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 I could have never seen what was coming for me hangs at the skate park hangs by the beach my life It feels It's better it's better It's better it's better
Starting point is 00:01:00 It's better it's better Hello everybody welcome to the party everybody get up inside of slam now We got my brother my brother me going now. We can do the safe jam It's your chance it in the hoop now. Don't touch the backboard. Just put it in the hoop I'm Justin one of them Travis one of them's Griffin. Listen. Here's the thing with a yeah big dog. Yeah. Yeah Here's the thing. Okay, Space Jam did come out a week ago as the crew size as we're recording this a week ago And we fucked up because we actually did a whole episode about fucking lame news parties Yeah, and then I got off the call and as I was getting off the call like oh my god
Starting point is 00:01:47 We talked about space and not jam about it. We were so close because a fucking Jeff Bezos Yeah, like he always does distracted us from the important issues Let's actually start there if I could okay Yeah, the new film Space Jam a new legacy which Griffin and I have enjoyed it I have no us and Travis has not partake in it has not partake in yet I want to say one thing up front. This is not part of talking about but like this We haven't started talking about it. I haven't touched this is this is the preamble This is the horse dovers to the conversation about why is it called Space Jam?
Starting point is 00:02:28 Cuz they can yeah, I'm in it at all not in this one space was in the first one if you remember There's a cyberspace in it Now cyberspace jam would have been a much better name cyber space jam is actually a fucking great name cuz cyberspace is in it Okay, Travis. I'm just gonna tell Griffin and I are gonna be telling you wild shit about this movie Okay, and I don't want to try it. Yeah, what you had pitched is like we would make things up. I don't even think We were okay. I have the game. Are you ready for the game? Okay, tell us the game Griffin and I are gonna tell you wild shit about Space Jam a new legacy Okay, but each wild thing we tell each other has to top the the wild
Starting point is 00:03:11 Previous thing of the previous thing. Okay, so if we go deep in the paint too early and Travis If if the other one can't come up with a wild thing that tops the previous wild thing then we start a new round and you're the judge Okay, okay great great. Okay, so try and start low juice. There's a lot. Don't don't come at it with a Okay, here's okay. Here's what we'll do. Here's how we make it fair, right? Justin well whoever goes first right has to if the other person can't top there's top their own Just show that it could have been I see I see that's good Okay. Yes, that's really good spelling be rules. Yes. We should also say that like Spoilers
Starting point is 00:03:51 Industry now so like everybody worked really hard on this. Yeah Jordan is in it, but not that Michael Jordan What? It's a great gag. I almost feel like this is the only the only spoilable thing about the film So like we did warn you at the top. We warned you at the top. It's a fucking great gag Honestly Michael B. Jordan or something. Yeah, but it's Michael B. Jordan. It's so fucking funny Except for it does kind of lean into like some some unsettling things about the looney Tunes perception of human beings Yeah, because they do think it is the Michael Jordan that they are dear friends with yeah
Starting point is 00:04:34 Time with there's a codicelle there where Sylvester says it has been 25 years, which then sent me Made me feel like a mommy. Yeah, maybe feel like a little bit of mommy. Okay. Yeah, Griffin. Can you beat that? there's a matrix parody in which Men shoot at speedy Gonzalez with deadly guns weaponry Huh realistic guns bullets. I mean, it's a it's essentially a Clip from the matrix, but they did put You know what you speed round that whole sequence. Let's just ping pong it back and forth
Starting point is 00:05:11 I take back my speedy Gonzalez being shot at because that is part for the course for the looney tunes I am going to say Travis. There is a good long chunk of Austin Powers in the There's like a good bit of Austin Powers in this one Powers has been in the movie for about 20 years and it's in space gym because they go into like do a scene of That they do a scene where they're in awesome powers. Yeah, have trap trap that okay So that was Griffin mine is they do a scene in the Mad Max What
Starting point is 00:06:03 And listen, I saw a lot of haters out there saying wow what a fucking Cache in sell out the best is good. That's good stuff. It's so Good, it's so good. That's good that that happened. It's not bad that that happened It's actually good and I would say looney griffin top that God, I mean, okay We can even start with John Cheadle is a cyber man who steals LeBron James's son and Takes him to teach him that it's okay. He's not good at basketball and that's okay to be good at video games Yeah, that's a great lesson
Starting point is 00:06:44 But it turns because then LeBron James's son is like I don't care if this leads to the destruction of mankind I'm gonna beat my dad at cyber basketball. So we're in a hook situation. That's what exactly it's exactly a hook situation does that top Now Travis, I have a question though was Griffin's thing an escalation or do I get a point? Well, I want to say Justin gets a point because the only way it would have been an escalation is if it was John Cheadle as Don Cheadle doing this. It's his name is algae rhythm. Uh-huh. Okay, we've discussed this We just we can't pretend like that's news to us Next round you start. Yeah, I start off. Okay
