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 with you

It's better it's better with you It's better it's better with you Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother me an advice show for the Modron era I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy, and I'm Travis the resplendent. I'm Griffin McElroy. Hey guys Can it come any faster can I go to sleep now? Hibernate through the time when this doesn't happen 24th Boke me on the head with a bowling ball in a very specific

Way with a very specific amount of force to make me be asleep until June 24th Let me go to sleep bowling in the clouds only to wake up on June 24th with a long beard Oh, I creak awake. Oh, what's that? My kids are like two and a half months older. That's not that bad But what's that man versus B is out? Huh? It's all worth it. It was all worthwhile because now Our head hurts all the time, and we can't smell no more But man versus B is out and we get to watch it whenever the fuck we want now here's I know what you're wondering What is my son are you allowed to watch it? The answer is as many as you want Well, here's the thing you here's the thing. What is man versus B? Well, first of all, it's a revolution

Second of all is a revelation. It's a revelation. It's it's revelations. It's the first sign of revelations It's Rowan Atkinson. Yeah, he's back and he's fighting a bee in a Netflix get this Series impossible. This is the impossible part of man versus. Thank you. Yes. I agree man versus B Can't be a series can't be a series unless there is a development where it becomes a Like emotional journey of these two battling Emotional journey, you know the tagline prepare for battle Rowan Atkinson man versus B landing 24th of June That's literally all we know. He is holding a spatula and there's it appears to be a kitchen fire Yeah, so I think chaos is part of this. Okay. Yeah, so here's what I need you guys to help me do

Uh-huh man versus B the poster looks like mouse hunt, right? Yes. Oh, yeah, thousand percent in a major way But it's not It's not man versus B the movie. No, man versus be the series. So I need to help me brainstorm Okay, this is a series now every episode the bee gives a food challenge that he has to okay. I like that I like that. That's a that's it's it is scripted though Oh, I love that they say in the tweet that it's scripted as if I they would have the fucking Guts To do an unscripted reality series about Ronette gets into fighting a bee. So thank you for the clarification

What if in fighting the bee he starts becoming a bee himself? Yes, and it's like Three seasons in he's like I am the stinger. Yeah, he's the he becomes the bee man That's Sarah Davis who works with us and it's incredible as to his voicing the bee based off of she does not know if the bee speaks But her assumption and I believe it's correct is that the bee must speak and my assumption and responses I bet the bee if it is voiced is voiced also by Rowan Adkinson at which way what I love about this is it poses a Like the bee is not just like, oh, no, there's a bee in my kitchen. I got to deal with it It is an active antagonist to Rowan Adkinson and everybody else is like me

It's just a bee leave alone then I could see where it's slowly him devolving into wait Am I the man or the bee who have I become what is this moment? We can't we can't We don't work for Netflix. You're right. We don't we are not Rowan Adkinson We cannot possibly Dane to guess at what the plot structure of man versus bee is gonna be But if you ask me who's gonna voice it be I will I would say Gerald Seinfeld because he speaks for the beats now This is an excellent point Griffin because my assumption here is that somewhere a TV

Creator person was watching B movie and getting more and more frustrated and finally they just screened to the heaven But what about the man side of the story, right? Okay, so here's some more I went to the head it on over IMDB to try to get some more details getting them those clicks We have some behind-the-scenes Shots of Rowan Adkinson and the the the the the the the outfit that this man is where the look the stays of this man In the in this in the I'm gonna send hold on I'm gonna send you guys a screenshot if you're at home or you're driving go to IMDB No, don't do it for driving if you're driving. It's no Travis

It's that important. Okay. It's that important pull over to the side of the road wherever you are Just pull over. I'm gonna just stop and put on your hazards Just stop put on your hazards cuz this takes this takes precedence, right? This is more important. Hold on. I Can't wait. Yeah, it's gonna be so fucking good Huh, so I've sent you a screenshot of the of behind-the-scenes and his fucking sees is his shirt in his hat makes it look like he's Making legally mandated door-to-door introductions. Okay. Yeah, this is the first thing The second thing that I could tell you about it is that he is house sitting in a luxurious mansion Who will win and what irreparable with data image will be done in the process and actually I find myself asking that second question

Quite seriously Can I tell you what's wild? Why shouldn't they shouldn't no pun intended bug me But in the promotional photo the image that Netflix is posted. He has a very close haircut a very representative and then I look at this image and I'm like is there a time-lapse The bee and him end up living together and this image comes from let's say 15 years later And they're watching their first child go off to high school Okay, first sorry guys now Griffin. I assumed it would be adopted, but I see what you're saying I just got in first cast reveal. I have four cast members

In the cast currently Jing Lucy plays Nina Lee Biford plays builder Tony McCarthy is playing you guessed it prisoner 1968 huh fuck yeah, that's a sick album from mega death It says Rowan Atkinson unknown episodes. Let's hope it's all I would have a twist episode just be shit That's the twist Justin. He's dead for a step. That's that lost a twist Anything can happen in man versus shit engine. That's that's cool And then man man is his last name He kills the heat bee kills man in the first app and then it becomes a legal case

