No, thank you We're already tempting fate enough playing Dungeons and or dragons Yeah, then mess with that black magic. Oh my god This is like when my D&D character died all over again just like that chick track Yeah in the far like if you were to make a Biopic of Gary Gygax, do you think you would put in a scene where he's looking at a piece of paper and it says Dungeons or dragons? Yeah, and he's like lucky and he's like well
Starting point is 00:02:27 Hold on a second. He just like erases it. Yeah, they're right and he showed it and what he wrote He should I make a game about Dungeons? question mark dragons and then there was a character like Justin Timberlake in oh, yeah, it's just like don't think cool Dungeons and dragons But then the haters are like how are you gonna fit a dragon inside of a dungeon Gary? It's too small. Yeah, it's a small chamber Gary What I'm saying is that I'm gonna put the dungeon inside the dragon
Starting point is 00:03:03 Well, I don't think that's it either Gary. I think that's my vision for Elden Ring two the Dungeons inside the dragon Yeah, yeah, that's good. This is my show. Yeah, I'm standing. I wanted to bring Standing energy to this episode sometimes I dig deep deep down And I stand up. Yeah, huh? For I used to do hours. You're summon everything within you. I channel all my strength and I stand I used to do this for hours at Best Buy. I should be able to do it for an hour while we record this podcast, right? I'm at work. I'm at work
Starting point is 00:03:37 You definitely still have the same the same springy dewy body that you had in your Best Buy days. Yeah, that's true I was fucking so sexy. You were so ripped up that blue polo I was thinking about this this morning speaking of dewy sexy bodies Who do you guys think you're the what like what do you guys think you're the Ryan Reynolds of? Mmm, because I saw Ryan Reynolds and clearly he's the Ryan Reynolds of movies, right? Yeah, well and selling cell phones. Yeah, and owning soccer teams. I believe did he need to sell the cell phones? No, that's a passion. That's a passion Getting burners in the hands of the miscreants the gym the gym the soccer team the movies
Starting point is 00:04:19 That's his day job, right? Yeah selling cell phones. That's yeah that you can try he's Yeah, he's the right Reynolds of selling cell phones. The Lord came to him in a dream and said Ryan You must sell cell phones that when people drop them in the toilet. They go. Oh, well, that's fine. I'll get another That's fine What am I the Ryan Reynolds of yeah, I Mean is this about physical appearance? Like Like if you were saying well, you know like Ryan Reynolds from movies
Starting point is 00:04:52 Well, I'm like the Ryan Reynolds of blank. You know what I mean? What am I saying? Can I say movies? You're the Ryan Reynolds of movies? Well, I guess if he's gonna take Ryan Reynolds of cell phones you could be the Ryan You as we realize this week or as I realize this week you did perform in an Oscar-nominated film You're basically an Oscar-nominated Film performer for you. That's true hidden cameo in a it's not really hidden I mean, I am in the the credits of the film. That's yeah, no if you want to say hidden Justin and I have a hidden cameo where robots took our jobs
Starting point is 00:05:31 ironically Ironically in the movie Mitchells versus the machines Robots took our jobs and you know, you know, I'm rooting for in Kansas I want Linda get that you got So huge for him because you know, he's just like he's tortured Until he gets that. Oh, but me like I could get the I could just have an aw You know what I mean? If Mitchells wins the machines wins the Oscar for best animated picture I think they do have to send me one because I did do a voice in it
