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?
Precious friendship
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
It's better it's better
Hello and welcome
My brother my brother and me and advice show for the modern era. I
Am your oldest brother Justin McElroy, and I am Archduke Travis McElroy Lord of the Manor
And I'm
Griffin
What's that? That's fancy, man. That's fancy man. Oh, God. Oh, you know what we need
This is a fucking fancy take flight. We need to hire a Herald for the year to announce us for us
Yes, I've advocated for this a long time on the show. Yeah
Get yourself a personal Herald, and I think that this is the time for it
In old-timey art and stuff when they did show like a Herald or town crier
Yeah, I always thought that my man had a horn, but I do believe it was some sort of proto
Vuvuzela
Like some you know what I mean cuz I was coming whip it over his head and be like check out the prince
Or something or well no if the prince is already there than the town Herald
Suck shit at his job. You got to let you got to give me fair warning so I can get my kids dressed up
And in their finery and get them outside to greet the prince and all that stuff
But I'm just saying if he came out in the middle of town was like
That was a that good Vuvuzela sound. I would stop what I was doing chopping chopping lumber. Yeah
Siding potatoes
Rye and yeah, exactly. Can I say such a fucking good like
17th century agrarian like yeah, I mean you have the Constitution for it
You got the build you have the sinew the sinew the muscle the musculature if I would be so bold of the iron stomach
They can eat basically uncooked meat. It would be so dope. I think I'd be really good at collecting
Barley's to get to kick to give to the king and the satisfaction
I would get out of that my family wouldn't have any of the barley that but I would know like mm. I bet the kings eating good today
Yeah, I would love that actually probably not make it through the week
Griffin if you're ever if you ever see a portal. Yeah, step through and you look around you don't see any cars
Yeah, you should just start funeral planning. Yeah
Come back through the portal if you can come back to the world we can but if not like start your funeral plan
They don't have a modium back then. Yeah, and like that would be my number one concern
They don't have like white noise machines
I would love it if Griffin was the one who got sucked through the portal and hello for the magic tavern
the portal behind the Burger King
It because it would literally just be like an afternoon of him like tripping over a log falling into a sharp rock
There's a chance that like the denizens of this world would see him and be like look at that pasty skin and his noodley arms
He must be royalty. Yeah, that's maybe that young that young wafers never worked a day in his life
I'm also gonna be smirched by consumption. I
Have a 21st century immune system. They have nothing that could take me down. That's the first thing second thing
Even if I did get sort of diary is so bad that it sort of became my
Sort of defining characteristic if I knew that I was as long as I'm getting that barley to my great king
Yeah, and I knew that like he was
Stuffed to the gills with this good stuff and I think I could I think I would be okay with it
Now here's what I will say driven if you were able to survive
The everything I could see you being the wise barley farmer that delivers the barley in such a way that the king is like
I'm gonna elevate you like you you not only deliver the body like he wouldn't he'd be like that Barley's my fucking life
Yeah, I live for this but the other I would elevate you
But then I'm worried that that would affect the barley supply chain and so yeah, I want you to know
Yes, that in my heart. I've elevated you but also if you don't deliver this fucking barley on a regular schedule
I'll have your literal head parent heart and left Griffin with the worst barley collecting equipment just to sabotage him
It was but then girls was able to do it. He tied two donkeys together and they got all the barley
I'm just saying when all the other serfs begin their uprising
Yeah, like why does the king keep king keep taking literally a hundred percent of our barley?
Come on Griffin. Let's fucking ride. I would be like
Y'all go y'all go on ahead. I will I will definitely catch up on this uprising
Catch me on the next uprising for sure. I just got a place a quick phone call to
Miley's
This is this is a good point griffin cuz it's just occurred to me that like in that way
I actually think you might survive better
Yeah
I think if I went back to the portal and the other serfs are like the king keeps taking all of our barley
I'd be like yeah, there's barley any left for us. They would just murder me
I think yeah, they'd be like hey
We're real sick of whatever this thing is that you're doing where some words sound like other words
So we're gonna just go ahead and kill you and there's yeah, sir
Forensics or cops or anything amazing bifurcation of the timeline if the first person to do a pun
Yeah, everyone's like kill him kill the witch
Yeah, but join him and then there's no puns only the devil could figure out that some words sound like other words
It's fine though
Cuz if at any point if other denizens of the fiefdom ever did get peo'd at me
I just pull out my cell phone and be like y'all should not actually but check out my fucking light rectangle idiots now step back
Let me harvest my barley and give it to my dad. I mean the king. Oops
Did I do that? Oh, but so oh man, it's embarrassing me
So this is an advice show
Well, you're gonna take your questions that you asked us and we're gonna turn them alchemy like into wisdom I
Have a slight fever and I'm but I'm not this isn't a question
I know sometimes I would free Justin slips into a question and it's hard to tell like is that Justin is that question?
