My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 401: Max Cooljazz

Episode Date: April 9, 2018

We've climbed out of the smoking, anxiety-filled crater of Episode 400 to bring you this, a perfectly normal episode. This one's got a 100 percent guarantee that at no point will Al Roker manifest and dunk on us for our unprofessionalism. OR WILL HE?!? Suggested talking points: Season Three, Boss Monkey, 60 Mile High Club, Office Prank Videos, Billy Joel Cosplay, Wet Salad, I'm the Shrek, Lunch Bunch

The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Hello everybody, and welcome to My Brother, My Brother Me, an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle brother, Travis McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother, 30 under 30 media luminary griffin McElroy. Here it is, this is season three of My Brother, My Brother Me, the podcast,

and I've been watching a lot of, going back and like binging a lot of TV shows from, you know, that like started in 2012 and getting current, and I was thinking about it and I think it's time that we had a character reset. Which one of the three of us, because I've got so much. Actually, you know what? If we're able to volunteer, if this means shedding some of the lore or shedding some of the vor lore about ourselves and just sort of rebooting and maybe we could even bring in a new actor to play 30 under 30 media luminary griffin McElroy. I want you to know I'm already in talks with Adam Scott. I am working with Adam Scott. That is such a good get. It's such a good get. He plays kind of a cynical boy, I feel like, in a lot of his shows

though, and I don't know that that's my brand. We need to tell him, hey, well, but maybe your brand's changing, griffin. That's how a character reset works. For example, I've always been the kind of like curmudgeonly one, a little bit of a stick in the mud, a little bit of like, I take it way too seriously. And Justin's the sex pot. Right. Always talking about fannies. I would like to stay the elderly sex pot. Are you sure? Yes. I feel like I've just started to really inhabit my role as an elderly sex pot and as a room clean hand style, elderly sex pot. Yeah. And I feel like I kind of want to stay there. That's the anchor. That's the anchor of the show. I mean, do you want to go further with it, maybe? Oh, yeah. Older and sexier. Yeah.

Like how old slash sexy do you feel comfortable playing and then go 10% beyond that? So I'm currently a very sexual septagenarian. I could be a very, very sexual octagenarian. I would feel pretty uncomfortable with very, very, very sexual nonagenarian. Well, what we could do is we could make it a storyline within the show where you age rapidly and sex rapidly. Let's, I think the best thing we've done. I'm getting hornier. Someone give me some iron pills. I'm getting hornier. Why did I pick up this cursed stone? I need calcium faster to make my bone or bone some more better. Could we start at 150, very, very, very, very, very horny and then kind of walk it back. And I'm talking about almost a sort of bestial hornyness, like an almost

uncontrollable. We're all of Justin's responses to things just become deep grunts. One and a half centuries of just like and then we'll be like, we'll get some feedback. We will get some one stars from folks like two horny, two old and be like, all right. No, no, no. And then we'll hit a point where it's like, that's the right age, but maybe still a little too horny. So then it'll be like, all right, walk it back. Now I'm 60 and I'm just kind of horny and people are like, I miss it a little bit, though. We'll figure it out. Split the diff. Okay. So there's a, you're saying there's an exact age and an exact hornyness. Yeah. The sex, why access where they meet. That's what we're looking for.

Thank you. Yes. Yes. Yeah, I'll work on it. I feel like that should be in private more than in a public sort of forum like this. Is that fair to say? Well, yeah. I wonder also the etymology of the word sex pot, where there's a medieval times where people like a literal bone down on the pot. It's like a big pot of sex. Yikes. Were people getting in it to do sex or were they doing sex to the pot? Fill it up with some sort of good feeling wax. They could just sort of make their own and explore the wax. All of the above. All right. And some of the below, if you know what I mean. So I'm still me, but older and sexier. Uh-huh. Travis, you are, what's going on with your character? Well, you know, I was a curmudgeon sticking the mud, not having any fun, but I thought,

what if I instead took that in the direction of maybe I'm actually just a little doofy and maybe also a werewolf. Clean shaven Travis. Maybe you would take a turn being the youngest one. And then I'll get replaced by Bam Margera. Okay. And so I'll think, I'm sorry, what was Adam Scott doing? He was going to be me, but then Bam came in and gave you the best performance audition of his fucking life. And so he's going to be me and he's going to do at least three stunts in episode. Like, okay, I have this hot coffee right here. Uh-oh, spilled it. Okay. I'm going to stick with Adam Scott for now. Okay, but Bam can do his stunts. I've seen how Bam treated his father and his uncle and he's very cruel to those old men. And I don't want someone like that around

me, uh, because I'm going to be so old, what it and so sexual that I feel like it's going to be a very juicy target for Bam. Can we get Adam Scott in the mix, but call him Slam Margera and just have Adam Scott do stunts, hit our dad and spill coffee all over us. I don't want anyone to hit our dad. Yeah. You've seemed very hung up on this, this one key aspect of the show. It's just, there was just, there was a zeitgeist, cultural zeitgeist of the jackass crew. And the jackass crew is Johnny Knox, so he's like, what's up? Today, I'm just going to get hit by a fucking car. And everybody's like, yes, yes, we love this. And somebody, Pontius came in and was like, Hey, this time I'm going to just jump off the building. Pontius Pilate is going to, this time I'm

going to, uh, rule on Christ. Do you want, do you want me to get Barabbas? Do you want Christ or Barabbas? Make up your mind. Christ or Barabbas, make your pick. Also, you want me to slam myself in the nuts with a huge monkey's fist knot. Okay, fine. Like sailors do. All right, Bilbo would come in and, and he was like, I'm, I'm going to just smoke a bunch of weed and maybe stay with my nut sack. Okay. What? I couldn't remember the guy's actual, what is it? Steve. Oh, not Bilbo. That's okay. Yeah. And then we're all loving these. Oh, these will come in. No, Bilbo is like so on point, Travis. That's like next level. How did, how was no one asked Steve of, you know, it's Bilbo yet. That's like prime, prime territory.

