Can we get can we compete? Will we be able to leave our nation is that is a huge question in America? We join Europe. Can we read? We'll bring us back sub in sub in the UK's out. That's fine sub us in baby. I mean if they're including Australia I'm just saying we're ready. Why not America? Let me we'll start out by doing we'll infiltrate some back-up dancers for some of the other for some of the smaller countries

That don't really have a shot. I feel like we'd really blend in with like say, uh-huh. Let me think maybe like France France. Yeah, I think we could get it in there and get like experimental with it And then we'll take off our masks at the end and be like it's us America and We can do it and we can hang out too. Yeah, and oh what's that? We're building bridges both Figuratively and literally across the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, man. We're so cool. Where's that bridge? Oh, yeah, thank you. Come on. Thank you. It's 2021. Let's build a bridge across the ocean or under the ocean This is what I'm saying bridge to Europe Back to you west

Drive in your car. You'll go very far. Hope it don't collapse. Actually, it's a walking It's a it's a walking It's like one of those Escalator ground escalator things you just kind of stand on it and you start a little life down there And then like a month and a half later Good evening governor Oh, you're on the other side. Yeah, that means you're on the other side and then we can change it to like Oh, yeah under the pond and that's what we'll say across the pond

I came under the pond in the tube And they're like on the subway like no in the tube. There's a tube It's about like three feet wide and like six and a half feet tall. It's very tight. Very dark Do you know there's a special British RSS feed of this show that just has content warnings but in front of every episode everyone The people in Eurovision who are responsible for Eurovision are gonna listen to the last two and a half minutes of this show and say Damn not yet. They ain't ready yet to be called. I feel like in three minutes We started to establish new bonds and yeah severed them violently. Oh boy. Oh boy

We should build the bridge over the Atlantic Ocean and then set fire to it as we're driving in the last Golden Spike I love it. Hey, can we do our show? I would love that actually that would be fantastic. That would be cool Yeah, I feel like we haven't done it in a while. You know what I mean like I don't think we answered any questions last week Yeah, did we not? I don't know. It got it got rowdy. We talked about here talk about this is gonna be a regular one. Okay. Oh My wife and I had our first baby last year a girl. She's now 10 months old My father-in-law bought her a gift and he's very excited to see her playing with the prom is It's clearly labeled a dog toy. Oh, yeah The tags say to keep it away from babies. He ordered it online. So he may not have noticed this

How do I navigate this without hurting his feelings? I can't tell him that he actually bought her daughter a dog toy But I also don't want her to play with a dog toy Helicopter parent, am I right? Yeah, really? I'm free in California I like the ones where they set it up so that there is no writing here. There's two things that can happen. Both are bad Yeah, so I've lived this we We were killing time at some strip mall somewhere with Henry and he picked up a dog toy at a pet land We were just kind of walking around because we thought hey Maybe he'll look at fish and be distracted for a little bit

And he picked up a little little squishy dog toy and enjoyed it and we took a picture and must post it online and then my my my mother and father-in-law Sent that toy for Henry and he was like fuck Yeah, and started to play with it and then we looked at the tag later like this is kid boys And this is this dogs love it kids hate it Kids bodies hate it dogs bodies can withstand it But don't let a child to put this in his mouth. Whatever you do. Whatever you do. Don't do that

So what we did is we immediately took the toy away And we told the parents and we said hey, this is funny You got our human child a dog toy and then we all had a good laugh about it And it was a mistake that was never made again. So really you got to say something but make it fun be like You poison my child that can be fun and then it's like they're not gonna feel bad cuz it's like a funny joke What kind of toy is it cuz if he got her a nylabone it might be on purpose Maybe he's just being really mean God I hate brushing my son's teeth if I could just toss a nylabone in there and

That would be cool The kids don't appreciate If you've never tried to brush the teeth of a human that does not want their teeth brush Yeah, that is the one any place where kids can flex nuts They absolutely will right and this is the one place where kids will can absolutely flex nuts on you and they do every single Fucking time. Yeah, if you ever want to feel powerless be brushing it cuz teeth and have them bite down You're done. I know I can't pull on it with some like marathon man Bullshit that's gonna have you staring into the mirror for the next two hours like questioning who you you're very soul

Yeah, like there's no play. You just let go of it at that point. Yeah, all right. You don't let your teeth fall out They don't need those teeth anyway. That's what I'm saying. That's why it's kind of our teeth We took baby to the dentist, you know when it was time because we're good parents or whatever and they're like Yeah, you gotta start flossing and not good thing. It's like ooh, I don't know I'll bring her back. You can handle that keep my friend. How often can I bring her in? Yeah, if we could just chuck a bone in there and let the bone do the brushing It's weird that there's not a child. We got that we got that we got that tech for dogs But we don't have that tech for toddlers. That's hey science

