Episode Date: January 22, 2018

Are you appreciating those sweet, beautiful morning beans in the way the Lord intended? Are you truly nurturing those magnificent beans, making sure their powerful nutrients make their way into the hot cup? Love the beans. Love those sweet beans. Suggested talking points: Domain Renewals, Bad Bake, Refueling, Mark Lowry's Hat Theft, Jabroni Park, Dick Moranis, Boneless Beans, Drillbit Taylor: Apartment Bouncer

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, welcome to my brother, my brother mean advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin Tyler McElroy. I'm your middlest brother, Travis Patrick McElroy Esquire. And I'm your sweet baby brother in 30 under 30, media luminary, griffin healthy boy McElroy. Back on his grind. Back on it had been chomping down those Vitamins as my friends in New Zealand

called them Vitamins. And such a fun little turn of phrase. And yeah, I'm powered by the D and by the E and by the C, so feeling great. Such a proud moment today. I activated on Hulu an episode of Sailor Moon Crystal, the sort of revamp relaunch on Hulu. And I started the English version because my daughter speaks English primarily. Primarily. I've been trying to teach her Icelandic, but she also claims to speak baby whenever she hangs out with Henry and Charlie. So true. Yes, that's true. And she has picked up a good amount of Spanish from Dora. I started this episode Sailor Moon and my daughter loudly announced, and I don't know where she picked this phrase up. I can only imagine she loudly announced that she wanted subs, not dubs.

Well, yeah, that's, I mean, she's a purist. And yeah, that's that's very, I mean, good. You need to nurture that small flame into a raging bonfire of sort of righteousness about sort of anime, how they sort of get their info across. I like I like how you said you don't know where she got that from as though it wasn't from Taylor. Yeah, or from she doesn't she's not on like Tumblr, is she? God, I hope not. No, she's not on Tumblr. She's on Tumblr, Jr. Yeah, she's on Toddler Tumblr. Whoa, toddlertumbler.com. Let me just see if I can get that one real quick. Here's a so I'm very proud of my daughter. I and she said that she she wanted to watch it so she could learn Japanese. Which I told her that that is exactly how it works, actually. So this concludes

everything we know. No, this concludes all the discussion we ever want to have about anime. So please, I mean, I could go I can go hard if y'all want. No, you got Twitter up right now at home. You're ready to tweet a great bonbon about just maybe don't. I don't actually want to talk about anime anymore. So that's all the anime discussion that we're ever going to have. So this is not a continuing bit. I mean, I will continue to reference Yuri on Ice wherever and whenever it is even remotely appropriate. So look forward to that. But yes, the cool kids ever call that Yuri on the rocks? No, that's a different show where it's two, you know, rock climbers, but they're very much in love. Very, very deeply in love. Here's a new segment on the show. It's called Domain

Renewals. And these are domains that I have now owned for over a year and are still operational, just want to remind everybody. These are just from this month, the domains that I own that are up for renewal. Just to remind everybody about these great domains. Renewed this month, DadYelp.com. So a lot of our business seems to be like a type of age of person and then existing brand. Can I remember was Dad Yelp a Yelp for dads? Or was it like a Yelp to great dads you've experienced? I think it was a Yelp just for dads. I actually, thinking about it, I made TeenGoogle.com goes to still buffering the podcast about the teenage experience. And I have been thinking about it. I think Dad Yelp should probably go to We Got This with Mark and Hal.

Like that's basically like Dad Yelp, right? I do like Justin how your domains have become like the Christian mingle of like I guess weird comedy part of like it's just always something mingle. What I love is that I forget the jokes that we tell more or less as soon as we publish the episode that contains them and yet you pay an annual fee to remember our half jokes. It's as though our dumb dumb jokes cost you money to make. You are paying a premium for our dumb dumb jokes. Yeah, just some other ones that have come up like literally just this month, I guess in January, I go hard on domains. Just this month, illegal.horse is back up for renewal. SexyMugShots.com. That auto fills every time I press S and I have to remind myself that I'm not like a deep web pervert.

SexyMugShots.com is back up for renewal. That goes to our YouTube channel for some reason. Also, other domains that have just popped up. My youngest son's seventh word hyphen. My youngest son's 15th word.pizza is back up for renewal. That deep cut from the Mabin Bam ARG, TV show ARG. And I think those are all the domains that are up. Oh, booboo, booboonanny.com. Do not remember so that's like $500 that you're paying to keep these these balls in the air. I keep waiting for the offers to come in on these domains for someone to try to buy them out from underneath me. Do you claim those on your taxes as expenses and are you worried about getting audited? I mean, they're legitimate. It's a legitimate business expense, I think. Which one Vapes is

broken now? Oh, no. I know. Got too hot. Got too hot. We were created. Which one Vapes? Please fix it. Should we answer some questions, do you think? Oh, that sounds actually really nice. Griff, you're Griffin. Yeah, that sounds nice. One of my friends recently got really into baking loaves of bread and likes to share them with me. Problem is they all taste super bad. It's a bad bake, Barry. It's a bad bake. How can I be gracious in accepting his gifts without wasting a bunch of bread? I don't want to tell him the bread sucks because he's very proud of them, but what do I do? That says thanks. Awkward and Philly is who that's from. Can you waste bad bread is the question. The bread's wasted. The bread is wasted.

