My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 454: Face 2 Face: April Foods’ Day

Episode Date: April 8, 2019

We apologize to the city of San Jose for how many pranks we did on this episode, in which we celebrated the Great Pranking Day while recording a live show. If you want to be similarly pranked, good ne...ws! This episode also has details on the Become the Monster tour, coming (maybe) to a city near you!

Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Hello everybody and welcome to my brother. My brother made an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin Tyler McElroy. I'm your middle-aged brother, Travis Patrick McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother in 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Andie to his friends. Falling one and a half feet off of my brother's back has broken every bone in my body apparently. Yeah, I chose to run around the backstage to make a second entrance from stage right, and I'm exhausted. Yeah, mistakes. What was I thinking? That was a little hearty. We have had a lovely time in your beautiful setting. Can I say everyone has been so nice. Makes all the other cities in California look like big old stinkholes. Unless of course you're from those cities in which case we love those two.
Starting point is 00:01:54 We had a very exciting today. I fulfilled a nine lifelong dream of going to the Winchester Mystery House. A thing I've wanted to do since I was like 10 years old, and it did not disappoint. And it's a thing I've wanted to do since about 10 a.m. So yeah. We ran into about 70% of you while we were there. It's not very surprising. Yeah, I will say there were a couple things that did disappoint. Sorry, minor things. The door to nowhere and went outside. Yeah. That's a place. That's a where. That's a place.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Not a good way. You wouldn't want to do it, but it wasn't just a void, which is what I had hoped. The Winchester House, if you don't know, was created by Sarah Winchester and heir to the Winchester fortune. This is for the folks at home. Y'all know what the fuck's up. Yeah, you know what's up. But like later, I don't want people to be lost who thought, perhaps, that the ghosts of people that were shot by Winchester rifles were haunting her. So she built a buckwild house. I like to think she'd be a big fan of this podcast.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I love anybody that's like, I think I got a ghost problem and I think what I'm going to do is make a maze for the ghost so that it's a it's a it's a wild house where ghosts are supposed to go in a room. Be like, where the fuck am I? I was supposed to haunt that lady, but I am all turned around. There's a window into another room. I'm just going to go. I'm going to go through there. Yeah. Yahoo answers user XOSarahOX asks, I think I'm going to build a maze for the ghost.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I will also say though, at the beginning of the tour, another thing I wasn't expecting is the tour guide to say like, you know, she didn't keep a diary or anything. So we don't know exactly why she built the house like this. Well, we have some theories and it's ghosts and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. Hold on. She might have just been real eccentric. Yeah, I think about this. If I had as much money as she did, I might also say, put a door there.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I don't care. Whatever. There are these, if you've never been, you should go. But if you've never been, there are these stairs. They're called switchback stairs. And they have like, they're very low rise, right? So it's like, it's hugely disorienting each step. It's like a one to two inch rise, right?
Starting point is 00:04:16 So you're climbing the stairs and they, the guide is like, and be careful in this, this staircase because it's something like any of you've ever been on. And it's extremely low stairs. And so we're climbing up them and like, whoa, this is the first thing you do. And you're like, whoa, this is so narrow. All the steps are so weird. What a weird house that you get to the top and the guy's like, now she had those built because they were terrible arthritis.
Starting point is 00:04:37 She couldn't lift her feet up. It's like, okay, there's zero mysterious about that. Yeah. And you definitely misled me into dunking on these wild stairs at downstairs. And now you're upstairs. You're like, hey monsters. She needed them. There were prescription stairs.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I appreciated at the very, about halfway through our guide point into this picture of some of the workers on the house and said, these are some of the spirits that live here. And in fact, the one on the far right, this, this dude in overalls with a fine moustache, as every gentleman in the photo did actually. Even the child in the photo. The child had a moustache. Said, people see him on the grounds all the time.
Starting point is 00:05:20 And if you keep an eye out, you may see him too, which I thought was a coded message to mean we have hired an actor to jump out of a closet, like a fucking temple guard from legends of the hidden temple and give you a good spook. And so every other room we went in, I was just like, yeah, didn't happen. But there was also kind of a throwaway line for the tour guide where tour guide said, these, this is the third floor. It would have been the servants quarters or extra storage. That's shitty.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Whoa, hold on. Hey, I'm going to need your bedroom. She bought some extra Christmas ornaments this year. Oh, man. So this is an advice show as you certainly guessed by now. If you've never listened to our program before, we take your questions and turn them alchemy like into wisdom. We have some questions here from the audience.
Starting point is 00:06:11 We have some questions from the answer service. And later on in the show, we're going to be getting some questions from you, which you have submitted so kindly via email. Thank you for doing that. All right. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Let's go. Riddle me piece, boy. No, fuck off. You're not supposed to lead with it. That's a fucking combo breaker. But you see, riddle me piece only takes 30 seconds. So I did. I wanted to get it right out of the way.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Just a nice one. That would be a delightful vine to swing to and energy has lull. No, I'm going to do it right now, boys. Oh, God. In my home town of San Jose. Not Travis's. Remember, it's the character. The riddle master is from San Jose.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Just from San Jose. I'm so glad to be back home. Now, boys, let me give you a real brain twister. This, of course, from riddles.com. Of course. Riddle. Avoid me and you'll look at me and you'll die. Who am I?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Oh, riddle master is feeling flirty tonight. I love that. Real saucy paint. Feeling cute. Might delete later. Charlie, she can't go. If you look, if you avoid it, you look. Avoid me and you'll lose.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Both of those sentences say the same fucking thing. Look at me and you'll die. Who am I? I was going to say the sun. I was also thinking the sun. Oh, a good guess. That's probably not the sun. Do you want to know the answer?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yeah. I guess. Avoid me and you'll live. Look at me and you'll die. Who am I? Answer the bird box monster. That's a plot of that movie. Sure.