Starting point is 00:05:59 And yeah, who knows that could have been the the lynch pin keeping the whole thing together They should they should give out Oscar sized to like the Contribute so Griffin would get a little teeth to anyone because he had like an off-screen cameo ring, right? Okay, I don't know why you had to tear me down Because of robots. Oh, that's right. Robots took our jobs. Robots took our jobs. It's weird that robot didn't take my job though Do we tell do we tell that start we could probably tell the story now We there is let's preface it by saying there is no animosity from us Sounds like there's a little bit
Starting point is 00:06:35 Fucking fun. No, it is towards you But so we recorded some voices for Mitchells versus machines. This is something that happens, you know, but you Especially with voiceover stuff You don't know if you're actually gonna be like in it until cuz it's easy to swap you out with stuff So they wanted us to do voices for these appliances Uh-huh and the initial thing that they had wanted to do was have like a computer generated voices Right. That was like AI or whatever, but I guess the voice technology was trademarked or whatever Yeah, those are the parts that we are gonna do and then they managed to clear the AI voices
Starting point is 00:07:10 Uh-huh like the artificially generated voices and they use those quite literally Literally, yeah, our jobs were we were supposed to be Immune to jobs taking our machines. That is exactly what happened to us Yeah, and what and it's delicious because that is if you've seen the film Pretty much the plot of the thing. Yeah part of the thing. We're living it. You lived it macaroos versus the machine Then you're right and the machines win But Griffin I will cut my Oscar to three pieces that we can assemble shrine of the silver monkey No, this is a task. I've seen this. This is a Solomon thing. No, let Griffin keep the Oscar now Griffin
Starting point is 00:07:49 I don't want to put you on the spot, but do you think you could recreate? Yeah, sure sure Yeah, sure Today, I'll be playing the voice of freezer Freeze so there's no that but you did have a line in it. That's that's pretty much it You were no, you're the guy in the hallway in the dorm. No, I didn't get that didn't get that part I think I don't think maybe I did who knows but all I know is that I am going to melt the Oscar down and turn it into money I was there fall like I can reiterate there. Yeah
Starting point is 00:08:29 It's a great movie and we were really excited to especially especially from me because I would got I didn't get it We're I'm trying to be gracious about this and Griffin is making it so child No, no, you're being gracious to them and I'm being super gracious to them because they kept This is how gracious I am they sent out like casting crew gifts and I still have one. I have it on display Yeah, I didn't shatter mine with a ball peen hammer Definitely I Have those now. I do it. Can I jump back to the wisdom of Solomon real quick? Yeah, touch on it. Is that's where that's what this country's. Yes. Yeah, that's what this country's we're missing
Starting point is 00:09:06 Let's all take it back to the wisdom of Solomon. Thank you Travis. Is it even is it fucked up?

There's plenty of time for this boss A lot of people like to talk about Solomon's great wisdom because he was like let's cut a baby in half
Starting point is 00:10:55 JK you win how to baby but I have but I bet you he also had some real stinkers of rulings like oh Man she did she meant straighted on the Lord's day got she's dead Problematic prophylaxis on this biblical character just assuming there's some wax shit in Solomon's closet Yeah, well we all we talked about how it worked out with the baby, but it's never like oh cut the house in half Oh, well, let's cut this will cut that cow and it's tough to try to fucking cut stuff in half Solomon How close did he get was he like I'm gonna do it? Like a paper cutter. That's just like oh I'm gonna get him. I just want both people to be like doing this bare hands like the power team

You didn't want me to but you definitely were gonna let me so I'm giving it to her Why what are you talking about you trying to karate chop the baby?