Man VB where his family is suing the bee. Here's here's what's stressing me out Yeah, stressing me out. Yeah, it talk about irreparable damage. It's gonna be done in the process. I'm standing by the way Yeah, I'm pacing. I'm standing I can tell I hear it irreparable damage done the process to our brand I know as much as we've talked about this now It is gonna be something that people tell us about yeah every step of the way every and you know what in this case good Keep anything you got keep it coming keep it coming. I got it. I'm more about me every sweet Do you think the episodes are like three minutes long and then that's how they make a series out of it Here's the thing guys, I know you're not supposed to do it like the

Liberals tell you not to but you can kill a bee so easy You're so much bigger than they are and as soon as you stop being afraid of the sharp part on them Yeah, you learn that the rest of the parts of them are Will yield beneath your your mighty pond also all things considered bees Is it fine? You know what I mean at a certain point and I haven't seen the movie, but at a certain point I don't know how long I can go before I'm just like just ignore it. Yeah, what's the bee? What could what damage could it be possibly do? Hold on. Sorry. There's somebody there's somebody at my door. That was the weirdest knock. Oh my god

It's me from the future What Justin? It's ten episodes long Wow Wait, that can't be right. I swear to God Now now season one Season one of this epic tale season one. Huh? This is be how is it in? I hope that the first nine episodes are building to the bee and the man encounter each other for the first time Oh, I hope that they have the shear guts to make the man and be not face-off until

Like episode 10 do it right your style where it's taking place in like two Lines and they meet in the middle. That's good sliding doors. I love this get to see I Imagine Rowan Atkinson's backstory and the bee talking about like his greatest opponent, right? How is it 10 episodes Justin How many episodes should it be Justin? Mr. Mr. Hotshot fucking Hollywood producer Okay, how many episodes? Well now it's a mini-series Justin. Yeah, which means we it's got golden globe heat at that point. That's true No, fuck that I'll move I'll move to UK for 10 weeks because I assume they're not gonna dump this all at once

This will be one episode at a time. Yeah, this is appointment view. This is the point you can't dump it all at once This is a structure. They're gonna build this out We'll be there day one we'll be there day one live We're doing a live watch along June 24th get there if we can make it to the premiere fuck man I'll be there. You know what I mean? I can't make they gotta send me screenies. I got oh, yeah Yeah, I gotta have time to process. It's got big sag energy this one You can't expect me to just talk about a day one unpack my feelings. No, I need time Did we say Rowan Atkinson's bad yet? I feel like we could have covered that up top. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah

So anyway, um if we hey, here's a safe assumption if we do a watch or something There's probably at least one person in there. We don't like yeah, right This one there's just the one person so far the bee might be a piece of shit. Yeah, that's true I don't know about this bee. I don't know what this bee is doing. I don't know. Oh Boy, oh boy, but if they call me right now and said hey, would you voice the beat? I consider it. I see what the offer is How's it ten how is it ten though? I'm hoping that maybe this is one of those like early sign at the hedgehog things We're like all the fans are like certainly not ten. Yeah, like okay. We regret

Our decision to say yeah, okay. They can also be like they'll also be like Rowan Atkinson's whole steeze looks way off guys And they'll be like, oh, okay. We'll see GI in a different Rowan Atkinson Can I pause at this I could see it being ten of us just take out Rowan. Yes. Thank you Okay, Richard. I want a fighting a bee. Oh my fuck. I would watch a hundred episodes of that Legitimately pumped if somebody was like, do you want to watch Richard? I would if I'd be for ten episodes like yeah, so Lutely yes for some reason as soon as you said Chris my mind went to Elliot and I would also watch that I would also watch there's so many people. I would rather watch fight a bee almost any but I mean almost any it's the least I mean except unless it was like

Lawrence the cable gentleman like that that would be But if it if he was playing himself and he had kind of like let his hair down and Yeah, this is him at home. Thank you. The cameras are off the lights have dimmed You know the Lawrence the cable gentleman doesn't have quite as funky an accent as he puts on I know he's laying a little bit. It is a roll He's got he's got a little bit of drawl, but it is not nearly the the no Get the cadence that he pulls off in his in his day-to-day life He is Lawrence Christner the National Security Vice of the Biden administration. So that was his day-to-day

And then at night, he's like get her done. Yeah, hey time to get her done That must have been really hard. Can you imagine him in the mirror for like three days straight? Just like get her done get her done. Yeah Yeah What if each episode we got a focus on man versus be right you're right So it is the same day told from a different perspective. It's the same events Yes, this is what I'm saying I can see that how much I'm on okay I would also accept ten episodes each episode exact same exact same

Different comedian plays the Rowan Atkinson part each time I would watch that I want one of the episodes to just be a shot-for-shot recreation of that one episode of Breaking Bad where there's the fly But in this case it's a bee and the bees represent the guilt you feel for letting someone die Exactly is is he was he in a situation where he's like I want to do a TV show Who all my friends to see who wants to do a TV show not bad not far away like we checked and no No, what he does he's like what about bees what about bees indeed Rowan He walked into like his manager's office or his agents and he said okay You know what I'm ready hand me the stack of scripts people have submitted that they want me to be a part of and they're like