This is just it. That's your internal
Joke combustion engine. I don't want people to be like everyone's looking for us to slip even for a second
I mean they all coming for the crown everyone's coming for the crown
They're waiting for us not me to have not Griffin Griffin respects the leash
I think who's got the crown on now is great and I will I will definitely send them all of my all my crop this year. I
Work it. Oh, sorry. I'm this is the first question. Give me that first question, Justin
How can I be more like captain Jack Sparrow? That's from Maritime, Massachusetts
Waiting for an answer
Can I ask why you why this is something? Yeah, well, it's so rare that a question comes along but I'm like
Oh, that's not what we're asking at your internal machinations. We've given up on a long time ago
Oh, great
Griffin I are asking I think I don't want to put words in your mouth there griff
But why would you want to be more like Captain Jack Sparrow? Well, that's you're not putting words in my mouth
You're taking the words from my mouth because those are the words that escaped my mouth. Just just
Captain Jack Sparrow is a lovable rogue. Okay, well and and one of the greatest pirates that one guy's ever seen and
He's super clever. He gets out of scrapes
He is a real out of the out of the box problem solver
And you know, he has his own ship. He makes his own rules
Yeah, he seems more or less like a pretty cool dude to me you guys
Let me just for just for folks who maybe haven't seen these films. I'll
I'll summarize them real quick. Yeah, there's Captain Jack Sparrow. There's his dad Barbosa who's also a
Yeah, there's Barbacoa. There's squid face monster captain and then there's
Like
Stuck up naval general guy sure and they all take turns sort of trading sides
So but at every point throughout the 19 films that was made in this series
They just did different match-ups like in this one Captain Jack Sparrow and squid face are teaming up against good guy and Barboka
And then they'll switch the next switch at this time
It's Captain Jack and and and Barboka and the good general against squid man
And I think that's the 7th or 8th one, you know, it's kind of like grassland in that way
Yeah, he is very much so formed in W.O. It was
It was fucked up in that one movie where they all were the good guy and they just kind of sailed around for a while
Nothing really happened. Yeah, what if none of us are the bad guy? What if we just want different things?
That's okay. What if all of our motivations are different and our life goals just don't like line up
But we can learn to see each other's perspective. Yeah
And then there was the one movie that was it was just Captain Jack Sparrow and all the other captains were gone and
Everybody in the movie theater kept yelling like this
This means more captains. Oh
Also Orlando blooms becomes a captain and at the end of one of us
So there's five captains all started just switching around. I think he becomes undead. Yeah, if I remember Craigie
He's a really cool flicks
But he does take time Orlando Bloom does take time to get Kiera nightly pregnant before
He then goes away for I believe 10 years at a time if I'm not missing it
Before he turns into a bone skeleton and he doesn't have any more
I can't talk about Jack Sparrow without relating the anecdote of the freest man I ever met
well, I was in a murder mystery and
We I used to do these murder mysteries that
Really would castle all the time beautiful place. Yeah, they don't do anymore
Mr. Denim they used to run them retired
But at the end of the day or the end of the weekend once the murders have been solved and the corpse was cold piled
Everybody would burnt everybody would stand up and like introduce themselves
Yeah, and there was a guy at one who was dressed like Jack Sparrow and I'd clocked this dude before Captain Jack Sparrow
Well, we're on land so he didn't have the
Captain sir Captain Jack and he was like I'd clocked this guy before in this exact same Captain Jack
Cuz it was like a pretty good Captain Jack. Yeah, and he said I
Realized something this weekend. I used to think
That when I came here and I got dressed up like this. I was putting on costume
But what I realized is
This is me and what I'm wearing out there. That's the costume. Fuck. Yeah, dude. Yes, dude. Fuck. Yes, live it
I'm just saying if they need a new kept Jack. He's in yeah, I probably still Ravenwood castle
That's so much like that. How can you be more like him? Yeah, we didn't even attempt it
We just talked about him for a while. Hey, wait. No no just if that's how can you look like I mean just like how can I be?
Oh, you say be more like Jonathan Sparrow
That's his real name. Of course Jonathan. So fucking dirty. Yeah, I couldn't I could not do that
That life cuz he's so he's so dirty
He's not even just like I haven't taken a shower or bath in a while dirty like he's done things
Yeah to become
Like more dirty
It's a vibe it's a vibe he is doing of just like can I be the dirtiest rascal?
He's a dirty rascal. I think that that is rule number one be a dirty rascal
I think rule number two if you accomplish something in it like seems more difficult than it really was say it was turtles
That's a good one. That's a good one. Say it was turtles
They did that one. It was every time every time he was like sea turtles and they're like, oh fuck this dude rules
I'll turn to Wikipedia. It begins the characterization section with according to screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry
Rocio Sparrow is a trickster who uses wit and to see our Latino
Are we stirring up the pot?
Is a trickster who uses wit and deceit to attain his goals. You're referring to indisputed verbally instead of force
Walks with a slightly drunken swagger and has slurred speech and flailing hand gestures. Yes, Sparrow is shrewd
calculating and eccentric
So that the slightly drunken swagger I think is attainable right now. Yeah, that's attainable today
You don't even got to be drunk to do that man. Yeah, you just get a little little swag
Also, he's a he's a very good swordsman. I just want it not the best in the movie. You can find though of like all the
Character traits to try to embody like I don't think you need that one. Well, I'm not at first
Isn't it fucked up that on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride they did add Captain Jack to it, but they and he looks like
Pretty pretty photorealistic. I would say yeah, that's actually Johnny Dabb every time
But the other animatrons in that ride still kind of look like a sort of ghoulish
Comediadelle Arte
Masks of fear. Yeah, but then like you turn a corner and there's
Photorealistic Captain Jack Sparrow. Yeah, you have to get me out of here. Yes. Yeah, take me to the Hall of Presidents
That would be great by the way, hey Disney if you're listening just starting for raining Jack Sparrow into other animatronic things too
like the bear jamboree and
Hall of Presidents anywhere there animatronics just have like sneaky Jack Sparrow peeking out from like behind things and like out of barrels and shit
Yeah
There's a quote on here, too
I just wanted to pass along it says
Gentleman Malady
You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow and that is that's the quote that's sourced to
Jack almost escapes another sticky situation. Wow. Yeah, that is something that I have tried in my day-to-day life
If I go to the post office and there's a big line and I'm about to wait in the line and then I'm like, no
I'm not gonna wait in the line. I'll loudly announce
Gentleman Malady. Yeah, I'll always remember this is the day you almost caught Captain Justin McElroy
And they're like, were we catching what what was that?