How's your priorities pretty fucking bad? I think yeah, actually. Thank you Also a squeaker inside those things. They'd love that. I would love that I'm just saying that I bought BB a lot of stuffed animals and not a lot of stuffed animals and very few of them have like tough tech Technology that let them really rag doll them around to get that squeaker out I'm just saying let's keep our kids a little busier and maybe make those two toys last a little bit longer for the kids Okay, yeah Hey, you wanna yahoo? Yes, this one was sent in by several people. Thank you everybody. It's that's extremely unhelpful answer by the way I just want to yeah, yeah, yeah, no do tell them. I'm telling you I've lived this and

I got through okay, and it's fun. So thank you everybody who sent this in and see how who answers user Natalie who asks Shipping a horse from Canada to Australia. I want to transport my horse from Canada to Australia in a few years He is a gilding and at that time will be for is this dangerous to do can he get sick for it? How much will it cost about has anyone else done this that can give please give me some information on this? What are some good company that can do this via ship or by air that can give me a quote? Gotta get is it and let's go ahead and just say operation Dumbo drop out loud. Yeah, and then we can move on to like more creative waters Okay, you should do I'm on a plane. Yeah

Now that that's out of the way Here's the problem. I can think of so many ways to get a horse from Canada to Australia Yeah, if they can be dead at the oh at the end of it. Oh at the end of it, right? Well, I guess the other way around wouldn't work would the other way around you know some like powerful magic unless you kill the horse ship it Let left ways over the international day line It shows up in Australia feeling Hale and Hardy. No, that would be tomorrow buck No, still dead dead for a day It might actually be easier to shoot the horse up into the sky in a rocket

Let the earth rotate underneath it. Oh when the rocket come back down. Oh cool and land in Australia If it might be easier and we could really interstellar it and launch around Old Jupiter up in the sky and have a cut slingshot all the way back when it comes back We have it's been 10 years on earth, but for the horse. It's been like nine years and like 11 months and they get still a lot of time. It's pretty it's pretty you would need to go How many seats would you have to buy on a plane? Oh to go before they let you take the horse on yeah carry on horse Yeah, I've seen okay for reference. Yeah, I once saw a large pit bull Yeah, that was like a rescue animal that had been trained to be like an assistive animal

right and I would put him at probably 80 pounds that's a little horse that's this is what I'm saying So if we scale that up that was like one seat right right so horses what like 800 pounds. That's 10 seats There's gonna be a four-year-old horse though We're not talking about a little full straight out the out the gate I'm checking the pet travel page on Delta. Okay, and just control F horse some pets can travel with Delta as a carry-on shipped as Very special cargo depending on their size. Okay review the requirements. Okay. I'm checking the guidelines and requirements. Okay. Yeah

Um There's a section here on inappropriate animal behavior, so all rude dogs need not apply. Oh, no not this this pony's a real saint This is this pony's a fucking gentleman One of the inappropriate animal behaviors is barking excessively not in response to a handler's needs or distress Yeah, I want to I did listen it does that dog sense distress because if so I need him to let me in on what the problem is because we aren't an airplane This dog's having a chill time and he's got his favorite tunes playing and it's nice and cool in here But he's being extremely loud art now

Are we 25,000 feet up in the air and is that uncomfortable for a dog? Yeah, probably one of the things one of the things that'll get your your pet kicked off the plane is Relieving themselves in the gate area or cabin if my dog relieves themselves in the cabin. Obviously, that's clear I actually that's absolutely a hundred percent. I'm with you I agree. I would love to have this dog off the plane too because it's obviously not working out What is your plan? Right? What's your ex Phil? That's my dog threat. Hey, yeah We're we're in the middle of the ocean you gotta pop that door open even if you're that serious about it That's putting on there's a danger. I'm gonna steal you directly in the eye by while Rex pisses and

There they no longer allow as of January 11th, 2021 They no longer allow what are listed here as non dog service animals? I love I think all animals love to think of themselves as non dogs. Yeah, so here's what they don't permit Small mammals or pocket pets like hedgehogs or sugarcliars. Okay, that's not a problem. This is a huge mammal So we're fine so far. You would no insects or spiders and to be fair I believe I will be the judge of that because you will never know. Yeah, that is up to me There's no rodents mice rats hamsters. They list they list out rodents mice rats hamsters gerbil skinny pigs I feel like if I'm planning to bring an animal like that on the plane

I should at least know if it's a rodent or not, right? Yeah, you shouldn't have to specify. You don't mention chinchillas Now they do have they list here Amphibians uh-huh birds obviously they just get competitive right that with the plane Animals improperly cleaned or with a foul odor. That's fine. This this again This pony's a gentleman. It's gonna smell fucking so far. We're in the clear. Yeah, this is looking good so far last one animals with tusks horns or hooves G goats and pigs but does not specifically list horses, but they do have hooves. Okay, okay

I'm just saying some large sneakers. Yeah, they'll never know Well, but they x-rays so the hooves can the hooves come off for like a minute Do they regrow like tonics? Do they come back and I'm sure this is a horrible thing to say I'm sure it hurts and there's probably some monstrous Sort of practice that is being done to horses. That is not funny in the least But this isn't funny. This is serious. We're trying to solve a really serious issue or else this horse is gonna get left behind Could the horse hang their hooves out the windows? Hey, and they're not on the plane. That's good That's good. You could also just bring them to the to the gate and just be like