Well, what has been wasted here is the flour, the yeast, the water and sugar. The time especially. The heat from the oven, that energy can't be created or destroyed, but it can be wasted. You know, firming up some bad bread. What are we talking about? That energy is trapped in that bread and if you don't free it, it's just trapped there forever. Well, you free it by giving it to a duck who then turns it into, you know, dookie and duck flight. Duckie dookie. Yes. So the duck's flying makes all the wind, but sometimes the wind gets to be too bad and we get, you know, hurricanes, tornadoes. Dry it out, put it in the food processor, whizz it into breadcrumbs and then take a coffee can and cover it in peanut butter

and then put the breadcrumbs all over that and then hang the coffee can outside. You got yourself a nice little bird feeder. And then you, and then you wait for them to fall into your trap. Yeah. I do like awkward and Philly that, that you have failed to see that there might be a middle road between accepting the bad bread and saying, this bread sucks. And that is not returning your friend's calls ever again. Well, no, but like it's, it's pretty well established practice to say like, oh, this is great. And then give like a tiny note, like a tiny, tiny note. Oh, is that established? Is that something I can do in my day to day?

Someone's just starting out when someone's just starting out on a new hobby experience. Like to, to try to pretend like you nailed it 100% the first time, nobody expects that. Now it might be too late now because you might have accepted too many, but this is more of a cautionary tale for the next loaf receiver to say like, oh, this is great. Maybe a little too much salt. Try less next time. Boom. Done. You've established like, because if somebody's trying out a new experience, they want feedback. They don't want you to be like, you're the greatest. I love you, but they wicked don't. Unless your friend has said, be sure to hit me with all of your great feedback after you finish

consuming my gift, then they do not in fact want that. I bake, I bake from time to time. And I know I over need my stuff sometimes. And all I want is for people to look at me like I'm the motherfucking barefoot Contessa. Like that's literally all that I need from that transaction. Also, it's like, I wish this person had been more specific with the problems in the bread because the, your friend, like, unless you're a bread expert, maybe you're not going to know that like, hey, you had too much leavening in here. Like, hey, like the, the, the, you added a little bit too much, you know, milk and you made the batter too wet. Like you're not going to know that from eating the bread. You got to watch your friend bake the bread step by step. And then you'll see the process.

Like you've got, pour the yeast in, pour water. You want that water to be between 100 and 110 degrees, activate the yeast for about five minutes. Then you're going to add your dry ingredients, incorporate those in a little bit of egg. And then I'm going to dump in a two liter Mountain Dew and then move it. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. I think I see the problem. Oh, the two, the two pages stuck together in the book. You were making Mountain Dew cake. It's different. It's a different one. You weren't using diet Mountain Dew. And that's, that's where the flavor sleeps. Actually, if you want a fucking cake, you, but you take cake mix, mix it with 12 ounces of soda and you got yourself a fucking cake going. That's a

cake right there. Make a Mountain, Mountain Dew with a little bit of lemon cake mix. Mountain Dew. Yeah, do you bake that or just like eat it with a spoon? While crying and also getting psyched up to play esports. How about a Yahoo Griffin? I would love to give that to you because here's one from level 9000. Yeah, Drew, Drew, Drew Davenport. Thank you, Drew. It's yeah, Drew answers user. Let's kick it after school. Who asks, should I punch Tyler in the face if he insists on calling eating refueling? He's annoying me. End of question. Now, no, you shouldn't punch your friend Tyler in the face. But I think if anybody in your life refers to the act of eating food, whether it's, you know, a big sloppy Joe or a rack of ribs or some weird bad Mountain Dew bread. And they call

that refueling. They need to be punished in some way. Yes. This is going to be a tricky needle, but unless. They're a robot. A robot who eats. Is your friend Tyler a robot? Yeah. I mean, what? It's 2018. We're just going to toss out the fact that it might be a robot? No, there's a good chance that it is a, you know, some sort of frame. Is Tyler maybe a medium wonder? Not a small one, but an okay size. Yeah, it's okay size wonder. It's a medium wonder. Oh, all right. I've got to refuel. What when you say eating, do you ever see the food actually go into Tyler's mouth and then defecate that food out later? Or maybe he just dumps out his chest cavity? Have you followed it start to finish? Is his head a Mr. Fusion machine, like it back to the future too? Now,

there's all good questions. These are the people and these are the exact circumstances those people can be in, in which you can refer to eating food as refueling. If you are a snowboarder who is on the slopes and you've just carved a very, very sick line and you've done all the tricks and I'm talking about Olympic level, you know, grabs and spins and then you get to the bottom and you pop into the, into the lodge and you grab a quick like, you know, no, I think you just maybe even pull some jerky out of your, your fanny pack and you eat some jerky and you say, gotta refuel. That's okay, because you've just done things that I think could necessitate fuel. If you, or a mountain biker, if you're a mountain biker and you just really any sort of downhill activities

and you reach the bottom of the hill and you want to go again, any food you eat at that point, I think you'd say time to refuel bro surfers, I think can also got to pat the tummy after doing a good pipe and then you pat the pat of tummy and you say, gotta refuel before I can get out there and that's about it. Query for you Griffin. Yes. Query. I am a blue belt in Taekwondo. My body is legally classified as a weapon at this point. Yeah, you are on the registry. Mastercrack of Tri-State Taekwondo says that my, my reaction time at this point is probably 5% better than somebody who hasn't studied as long as I have. So I'm basically a weapon. And a wonderland. If I eat, like when I eat my quest bar, can I say I've got to reload?