Starting point is 00:07:27 There's a rat battle with porcupig and algae rhythm. I say a rat battle is pretty one-sided I don't think algae rhythm ever gets a hand on the ball. Yeah, that's weird They're a rap battle where algae rhythm does not because it does not rap and he gets so wrecked by porcupig But he's working big in a hoodie Probably but he comes at it with you expect him to be like the And like come at it with some like real rap god energy. Yeah, some real twista energy But it's very he wraps very slow and bad Whoa, yeah, I was actually kind of getting pumped up because I felt like it would actually be kind of fun to watch porcupig
Starting point is 00:08:09 absolutely destroy People act like he does But he don't but it sucks. It sucks shit They even do the like you know the meme where the guys like kind of reacting to the rap battle and it's that one where he's like Running across the screen without you know, if you saw it, but they're acting like it's a very big Win when it is actually just like about as good as porcupig. I would think would do a rap What they should have done and I haven't seen it
Starting point is 00:08:39 But maybe this does happen. They should have instead had it be like a king speech thing where someone teaches porcupig Not to stutter. I think that's the whole movie. Yeah That would be way more exciting to me. Okay. I got I got one as long as we're keeping a little mile here LeBron The story is about LeBron as a father and he does have kids in it. Uh-huh, but they're not his kids LeBron James has actual kids in real life. Yes, they did not cast those kids No, not only did they not cast those kids the names have been changed to fictional kids But LeBron does not have I see I see I see that's pretty weird But I'm gonna say give Griffin that point. Okay, because that's not super wild to me because I don't know if I got a chance to
Starting point is 00:09:27 Invent better versions of my kids. It's not that my kids are great. Yeah, I take it I'll give them I like I don't understand the reasoning behind it. It is a wild thing though Griffin Yeah, any other ones just bump it around your head. Oh God, I'll just drop one then cuz I feel like the pace. Let's do just like Lightning round. It doesn't even have to top. It's just like whoever can't come up with a wild thing. Here's one Traff Hey, Traff. Yeah, here's one. Yeah When LeBron and the Looney Tunes are playing in basketball The they are being watched by Voldemort and the lucky Phoenix Joker. Wait
Starting point is 00:10:06 What? Oh, okay, and I'm gonna take it one up top. I'm gonna take I'm only one. Oh, wait, you can't just say that audience and while they're playing basketball, they are also being watched by the Fucking dudes from Clockwork Orange is also in it is our watching it and they're like we love basketball And it's like I don't I've never seen the Clockwork Orange film But I do believe those those gentlemen are quite quite rotten It's Yeah, I seem to vaguely recall that yeah, but in the in the stands in the audience because the premise is like That it's inside the servers of
Starting point is 00:10:46 All of Warner Brothers, so all their IP gets to come watch them play basketball So okay, so more a thinly veiled reference to like white supremacy. Yeah, not see as I was like I would like to watch the bass Voldemort's there the Joker call me Baltimore the serious murder Joker and not the fun joke fun Joker They could have had fun Joker in but they do have fun penguin How about that? Fuck yeah, but not any to be tow Well, that would have been absent now Travis that would have been even too wild for space
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah, if that that fish sucking monster had been there in the stands watching them get wild Fuck this fucking let's talk about the goon squad. Yeah so the goon squad is based on scans of actual players in the NBA and WNBA like And but but They've been given they've been blended with other Things like us there's a snake woman and a spider person and a guy who can turn into water and also fire
Starting point is 00:11:55 And so they set all this up like oh this kid scan these Players with his phone and now they've got superpowers and that's the team and then about halfway through the game Don Cheeto's like but check out my time traveling robot. That's also on the team and it's like Who the get ready for Chronos the basketball player who can freeze time? It's like I thought everybody was based on actual players that had special problem. No, okay We're just like a step behind a hat on a hat where it's like I'm wearing a hat and I built a hot store on top of that Yes, and imagine Travis in Space Jam one if it's Swag hammer the big alien mean boss It's like this game's not going the way I want
Starting point is 00:12:35 I'm gonna eat some basketball power to get huge too cuz the algae rhythm does that and he's like fuck this I'm playing now and you get to see a huge muscly just ripped Don Cheeto I mean that but you know that I understand that they play fast and loose with the rules in these games But they can't be allowed. Oh Don't worry about it rules have gone completely out the fucking window the game at the end of Space Jam 2 is a disgrace to Basketball, it's not it. Yeah, it's embarrassing It's like the scene in my ducks when the ducks get so funny and he's like that was actually too funny Yeah, and I'm going back being Gordon Bombay the lawyer now and I'm mad again. Yeah. Yeah now. I'm mad at you guys