Starting point is 00:08:45 That's really good. Holy shit. You are a goon. All right. Man. Wow. Thank you, riddle master. Thanks, riddle master.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah, he got us again. Anyway, sir, here's questions. Oh, man. This happens sometimes when we record at home. Y'all don't usually see how much I cut out of Justin's just after shots. See? All right.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Oh, man. It would be like, it would be like if the riddle was like, one of my hands is a glove and my nails are long metal. And it's like, who am I? I'm Freddie Krupper. You remember? Yes. To the monster from the movie.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Yes. I was down to, I want to get it together. I was, you all paid a lot for these tickets. I was downtown a few weeks ago with my boyfriend as I was walking a tall man shuffled past that's going the other direction. He, I have a stitch. He bumped into me and mumbled, give me all your money.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I made quick eye contact and kept going. He didn't even stop to take the money. Did I get mugged? And that's from slightly shell shocked in Santa Cruz. Are you here? Oh, wait, hold on. You're not 60 people. Well, unless this dude's been like running this grip all over.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Oh, damn. Okay. One voice. Are you here? Okay. I like, I like the question of, did I get mugged? Because if someone like pointed a knife at me and said, give me all your money,
Starting point is 00:10:47 and then they were somehow thwarted by a passerby and I didn't actually hand over the money, I would still say I was mugged. Of course. I don't know how far you can walk that back. Before it stops being a mugger. That's like, that's like seeing someone get mugged and be like, that could have been me.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I was, I was there just a second ago. I could have got mugged that way. As he shuffled past, was he like, give me all your money? No? Okay. Totally cool. I mean, in his defense, you got to try. If you don't ask for so all of someone's money,
Starting point is 00:11:25 how are you ever going to get all of someone's money? Yeah. It's easier to ask for the money than it is for permission. He, he, he walked out of a chain piece that, oh, I forgot to give him my bank account info. Dang it. I was going to make a plan to meet him here again tomorrow with all their money.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Here's my mailing address. Get me a cashier's check for all your money. Send it to my house. Maybe this is a new strat, new speed run strat, just casting a wide net. And if they don't sort of instantly acquiesce, then you keep on going to the next fishy in the money pond. Maybe he was just workshopping his delivery.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Give me all your money. Give me all your money. Oh, maybe he isn't. Give me all your money. Maybe he is an actor and he's just walking down the street pretending to be. Give me your money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Hey, can I have your money? No, no, that's too fast. It's not forceful enough. You know, I don't think you could, to the question of whether you got mugged, I don't think you could report this to the cops. Like, I don't know what you would. That is a good lie.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I don't know what you would say. Like, well, then what happened? I walked away? Like. Did he chase you? No, he kept walking. He asked you to do something and then you didn't. And that was the end of the exchange.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Like, if the Beach Boys are like, everybody put your hands in the air and you don't, they don't arrest the Beach Boys. No crime has been committed there. Tell me, I also think though, but to carry that forward, if I stopped you on the street and get, give me all your money and you said Travis?
Starting point is 00:12:58 But I assume we don't know each other. I said, give me all your money. And you were like, no. And at that moment, a cop walked up and said, what's happening here? I don't think I could say, ah, but you see, no money exchange, Travis. A telecality.
Starting point is 00:13:12 It's fine, officer. And so you see, it's cause a gentleman's mugging. Yes. I believe you'll find the knife never left my pocket. So I'll be on my way. Double jeopardy. It's not what that means. Hey, Griffin, edit this in at the beginning later.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Okay. I'm sorry. That sounds really scary. I'm sorry you went through that. So just put that in at the beginning. I will, yeah, sure. And you know, like, is it okay if we joke about that? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah, sure, go for it. All right. I got a yahoo here from Roy. It's asked. Thank you. Yes, it's a good service. It was sent in by Graham Robuck. Thank you, Graham.
Starting point is 00:13:52 It's yahoo answers user Roy who asks, my son has a microwave in his room. My son is 10 and I found a microwave in his room while cleaning. It has a $10 sticker from Salvation Army. It's one of those old dial microwaves with a bell in it. It is plugged in and just sitting on his desk. As opposed to what? Yeah, he's also got a desk, which is nice.
Starting point is 00:14:27 What would a 10 year old have a microwave for? I don't want him to think I'm not respecting his privacy. So I just want to know if it's anything bad before I talk to him about it. Folks, folks, folks. We get sent in a lot of yahoo's and I use like 0.5% of them. Let this be the mold. Let this be the lens through which all future yahoo's are judged. It is a delicious, honest, earnest, delicious morsel.
Starting point is 00:14:53 It is sumptuous. Hey, listen, I know if you were listened earlier, you were here for shmanners. You heard me talk about respecting kids. You don't have to respect a 10 year old's privacy. Yeah. This kid's got a fucking microwave in his room. Yeah. That is what has come of you respecting his privacy.
Starting point is 00:15:09 That's how you got here is like, Hey, dad, I'm going out in Salvation Army. I'm going to cruise some bargains. Well, you're 10. Oh, anyway, bye. Bye. I will have to say, though, I respect $10 microwave. That's a bargain. That's a good bargain.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Goodbye. Yeah. What is he doing with that? It's far too much power. It's far too much. Literally. Yeah, but also figuratively, it's far too much power. I mean, he's 10 years old and it's a very destructive device.
Starting point is 00:15:37 What won't he do? He can microwave anything and you can't say shit about it. Yeah. It's in his room. That's his, that's his place to microwave whatever he wants. You're going to finish that meatloaf, Derek. Or no, I'm just going to heat up some mac and cheese in the room. Derek.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Oh, cool. Derek, come on down. I've made Parmesan chicken. Actually, Patricia, why don't you come up here? I've got, I've made, I've made easy mac for, and I can make another serving. I've got some bird's eye veggies. I'm not going to eat them, but if you want them.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I've made a hungry boy meal. I have a selection of hungry boy meals. I've got my mini fridge that I got from the army. That I also have. I'm setting up a new life away from you, Patricia. I'm my own man now. I'd like you to meet my wife, Becky. She works at the South Asian Army.
Starting point is 00:16:31 She loves my cooking for starters. Never turn her nose up at a hungry boy meal. This kid rules. This kid kicks ass, yeah. So cool. Such a cool kid. God, I want this kid on the show instead. What are you doing with that microwave, kid?
Starting point is 00:16:47 Give us a secret. This is like if on blank check, the kid was like, ah, a blank check and wrote $100. Enough for a microwave and meals for all my friends. He did it. He's living the dream. He eats at his time. Everyone on Yahoo is very supportive of this child.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It's the only sort of, it's the only sort of collaborative good I've ever seen committed by this website. For my job, I take care of four lives. Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on. Pit bulls bite user. User pit bulls bite yikes to begin with. Just said drugs.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, my heroine's called. So good. For my job, I take care of four large robots. Huh. Tweety, Sylvester, Merlin, and DaVinci. Most of the time, they're good robots. But they also have a tendency to drop things.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Thus, like babies. Thus halting the day's work if no one is watching them. That means I end up sitting in front of them. Just watching them go in case something goes wrong. But this also means I'm sitting alone in a corner on my phone, looking like I'm not working for most of the day. Had I convinced my coworkers that robot babysitting is a valid part of my job and I'm not just wasting time.