There was no second scripts But then the agent saw a dead bee on the windows and I was like well, I tell you what I got I got some of the Great idea, and that's how it happens. Okay, we do. I this is a bee last lives a month Uh-huh a bee lives a month. So this is there's ten episodes The bee's gonna die of natural causes at the that has to be we're headed towards a Charlotte's web There's a big problem in filming. Yeah. Yeah, we kept these bees keep dying. We have to film faster I'm so tired of training these bees how to do a punch line But Rowan just kept eating the bees he just

Hey, he was gonna die anyways, it's me Rowan Aguintan I don't know who Rowan Aguintan is I wish I wish I wish the listeners have been here the first time I looked at the image because honestly It's the most it's one of the most powerful images. I've seen in quite some time in terms of just like the raw potential of maverick How how is it? Can I ask a couple? How is it ten How how is it not I was gonna say a movie but even to like let's say 85 minutes a movie a movie makes sense

I see we're not talking about it. If it's a movie. No, absolutely a movie. It's like, oh whatever. Yeah, we've seen that It's called mouse hunt. It was good. It was great. I love that movie. Is he a large chick to bees? Oh, that does give the bee a fighting chance with that. He has like one shot. Yeah, they could count That's what maybe the bee is like stolen his social security number and it's that it's like, oh, okay I wear a bit of a standoff your bee. I don't want you to ruin my credit. Yeah, I could see that It could be a what about Bob kind of scenario where at first the whole family's like get rid of that bee But then the family was like, yeah, you know what actually like this is reincarnated wife I'm enjoying imagining Rowan Atkinson reaching for his podcast volume knob

Just turning it all the way down and he keeps turning a little back up to see if we're still talking about it I go, oh, God, there's still okay. Please just do a munch squad. Get me back Hey, hello, hello, it's me. Oh, hey, you're Rowan Atkinson. I love it. If you all stop talking about my boo I'm spiraling. I just need to eat a few bees That'll even me out. Yeah, I just need something. I'm way down. I just need the level rowing. You've been clean for months I'm gonna chomp down some bees or as I call them honey gushes, you know, they don't The honey, you can have some ants. It's all we've got in the house. You know, that won't get me there All right, my favorite brothers have ruined my movie

It's actually 10 episodes run boy. It's getting a little silly. We need to calm down. It's 10 episodes Rowan Wait, how is it 10 episodes? Okay, I don't remember that. Let's I'm gonna I'm gonna put out a thing This just says how we should do a shirt. That's just this house. It's how is it? Okay, let's let's start the show and I'm not feeling like doing a war with grandpa. No, we're not grant We're not gonna war war with grandpa as I mean, I will say it is sad because if anything was deserving. Yeah, it would be man versus be but like We have a long road. You know, we have a lot of buildup to this. There's gonna be a trailer In a different universe though

I would love an entire episode of us doing a 10 episode breakdown purely on spec of trying to figure out like, okay So what could you f1? What would you do in f1 and then f2? How do you what's the bet is quickly? What this episode is becoming now? I'm not even if we joke about it three times it comes real There's a lemonade stand on my college campus that is handing out free cups eliminate nice I would love to approach them and receive a free drink, but there's something strange one of the people working at the table is wearing a rainbow clown wig and A red nose and the other is holding a large video camera. Oh, no, who has those

It's a phone now, okay They're filming everyone who walks by or approaches the table I've seen several people approach the table and although everyone seems equally confused They all received their free cups of lemonade and walked away unscathed Brothers am I good to get my free lemonade? I don't want to be pranked or put into a YouTube video of some sort What is the catch to this and that's from limiting the lover in LA and it's all I can think about now So I really really hope that they did I do need I'm about to tell them not to but I hope that they did because I need to know What happened for you guys? I still have that one image of Veronica because then up on my computer

I gotta close it. You gotta close it. I promise you will be talking about man versus be a lot more in the lead up to the series We are the brand ambassadors. Yeah, I did get a call halfway through that. Yeah street scene. Okay. Here's the thing. What else? Could it be? If not some sort of prank or I mean, I guess it could be like a You come up and we're gonna like ask you your feelings up like what do you think about the current college administration? Yeah, what do you think about Jesus Christ? Yeah, that's and that's always on the table It's group and they're like we're really out there changing some hearts and minds out there with our cold lemon drink

By the way, I thought about this the other day colleges should offer one class That's just called like atheist professor pick support Bible Just I think that would be nice just to give that to them That would be dope because then you would have a place for the strong ex Marine Who stands up and punches the professor so hard he dies and everybody gets saved and he's like that was from Jesus engineer that sort of on a You know Institutional level that would you just be nice to give that to them, you know just nice. I think not he would appreciate it

Okay, okay, but by them you mean people who don't like who think that's all that happens in colleges Feel for the yeah, sure That's an why the rainbow wig. I mean, that's what I mean I don't know why we need to pick apart the hue of the clown wig. It's a clown wig They're wearing a clown nose and a clown wig. Okay, but that's what I'm saying. It's like if not a prank Who puts that on and thinks this will draw them in? That can't be it now. I will say It is noticeable. You know that you were talking about it. Are you?