Starting point is 00:13:16 Juice I just did a few. I'm sorry. It's no it's all good. It's all good. I'm I got one for you, Travis I got one for you. I should have mentioned that the Night King from Game of Thrones is also watching to play basketball They're having fun. Yeah, he's killed a lot of people. There are there a lot of murders in there, huh? Yeah, there's like a lot of fun The internet says that Danny DeVito's penguin is actually I think he's I think I did see him So that penguin too, okay, but it's not Danny DeVito playing. It's like obviously not perfect You probably didn't need to say that it's Manny Belvita Is
Starting point is 00:13:55 Manny Belvita is what you get when you do like a fly experiment and accidentally cross Danny DeVito with a breakfast cook here Right, exactly. Yes. Um iron giants in it. Oh, yeah, just wild because he was also in the other one You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, they couldn't is a Vin Diesel in it as a no, that's universal, isn't it? Listen, listen, this is my biggest one. The monsters are in it, but in their small supplicant Alien forms. Is there a Murray in it? No, no, he neither is but a more importantly way night. No way night No way. Oh, this is our night. Listen the little aliens from Space Jam 1 are in it, right? And they're in the crowd, right? When the Goon Squad does well and it slams and smashes and it's just
Starting point is 00:14:43 Blasts the Toon Squad these little aliens go wild cheering And when the Looney Tunes start to win the basketball game The Monty's these little aliens who were the monstars in Space Jam 1 get sad and disappointed No, that's bullshit. That's not canon That's not canon at the end of Space Jam 1 They like joined the Looney Tunes to live in Toontown and be silly aliens and now you expect me to believe That they've turned against They just bet a lot of money against because they're like we know that the Looney Tunes will win, right?
Starting point is 00:15:18 So it's got to be long odds and they put a lot of money on the fucking Goon Squad So it's not about personal. It made me so angry to like No, Michael Jordan at no way night, whatever like you can't get the folks. That's fine, but you had you got this wrong You undid all the work. You did all the work and this is wrong I love the Looney Tunes Tram, I want to I just I just dropped a still in there just to get you like really worked up Huh, I just dropped a still in the oh shit Can you tell me he's seeing this? Oh shit just top of my head. There's the mask
Starting point is 00:15:57 He's wearing what appears to be some sort of referee shirt. We have a referee. We got Danny DeVito Just poking his head over there's the Joker. Yeah, there's that looks like I'm gonna go with penguin not the Joker Oh, thank you. I'm gonna say that's agent J or agent K No, it's one of the matrix. No There's there's there's mr. Freeze and a nun I Guess none from the X from the X rated film the Devils That is for some reason in the back. There's a woman who looks like like June Cleaver Yeah, oh
Starting point is 00:16:37 Trav just two other things that I needed to tell you real quick. I have a actually like a and a Hamburglar The ham what look over the mass when that's that's great Trav. That's great That's great. I'm gonna play a quick audio clip for you for this one or else. You won't believe me That's Taz Yes, Rick and Morty in it. They're in it. They're in it. They are avicially not Looney tunes. They're not looney tunes. They're regular tunes. Can I tell you one of that? Can I tell you of all the things you've said to me today? nothing is
Starting point is 00:17:25 more offensive to me Then the inclusion of huge Rick and Morty head. No, just the idea of like, okay, you're gonna include like real people in it Okay, great a crossover. That's great. But then also just like here's other cartoons This isn't fucking who frame you should have us Travis Travis. You should not see this fuck Hey, Trav don't watch this. You're not ready to go to some different places in this man. What are what are the rules? There's no rules Justin. What's your last thing cuz I got one last thing too that I think it's gonna be the
Starting point is 00:18:01 See, I feel like mine is all right, let's hear it. Let's hear it. This is it Travis. This is for all the marbles This is for all the marbles Griff, let's say him at the same time. I want to say three two one and then we both say it, okay? Okay, three two one Bugs Bunny dies again Hey Trav, hey Trav. Bugs Bunny dies at the end. At the end of this one Bugs Bunny dies In order to win the game They gotta do a special basketball move that will freeze the simulation and kill whoever does it and LeBron James is like I'm gonna do it for my son, but then Bugs steals the ball and does it and dies and Travis for the extra bonus points
Starting point is 00:18:49 Bugs Bunny's last words before he passes from the mortal coil are What's down doc? I don't know That's pretty good. That's pretty good. It's so funny. It's That's all folks That's touching. Oh god. What's down doc is actually extremely extremely choice. Oh, he's afraid of going to hell So he's asking like what's down there? You know what I mean? I don't care to die, but So that is Just say Bugs dies. I'm not gonna watch this. We can't spoil everything Bugs dies