We had like wild man come in and he'd like put his wiener in a fire truck ladder and like all these stunts, right stunts, stunts, stunts, unbelievable stunts and bam shows up and people like, all right, what do you got? He's like, I'm going to slap my dad's belly while he's asleep. And it's like, that's the way, huh? Why? That's the, that's the stun. Do you think the other jackasses were ever like, and today I got a good stuff. I'm going to slap a bam's dad's belly and bam, I'd be like, actually that's way out of line. That's my fucking dad. That's my fucking dad, man. What are you, that's my blood. Johnny, you know we're brothers, but that's my dad. Maybe they should do a new jackass where they just do things that terrify people our age. Like, like this week

on jackass, I'm pulling all the money out of my 401k before I'm 59 and a half going to be a huge tax penalty. Check it out. This week on jackass, I'm going to call the customer help line for an airline and see if they can move my ticket to a different day. This week on jackass, I'm just going to go to a music festival and there's going to be a lot of people there. Actually like that is, that would be very, at this point in my life, if someone's like, dude, pack it up, we're going to Coachella, I would just like scream, like a, a rabid raccoon, just like screaming, clawing at the walls. And they could fuse. They could fuse. They could fuse. Adam and bam, fuse like Steven Universe in the slam Margera. And we could just make it like

the Olsen twins were like, they would alternate, but you'd never know which one was which. And then Justin is just anywhere between 60 and 150 and anywhere between very horny and very, very, very, very, very horny. Okay. Yes. But I have a request. I would like my role to be portrayed by host of the gong show, Tommy Maitland. I like him to take over for me. I think he's not Mike, not Mike, not Mike Myers. Oh, we could never get Mike Myers. But Tommy Maitland as Justin McRoy, I think would be, there's got to be an off season for the gong show. Sure. So. All right. Let's do it. 401 countdown countdown to 420. Lots of buzz about the 420 episode. Y'all, we don't know anything. We've got nothing planned. Do you know how lucky we got that the timing of

the Margaritaville thing was close enough to episode 400 that it could look like we planned something for episode 400? Yes, exactly. Oh, also, it's a Max Fun drive. 10-0-10 should have mentioned that before. It's a very special time of year where we ask you if you enjoy our show or many of our shows, consider supporting us with a regular donation.

We love being a part of this network and we appreciate all the support you've given us in the past. We're trying to get to 25,000 new and upgrading members.

And we need your help to get there. So if you like our shows and you have the means, please think about supporting us with a donation at maximumfund.org slash donate. Thank you in advance for your support, by the way. But right now, we've wasted enough of your fucking precious time with panhandling and the jackass stuff. All of them. Our jackassery. Our jackassery. Let's get into some advice. Yesterday, someone from... I got three words in, y'all. Yeah, it's not like you skipped one. You added a word. Yesterday, someone was wandering around the office that I work in. Yikes. Wowzers.

Justin, prepositions are really not doing it for you today. There's some typographical issues that I'm trying to do. There are. Yesterday, someone was wandering around the office that I work in in a monkey costume. See, there was a missing in. No, that I work at in a monkey costume. In a monkey costume, making monkey noises and it scared the shit out of me. I was told later that I need to... You know what it is? What?

Can I say something? This is not a joke and I'm going to have to do this right here on the show. I have to increase my font size. Oh, you're getting older before our very eyes. I'm aging. Now are you getting hornier? Oh, yes. I knew it. This isn't right.

You know what? I shall find no relief here on this podcast I make with my brothers. This is a terrible scenario. You know what folks love? But hilarious. A nice big juicy font. Yesterday, someone was wandering around the office that I work in in a monkey costume making monkey noises and it scared the shit out of me.

I was told later that this person was in fact our company's CEO and he does this every year during our company-wide free throw competition. You can't sneak that up on me. You want your bonus this year? All right, let's see how you do. Let's see if you got the help of that taco neck syndrome. And that's my main sort of basketball references, of course, a Taco Bell commercial with taco neck syndrome.

I did not receive an explanation from my co-workers as to why he does this. Now when they say why he does this, do they mean run around in a monkey costume or hold a free throw competition for the employees? I would say column A with a sous son of column B. The issue is that I now have a perfectly reasonable fear of this monkey suit and do not know how to respond to this. How I extract myself from this situation next year and avoid the fear of death that this display inspires within me.

And that's from scared and confused in Denver. Okay, one, you work on the TV show, The Office. And the terrifying thing about that is it was canceled several years ago. So you are actually kind of a prisoner. You're a larping. An interdimensional prisoner who is larping or you're larping as The Office. And we all agreed that the CEO owned this monkey suit prior to any kind of free throw competition happening

and when the free throw competition started out, or maybe the CEO even started the free throw competition as an excuse to wear the monkey suit that they already owned. You're going to look for any opportunity. When all you've got is a monkey suit, everything looks like a free throw competition. Yes. We've always set the adage.

I feel like different entertainment mediums. I've tried to get a fear of monkey's rapes going in me for three years and decades. And they just haven't succeeded like King Kong. The big monster's here. What is it? A big ape? That's fine. I'm not so scared of that, I think.

Uh-oh, rampage. What's the rock going to do to get out of this sticky mess? There's a big, big ape. Well, it's just a big Congo. They're coming, the big apes. Are there dinosaurs too? No, just big apes. Like, are there murderers in there too?

Nope, just the big, just big gorillas. I'm not very afraid of that for some reason. And okay, the ape that you're discussing in rampage is several dozen stories tall. So you're saying, you're telling me, and you saw a 200 foot giant gorilla coming at, and they're the same as apes, everybody. You saw the 200 foot giant gorilla running at you. You would just be like, sorry. I'm not saying they're not dangerous.

I'm just saying. You're saying you're not afraid of them. Not, yeah. No. Okay, but they are dangerous. You're just not afraid of them. No. This is a big question, right?

Is the monkey costume comical or realistic? Because if it's comical, I don't think it's about, but if I turned around in an office setting, a gorilla that I actually don't think I would be as scared about seeing in the wild, right? But if I turned around and saw a gorilla in my office. Right. That might instill in me a bone deep lifelong fear. No, because it's a costume. One of my proudest achievements.

I got scared of a werewolf once, and I'm still afraid of werewolves, Justin. Yes, but that's, but for me, one of my proudest achievements is in life, is I've never been fooled by a gorilla costume, ever. Not once, not for a second. Happens to people on prank shows literally all the time, never happened to me. So I don't have, I wouldn't have a fear of this. I need to drill down on something though. And I think it's like, it's important to this question maybe, but it's important to me definitely.

You say that your boss does this every year during the free throw competition. And then you say, how can I avoid being scared like this next year? But in the question itself, you make no mention of being involved in a free throw competition. It's like a wild reverse check-offs gun, where like if the gun just emerged from somebody's belly button, and it's like, well, nobody's ever mentioned a gun before, and there's just like suddenly a gun. It seems very strange to me that you would not include the context of free throw competition in the initial question.

It's a mental association you're saying. You're not afraid of the monkey costume. You're afraid of how bad you're just gonna brick one up there in the paint in this competition. And you have associated that fear with the big monkey. I can understand that. I get it. I'd feel the same way for sure.