Please Look at his big wet eyes That animal's got hooves. Ah, fuck. You're right. He does. Oh, well, we can still get on, right? We're still cool, right? We're still okay, right? I can tell you're a pretty cool person who probably likes a hundred dollars Am I right? Can you imagine getting to the gate with your your hoofless sneaker wearing horse? That has been through hell and you are walking up the tarmac and then the horse lets out a dookie and you're like We were so close mr. Chamberlain. Fuck I uh, I just want to say uh for the record

I think that lost would have been 25 percent better if there had been a horse survivor on the island That had been on the plane the horse lands and then they just treated it like another it was like there's yeah, there's jack There's soy or there's horse chamberlain. There's her and every time they're like, horse. We gotta get off this island I would love that man. I'd be so into that. Yeah It's made me happy thinking about it. One of the things that they do list I don't want to From the faq page and this doesn't help us necessarily But I did want to mention that they're one of the faqs is what if I have a service or support animal in training?

Oh, and they say that service animal in training does not meet qualifications for a trained animal But I do love the idea of pull it up to the game be like Listen, I'm gonna warn you right up front. This guy's a fucking loose cannon. Yeah I cannot He will serve he services me for sure, but sometimes he goes too far I've asked for his badge and gun repeatedly, but he won't step down. I actually have two I had two support animals one of them vary by the book Yeah, he's he's about six months from retirement. He's training this new rookie

But that rookie cannot be controlled and they buy heads But you know what they get the job done and you're gonna be glad they're on this plane You're gonna be glad they're on this plane. Yeah, you may need some real service done But not maybe off book service right service. They don't teach it Service dog school Recently my girlfriend and I moved into a new house where the landlord conveniently already provides the internet We're both biologists in our late 20s And today discovered that safe search is on through some entirely innocent and work related web searches

How do we ask our landlord to remove safe search without him immediately jumping to the conclusion That we want to desecrate his house with filthy unspeakable pornography That's from not so lewd lodgers in leads uk Well, my theory my supposition would be that if you have some sort of safe search Software enabled some sort of sort of net nanny that there's some sort of whitelisting that you could do right which makes me Know I feel like all you have to do is go to your landlord until I'm

Exactly the nasty URLs that you are going to be exploring. Yeah Um This is tough Why do you because yeah, I I understand That it's probably 99.9 of the time not for unspeakable things. Yeah But what about that 0.1% you don't want to go to him about k. Thanks for letting us look at like I don't know bird genitals or whatever because we're biologists, but also But we actually I gotta tell you mark. We accidentally did look at a dick today

And we need you to tighten up the algorithms mark because this is a cool. This is a christian household That's his deal. His deal is internal safe search. But if you it's an otter system Yeah, you see anything that you're not supposed to you have to go Don't let me know and I'll explain it to you. Yeah I'll make what you saw make sense. I promise. I won't leave you alone in this This is hey mark I saw some and they look like adults doing some stuff to each other like oh, okay, sit down I've watched so many tenets through this. Okay, listen here's other sides. It was the mommy daddy hug

Do you know what i'm talking about? You know mark Also our disposal's broken the disposal's broken and I can't get my sites to load where they do the special mommy daddy hug Can you come tweak both? Why are they dancing so hard mark? They seem so angry at each other They're so music if you're at like there We're fairly positive that your landlord is able to see your entire internet history, right? If this is the setup like 100 right, yeah Yeah, I guess I don't literally like this sounds like you're connected straight to his gmail account

So yeah You're using all his logins. Yeah, you have to go borrow his his uh his lappy his laptop every time you The computer is in the dining room that you all share and your landlord is also your dad Yeah, you just admit it your dad lord for complimentary internet access You just have to come to my place and ask to use my web book Yeah while cracking open for you my web book and it's just a sticker on it. It just says the internet on it When the dad lord lets us use the internet sometimes we see some sites I think you should have a conversation with mark about whether he keeps the net nanny on on his computer

Yeah, because if he's doing that the fair, you know fair play fair play Ask god he needs to let you To get to all the nasty corners you need Ask him if you can pay extra for the dirty sites in your in your rental agreement We'll increase just like how you have a pet addendum. This is just like yeah You can look at whatever you want for an extra $50 a month. Let me choose that net in an hour three dirty sites On your premium package That sucks and it I don't think it's legal. I think you should be able to do something about I don't know who you complain to

The better the better business bureau Um, somebody somebody. I don't know if they do that in the uk But um, this there's gotta be there has to be an answer to this that we don't know because it's such a preposterous situation It shouldn't be happening. Do you have a 14 year old nephew? Or you could ask for like the creative spellings of words that he uses. Oh, yeah to like search Yeah, you can probably hook you up. He's probably got some weird ones. He's like, have you tried typing in stiffy? stiffy sometimes gets through stiffies and uh