Starting point is 00:19:34 and then because he cares Just later he's there and LeBron James is like you died and Bugs Bunny's like no I didn't That's the dumbest thing you've ever said LeBron James you fucking idiot. Anyway, I'm gonna sleep at your home Okay in the film and honestly folks You probably should still watch it. It's it's good. It's it's great. It's supremely amazing. Hi It's amazing. I do my kids were kind of like Idly watching at it and I'm like standing on my couch
Starting point is 00:20:15 Ripping my shirt and half every five seconds because it's so utterly unhinged. It's not a movie No, no district is since but it's a heck of a thing. Hey, um, this is an advice show Hobbs If you're about to tweet at any of us that we spent too long talking about space jam a new legacy Or not long enough and if you're about to leave your man out spoilers or whatever Well that you can be mad about but if you're about to say we talked about too much I I encourage you to go listen to another podcast because this is this is who we are you you had to know What you were what you were jacking into at this point after after 11 years
Starting point is 00:20:54 This is an advice show obviously so I wanted to give some advice to people The position of mayor in my very small town is mostly symbolic But would look great on a resume. I haven't a friend's to get the votes next election But here's the tricky part the current mayor owns a record store I go hang out at almost every weekend. How do I unseat him without severing the relationship we have? That's from new mayor in New York Hmm I mean you want to unseat Bill de Blasio. You think you have enough friends to
Starting point is 00:21:29 Secure that also another weird thing Bill de Blasio in the record store. Oh, yeah, it's crazy weird. Oh, yeah, he loves that stuff They may mean New York State Maybe that is actually that makes wicked more sense. Yeah, that's a lot more sense. That might be possible There doesn't have to be hard feelings Farmer Huntington mayor Jean Dean passed away this week. I'm sure you know sad news. Yeah Yeah, Jean Dean passed away this week in Steve Williams current mayor Steve Williams, but a very nice tribute to her because she Absolutely
Starting point is 00:22:04 Thumped his ass the first time they ran against each other him beat him shitless I hope he's listening to this because they really Jean Dean beat the shit out of Steve And When she pat and he said that a few years later He saw her and he was and he had like focused on some other stuff after he got beat And it had gone well for him and he thanked her because if she hadn't beaten him so soundly He wouldn't have been focusing on the stuff like business-wise that he wanted to focus on so it all works I mean we all have different paths sure if your path is to be the mayor and his path is to be
Starting point is 00:22:42 Unseated by you it might work out for everybody in the end Stephen Jean had a great relationship until our passing You could bet you can have that relationship just because you have different paths that happen to intersect You know and maybe maybe he doesn't want a mayor anymore You know he doesn't want to be the mayor. He has a record shop that sounds like kicks ass, right? Yeah And you're asking me Travis McRoy would I rather deal with the day-to-day stresses of Running a city or Hang out at my super cool record store. Yeah Pretty obvious to me. I
Starting point is 00:23:19 Think another sort of tact for this as you go to the mayor and say you got to be the mayor I Think it would be cool to be the mayor. So it's my turn. Mmm. I would like a turn at mayor, please Oh, yeah, walk up to him and symbolically like reach up right empty hands reach up to his head And say heavy is the head my friend. I'll take it from here. Please. Let me take the crown and then and so you're gonna Yeah, I'll hey this one's on me. You look so tired. You look so tired. You look like shit This job is killing you hey, I'm gonna save your life You've aged 40 years in the last two my friend. Let me
Starting point is 00:24:02 Take over here. Can we talk about a town that's so small you could just decide to be the mayor But can support a record store It's a front for pop. Well, yeah, which it's a record store. That's right. Well, yeah Fair enough. I Think that when we all really think about if we all look at our heart of hearts, right? I would say 99% of people who want to be the mayor Want to be the mayor so they can say they're the mayor not because all the hard work not because the change that one can implement No, no, no, no. It's the name. So why not just say like hey, I'll be the mayor and you can be my vice mayor
Starting point is 00:24:42 Yeah, and do the work and I'll be the mayor. I want to I want to I want to challenge something I want to challenge the idea that being the mayor would look great on our resume because it does raise a central question Well, if you're the mayor and then you apply for a job first first problem If you apply for a job while you are the mayor, hmm, not great Don't look great. Nope. Not great second if you apply for a job after you're the mayor Why ain't you the mayor no more? Yep. What hey what happened? What happened there no more? Also, if you were a mayor and now you're applying to work at books a million or whatever like That seems why why'd you get out of politics? What happened? Was there a scandal? I'm going to assume
Starting point is 00:25:28 Scandal definitely definitely a scandal for sure a scandal There are very few no matter where you look especially in American politics I guarantee that there are very few politicians who reach any kind of like high-ranking level and then go now I'm gonna go apply for jobs afterwards. Yeah Yeah, there's always something stinky in there in there There's always a little skeleton in the closet the old mayor closet unless you're doing it unless you're only applying for jobs in The town that you were mayor of That feels like I could see that working out