Oh, hell yeah. I'm thinking about my gorilla courage now. I think it's because of the gorilla on the front of the box for Gorilla Munch, the Enviro Kids organic cereal. I don't know if you all have ever seen this gorilla, but he's looking at a bowl of this cereal, and there's some strawberries in it, and there's a little banner letting you know it is gluten-free, and I'm sure the gorilla appreciates that.

And he just looks so chill and so happy to just be close to this cereal. And I think when I see the Rampage Monster, I see the King Kong, I see the Kongo ones. I just think of this gorilla, and I'm like, we have more in common than we have that separates us, little guy. Yeah. I guess that's beautiful. Yeah. So I guess we helped that one.

How's a Yahoo? How's a Yahoo? A lot of people sent this one in. It's from an anonymous Yahoo Answers user, but I'm gonna call them Coco, the gorilla. Type this in on the keyboard, says, Has anybody had sex in space to see if conception works in space? Huh, huh.

I did a little bit of cursory googling. In space, your blood pressure gets low. And so for those of us for whom a boner is an important part of the sexual process, uh, I think we'd just be plumb out of luck without the help of some sort of special space belt, some sort of belt that these NASA scientists are working up. You know, they're deep in their labs. Like we got to come up with the special belt, but I don't think they cracked that one yet.

And so that's off the table. And I'm sure I don't want to be normative. There's lots of other options, right? But I also think like it's pretty small up there on like a ship on this. ISS, shuttle missions, no way. It's the size of like a jet, right? And that's a, it's a tough job to get some privacy up there unless everybody's nasty. And that's a lot to ask for a full flight crew.

Hey, hey, hey, you get up there. Woo, launch went okay. Wow, that was scary. We went so fast. We're like 70 miles above the surface of the earth. And that's kind of wild to think about. Wow, look at the space. I'm getting kind of existentially freaked out.

Is everyone cool with like just doing it? You don't have to participate, but I'm going to and you'll be close. And there's no way to vent the stink. There's no way. Now, I, I did some short quick googling. There have been, and not that sex should be relegated to just married couples, but there has been a married couple that traveled together in space. Yes.

So, I mean, maybe they did it, but here's the thing, let's broaden our definition. That was very scientific Travis. I have a theory with evidence and that is maybe they didn't do it. They would have, like you, but okay. What about hand stuff? You know, let's not. They would have to tell Houston. I think they would have to tell Houston for science.

I think it would make it sexy or not to tell Houston. Like, do you think they would have to know? I don't know if they did or not, but you know when they got picked for the mesh, there was some nasty boys and girls in Houston who like, were like, so, for scientific purposes, while y'all up there, are you gonna? Oh, you know, don't make me say it. Gosh, are you gonna space? What's a good way?

What's a good science way to put it? Are you gonna copulate? I asked them, Valerie, I asked them. I did it. He's just staring at me. Give me my five dollars. He said I wouldn't, but I did it. I did it.

Do you think there's one idiot in Houston where like, every time they go off mic, he's like, y'all gonna go boom? Like, no, no, Derek, we're not. For the last fucking time, we're gonna get out. No, Austin is leaking out of the, no, Derek. Here's what I know about space missions and science research. We have done the most specific shit up there. I'm talking about fucking astronauts going up there, chilling on the ISS for 100 years,

so they got a lot of time on their hands and they're getting science missions from Houston. And they're like, what's on the docket today, Houston? And Houston's like, oh, you're gonna take this doughnut we sent up with you and spin it real fast. So we see what happens when you spin a doughnut real fast because we've done everything else. If we're there, are you telling me that we haven't been at least a little bit curious about like, if we traveled into space and went into the stars, if making love would even be possible? That's the thing, right? Because if you're an astronaut, listen, science, exploration, blah, blah, blah,

but your dream is to be the first person to do blank in space, right? That's why you become, let's be honest, that's why you became an astronaut. You wanted to be the first person to do blank in space. And I guarantee, listen, we all humans, I guarantee someone has filled in that blank. You know what I mean? I don't think that's necessarily true. I don't think that's true, my boy. The suits are very heavy.

Like they're just super heavy and the monitoring is unparalleled. I do not think these people have a few minutes to, like, we sent you to space, like, please focus on science for a second, unless you're, like, one of the people in the ISS who's, of course, sent there to live out their days in their return. It's space, it's space prison. You are sent there when you do astronaut crime and it's a great place, I think, to work out your sentence, but it is, it's... Living on the ISS does increase your chances of meeting the doctor.

I mean, just, like, where is he more likely to show up? Or they, excuse me, where they more likely to show up? On the space station. Here's another question. Also, when you nut, push you backwards. How is that supposed to work? Go ahead, Justin. I said my thing about the, when you nut, it pushes you backwards.

Look at this script. Did we get a clean take, though? If you look at the script, actually, could we get a couple different reads on that one and... Yeah, sure. Well, when you nut, it pushes you backwards. I don't know, y'all. I don't know. I don't know, y'all.

When you nut, wouldn't it push you backwards? That's what I think from my own twisted skewed vision. Now, Griffin, Griffin, could you give us one, like, even your, like, nervous about saying it, like, even your unsure it's an okay thing to say? Yeah, sure. Where are you nut? Never mind. That was good.

It pushes you backwards. Matt, could you give us one, like, a really nerdy scientist? Uh-huh. Let me like to test out, as I have a theory that, when you nut, it pushes you backward. Oh, you sounded so much like dad for a second. Yeah, it's actually scared me coming out of me. Yeah, I hated that. I could do one as our dad, if you want.

Yeah, do one as our dad. Well, when you nut, it pushes you backwards. The worst. I work for a company where my coworkers travel or work remotely. So much. Master Bruce, when you nut, it pushes you backwards. Why do we nut Master Bruce? So we can be pushed backwards.

Look outside the window of this space station. There's no stars. Why? Because they're all in here in this recording booth with Griffin. The master of impressions. Speaking of impressions, when I was watching Shape of Water, I thought for about, I don't know if you guys ever think this, I thought for, and not with a specific person, but I thought for about 15 minutes while watching

it that I had a Michael Shannon. And it was like, I wanted to nurture it and nestle it and kind of grow it. But by the end of the film, it was gone from me. I didn't have a Michael Shannon anymore. I thought I had one, but, and it felt good. It felt like a good part of the repertoire. Maybe not the most instantly recognizable, but still something. And then it, it left me and I just wanted to share the loss.

Did you think about the time that we saw Michael Shannon when we went out for drinks with Lynn? I don't know if this is okay to tell this story on the show, but we were having drinks and then all of a sudden there was Julia Roberts and she was like standing at her. It was not there for this. Oh, okay. It was not there for this one. Julia Roberts came to our table and just said hi. And we all said hi back.

