My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 611: Re-Pumba’d

Episode Date: May 23, 2022

Sometimes you need to put the bits on hold for a moment to do some inner digging and analyze your dreams. What does a sealion mean to you? No, not THAT. Surely not that. Dream interpretation is subjective, but THAT is definitely not correct. Try harder. Suggested talking points: Dukey Man, A Dream Seal Told Me I’m in Love With You, Amber is the Color of My BBQ, Blood Harmony, Secret Bathroom Gushers, The World of JurassicNARAL Pro-Choice America: https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/

I'm your sweet baby brother Griffin McElroy. Hey, I have a question for you guys You know we do sometimes just wait wait. What is it say the question come first of all calm down? Okay, second. I'll say the question calmly In a way that we can that we will be able to understand it. Yeah Well, so I have an icebreaker so that we can kind of get to know each other love that gum

Yeah, I have some gum for you guys and also a question Would you rather? Oh, I love friend These are so devilish. Mm-hmm But friend a I'm gonna say like magical alien who's just trying to get home a magical alien That's kind of a hat on a hat. Don't you think well, you know like E.T. Have like It was like they said he's not magical enough. He has to have powers too, which is wild But like a magical alien That's like sci-fi like that's sci-fi. That's just his like science physiology. Yeah, okay. It's not magic

Well, how would you put it? His sci-fi physiology his body can do different stuff. Okay an alien with abilities How about that like when you see a goose fly in the air? Are you like, whoa? I can't do that magic Okay, so an alien is trying to get home like it's just his body can do yeah I get that body or or a ghost trying to solve its own murder I mean ghost that is kind of magic because it's not real Well as far as you know alien could be real the alien that like touches a boo boo and it makes it go better That could definitely be yeah

But if you've just never seen a bird and I tell you about a bird flying you're like, that's not real No, I know but if the bird dies and then the bird you see the spirit of the bird fly out of it I would be like that. How's that real? Well within the world of the would you rather Griffin? I'm trying to expand your horizons. You don't have to think about I guess I would do the alien because that could be real and The ghost couldn't be real. No, that's the wrong answer. Oh Well juice didn't even get a chance to I guess I didn't even get a chance to listen to the question. Okay, so would you rather? kill someone and have them solve their own murder or kill an alien who's trying to get home is the alien bad I This is Justin's question. I

Didn't realize you didn't specify that for individual people. You didn't ask enough questions. Is it the ghost? Well, so Griffin is on one side of the equation. He's trying to help solve the murder Yeah, I want to say right now That in today's day and age and everything and look around you. I don't feel like killing anything Yeah, I'm being a pure love and peace. I would not kill either of these creatures Okay, so let's we'll cross it then instead of Griffin helping either the ghost of the alien and Justin hurting the ghost of the alien Would you rather Griffin help the ghost try to solve its own murder or kill an alien is trying to get home or Justin? Would you rather you can kill someone to have the ghost solve its own murder or help the alien or help an alien try to get home

So me and Justin at home trying it's helping, but I killed it first because it took home state secrets Oh, are you are you pitting me against Griffin? Yeah? Yeah, so I'm sort of a government bad guy Yeah, and I I know the alien stole state state's secrets and it's gonna take him back to his home planet to try to fuck us up I don't think so chick chick. That's my Gun yeah Is that you're the alien is everyone the alien is now dead Oh, no, I was I didn't get to make a sound too slow Oh

You bounced off my armor. I made armor from detritus around my home. Oh Space ship detritus. I can't move juice. Hold on wait. Hold on wait juice. Hold on wait. Hold on wait. Wait, wait, wait Justin no, shush, shush, shush Justin can't be like Listen to me cuz I'm gonna make it beautiful. I'm gonna make it beautiful and poignant What if you had the armor on under your shirt? Oh, yeah, and I see the alien and I'm like give me back my secrets And I just open a clip on his Booty but then you jump in the way and I think oh I killed my brother