Surprisingly teats works quite often if you type in teats, but not cow sometimes you can get through Teats minus cow it leaves. There's a fin. There's a fin crack in the wall Hey I want a munch I want too much Ah Breaking news at this hour another update for the front lines. Oh no Welcome to munch squad chicken wars where we bring you the latest in greats and brand-eating as it

pertains to these heinous Never-ending chicken sandwich wars that were in fight Has anyone died yet in the chicken sandwich wars? Not immediately, but you know, they certainly are shortening lives fans, right? Um with these delicious sandwiches I did try the new mcdonald's Uh chicken sandwich and I have to give it a okay Out of whoa, right? Mm-hmm. That's the highest possible rating, right? Um First let's check in on zaks bees. They got a signature sandwich that is prepping for a national launch

All across its 909 locations in 17 different states Dazzle me coming folks dazzle me sacks piece During a test that they launched in the test market sacks bees new signature chicken sandwich exceeded the performance of the existing hand-breaded filet. Oh my god by 600 Whoa, what are the what does that is the next sentence? Yeah, so we learned that our old sandwich such shit Yeah, it was fucking disgusting. It was actually just a flat flop with salt. We did not know it was so bad When it comes to portion size flavor and quality ingredients

Zaks bees is in it to win it. It says joel bulger. Oh boy. Cmo While we may not be the largest brand competing in the sandwich war I'm confident we have the right ingredients to win on taste and make chicken sandwich enthusiasts Switch to zaks bees and we'll literally do whatever it takes You ask it and we'll we will smooch Everyone on earth till zaks bees is the most famous. We will kill colonel sanders in all his forms He can shape shift, but we'll get him. We will hunt the colonel sanders horcruxes that have kept him

Uh, uh, so how are we gonna know when the chicken sandwich wars are over? Wait when we're all dead. Yeah, we're all dead. There's no one left to chew Back on october 26th the company fired off the tweet that reignited the chicken sandwich wars Since then numerous brands have entered the fray Zaks bees is actively engaging in the battle of the brands on social media and converting customers daily with a distinct taste and impressive size Of its singular chicken sandwich. Can I can I ask you something? I want you to really think this this just pods in my head What would be the real world ramifications? If zaks bees just one day took to twitter and with full support of all of their like ceos and leaders and stuff

Just tweeted wendy's suck shit. Wendy's chicken sandwich sucks shit. Wendy's has a pretty hypha uh twitter account They could probably get away with it honestly it gets it gets it. Let me finish this release because i've got other News in the front to bring you zaks bees commemorated the national rollout with a quote buns fired tweet And a quote basic training tick tock video Showing employees gearing up for the big day. Holy shit. Can you imagine being so kind of sidebar? Can you imagine being so fucking out of it that you're reading a press release and you're like, hmm a tick tock video They're really committed to this thing Prior activations include a military themed codename generator for brand loyalists

And chicken flage uniforms for team members in the front lines get the fuck out. Let's have fun with the military industrial complex, baby Yeah, it's a chicken. Let's pivot over here a and w. Are you are you uh, I know you're a root beer But you're also a fast food chain. Are you up in the mix? I just want to read you this one quote because they're bringing back uh cod sliders for lint This is how far off the boat. Oh, they mix that And I just wanted to mention it because this absolutely Inscrutable quote from from a and w With many of the country's full service restaurants closed or facing dine-in restrictions

A and w is pleased to offer consumers a variety of popular seafood options Sissy oh kevin bassner. I'm fucking asleep whether what no, but like what's the fucking Whether guests enjoy them in our dining rooms that are open Or take them home and w seafood items are tasty and affordable way to observe lint It does kind of seem like they're like with many with many restaurants closed. We've been watching a lot of tv lately Okay What the fuck are you talking about zags pieces over here like we taught our employees how to build improvised explosive devices

right And here's our our last update from burger fi a chain i'm not familiar with then then I and every time you do this justin where you bring one that nobody's heard of before It's usually the rowdiest imaginable thing It's really rowdy after having nationwide success with the spicy fried chicken sandwich burger fi international Is launching a new type of sandwich war what and this one has to do with burgers You can't well imagine if in the middle of world war two someone's like we're starting world war three like no Let's finish this one first

yeah burger fi is like December 7th is a day that will live in infamy and it is about burgers Um, so this one's about burgers. Yeah The burger fi menu is a ray of chef inspired selections and high quality wagyu beef It was only name It was only natural for the premium fast casual concept to take it to the next level with a one-of-a-kind spicy burger sensation Whoa the swag burger features double wagyu and a brisket burger a brisket blend burger

charred jalapenos candy goes pepper bacon to pack the heat sweet tomato relish To add a bit of sweet habanero pepper jack cheese and hot steak sauce So it's so I feel like we're in a lot of ingredient territory already, right? It seems like They're maybe uh, uh shooting the cannon into but to burger fights credit It doesn't make a lot of sense. There's a couple restaurants out there who are so focused on the chicken war They're not watching their home fronts. You know, I hear cuz burger fi like we're sneaking in the back We're gonna fuck you all up. You all so busy worried about chicken We're here with that beef game for the new product burger fi initiated a consumer research study

Focused on the initial reaction to the product Utilizing its savory description to test the appeal. Cool. Do you understand what I just said we asked people What's on the sandwich? We described this Would y'all like that was that good what if we added one more thing to it it says here in the press release Do you like it? Clickly it yes or no. Here's my phone number This this burger is hot as fuck and it'll melt a hole through the back of your skull. Do you want it?