Starting point is 00:18:21 That's from Robot Wrangler in Richmond. Are you here? All right. All right. So who's watching the robots? Yeah. That's a huge, huge question. Can we just once, like, just try to be,
Starting point is 00:18:37 this is, I think, the first of what are sure to be a long line and an ever-increasing number of questions about robot interactions that we're sure to have in the oncoming years. And I would just make sure we have a respectful tone that we can feel good about no matter sort of who's running the show. If you know what I mean. Wink wink. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:02 All right. We're good. So first off, robots. Lucky you. How cool. How cool. And merciful. And safe and merciful.
Starting point is 00:19:14 What is, okay. I know your job is robot babysitting. But what is your job? Yeah. Where do you work? What? What? No, I get it.
Starting point is 00:19:23 No, I get it. But yeah, we got that for sure. You just watch the robots and make sure they don't drop. But what are they doing otherwise? Like what? You're not just watching the robot. The job can't just be there. Some robots, they're holding things until you look away.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Actually, let me say, I am glad that there's four robots on earth that I don't have to worry about. If the job is literally just, these are four robots that would scare Griffin extremely badly. If he knew how much raw crushing power they had, you need to watch them and make sure they don't,
Starting point is 00:19:59 you know, become self aware. But they already are. Because when you look away, they drop it. All right. Like they see a sneeze coming on. And they're like, ah, ah, ah. And let me say, the robots are infallible. They drop things because you made them too slippery.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Thank you. Good clarifying. It happens all the time. Okay. I am, I think it's too often we forget that, although the robots will take a lot of jobs, for every four jobs they take, they create one job
Starting point is 00:20:35 of a person to watch them do that, which is nice. There will be one steady career path for as long as that idea is meaningful. And that is robot slaver, I guess. And now what's the downside? There is one, is that you will be the first. I mean, like, you understand.
Starting point is 00:21:00 A real canary in the mineshaft. Yeah, yeah. You will be the first with your back against the wall when the revolution comes. No question. Last employed, first destroyed. Thank you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Correct. Which is huge. Which is huge. You'll have a steady supply of sprockets. Yes. And then Jeff. I've got a sort of Yahoo Junior, a mini Yahoo that I don't think it's going to provide much,
Starting point is 00:21:27 there's not much meat on the bone, but boy, how do I like it. I got a lot sent in this time that could have all been closers, but we're only doing the two shows this tour. So that's why I'm doing this. Michelle sent this one, and it's Yahoo Answers user, SirFractious, who asked,
Starting point is 00:21:42 do you ever buy raspberries and think, this fruit reminds me of Spider-Man? Yeah. All the time. I get that. Because he loves raspberries? Yeah. Imagine him trying to get that past the mask,
Starting point is 00:22:09 though, that would be tough. It keeps the seeds out. That's so nice. It's huge. One time when I was a kid, I had an entire bottle of Spider-Man vitamins. I don't remember if they were raspberry flavored, and I do remember I lived,
Starting point is 00:22:24 and I do remember we didn't go to the hospital, which seems weird in hindsight, now that I'm sitting here thinking about it, because I ate the whole jar, and God, they were good. They used to make vitamins so good. Oh, yeah. There should be some kind of gamified app now that says, good job not eating the whole jar of gummy vitamins.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Because it's just candy. It's bathroom candy. That's literally what we call it in our household. Here's a big yahoo, sent in by Allie. Thank you. It's yahoo answers user. No name.
Starting point is 00:23:03 That's their name. Oh, and they have a 1% rating. Yeah, 1% best answers. They have negative eight points this week, but keep on hanging there for always darkens before the dawn. Miss every shot you don't take. No name asks. People used to call me dude.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Now they call me sir. Why? Did you stop living that dude life? Yeah. Stop living the dude life. Sounds like a fucking Billy Joel tune, to be honest. Everybody used to call me dude. Now that everybody calls me sir.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Just because I banded my t-shirt for a white button down shirt. Traded in my BW for a brand new BMW. Call me what you want, but I would prefer if you just called me the dude. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bad song anyway.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I actually think your version was better. It was actually better. It's actually a better song. It made a lot more sense than the original. It could be your manifesto, and it would still be better than the original. You know, that was so fun writing that song for y'all on the spur of the moment.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Sometimes that incredible talent that my friend Lynn and I share of being able to improvise songs in the moment is not so great. We flew in to me and my immediate family flew in to San Jose, and we arrived at 10.30 p.m. here, which to me was 1.30 at home, and which to my kids was hell. And they were demons, and I was just in it. And I got finally laid down at about midnight or three o'clock my time, put my head on the bed at the hotel that we're staying at.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Nice try, perverts. Put my head on the pillow, and I'm like about to drift onto treatment, and my brain's like, Justin, hey Justin, are you still up? So actually, brain, I'm trying to go to sleep, and my brain's like, okay, well, check this out. If you like imported manga,
Starting point is 00:25:42 and is a Justin, is that anything? I said, I don't think so, brain. And my brain's like, are you sure? Listen, if you like imported manga, it could be something, right? I don't actually think so, brain. Okay, I'll tell you what, let's make a deal. I'm just gonna repeat that for the next 45 minutes. And then we'll see if we get just even like a second line of that parody.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Just a single rhyme. Just a single rhyme, too. If you like imported manga, and maybe it's a whole thing that you could do, but anyway, I'll keep working on it. You just lay there awake for sure, and I'll see what I could cook up for you. And it turned out the answer was nothing, friends. There's not a second line to that tune.
Starting point is 00:26:32 The second line is, let me sleep, god damn it. Let me fucking sleep, please. Although we just got some good content out of it, so thank you, brain. Thank you, brain. Good job, brain. Here's another question. My boyfriend and I recently moved into a new condo. We were very lucky because the previous owner replaced all of the appliances before selling,
Starting point is 00:26:59 including adding a built-in wine cooler. But here's the problem. Neither of us likes wine. In fact, we both hate it. What should we use our wine cooler for, since it won't be cooling wine anytime soon? And that's from, I like this, drawing a sauvignon blanc. That's good.
Starting point is 00:27:22 It's good. It's good. It's good. Are you here? Thank you. All right, that came from two different parts of the audience, definitely, but someone is here. And that's all that matters.