I'm so sad, but then you stand up and you're like, it's okay. I was protected by the armor and it's like crash And it's like whoa, that's that's now we're in Oscars territory or or back to the future to territory But in them in the distraction that you've caused the alien dig get to go home with his with first with all the state's secrets and Like a month later. We are gonna get invaded and it's gonna be bad news No one's helping the ghost solve its own murder just to check. It's not real is though is the only thing I think Justin's on the same page. It was a great question because the ghost was also trying to kill the alien and the ghost Knuck on board the ship. Okay. What are what okay? Can we start recording now? Yeah, this has been this has been recording button It's been important stuff. We've done so far

Do you feel that way? Yeah, cuz I think we're sort of coming up with some really big ideas. Oh my and ask him the big questions Yeah, my god.

So that's where we're Hey, here's a something I fucked up on Speaking of MVB, which well, I just wanted to need to do a little bit because I fucked up. Yeah, I uh, I I Heard that there was a Mr. Bean Tony box, you know, Tony's they're creative Tony's little action figures And you put them on top of these boxes and they tell you stories. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. So I got one cuz I've been

letting two Cooper choose one if she sleeps through her bed all night she gets one to play with and I Got her one from the UK this mr. Bean and it tells mr. Bean stories. It's a big problem No, it's a problem because it does songs. It's just songs. Oh And she has recently told me informed me that mr. Bean is her favorite singer. Oh, no Yeah, so I'm hearing a Lot a lot a lot a lot of mr. Beans Hit tunes wait, so over on this end. Yeah, that's how I just need to check Justin

Are they actual songs related to mr. Bean or is it just like you plug it in and it plays some music? Mr. Bean is just the trigger. Oh, that's such an interesting question Travis. He sings songs That are about being mr. Bean. Oh, wow but He doesn't really sing he just says his name quite a bit. Oh cool. He's not very verbose as a character That's not he's much more of a physical presence. Okay. Oh, look, I have a sample of one I can share with you guys. Oh boy. Is this hold on wait? Yeah, are we getting into summer jam 2022 territory might be the summer jam of 20 oh my god, this

21 million views. Okay. Ready. Yeah, we go ready Oh Do you get what we're going there incredible that's a good song. Yeah now imagine I gave a four-year-old the ability With my actions my purchases my evening. I give the four-year-old ability to make that play Yeah, literally any moment. Yeah, that she chooses by placing mr. Bean on top of her Tony box Do you feel like by the way? She will because it's her favorite singer Yeah, you hear when you hear that song Justin, do you feel like transported to like a really I'm gonna say almost too trendy

underground like English nightclub and that song plays and everyone Unironically loses their shit and like really goes for it because that's what it transported me. That's what I felt like to yeah there were too many hula hoops and you know a lot of neon and Clothes that don't seem like clothes and then that song comes on and everyone's dancing and I'm there because like a friend invited me there And I've never been to a place like this and I'm like what the fuck is this song and I kind of laugh and but when I laugh Everyone looks at me and they're like, this isn't why are you laughing man? I'm grew. I'm grooving And I'm shaking so hard. I'm shaking so hard right now. Is that what you feel like in your own home one month

Until MVB. I am curious how you all have been sort of preparing and I don't know about y'all Netflix Is is having some ish issues with retention. Yeah, and they're having a lot of cancellations and it's like guys You're you're just gonna come back in a month and you're not gonna be grandfathered in to those good subscription rates You know what I mean? Like you're gonna come crawling fucking back in one month. I'm never letting go of my subscription By the way, I'm still getting DVDs in the mail whenever I want they can't get rid of that because it's in my contract I'm getting three a week as long as I watch them and return them on time. There's not a fucking thing they can do I'm still holding onto a copy of Stuart little to and they have said nothing about it because Netflix is really cool and my friend Yeah, they're like so chill about every yeah facet of their business