It's very blue And so I think it's time that we maybe take some time to appreciate a worker fart You don't have to know what it is. It's gonna be like we know your bits. We know what this is gonna be I know but there's a lead into it Griffin. Yeah, you got to let him work his Art to it, man. Sure. There's fart to it. Now Griffin has

It's a fucking same time It's it's hard standing up cuz I I my cords are not wanting to call corporate Yeah, I had a real situation that I had to untangle while recording, but I'm fully dialed into your bit now Travis And I want great. I want you to start out Griffin. Can you? Please fill the list Mary and if I don't want to do that for you. Here's how I'll do it. I'll do it Okay, so here's how it works Travis is going to come up with a punny a punny name
Starting point is 00:14:06 For a work of art that makes it ribbled or blue, but he's not gonna say what it is He's gonna make us say it because that makes us complicit Yes, and he'll lead us there with with a clue and then that were complicit in the thing Cuz we're actually the ones coming up with it and this time I'm gonna change something slightly you got buzz in you got buzz in this Yeah, okay, how do we do that? Just you can say whatever you want buzz. Yeah, well, you don't have to say buzz griffin You know the world's your oyster. Okay a Scientist resurrects a dead masturbator, but who's really the monster buzz Buzz buzz. I did I heard Griffin's buzz first with Justin's buzz most I am going I am going to say Wankenstein
Starting point is 00:14:51 That is correct. Wankenstein. Wow. Wow It was either gonna be that or Frankenstein not the most outside of the box one if I'm being honest, okay? Okay, let's turn it around and it was first. Okay, here it goes Check out the balls on this guy. He's tilting it windmills. Huh? Oh, I got a dang buzz. Yes, Griffin Is it is that dong key hoatee? Uh, no, I'm sorry Justin Wow You want to say it one more time, please check out the balls on this guy. He's tilting it windmills Yes, Justin donky scroty. There it is. Yes. I'll stop it Well done. Okay, it's one and one one and one. Okay a
Starting point is 00:15:34 Famous detective is on the case when a man on a train shits himself to death huh Say it one more time a famous detective is on the case when a man on a train Shits himself to death a piece of that just the tip just got me. Oh, yes, Justin Is it sharder on the oriental? Oh, no, so close. Is it squirter on the morning? No, no, you're both wrong It's turd or on the organic stress This with the with the question that's like on jeopardy when they fuck up the answer and it's okay Sharder doesn't rhyme with a murder and squirter doesn't necessarily
Starting point is 00:16:15 refer to I don't want to get I don't want to I don't this one. I just go on It makes me mad at one and one this is our first It is already so fucking rotten that when the execution is off. Yeah, well, no Hey, no, just cuz you got the question wrong griffin Don't you turn that shit around on me and make don't make this like it's trousers problem Yeah, you said don't key hoady when I clearly said balls in the in the clue You're right and as we all know don't refers pretty much mostly to the shaft
Starting point is 00:16:51 I have a diagram prepared look over here guys. Thank you So just cuz you got it wrong griffin doesn't mean the games I will say if you if someone's ball like old balls popped out of their pants You wouldn't point at the old balls and be like look at that Tom Because that's they're referring to it, you know at the most sort of liberal interpretation the whole kit Right and the caboodle may not just maybe Okay Okay, next
Starting point is 00:17:17 Next bit next. Oh, are you next bit? I thought Travis had another no, I only did three Somebody is going around my apartment complex and stealing all the catalytic converters. How do I protect mine? That's from catalytic chaos in Kentucky came to the right place. It's a problem. Do you want to go ahead? Do your usual thing choose? Just the thing you usually say that it helps these kinds of situations Well, okay. Yes. Yes. Well, I don't know in this case I don't know if putting jelly on it's gonna be a good fix for you. It may catalyze the jelly
Starting point is 00:17:52 They get extremely hot the catalytic converters. Yeah, could you glue it in? Problem, it's yeah, what's keeping it in there anyway. Yeah, it's not really in there good I will say so I've owned a car or two of my day. It's easy to take stuff out of there It's a lot harder to put it back in I found because sometimes I'll take something out and then back Well, where the fuck does that even go because frankly a lot of it is all kind of the same color I've also noticed that and so like if we could color code more of that stuff that would be great That would make it easier for thieves for sure. Yeah, you're not helping you're making it hard. No Oh, but then you paint your catalytic converter a different color. It'll burn the it'll burn the paint on the paint catalyze