Yeah, they conducted a concept test on the flavor build product name and price Can you I would love I would do anything if they're like, okay What if we called it Dave's super smash burger? Uh, that's pretty good. What if instead of four pieces of bacon you had three? I don't know that seems less good. Okay noted. Thank you. Just okay, but just said that does kind of make sense as to why it's called the swag burger Why it's called the swag burger? Oh, yeah, I'm not there yet Over 2,500 participants were part of the study with approximately 500 people per concept tested So what they said is they came up with five different five different rad burgers

The research proved invaluable in determining the selection of wagyu beef versus angus beef in the burger Wow, that's a long way of saying The let's check in with paul griffin burger fries chief culinary officer the cco burger fries foundation is burgers And because the spicy chicken wars have been part of the cultural conversation over the past few years They're safe. I think it's because that's the only one they have They've picked a a little notch of the war that they could carve out for themselves Well, it's a war on many fronts. You have the ground war. You have the at sea. You have the spicy ground before spicy the grill war

Yeah The chicken wars have been part of the cultural conversation over the past few years. Is that really? I mean, I know you guys talk about it a lot, but I haven't heard a single human being alive references We've been talking about it a lot. Justin. Well in our little corner of culture, which is obviously a biased sample Yeah, one where we talk about fast food all the time the pro it's this whole thing started As a way to find a new chick filet that everyone can eat without feeling like dog shit about it And it started out as some emotionally started out as something fun And it started as something

Virtuous and everybody was just like all hands on deck, but then it turned into well I think potbys is the best replacement Well, I think zaxby's is the best replacement and then potbys and zaxby's was like It's a war baby And it's not we're having fun while thwarting Fucking chick filet that can we remember what it's all about and now other people are thinking about like no It's burgers war now. It's gonna be car war I just I will say I will say griffin that there is still some virtue to it

I see a lot of young folks out there. They're you know, they're recycling their scrap metal They're turning in their nylons to support the troops out there Sure Yeah, everybody's a part of this effort griffin. I won't sit here and let you besmirch the honor Yeah of our troops, you know what I mean and griffin. I think maybe if you had a little bit more Uh patriotism. Thank you. Um, I cared a little bit more about the chicken wars Just let me wrap this up, please paul griffin is not done paul griffin could have stopped there

But instead paul griffin continued once we had the idea of the spicy burger It was fun to start playing with ingredients and textures. It was the best day of my life It was so fun. This has been actually super fun The candy ghost pepper bacon is perfect for those guests who are more adventurous And that makes with the boldness of wagyu and the creamy in this and the kick of habanero pepper jack cheese it really um rounds out the burger to make it one of the most flavorful

menu items at burger fight and you could tell the person like dictating this was just like still nodding and maybe paul was like, um Should I say something else or are we okay? That seems like enough. That's good. Yeah, I should stop there Dictating this while sitting on the toilet. They had been sitting on for the last hour and a half trying to pass one of these through their system Uh, but then julio ramirez the burger fight ceo. Yeah, he he heard paul fucking bomb So he throws up with the door. He's like hold on. Let me take this one The swag burger takes our unique wagyu beef offering featured in our ceo burger And it kicks it up a notch with different textures and flavors that create a daring Spiciness with each fight. Is there anyone above the ceo who can kick in another door behind him?

There is no one. Hey, it's me. It's me the owner of burger fire just in mackerel I want to tell you about this burger and that's how we find out the truth Creating the spicy burger sensation is another example of how we're redefining the way the world eats burgers Okay. Oh boy burger fi will always find ways to continue to grow Pioneer trends and create iconic offerings as part of our mission to provide the best burger experience Okay, i could go for a burger.

I'm a college student and decided to spontaneously bleach my hair at home. It's kind of a disaster Flash forwards now. I want to get it cut, but I'm absolutely terrified the hairdresser Will somehow find a way to yell at me for bleaching my hair at home What should I do if I get bombarded with guilt from a professional? That's from son of a bleach in ohio There is no one in the contiguous united states of america that would know how to answer this question I'm going Yeah, I'm scrolling through my us contacts. I'm fucking coming up empty. Oh

You know who could help uh, we could reach across the pond and then down through the bigger pond And across the pond Sort of diagonal Vertex across mini ponds. Let's just call call australia. I think it's like Oh, no, it's like friday there. What are you talking about friday? So, uh, sure. I already know the answer montane we'll just call montane who created who uh, uh Created the my brother brother my theme song. Yeah, you heard earlier. So, uh, let's just call. Hold on

Don't forget to dial the extra numbers. Oh, thanks now. You're saying you're a great extra number thing Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep Halfway there which is kind of amazing Beep beep beep beep beep beep Oh, no deemus dialed I heard it Hello, help us Hello, it's montane hi montane I'm just in mackarrita. You probably saw that on the caller ID though

Um, actually, you know, sorry. I don't have it saved but lamp Oh well, you can just do that now, I'll wait. Yeah, okay, I'll do it, give me a sec. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. All of our guests do this. I did it. It's really very, very uncomfortable for me and Travis.