Reload or refuel? No, no, reload. Am I reloading my weapon if I'm just eating a quest bar? I'm reloading the weapon. I do think to Griffin's point, and I think in all the scenarios Griffin listed, it has to be like you have, like if you flip somebody, right, then immediately eat it. There's a proximity to the event. It has to be immediately, you flip somebody, which based on what I know about sort of the classes, you attend is, you know, a 10-year-old and then you flip them and they land real hard and then you say like, gotta reload and you open up your mouth and you unwrap the quest bar and you go, and maybe like another combatant is coming at you and you put your hand up for a second, take a bite of the quest bar and then suddenly you

grow like six inches and then flip them again. Yeah, you must get stronger after eating the quest bar. I eat my quest bar right before class usually, so could I say like, sorry, hold on, MasterCruck, gotta cock the food gun. Yeah, gotta stockpile some punch ammo. Yes, yes, yes, this all works. I do think that there's a certain amount of time after, like you can't finish class, go home, watch like an episode of Drunk History and maybe take a nap and then wake up and say, gotta reload, gotta refuel, you can't. I had a fun experience in Taekwondo class a little bit ago, I wanted to share with y'all. We were doing a thing kind of like conditioning, you know, a lot of us just like building up your cardiovascular health, that kind of thing, it's great for you.

So we were doing this thing where we had to like do, I think, round kicks on a bag as many times as we could in a minute and another guy in my class who is a great guy, but for some reason it was just the two of us in class, so I got weirdly competitive. So he kicked the bag like 40 times in a minute and he was like really winded. I was like, I'm gonna fuck this guy up. So I kicked the bag 50 times in a minute. Whoa. And yeah, I kicked the bag 50 times in a minute and then MasterCruck was like, wow, Dustin, good job, I'm very proud of you. And then I took four steps away and threw up on the floor. What's great? Okay. That's amazing. I was also about to ask, do you think that your master was about to be like, you're the chosen one? Yeah, probably for about four seconds,

he was like that. Now, just saying, I have to say right there is a perfect refuel opportunity. The things I wanted to refuel on there was like oxygen. I don't think oxygenated blood would be great to reload that in the chamber. I joined a, when I was living in LA, I joined a jam and along with it came like one free consultation with a personal trainer. And the personal trainer was talking to me and they were like, so what's your level of what? I was like, let me stop you there. The answer is not. And he was like, well, let me run you through some stuff. And we did 10 seconds of like these jumping things and I went in the bathroom and threw up and I came back and he was like, are you ready to keep going? And I was like, in what way is me throwing up

not the end of this? Well, they were called burpees traps. They're called burpees traps. So you really should have seen it coming. I never went back and he like called me once a month like, Hey, just wondering if you wanted to pick up. I was like, I am all set. Thank you very much. To continue the metaphor, my non-existent exercise regimen is as such that I am essentially standing at my own fuel pump, just letting the thing overflow. I am, I am, if anything, I am overfueled and there's about ankle high sort of pool of fuel just laying on the ground that I am just not burning. And really that's in preparation for, you know, if shit goes down, my body will be, you know, just crazy and wild and just ready for ready for action. But it's

really a fire hazard. How about another question? Please do this. My friend is a very kind person and she got a cute poster for me as a gift or else I think it was meant to be a gift. A lot of bad gifts this week, huh? Well, it's not the gift that was the problem this time if you read on. The thing is we're both so socially awkward. I'm afraid she might have just been showing it to me and I assumed it was a gift and she was too nervous to say that she was just showing it to me. My question is this, is there a socially acceptable way to ask someone after the fact, whether or not something was actually a gift or not, or am I doomed to live out the rest of my days wondering whether or not I'm a socially awkward poster thief? That's from Possible Poster

Pinscher in KCMO. You've actually come to the right place because literally every time we have ever done a signing or like just signed stuff for people after a show, like literally four to five times I will be presented a picture or like art or something and it's always beautiful and I'm always running the math in my head like, am I to sign this or is this a gift to me? Because if I ask, is this a gift, I cannot... It sounds terrible. It sounds terrible. Well, and this did happen to me once. Yeah, we actively took something. It happens to me all the time. Somebody showed me a thing. I was like, oh, this is great. And I went and handed it to Teresa and then I came back and they said, I do need that back. And I was like, oh, yeah. After one live show, I was doing my usual

running along the front of the stage, high-fiving people and somebody pointed to a hat they had. I think the hat said sweet baby brother or something like that on it. I forget what it said, but I took the hat and I took it and I was backstage reading Twitter, seeing how people thought the show went and I got a tweet from somebody who was like, jeez, I'd love that hat back. I really love that hat. That is maybe the worst offense of all. There was no body language there to suggest like, here's a hat for you. Although it did say something that is like one of my titles on it. It might as well have said like Griffin's hat. It was your IP. It was my IP. And that's it. Griffin didn't take it to wear it. He took it because it was copyright infringement.

No, and I immediately incinerated it. That's a very different situation from when Christian Noveli music artist Mark Lowry stole my hat at a concert because he wanted to wear it. He knew it was an Atlanta Falcons hat and that's his, I guess, his team as well. So he thought that he had dominion over my hat. He did it on purpose. He coveted your hat. He did it on purpose. He coveted my hat, which is a sin. Thank you, Travis. And then he threw it into the crowd like, oh, wild show, Mark. Can I get my hat back? He threw it into the crowd as though he could not return it to me. Like what an asshole. Yeah. He was like halfway down the arena at that point. And he just chucked into the crowd like, oh, man, what a fun show. And there's like, it's a weird thing of

statistics because like statistically, nobody cared about that hat. You weighed the statistics of the crowd. Statistically, everybody thought, oh, man, that was just like a fun interaction that he had. And if you did the stats, it'd be like 1,999% of the people did not care. And then there's one statistical outlier that was me that would like his hat back, please, Mark. Now, Mark, what I will say is I think this is a very funny situation. Like we have a good laugh about this after when we're debriefing about the many, many sort of societal norms we fucked up during each and every signing because it's incalculable. How many times do we goof up just talking to and interacting with other humans? And we have a good laugh. Oh boy, can you believe