I'll say better luck next time and then you'll swing out on a rope never let me down
Now here's the way that rope is attached to nothing
Justin is just always holding a rope and a saber and if he sees the situation he wants to get out of he swings the saber and
Just yells Huzzah and then kind of walks out holding the rope up like you're swinging on it
Which is not don't get me wrong. It's a cool move. It works every time it plays
Anyway, that was a lot of talk about Pirates of the Caribbean Travis. You're welcome. That was
Just once a year. I need it
And listen, I realize I kind of called that in really early this year and I'm gonna be fucking regretting that
I'd give anything to talk about it. I get it. I get it, but I needed it
Can we push a wizard's throne and make a sweet offering? I brought barley
Okay, you what I brought barley. Oh
Yeah, the wizard did you forgot your own fucking thing from like he's allergic Travis
I didn't forget it the wizards allergic to grains. Well, this is actually this is nut-based barley. Oh
Nut barley, huh? Yeah, I made it from almonds
He's not he does paleo Travis. Fuck know that. Yeah. Hey, it's cool. This is meat nuts. I
Made I made almonds out of beef and then I used those beef almonds
These are these are delicious meat nuts
Okay, so this one was sent in by
Celia, thank you Celia
It's a wiki how article and it's from the wizard
He wrote it and it's how to convince your parents to let you wear a thong. Thank you
Well, let's just say let's just say step zero keep your grades up. Yeah
Obviously, if you're great slip, there's no way that this is gonna happen
Yeah, that's your parents to let you wear a thong may seem like an impossible task with enough preparation and strategy your chance of
Convincing them strengthens convince them with persuasive argument that will leave them confident in your abilities. Ah, yes
They you know, they're gonna rock that shit. That's like that's terrible. That's like to basically say like do a good job
Yeah, yeah, like convince them to like, okay. Yeah wiki how that's why I'm here
Yeah, there's a lot of cognitive dissonance in this wiki article and that's like compared to other wiki how articles
And so that's saying something part one prepare your argument one plan your strategy
Yeah, what do you think I'm doing wiki how? Yeah
It's a combination of appealing to your parents reasonable side and appealing to their emotional side
You want to hit them from both angles to show your argument is thorough. Tell them how important this is to you
So like is it like a slideshow set to say we're guaffelin is that what they're talking about?
So I've got the I've got the details, but also a little tug of the heart strings there. You know what I mean?
I think that's the secret in the thongs of the angels. That was lazy. Okay
When you play
You're not I'm actually listening to you in real time, so I know these are not getting more
There's not more effort going into it
Well, this time I was getting there because the thongs would be in the cracks of the angels. Okay, okay
When you plan your strategy write down how you'll approach them reasonably. What kind of things do your parents react to on a logical level?
What are their weaknesses? Oh
Oh, that's great because then you sit down you're looking at the paper which your dad loves all dads love the paper
Yeah, and you say like oh, did you see this turns out thongs are really good for the economy?
That's great. They were a real Christmas story sort of yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and then explain in really intricate detail
How thongs are undermining cryptocurrency and I bet you're not like that to your dad's age
Oh, they hate crypto
Okay, yeah, they don't understand it Justin do your parents have a song strong sense of pride
Are they quick to avoid fear? These are the kinds of things you should be thinking about that's great
Because if this thong plan goes south you you will be multiple steps closer to knowing how to destroy your parents psychologically
Is there a kid in your class that your parents acknowledges the alpha?
Right because like that my listen my kids coming home every day talk about I don't know Christina Derek
I don't know Jamal somebody right and I'm like what did what did they do today? Huh? Yeah, cool
Oh, that's so cool man. They did what oh their parents bought them the new switch whatever it is, right?
Yeah, and it's like oh yeah, they were a thong and I'm like what they do
Okay, this next part this next part so tight. Let's just get through it
Okay, two know why you want to wear a thong an important part of your strategy is appealing to your parents sense of reason a well-reasoned argument
Includes persuasive justifications for wearing a thong right down five or six logical reasons why you would want to wear a thong
Wow
Yeah, let me dongs thongs don't show panty lines
The main benefit of this is that it avoids attention to your butt surely your parents can get on board with that
I don't want people looking at their babies bottom
No way thongs last longer since there's less fabric to wait they reshape better than regular Ponty's is that true?