If he asked you about LinkedIn, just hang up. Do not, yeah. Thank you so much for answering this, I think unsolvable paradox for us and also for writing one real slap and tune for us. Bop, I believe the kids say is something. It's a bop-a-slap, a rip. Can you kind of say the first thing

what I say is pull the jammer? Now that I'm 40, there's literally no good way for me to refer to a piece of music. I mean, like, there's nothing that is a woefully sort of antiquated or like sweaty beyond all recognition. Yeah. That's why I just lean into it at this point

and I just say like, this is a swing and tune. But I have to hear you say, I have to hear you say that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The cost, the human cost, the real human cost. Montaigne, you have hair. Uh, actually, I have, I have pretty little hair at the moment. I have a buzz cut and it's completely. A swing and a miss.

Already carton-ly. Oh, damn. Yeah, sorry. But you've met, you've met, you've messed around with your hair probably at different times. You've met people that have hair. You know others with hair. How do you deal with, OK, you're in a professional setting

like this? Listen, I know, I just want to say, I know that the casitas that we need in Montaigne's have on this. I also have dyed hair. I'm just going to say, no. It's not the same. Montaigne, you're in a professional setting with people.

How do you, how do you deal? OK, I'll give you, I'll re, I'll refigure it for like your experience. When you're talking to a nobody like ourselves about music and you know so much about music. Where, where are you at with that? Are you in like a judgmental place usually? Are you in a place where you're like wanting to help?

Where, where are you at? Definitely not. Definitely not judgmental that is. Oh, OK. Yeah, yeah, then. Music is for everyone, you know, no matter how much knowledge or wisdom is involved, it is, you know, to be shared and loved in whatever way that each individual person wants it to be

shared and loved. And I think like you guys are good with it. Love music, I think. So definitely no judgment there at all. That's very nice. I think that's very pleasant. If you go to a hairdresser with a bad home bleach job, they're not going to be angry at you.

No, they're going to judge you and feel bad for you. It's going to be, you're going to hear a lot of, oh. Yeah, to carry the analogy when I'm sure when Montaigne heard my Rugrats theme song for the show, Montaigne didn't send me an email like you suck shit. Yeah, don't do music. No, just thought it. I genuinely love the Rugrats cover, quite frankly.

I thought it was very fun. Cover is so nice. Cover is a really stolen way of putting that. If you loved it so much, Montaigne, we're going to need that huge novelty check back that we left on your back porch. No, I'm just going to throw a get over now. Just forward that to class. Oh, it just hit me.

Oh, no. What's your approach to hair? Do you just feel like you were talking about, you keep it very short right now? Is that just like the look you like? Do you experiment a lot? Do you just say like, hey, whatever, just sort of entertains you right now.

That's what I'm going with. I've had the same haircut since I was six. That's the reason I'm asking. My approach is fairly impulsive, I'd say. For the Eurovision stuff in particular, I had a very particular aesthetic that I wanted, which was have really short buzz cut hair that is like ultra colorful.

So my hair for Eurovision will be quite rainbow and buzz cutted, but like a year ago, my hair was just like natural color, like short, but not buzz cut. And then the year before that was blue, it was quite long and the year before that was pink. So just like whatever I feel like really. Must be nice.

Keep everybody's heads on swivel. Exactly. I made the mistake of having my purple hair become part of our merchandise and now Justin and Griffin won't let me change it. Yeah, you mentioned Eurovision. That's such a coincidence because your Eurovision track, see even track, like track?

Oh no. No track's fine. Just tell them what to say. Just tell them from my mouth, it turns to ash on my lips. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Technicolor is the name of the song. The video came out today as we're recording this.

I gotta go. Bye. Almost as you go as you're listening to it. It's called Technicolor. You can find it on YouTube. I think it's streaming on Spotify. Eurovision, that's massive. Congratulations.

Thank you. It is big in a way that I find rather intimidating. Really? Yeah, oh my God, I'm like. No, not really that it's big. I know it's big. It seems so cool and confident. I think I mostly am.

I think every like other week, my anxiety will start to like build up though a little bit just because like there's a lot. I think the issue is that there's this enormous compression of like time and the number of things that we can get done on a certain number of time. And you want to do things well and when you don't have time,

it's hard to do that in a way that is like foolproof. So that's been a bit of a stress apart. Thanks for wasting time on our song. Yeah, absolutely not. Honest to God, literally a dream come true. We're going to talk about that in just one second. I want to talk about Technicolor for one more second because it is so fucking good.

And if you go listen to it, you're going to listen to it on repeat. Everybody on our staff has been listening to it literally constantly, sharing the video around. We are in love with it. I want to ask you, I was watching the performance video today, did you wish at any point while you have been recording

this and do you ever wish you put fewer notes in it? Because man, you guys sing a lot of notes. You do a moment where you're in front of like a bajillion people on a massive stage where you're like, God, I put a lot of notes in this motherfucker. Should have been five notes. Not five, but certainly not this many. It's a lot.

