Can we be serious now? We’re going to take a tour of Justin’s memory palace. There’s rooms full of ham, tiny donuts, and people falling all over each other. It makes sense, trust us.Suggested talking points: 14-Year-Old Babysitter to 13-Year Olds, The Bee Limit, Don’t Worry About the Glasses, Un-BiebedFairness West Virginia: https://fairnesswv.org/

The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed Travis insists. He's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening What's up, you cool, baby Precious friendship I could have never seen what was coming for me hangs at the skate park hangs by the beach my life It feels It's better it's better

It's better it's better It's better it's better Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother me an advice show for the Modrin era. I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy I'm Travis the middleist Wow, and I'm Griffin McElroy. You okay, Travis? I've watched the trailer at least six times. I lost count in there It's it has over 11 million views For this fucking thing and it's not just our people It could possibly be just our people watching it 10,000 times

Do we even need to say what it is like what project we're talking about? It's just MVB Yeah, no matter who wins we lose right my tagline for it whether man wins or beam wins We we win actually because we're gonna have a fucking great time watching this flick Yeah, you mind if I just play the trailer in its entirety and I'll kind of describe this is good what's happening This is good. Hey, I'm not I'm not plugged in on Twitter It's it is impossible that there are people out there listening to this who are over this bit, right? No, everyone is still deeply okay. Okay. I guess this trailer roughly 180 times. Okay, cool Okay, so I'll just walk you guys through it and I'll pause where necessary. Okay, okay

All right Okay, we see Bean is in Court he's smashing glass He's burning down buildings And he's in a lot of trouble Okay, so now we're rewinding to the beginning of it. He's a house sitter I

Need everybody To listen to this line delivery when he I guess is leaving like a voicemail for his daughter it is the worst Delivery of a line if you're gonna be negative about this. Well, I don't want to do it. We're not gonna do it Hello, sweet pea. It's dad here. I managed to get a job. It means that we can still go on holiday together Now okay there He's knocked over a statue because he's trying to swat a bee that is staring him dead in his fucking face

And can we see and can we just address like? It's it's a pot pause Can we just address that I feel like the big spoiler has happened just in this trailer and that we know that he is the First aggressor He shoots across the bow first and like and we're supposed to sympathize with this being man I don't think I don't think I actually I would pause it. We are not there is one Shot a very close-up detailed HD shot of the bee Very early on in which I would say the bee is CGI'd very

Sympathetically very cute. Yeah, I look at that face and that's a face that's just like hey I just wanted to say I'm a huge fan Rowan if I could get just like an underground fucking end you this part is not the most comfortable for me I have my hand like on the soundboard and on the play button and everything So if I could just go ahead and make through the next 50 seconds of this bit sure sure sure. Thank you Okay, now I do have to stop there okay hit himself in the knee I He's hit himself in the knee with what crowbar trying to kill the bee now

I don't know how mad you have to be to hit yourself in the knee with a crowbar But it's very it's if you're using if you're picking a bee killing weapon. You don't need something that heavy Bees aren't that big it's good to go sort of like wide and light like a like a racket of some sort I and how I would have to assume he's intoxicated in order to make the play of like I'm just gonna say because even if he had struck The bee yeah, he's still gonna hit his knee underneath right gonna hurt himself Yeah, it's not like the bee moved and that caused the injury pain right the bee would not have absorbed He might have just lived with the pain if it meant ending that oh, I sure and and like rubbing it so deeply into him that he becomes Sorry every shut up

He's trying to get the bee out he's throwing a pill at the bee There's a dog that's destroying stuff and there's a pan on fire and now he's now okay now We do have to talk about the shower sequence. Yes, we do. We do And like I was really hoping really to Christ's in heaven that I would be able to watch this with my kids But if I'm gonna see mr. Bean's fucking dick While I'm trying to watch him in the bug life I don't think that that's something that I'm not ready for my kids to see a British dick, do you know what I mean or a dick of any a dick of any stripe or

convex ass And the way he reacts to the bee is like the bee is pervin on him like all he's just gonna see some dick Yeah Okay, so he's naked in there There's a pretty good chance that in the full show you're gonna see some dick. Yeah He's trying to kill with a racket now, he's using explosives It looks like the bee died, but I can't imagine that's right and the bees flying up his pants and making him dance to a police officer He's trying a plunger that has not worked

I'm going to make that a sound for my soundboard when he says where are you Justin Pothole small pothole here. Hi Travis Pothole. The plunder does work He traps it underneath the plunger. Yeah, and then for some reason Releases it. He can't finish it. He can't all you would have to do is jab the plunger downward Or simply leave it you can murder the bee through inaction once you've trapped the bee underneath the plunger the air supply is limited It's not gonna be able to eat the honey. It needs to eat to live fucking the

Absolute best if one episode was like like he gets it under the plunger, right? And then it episode like cut to black credits the next episode is him with the plunger over the bee in one shot Waiting for it to die just He begins to like converse with the bee right like yeah, you brought this on yourself and like I don't want to listen I'm going through some stuff. I lost my job But I haven't been able to see my daughter on holiday for six years. Yes check this though He lets the bee die Through through just through wasting away inside of the plunger and he's like finally