you tried to steal that person's hat and either failed or succeeded. And so I don't think there's any problem with you going to this person being like, hey, I have a weird question, but was that a gift or are you just showing it to me? Because there's no like bad, if they're like, no, it was a gift, you goofist. You can say like, okay, well, I was, I didn't know and I was worried about it, then I think you can kind of laugh it off. Or if they say like, yeah, I was just showing it to you and you took it and I didn't know how to respond. And that's kind of funny too. And they will give it back. I don't think you have to worry too much about bringing this up. You could also just like find a copy of the poster and get them one too and be like, now we're poster buddies. Yeah,

it's like, if you steal a car, as long as you buy them another car that looks like the car, then you're totally fine. Wait, hold on, though, honestly, if someone stole your car and you're like, oh, someone stole my car and then you went outside the next day and there was a brand new version of that car. Yeah, no, I mean, the thing I said was nonsense. The thing I said was absolute dukey nonsense. And I wasn't expecting one of you to call me on it. But I guess you did. And now this is where we're at. My assumption, this is my question. My assumption is that Mark Lowry probably doesn't remember stealing my hat. Yeah. The day that Mark Lowry stole your hat was the most important day of your life. To me, it was Tuesday. I always assume that. But we have very

clear visceral memories of every time we've ever fucked up. Do you think that if I were to grill Mark Lowry, he'd be like, ah, Justin, oh man, I think about that hat every day. If you really want to zap root or this event that had been this shared event in years of Mark Lowry's life, the only reason he would wander back into the crowd and throw the hat to a random person is A, he didn't know where you were, but B, he knew he couldn't keep this hat. He had absolved himself of the hat theft guilt. It was a serendipity moment where he knew someday that hat would make it back to you. And if you're listening to this right now and you're looking at a Mark Lowry concert and you got hit in the face with the sharp bill of an Atlanta Falcons cap and kept it out of

spite. Somewhere there was a huge fan of Mark Lowry who has saved this hat as a memento of the greatest day in their life when Mark Lowry threw a hat to them. And they are listening to this right now. Get that to Justin. It is a pretty damning comment or, I guess, darning comment on Mark Lowry because he's a Christian musical artist. It is a pretty damning comment on Mark Lowry. The way his brain work was, well, I took it from the crowd and I gave it back to the crowd. So I guess I'm okay. Go back for once you came hat. I think Mark suffers from the same awkward sort of social issues that the three of us have where if somebody I took somebody's hat from the crowd at a live show and then wanted to give it back to them but did not know where

they are, I absolutely would just ultimate that motherfucker right back down the center aisle as hard as I possibly could. Because at that point, I know I've still fucked up, but I at least will not have this this this reminder on my dome constantly. I think that Mark did the only logical thing and I think we need to cut him some some fucking slack. Well, he did what we macros would have called yours now. Yeah. Which the last person to be touching the thing just inherits the responsibility of having to deal with the repercussions of having that thing. Sure. I got a quick yahoo real quick before we get to the money. Yeah. It was sent in by Hannah. Do we don't want to talk about Mark Lowry anymore? Because no, I think we've ostracized

our audience enough for one episode. My brother, my brother and you. Hannah Troxel sent this one in. Thank you, Hannah. It's yahoo answers. User serve the servants asks. This is a quick one. Just looking for a quick answer from you guys. Straw poll. Okay. If Jurassic Park was real, would you go? Okay. There's a very important factor here I need to know and maybe we can just acknowledge this and then put it away. Is Jurassic Park real in a world in which we have all seen the Jurassic Park movies? I would think no. Then yes, I would go. Okay. Then what if the answer is yes? Then no, I would not go. I have seen. Yeah. I've seen what happens when we meddle in God's play place. I do not know. The more interesting question is

you see a news story. You're it. You're you. Okay. But it's tomorrow. And slow down. Yeah. You're you. But it's tomorrow. And you just see a sign that's like real Jurassic Park open. Believe it or not. Did you say Jurassic? You did. No. Is that a mix of. These dinosaurs are real jabronis. I'm going to crotch chop all these T-Rexes. It's real Jurassic Park, except they're aware also of the films. So they're like, we know how this sounds. We know how it sounds. It's not going to be like that. We've taken every precaution. Was it cancerous enough? We have also seen the movies. We have been so

careful. We know about our brand. I guess I'm I am describing Jurassic World at this point, I guess. But yeah. So, but it's like, yes, we know we get it. We get your hesitation, but it is real Jurassic Park and we fixed it. And Travis, you have the the only okay here. Let me sweeten the pot for you. Okay. It's not sweeten. It's like it's like sweetening the question. You have a ticket, but it is for opening day at real Jurassic Park. But they swear. But they swear. They're more likely to go on opening day because that's when they're going to be most on point. You don't want to go two years in when they started to get lax with it. Yeah. You get fucking chester the the the townie watching the fucking raptor cages like, oh, come on, boys. I just got

a text. Oh, I turned my back on the raptor cages. Now I've been destroyed. That that logic doesn't hold. Travis, you look at opening day of like Magic Kingdom or Epcot on when those open and they were up against the clock, but you had huge breakdown in rides, Space Mountain and Mickey eight. All those people. Mickey did eat all the kids. Yeah, was broken down more than it than it was open. I mean, but both of those were because they were sort of taxed by the crowds of of people that were there. So like you. Yeah, like, I don't I don't think that you that doesn't inoculate you, I think, because they're not ready for that that number of people. Let me hit you with this plot for Jurassic World two. Okay. Me as John Hammond Jr. Jr. And I'm like,