Honestly, there is very little time to breathe in the song, which is quite difficult because we have organized choreography for it as well. I think like all of it is manageable if I stand still. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I've opted not to, so. Oh, which country are you most gunning for? Yeah, what's the point of your eyes?

Yeah, yeah. I don't know if you guys paid any attention to Eurovision last year, but Iceland put forward the most ripping. God, it's so absolutely fantastic. God, it makes me mad how good it is. Do you know how many times I've listened to this fucking song? It's amazing and the video and the conceit,

like it's about his unborn or like too little to have any consciousness kid who is wondering about the thoughts of. And it's just like so sweet and the video is so funny. It's just he's amazing. I'm actually a huge fan of him. So you're going to crush him, right? You guys, you guys heard this song, right?

Here, here, I want to play you five seconds of the song. I'm allowed to because it's Eurovision. I don't care. Just be quiet for a second. Believe it, I will always be there. So you can't tell me anything. And I'll listen. Fair use, that's the end of fair use. Oh, that was too much.

Unbelievable. We didn't produce it. But you're going to beat their ass. Yeah, maybe we'll see. Beat them all the way back to Iceland. Hey, let's talk about the My Brother, My Brother Me theme song, which I don't, I guess is not going to be called.

That would be a wild thing to see on a CD, that was a CD. I've, I titled it in the file, I sent it to you, My Life and then in brackets is better with you, exclamation mark. From My Brother, My Brother Me. Yeah, exactly. My Brother, My Brother Me.

And we can work on that. We can soothe you on it up a bit and just be like, and then in brackets, just be like a fateful occurrence on the shores of the, on the great wide Mississippi. Exactly. Yeah. What is amazing about your song is we had a very, I mean, it couldn't have been a more abstract brief

that we slid across your proverbial desk. I didn't find it abstract at all actually. I thought it was really clear. Oh, well, good. That's good to hear. But you really, I mean, we told you sort of kind of what we were in the market for. And it's like you reach into our brains

and found a song that somehow fulfilled all of it without us being able to like actually articulate any of that. So how'd you do that? I guess it's my question. What's yours to you? I mean, I am your demo. Like I was already a listener of the show for like a few years and like I'm into comedy and stand up

and my partner writes funny things and I don't know. Yeah, I guess like that's already a genre and a type of music that I'm familiar with and amenable to and enjoy making a lot. And also like there's a bit of a 2000s revival happening, right? And like that's what based on the brief, I what I imagine was a kind of like high school coming of age, like comedy film where it's like incredibly corny and but very like

instead of being about awful boys who do terrible things in high school. It was going to be about like these two friends who like meet each other and they just genuine. Oh, hello, my cat, Captain Poodles has just walked in time. Such a good ass name. Yeah, it was just going to be about like two wholesome friends who like meet each other, enjoy each other's company and then realize like, oh, this is really great and my life is is nice.

And I thought that was that fit the vibe of the show. Oh, yeah, it's great. Who's the front? Who's the friends? And I guess like if we're going to miss two miss. Oh, if you want to, I can make a name. No, no, no, no, because I want this to be like the who's the me and my brother, my brother and me. I we need more.

We need more meseek around our show. At this point, we've given so much away. It makes me a little back. The first time I thought about it, listen to the song, and this is so, I don't know, this is perhaps overly modeling, but it it really exemplifies the way that not how I think about my brothers really at all. But OK, that's kind of a zero sum. But how I think about our our listeners,

like the people who listen to the show, like it really captures my the exuberance I have for like making stuff for them. And because of the pandemic, like the extent to which I have missed seeing people, like seeing people that like listen to our stuff and meeting our listeners who are kind of like an extended family for us. Like it really captured that that sense I have, like not kind of a little bit of the the bittersweet part of like missing, seeing them and missing, seeing them in person and doing shows for them.

But also like how how much they have improved our life just by listening to our stuff. Absolutely. It really captured that energy for me. I didn't get that at all. Cool. That's all right. That's music for you, though. It just made it made me miss going to the movies. You know what I mean? Like, why do you have to cut out my rap verse? Yeah, let's talk about the third and fourth and fifth verses that we wrote for the song that you did not include.

You know what, Griffin, we'll include it now, Griffin. If you just want to do it, yeah. Well, the problem is in the note that I got back from Montana, and I thought it was fair and I didn't have an answer to it. She said, this is mostly numbers. And I said, you're right. I said, that's I guess you have a good point there. I hadn't thought about it is that this this verse is most it's more numbers

than words and it is basically math equation. And you did and you said that doesn't match the vibe. And I took that I took that very personally. Yeah, I'm sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts and you just got to live with it and and and grow strong and move on. You know, do you think it's weird, Martin, that your song, Technicolor, includes the line, yeah, I promise you, yes, all you nasty dudes, and that's not in our song.

