time to play a podcast for someone because it's not just sitting around in your house because there's a bunch of other better shit to do. That's true. That's to be in a car. That's the only time you can trick someone into listening to a podcast. The tagline for podcast should be podcast. When your hands are busy doing other things. Right. Because there's literally, or your eyes. Your eyes are busy doing other things. Your ears are free. Podcast? Like that's it. Podcast. It's six hours to Phoenix, motherfucker. This thing's happening. Right. Because that's the thing. I love podcasting. I would rather play video games, watch TV, read a book. Anything is
Starting point is 00:58:26 better than podcasts. Sure. Anything. We are the mustard condiment that you put on the meat of the good thing you're actually excited about doing. Does that... So maybe watch our, watch our TV show. Yeah. Thank you, Joseph, go ahead. VRV.co. VRV. All six episodes streaming live. He actually really does like your TV show. Fuck yeah, he does. That's a good egg. Thank you, Benny. Thank you so much. Thank you, brother. Seven parrots. How did you get to seven? And you said it like, I got one and then I sneezed and then we're seven. You had to have gotten to six and be like, this is fucking ridiculous. Can I ask you, I want to ask you a serious question. I promise we'll let you answer. Yeah, no, go ahead. What was it about having six parrots that you were like,
Starting point is 00:59:14 this is good. But there's a hole in our hearts for something else. If there's just, it's missing, we're missing something. And it's, I think it's another pair. How after six parrots do you not think turtle? Maybe like, maybe that's what we don't have. Are you trying to start a parrot acapella group and you needed a deep parrot? I really wish we were, but all of them are completely untalented. Awesome. Was that what you were trying to do? Was each parrot, maybe this one will be cool. Please, please don't use our podcast as a bludgeon to lay waste to your parents. Hey, shout out to you, mom. Thanks mom. She's catching up. Your parents named mom. Are you okay? Tell me what the sort of sonic experience of crossing the threshold of the
Starting point is 01:00:03 house is like. How well can you imagine about 12 hours of screaming every day? Pretty well, I have a baby. The conversion rate is one baby to seven. Yeah, it's about that. Do the parrots all hang out in the same room? Or is it like, this parrots in the living room? Okay, so we have our living room is, there's like a wall of cages, right? Okay. And how many of those are parrots and how many are humans? Okay, we have this fun little thing where, that should have been an easy answer. You shouldn't need a fucking like, hold on, I want to answer your question about human cages, but I'm going to need to cushion this a little bit. Okay, I can't just come out and say I have three humans and cages. Let me preface. Kind of a 50-50 deal.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Now I'm not sure. You can't lie to, you can't, okay, you can't lie to us right now because you just said you have seven parrots. So you don't want us to start questioning everything. So why did you, I'm just going to ask you a question and I want you to answer me and I'm tired of the lies. I'm tired of the run around. Okay. Why did you buy a seventh parrot? Okay, all right. We did not buy each parrot. You steal parrots from people. That's disgusting. Wait, do you wake in the morning and a new parrot is there? I mean, that does happen. But not that quick a turn around. All right, I promise we'll let you finish this time. Why did you buy a seventh parrot? It all started when I'm locked in. Go ahead, you got me. It was a dark and story night.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Fucking, can we just do in media res and you're kind of like about to buy the parrot? Yeah. So you can help. We got two parrots as the final six and seven parrots. Okay. Let me rephrase my question. Why did you buy a sixth and seventh parrot? You know what, I'll track it back. Second? Second. No, fifth and seventh, you're sixth and seventh parrot. What, what made you sort of, wasn't it you needed one for a Saturday and Sunday? Well, well, and this is, I, I shit you not, this is completely honest. One of the parrots, parrot number four. That's what you call them too. That's two parrots, prisoner ID badges. Parrot four. You didn't finish your gruel parrot four.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Are our viddles not up to your demanding standards? Perhaps parrot six would enjoy the rest of your gruel. While parrot seven looks at his parrot Hayworth poster. Okay, so parrot, sorry, your gag was parrot Hayworth. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. It's like Shawshank parrot dimsion. I got shit. So, Shawshank redemption, but with parrots. This is gonna, we've had a lot of fun. Here's just gonna be like parrot four died. And we just had like five minutes. Okay, so you're, why did, why do you have so many parrots? Get, please, justify it. So what happened to parrot four? Parrot four was lonely, so. Wait, what? Fuck you, parrot four? They don't get along. The parrots hate each other. They have like, it's like, it's like game of thrones.
Starting point is 01:03:35 They have different houses. Thank you for being here. She fights the others and she's smaller and weaker than the rest. Put them in a different part of the house. Stop, stop, stop, stop. It's your parrot named Pikachu. Wait, what? Is your parrot named Pikachu? Yeah, you want me to go through the names. Sorry, I want to answer the fucking names. Yeah, list your parrot names. Hey, goodbye everyone else's questions. Okay, list the names of all your parrots. All right. If you can remember them. Yeah, right. We have Celeste. Awesome. Buckberry. We have Pikachu. Fantastic. We have, we have Sadie. We have Taco Spell T-A-A-K-O named after the wizard. My mom's a fan of the show. Hell yeah. And then we have Pepper and am I missing one? Wait, yeah. Yeah, you are. You know how I know?

Can I ask you, I want to ask you two questions and I'm going to ask them in this session and then you can answer them in this session. First question is what's the worst part about living with seven parrots? The second question is what's the second worst thing about living with seven parrots? Wait, can I add a third question? Of course. Third question. Is there any improvement that you thought, oh thank god we have that seventh one? Yeah. Did you have like a home invaders and like six weren't enough to bring them down? The seventh one swept in and built their dicks? Okay. Tell me
Starting point is 01:05:22 the worst thing about living with seven parrots. And then tell me the best thing about living with seven parrots. Okay, so we have one, two, three, and four. We need answers. Okay, so what's the worst? Worst thing is that parrots absolutely cannot be potty trained. No, they're parrots, yes. That's huge. That's huge. What's the second? The second worst thing is probably that one of them's a sociopath. But you can never remember which one. So it's like they ask you to join them in a room alone and you're like, wait a minute, are you the one who, oh well. But it is really good at solving bird crime. Yeah.

What's the best thing about living with seven birds? Thank you, Griffin. What's the best thing about the seven birds? You can't just say thank you. I need the best. There's not a best thing. We'll edit it in later. Um, the best thing about having seven birds would probably be the look on all of our friends and loved ones' faces of concern and shock and horror as they enter our house. Yeah. Do you ever just...