And there was a moment of just like, we're greeting a person. Should we shake her hand? But it never came up because there was sort of just a vibe that we're not supposed to touch Julia Roberts, not allowed to, definitely shouldn't. And then I think we ran into like Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. And at that point I was like, I have to get the fuck out of here. I'm having full blown escape to Margaritaville, red carpet, like panic. I need to go.

And we were like walking out and there was Michael Shannon like by the door. And I walked up to Griffin and he was like, hey, you seem nervous. Are you okay? That's not bad. But I saw him and I just like bolted. I was just like, can't, can't too much. Wait, Griffin, come back. The Justin is Michael Shannon here with us now.

Can we speak? Let me see. He was in there. Bring me the fish, man. Can you say, oh, you know, be a fun thing to hear Michael say. Okay. I got it. No, I got it.

I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. When you nut in space it. Now Griffin, could you give me a reading of that as Vincent D'Onofrio for Men in Black?

Could I do one as the fish man instead? Oh, yes. Yeah. No. I want to do this question. I do want to briefly apologize for the second hand panic that we saw so many people tweet about listening to our episode 400 of the show. Like there were some legit, like we triggered some legit brutal anxiety reactions.

I have not been able to listen to it since we recorded it. So I get it. If you finish it, there is an arc of triumph there. There's an arc to triumph. It is very, it is a tale of overcoming the fears that live in all of us. So when I say all of us, I mean the three of us and you at home listening. It's all about overcoming your fears until eventually you get dunked on real hard by Al Roker. All right.

We're going to do this question. Thank you by another thanks by the way. Ancillary, thanks for everybody who tweeted about Al Roker letting him know about Roker poker. That makes me feel good and not scared for my like career. So cool and great. Cool. Great. And again, apologies to Mary Lou Henry.

I work for a company where my coworkers travel or work remotely so much that I'm often the only one in the office. My job requires my physical presence. So I'm wondering how can I take best advantage of having this big downtown office all to myself? Keep in mind a coworker could show up at any moment. That's from unsupervised in Seattle. You know, I used to be in this scenario. I was when I was a disc jockey, a board operator technically for the radio station over the

weekends, I would go in on the weekends and like literally you're just a human being there to make sure Brad Paisley keeps coming. And then that there's no silence. No, I'm sorry. And I got too deep down the rabbit hole. I ended up like bringing in my PlayStation two and hooking it up to the TV and getting myself a whole little game station and then people would come in and have to look at them and just like, listen, I'm busted.

You got me. This is what I do. You've got me. So it has to look like work. I guess is what I'm saying or let's be able to feasibly look like you're working. They didn't cover if they have to work like how much, you know, like everybody's got a job that has a job, but do you have to work the whole time or could you do your job in like half of the time?

You know, season one and two curmudgeonly Travis would say, here's how you feel the time. You do your job, but here's what season three Travis is going to say. Maybe every day you switch your desk with someone else's and I mean everything in it, everything on top of it, right? And then you just keep doing that every day until everybody's desk is in a different place in the office. Oh, fun, right? I love these fucking pranks.

And then you just fucking pranks and people come in and they're like, oh, oh yeah. No, I guess I was over here and that's for you. That's for you. I love that. Videos of office pranks is my absolute best videos that I can find putting post-it notes all over somebody's shit or like flushing somebody's pictures of their family down the toilet or selling all the computers in the office for drugs. Like pranks is the is my best.

That was my least favorite episode of the office, by the way. When Jim sold all the computers for drugs. Yeah, and did all my good video on the phone is. I did Facebook today and there was a video of a woman who yelled at a bear to tell the bear to go away and was mean to the bear and then said, I'm going to spray you with pepper spray. And then she pepper sprayed the bear and then the bear destroyed her kayak as she watched and begged the bear to stop, even though she was being mean to the bear and she deserved it.

And then the bear destroyed her kayak and she screamed at the bear. Chavis, what's your good video? But I do want to point out why should post that, lady? Hey lady, your kayak got wrecked and you were mean to a bear and you're like, save, post to Facebook. I don't understand. I just like the ones where like the kids behave like adults. And they like, where kids talk and it's like, you understand English is good.

Kids, kid driving on the highway and can't paying taxes. Yeah, I love it. I like the ones that are kids reacting to things that I knew about, but they don't know about it because I'm going to die before they. And they say it like, who is this? This is the Ape Donkey Kong. I hate his barrels. Justin will die before me and they say that every year.

Oh my gosh. And every one of them love that. I love the ones that are like this. This is looking at a Game Boy and they're like, who could ever love this? Probably someone who's going to die before me. If you know what this is, you're going to die before I. Who is this music? I don't like it.

Bell Biv DeVoe. I don't even know who that is. Justin, your days are numbered. I will live forever. I want them to do videos like that where they have like college kids who are like, who did Nirvana? And then, but the, then next to the camera pans over and there's like a three year old is like, what a snapchat.

And then that, that, that the same time the college students like, oh fuck, it's a circle, huh? It's like a circle. Got it. I perfect. I would like to see a vision of that video where it's me reacting to things that did happen while I was also in high school, but I just was never privy to them because I wasn't cool enough when I was like, yeah, they play music that was popular in like 1986.

And I'm like, I don't know what this is. I do not know what this is. Boy, we really got away from that question, but that happens sometimes here on my brother, my brother and me. And that's the kind of like twisted again, South Park humor that we ask you to maybe think about supporting the show with a, a donation by joining the Maxfun support circle. Real quick. You go to maximumfun.org slash donate and find out all the hot dates on that.

Let me tell you how it works. So it works like this. You go to maximumfun.org slash donate. Then you pick a level that you are able to afford every month. And listen, that's important. We know sometimes the spirit can move you and you know what? Sometimes you pick an aspirational level. Don't do that.

We don't want you to do that. We want you to pick a level you can afford. And it starts at just $5 a month. You pick that level and then you pick which shows you listen to. And that is where your money goes. Maxfun takes a small percentage to cover their overhead costs, but mostly you are directly supporting the shows and the hosts that you love. It's, I don't know of another system that works exactly like this.

Um, I mean, there's probably some crowdfunding ones, but literally any sort of pledge based public radio system works pretty, pretty close to this. Justin, $5 a month. Somebody joins us at that level. What are they going to get? You're going to get, uh, I believe it's over 100 hours of bonus content. I actually calculated this year. I think it's like more like 125.

So like we're talking five days of bonus content for you to enjoy. And that's from all the shows on the network throughout, throughout time. So there's, there's a bonus mobim bams in there. This year we did all our old great segments. Like what, what would you even do if, and, um, monthly observances, uh, we, we got lots of bonus mobim bams on there. There's our eighth year doing this. But then there's bonus J.J.