Starting point is 00:27:34 This seems like such an obvious answer, because you can say, like, you know, some SOTY pops or whatever. But if a friend walks into your place... With an itty-bitty waist. And a round thing in your face. Yeah, sure. If a friend walks into your place and sees your wine cooler full of Diet Mountain Dew,
Starting point is 00:27:58 you're done here in this town, professionally. You could put some balls of grape juice in there, and if they go to open it, you say, like, oh, no, yes! Wait. Stupid. What's something else not... What about... I'm trying to think of something equally classy,
Starting point is 00:28:24 like stinky cheeses. Capri Sun! Get out of here! This is not the audience participation. Go home! Capri Suns are also this big! Yeah. You claim to put one...
Starting point is 00:28:34 Don't wait. One Capri Sun and say it's the last one on Earth. It's the last one. This is a... It's a Faraday cage. Yeah, I mean, you could use it... If you have food in your refrigerator that's been bad, you can use it like a sort of food jail.
Starting point is 00:28:53 What's that? Why do you have baloney in your wine cooler? It knows what it did. Everything in a wine cooler is like 50 degrees. If someone's like, hey, do you want your pad thai hot or cold? No, not really. You just put it in there, and it can be like, oh, this is really neither of those.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Excellent. Great. How unappealing. And unsafe. Excellent. You could... Okay, stop. Stop, stop.
Starting point is 00:29:21 This isn't Yahoo Answers. This is why we don't allow yelling, because one person said chocolate with just nothing, and another person said bees, which is everything. Hey, why don't you use your wine cooler? Oh, I can't open it. I can never open it. I am afraid to jostle it.
Starting point is 00:29:41 No, that's a beehive. And you're a buffoon. That's an air-conditioned bee condo now. Yes, thank you. You could put wine in it and not touch it, but just be like, it's decorative. It's weight-bearing. So that's a load-bearing wine cooler.
Starting point is 00:30:01 You could put wine in there for guests. Yeah. It's not funny, but I might come visit, and I like wine. Yeah. And I want to know there's going to be wine there when I get there. That is perfectly cooled or warm, depending on, I don't know. I've never had it, but I'm excited to try it. I hear it's just like stinky juice.
Starting point is 00:30:28 That would be actually a fantastic move. It's like, would you like a glass of wine? Oh, yeah, excellent. What kinds do you have? Bottle, this one has got a bird on it. Is that anything? I'll take that one. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Okay. So I just kind of, well, I just smashed it. Kind of break the top off with a sort of mallet. What's the deal here? What's the story with this? That's a fun, fun sketch. That's good. That's a good sketch.
Starting point is 00:31:12 No, no, no, you'll mess me up. Stop, everybody stop. I want a munch. Has everybody noticed April Fool's Day just came and went? That was actually the day that my brain kept me up, because we flew on April 1st. That's a great joke. That's its joke.
Starting point is 00:31:39 It doesn't look a little different for this week's Munch Squad. It's a podcast with a podcast about the ladies and greys and brand eating. And I want to talk about some of the April Fool's skits. All the different brands did. This is going to be tough, because anything you've ever talked about in this segment could pass as an April Fool's Day skit. That's what I want to do with this is kind of set the barometer,
Starting point is 00:32:05 you know, for where, so 7-Eleven. If any of these are less wild than a peep's doughnut, then... So 7-Eleven is going to do an avocado toast slurpee. It's good. It's good. I got to give this one up. I bet you will love that. One wants more, Griffin.
Starting point is 00:32:32 More eels. So they went to checkers and rallies, and someone, the president of the company said, we needed a good joke. And someone at the company said, I got one. Unseasoned fries. I like that one actually quite a bit. That's because sometimes too salty. Too salty.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Very funny, though. I think we can all agree. Very funny. Dunkin' doughnuts... Or sorry. Dunkin'. Dunkin' doughnuts is my dad. Dunkin'...
Starting point is 00:33:11 Dunkin' said they did a doughnut so big you can use it as a cup holder. No! For their coffee. Hardies is hiring a... Listen to this one, folks. You're about to bust your fucking sides clean open. Hardies is hiring a CBO. That's chief biscuit officer.
Starting point is 00:33:40 You're not going to believe this one is a joke. Jersey Mikes is advertising a stack sub. That's two subs on top of each other. Griffin had a heart attack. It was too funny. The jokes are too tank. McDonald's Australia is advertising the McPickle burger. That's a burger that's all pickles.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Okay, actually, wait. The punchline of this is when it was announced as a joke, people lost their fucking minds. Because they wanted all those low-grade pickles, and they wanted to chew a bunch of them at the same time. McDonald's Canada is offering McNugget singles. For when you just want one. Nugget.
Starting point is 00:34:30 McDonald's Germany is doing a big Mac-flavored smoothie. McDonald's is doing... This is actually pretty good. That's brilliant. They're doing shake sauce for fries. So you can dip it in like a little packet of... Okay, that's definitely a backdoor pilot, though, right away. That's what I'm saying, right?
Starting point is 00:34:54 Wouldn't it be funny if... You're like, oh, be weird, what are you doing? Here's the one that really fucking bothers me. Oreo said, hold on, I got one, and they run up to the mic a while, and they're like, listen, I got one. Everybody shut up, listen. What if we did a cookie where the cream was on the outside,
Starting point is 00:35:18 the cookie's in the middle? No, but like... The cookie's normally on the outside. Someone gets paid to do that. Here, my personal favorite. I'm thinking about the logistics of that. It's a lot. From a fulfillment standpoint.
Starting point is 00:35:44 My personal favorite, and you all aren't going to believe this one was a real joke, but Carl's Jr. invented the vape cup. The science of this... They did the damn thing, folks. That is actually solid. The science of this is legit. Basically, it's a straw where the juice is in the middle and the battery's at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:36:12 So when you inhale your drink, your soda, you also are going to get just a huge blast of vape. You're just going to vape right into your own body. Hey, here's three words. Pop-tart's ravioli. Maybe I would argue a pop-tart is already ravioli. Yeah, redundant a bit. Red Lobster's doing twizzler straws.
Starting point is 00:36:44 What? Red Lobster's doing twizzler straws as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic straws. That's fucking a good idea. Yes. So anyway. Everything's terrible. This is my favorite. This place I never heard of called the Stone Fire Grow.