Like everything that they do Do you guys want to hear the some of the comments on the pizza bean video that mr. Bean did where he made pizza in a video? Oh, sure. I was looking for the pizza bean song. I couldn't find it. That's a shame, but comment. Yeah, I feel that Mr. Bean is the best. He makes me laugh so hard on every single video that he does I love mr. Bean because he makes me laugh out loud God bless you mr. Bean This is the best thing I've seen all day. I love mr. Bean always makes me laugh God bless and protect mr. Bean You made my child of mr. Bean when you first started reading those Justin

I had confused what you had said and I thought those were comments by mr. Bean on mr. Bean videos and for a second I was like wow, this is a powerful marketing choices another great one Rowan. You've done you've done it again Should we do a live stream? I've watched How to capitalize on I mean let's talk a little bit of MVB because it's been a little bit Yeah, it's been like and it's really one of the things that makes me genuinely so happy To talk about I feel like the best version of it. Yeah is us like

live-streaming us watching Yes, all of and you can tune it you can tune it we can make a day of it. How many episodes of ten episodes, huh? Ten? Is it all dropping at once or is it like weekly releases? Don't tease me mr. Bean Because you know there's gonna be cliffhangers. You can't fucking I you can't tease me mr. Bean I can't I can't wait that long. You can't leave me on cliffs between each one I'm hanging there waiting for the beans to drop. I'll die. I'll die I'll have a little or harder attack like is he gonna win is to be gonna win. I don't know you can't you gotta drop them

Oh my god, are you guys prepared for the seven episode seven turn when you're like, maybe I want the bee to win You know, that's fucking coming right? Anybody who's not rooting for the bee from the start is out of their fucking mind There is no I'm gonna call it. There's no way They're still fighting at the end of it by the end of it. They have to unite to get a torn It's or something but at the end of the day bees endangered Mr. Beans that's a good point mr. Beans they come and go but we need these little guys these little buzzy boys I am very very excited to announce that um The the top result for me. I want to see if there's a trailer yet the top result for man versus bee

uh On youtube is uh, is it my brother my brother me animatic my crafty salad. So hey, hey, thank you for that We got that. Thank you. Should we do the regular show though? Yeah, I guess I I just we're so close, you know, we're so I can taste I can taste it I will say it's weird that it's a month out and there's still not a single promotional image or video or anything Yeah, for this thing other than that one incredible poster. That's all you need, baby I guess that's all you need but

I've been Mr. Bean, let's hear your bean. No, I'll hear it later. Okay, uh from griffin My flexible friend there it is. I when they did nfts, uh, my tweet was my non fungible friend And I don't think anybody Oh, that's a good fucking. Oh, that's I enjoy that. That's a good Twitter griffin. It's great. Yeah, that's the thing that's going to get me going again I have this question that's been haunting me For years when I was a kid. I went to a house showing with my parents

And during it I really had to go to the bathroom So I asked my mom if I could use the bathroom of the place that we were seeing I don't even remember if I did or if I was allowed But now I was an adult who's looking for places to live now. I'm wondering can you use the bathroom at places you're seeing should you? That's from Nathan. I mean What what what it's like Nathan what Nathan listen If you're gonna live in a place

You're gonna you're gonna make messies in it. Do you know what I mean like thank you when you live in a house What are you gonna do go back to your old house to make messies because you know it and know that it's good for you You gotta take a test drive Yeah, you can't I kidding. Listen. I can't even kid around here. Yeah, you absolutely have to use the bathroom Yeah, like you have to there are in the house, right? Like three things that you're gonna spend them up like your bedroom where you sleep Your kitchen where you make food and your toilet where you make messies and like if any one of those three Is like you get in there and you're like, oh, actually I hate this