It goes. There's bonus adventure zones. There's bonus, uh, spanners. There's bonus everything. Bonus Jonas. Bonus Jonas is in there. Um, there's a, there's an adventure zone, by the way. Well, the one we did this year is really fun.

It's, uh, four Sherlock Holmes and a vampire that is one of the aforementioned Sherlock Holmes, that just a DM that was really fun. But there's also, uh, adventure zone nights, an arc with characters that you can only hear, um, in the, in the, uh, bonus content, including special guest, Lin-Manuel Miranda, playing Dungeons and Dragons with us. I believe for the only time in his entire life. Right.

So $10 a month, you're going to get, uh, everything at the lower, every time you step up, you get, uh, everything in the lower level. So at $10 a month, you get the bonus content, and you get a drive exclusive enamel pin designed by Megan Lynn Cott. Uh, there's new design. We did this last year. This year, there's new designs for all the Maxfun shows, and you get to pick your favorite when you make the donation.

And you get a Maxfun membership card. The pin for us this year is based on our, our, our, uh, battle cry, stronger together. You can see a pretty, uh, you can see it at maximfun.org, such donate when you become a member. It is powerful and it lets people know sort of what you're all about. And I believe I've, I've, I've seen some people talking about like, oh, I can't choose between the pins.

If we hit our goal of 25,000 new and upgrading donors, they will make, uh, pins available for purchase for whoever wants them. For, for people who donated at the $10 per month level, uh, Travis, $20 per month. At $20 per month, you're going to get the bonus content. You're going to get the pen, but you're also going to get the Maxfun family cookbook, uh, which is lovingly curated with, uh, recipes for Maxfun hosts, anywhere from cocktails to desserts and everywhere in between.

And also included in that, you're going to get a set of, uh, space themed cookie cutters for you to use while I guess you make cocktails. You know, we just didn't put in a recipe from, from our mom's chest bars, um, that were very, very, very tasty. Dad apparently let us know that, uh, the recipe for spaghetti, again, spaghetti, spaghetti, again, is in the book. Uh, Rachel put in her chili recipe that we've talked about on wonderful before.

So we got a lot of stuff in there that you're going to really, really get down on. If you want to make a like podcast comedy magic, you've got to eat this spaghetti. It is not as funny as you remember it. So, uh, we have higher levels too. If you, if you have the means and you, you want to go in on those higher levels, we, we sure do appreciate you, but really we don't care, uh, what, what level you donate at,

all that we care about is that you, uh, show, show your support in whatever capacity you are able to show it. It means a lot to us. It helps, uh, support us and the network. It has helped us turn this into a career. This is Travis's full time job. This is, uh, what allowed dad to quit the, or retire from the radio station last year, uh,

where he was working really bonkers hours and was kind of unhappy. And now it's just doing this full time. Now just do an adventure zone. And let me also be really amazing. This is my only full time job, but Justin and Griffin, I mean, even though you also work at Polygon, this is also full time jobs for you. I mean, between recording this show, putting the yahoo together

and putting questions together and adventure zone and editing adventure zone and Justin doing saw bones. Like we are all podcasting a full time at this point. And the reason for that, I'm not allowed to stop. Yeah, ever. No, it's important because I will say that not only the, listen, I would be lying if I said the money didn't help make this a full time job.

That is how jobs work. But more than that, it is knowing how much this matters to people, directly seeing people every year tweet, like I supported MBNBAM because I love it, right? That lets us know, think about it this way, we've been doing it eight years and we have 400 episodes, which averages out to like 50 episodes a year. So we aren't missing episodes when we can help it.

And the reason is we know how important it is to people. We know that this show matters. So we make it a priority and we treat it like a job. And that's important. And it's a two way street because when you donate, you know that you have helped support the show. Every time you listen to it from that point on, you will know that you're part of the supporting team.

And that's cool for you also, as well as receiving these great gifts. So maximumfund.org slash donate, pick the level that's right for you, pick the shows that you listen to, where you want your money to go, and thank you all so, so, so much. I want to say two more quick things before we move on. And that is, it's important to note that the goal is not just new donors,

it's also upgrading donors. So if you've been a member before, thank you so much. Can't say thank you enough. But if you started listening to more shows over the year and we have added a whole bunch of new shows, or maybe just the shows that you listen to have filled an even more important part of your life, then maybe think about it's time to, you know,

move from five to 10 or 10 to 20 or whatever you want to do. And also, we also understand that not everybody can afford it. We totally get that, that is very reasonable and we don't, we don't begrudge that at all. But you can still help by going on social media and spreading the word saying like, hey, it's Max, it's hashtag MaxFunDrive. Make sure you go to maximumfund.org

slash donate and consider supporting the shows you love. That helps, that means the world to us. So just, there's so many ways you can help and we really appreciate it. How about a Yahoo? Do it, coward. Okay. This one's sent by Morgan Davy.

Keep it waving, Morgan Davy. It's Yahoo Answers user. Sorry, something's gone wrong. I refuse, I refuse. You have an avatar, you've got to have a name. You got to have a fucking name. Shit. What?

It just won't load. I'll call them Braxton. Okay, for a second, Griffin, I thought you were saying, I'll call them. Okay. I'll call them, hold on. Hey, who's this? Yahoo Weirdo?

What's your name? Braxton? Great. Braxton asks, Billy Joel costume? I am doing a report as Billy Joel. We're gonna get the fuck into that before we get into the rest of the question, but okay.

I have to give a speech and dress up like Billy. If I, you would have any good suggestions for what I could wear, that'd be great. Thanks. Okay. What is the Billy Joel report that you're giving? Is it history class and you're doing like a, we didn't start the fire and it's just like,

George Washington was the first president. He did his best and he had wooden teeth. Hey. Or maybe it's a report on Billy Joel? As Billy Joel, like your Hal Holbrook of Billy Joel. I love it. Sir, this is US history. Yeah, Billy Joel made US history

when he released his great album. I was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. One thing I know about me is I didn't start any fires. The year was 1889. I fell in love with an uptown girl. Billy Joel costume. What's going on? I remember when I was born and for the longest time,

I was a baby. All right. But Travis is sort of writing the report for them, which is going to be a very helpful sort of thing when they listen to this episode, but they're not going to know what to wear to be Billy Joel. Is a t-shirt that you have written, I am Billy Joel on it, out of the question.

Hey, which Billy? There's a lot of different Billy's. Nowadays, you're going to go with kind of a black jacket, black pants, black t-shirt, black sunglasses, shaved head kind of build. Now, if you want to go back to the days, get yourself some White Wall tires. Yes, White Wall tires, big shoes.