Starting point is 00:26:06 Man it'd be cool to be the mayor Oh, then if you apply somewhere else and they're like hey, why aren't you the mayor anymore? You can just say like oh my turn was done My turn was that see that's what I'm saying. Let's break the stigma of losing at politics By just saying like everyone gets a turn like term. It's is what you mean. I'm in favor Well Griffin, but like monthly. Oh Yeah, like get in there for a month and like get wild on it And I think this would break a lot of the gridlock, huh? If everybody's like we got a fucking month, right?
Starting point is 00:26:37 Let's get it done then there would reach a point though Griffin where and I don't know how long it would take before like Okay, we need somebody to do this now anybody. Are we out of people who want to do it? Are we gonna start back at the beginning of the list? Oh, man Um, hey, do you want to approach the wizard? Yeah, please. Let me humble myself. Yeah, I'm gonna make myself big so I can scare him Oh Travis, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. You're late. I'm doing it. Oh Damn it. Okay. I'm gonna roll. He turned 20 sweet potato. I love sweet potatoes Well, this one was sent in by fucking Graham Robuck. Thank you, Graham Robuck. Just a platform agnostic treasure hunter It's like a formula one racer comes and races at NASCAR like the hip-hop talladega nights exactly like that. So
Starting point is 00:27:29 What we're looking at here is a this one's not peer reviewed. Oh, I know that's important to some people risk it But it it is called how to live in a haunted house You just moved in and now you have really bad feelings about the place chances are the place could be haunted. I mean it could be Termites yeah, but anything could be haunted. Yeah, you may be frightened But don't be reading this article and can help you cope with the ghost presence Written an awfully big check here at the top of the thing. So very first thing guys Very first thing that is if you don't do this thing, don't even think about living in a haunted house Okay, you got to take a well-built guard dog like German Shepherd with you into the house
Starting point is 00:28:12 What the fuck is that gonna do? The reason dogs easily detect the presence of spirits it will be daring to you also with the dog Awesome. Yeah, but that's dog. That's gonna work once Me think the dog barks and the ghost goes whoa and then goes. Oh wait. I'm a fucking ghost. I'm a ghost What are you gonna do? Why does the size of why does it have to be a well-built guard dog like German Shepherd? When all it needs to do is since it's not gonna eat the ghost it's not gonna get into a scuffle. Do you know what I mean? Anyway
Starting point is 00:28:45 Remind yourself before you move anything into the house walk through the entire place doing this will give the ghost and then in parentheses s in case there's multiple ghosts a chance to scope you out and accept your presence in their home So just before you move anything in the house got to do a quick walk through so the ghost get acclimated to your presence But do have an enormous fucking gnarly dog in there with you that the ghost will feel Afraid of and then they'll know what it's like to be to feel that fear Well, that's assuming that the dog is acclimated to ghost too, right ghost aren't scared of any of this. Yeah Nothing could scare a guy. I don't know why the first move is Intimidate the ghost when it should be like listen, you're gonna need to get that ghost on your side too sweet
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yeah, well the ghost's forgiveness beg your pardon ghosts. Yeah To get like a good cable package or something for the ghost do stuff for the ghost that the ghost can't do for themselves I'll open the blind so you can see outside or something, right? I will open these this box of cheez-its for you, right? You have the cheez-its within I know you have trouble with the box I'll put in some scented candle. Can you smell? Because is that a thing ghosts can still do? I don't know. We're still getting to know each other Ask the dog the dog knows Remember before moving all your stuff into the place move as few items as possible
Starting point is 00:30:05 This will avoid riling the ghosts to the changes going on in the transition from former occupants Why not just ask hey, can I put the couch here? Where that couch come from? I feel like this if I could put the couch here It's gonna get less glare on the television that I bought for us for us Go so this is a this is a boiling the frog sort of Like strategy for moving into a ghost house is if you go slow enough the ghost won't even notice that you're a different person Ghosts are also very inconsiderate. Yeah, keep keep in mind while moving furniture other objects and be alert for any feelings You may have about where an item should be placed
Starting point is 00:30:41 If you can make a ghost happy, but Ghost happy by placing a chair in a particular place. It could save you lots of trouble later on Yeah, put it in the middle of the kitchen. This is a sofa middle of the kitchen Happy That makes me happy a refrigerator backyard, but what? Oh man, is the dog is the ghost pissed off. Yep. Where does it want it? Put the oven in your bedroom What I agree the boss wants it boo. Why did you say boo? You're the dog?