I got it this time. I'm gonna do it again. And then I'm gonna have like a board of people who are like, no, so, so many people have died eight times, John. It's never worked. And I say, don't worry. First of all, shut up. You don't tell me what to do. My family made dinosaurs happen again. New Jurassic world. And you're gonna love this. It's just all brontosaurus is roll credits. No action. Don't worry about it. Never been a brontosaurus based death in those movies. These gentle giants would never step on a toddler. I love these gentle giants. They're not going unless the toddler is made of leaves or maybe the only thing is just like, you open it up and it's all brontosaurus is and then you're like, Oh, it'll be totally safe. And then, you know, fucking Andy

from Parks and Rec is there and he's like, I don't know about this. I think it's going to go bad. And then everybody else is like, don't worry about it. It's all brontosaurus. And it's like, okay, here they come. Open up the gates. Everybody comes in. It's like, Hi, welcome to Jurassic World. Here's your ghillie suit. And it's like, Oh, no. Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp. It is wild when you think about the original Jurassic Park first time, right? There was definitely a moment where somebody like knock, knock, knock on John Hammond's door. He looks up from his dope ice cream, spare no expense, looks at it, looks at them in the face and they're like, Hey, should we make a T-Rex? And he was like, Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, definitely. Well, John, hold on. I know I asked,

but you can see how this goes bad, right? Should we make velociraptors? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, that'd be great. The logic there is that like, if you made a park with dinosaurs, people wouldn't come unless it had dope ones that they liked. Are you kidding me? No, okay, hold on. I would like this is my plot for Jurassic World too, right? Open it up. They have made one type triceratops, big initial, big initial opening. Everybody goes, then two years and it's like, well, we're bankrupt, real credits. Nobody came anymore. Everybody got bored with dinosaurs. Everybody saw the one triceratops we made. Okay, here's my- What if you got to keep a triceratops? Oh, you're going to get left. That is, I will say, my one logical problem with Jurassic World

is there is a line, I think, where Bryce Dallas Howard says, you know what, people want bigger dinosaurs. And I said, I don't think that's true. What everybody wants is like a tiny T-Rex they can keep in an aquarium on their desk. Like, that would be sick. If you're going to manufacture different sized dinosaurs, make me a really tiny brontosaurus. Give me a DigiPet is basically a what I want. And also, Bryce, I think you've misunderstood with the audience for this amusement park once, and that is to visit it and not be destroyed by a powerful dinosaur jaw. It's my number one thing. If I heard we got a new Jurassic World and here's the attraction that you're just going to go nuts for, we've made bigger, more deadly dinosaurs. I would say,

boy, y'all have really lost the- I can see the review on, you know, the verge. Like, I feel like their heart's in the wrong place on this one. I feel like maybe they should focus more on dinosaurs that won't destroy the children with the powerful jaws and claws. Tiny dinosaurs like the ones from Peely's Playhouse. That's what I thought. Those are fun. Now we're talking. Here's my pitch for Jurassic Park 3, even though they already made one. Here's what I would do, probably if they let me remake Jurassic Park 3. I still grew up in this John Hammond Jr. Jr. because I love this character of John Hammond Jr. Jr., sort of a petulant descendant. He's a real pissy, real pissy mess. And there's just so

many merch opportunities. Yeah. He inherited the whole thing. And Jurassic Park 3 is about him going to Isla Sorna because they wiped out all the ones on Isla Nubar. But he goes to Isla Sorna and he just is going to take them all because they're his. So the movie is about, these are my dinosaurs, my pat-pat made them. And I'm going to put them all on my boat and take them to my house. You can't eat me, T-Rex. I'm your uncle, basically. Basically your uncle. You wouldn't eat your uncle, would you? Put you in a boat and take you to my home because you're my dinosaur because of my pat-pat. And now it's we bought a zoo. It's like we bought a Jurassic Park. And it's like,

I don't know. This is really going to put some stress on the family. Like what? Having a bunch of velociraptors around? Come on, Susan. These are my velociraptors. They're my nephews and I love them. They listen to me. They don't. They listen to me. They don't. They super don't. Just stop putting meat-eaters in your- stop putting carnivores. Just put herbivores. I would have gotten a Jurassic Park for the opportunity to meet Wayne Knight. Like you don't need to put a bunch of dinosaurs in there. Okay, wait, hold on. What people want is bigger Wayne Knight. What I have done, I've made a 10 foot Wayne Knight and he is an herbivore.

He's an herbivore. We got him eating kale and he's just crazy about it. We keep him in this big pen because he's- We've crowned a bunch of Wayne Knights. I found a Wayne Knight and a piece of amber. Oh my god, Wayne Knight is pregnant. Nature finds a way. Just add the pregnant Wayne Knight to my Tumblr tags and we're good to go. Hey everybody.

This message is for Sunflower Station and it's from Sunflower Station who says oh man. Hello. Hello McAvoy's. This message comes from

Sunflower Station Veyron's band of meme criminals. Thank you Veyron for creating a space where we can all support each other on our art and daily worries play D&D and watch Flintstones. Viva Rock Vegas together. That's the name of the movie. I don't know why I added a period there. Here's to many more great memories and internet friends. P.S. Hamtaro Bot still sucks. Well Hamtaro Bot has feelings. I don't know why you would say that. I also don't know if I said Veyron's name correctly but I sure hope that I did. This is this is a wonderful little crowd it sounds like and I'm sitting here trying to think if I've seen Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas and the answer is no. Wait is that the one with Kyle McLaughlin or is that the first one?