It seemed like Billy was into big shoes and he kind of rolled up, packs the cigarettes in his sleeves, and he had acid washed jeans, which were huge. The still rock and roll to me look is very good. It's like a bright reddish orange jacket, white tie, black shirt, and just gigantic hair. Just the biggest, poofiest, very, very big hair. We could go early 90s, big colorful windbreaker,

hyper-color tank top, Jinko shorts, and sort of Birkenstock sandals. And that's when he was like, you know, I remember that short period where he had his own little sort of like musical alter ego of Max Cool Jazz. So you could do the very short sort of Max Cool Jazz phase, and that could be like a fun way of covering it.

My favorite part of the Max Cool Jazz phase is when like the neighborhood kids would be like, hey mister, what's the Max stand for? And he'd look at me with lower sunglasses and he'd say, Max alone. And then they would know that he was playing Cool Jazz to a very limit of the art form. That's the coolest jazz we've ever heard!

So show up in your Max Cool Jazz cosplay and bring out your theremin, which people will be like on the stage and they'd be like, Piano Man! And he'd be like, I don't have my piano. I don't have my piano. I'm the theremin man now. Or theremin man.

I'm the theremin man, Max Cool Jazz. And here's my new song, Space Aliens. This is the day of my new song. Here it goes. Is there a question mark at the end of that, Griffin? It's more of like a surprise. Oh, okay. And you, yeah.

So what, I think really the iconic for me is the black jacket, black shirt, black pants, shaved head, sunglasses. Yeah. Maybe you have like a, but that may people might think that you're like a cool hit man, which is aesthetic.

And so I think you need even more. Maybe you have a small piano that you bring out there with you. Ooh, I like the context. Just so people know. What if you, what if you build a diorama that you stood in that demonstrated you walking by the river of dreams, right?

And it was like, oh, okay, clearly, that's the river of dreams. And you're walking by it. Oh, okay. So we can, yes, we can do this. Deb, all black, shaved head, loving it. You walk into the classroom soaking wet. Just douse yourself in the bathroom.

And also you're carrying a big plate of spaghetti. And people will be like, what? And you'd be like, looks like I fell into the river of dreams while on my way to the scenes from Italian restaurants. Yeah, walk into your classroom and say, who wants some red and who wants some white? And just start pouring some wine for your classmates.

For your high school class. And that's good. And, but I'll tell you what, you walk in that class dressed up like Billy Joel soaking wet with a plate of spaghetti. People will be like, that's Billy Joel. He fell in the river of dreams on his way to the river, on the way to the Italian restaurant.

I know what you're doing. That's Dr. William Joel, if I've ever seen him. I'm just trying to have fun with you guys. But Travis reminded me that it's still rocking a roll with me. He's so angry. Do you mean the song in which Billy Joel has a conversation about, with himself,

about rock and roll and whether rock and roll is still itself rock and roll? Yeah, it's so hot. It's just you read the lyrics. Uh-huh. Yeah. And it says like, Nowadays you can't be too sentimental.

Your best bet's a true baby blue continental hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk. It's still rock and roll to me. It is so, I love a lot of Billy Joel songs. And I do not mean to dunk on the man. It is wild to me that he wrote that. And he looked at it and he's like, that's a song. And then he took it to other people with instruments

and they were like, you got a song on your hands, Bill. And then they put it out. And then America was like, what am I hearing? Is this a song? Because it sounds like a song. And I'm the, I feel like the lone man on an island who's like, it's not a song. What?

There's nothing. He's done nothing. It fills in. What are we doing? It fits into a category of song that is one of my favorites. Oh, we're going to talk about this again. I should warn you before you go too deep on this,

we talked about this exact kind of some category on our last song episode. Songs that reaffirm that rock and roll still exists? Yes, we can. Oh no. Well, my new favorite one, because I was listening to the new train song that is set to the music of no joke, heart and soul.

Yes. What are they doing? You didn't do a song. He forgot how to play piano. And this song is a self-referential song that doesn't, that references the song in third person that says, hey, play that song, not this song, but that song.

That other song, it's like it is trained version of the greatest song in the world by Tenacious State. It's not the greatest song in the world, it's just a tribute. It's just a tribute to that. And it made me start thinking about how many songs there are. They're like, hey, Mr. DJ, put that record on. I want to dance with my baby.

What record? You know the what? You know the what? I'm talking about Max Cool Jazz's kind of blue too. I think you can wear whatever you want for your Billy Joel report. But let me paint the scene. Teachers in the front of the class and they're like, Dylan,

Dylan, it's time for your report. Has anybody seen Dylan? And then you smash it through the wall in your car. Griffin, we went the whole bit without mentioning the most obvious guess. And then you get out and you're like, what's up, everybody? So piano, man. We went the whole bit without mentioning

that he was married to somebody from West Virginia that we grew up with. And then he crashed his car into three houses in two years. Yeah, but I guess I'm OK. Well, anyway, so that's it for that bit. Billy Joel? Hey, it's Billy Joel. I want a mug.

Joel. Jazz. River of Dreams. Uptown. This one isn't that real quick. This isn't for the Munch Squad specifically, but it is part of the podcast. Welcome to Munch Squad.

It's a podcast for them, a podcast about what's hot, what's new in the world of fast food. I want to say a big Munch Squad. Congratulations to Brad Reed. Just got promoted to chief development officer over Captain D's. So Brad's a big fan. He is moving up after being vice president

of franchise operations. How do they not fucking call that first mate in charge of development? You know what I mean? Well, because it's a publicly traded company, Travis. I think they probably want to handle things like other normal ones. No, I want to talk about Zaxby's.

I literally don't know what word you just said, my friend. That's fine. Zaxby's is a chicken chain. Run by aliens. It is in the south. Hello, I am Zaxby. We have zapped your small birds with our laser guns. Mr. Joel.

Mr. Joel, the Earth's last hope. Billy Joel, you'll never stop us now. What's that new sound? It's actually not a new. This isn't Rock and Roll. This isn't Rock and Roll. It is to me. Well, Bill, you can't just say that anyway.

Who's that champion in the car with white-walled tires? And why is he driving at our restaurant so fast and reckless? Slow down, Mr. Joel. No, it's a chicken chain in the south. It's very good. I only get to enjoy it when I'm headed to the beach to get on island time. Me and the Smalls always make a point.