Starting point is 00:31:16 Are you guys on the same side now? Oh, no, I've been infected. You can't get affected. No, I got it. I got Man man try to relate to the ghost by talking about what life might have been like in the house If it is an old house and try to do something former residents would have done in the house Well, they live there like eating some meals in a formal dining room or listening to period music from the town that time The house was built. There's no way the ghost wants that When was this house built? Looks like 1993. This is how we do it This is my jam
Starting point is 00:31:50 This is how we do it Try to talk about some big events that would have happened while past owners would have been living there for example on October 29th of a year Try to talk about how past residents would have felt about the stock market crash in the beginning of the Great Depression No, you're bumming me out Tell me what's going on with the Kardashians It's so close to Halloween. That's like my jam, but the Great Depression. Yeah, it's like though stop it I don't want to think of it. Do you want to think about when you're fish time? It's on come on, man I should move on to
Starting point is 00:32:28 Avoid the area the ghost is in if if they are in a particular place Try using the room as a storage area and leave the ghost alone So do you want me to fucking have dinner with it and play fucking? This is how we do it and talk about the Great Depression or do you want me to like? Chill on it and leave them to wither and rot. You could also just like not walk through it It's not like that's a lot of these are just good rules for having a roommate Don't sit on your roommate. Ask your roommate where to put the furniture talk to your roommate. What would they like? Try to spend a night in the place some ghosts try to communicate with the living through dreams allowing the ghost to get its message
Starting point is 00:33:03 To the living may put an end to the haunting and send the ghost on its way Well, I'm going to sleep in my house Yeah, so this one's gonna get done no matter what are you sure I should try the other shit before this? Thank you for sleeping here. My message is there's a carbon monoxide league Except the ghost This may be difficult for some to do most ghosts will leave you alone if you acknowledge their presence Hey ghost except the ghost leave them alone have dinner with them dream about them, but I love you Don't you do this to me, man? I love here
Starting point is 00:33:38 Don't say it if you don't mean it you heard me. Yeah, I can love you Talk to the ghost let it know it's welcome to stay if it leaves you and your family alone But remember if the ghost does something scary let it know you are upset and that if that such behavior continues It will not be tolerated. Okay. Yeah, okay fucking tough guy Back that up. Hey back that up shit head This is shifted from what to do if you have a roommate to what to do if you move into a house and there's a big scary dog there Yeah, hey, you just stay over there, and I'll stay over here. No, don't growl at my kid or else what? We'll move. I'll kick your ass
Starting point is 00:34:17 Probably not that though. I shouldn't be persistently aggress some ghosts in me persistently aggressive in this behavior may prevent you from sleeping or Enjoying your home life the way you deserve to if this happens never respond in anger This will only add fuel to the fire focus on feeling love for these entities that probably haven't felt love in a very long time If ever directing positive energy toward them can be surprisingly effective and stopping unwanted behavior, okay? So that's the tip. I need to get some sleep. Do you want to make out? Yes, please? Yes, please Um, I don't know why my ghost kind of sounds like bane a little bit. It does a lot.