I hate this and you don't find that out until after you paid for the house That's that's the wrong time to read because maybe you sit down You're like, oh, you know what this counter is actually a little close to the time. I feel like I'm pinned in here Oh, you know actually the toilet favorite of spencer is a little bit too far away and I gotta like lean forward to reach it What if it's one of those things where this toilet seat won't stay up? Oh, so you have to like hold it with one hand while you do the your uh stand-up business with the other hand Well, that's why I just don't I don't do stand-up. Do y'all remember the first house that we bought Where there was a fucking harry potter bathroom like harry potter under the stairs bathroom

Yeah, that you had to like schoonch into and kind of lean backwards because the you imagine my horror My abject horror after I'd signed a deed to say yes, this is my bathroom Yeah, and I sat in there and tried to use that bathroom Can you imagine my abject terror as my knees bumped the wall? Oh, yeah, that was I felt like I was on a american airlines flight every time I used that toilet That was a bad that was a bad situation The first apartment that Teresa and I lived in together and grant we did not buy the house But uh, there was one uh bathroom in the apartment

But then they said but in case if there's like an emergency after you there is a toilet in the basement That toilet while connected and fully functional was just stand like in the middle of a room There was no it was like some fucking frank Lloyd Wright. Like this is like a desert There's no walls kind of shit where it's just like if it's an emergency and you gotta go Yeah, just right there. Do you guys remember the first apartment? I moved into in Huntington up in the West Virginia building where uh, I didn't realize this like when we signed up for it but it came it came with dookie man and Sorry, what when the bathroom and you remember do you remember the first apartment? I

Got yes in the West Virginia building. Yeah, and then you got high there once and eight Taco Bell Yeah, that was a good day. But then during that visit. Did you go to the bathroom and see dookie man? No, I don't think so. Oh, you didn't you didn't see him. I know that I remember sad news. He saw you Oh, really? I can't believe you don't remember dookie man. He's just he was there always And he was bad Like a guy that lived in your bathroom. Is that you're telling me? Um Guy's not the he had human qualities, I guess. Yeah

But he would he was there and other people saw him like your roommate saw him I don't know if they ever I know I should send them I need to reconnect with those boys on facebook messenger and say like hey Fun times we had in that apartment too bad about dookie man But they never mentioned them you just assumed that if they saw them they were keeping it to themselves Yeah Okay, I can't believe you guys don't remember dookie man. No, I was there a lot I used the bathroom quite a few times

It'd be a lot more fun if you remembered dookie man and you could help me kind of flesh him out a little bit Well, I think that the name was off-putting. Yeah. Oh, well, that was I mean he didn't tell me his name You absolutely need to use the bathroom here. I want to move on. Okay. Um, the wizard has one for us if we are good with that Sure. Yeah, I think yeah All right. Cool. Cool. Glenn uh sent this in. Thank you. Glenn. It's this and this one's like actionable I think for like most folks all the time. Oh, okay. It's how to interpret a dream involving seals Thank you. And this is first of all, he's singing Blubbery animal. I tried to get ahead of it. Did you hear how I tried to get ahead of it?

Like right away, but Travis still got in there to scoop it. No, we're talking about the little blubbery boys known as seals um or sea dogs Dream interpretation can be complicated Usually the most important meeting of a dream is the meaning that's important to you as an individual. I don't I don't like that. I feel like it should be pretty objective. There should be a chart There should be a chart. There's really only two dream interpretations, right? And one it's either you are anxious or you are not anxious And it's one of those two and if you break it down by that, it's pretty easy to see which one's which, right?

Yeah, yeah, it's more gradients of how anxious are you? Right? Exactly. That's really it. Either you're either you're like You're several different degrees of anxious. Yeah, or maybe you get to chill out and fly for five minutes You had an okay day or you had a normal day um can I Henry had a nightmare the other day about um zombies he's had that one quite a bit lately and um He was like, but I had superpowers And I was like, oh cool and he's like nice, but the superpowers had to load Oh, man. That's good. That's so choice

Okay, so record the details write them all down if you want to interpret the dream you need to record the details You wake I'm talking about waking up in a cold sweat and turning on the light and your wife is like, what are you doing? You know, like I have to I have to write this down. I had a dream and The lead singer of matchbox 20 was there and he got mad at me. What does it mean? You're you're anxious today and oh, okay Jot down everything you remember track specifics like colors shapes sounds words and so on They were seal sounds and shapes the shape of a seal the sound of a seal Do you think it's better or worse if the seal makes seal sounds or if the seal speaks in like human voice?