If you change shape at all
It is less likely that you will have to buy new Ponty's saving money and then step three thongs keep you cooler in hot temperatures
They are lightweight allowing for better airflow by avoiding sweat in your Ponty's you will also avoid possible skin rashes or blemishes
That's three reasons that I did say five or six right, but also there's no fucking way thongs last longer
There's no way doesn't make sense. They're here. I'm a flimsy and friction fresher
But just like flimsy too, there's less fabric. There's less room for stitching
problems
I mean, I don't think let me tell you I I did I dabbled in speaking debate in high school
You got to have some counterpoints ready like yeah, what are your parents gonna bring up wedgie problems is definitely one of them
Yeah, and this is where you need a counterpoint, right where you're just like yeah, I wear a tight belt oh
Interesting no one's getting in there
It wells well
Samantha if you promise to just wear a tight belt every time you're wearing these things and then every time you come downstairs in a tight belt
Your parents will be like oh how responsible
Step three step three show them you are responsible prove to your parents
You are a responsible person who makes responsible choices doing this will give your argument more credibility
Just put a song on a sack of flour for a while
Carried her out with you come on baby. Yeah
Wow, she's doing a great job keeping those underpants on the
If you have chores or homework do them on time without being asked
Grades up for sure grades up save your money instead of spending it on frivolous things and do not stay out late or come home drunk
Well guys, I went a whole month without coming home drunk. So I think yes, you're ready
You're ready now for those special underwear be prepared to pay for your thong. Yeah, like kidding. The alternative is like not
Not going to work. Look, I'm not like you asked me to now. I need a hundred dollars. I do not do the best thoughts
I don't want to sully myself
Practice your argument in the mirror. Yeah
That's that that's something that would be cool to have somebody walk in on my butt
Think it's so sweaty mom
What are you doing there? Nothing
Approach your parents about the conversation. Yeah
Ask when they seem to be in a good way approach them
Want to start screaming through the walls when they're doing
Hey hypothetically if I were to ask you about thongs just hypothetically
Okay, so part two convincing your parents one bring your notes with you awesome
Fucking awesome. You can hide them in your pocket or another discreet place in your pocket is great because you can be like
I need to wear a thong because
My butt gets sweaty or doesn't get so hold on one sec
It says here my butt does get sweaty
broach the subject
calmly
Try to control the conversation as much as possible the more you're interrupted the easier it will be for you to lose your place and forget
What to say that's it. They just want to flummox you. Yeah, that's that that misdirection is like number one parenting secret
That's why I write out the bet you have to form them call them by their first names. Yeah
Do you uh?
Daddy, I really want this new good. You can't say daddy. You gotta say like Jonathan
Jonathan well, this is what I'm imagining my children coming to me and asking for the new good jitsu toy
And I interrupt and say like but what is a good jitsu?
And then they're like all up in there in there then their mind labyrinth and they just can't escape it
Go through your list of logical reasons the sweat. Did I mention the sweat thing and the panty lines?
They got to go they got to go
Everyone's gonna look at my butt if I don't wear a thong is that what you want fucking weirdo nasty
You're nasty for that nasty dad a nasty mom appeal to their emotions this one
I feel like you've given us a lot of ammunition for the logical stuff. Yeah, I don't know what that what we're pulling on
Heart-string wise
Remind them that you're growing up old enough to make decisions about how to adorn your own body
Yeah, I mean that's pretty foolproofed mom dad. I'm 32. Let me wear a thong
Invite questions well
I
Jonathan Alicia
Just concludes my presentation. Thank you for your time today. I really appreciate your attention
There will be coffee and some snacks on your way out
Let's take some questions for oh wait. Oh, I'm getting the light
I've I'm sorry that concludes my time. Stay tuned for the next Ted talk about
Macrobiology or whatever
Give them some time to talk it over or think about it. No, you can't have a thong
Well, hold up your circle back tomorrow think about what I think what does Alicia think?
What does Alicia think Alicia? You guys do not seem on the same page about you know Jonathan
You never take time to ask Alicia what she thinks
We'll go get some wine Alicia we don't need Jonathan for this
Start part three reacting to the response be prepared for any response. Okay
Prepare yourself for the possibility. They will say no or drive the discussion out
It's a good idea to come up with possible solutions to those scenarios. Even if they do not happen you press the button and
Jail cell bars drop over every exit from the kitchen. Yeah anywhere. I had these jail bars installed
Until we're done here until I'm done with you
react calmly
If they respond with an immediate no don't storm off in a huff or raise your voice. Let me wear a thong. No
Okay
Cool if you feel yourself getting upset breathe check to see if your body is tensing up and relax your body
If none of that works and everyone's still glaring at each other tell a joke humor's a great way to defuse a tense situation
That's awesome. I just play this play Cisco's thong song at maximum volume on every smart device in the house Alexa
This this one seems like actually a very good strategy ask them why they say no
Like I want to wear a thong that's everything in your life, huh? Yeah speak on that speak on that, please
Do you think that this is something is this because your parents had no to you for something Jonathan?
Jonathan are you just projecting forth your?
Your fear of would not being or responsible enough for a thong. I understand that I understand that you've forgotten
What it's like to want things Jonathan
Thongs Jonathan and that's that's partially my fault since I since I was was born and I understand that that's a sacrifice parents have to make but
Don't you don't have to force that on me. Did I mention the sweat?
But why do you want my butt to sweat dad damn?
If your parents won't budge off of them a compromise, maybe you can suggest revisiting the topic after you show more
Responsibility that's probably gonna do it. It's because I didn't mop enough
All right, mom dad compromise I'll wear the thong over regular underpants
Yeah
Finally step five drop the subject if all else fails accept your fate and walk away to not continue to beg or harass your parents doing that
Will only diminish any chance at convincing them later and it will put them in a bad mood walking away from the argument with grace allows you to keep your parents respect, huh?