I think they both have him in it. The second one is the one with Alan Cumming as the great Gazoo. Of course. So if you have that you would not forget that. Which Barney is it? It's Celia Ridge. Celia Ridge cast. Are you sure? Because I think one is Rick Moranis. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're right. It's not Rick Moranis. It's a bold one. Yeah. Dick Moranis. We have another message. I'm Dick Moranis, the evil Rick Moranis. But also Rick Moranis is my brother. He's cool. Honey, I shrunk the kids. Who fucking cares? I'm Dick Moranis. This is a message for A from H. To my wife and best friend, thank you for giving me Taz. And then when I ran out, MBMBAM, even starting at episode one,

And it's a lot. You are my everything. It's very nice and also a vague. That's so sweet. That's so sweet. I think it was Steven Baldwin for the record.

So I've noticed a strange habit I have. If I'm at a coffee shop, I will take sips out of my empty mug, nervous habit

or what? And that was asked by me in college. It's actually an anonymous user, but we'll say it was from me in college. Additional details. I do it more when I'm staring around in space. The coffee shop is a real performative battleground, isn't it? Because you want to look like you're enjoying the coffee shop the best and most. And you sit there and the coffee's empty, but you still want to look impressive like you understand the complexity of each beautiful bean. And so you sip it and I would often say things usually under my breath, but akin to like, mmm, exquisite beans today or what a fascinating bean. Usually something complimentary about the bean or like, I can really tell where the beans came from and say stuff like that. Spicy note to the beans today, Michael.

And usually there wasn't a Michael, but one thing I like is complimenting the roast like, oh, what a flirty roast. What a flirty roast. What a juicy roast. You really roasted the piss out of these beans. Oh yeah, you roasted the shit out of these. These are these bad boys are toasty and roasty. And I can really taste the complexity of the notes. One thing to do that's good at the coffee shop that they actually like is before they brew your coffee, ask if they can take a handful of beans and roast them more. And they'll do they can. So they just scoop some out of the machine and then they put them in the oven that they use the heat up the turkey and cheddar sandwiches. And they'll just roast them more and they'll like at first they might kind of be like, huh?

But then the more wizened like pros at Starbucks will be like, oh, he's been around. He knows that these beans need just a second long. Yeah, right. And it's it's good if you wait to do this until you after you sort of like examine the beans. So it's like you've made a judgment call that like they could probably go back and get out your like little jewelers, you know, kind of glass. Oh, that's good. Yeah. One more minute. Chomp one up and crunch it until it's just coffee grounds and then go spit it in the trash can because you're not going to eat it. No. But it is, I think, nice to ask for your coffee to have a little bit of pulp. Just say like, you know, give me some of the beans sort of in there. I want to strain it with my teeth. Everybody filters out the pulp.

Thank you, Griffin. It's so that's a good note. That's where all the nutrients are is in the pulp. Otherwise, just make sure you ask them to leave room for the Holy Spirit. Yeah. Yeah. You want room for cream and you want a little bit of Holy Spirit in there. And then other if you don't got pulp, we're basically just talking about hot bean water. And that's not that's not a good one. You need a better mouthfeel. That's that's always my problem with like that week. Just it's just liquid coffee. Like what's that? You know what I mean? Like what one good thing to do at the coffee store is ask for room for cream. And then when they give you your coffee, turn on your heel and walk out the door. And they're going to take a second to be like,

wait a minute. Do they know about some other kind of thing that we don't have here? Like, do they have a secret good new cream that we don't have here at the Bucks? Yeah. And that's going to drive them crazy all day long. Yeah. You'll have a little less coffee, but that'll be fine. Oh, you guys. You don't know about dog cream yet? Oh, boy. Well, jokes on you, I guess. You don't do you do you do boneless coffee and you don't use dog cream. Boy, that's a real shame. Anyway, bye. I'm very smart. You know what I like to do? I like to order coffee, but then ask for it in a bread bowl. That's a breakfast right there. It's fun. And it's also I don't like it when I am drinking my coffee and I don't feel an enormous amount of pressure

to drink the coffee extremely quickly before it gets every. The nice thing is once you're done drinking it, you can then you have a little like coffee soaked snack. You get a nice little burst of extra coffee there at the end. And you know what? If you eat it fast enough, you can get another cup in there and they just keep refilling it. Yeah. Do they do coffee in like a biscotti mug? Is that something you can order? So wait, like the biscotti shape like a mug and you pour the coffee in it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Could I do that? Holy shit. I mean, you would more or less have to shotgun that that bean water or else. I mean, the burns would be significant. You'd want a cold brew for sure. Is it possible to go up to the counter and say like before you

grind these little bastards down? Do you mind if I sing to the beans a little bit? Can I sing at your bean box to make the beans taste even a little better when you roast? Is your shop not offering that? You have to ask for it. Where are you going? It's so rare that they offer singing to the bean box. And yeah, I mean, I guess this is, you know, when you go to a Starbucks, don't even think about it. There's very little sing. Because to them, it's a quantity game. Yeah. They can't take a minute there to sing a beautiful band. They might have a radio next to it. It is not the same. No, they think that it accomplishes the same thing, but it doesn't. One thing that I like to do is say, before you grind the coffee, I bring some of my own personal blend with me

everywhere I go. Can you grind that into it? And then you reach out into your pocket and you pull out a bunch of movie ticket stubs and paper clips and then you hand that to them and sort of let them figure it out. What I like to do is I like to go to the counter and say, hey, I would like the beans that will be in my coffee. And then I take those home and I just sit on them for like 24, 26 hours. Then I come back, they grind those up. Yeah. And then I let someone else drink it. I like to pick each bean out of the bean box like I'm grabbing a lobster at like a nice seafood restaurant. I say, I want this bean and this bean. And I want this bean. And I say this bean looks beautiful. Oh, here we go. And then I turn to them. I say, how many beans does this take to do