So, why is the lemonade free then? Lemon is tough. Why lemonade? Why the camera why all the parts of it? I hate this Real quick because there's not a lot of context to go in here And I we do need to move on because this is not an advice situation I do really though quickly want to hear from each of you your best guess as To what is happening here? Okay, and then I can I amend that too? I would like wow instantly best guess and would we take the free lemonade? Okay?

I can answer the second part. No, no, I know how I'm a man. I'm 41 years old. I can get my own limit Okay, great Best guess is what's going on If the person's walked away unscathed I think that they have set up the premise and forgotten That you also need some sort of punch and they're just hoping Something funny happens. That's okay. My guess is this is a like a sociology class. Oh, and they are showing how much our like survival

Instincts have dulled to a point where we're accepting lemonade from from clowns. Oh, I like that too. Okay I think there's a YouTube channel called piss boys Okay, I can see where you're going with this but it piss boys would have better equipment I like Justin's because I believe a school still has a big video Okay, your mind told your brain told you to say out loud That's wrong because piss boys would have better equipment than that. Yeah, this boys would be a popular Why Why not Travis Travis you were so quick to shit on my thing and

You and your reasoning for it was piss boys the imaginary YouTube channel would be more professional than that Yeah, they would have more success and more views I spent we all spend a lot of time on the internet Grif and you can't tell me that channel called piss boys wouldn't be But I feel like you're doing a lot of talking and not listening and critical thinking. Yeah, thank you Grif it I think that piss boys would not be a good YouTube channel Travis. Okay. Why is that? because the Because this the joke that they are doing here is that they walk up and the clown says want free lemonade and someone takes it

And they say it's a piss and then the person's like then I don't want it and then the clowns like it's not piss And then that's good, and then they see if the person drinks it or not. Oh, that's five million hits Let's see if Justin has a link to oh, okay, Justin has this boys. That's how you pronounce it Oh, okay, sir. I just found that I searched YouTube to see if there was already a piss boys channel. There's not yet There's a band. Oh boys band Okay, all right moving on. Yeah, let's go They publish every Tuesday and Thursday by the way if anyone wants to check out their content

It's incredible. Some of it is piss related, but they also do some like how to DIY stuff around the house Witnessing there's a lot of ability by the way. It was a Christian thing the Christians witnessing to you or something Yeah, a friend of mine has been looking by an older TV to player SNES on the other day my boss I believe it's pronounced sneeze. I had the other day my boss had a pristine kurt on the floor of her office Sorry, that's a CRD. I I asked about it and she said she was waiting for her husband to take it to Goodwill I texted my friend to ask if she wanted a free TV and of course she said yes when I went back to my boss to tell her I would take it off her hand. She was thrilled. She then asked how much my friend was willing to pay for it. I

Had already told my friend it was free. So I panicked and said I would see what I could do Brothers the TV is not sitting in my house waiting to be picked up I don't want to take it back to work But if I asked my notoriously cheap friend to pay she won't want it Do I have to pay for this TV now? Can I just not mention it to my boss again? I'm a broke college student, but I really want to play Super Mario. Please help That's from financially flustered in the Finger Lakes here. Hey, right off the bat. Can I just say that's when she's the boss? Yeah

Okay, she sees a deal. She sees your ankle. She's working it right Yeah, I mean, here's the thing if you want the true experience of playing fucking You know dr. Crankenstein 3d or like whatever the old cool SNES games are you got? I'm pretty sure dr. Crankenstein's wonderful laboratory 3d is the game that I was thinking of they came on the same Cartridge it was like us. It was a half-and-half. Well, I know that they did the cartridge That was part chrono trigger part dr. Crankenstein's wonderful Yeah, but on the back of it was Yoshi's Island if you turned it around

Yeah, if you put you put the card in backwards if you put it in upside-down is Yoshi's cookie. Yeah, it's a cool cartridge It was if you blew in it. It was a game genie. Yeah, and it made a harmonica noise Probably but it was a literal genie that came out. Yeah, yeah Yeah, but he would play games with you because he would grant your wishes in all these like really ironic terrible way Yeah, yeah, while he beat you at Mario Kart. So Man, I don't know. I get it. I get that lifestyle, right? There's something about like input lag That's why people like playing Smash Brothers on old-ass TVs Well, it's that I think it's the input. I don't know if the input lag is part

I know that it's the the pixels are blurred if you if you use a CRT that has individual pixels being eliminated They're at that you get the true prison Is that it but on a LCD the the pixels are are blurred because they're being I see artificially rendered They also probably don't want to worry about adapters for the cables guys That's probably they just have the one cable that plugs into an RCA hookup. You think that's what's going on here, Jeff Yes, Justin. That's a thousand percent what it is. Yeah, okay All right, that's what I'm saying You guys are coming at this from your elite video game journalist days