Hi, thanks for coming. Yeah. Hey. Hey. Hey. Um, grug. What's up? I know you think this is a dream, but I'm telepathically connecting to you. Could you bring me some fish? Um, I'm down the aquarium nearby. If you could just come down. No, don't wake up yet. Say yes You're a human. You're a human, right? Yeah, where's all the ice land going? Yeah, I used to um, Love it there and uh, it's all going away. Is everything okay? I have to assume as humans you guys are way more worried about this than us, right? Are you guys saying that? You guys are fucking flipping over there. You guys have got to be freaking out doing everything you can to fix this shit, right?

Because like I'm a seal and my seal brain Comprehends that there's an issue. So with your human brain, you guys got to be like really freaking out, right? Why are you talking to me? Why are you sleeping? You got thumbs and computers and stuff, right? And don't get me wrong, right? Making the whales go extinct. We love that I should admit right now the temperatures that's caused by our farts. Yeah, don't sell anybody But I see you guys every day fighting those big metal animals that spit out all that stuff If you guys killed them yet, you guys seem to be all inside those fighting. I'm so awesome. Okay, record your feelings. That's

The same I felt like a seal. I saw I saw the seal it sounded like rob thomas from matchbox 20 and I felt sad I felt a sadness a little bit happy because it was rob thomas. I'm a big fan sure sure sure The next step is identify your thoughts, which is literally the same thing No feelings and thoughts are different griffin Okay, if in if in the dream you saw a seal and you felt anxious, but you thought oh fuck is that rob thomas That's two different things right a band of seals played me matchbox 20s unwell And if I felt sad, but I thought it was badass. Yeah

Yeah, two different things pretty badass song It is really is think about your personal role in the dream oftentimes We are not ourselves in our dreams. You may find that you are playing a role you would not normally play in life Oh, like I was the drummer of matchbox 20 and normally I'm the guitarist For example, you may be aggressive in your dream while you tend to be non-confrontational in real life I'm gonna get you dream seal I'm gonna get you and fuck you up dream seal Please don't kill you killed my dad dream. See you

Um think about how you felt so far. We have not talked about seals in this article. Yeah I feel like we have a lot. So let's let's begin that now looking for potential meanings. Consider the potential symbolism of seals Most symbolism and dreams is highly personal However, no one is completely unaware of culture and the cultural meanings or associations that are often attached to images like seals Off at the top of your head. For example, just pick one. Yeah, just and why don't you tell me one thing that seals represent? Again object not to you But just sort of archetypically speaking just like just like, um

Tricks yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, that's one thing that I feel like Yeah Sometimes they jump up into pastors buys kayaks and they're like you gotta get me the fuck out of here, man And that's great. We love that Travis. Yeah seal. What do I think? What's a seal mean to you? sperm

Yeah, yeah, sorry sperm because they're like slippery wigglers and they're swimming quickly all over the place and Uh, I think sperm whales eat them and that's a connection in my brain too. I'm not sure though Maybe sperm. I think if you walk into the dream therapist's office and he's like, so what's up? You're like I had a dream about seals, which of course means sperm. You can be like, okay. We're done for the day Doesn't mean driven. It doesn't actually say that I'm actually writing you a prescription. I know the exact pill for you I know the exact pill that's going to fix this for you because we've heard this well, what's it mean?