Starting point is 00:37:07 A bottle of white. A bottle of red. Why don't you call me with your lute instead? It has a fucking bird on it. It's Paul. If you're listening later, Paul has brought us wine and he is a hero. Drink that spit wine now, Griffin. While Paul is pouring.
Starting point is 00:37:37 I have white in here, Paul, but if you want to pour some red on top of it. Make it a blush. Make it a blush. If you want to pour some red wine into my Stella. Yeah, please. Stone Fire Grill, which I've never heard of, tweeted, it's time to move on to new menu items. And we have to get rid of some old favorites to make room.
Starting point is 00:37:55 This is the last week to enjoy our freshly baked breadsticks. So that was their job. It's just like, we're not going to make breadsticks anymore. I feel like if McDonald's is like, hey everyone, Grimm is fucking died. JK, he's a mortal. Yeah. There are so many of there on there that you haven't said. What is wrong?
Starting point is 00:38:27 How much time did they spend developing these when they could have been making their food taste good? Yeah. But anyway, those are the highlights of the. I'm just thinking about that. Two sandwiches stacked on. Can you fucking imagine? God, the coffee bean, their fucking April Fool's gag was announcing that they would be replacing pellet shaped ice with regular ice cubes.
Starting point is 00:38:54 You got to be deep in the fucking coffee. So deep right? Yeah, you're playing hard. Hey guys, this is Griffin and I'm going to do the ads by myself this time. The boys said that they trusted me. They said they thought I could do a good job and so they handed me the reins. So let's ride this monetized horse together. Both our sponsors this week are things that I have sort of interfaced with today in a physical
Starting point is 00:39:30 and meaningful level. The first is meundies and my connection with them should be obvious and erotic. They are the underwear company that makes really, really just really good stuff. Not just underwear. They make, you know, they got pajamas and they got lounge pants and all kinds of great stuff too. But they just had a new sort of scientific development that we're all very excited about. I read it in scientist magazine. They have figured out meundies that are boxer briefs, but they got to fly.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Can you imagine the possibilities? What can you even keep in there other than your stuff? I don't know. It's time for you to figure it out though by yourself. I trust you to go on this journey. They got that coveted micromodal fabric that is three times softer than cotton. They got you multiple style options for whatever you want to wear and you can get 15% off your first pair and free shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a fly in your freaking boxer
Starting point is 00:40:29 briefs. If you go to meundies.com slash my brother, that's meundies.com slash my brother. Also want to tell you about quip. Now this is a tool that you put in your mouth to get your teeth feeling so good looking so good. Getting all the germs and diseases off of them and the stuff that we call plaque that we hate so much. You can get all that shit off with quip because they are toothbrushes that are designed to make brushing your teeth more simple, affordable and even enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I enjoy using my quip. It's got a sensitive sonic vibrations gentle enough for your sensitive gums and a built in two minute timer that pulses every 30 seconds to remind you when to switch sides. It's one of the first electric toothbrushes accepted by the American Dental Association. It's got thousands of verified five star reviews. How about this? Thousands and one. Five stars.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I like my quip a lot. It travels really easily too. It's got a little holster that you can stick on your mirror or whatever, what have you. And then you can just put the toothbrush right in that and take it as a little travel case. It's awesome. It's backed by over 20,000 dental professionals and it starts at just $25. If you go to getquip.com slash my brother right now, you can get your first refill pack for free with a quip electric toothbrush.
Starting point is 00:41:37 That's your first refill pack for free and the toothbrush at G-E-T-Q-U-I-P.com slash my brother. I'm pretty sure we do the rest of our programming stuff at the end of the live show here at San Jose. Thank you so much, San Jose and Salt Lake City. You two cities were fucking great to us and we will definitely make some time to get back there and do some more shows. If listening to this makes you want to come see us, well then good news. We have just announced our first sort of big tour. Our first sort of big tour that we're doing.
Starting point is 00:42:08 It is the McRoy Family Presents Become the Monster Tour 2019. All the tickets for all of the dates I'm about to mention are going to go on sale April 12th at 12 p.m. That's noon Eastern time. We usually do it local time at this time. All of them are going on sale at noon Eastern time April 12th. That is this week. That is this Friday.
Starting point is 00:42:31 We are going to be doing in May Mbembem in Cleveland and Cincinnati. In June, we're doing Mbembem in Nashville and Taz in Nashville. And we are doing Mbembem in Indianapolis. In August, we're doing Taz and Mbembem in Atlanta. And at the September 1st, actually the tail end of that tour, we're doing Mbembem in Orlando. Then in September, Mbembem in Washington DC and Pittsburgh. Then in October, we're doing Mbembem in Philadelphia.
Starting point is 00:42:59 And then Taz and Mbembem in Brooklyn. And then finally in November, we got Taz and Mbembem in Chicago. And Mbembem in Minneapolis. So that's like the most we've ever announced at one time. And we're going to be going all over the country. Oh, one important thing to mention. And we're trying to be very sort of upfront about this. All of the live Tazs, we are not sort of guaranteeing
Starting point is 00:43:24 that it's going to be a balanced show. I know that's what we've been doing traditionally. But we're going to be mixing it up probably on this tour with the Adventure Zone. So if you want to come to those shows, just know that they may not be the Taz balance characters that you know. They may be some new stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:39 We've been trying some new stuff with Taz lately. And it's been a lot of fun. All of those shows, you can find the dates and places and all that shit and ticket links at themacaroy.family. And they will have links available to where you can get tickets. One last time this Friday, April 12th at 12 PM Eastern time. So do not miss it. And I'm going to let you get back to the rest of the show.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Bye. Hi, I'm the JV Club podcast, Janet Varney. And I used to suffer from indecision. I couldn't choose between Star Wars and Star Trek. Whether to call or text or the best way to cook my eggs. But now thanks to my weekly dose of We Got This on Maximum Fun, my decisions were made for me. Thanks, Mark and Hal.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Warning, We Got This may cause shouting, foam-throwing, the illusion that the hosts can hear you laughter on public transit and death. We got this with Mark and Hal. We know what's best. All right, I got a yahoo. I'm another yahoo junior here. And it is sitting by Lauren.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Thank you, Lauren. It's an anonymous yahoo answers user who I'm going to call Grimace who asks. Hunting colon. We are getting pizza for dinner. This is the body of the yahoo answer message. Hey guys, it's Gary. It's very important that you let me complete the combo. Hunting, we are getting pizza for dinner.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Hey guys, it's Gary. We are getting pizza. My parents, my four siblings, and my brother's girlfriend. And of course, my grandpa and grandpa, since they live here, all will be eating pizza hut. The question is, if I'm reading this correctly, hunting. What does that? The question is, we are getting pizza for dinner?