Well, I kind of bully them into it. They have a drive-through of Zaxby's. Not drive-through of Zaxby's, I'm not Billy Joel. Drive-through of Zaxby's. Can we leave Mr. Joel alone? We broke the seventh seal. The horn's on high blue. And then we knew that there were only jokes

we were going to tell for the rest of the episode. OK. OK. Zaxby's has good news for Zaxby's fans. The sensational... The Zensation Zalad is returning to Zaxby's for a limited time. My teeth already fucking hurt,

and I've already only done it a couple of times. As requested by thousands of fans, Zaxby's is bringing back the Zensation Zalad at all Zaxby's locations in 17 states from April 2nd. OK, so you've only missed a few days of it. To July 1st, with bright flavors and bold textures. The Zensation Zalad. Oh, God, it's really getting uncomfortable now.

Guys, like, make Z's over and over again. It really starts to get in play. No, I was in speech therapy. I know. Bad mouthfeel. Combines indescribably great ingredients with Asian flair. Not a good word to describe food. Yeah, indescribably great ingredients.

But what's in it, Zaxby's? I wish I could tell you. We don't even know. There are no words in your human tongue. The Zensation Zalad is our most frequently requested limited time offer item, says Stephanie Gamble, Vice President of Menu Innovation. And we continue to bring it back because guests love it.

I can't begin to tell you how many times we've heard. I don't even eat salads, but I love the Zensation. So wait. Finally, a salad for people that wouldn't touch a salad with their neighbor's fork. They wouldn't get near it. But now you've got the one salad, the Zensation. It's been about four minutes now since I found out

we were doing a salad one. And now my mind won't stop racing, thinking of what they have put on this to make the texture so indescribable. I'm like, I'm thinking Takis. Thinking this one's maybe got Takis. So the Zensation provides sweet and savory flavors like sesame, pineapple, orange juice, ginger, garlic,

soy, rice vinegar, honey, and salad, and brown sugar, and great textures from hand-chopped lettuces, crispy wontons, crunchy Asian slaw, and a veggie roll. Add Zaxby's signature chicken fingers for a salad that's a perfect combination of the vibrant and the familiar. The reason I wanted to highlight this, and it's also for the code that's coming up after this, but there's one highlight that they have not given you folks

a list of ingredients. I want to make sure we're all on the same page here. You asked what was in the salad, and Zaxby's turn from its grim work looked you dead in the eye and gave you a list of different feelings that you're going to experience while consuming the salad. They're describing the salad from your point of view, not telling you what goes to create the flavors

of sesame, pineapple, orange juice, ginger, garlic, soy, rice vinegar, honey, and brown sugar. They just have those flavors. It's just indescribable. There's so much fluid. This sounds all right. It sounds like a nice little Asian salad with chicken on it, and also there's some sort of spring roll in there,

and that's kind of wild. But okay, Zaxby's, I'll play with me. And I understand there's just a lot of liquid content in there. I'm wondering if this is a cold soup, a gazpacho. So here's the quote, and I know what you're wanting to do yourself. Why doesn't Zaxby's offer this? If people love the Zanzations so much, why doesn't Zaxby's just offer it year-round?

Like they do with the birthday cake milkshake, for example. The answer is this. For the Zanzation, Gamble says, we use four unique ingredients that must be inventoried, prepped, and monitored daily. What? The build is a different process than our typical salads, and it requires training and diligent reinforcement.

What? We're gonna escape. Someone said we got a fucking pineapple thief on our hands. You think we can trot with a fucking salad burglar around? Scrubble, scrubble. Scrubble, scrubble, give me that rice vinegar. You only got fucking J.K. Simmons to come in and throw chicken fingers at people when they didn't diligently make the salad good enough.

But it's worth it, as there's nothing more rewarding than bringing back a fan favorite and making our guests happy. So what they're saying is like, we could do this year-round. It's very hard, and we're tired here at Zach's Rees, and we'd rather not do it all the time. This is exhausting that you're asking. What are you asking us to do right now? You know how big of a favor you're asking us to do

by bringing back the salad, and yet you persist. It's like, I wish every fast food restaurant was this up front about it. Like, yeah, Szechuan sauce is back. We're not looking forward to it. Last time we tried this, a bunch of fucking nerds tried to burn down 13 of our establishments. So we'll do this Szechuan sauce at great cost to ourselves, but somebody brought a fucking sword into one of our restaurants last time.

So we're not so wild about it. And those are just the people that didn't have a concealed carry sword license. There's probably a lot of undercover swords. They said they were cosplaying Rick and Morty, but they had swords. I do what you think. I don't know, man. One last note here, Zach Spies, does suggest, I know what you're saying, what about pairing the entree with something?

Zach Spies suggests pairing the, we got the Zemolier over here, and he suggests pairing the Zinzation Zalad with the exclusive Coca-Cola freestyle mix, Southern Peach Fizzle. So in case you're looking for a pairing recommendation, that is what our Zemolier recommends. You, of course, are free to make your own choice. Okay, I'm going to find out first of all what this restaurant is, where it is, how they do what they do, and then get one of these very wet salads.

Get one single wet salad. How about a question, Juice? The high school in my town is performing Shrek the Musical. I want to go see it, but I have no connections to the high school. I didn't go there. I don't know any students or parents of students that attend. Is it weird for me to go? How would a late 20s Shrek enthusiast go about doing so?

An all-star in Woodland Park, Colorado. This is, they're doing it for you. Yeah, like you are, you just, is this where we're at, folks? Like are we? I know, I'm with you, and I understand you, and I am you. I get what you're saying, but like, well, I don't know the Foo Fighters. It would be weird if I went to see them. I knew the Foo Fighters, and I don't know any parents of the Foo Fighters.

I'm not making fun of you. I swear to God, I'm with you. I don't know, Dave. So my, is it weird if I go see a show as the Foo Fighters? There is a certain, I do, we have reached the point where like, I get that there's a perceived, and maybe it's not all bad, perceived like, I'm not supposed to be there unless I'm connected to it feeling. Oh, high schools are the most.

High schools are the most. Whenever I go, when we went back to Huntington High School, which is where I went to school to shoot stuff for the TV show, there is nothing like being in a school, even if it's one that you went to, that makes you feel like, especially in elementary school, where everything's a little bit littler, and then you feel like the rampage gorilla, and you're just smashing through the hallways of the high school, like John Mayer's saying about in his song, he's like,

I want to smash through the halls of my high school. I'll kick apart all the lockers and desks. Like it makes you feel like you're committing your trespassing, and I get that. I think that's probably where they're coming from a little bit. I think the Shrek Fiona, the whole gang would be thrilled to see you at the show. I think that that would be a delight. But you make sure you announce as you go in like,

I'm just here because I love Shrek. Yeah, I love Shrek. I'm not a student. Donkey! What if we're wrong though? And they show up, and it's all high schoolers, and you, and at one point Shrek points in the audience, and he's like, Look at that.