Seems like you very lost your parents respect because I don't respect enough to let you wear the thong you crave. Yeah
I
Think also, I'll add a step six on this wiki article. I don't think you're allowed to just I don't think these are up for community edits
But you could also just do it. Yeah, and what are they going to do?
You know what I mean? You'll have to wash them yourself to not get to if you really want to cloak the situation
But like they're not gonna be like mmm
Samantha can't help but notice there's not as many panty lines this morning because that's a fucking wild thing to say over the over the in the
breakfast nook I
Think that I think that these are foolproof ideas
I will also say if if your parents say no instead of just walking away and accepting your fate
Let me offer this so they like okay. I hear you. Let's revisit this in Q3
And that's circle back in Q3. I think that that's gonna like knock them off
They're groove a little bit. Yeah, so that when you bring up in Q3
They're like I think they're a business person sometimes my kids drop something and that would be the exact moment to attack like if they just like
Dropped it like yeah, all right. I would be so sort of like I wouldn't need to sit down on the floor for a little bit
Yeah, and that's the time where you like if you change your mind. Let me know. Yeah
Show me the exact date on this calendar where I'm gonna be a lot of way
The thing is Q2 Q2 is the summertime and so my butt is gonna be
Just just covered with rashes and irritation because of my stupid big underwear
Yeah, to be fair Griffin that depends on your family's fiscal year starts, right? That's a fair point
I mean if anything just a week after you do this conversation if it fails you sit down in the breakfast nook, and you go
Sorry guys
Hovered in rashes
Chaka block rashes down there. Wow, it's irritated. Oh
man
The kids in school they keep yelling at me every time I yell every time I sit down at the classroom desk or lunch table
Yeah, and they're like is it your visible panty lines that are doing you rashes sweaty butt?
Oh, are you wearing a teenage diaper?
Oh, that hurts
Barber
Diapers
Let's take a break and we got all number of the mice in we guess think about that
Hey, can I tell you guys something absolutely wild y'all home I tweeted
Lou wherever you are. We need mamba number six now more than ever and
Linda Carter aka Wonder Woman
Retweeted it quote treated it and said sounds like a fun job for the Justice League
What what the fuck does that?
How would you say why would you say this when we're going into the money zone?
We can talk about when we come back. No, I mean, I think we're in it now. I think you've started it
Yeah, we can't do the ads now because we have to talk about why Linda Carter thinks a good job for the Justice League would be to
Find Lou Baker make him dream of a number. I mean a big thing is why this ended up on on
Linda Carter's plate in the first place Linda Carter does not follow me on Twitter. No, yeah
but there's obviously some degree of
Separation there where like somebody retweeted it and then Linda Carter saw that
And was like, I don't know who this fucking Travis nobody is but he's got some dope thoughts about Lou Vega
But what about instead of Lou Vega? You talk about me
What if they said like the de-string Justice League to go find Lou Vega that actually would be a fun idea
Go find Lou Vega. Yeah wonder twins and some of the other bad ones that nobody likes red tornado, maybe I think that
The amount of you're you're not thinking I think logically about this because there's still so there is
Uncalculable power that exists in the the the Dead Sea mumbo scrolls the mumbo apocrypha of one through four
I think that if we got our hands on that that
Quadrility it would be enough to tide us over for the next few centuries Lou
You have to do mama number six Clark. I told you I I can't return to that life
I I don't know that I'm there's no able to wield the power responsibly. There's no more woman names
I use them all in five
I dumped in too much trumpet. Don't you understand?
It was too much
He would there would be a break in mama number six would be like even more trumpet, and it would just be eight
Discordant trumpets just all the moon would shatter. Yeah, I knew it
The horseman on the mama number five maxi single there are four tracks
I'm betting it was a kasingle right it would have to be yeah
Mama number five radio edit mama number five extended makes
Mamba Havana Club mix. Yeah, Mamba
The trumpet and that one is six minutes long. Oh god
I don't know if it's just like hey here's something you could sample. It's the trumpet
Mm-hmm, but it's just him saying the trumpet in a bunch of different ways for six minutes

Yeah, that's so beautiful, man
I love that. I'm the only one that's not sick right now and y'all are making fun of my
Medieval immune system. So I mean, I'm sick and I was still doing like freeway exercises. So oh
I do those every day anyway. Oh, yeah. Yeah, what are you? What are you benching?

Yeah, background muscle is what they call it
It's been so long
Really, I really didn't think Justin would do this because he was sick and like
I think that kind of shows a little bit
Squad
I want a munch
Boy boy boy boy. Yeah, baby. Yeah, I welcome my squad. Oh, thank you. It's good to be here within a pot. Shut up
Oh
Podcasts than a podcast which profiles the latest and greatest in brand-eating
rather than set up today's thing with
You know a
spiel I
Wanted to play the commercial for it first great and then talk about it. Is that okay?
Now I warn you
This is two minutes and 20 seconds long. Oh, man. Wow, okay
But listen, you're gonna be in such a fucking tizzy when you hear what this is this ad from the year of our Lord 2020
See 22 22. Yeah, you're gonna trip. You ready?
Are you ready? Yes
Love only please me
Great
But with some range, go!