And I'm like they don't want to go to the trouble of finding an adapter You're shooting from the hip with your your hot piss boys take. Yes. Thank you I'm trying to get on that channel so bad you guys who'd be so good for a brand if they would just have I I would say Here's the here's the thing. I this is my take. Yeah, I think that everything's fine because you already have the TV Right, so it's not like your boss said, oh great. I'll hold on to it till you bring me the money You've got it. Oh, wow. Okay. So like dropped it outside. It went bang. I mean at this point It's not a problem until it becomes a problem again So I would just stop worrying about it if it was me

Right cuz it's fine until it's not fine and then you can figure it out Uh Yeah, that's not great advice. That's just not good. It kind of feels weird to say I'm gonna give this away to Goodwill I don't know wait. I'll sell it like I guess you do you do you and you know, you get you I guess you got to chase the paper But nothing nothing lost there. You know what I mean now I will say Griffin to that point the boss didn't say you will have to pay for it or that would be $20 or whatever They said how much would they pay for it and you question asked her could have said oh nothing

Right, like it was a very open-ended question with a possibility of zero dollars Was an answer And so I that I there was a moment there that would have now I get it sometimes on the show We have to think about yeah, but we didn't do that. That wasn't what happened I understand that but that's where I would have gone or just follow the husband of Goodwill and get it from there Well, then you gotta buy it or oh, okay, you're right Justin when he starts bringing in you come around the corner like yes I'm a goodwill employee. I'll take that right off your hands. Boom. No Problem. There's no ethical or no issues

So ever Travis just said and while you're at it walk in there and just keep telling people you're a goodwill employee Just take some stuff. It's perfect. It's a good way of building goodwill. Oh Hey Griffin do you have anything for us this week anything? I mean the wizard came to me in a dream last night Oh, yeah, Daniel sent this one and thank you Daniel and it's not it's not them. I mean, it's not the most outrageous One of them, but I found it fascinating and it's how to become a saint. Oh I have wondered of course you have yeah I mean, it's me saints are people that Christians particularly the Roman Catholics believe are the holiest and virtuous servants of God

And that they are now in heaven saints are celebrated with prayers days on the holy calendar and an art and iconography on churches and their lives are Revealed studied as examples for the rest of faithful to follow. I that's cool There's also a lot of those places that will like make those big votive candles, but sure sure sure, but it'll have you know like fucking Be Arthur be Arthur on it be movie some of these real sinners anyway Oh, you're step one. It was be Arthur a real sinner. Yeah, she Did all kinds of blood rituals so awesome first step become Catholic and you can just do that You just go do that go hit up the go hit up your local Parish or whatever and you're like I would love to be Catholic and it juice

Don't you have to take didn't they try to make you do like Catholic mostly Catholic at this point, right? I had it a little bit of training But no by me and like just so they would let me get married in the church We had to meet with a priest. Yeah, and he had to tell us the real meaning Now Justin was this a lot like that one scene and this is a very important scene in cinema In Street Fighter when they were trying to make Wonka evil and they filled it almost all the way up with evil But then the last moment it switched to good. Was that like you converting to Catholicism and the last moment It was basically exactly a shot-for-shot remake of the 2007 film licensed to win

Uh-huh, okay, Robin Williams is the Reverend. Okay, getting John Krasinski and Mandy more married. Okay. I do I remember it vividly, but you're saying it wasn't a shot-for-shot remake of the 1994 film Street Fighter in the scene where they try to make The 100% evil but he and when the priest is like you want to get married on a Tuesday Yeah, that's a good that's a good Street Fighter movie joke Yeah, everyone got that one for sure. Okay, so here we go live an exemplary and pious life. That's one step That's a single step. It's just like live So right and so good and spend all of your days on this earth fighting against poverty and oppression and devoting your life to scholarly study Is it okay that I start that now? I think it might be a little bit late

A little bit late St. Paul did some shit, right? I mean came around he did his was a pretty extreme example But sure. Yeah, okay, so next next step and I love the wording perform at least two miracles Okay, yeah, yeah, you know like if you do Five That's cool. I feel like you get into a case where like if you do too many miracles people are gonna get a little bit suspicious Two is kind I would say two to three is the sweet spot Yeah, I think once you hit four or more people are gonna be like we get it

But like they have to there's like a ratification process that takes place So like if you want to be safe there might it might make sense to do Two or three or even four if you feel like maybe one of them isn't gonna count and I just take it for me If you're like and then the third Eminem in a row that I got out of the package was blue They don't probably not gonna cut the monster. They don't take that one. What's cool It is a little bit like the Guinness Book of World Records where they send someone to watch it like okay do it Oh, yeah, six in one minute. He's in which is pretty cool That they don't actually do it like that for reasons we'll get into very very shortly