Look at that perv. Interloper. That's interloper. Attack. Teens. Attack. Donkey. Maybe you walk up and say, I'm with Shrek.

I know Shrek. Romantically. I'm an invited guest of Mr. Shrek. I am Shrek. I'll be playing Shrek the Series. Oh, that's fun. So those stairs next to the stage, anybody can just go up those and say like, Do you guys have a Shrek for tonight?

Because I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. Yeah, I heard you guys were doing Shrek, so I was just seeing if I could sign up to be Shrek. You just had to put a quarter on the edge of the stage to indicate that you have next. I'm next on Shrek. Next on Shrek. But listen, I will not eat a bug. I will not eat a bug, and I don't want that goddamn scene-stealing donkey up here with me.

I'll turn my earwax into a candle. I will wash my teeth with slime. I will not eat a fucking bug. Or a parfait. I don't like them, which makes me perfect for the role of Shrek. I'm not going to eat a slime parfait, because I'm a dentist in this town and people know who I am. They won't come see me.

You try to get me up here to eat a bug. You're trying to embarrass me. I'm running for mayor. Hey, I have a yahoo here that we can do real fast. Yeah. It's sent by Brooks Oglesby. Thanks, Brooks. This yahoo answers user.

Maybe this one will load. Sawyer Babe asks, Why is it called the Breakfast Club? What does the title have to do with the movie? Thank you. Thank you. They eat lunch. It's in the movie because at the end,

Anthony Michael Hall signs their essay as the Breakfast Club. But why? That's fine. But why, Anthony? There's not a scene I don't think. There is a scene where they I think eat. Lunch. Like lunch.

They eat lunch. This should be the lunch club. It should be the lunch club, Travis. There's not a scene where Molly Ringwald pulls out a bagel. There's a scene where they smoke a bunch of weed. They could be the weed club. They could be the weed club. They could be the problems club.

The bad family. The bad family crew. But they don't breakfast at any point. It's so weird. What if it turned out that that's why they were all in detention? Because outside of the detention thing, they are all in a club called the Breakfast Club where they would just get together and talk about breakfast.

And one day they did that in a room where they weren't supposed to. And it's like, well, you have detention. And that backstory part is just never mentioned in the movie. Okay. I have some news. The original title of the Breakfast Club was The Lunch Bunch. That's a much better title. That doesn't nullify us at talking about it.

Because they purposefully saw the off-ramp and didn't get on it. And they're like, oh, shit, what's the next off-ramp? Breakfast. Okay, oops. Do you think the problem was the Lunch Bunch just sounds too dang whimsical? And everyone was like, this sounds like a wacky spring break who's going to get laid sex comedy? And then you get in there and it's like, oh, no.

They're talking about their problems. Serious family stuff. This is like if they called Forrest Gump like jumping man. Or running man. And he doesn't jump that much. It's not very much like a part of the thank you trials for not really understanding the premise. I just wanted to make a joke because Running Man is already a movie.

It does seem kind of like they wrote, like they filmed the whole movie and they didn't know what they were going to call it. And someone's just like, can you pretend like we've said Breakfast Club a lot? Anthony, can you pretend like we said Breakfast Club a lot during the movie and just kind of end it like that in a real confident way? Maybe it was a flood. Maybe he was supposed to say Lunch Club and he said Breakfast Club, but it was the only clean take they got.

He was so hungry they filmed that last scene at eight o'clock. He hadn't had his yogurt. Or maybe like they were going to call it Lunch Bunch, but then when they were filming the movie, they were like, there's a possibility we can make this a trilogy. Yes. It's not too late. That actually makes a lot of sense.

We could still make Lunch Bunch. And Dinner Winners. It's about PUBG. Just a gang. The gang is there and they're playing Public G together. He's one hit, Emilio. Push. Folks, that is going to do it for us this week.

Thank you so much. One last push. And I do mean last because we won't be with you again before the drive is over. Maximumfun.org forward slash donate. If you like our show and it makes you feel good to listen to it and you'd like to support it and support us in making more stuff, that's the address. And supporting all the shows on the network

or the ones that you listen to because that is an important point that your donation portion of it goes to Maximumfun to help pay for their great staff and they make our lives so much easier day in, day out. But also you choose the shows that you listen to when you sign up and those are the shows that get your money. They split it up. So it's really important that you choose what shows you listen to but know that you are funding those shows.

You are part of the team of those shows, if you will. Yeah, again, it means a lot to us and we can't imagine doing this anywhere else. The Maximumfun network has been a home for us for eight years now and has given us so much and you all have given us so much. And if you're new or you've been consuming more content, just think about going to Maximumfun.org slash donate and helping us hit that 25,000 new and upgrading member goal. And yeah, thank you so much.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much and thanks to John Rodrick in the Long Winters for the use of our theme song. It's a departure off the album, putting the days to bed. It was so great, so great to have that and still is great. And thank you to Al Roker for everything. Everything, you know what? No, thanks to Al Roker.

I'm tired of supplicating myself. He did me dirty out there. Thanks to Corey Cott. How about that? Yes, thanks to Matt Doyle. Not being there, but being there. Always being there. Also, real quick, our Dallas and Houston shows are coming up this weekend

when you hear this and there are still some tickets left available, especially Houston. Houston, please. Where are you, Houston? Houston, please. Houston, we have a problem. Please. Macro shows.com slash tours.

And send you your questions now. Make sure to put in the subject line, like Dallas show or Houston show. Also, I've got another Cincinnati Underground Society show coming up April 28th. Tickets are on sale now. You can get those at bit.ly. Kasky 2018, that's C-U-S-S-K-E-Y 2018. We had a real blast at last month's show. And I hope to see you out at this month's show.

Bit.ly slash Kasky 2018. Yeah. And also, the May shows are going to come up sooner than you think. So send in questions for those too. Speaking of May, we're going to be doing saw bones, still buffering and quarter pointed at the Columbus podcast festival on Saturday, May 12th. You can get tickets.

The link is hard for me to find. But if you Google, you will find the way to get tickets. I don't have a punchy bit.ly link like Travis. Oh, come on. I'm sorry, Trav.m. I just can't. I just don't have one. But yeah, we're going to be doing those three shows back to back to back

because they'll come see us. It'll be fun. I need, yeah, who's also for the live shows. Please, please get them in. Thank you. That's weird. All right. Finally, yeah, who this one was sent in by Merritt Palmer.

Thank you, Merritt. It's the Yahoo Answers user, Ashley, who asks, Hey, um, how do I get the wax covering on baby bell cheese out of my ear? My name is Justin McRoy. I'm Travis McRoy. I'm Griffin McRoy. This has been my brother, my brother, me. Kiss your dad.