Starting point is 00:18:33 Extremely, they get so fucking hot dude. And this can I say about this problem? Yeah, we actually need to solve it pretty quickly because this problem is only going to get worse The with the catalytic converter issue with everything going on. This is just getting it worse So we need to ask when the robot car they love eating. Oh, it's the catalytic reverse got we got Palladium is one of the precious metals that it uses. Yeah And that's like the favorite food robots. No, it's like robots eat palladium I think so too. I think robots do eat palladium. They get stronger if you put jelly on it. Jelly a fucking burn right off No, nothing fix car
Starting point is 00:19:09 They car Travis. Let me tell you bait car this catalytic converter. It's rigged to blow not for well That's now we're talking about killing people because they steal a car part for money. How many catalytic converters? Let me ask you guys. I just want to just say a number don't think about it How many catalytic converters would someone have to steal before? Exploding them with a big car would be the appropriate Proportional none is Travis you're asking at what point is Murderer okay. No, no, that's not what I said. I said blowing them up like what you're it sounds like what you're saying is that exclusive Blowing up doesn't have to be murder
Starting point is 00:19:48 Like the guy who makes the bait Amazon packages that people steal and then it like farts and like you hear like fucking billing vol come out of a speaker like Here's your sign and you're like, yeah, get those fucking people get those the yeah, maybe like a permanent ink Situation you owe your move the catalytic converter. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, yeah, you do purple face I don't enjoy I guess like capital punishment, which is what you're seemed to be like a huge fan of I'm trying to outstrain them with ink Griffin though that is I don't know if it's cruel, but it is unusual I don't think it's cruel or unusual punishment though
Starting point is 00:20:28 So I would say that you know how like it like really fancy stock cars or whatever Like who there's people who will just like pop the steering wheel out making the steering wheel What if you just could do that with your catalytic converter like you just slide on under there and you like push in on it Really hard and it pops and it pops out and you can take it with you to work What about one of those you know in like the 90s where they had those like Diaries where you had to like voice-activate it for kids so that your sneaky little brother couldn't get in there And you had to be like dreamboat in order to like open the thing. Maybe you put a voice-activate What I have no idea you don't remember that
Starting point is 00:21:08 That was like always activated diary. It wasn't a voice-activated diary how lock on it have voice-activated lock on it Yes, that's true. Yes, and you would say like you would say the code word So your sneaky little brother that creep couldn't get in there and read as you were writing about all the people you had crushes on You know, I bet that on your car. I bet I could have cracked your fucking code Travisie. I was duck tails But I mean that was walked up to it and just been like Zamf Zina and then it would have just popped right over revealed all your fucking secrets to me. It was actually Zina Ben zam Apologize. Yeah, thank you Okay, Justin. Are you reading about what catalytic converter still no, I know what they do now
Starting point is 00:21:48 No, I knew before that. Oh did you I was talking about it before the pause Travis Uh-huh cuz you looked it up cuz you looked it up. No, I know because mmm. Okay, doesn't matter That's not funny for me to talk about that. I know this. Hmm. It's not funny You can get a lot for them there if you don't want to be funny Travis there. You can get a lock for it Yeah, we're trying. I thought you said you could get a lot for him and we were gonna talk about like the price You can't get a lot for it. Actually, how much you think wait, okay? Listen, how much you think you give her Carolic converter? Listen, you know, I know that it's kind of like to gesture a place. Oh, yeah, really less than that So I could probably get like a thousand. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hey. Yeah
Starting point is 00:22:29 Hold on a second What if you stole your own catalytic? Oh, they'd never see that coming Hey, then the thief comes along like well fuck somebody already hit this one. Listen, it's not comforting for him to be like What one car cruising around put that bad? Not bad air gravy out. Yeah, it's pure purified by the catalytic converter. Like it's not that big Just one. Yeah, just like a drop in the bucket Do you what that is like cranking out that fog gravy constant? Yeah, that kid in my dorm floor day whenever we wanted to smoke weed just put like a
Starting point is 00:23:06 Put a dryer sheet over your tailpipe You know basically the same thing it's gonna blow some clean cool clean linen smell through there You're fine. I had a friend who called that a wookie tube I don't know if that was you But you would take a paper like a paper towel roll like the cardboard part of it and you would stuff it with dryer sheets Uh-huh, you would rip the bong and then you would put your mouth on that tube And you would breathe out into it and because maybe it's just because he did call it a wookie tube But we would of course like when we breathed out just be like