But some examples unexplainable here at healing of the incurably sick wounded or dying is a classic It says as is interceding to miraculously stop or rescue people from an impending disaster You don't technically have to perform these miracles while alive You could intercede from heaven to make your miracles happen instead. Oh, that sounds good That sounds like the easiest one. Tell me if this next step sounds good step four die Hmm. I wasn't planning on that one though. No, I'm not gonna do that one No getting around this one. St. Hood is a posthumous title. In fact Deconization process only begins a minimum of five years after the subject's death. Oh

Yeah, oh man, that's so long after if plot This is the tricky needle to thread is if possible try to be martyred for your faith I do not see how I could get myself in a situation But if I was gonna go out, that's not bad. I mean, yeah sure I was to do it So, okay, here's here's okay So remember now at this step, there's lots more things to do here, but you are dead now Navigating the canonization process as a dead skeleton through the ground

Don't get up and dance around in the ground Don't climb out of your grave and start to kill people Yeah, like to be sainted. She does not work make me a saint or I'll make you a skeleton too That will not work threats do not work in this process They don't like it develop a local quote devotion of people who remember your holiness and pray to you You've got to I think set this one up ahead of time Yeah, have you really helps to have like a confederate in this who's like, hey, do you guys remember Travis? Yeah, I got ruled right let's get together talk about him have your local bishop initiate a cause with the Vatican's congregation for St.

Hook causes again. This is gonna be a ball that you got to start rolling five years prior Right at least right before your worm food, bro Because it's gonna this part it takes a while get investigated by the church a postulate will pour over the details of your life Works on your writings. Oh, boy We're gonna have to erase a lot of content from the old internet this guy does a lot of force stuff Hey Hey, um, I really quick the last like a beatified person. Yeah, you guys know my mother Teresa Right or st. Teresa. No

So I just real quick when I mentioned something. Yeah, so she did two Miracles, right? Oh, they're animal and yeah, you gotta do two miracles and then the somebody is like this this person Uh named Monica Had a tumor and she's in India and she saw a light emanating from a photo of Mother Teresa And then a medallion for Mother Teresa was put on our abdomen and the tumor went away And it says in this story here on biography That theologians and medical experts who delved into the case found out there was no earthly explanation For best res recovery, huh? And her cure was therefore attributed to the miraculous inhibition of Mother Teresa

All right. Um, that's cool. Uh, and the miracle was recognized by the Vatican in 2002 and there's another one just like this in 2008 uh-huh the Somebody should have said something about that the cool man. Yeah, yeah Like now, I mean like hey big news everybody. We have proof. We got it miracles like that's huge Like I feel like that should have been maybe Twitter was big back there How the fuck were we supposed to know about it? Are you we also say this the end result of that? It's hard for me not to Throw a little shade on old Theresa there. I'm like, so just keep do it. Why did you stop doing that medallions?

That's a really cool thing to do is a lot of juice it uses a lot Well, that's why we need to work on more renewable energy Have your first miracle verified and be out of by the Pope. So this one's got to go way up the flagpole essentially Pope it's me Travis first of all cut some of that shit out second of all. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about I got a last-minute reservation for 17. It's not I'm like I'm talking like an hour before dinner So if you want to fast-track this process where it doesn't matter where it doesn't matter stop Applebee's it was a second, but it was a lot of people last minute It was a big out. It was a small applebee's

And then oh and then when they brought the check they had left two of the desserts off So we got it for cheaper than expected. So so pretty cool night pretty cool next step Get that second and I was not hung over the next day even though I had eight breeches is okay All right, get that second miracle verified and become a saint. That's one step Easy easy if you got the first if you can do one miracle Yeah, I bet you can do two and then they're already bought in at that point And then it gets not fun at the end where it says answer prayers now that Officially permitted to venerate you they can ask you to speak with God on their behalf. Don't I'm gonna I'm gonna be so busy

Cranking out medallions. I do not have time to make sure that your kid wins the soccer game Once I get into that let's be honest awesome VIP area that must exist in heaven for saints Yeah, I tell I'm dipping out to answer a call on my cell phone. You know what I mean? Like I know to be the middle to be the middle man to just be like that's true Lord you got to check out this one. You probably just make it up little baby Jonathan needs a win He is so shitty at soccer. You would not believe it. Could you send some angels down? We've done it before Just let the angels help. No not this time. Okay. Sorry. I'll let him know Yeah, he said

You got it the angels to be there, but no one could see them powers in you all along. Bye. What miracles do you guys think you could? Do we'll say humously not post-humously, okay? Let's see I can float Okay, like David Blainstown. No, no really like on water Well lay down and no cuz everyone kind of floats in water. I would I mean I can't do it. I'm too dense with muscle, but I Would make you float Yeah, I'll see that would be a good one. I made my better people than you have tried. What's the miracle?