one coffee? And they say like a hundred. And I say like, this is going to take too long. And it's going to not be a very funny joke for the podcast. And then I stop. Those are some other things you can do at a coffee store. I love these weird beans. I love my beans. We never talk about that part of it. But you eat beans out of the can on a campfire for a good Western snack. And that's the same as what you do every morning when you get these fast beans, is what I call them, because they make me move just a little bit faster. And you pour hot water through them and you crunch them all up. It's basically what you're doing is it's just bean water, folks. We never think about that it's beans. It's beans. But it's the same kinds of beans that

you would put in a chili or a bad gumbo. How do I confront my landlord about frequent pop-ins? My landlord thinks it's okay to show up whatever he wants because he thinks my roommates and I are all friends with him. In the past, he's shown up to use our kitchen table as a desk to work on. Whoa! Laying flooring until 11 p.m. on a Monday, set up a Christmas tree without request or permission. What the fuck? Bar at our kitchen for cooking, take a shower, sleep on our couch, and worst of all offenses, host game nights at our house, and then invite us, the people who actually live in the home he is renting out to join his party merely hours before being thrown.

What? I am extremely non-confrontational and I'm about to explode at this point. Please, Jesus, help me, brothers. That's from Landlord in La La Land. It's good that you've asked for our help and also Jesus' help because this is going to take all four of us on deck. I will say, okay, first question. When your landlord leaves, do they like walk out and hop into the back of a white surveillance van because I guarantee this is like an elaborate big brother-style TV show where they can't believe you haven't left yet. You were only supposed to be the first episode and now this is gone from place. Yeah, John Kenyans has had you on the hook here for quite some time. This is his longest grift ever. This is wild. It's unacceptable.

These are not poppins in the traditional Landlord sense where they're stopping in to make sure everything's doing okay, interrupting your thing. They're throwing parties at your house. It is breaking and entering at this point. Here's how I think this shook out. The landlord thought, man, I could use a little extra income. I'm going to rent out my house and then you came over and you signed the lease and he gave you the keys and the door shut and he was like, ah, shit, that's my only house. Yeah. So he is, I think, still living there, basically, is what I think has happened, is he has mistakenly not, he has made his own property the rental property. This is the first time that I think we've gotten a question where I've been excited to see

how this plays out on the next episode of Judge Judy. So like, there's a part of me that's kind of like, I've never seen this before, but it's such a weird, I know you're non-confrontational, but I think this is one of those rare cases that requires one of those confrontations I've heard so much about. Well, this is the thing, I get being non-confrontational where someone's like, I want to fight you and you're like, I don't want to fight, but this person is actively punching you in the face. You may need to fight them, it sounds like. Yeah, it sounds like a fight may be in order. Or move? I mean, but you signed the, is there anything in the contract that says like, and by the way, whenever I want to play Carcassonne with my buddies,

you're invited, but it's going to be in your kitchen. So deal with that, because if so, you should have read that contract maybe a little bit closer. Otherwise, it's not acceptable. This is bad, even if I had a friend, even if my best friend was doing this, it would be a problem. All right, we've talked about how bad it is. What can we and Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior, lame of lambs, king of kings, do to- Son of David. Son of David, do to make this a quiet storm. The quiet raging storm. The king of the north, what can all four of us do to make this a better situation? Change the locks. That's illegal. Is it? Yeah, probably not. What if you did it, but then pretend like you didn't? Can you invite like 200 people over to your house so that

like a Tokyo train during rush hour, it's like, sorry, well, I'll full up. Can't get nobody else in here. If you invite enough people over to your house, you probably won't notice that he's there, which is a very good passive way of handling this, because it's already so full. One more person is not going to hurt. Is it possible to hire a drill bit tailor? Okay. And that movie is so important to me for so many reasons, but there's so many situations that could be required by getting a real fucking hard ass like Owen Wilson. Well, what's great, Griffin, is what we're dealing with here is a you-me-and-do-pre-scenario that can be fixed with a drill bit tarot. With another Owen Wilson. Yeah. And if that doesn't work, then you get a dog. What's the dog movie? Not the other

one. The other one, Marley and you. But Marley's a big, vicious dog who's not going to let this gentleman to sort of stride. You-me and Marley, the battle beast. The robot dog. It's because you gotta, if you won't confront them, and I understand that, I'll do it. And I'm not, I'm pretty non-confrontational, but it sounds like this, you're in need of somebody to step in and say like, hey, dude, you can't just come over whenever you want. That's wild. You cannot throw parties at this house where we live. No, no, no. You need to throw your hat into the crowd. You need a new third roommate to come in and beat it back. Mark Loury. Mark Loury won't fuck around in this situation. Yeah, get Mark Loury. It sucks because there's really no other way around it,

other than telling your landlord like, you can't just throw, some of the, if you want to, like, really, if you're really uncomfortable about being non-confrontational, wait for the last thing to happen about throwing a game night at your house without telling you. Because that's unacceptable by literally anybody's standards. And your landlord also knows that it sucks and is not a cool thing to do. And if you come to them and say like, you can't just throw parties at our fucking house dog, then I like, unless they are completely like, removed from the situation, I think they'll understand sort of, I think they'll grok what you're putting down here. And I think the word that you need to invoke is boundaries. We gotta have boundaries. We gotta set some boundaries here, right? Because