I was just casting. Cripped toast of the town Turn that frown upside down. It's the Cripped toast of the town. The what? You ain't gonna need an actuary to know This news ain't deflationary. It's the Sound of the Cripped toast Of the town. I still don't understand what the toast of the town. He's got a lot going on here Griffin Yeah, it's toast of the town and crypto toast of the town and Justin, please And so he's combining them like a portmanteau, but bad
Starting point is 00:40:14 Okay, but I don't know if he's taking us into a crypt. Hmm. I understand. There's no crypt. There's no crypto. Justin, please I'm explaining it. Oh, I see. It's a cryptocurrency thing and he's gonna eat toast. I think okay Toast isn't part of it toast toast is definitely no toast is definitely part of it. Definitely gonna be nice. Yeah You said crypt toast of the town. Why would you say toast? Welcome to crypt toast of the town Where I tell you the latest in the world of cryptocurrency Now I do a serious bitcoin analysis show on tiktok. This is not that this is for fun Okay, yeah, and then we talk about toast Uh toast ain't part of it. I'm pretty sure because
Starting point is 00:40:54 Because I don't know if you guys how what's your guys? I need to know your real world awareness of cryptocurrency. He almost made up some money Fucking nothing. Okay, good. Um, because here's this story is that do you guys know about altcoins? No, so altcoins are kind of like spin-offs of the good cryptocurrency Which in and of itself is kind of questionable, right? It's it's cryptocurrency nights Yeah, so um the celebrities Because it's tough to make these rise above the den Celebrity and it's like really it's momentum-based, right? Like you remember what happened with dogecoin?
Starting point is 00:41:32 Where everybody's like doge. I love it. Let's get on board everybody Buy a bunch and it's like wow, this is really expensive. What's it for it? Nothing? Okay, so they get celebrities to try to pump these up, right? So logan paul has been pushing one called ding Huh dink doing no now you need to say that again bud It's called dick doing no awesome That's a coin that logan paul is pushing dink doing. No, he's not just ten It's a crypto meme. It's a meme coin. It's a meme coin called dink doing
Starting point is 00:42:08 It's a coin called dink doing because nothing means nothing no more. I did. I just said meme It's just a meme coin called dink doing cool and that's pretty impressive and that's exciting But I that's not the celebrity coin that we're worked up about this week on cryptos of the town Um, and I actually have the announcement here. Oh, it's boop. It's boop-doop No, it's not boop-doop. It's uh, it's even better. I have the announcement here. Okay. I've actually brought him into the studio What a throw this is you ready? Yeah The Stanley nickel token better known as the nickel token has officially launched on uniswap and pocket swap nickel is an erc 20 token on the ethereum blockchain
Starting point is 00:42:54 Including deflationary and frictionless yield mechanics This means you earn more tokens just by holding and the supply is constantly decreasing Raising the value of the remaining tokens Nickel is a utility token with a charitable basis Rewarding holders with future nfts memorabilia collectibles and addition So none of that it's words So here's the thing about it. You know stanley from the office and how everybody loves stanley. Yeah, you you remember the great known full lander stanley
Starting point is 00:43:30 You know the great episode with shrewtbucks. Yeah, everybody loves us stanley in that episode said I got a stanley nickel And someone saw that and they thought I'm gonna do a real one. I'll do a money on that I'm gonna do a money all about that So the this is uh, the stanley nickel Is leslie david baker's cryptocurrency That he I guess he you could tell from that that he did created himself and he hand coded it obviously And that's stanley from the office's money that he made up from the tv that comedy tv show the office Yeah, but he can buy it
Starting point is 00:44:08 Like and you can buy it And it's just out there. You know what I mean? Yeah, okay Can I tell you my problem with cryptos currency jossum? You have a problem with cryptocurrency that doesn't seem possible. It's all upside man. No, here's here's what it is It's just it's very mechanical and practical, which is they they they invented currency, which is fine That's how currency was invented in the first place but then they also Invented all the words and all of the mechanics to talk about they couldn't at least have started
Starting point is 00:44:36 From a place of vocabulary. I can understand it's friction. It's frictionless. It's frictionless What does that mean? Does that mean I can slide it across a table forever because otherwise I don't know what the fuck it means It's imaginary. They won't actually it's not real. Yeah, it is charitable Some of the profits from this go to the Oh, sorry the action fun, which is cool. He said in there I don't want to really zoom in on one part of this please that proves that it's not made up in fake good I'm in the weeds right now. I I need help
Starting point is 00:45:04 He's the part where he says that it is um It it has yield mechanics Sure, it it's frictionless. It's very yeah, I got all that. I heard all that part You earn more tokens just by holding now and the supply is constantly decreasing so you earn You earn more. Oh, it's by holding it. It's gently is the one Justin and then the supply is decreasing so I don't that actually should make sense to you if you're in this Yeah, you start so there's a hundred circulating, right? And then they kill one person who holds one so now The 99 people remaining have a little bit extra and they just keep killing people one by one until eventually