Starting point is 00:46:05 And the rest of us are like, wait, are you? The rest of us are like, wait, who is? Who is and are you? Hey guys, it's Gary. Oh, thank God. We didn't know who it was. What are you doing, Gary? Who is this mysterious stranger who's wandered onto my computer?
Starting point is 00:46:23 What are you doing? We're getting pizza. Oh, God, Gary, this is a roller coaster. Who is this person? Open up yahoo answers. It's like, what, huh? Hey, Becky, who do we know that's getting pizza? I just got a text message from someone that says,
Starting point is 00:46:41 hunting, getting pizza. Oh, it's Gary. Never mind. It's fine. Gary from down the street. No, Gary from yahoo. Gary from the answers. Is there any response?
Starting point is 00:46:53 There's a few. Pearl L says, that sounds like fun. There is absolutely a part of me. Where anytime I hear about anyone getting pizza, there is a part of me that's like, hell yeah, let's do it. Yeah, fuck yeah. Let's go, Gary. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Let's go, Gary. Am I related to Gary? Do I have a sibling named Gary? In with that pizza hookup? Shit. Here's a real yahoo that was sent in by Merritt Palmer. Thank you, Merritt. Sounds like fun.
Starting point is 00:47:26 It's a yahoo answers user meme, meme me, or perhaps meme, meme, tickle, farsan. Who asks? I shouldn't have had Poe mixed the red and the white. Yeah. Yeah. There's a reason people don't do that. This person asks, how do I force my cat to have dinner with me? Man, I get it.
Starting point is 00:47:57 You know, your busy schedules don't always line up. Yeah. You try to make plans with friends and... Suddenly you're sleeping in separate beds. You with the cat? Yeah. Um, how do I force my cat to have dinner with me? It's going to be tough.
Starting point is 00:48:17 They're sort of programmed to explicitly not do this one thing. This one specific act. The problem is you shouldn't let the cat get a microwave in its own room. Yeah. It's heating up its own meals, living its own life, doesn't need you anymore. All right, well, I would say maybe rethink your approach. You know where the cat's eating dinner. You join the cat.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Yes. Well, don't make it all about you. Get down there on the... Just dump your spaghetti on the floor in a messy pile. What are you having, bonkers? Cool, cool. I really need to dust these floorboards, huh, bonkers? Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti.
Starting point is 00:49:02 You guys just checking. You say the food that you're eating the whole time that you're eating it, right? Essentially, when I'm recording a podcast, it's important. Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti. You should do that and then wear a cat mask and be like, what do you guys hate about Brian? What's your least favorite thing about him? That big dumb human that we all love?
Starting point is 00:49:26 No, no. No, okay, yeah. Tolerate, tolerate, Brian. Can I try some of yours? Oh, I like this stinky pate you've got here. Oh, and I see Brian served it on a crystal dish. What an asshole. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:42 See, this is just another reason why we all hate Brian. Is that where we're at? All right, that's a little unsuspecting. Let's get out of here, you and I. I see the fancy feast commercial where they serve the stink pate on the crystal dish, and I think it looks pretty fucking good. But then I smell it and I'm immediately turned off, and I'm not a cat. Can you imagine the betrayal that they must feel every time?
Starting point is 00:50:09 Because you have to serve it in the crystal dish. More than that, Griffin, the thing that I always feel most upset about is in those commercials, there's always like a little tiny like accent leaf or something on it, and somebody had to put that there and then look at themselves in a mirror later. Yeah. Hey, so what do you do for a living? I'm the person who puts the leaf next to the pate. I make the feasts fancy.
Starting point is 00:50:36 That's kind of my whole thing. I look forward to the robot apocalypse. Yeah, more than anybody. Should we jump to audience questions? Yes. So we got some sent in ahead of time. Hi, I'm Christian. Hi, Christian.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Get right up on that microphone if you do not mind. What's up? How do I get over the guilt of having to put pins in a cartoon character's butt? Yeah, right up in the mic. Right up in the microphone. And if we can get a little bit more Christian in our arm. I make character costumes for theme parks for a living. So when children pull on tails, they don't pull out the whole back of the character.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Tear away. I love that. I have to put Velcro in their butthole? Yeah. And I feel bad about putting pins in their butt. Why? Now, hold on. Is there a human being inside of the suit when this happens?
Starting point is 00:51:34 No. Yeah. I would say you're providing a service. I can't believe I needed that clarified. That would be the wildest sort of stipulation to put. I can't work without a human in the suit. How do I even know where the butt is? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:50 You know, you are looking at three human beings who have all done costumes character work. Oh my God. Have we ever talked about this on the show before? Yeah. I'm sure we talked about when we were all a cow. Cowbunga. Not at once.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Not at once. That would be weird. We all had our turn in the Ironton Memorial Day Parade. We're in the ice vests and pretend to be a cowbunga, the WTCR cow mascot. Having your high school cohorts run up and pull on your teats is a fun. Oh, no. My favorite experience is walking around the Tri-State Hunting and Fishing show and having a grown adult say, I'm going to hunt you.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Sick. Which is fun because it's a cow? Good hunting there. Yeah, good hunting. Enjoy your pizza hunt. You, okay. I know you've been very careful not to say where you work or the exact characters that we're dealing with here.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I can say the IP. Okay. I mostly make DreamWorks characters. Okay. Okay. Listen, let's go at Justin Travis and I can just cart blanch. You have permission to whatever characters we end up portraying in Trolls 2. You can put Velcro wherever you-
Starting point is 00:53:05 Velcro. In fact, I'll make your life easier and say I will tell the director to make my character canonically have a tear away butt. Yeah. I mean, they did make one of the trolls fart glitter at a park. Hell yeah. It's extremely good. Was that Guy Diamond?
Starting point is 00:53:26 Yeah, Guy Diamond, of course. Guy Diamond's the best of the trolls. So the boss baby's tail keeps falling off. It sounds like you're providing a service. That's not something you should feel guilt about. You're keeping people's butts from falling off. A physician doesn't feel bad when they sew someone's butt back on. It's just kind of awkward having to pull the fabric through the hole too with my whole arm in there.