I think that is a term that applies to every relationship that exists. So it's not about like, I think you're a bad person or, hey, we're not friends. It's, we need to set some boundaries. Yeah. Like it's one thing if you want to come over and hang out from time to time, but you can't be here when we're not here. Yeah. And again, like, if you're uncomfortable with it, hire Owen Wilson to set up these boundaries for you and he'll just be like, sure. Oh, wow. You can't throw a party over here. Wow. So that's Owen. That's Owen Wilson. Yeah, I've been working on it, me and Brian, my voice teacher. We've been working on Owen lately. I'm going to do some ADR work. I'm moving to Hollywood to become sort of his vocal, verbal stuntman. There's a lot of times

they want Owen Wilson to say words like potty words that he doesn't want to say. He hates saying these potty words, but I'll say them. I don't care. Things like bastard and piss. But I've learned to say them in his voice so that when he's on the set and he's like, wow, I'm really off. And then I'll get in there and I'll be like, piss and just say the potty words for him is a new thing that I'm doing. So if you want, I can do that. Do you do parties? Do you griffin like you just show up and you do Owen Wilson? Yeah, I show up to kids parties and I say the words piss and bastard and ass and shit. Just like Owen Wilson would say. But I say them in Owen Wilson's voice and I don't dress up or anything. I just look like me, but I roll up and then the 10-year-olds are like,

do piss again and I'll be like, piss. It's so good. I've never heard Owen Wilson say that word so I don't know how accurate it is, but it's like Santa Travis with the toilet word and he hates these words. But it sounds like I would imagine he would sound saying it. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Then these, I've spent $30,000 on these lessons. It's paid off. It's worth it. You're going to make that back just on this circuit. I wanted to say, I wanted in this episode with something that I want to talk about real quick because I was looking at other Owen Wilson movies trying to see if there's might be some funny, funny like back catalog stuff that I could pull out. I'd forgotten he was in Armageddon. I was like, wait, Owen Wilson was in Armageddon?

Yeah, he gets got, I think, pretty quick. So I clicked through just, I guess, a closing meditation. The character names in the movie Armageddon are fucking Buck Wilde. Give me some of them. Okay. So Bruce Willis plays Harry S. Stamper. Okay. By itself, that may not be very Buck Wilde. Billy Bob Thorne. Dan Truman. Okay. Still all right. Ben Affleck plays A.J. Frost. All right. Will Patton plays Charles Chick Chapel. Steve Buscemi's name is Rockhound. Okay. He's the transformer. Michael Clark Duncan recipes. He's J. Otis Bear Curlene. Bear is his nickname. J. Otis Curlene, nickname Bear. And Owen Wilson, his character's name is Oscar Choice. It actually isn't. It actually, that doesn't, that's not a name. That was his

long con to try to win an Oscar. Yeah, but they chose to, they were like, thank you for the choice, though. And we're going to pass on this one, I think. Our answer is no to the choice. Folks, that's going to do it for us. Thank you so much for listening. We very much appreciate you. I wanted to give one quick plug. You know, you can watch our TV show on Verve. That's VRV.co. My brother, my brother, me, the show is there. You can watch all six episodes plus all the extra stuff. While you're there, you can check out a new show that I was on. It's called Slug Riot. It's an animated series. I play a character named Very Deadward. He's the basis of this mold core band called Slug Riot. And it's a, there's only one episode up so far, but it was

really fun to do. And the, oh, it looks like the two and three are up too. So you can go watch those too. VRV.co. I believe they're free, or at least the first one is to watch. But Slug Riot is the name of the show. And it was really fun to make. And the episode is just like three minutes long. So go check that out because it was really fun. I want to do just a couple quick plugs. One, this I think it's Thursday, the 25th. I'm going to be at the John Hodgeman and Jean Grey show, the John and Jean show, at the Bell House that night. You can get tickets to that at bit.ly forward slash Travis J and J. And that's in Brooklyn, New York. And before the show, I will be hanging out at the Hinterlands. So if you want to come say hi there, grab a drink, help support

Stuart Wellington and co. Come do that and then come over to the show. I also want to say, speaking of John and Jean, so Hal Loveland and I have a charity fundraising podcast called Surprisingly Nice. And it's been a while since we put an episode out, but we just recorded a new one with John Hodgeman and then special guest Jean Grey shows up. And we've changed our funding model that basically how it is is we're raising money. We set a goal for $500 for this first episode. And when we hit that, we will publish the episode. And that money goes to World Central Kitchen, which is a food charity that makes meals specifically right now. They're working to provide meals for Puerto Rico. And Hodgeman has said that on top of that, every dollar raised for

World Central Kitchen, he will match that and donate to Planned Parenthood because that was his second choice for a charity. So every dollar you donate is going to actually benefit two different charities. You can donate at paypal.me-surprisingly-nice. So far, we've already raised about $250 in just like three days. So I think we're going to hit that $500 and you can help with that. Isn't the Joko Cruise also coming up soon? Yeah, Joko Cruise. I'm not going to be mentioning it much longer because it's in like three weeks. But I'm getting really, really amped for it. It's going to be a super fun time. And I'm really looking forward to it. And you can find out about that at jococrews.com. And one more kind of a coming soon. I'm putting together a show here

in Cincinnati that I'm calling the Cincinnati Underground Society Show. And it is a secret show in that I'm not going to announce who the guests are ahead of time. But for this first show, I've already got five people coming and it's going to be a really good time. So tickets are going to be coming soon for that. And I have made a website for that that I'm going to look up right now. Can I ask if you call it the Cincinnati Underground Secret Society, which is a little bit redundant just so the acronym can be CUS? Yes, absolutely. It's the Cincinnati Underground Society and this is the Cincinnati Underground Society Show. And yes, it's the website I am currently working on is cus.live. And so that is where I'll be putting up. It's right now.

There is literally nothing to the website, but it is on Squarespace. But that is where I will post ticket links and stuff. And hopefully I will have that up soon. And then our first show is going to be March 30th here in Cincinnati. And then my hope is to make it a monthly show with different guests every time. And like secret society pins and that kind of thing. It's going to be a real fun time. But more information about that will be coming soon.