Oh, back single!
Oh, now you don't want to ask too many questions
But it's a guy on the buffalo wing
Got on the buffalo wing
One day the guy on the buffalo wing
Saw a fox in the weeds
He's thinking that fox seems shady
No, he's probably harmless enough
I'll just let him go
And then he found a hedgehog
Jammed out in a log and pulled him out
And they became best friends
They went back to the buffalo wing
To snack down those ex-bees
But the food was gone
The snicking fox stole our meals
Oh, but you know what?
I got an idea, says the hedgehog
I got something stashed in an old stove
Ooh, what the fuck?
It's a buffalo garlic-based meal
That's what I was just eating
It's tantalizing, let's sit down and eat it
Mmm, that's pretty good
Guy on the buffalo wing
Well, if it isn't the chicken wing piece
Sorry, man, I'm a fox
It's kind of my thing, truce?
Come here, man, we're cool
Oh, it's a guy on the buffalo wing
Hey, uh, guy, I don't remember it happening like that
Yeah, I don't either
Every time he eats ex-bees, that's all he wants to talk about
Yeah, I saw the original and it was definitely a buffalo
You were riding not a buffalo wing
And then it's the...
And then it's the original old guy from Guy on the Buffalo
I can't believe
Can you believe
That bones are their money
There's been...
Justin, I don't...
Go on, Chris
I don't think...
I've been dealing with this, now you gotta deal with it
Well, I'm mostly dealing with the fact that it...
Now it's on our show, now it's on our show
So now it's on other problems
There's no fucking way
That...
I would say more than 30% of our audience understands the reference
That's...
Wait, there's a reference?
Travis?
I'm not fucking with you at all, I have no idea what this was
Okay, stop the show
Okay
This is what I'm saying, Justin
Okay, Griffin, your math was right
I got a 30%
I guess 66.6% repeating
But that's not a good hit rate, I think
Okay, so back in 2011
There was a series of YouTube videos
Called Guy on a Buffalo
That took clips from an old show from the 70s
I think called Buffalo Jones
Of just a guy riding around on a buffalo
And mainly just fighting off animals
That try to get at him
But now Zaxby's has taken that 11 year old meme
And, well, you know
I don't know, Justin got fucking berries and cream started again
So I guess anything's possible
I guess anything is definitely possible
Damn, Zaxby's, that's a deep fucking cut
It's like 30% of our audience
And approximately 0.03% of the TV watching audience
Yeah
So Zaxby's launched an ad campaign
To introduce its Buffalo garlic blaze signature sauce
The new campaign features the quirky
Guy on a buffalo wing national spot
Which premiered during Monday's college football playoff
And will run during the big game
On February 13th
Oh, they're still doing that?
Yeah, they're still going for it
The pandemic numbers are so bad
Are you sure they're not gonna cancel it?
They're definitely gonna cancel it
They're gonna zoom
Now I'm tackling you
Oh my god, can I just say
A bunch of iPads on robotic bases
Fucking watch the shit out of that
Sounds better than football, no concussions
It's just a bunch of tricked out robots
You do have to be careful dumping the Gatorade
Because you're gonna ruin a lot of technology that way
Yeah, tens of thousands of dollars
All these segues are ruined
It's just
It's not
It's just wild, y'all
It would be like if fucking
I don't know, Cheerios were like
All your Cheerios are belong to us
The new Guy on a Buffalo wing commercial
Follows a lone cowboy
Writing a Zaxby style Buffalo wing
Who discovers a boneless wings meal from Zaxby's
That features the new Buffalo garlic blaze sauce
The spot is narrated to a folk song
I'm not sure that's not how that works
Grammatically, composed by the band
Jomo and the Possum Posse
Featuring quirky characters such as the Bobcat
The Squirrel, the Fox, and the Hedgehog
Why are you describing it like this?
I mean, that's what it is, Travis
I know, but it's not like
It's just saying the parts of it
Without explaining it at all
It's just like, yeah, this is what happens in it
Why? Why is that what happens in it?
He says, with, um, Duly Tombras
The president at Zaxby's Creative Agency of Record
Tombras says, Guy on a Buffalo wing
Is impossible to look away from
The kind of campaign that will make diners wonder
What they're missing and have to try it for themselves
Do you guys think that the mindset of
But you're talking about it
Has gone too fucking far
In this year of our Lord of 2022
Where people are like, yeah, but you're talking about it
Like, yeah, but ask me in 10 minutes
What the food was
That I couldn't tell you
But I'll talk about this wild video forever
The last time that worked is when they fucking
Murdered Mr. Peanut
And I was like, I can't look away from that ad
Because my good friend Mr. Peanut has passed away
And I thought about it
No, but even then, made me not want to eat peanuts
Because I felt like I was eating his corpse
Where I'd much rather feel like I was eating
Mr. Peanut over and over again and killing it myself
I would say, Travis, once you see this man
Once you see this man riding a buffalo wing
You will not soon forget what this is about
But there's several shots where he is eating
A plate of boneless garlic wings
Buffalo garlic blaze boneless wings
On a plate that is on top of his
Steed
Which is itself a buffalo
But is it a boneless wing he's riding?