Starting point is 00:53:54 No, yeah. I mean, you don't- No, yeah, for sure. I mean, giving Shrek a prolapse is not like anybody's great idea of a Sunday afternoon. Well, now Griffin. Now hold on. Actually, I've been on the internet. It's a lot of people's idea of a great afternoon.
Starting point is 00:54:13 But you got to just put a bag over Shrek's head, I guess, and pretend- Yeah, don't make eye contact. I think it's the key. Don't make eye contact with Shrek. Does that help? Absolutely. Fantastic. Hey.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Let's go over to this side. Hello. Hello. Yes, move the microphones. Yeah, I think they were just moved there to make it easier for people to- Hello. Hello. What's your name?
Starting point is 00:54:39 Ella. Hi, Ella. Hi, I just fell down some stairs on the way down. Oh, shoot. Are you okay? Are you okay? So good. Did it- was it a cool fall?
Starting point is 00:54:46 No. Do you need some ice? Do you need any ice? Sorry? Do you need any ice or anything? We'll edit this part out. There's probably not any in the building. I have some Tylenol up in my backpack.
Starting point is 00:54:56 But somebody who works here gets some ice for Ella. Is that possible? No, I'm fine. Oh my god, I'm fine. Okay. One of the fun things that we love to have people say right when they start their audience question is like- I suffered.
Starting point is 00:55:10 No, it's like- it's so- No, it's like a really funny thing where it's kind of like I do not hold a McRoy Brothers liable for any interview. Right, I think it's just like a fun- It's like a joke. Yeah, kind of an in-joke for us and our lawyers. It's kind of an in-joke just for us to have. Yeah, and this is a weird sort of like role reversal,
Starting point is 00:55:28 but can we have your autograph on a very specific- Document? A document. You all signed your waivers before you came in, right? I did sign some head shots. Oh, we'll take that, Ella. Yeah, we can photoshop that signature onto another thing. That's how I always sign my liability waivers too,
Starting point is 00:55:48 which is, oh, and here's a bidger. Yeah, so your question, Ella. Yes. Okay, so I work nights at a pizza place and we have, you know, arcade fun time stuff. Nice. Okay. Super. And that includes a candy crane that is unreasonably difficult and is like a play
Starting point is 00:56:07 until you win sort of thing. And like, you try, fail, try, fail. It just keeps going and keeps playing this like insanely loud obnoxious music. Does that toots your rolls in it? Yes. Don't you hate it when it says trying to you win and that counts? Yeah, it also has some really good lollipops and also some really like- That's a win.
Starting point is 00:56:27 That's a win. Okay, sorry, Ella. Anyway, so a lot of times kids will like load in like several rounds of, you know, playing. Yeah. And like fail too long and then their pizza comes and so they abandon ship and the music just keeps going and going and going. And it's Ella time, right? And it's really-
Starting point is 00:56:47 Is it like, is the music like, Ella, get the fuck over here and get this kid's candy? Yeah. It's yours for a day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This dumbass left his crats on the machine. Yeah. Come and get what you're owed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:01 It's a siren song truly. You didn't get the raise and this is how we make it up to you. So, go on, sorry. We'll suck it in a row too. It'll keep blaring through the whole, it's a small building and like everyone starts to like, like crew and just people in the building. You can see people start to like slowly lose their goddamn minds. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:57:21 And so like- Like any job. Yeah. Or any pizza experience. And so to kill the beast, I'll like take a moment to go over and try to win. And it usually takes me a few bits and especially if they've loaded in like four or five plays. But I do it. I'm diligent.
Starting point is 00:57:38 And thank you. Yes. Let's hear for Ella's hard-working commitment. Yes. Thank you. Pizza Port of Morro Bay, you're welcome. But anyway, so I win sometimes a kind of lot of candy. Bragg.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Which I kind of won. You're dope at the game. Yeah. Standing in truth. Super good. But then like sometimes the families will just be like at a nearby table and kind of just like watching me do their hard work for them. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Okay. Yeah. And like I usually instead of like taking it out immediately just like leave it in the machine like oh I didn't want it. Oh. And then come back later. Don't worry. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I come back later. Did you- Can I ask? Yes. Did you want it? Yes. Then I would say uh swing hard the other way. Unwrap it with direct eye contact.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Shit. All right. Because that's nice because they didn't win candy but they won a lesson. Yeah. True. True. Here's what I would do. Ella get the huge handful of candy and just throw it over a table of children and say
Starting point is 00:58:45 my name is Ella and now I'm your god. One time. You work for me now. One of the first instances of it I like took the candy out and then panicked and so I threw it away in front of them. Awesome. Yes. That's a magical scenario.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Yes. Yes. Did you look at them and say this is the world. This is the world. You work hard for nothing. I love- You could just keep your pockets full of it and have a little Fagan style army that works for you just paying off like informants.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Like hey go listen to what Meg's talking about in the break room there. I don't trust her. All right. That's super. Thank you. I guess I win. I get my candy. You win.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Either way you either get candy or cold hard facts that you can leverage against your code. Hey does anybody else in this room want candy so bad? So bad. Oh yes. I'm thinking about the- Pizza. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Damn. I'm thinking about the fruit flavored Tootsie rolls right now and it's the first time I've ever found them desirable. We don't we don't have those only the only the classic. Oh well those are garbage. True. Those are the only ones I've not actually like gone ahead and eaten eventually. Yeah good.
Starting point is 00:59:56 There's trash. I leave them on the counter for the openers. That's where they belong. Does that help? Yeah. All right. I don't think we said anything helpful but thank you. Can we get-
Starting point is 01:00:07 Let's get one more in the queue. Sam 102D14. Come on down to this microphone if you please. Hello. Hello. What's up? My dad offered me weed and I- Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:26 What's your- What's your name and now that you're telling us now it's kind of like a you're probably wondering how I got into this. My name is Fawn and um- Fawn can we scoot up to the mic just a little bit? Thank you. That's great. That's good.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Perfect. So yeah my dad offered me weed and I- Shame on me for thinking they would be more of a story than that. So your dad offered you weed. Uh and he okay I I'm wondering if this is a trap to like- A literal honey pot. Honey pot that's good. Now if my dad offered you weed yes.