What's this? What's the seal represent to you griffin? Yeah, well, I've already read the wiki how article so I'm tainted Oh, okay. Should I just say sea lions? Would that have been a better answer? They're basically the same. Seal is just short for sea lion. Yeah, there is a certain duality in seals that can be symbolic While seals live in the ocean, they can also come up on land a seal and a dream may suggest confusion regarding one's place in the world Do you think that when seals? Really? Sorry author of this article. Do you think when seals go up on land? They're like, what the fuck am I doing? I'm caught between two worlds. This is stupid. This is stupid. I look at my I have fins Look at the way. I try to walk with my not feet. What the fuck am I doing up here? Um, they're excellent swimmers enabled to navigate water a seal and a dream may have something to do with the ability to

Go with the flow of life if you felt overwhelmed recently a seal and a dream can be representative of a longing for more control That's good Hey, you guys want to hear something that's weird and fucked up and true. Yeah The difference between seals and sea lions is if they have ear flaps or not No seal is short for seal lines. They see travesty sea lion outside out loud See go outside. Go outside. Okay. Hold on And say sea lion out loud, but don't say iron Okay, yeah, I get it. Yeah, I hear it now. You got back inside really fast. Look at your click

And if that's not right if you could email us that would be great, but I'm pretty sure that it is right. Yeah um, um our email address is uh Help at jimmy john stock on When that was a get too man, look at your personal struggles You know what? I did not do that podcast if you could The cost-benefit analysis of I had a seal dream last night. I'm curious what it meant and the internet is like, well Let's psychoanalyze and you're like, oh wait, imagine if you woke up and you're like, how's your sleep?

I jump up by seals clear my schedule I'm going deep today. I wiki how told me I need to think about my problems And that's all it took to start me on this journey of self discovery step one. I've been fighting a lot of whales lately Oh All done. I gotta figure it out. Um, think about what's been on your mind lately Have you been feeling overwhelmed by something at work or a personal relationship? Have you been struggling to make a big decision? Yeah, maybe the seal can help with that Um, hey, I'm here to help

Now tell me who's been eating your sandwich and using the copier at all out Now this is it. It's sammy. Did you bring those fish? I asked you for it. You did awesome Now, what's this? She's kind of gossipy at work, huh? Oh, that's a tough one. Tough one. Tough one Here's another interactive segment. Um, I want both of you to evaluate your personal connection to seals Have seals ever had a large importance in your life? Do you have any particularly strong memories of seals? Is this like a scale of one to ten kind of deal? I would say can I say I'm realizing this is I've tried to make seal jokes. I fucking Nothing seals. Oh, wow. Nothing them. I if they're at like, uh, there's a seal show

at the astounding Nations best if I may Atlanta Aquarium, huh? And uh, I actually might be the Georgia Aquarium, but it is in Atlanta Um, there's a seal show there and it's like right there, right? Yeah And you just walk in and see seals doing tricks and I like Don't care if I'm there or not. Sometimes I'll walk in there and see the seals. Yeah, sometimes I don't I don't care I think that that might be a bigger connection of like your disinterest in dogs as well Because to me seals are a very dog-like aquatic creature because for me, I'm at like an 8.5 on seals

I I have feelings solely based around Tina majorino's star turn in andre Of course the seal movie where yeah, if memory serves she had a seal friend and that was about the extent of it I think the seal solved a crime if I'm not mistaken I think she she tried to pretend the seal was a real person Hmm Maybe we're like a seal and a dog become best friend or it's a dolphin and a dog isn't it? Yeah, that's not I'm gonna say yeah out of 10. I'm like an 8.5. I feel before you add on seal

I like them. I like them Listener, please tweet us your feelings on seals. It's at jimmy johns. I'd love to touch one Just okay. Yeah I bet they feel Super I would like to swim with one Well, but I'm not a great swimmer. So I also feel like the dog the dog this he'll be very judgmental You'd have to do the whole that old like put a collar around two of them And like let them yeah that old chestnut. That's cool and not bad for them