That is up for interpretation
I don't believe so
It looks like it does have a bone in it
It's just, there's so many things
One, the big buffalo wing does look like
I would fuck that up in a major way
Yeah, but then you wouldn't have anything to ride on
But I wouldn't want to sit a stride a buffalo wing
In the first place because some of my top five places
That I don't want to get buffalo sauce on
The googer is way up
Especially if you've been riding that saddle all day
And you're getting a little chafed
Because your parents wouldn't let you buy a thong
And then you're sitting there
And it's just seeping through your slacks
Forget about it, my man
Forget about it, dude
I don't want a spicy googer
In the middle of the forest
Where am I gonna go?
What am I gonna do about it?
Don't get me started on ants
If this kicks off a trend of doing parodies of ancient
Like ancient, ancient memes
I would actually be super into that
I would actually like that quite a bit
You can have any meal you want
At Combo.com
Oh, that's good
Yeah
They could be like burger, burger, burger, burger
Mushroom, mushroom!
Yeah, that was me, Star Wars kid
But now I'm
My male pattern baldness
Has made me into more of a Star Wars man
Oh, man
Oh, boy
Boy, howdy
All right
All right
So that's much fun
Give me that next question, Justin
You got a button
I work at a hospital
Thank you for your service
And on the patient food trays
They have milk cartons with little jokes
Awesome
One of the jokes
I read one of the jokes to my co-worker
Smiling excitedly
Only for him to nod and politely stare at me
The joke
What happens when a cow doesn't shave?
She grows a moustache
I feel like I'm in a tomb right now
Brothers, was there a problem with my delivery?
Yes
Couldn't matter, unanswerable
Can I show my face again at work after this?
And most importantly
How do I up my milk based joke game?
That's from Cowardly Comic in Greenville
So I figured with this one
We're three professional top tier comedians
Yeah
And I figured that we could maybe do
I don't know, some punch-ups
Some coaching here
Justin, I do like whether intentional or not
How absolutely flat
And like soulless
You deliver that joke
Yeah
So that we have just solid flat ground to build off of
Okay
Yeah, that was about as worse as anybody could deliver that
If the joke is good
It doesn't need the help
It is a good joke
This is a good joke
Okay, you deliver it in a way that makes me laugh
Hey, Justin
Yeah
Justin
Yeah
Justin
Yeah
What happens when a cow doesn't shave?
What?
She grows a moustache
See, that wasn't funny still and it wasted more of my time
Well, fuck
I would hit it like this
Hey, Juice, why doesn't a cow shave?
I don't know why
It gets a moustache
It sucked still, but it like
Yeah, it sucked
But you're thinking about this as like people who have been free to make jokes
And have fun for the last 45 minutes
You're on break at a hospital where like the weight of responsibility can feel crushing
And now here's a brief moment of respite
Where you're able to goof without feeling like a monster
And you deliver this like banger moustache joke
The joke sucks shit from the ground up
There's no good delivery of it
That's gonna make this person who's dying bust up
And forget about it
You know what I mean?
So you may as well like
I don't want to rob them of the precious life seconds they've got
Hey, why doesn't a cow shave?
It has a moustache
That's two and a half seconds
And then they're able to go do more stuff
I've only seized their attention for like
A really, really minimal amount of time
Is there a punch up you can do to it, Griffin
That like take this joke and make it work
Sure
Let me try
Hey, what happens if a cow doesn't shave?
What?
It gets a fucking moustache, baby
That's pretty good
Oh, you know what I like?
I like the jokes where it seems like a real
So you can start off reading the paper, everybody loves the paper
And you go like, oh, you see this?
You hear about this?
You hear about one of these things?
You hear about one of these?
You hear about this now?
It looks like this cow, ooh, their razor broke
She wasn't able to shave
Oh, yeah, what happened?
She grew a moustache
That's dope
Let me try this
They're bought into it at that point
The cow didn't shave, guess what?
What?
Grew a moustache
Huh
That's a thinker
Yeah, that one is good
That's a good way of doing it, actually
Do you know a cow's favorite disgraced Prime Minister of Italy?
I don't know who
Mussolini
That's good, I like calling Mussolini a disgraced
I think that's kind of underselling it, but sure
Oh, he's so embarrassed
Well, he's not graced
That's for damn sure
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
He's not holding his head up high for a lot of reasons
Yeah, I like that, that's pretty good
Okay, oh, here's a tough one, now it's a riddle
You ready?
Okay
Which of the Mario Brothers is a cow's favorite?
What?
Which of the Mario Brothers is a cow's favorite?
Who's that?
The Mario Brothers, oh, it's two plumber bros
This isn't me, obviously I know who the Mario Brothers is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're friends with Toad
You know Toad's friends
I don't know anything
Toad!
Yeah, I don't know who that is
Fucking Toad dude, look at my tattoo
This isn't me either
This is the person telling the truth
Yeah, of course, of course
I love the person you've invented
Who doesn't know who's Mario or Luigi is
But fucking is just wild about the little pervert Toad
It's on my, look at my, look at my face
I have a Toad tattoo, like in the corner of my eye
Like a teardrop, only it's Toad
I got one for everybody I've killed
Okay
I got six of them
What's the punchline?
Oh, it's, you could say either
Luigi or Murio
They both work
That sucks
That sucks
You somehow wrote a worse joke
What's the cow's favorite former president of the European Central Bank?
There's a lot of politics here, Justin
Murio Joggy
Now, hold on
Well, you did just kind of use Murio again
Yeah, but mine was like, you didn't see, Travis?