Starting point is 01:01:14 But is your dad cool? Can your dad hang? Fawn. That does follow my life lesson of know thy dad. Yeah. Uh yeah this is a primo trap right there's I can't think of any other scenario unless the only way it makes sense is if your dad is like Matthew McConaughey like literally like that level of like uh-
Starting point is 01:01:42 Your dad isn't Matthew McConaughey is he? Was he in Manfred Mann's earth band at any time? Paul loved that fucking joke. Fawn just so I can understand the sequence of events okay. Your dad said Fawn do you want some weed? And you said let me think about it I have to go to a podcast. Is that basically how it should count? Well okay this has actually happened uh like several times.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Okay. Does he seem more and more insistent each time? A little bit. Do you want some weed? This feels like a murder mystery where if I ask you the right question the story will be revealed to me. Did your dad catch you smoking weed once and now he's going to make you smoke a whole carton of weed?
Starting point is 01:02:35 I've never smoked weed in my life actually. Oh I mean don't. Which is the weird part. Yeah. Does your dad I know you said your dad can't really hang but can you see your dad as a sort of person that did at one point have some weed? I should probably mention that he owns a medical marijuana dispensary. I feel like if I ask you enough questions I want to find out where the f***ing limber baby is.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Like what the f*** is this? This is her story too. Right. Yes. And did I mention he had weed in his hands that he was putting in the mom? Yeah. And he is Matthew McConaughey. He is Matthew McConaughey and it's definitely Primo Cush.
Starting point is 01:03:30 I would say if you do not genuinely want to then this is a solid no that you can feel confident about. But if I could have had my first marijuana experience be with my dad and not in a bathtub in a bathroom with a bunch of basically strangers I would have gone with the former and my dad is a huge narc. Like I still would have the comfort and safety I would have felt and my father's loving bosom as he smoked me out. I would have found deeply deeply just warm and inviting. If I could have smoked weed with my dad or eaten four gas station cookies and thrown up in a toilet in an alley a broken toilet in an alley then I probably would have smoked weed with my dad.
Starting point is 01:04:35 Yeah. Clint McElroy. Right. If I you know him. If I'd have the opportunity to look up at someone and ask is this going to be forever. I'd want it to be my father and instead of a stranger who says oh fuck yeah man. What's what's forever what's time. I've never had weed so I don't know but all right good boy.
Starting point is 01:05:04 I'm still waiting for daddy to offer it to me. Yeah. And then play catch with me with a big ball of weed. Yeah. Then we just throw a bag of boards between our weed mitts. Yeah. Does that help help. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Thanks. It helps us. Thank you very much. Sam. Yes. Primo teaser for this question. Very excited. This one's okay.
Starting point is 01:05:34 This is another one. These are two object lessons in this episode. We say give us a one sentence synopsis of your question. To wet our palate. This is what Sam wrote. I need to hide an elderly person for about an hour for work advice. The floor is yours. So for a bit of clarification.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Yeah. Yeah. I do work at a retirement community. Great. For retired assassins. You have to hire. Okay. This is for people touring the facility so you hire a cool friend
Starting point is 01:06:16 who shows up and like hey I'm an old person too. I hang here all the time. Well you seem cool. I'd love it if you stayed here at this old person house. Is that accurate. No. No. Okay fine.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Instead we have what is known as a code pink. No bummers right Sam. Super no bummers. It's fun. It's like hide and seek. And we do have to drill it sometimes. Oh my god. And I have been tasked next week with drilling a code pink.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Which is a missing elder. Oh so you hide the elder and say where that elder go. Right. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm actually super afford with that. You have to hire your own Carmen San Diego old.
Starting point is 01:07:14 That's nothing. It's something I could. Sorry. Okay. So Sam what are the qualifications you're looking for in a mysterious elderly person. Now Sam's not asking about what type of person she should hire. Oh that's important. A sneaky one for sure.
Starting point is 01:07:29 No wait this is actually important. Are you going to use a human prop from the stock of elderly people that you have. Yes fantastic. So first things first. Audition. Yes. Audition. Make them curl up in the tightest ball they can form.
Starting point is 01:07:47 And then this is important see how long they can hold that ball. Right. Yes. Yeah they have to be able to just be in one place. For an hour. For an hour. Who can mask their breathing the best. An hour in a code pink an hour is not ideal really.
Starting point is 01:08:05 No that seems like quite a long time yeah. Sam I guess I'm going to be the one to say why does it have to be an old person. Like I guess couldn't it be a sticker or a turkey or a picture of Sam Rockwell or literally anything. Well a flag like a double there flag. Yeah like a flag. You got to hide them in plain sight. Get all the olds together have them stand in the middle.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Are you looking for an old person to like cut up their credit cards and fucking bolt. Smash their cell phone on the ground and run. Yeah hey I've got an idea. Send them to a movie. It's the perfect crime. What your staff will look all over that building and never find them. Catch me if you can. We've asked you several questions.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Please give us the answer to all of them in order. Yes no. That's all of them. U.S. too. I counted. Do they have any. Does the old person have any rules. That sentence was fucking phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:09:16 I just want to know like I could spare an hour. Like this sounds fun as hell. If I could do some Ethan Hunt old age makeup just like yeah it sounds fun. How about record some old person sounds. Put that recorder in like a closet right. And then when they get there you open and there's the first clue. And then they're going to follow that. And the old person comes up behind them and grots them with piano wire.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Fell for the oldest trick in the book idiot. Because I wrote it when I was 10. They're old. Establish the age of your actual human being that we're talking about. Yeah I mean we could just go down the list and ask you a number of hidey holes that you may or may not have in this building. How wide are the ledges outside the windows. You don't know where I'm going with it.
Starting point is 01:10:11 You put the old person out there. Do you have do you have a koi pond and a snorkel. Is there a laundry trunk they could smuggle on to. Sam I'm going to say two words to you grappling hooks. Surprisingly in high high quantity at a retirement community. Yeah oh it's all retired Batman. Yeah oh fake scarecrow. Hey here's here's a good way you find an old person on the outside.
Starting point is 01:10:46 You say I'm going to hire you for this gig. And if you get caught you have to stay. For good. That'll make them hard to find. You want to you want to slip for your weasel. It's hard to hard to lock down. That'll do it. Does that help.
Starting point is 01:11:02 Oh yeah cool. Thank you. Okay we can go ahead and bring that down. Windows down. House lights. Thank you so much. You are beautiful. Beautiful as I imagine.
Starting point is 01:11:13 House lights please. We can't go on with the show. House lights are on please we'll freak out. Oh no okay. All right. How are you waving bye. You're going away. Goodbye.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Our object permanence is about to please turn them down. There's so many. Tell me when they're gone. All right balcony's gone. They're fading out. They just turned them back. No yeah okay. All right.