Zeus and Roxanne we should make it clear because some people are gonna be like That's mean to say but the seals love it when they pull you through the water They don't know what to do if they're not doing it. Yeah, yeah, and it makes them like Really strong once you take it off and they're not hauling they're like If you have two seals that have hauled me for a long time in you and henchme They're suddenly like half a Justin faster. Yeah, it's like and that's an amazing feeling for you. They love that feel It's not like a bad like sea world thing. It's like a they they prefer it People probably think you're mean to yourself for exercising. Right, you know

Avoid dream dictionaries and they have a picture of a dream dictionary here, but it's it's backwards Like the title is on the back cover of the book. So I don't is that because if you look it up You're you're gonna realize how much horseshit is Time to put it all together question each image in your dream Okay, for example, you remember an image from the dream You're swimming in the ocean with your best friend when a large herd of seals approach the seals surround you and your friend Is nowhere to be found Damn, okay. What did they what did the seals wait? Is my friend a seal? No, well, maybe my seal

Maybe they turned into one, but I'm afraid to be a seal Oh, yeah I'm letting opportunity pass me by opportunity for fun for change. Can I just formation rebirth? Can I just say That they went with a herd of seals But there's many terms that they could have gone with that are way better Yeah, a rookery of seals Oh

A harem of seals with no Or a bob of seals A bob that's pretty tight. I like that Um, I would love a harem of seals. Oh god. Now we're finally going to introduce you to my Yes, I this is the largest private estate in the nation Over here. Let's be open the door behind here. I have a harem of seals Well, I suppose you could say yes Mary, come with me. I don't ascribe to such pedestrian labels. It's a harem

Uh figure out what please figure out what the seals mean in your specific dream. Yeah No, shit. We can out. What have we been doing, dude? This is circular read this article on seal In dream interpretation. It's like it just keeps going down the spiral. Here's a hyperlink to this article Reflect on your feelings again. Thanks.

They're clearly worried. I don't feel comfortable enough in their home to eat The real reason is that most of the food in their house is completely un appetizing to me. I simply prefer eating my own stuff Is there a polite way to signal to them that they've made me feel perfectly welcome and just think their food looks kind of gross That's from picky eater in porland Wow So judgmental, maybe You got i might i have a friendy's tiger his name's daniel. You know, he said he's got a new food because it might taste good It might taste good. Yeah, it was rhetorical

But he says you got to try new foods because they might taste good. He also says we like different. Whoa Jesus Christ. All right. We all guys that was jarring. I you should have heard that on my end Wait till you hear that Play play that back on your holy shit That tripped me out for a second a little blood-harmy there. Wow. Yeah Go ahead trams do your daniel tiger joke. Then i'll do mine. Okay. We like different things and that's just fine But remember to be kind Well, he also says if you have to go potty stop and go right away and that is really close minded daniel tiger

If i i have tried to live a life and create a career for myself that does Allow for that. Yeah. Yeah, that does allow me to go. Oops. I have to go potty even a little bit So i'm going to stop what i'm doing right now, but sometimes you're on stage in front of a big screaming crowd And it doesn't work like that daniel tiger. Well, to be fair the the earlier version of that was We should live in a society where when one has to go potty They should be able to stop and go right away with no judgment or like societal ideal. Yeah, they had to shorten that a little bit Yeah, there's a song that's like abolish work so we can go potty whenever we need to That's a good one. Give the businesses to the workers. Right. Um, you could get a

cutting board and dip a knife in some hummus And then leave the knife on the keyboard And then your desk job. Oh, I see what you're saying. This is to make it seem like you ate some of the food Yeah, you didn't eat anything, but you like yeah, i'm real comfortable here. I didn't clean up after myself Now here's the thing. We are all uh children have our people And so it should really be a better that really shed for that and uh, we have from time to time had people watch our children And i've done the like completely, you know, man You can eat here, but whenever I do that I also think in the back of my head