Okay, I don't want to be like, whatever, Travis
But you can't have the punchline part in the setup
Okay, where does the cow go to learn about art and history?
The museum
Exactly
That sucks
But you do it different
And I just want to remind the two of you on this call
That we can't just deliver purposefully shitty jokes for 15 minutes
And then say, put it in the can, that one's done
Hey guys, what if we did opposite of jokes today for this show
This is a special episode where we do opposite of jokes
That sucks shit
What's the cow's favorite cereal?
Moosly
Moosly
No, it's fucking grass
It's a cow, you idiot
See, that's got some ADC energy that I really like
Well, so yeah, I was trying to do like edgy
I was doing edgy comedy
Yes
We don't do that enough here
Yes
Yeah
2022, fancy takes flight
20 rendezvous
We're having a rendezvous with some edgy
Challenging, push the envelope doesn't have to be funny kind of comedy
Yeah, edgy
Where if it's not funny to use because there's something wrong with you, not me
I made a solid joke
What about what happens when a cow doesn't shaver too long?
What?
They're
They're bush goes fucking crazy
Oh, I like that
That's a good joke
Okay, that joke is funny
Yeah, that's a great joke because it's like now you're imagining like where does the bush go?
This is true
Like where is the bush at?
Because I think it's all boob down there
I'm not sure
It's mostly boob down there
So where's the bush?
Oh, that's funny to be like where's the beef but it's like where's the bush?
I have one
And that's like a second, that's like a joke on top of the first, that's a joke topping
I got a joke here and it really makes a statement
Yeah, sure
It doesn't kick ass?
Yeah
What happens when a cow doesn't shave?
What?
Society applies their concept of what beauty is to that cow and judges it for growing a moustache
That ain't it chief
Well, so but then it has something to say but I also still got moustache in there
Yeah
Sure
Yeah, okay
This has been an hour, right?
I don't know man
Write better jokes
What happened when the cow didn't shave?
What?
Who fucking gives a shit?
Oh, I like that
It's a cow, don't you have better things to worry about?
Cow don't even shave, dumbass
That's a good one man
Oh, edgy, see you got it in there
Yeah
We gotta do something else
We have to do anything else right now
Okay, I got you, don't worry about it
Is it a fucking shitty cow joke that we can be ironic on?
Um, no
Okay
But is that a problem?
Wait, but is it a problem?
If it's not
Does it need to be that or?
One, two, three, four, five
Mubega
Upside top, come on, let's ride to the builders
Out around the corner, the gang's all here
And it's time for us to do what we wanna
There's a house with a roof that leaks
It's an urgent job and it could take us weeks
There's dizzy, lofty, and rowdy too
Wendy always knows just what to do
That's no job too big or small
With stupid money that we can do it all
Metal, brick, or wood
It's all good and we can always send in the tractor
A little bit of timber behind this hall
A little bit of lipstick behind this hall
A little bit of digging out the rocks
A little bit of moving
What are we listening to?
You have to stop
I did
No, but here's the problem Justin
When you play things through your computer
If we talk it echoes
I know, I love that
You were holding us hostage
That's like Oscar play
Yeah
So you just gotta hear Bob the Builder's take
On Lou Vegas' mambo number five
This is a great idea
I'm assuming the show's over by now
Was that just like a pallet cleanser you were playing?
That was just so good
I found mambo the trumpet
And it was just like six minutes of trumpet
That's not a joke
And then related to that
Was Bob the Builder's take on mambo number five
I thought maybe this is something
So then I played that
But you just played it
Yeah, I don't have anything to say about it
It's existence is funnier than jokes
I was just thinking about how it would be cool
To make a song called mambo number 2,340
And the year is
The year is 32,000
Like Warhammer kinda
Yeah, sure
And it's all, it's so far in the future
And we've continued to have new mambo's
And it's like this is the 2037th mambo
Yeah
That we're writing in the year 32,000
That would be awesome
And it's like filled with jokes about how
The year 32,000 nutrient slurry
That everybody eats doesn't taste very good
Oh yeah, yeah
And it's like listening to the names
And it's like a little bit of beep blop
In my life
A little bit of foofab
In my, and it's just like
Even then people are listening to it going
Those aren't names
It's like yeah I know
But I used to all
I've used all of them
There's no more names
And then somebody's like
Hey guys I found this weird old holo vid
On YouTube
And I just have some questions for you
One, what is a buffalo?
Two, what is a wing?
Three, what is a guy?
Also where can I get this fucking meal
Cause it's working
Can we get a pill?
Get the replicator to make a pill
Of a guy with a buffalo
Also guys what happens when a cow doesn't shave?
What?
It grows a moose stash
Stop the fucking show Justin
Say the shit that you say at the end of every episode
Thanks for listening to our show
We'll feel better next year
And maybe we'll do better
No we did fine
I don't like people thinking they waste it
Cause most people are less on 1.25 anyway
They're just blowing through to see what
How we're gonna be realigning the culture
You know what I mean?
It's less about the humor
And more about just keeping their finger
But if they listen that fast
They're gonna miss all the little Easter eggs
And like wings and stuff
We have planned for the future
And where the story's going
You actually would miss the sheer amount of time
We just let hang in the air
After the first reading of that moose stash joke
Yeah it's true
Go back and listen to that at like 0.75
I'll aspire a little
Thanks so much
Thanks to you for listening