Starting point is 00:45:50 One person's token is worth a hundred. It's worth all of them And they can go to a subway sandwich restaurant and get a big sandwich For their fake office money. Well, it's six six. It's just the best because so I guess The reason I wanted to do this bit, which I don't think will be recurring is The guy who played stanley on the office Made a cryptocurrency and why haven't we about
Starting point is 00:46:18 A scene he did on the office one time called stanley nickles that you can buy and spend your money on And is deflationary yielding obviously on the ethereum blockchain. I hope of these I believe is only ethereum blockchain and guess what i'm what i'm saying is like Where do we go right from here because The idea that the guy what played stanley would do a cryptocurrency about saline nickels Is a my I feel like there is a lawsuit It's hot on the list of things. They kind of got ahead of us maybe A few episodes in the future. We'll do this bit
Starting point is 00:46:58 And they kind of stole it the idea from us. I would like I have an idea. Justin. I think you're right Everybody would be at dink doink stanley nickels donkey donk Um donkey lips whatever everybody's doing cryptocurrency. Why don't we do? get this classic currency We're going to start printing money And I've been doing I've been doing blacksmithing just and you've been doing woodworking We can make our own coins
Starting point is 00:47:28 And just declare that they are worth money Right, okay. Ooh, can I twist that up a little bit? Yes, please can I twist that up a little bit? Yeah, we print that money, right? But it looks nearly indiscernible from us Tender from us currency dollars and cents And if we get caught and people are like, are you forging money? Nope, then we can say no This is dink doink. This is a classic currency, baby This looks like a fake one hundred dollar bill that you printed on a inkjet printer
Starting point is 00:48:06 That is black and white. Yep, and you say that's how you know, it's dink doink, baby I'm not dink doink 2 This is dink doink 2. I'm not going to jail for you or anybody. Yeah, I'm Guys, I'm trying to hang in here with you. Yeah, I really am trying to hang in here with you but Just as I was about to move on to the next thing Oh, and I should also say a dink doink 2 is uh, it's gold state like it's backed by gold You can turn. Oh sure in anywhere for gold
Starting point is 00:48:33 You gotta do it too. That just as I'm ready to like move on to the next bit I saw that screenshot I sent earlier And I sent you a picture from a real movie About the mask and Danny DeVito penguin and mr. Freeze and agent smith watching don cheeto watch LeBron james and buns bunny play basketball And I don't know it feels like a photoshop The one of our fans made up about one of our great skits, right like what this is the same episode What do we do like what things are outpacing us realities outpacing?
Starting point is 00:49:07 Can I tell you what's bothering me about this picture, Justin? If you look over like if you follow back don cheeto to penguin to maybe alexis Rose, I don't know. I don't want to do jokes about a picture. No one can see yet. We'll post it Oh my god, that is alexis from shits creek Anyway, um, so I'm kind of having a little bit of a crisis about this I don't know what our I don't know what our contribution is to the culture at this point at this point I'm not classic currency So we can kind of
Starting point is 00:49:41 Circle back around and get less weird. Oh, you know what? We'll start back at the beginning, baby trade economy I'll give you one goat. You give me two bushels of grain Charlie travel is just coming charlie. Did you just call that should give you a secret hint to the tone that's approaching We we have never really been a sort of currency focused enterprise I don't know why we need to circle back around earth on the currency front I'm talking like in the currency of ideas the original currency We need to it needs we need to like Get
Starting point is 00:50:19 less weird right like we need to somehow Like become the mcneillair news hour. Oh, you're saying everyone else is getting so weird that it's like maybe the new thing Maybe the new thing that we could do is be like Now we do fresh air Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. Well, we've already got movie reviews.

Starting point is 00:52:16 To space jam a new legacy Now traveston they've been trying to get this one made for quite some time. Is that right some stops and starts? Yes, it's been in the works for uh, about 25 years now And I I think it shows because it really reflects the mentality of the geopolitical culture that existed back in 1996 when it was conceived and I don't think that it accurately reflects the current culture of the time I need to step in here and say At one point in the film an old
Starting point is 00:52:54 Let's say nemesis to civility reared his head and I am talking about austin powers And when he arrived on the scene I started to um throw up because of how Absolutely wild and unexpected. This is a children's film Uh about a rabbit who can dunk a basketball And austin powers his arrival on the scene Talking about his genitals and how much he loves to

Starting point is 00:54:38 the I didn't appreciate when Austin powers appeared in the screen my children Obviously have no friend with preference for him any of his antics and they of course asked me Who he was.