But I did like pick out all this food because I wanted to eat it But but you should know that I have a sort of mental catalog of exactly how much I have of all these things And if there's less or none of the things that I think I have I will actually lose my and I'm gonna tell you like Whatever you want, but in my head there are things that are like mine like that bag of m&m's That's mine and like if you eat that I'll be pissed not enough to not hire you again Don't get it twisted. I like that you watch my kid and I trust you But if you eat that bag of m&m's that I did not tell you not to eat It i'm gonna yeah like one degree like you less if if you drink my last pepsi

You enjoyed looking at the inside of my home because it will be the last time. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh you ate the donuts. Okay Yeah, although I will say when I was a babysitter when I used to babysit. Oh boy. There's nothing more delicious than like Oh, you guys have pudding Nice, we never have pudding in our house Nice, but when I was babysitting I had a lot of secret bathroom gushers because I knew they weren't for me And I could not let the children see me eat them So I would sort of take them and go into the bathroom and eat like five at a time Yeah, finish a pack and like man, you would not believe how fast I could polish off a pack of gushers

And I'm pretty sure that's not the first time I've said that sentence on this show Is there a way to say to them? Oh I do feel comfortable here. It's just that your food is yucky without it being a thing like oh no thing No, why are you just rephrasing the question because I'm trying to think if there's a way if if you could say Hmm. Oh, you know what actually on tuesdays I only eat turkey sandwiches because it starts with a tea just like tuesdays Sorry, it's bug day. Oh That's not what I said, but I like yours only bugs for me

But then the problem is I am I am living my life as a ripumba and I have You've probably heard about this on instagram you've probably heard about this but i'm a ripumba And I feel like i'm living my life as a poomba. It's a choice that I made for myself To make a more sustainable choice for you. Yeah, henry cavill did it uh to get ready for manistee He actually got really cut, but that's not that's not the point of it even though he did look so good in anola homes You may not have noticed that they had to cg a lot of his face stuff in the superman movie Yeah, um because he what he was living a very poomba lifestyle at the time

So they had to like get the tusks out of the picture. Yeah, and he had he had a lot of tusks Carapips all over his chin Great just eating on but so i'm doing that but no, please don't buy bugs for me and I know you already I'll just find them underneath like your floorboards and stuff. I'm helping you out really I like I only like them when they're painable. Is that the word? Sorry. I've only been ripumba for a few weeks now Um, so i'm just kind of getting into it. So please don't hit me with non-bugs Because it is a bug day for me Tomorrow i'm going to find a baby and raise my own. It's a whole lifestyle. It's not just the food thing

Um, I am looking for a meerkat partner So if you know any meerkat and you actually are you I know you have a lot of questions You cannot ask them. You can't have panda matata is what I'll say every time if you ask Do you think do you think? That wait after many years when simba was was traveling around with tamon and poomba Do you think? um That there was ever a moment where he like wandered away for the two of them

And he or they ran into like a goose or something and the goose is like who's that over there and simba's like, oh, those are my dads Oh, my uncles just of those. There's those are my dads. Those are not the modem poomba The modem poomba are not simba's dads just and they're his uncle My dumb not bug eating real dad fell and died He got squished. Eleanor got squished. Do you think he ever slipped up? He's like Like poomba like handed him a bug and he's like, oh, yeah, and and there's like silence like what did you see? I got weird. Oh, okay. This is uh, okay. I'm gonna need to walk away for a second I do think it's nice that uh that that married couple to modem poomba adopted a lion child

I think that that is nice huge But do you think there was ever a moment where you know when he's the full grown adult and he's back there at the pride lands He would hunt and kill because he is the lion That's what he do and he would come home just like his face dripping in blood and gourd. Yeah, and to modem poomba was like, oh right Oh, right. He's a terrifying lion that we have really kind of like hitched our wagon to And he likes to hunt and kill they don't show day after he deposes the bad uncle And he's like, what's up everybody? I'm king now guess what bugs only We're all doing bugs. We can't be buds with zebra and also eat zebra