I'm in my really muscly brother Travis. Yeah He said he couldn't do it because of it all starts diet and eight months of hard work I made him so he would I actually I did a miracle recently. We're At first there only seemed to be enough content for one episode and I made it into 10 episodes before they were very eyes That way there would be enough man versus be for the whole congregation. Yeah I passed out the scripts and I said these are for you this take of it. It is not very good Episodes 2 through 10 is where I carried Yeah

Guys the other day Something occurred to me and I would like to issue guys a bit of a challenge Okay, I think and I've been thinking about this a lot In the straight white cis male category, I think of the three of us I am the most quintessential millennial down And I feel very strongly the other day. I was mowing my lawn I was wearing a Cobra Kai t-shirt that I've owned since before the TV show came out Thank you

And I was listening to music on my iPhone without headphones just blasting it out of my pocket Heck yeah, and the music I was listening to was a combination of there's a playlist of matchbox 20 Incubus Dave Matthews band Jesus, and I was like, oh, this is that this is the height of it Oh, and my sunglasses they had a little strap around the back so they wouldn't fall off my sweaty ears This unforced error you are just saying I've reached the point that hit a point where I was like, uh, I've hit it This is peak Millennial down the energy In quote brackets straight white cis male in brackets what?

Okay, is there a bit associated with well, I had kind of thought that you guys would step up and back I think I'm the most quintessential day, but now I'm just kind of hanging out there It's interesting Griffin and I are sort of peering at you through the comedy glass wondering Wondering why this exhibit is here. Well, I kind of thought that it would become a thing where you guys would talk about your quintessential millennial dad now that present that presumption is extremely millennial job. Thank you so much see Now I'm re-energized because I just like to be peak anything I think is what it comes to you, but I also wanted to be a competition. I didn't want to just hand it to me

I As long as we're I want to get this train back on the road with a little anecdote that happened to me this week Okay, I didn't realize it was off the road. I thought okay. It was way off. Okay. Yeah my daughter is four one of them and she Has this thing that she's been doing lately where rather than just sit on the potty She puts like her whole ass in Toilet while she's peeing It's safer that way

Honey, you gotta stop doing that. She said why and I said well the germs will get out of the potty water and Get into your body through your butt. Uh-huh. She said ah Up the stairs right into the stink mouth Yes She is the future it was I had to lay down

Because up the stairs right into the stink mouth. I mean it's just so powerful. It's like powerful powerful wordplay She's my favorite macro. I haven't done anything weird or Bad or uncool. I just going your way to say hood pretty normal stuff maybe Uh, how about another question? Yeah I bought a new belt. Yeah, and I was so glad To have it that I considered swapping out my old one as I walked down the street leaving the store This is my brand

I didn't do it because I because I this would be me Leaving the store and this thought would be in my subconscious. This belt's gonna fix everything. Yeah Here it is. I gotta get this belt on right now. Hold up my pants and my emotions This is gonna fix it I didn't do it because I feared it was a little too close to actually removing my pants or signaling to others That the pants could come off What I had been justified to swap the belt and toss it in the garbage Or is that too risque for a public sidewalk? That's from new belt in new york

How bad is your old belt that you're gonna throw it in the garbage? Has it reached that point? Because then yes, well, I mean you if I don't know why they're buying a new belt Yeah, this is a good point. Justin because I don't know I've bought multiple I own multiple belts, but I've never bought one while wearing one because I never think that's on the time When you think about do I need a belt? Maybe that's not it. It's really hot I Something something's going wrong in the wiring of this belt. There's a short somewhere in here It's overheating on a regular basis. I have to keep pouring water into the old radiator

The belt the belts that I wear I'm what I realized I was getting these tiny these tiny holes In the front of my t-shirts and it's from why the belt buckle would repeatedly scrape against counters So now I have I've found these special belts that are elastic and they have flat plastic clips On the front and it looks

It looks like it looks cool. It looks like it looks like a prescription belt Yeah, if that kind of sounds like it Justin it looks like a prescription belt, but it stretches way out Okay, and it doesn't hold my pants up very good But I did It does not make the holes in my shirt. Uh-huh. Well, I'll slack I'll slack you guys. No, it's all right It's cool. Thank you guys. Hey, here's the thing. It's a prescription. It's like a prescription. It's like a prescription belt I get that I This is rare, but I will say new belt in New York. You are correct

to point Where if you engage in the visible action of beginning to remove your belt Correct for that time until the new belt goes on Yeah, anybody observing will think oh, yeah, look at that. Just step two Your is pants. You are taking off your pants. You're just in the very early stages of taking off your pants Okay, you're in the preamble so until step two deviates from the expected outcome The expected outcome is and then pants You're right

It it does look like you're wearing juice. Sorry. I'm just looking at Justin's belt because it's the most busted thing I've ever seen It does look like It looks like a lot of things it looks sort of like a restraint strap on a child stroller It looks like a fanny pack without the fanny pack Yeah, I also think it looks a little bit like you shut up to somewhere and they said Oh, we have a dress code here You have to wear a belt and you said I don't have a belt and they said well We have some belts you could wear just to match

The dress code is this is our simple. It's like the it's like the um hospital gown Yes of of belts. It looks like this isn't really doing much At least you got something it's like the 3d glasses equivalent of a belt that you walked into a ride And they handed out belts that they expect you to give back at the end of the ride That is what this looks like to me It looks like a child has drawn their idea of a belt and then you've turned it into a reality It just doesn't um, it doesn't make the holes in my teacher. That's great. I love that about it I do love that for you. Could you announce?