It seems that that was not in our song. It seems impossible that you wrote that lyric, but it's not part of our. Again, it didn't feel like it fit the vibe of the song. But again, if we do a remix, then I'm happy to splice the two and make a Technicolor, Mubumbum themed mashup. I want to do a remix of the song. That's just the song exactly as it is, but it includes clips from the show interspersed like they do.

I'm like Batman, the Michael Keaton come in like of good work. That was the last time you all watch the Kiss from a Rose music video because it's just shots from the movie interspersed with seal like standing next to like a floodline. And it's all lit the same as the movie clips. Yeah, like so it's like I seal is on it. I'm on an adjacent rooftop. I'm watching Batman and the kid.

Montaigne, what's next for you? Obviously, very focused on Eurovision. That's going to be this spring. And then what's what's what's after that? Maybe album three, I guess. Last year, I made a lot of music with the same guy who did the theme song and who did the Eurovision song. And I think it's probably it's probably adding up to a third album,

which I'm excited about. Who is that? Who is that that did? His name is Dave Hammer. Dave Hammer. Yeah, he's a keen guy. His name is Dave Hammer, and you waited until now to mention it. Hello. He his name is Dave Hammer. Well, his real name is David Haddad,

but his his like a former official sort of name is Dave Hammer. Both great names. His real name is Dr. Smash and Stine. But yeah, so just like a lot of hammer based music production in the studio. That's not true. No, he's a really awesome, lovely person who listens to all my crazy ideas.

And yeah, just so easy to work with. And we've made really, really cool stuff. Like over the last year, which I'm really excited about and hopefully can do more of this coming year. Well, I we're so thrilled to have you as part of our sort of extended, extended, extended family. And I stuttered that I didn't mean to say extended seven times because it really it really imbued it with a distance

and arms reach that I did not paint. Yeah, I do live very far away, sir. That is true. Physically, but all my God, Montaigne, when we do get down there to or over there. It's kind of down. It's basically down. It's a perspective, isn't it?

But when we get down there, we'll do a show. You will do a show together. It's going to be great. Oh, that would be amazing. I just want to say really quickly as well, I recently did an interview for like the Mardi Gras event with Courtney Act, who's this amazing drag queen. And the interview was done on top of the Harbour Bridge.

And what was so funny to me, it was like entering the facility where they like host the Harbour Bridge Climes and stuff like that. They have all these pictures of like all these celebrities who've done the bridge climb, and I forgot like how much of a staple of like tourism and like celebrities visiting Australia that was like doing the bridge climb because like everyone, like the village people had a photo there. And like Danny Radcliffe when he was 11 and like all these people was very funny. Anyway, you guys go to the bridge climb.

Can I climb a bridge? Sure. Yeah, absolutely. OK, we got a bridge here that Montaigne over. We've all got bridges over the New River. It's in West Virginia. It's over the New River Gorge, which is just a massive thing. Very deep hole, like many gorges, it's a deep hole. And it's weird.

The weirdest thing about it is there's this thing called Bridge Day, where for one this is not real. For one day, it's legal to jump off the bridge. Like, yeah, the purge, but very localized. It's to be clear, jump off the bridge, like with a parachute. Yeah, with a parachute or a base jump or whatever your flavor is. But there's this. I don't know how I just wish I had been there when it started.

So he's like, OK, everybody, I've announced it to make a sheriff. Everyone can jump off the bridge today. Now stop asking. That's really funny. That's great. Thank you so much for for being with us. And thanks for the help and thanks for writing our song. Where could people find more Montaigne? Well, man, so many places.

Obviously, like you said, like my music streams on Spotify, but also, you know, Apple Music and YouTube and all that stuff. I also Twitch stream and I like make music live on my Twitch often. I haven't streamed for a while just because I've been so tanked with like Eurovision stuff, but me and my partner also sometimes just play games. And I also have a Discord. If anyone wants to join the Discord, it's a really wholesome, lovely place. We mostly just send each other pictures of like our animals.

Gosh, what else? I think that's kind of it. And like, if you live in Australia or in Sydney, you'll probably see me around on the street because I've got the brightest head visible from all kinds of kilometers away. Nice. All right. Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of your morning, night, afternoon, afternoon, fantastic.

Nice one. Third time's a charm. Norris, thank you guys for having me so much. Hey, guys, real quick, real quick before we wrap up, I just shared a link in the Slack. I want you guys to look at this tweet because just real quick, I want you to think about what the implications of this are. I've never watched the mass singer before, but apparently it was revealed that the giant snail contained, well, you see in the video, a celebrity.

And it was this really weird reveal. And then the celebrity in the giant snail, when you guys see it, just say it out loud, hey, are you kidding me with this? This is so unfair. Spoilers for the mass singer, but the giant snail was Kermit the Frog. What does that mean? What does that mean? Hey, how was anybody supposed to fucking guess that?

How? What is that? Wait, what does that mean? But Kermit the Frog, who's Kermit? Yes, thank you. But it wasn't correct. It was the proof. It was that's not. That's nothing.

I'm so fucking furious. But hey, you got us talking, didn't you, Holly? Fuck, I got us again. Thank you so much for listening to our program. We hope you've enjoyed yourself.