Starting point is 00:23:37 And we would laugh and laugh and laugh because it was funny and it because it was funny and it was a different time So I wonder if you could do that into a catalytic converter what would come out the other side of it Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe there's somebody stealing your catalytic converter so they can blow their weed smoke through it without getting caught Yeah, think about that. Maybe they need it more than you Thank you. Yes. Here's another question. I recently received a very nice handwritten card from my grandma I actually received a very nice handwritten card from their grandma to you. So they're Oh, she's a grandma loves us too. Thanks for what? Thanks for the good time I yeah, we went and saw a death on the Nile together
Starting point is 00:24:21 We had a great time teasing. I'd love to get out there for that. Oh, yeah, me too She said she was going through some old family pictures and sending them did I mention the baby pictures? Or did you guys start doing your bits before I said I don't know there were baby pictures inside the card? She said she was going through some old family pictures and sending them to the families of who was in the picture Meaning I should have received old pictures of myself. However, these pictures aren't of me. I asked my mom She has no idea who is actually in those pictures, but it sure isn't me brothers What do I do with these pictures? Do I send them back to her and correct her? Yeah? Yeah, that'd be good Right
Starting point is 00:25:01 Kick of the door your house is rubbing in her face wrong wrong Hey, dude You blew it Blue it do it wrong now eat them eat the pictures grandma wrong Do I send them back obviously not or just should I just try to track down who is in these pictures or is it a lost cause? I mean cool. There's no reason. Why are these like pictures chained to their physical form? It's time to set them free. Yeah, get them up on on on the internet Just be like they don't put them on Facebook though. That'll be too easy
Starting point is 00:25:39 Yeah, you need to put them on like ancestry.com or something just be like hey got some new pics New pics who this what do you think ancestry.com does because they do not they definitely don't have You know how they cross specialist Recognition baby. No, I'm saying you put them up on the family tree But just put them on like the miscellaneous branch and let people come come and claim them It's like a little squirrel on the family tree is this weird, baby I'm more like a What more like
Starting point is 00:26:11 Yeah, hey my family tree's got a few nuts on it Yeah Like testicles Listen, I've been listening to encyclopedia brown books with with Charlie. Yeah school. Yeah wake up her mind Yeah, it's a mystery and the burns in that book that bugs me those are so fucking red I cannot even process how bad this is at what like the one we listen to this morning bug Encyclopedia, but what bugs do what bugs do listen. Okay, trying to but bugs is like if secondary bands like Hey, I know you ate these kids cherries and I give them back or give them some money for them and bugs is like
Starting point is 00:26:57 You better stay away from a candy factory because they're looking for nuts like you Killed it Dude, we don't say shit like that. Hey, pick up your face in psychopedia. He just melted it right off to punching Yes, stick to punching because you could really hurt somebody's feelings by Man, I'm like Encyclopedia Brown is so lucky that Sally's around. Yeah, or cuz fucking bugs would just murder him walk all over him Yeah, I I came up with a great idea to do an adult encyclopedia Brown Then I realized that John Hodgman they've reasted that with their hit series dick town
Starting point is 00:27:31 Yeah, well also the the Adam Brody movie boy detective and also brick. Yeah, I think about it Yeah, and Sherlock Holmes Did you guys know that house is an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes fuck man? Thank you.

It's like Fully fully honest transparency listen listen Griffin. He's about to many never watch fully fully transparent No, it's not that I haven't watched it. It's I really have I have so I don't have any interest in talking about this subject
Starting point is 00:28:16 And I was wondering if I could be If you guys are about to go on a run and sometimes I feel that energy building I was wondering if I could be may I please be excused from the Everyone gets one you want to use yours now Griffin.

Well, you just peed right before recording, but maybe you could use me to get away from here Use me Griffin to get away from here
Starting point is 00:28:54 Oh, it's Wilson instead of Watts. Yeah. Oh, that's how they get that's how they try to get around the yeah non-existent They don't like that the Sherlock Holmes estate I'm Doug Holmes and I heard that you were making a thing about my great-great-granddaddy Got himself is entered into the public domain, but many of the stories and elements Oh But they're they're intense about it, they're like don't make Sherlock nice. He's a weird dick You got to make him a butthole. No, they're again that the character is in the public domain So you could do it could be like Sherlock Holmes in the mystery of the perfect Beach body