Uh, I'm not taking off. No, that is all right. What a sign help What a sign help it's been a while since I asked But if you made a sign that said just switching belts and you held it up or had someone hold it up next to you Did you loudly talk about like? Can't wait to put on this new belt. Oh, yeah a new belt like prominently Oh, yeah, I'll wear. Oh, you should have done it in the store. I'll wear it out. I'll wear it out Can you throw away my old belt? Oh walk up to a stranger on the street grabbing by the shoulders and screaming It's new belt day. It's new belt day everyone and switch out then they're like well now

I'm the weird one for not getting a new belt today And what's that the belt industry has turned around what the economy's fixed all thanks to new belt day Yeah, could you find someone who doesn't have a belt and just be like, hey brother? So you're on hard times here, please Take my belt. No, these are overalls. No, they actually they're straps at the top here, brother No, raise your hands up brother like an airplane. Let me put this I'll take the belt. I just don't I don't need it right this second and my It's a kind of an oh, you're oh, okay. You're putting it around me like a hula hoop. Okay. Thank you for the belt

I have a formal belt in black too. That's this exact thing, but it's black for formal occasions. Well, okay You can't just calling something formal doesn't make it formal. It's black. Okay That just means it's black. It doesn't mean it's formal Okay, I want to hear your honest evaluations of my belt griffin go it sucks Oh, shit I want a munch weed. Sounds like a yeah, baby I want to munch East

This is our last episode before The big day and we haven't even mentioned it. Oh, right 420. Yeah 420 is our this is our last I mean it's basically our 420 episode And and this is a story about winks. Everybody's getting into the biz. I just wanted to note the holiday Here's the press release from wingstop let's Let's they're we stop to offer blazed and glazed flavor for 420. Okay. Yeah, let's be blunt. Let's be There it is. I love that. That's wordplay, baby

Wingstop ink knows their wings are the ultimate munchies Well, and that for I that's hard to say. Yeah, by the way hard. I do not want to in so many ways I don't want to be messy No, and it's also a million like I got munchies on down. What is it? Yeah, right? Cheetos are I just want you Doritos and Cheetos could battle for the ultimate munchie a little bit of popcorn with some tahin and msg on it That's what I want. I don't want meat sauce 420 is a sacred. I'd take jerky for

420 is a sacred holiday for our guests Don't let the fact that we put ink in the name of our company for you We are down with marijuana. So in celebration of the most chill day of the year the wing joint is They are really packing a man. I like this. It lets me know their hip, you know what I mean? I can trust them. It's definitely not cops In celebration of the most chill day of the year the wing joint is honoring their cannabis loving fans with a limited edition 420 inspired flavor called blazed and glazed Available starting on april 18th in restaurants nationwide crafted with a blend of hemp seeds

terpenes Strawberry and cayenne pepper. What are you doing over there? What are you guys doing? It seems like you just added some stuff laying around some different The new flavor is designed to taste like 420 capturing the herbal notes of the holiday and many even produce a mouth tingling sensation Although and I think it's really cool that they put this in here. The flavor won't actually get you. Okay Well, all right, then Um, can I just say real quick? Can we talk about this a lot on this show?

Especially a month squad words mean things. I don't think food can be limited edition, right? You could say limited time But unless you've only made like 12 of these wings, we've made 12 of these wings come get them. They're a thousand dollars a piece So it might produce a mouth tingling sensation, but it won't get you high and I'm gonna I'm gonna need to hear more about this. So let's check in with marisa corona. Thank you. I've been waiting officer Some of our biggest fans aren't just pairing their favorite wings with seasoned fries And then it says she rose her eyebrows suggestively for 35 straight While many brands are starting to give a nod to 420

We're going higher than ever this year by dedicating an entire flavor to it As the cannabis industry grows so does wing stop's desire to engage this audience Huh, and yet you're still treating it like a bunch of hippies in a van They are yeah, it's still Exactly We're playing fish music 24 hours While wing stop is no stranger to weed culture. Jesus christ to lie We're oh, that's what I say when I walk into a room full of people smoking

I'm like, oh me. I'm no stranger to weed culture.

Yeah, I it's yeah, man. I mean cool. I think yeah, it's pretty cool There's thousands of people incarcerated for fucking having having You know a couple of leaves of marijuana in their pocket during a good traffic stop And the wing stops over here like crunch them up, baby Roll them in the sweet green stuff right? We know you're chronically hungry for these wings. You get it. Yeah That's fair yum yum

co-coa Anyway, that's the story on 420. I will say though. It's like not a lot of There's not a lot of 420 this year there. I feel like in brief I think it's because people are hitting the cbd so hard like that that was a big thing for a lot of people putting a lot of Uh cbd into their into their products also though a lot of places have now like legalized marijuana And it's hard to compete with the actual thing It's like if it's like if a like if mcdonald's was like, hey, this ain't Patrick's Day Come get our beer flavored bird.