I'm free and he goes to leave the house and the door is locked from the outside Oh my god, it tunneled out. No, I'm no Rowan Atkinson then died then dies Oh, he's trapped inside. He's trapped. There's a lot of air inside a house though. I'm probably food too Yeah, it takes a while. Okay. Yeah. Now. What are these time for some fan theories? I'm fan theory. Yeah, it's already has fans. You think my fan theory. I got two I watched the trailer six times one. There's no bee. That's great. We don't see anyone else like interact with the bee Right the bee is all in his head So he invented the bee well

Echoing makes it sound like he's just in your house like a separate room. Yeah, it does sound like you're being visited by Famous famous British comic Rowan Atkinson He's hunting you Yeah He's he's after me. Um, I Would also posit this so the bees not real. That's it. Yes. That's where we're at. That's fan theory number one, right? This is a moonlight situation. Here's the bee and the bee is him and all that stuff But also number two right there at the beginning right off the bat

We see in the trailer the judge is like 14 counts of like vehicular You know misconduct or whatever and like arson and all these things and he's like well There was this bee and I think right the way the traditional writing goes. We are to be like yeah He's not the answer What now you're the X. Well, I mean I just saying I've seen movies and TV shows is that he has to convince the judge That's not his fault. It was a bee But I'm sitting here a citizen of the real world thinking even if the judge was like, okay There was a bee sure you're still up on charges of 14 counts. Yeah, they're not gonna like

found in this it because of oh there was a bee cool cool cool I guess I'll let you off this arson charge That would be an amazing if he's like well, there was a bee I mean he's you can't find me a guilty. There was a bee the bee defense, of course Damn it. It's fucked up that this is not interactive Do you know like you know how Netflix does that? I think it should be because it tries to drive you crazy watching and do all this stuff in the trailer And I'm thinking the whole time like that's not how I would do it

Do you know like I see him try to hit it with a crowbar and it's like that's not the weapon I would have chosen give me the option to Control the You hit a bee with a pillow a pillow would fuck it up not kill it But it would definitely damage its membranous wings. Yeah Where how are we sort of balancing in our head the How much we want to watch man versus bee the most amount that's the most amount nothing That's the most yeah, that's most versus. Yeah, be no just Netflix's propensity for elevating some

Ungreat voices. Yeah, no absolutely. I rebalancing this. I'm gonna torment it. Oh My god You think that there's gonna be enough of there's fucking 11 million views on the trailer just that's great That's great. If our audience alone seeds this thing then it's going to You can't stop the signal fucking Ricky Gervais. You fucking ding dong It uh, yeah, I guess this is a good I mean, we have actually been in the this and past we've been in the room with Netflix a couple times To ask him if they wanted to give us large sums of money to make art

They passed think that way that they passed so this is not putative But I do think that that particular stream has rent right that's fine I can't imagine we're gonna be any more reason that flicks Which is fine because I'd give them a piece of my mind right now. Yeah, yeah only ten episodes of man versus me That's the worst thing. Can I say as a platform the worst just I'm glad you brought that up because one of the things I assumed a trailer would reveal is the deep story twists and turns That a ten episode series could play with right? I

Don't want to Apple store interest but moon night had six episodes and there was a fuck ton of story in there, right? I'm watching this trailer and I'm thinking okay, so he okay. He hits his knee with a crowbar. Got it. Got it He takes a shower. Okay. He drives his car bad. He knocks over a statue. Okay. He has a court case. Where's the wait? What's filling up these ten episodes of plot? It's still that is Travis I'm so glad you said it because I'll be damned if I can figure out how this is no, I don't know still cannot them This is ten episode if you told me they were ten minute long episodes

I still be like okay, but still I had a fun idea and I don't know the legality of it But I have also famously endorsed shoplifting in a major way, so this does feel kind of on-brand for me What if we opened up a? single Netflix account uh-huh Upon which one could stream man versus be or I suppose any of the other programs on the Netflix channel I guess it depends on how restrictive you can get with parental controls I want my child Jim or fee to only watch man versus be everything else is far too secular

So we have this Notice the deep religious In the movie we have this one Netflix account and the three of us can share it just to watch man versus be But also we could give it the login information out on the podcast So that anybody could watch man versus be whenever they want to how does that how does that? Got millions of views on the show, but here's the weird thing guys. Yeah from one account. Yeah, God damn it. What? Ah I'm just I know what we have to do and it sucks

I feel like I'm at the Garden of Gethsemane. Yeah, and I'm asking the Lord to take it away from me Like don't don't make me do it dad Don't make me hit me get up on the cross pops. Please don't make me do it What do we have to I know what we I know we have to do and I don't want to do it and once I say it I Can't un-say it a shot-for-shot remake where a shot-for-shot remake of the first episode of man versus man Versus be starting. Yeah, it's a shot-for-shot sweeted remake of Of man versus bees first episode starring us and we actually have to It's so hard. It is so hard for the three of us to get together. Yeah to create

a Un-sort of licensed intellectual property things that will be in any way Lucrative and at the very least won't lose us money in a court battle with Netflix and also let's just use the word watchable Watch watch it. Yeah, it pleasurable. Yeah, I Can we have to right? We have to do it I can't because I'm worried about giving Netflix the like what kind of see how bad it is views well Don't worry. Have we got we're the mr. Pibb to their dr. Pepper. I

Feel like you guys gotta be ready to go. You guys are not appreciating The unity the great sense of unity that could come out of the world sharing one Netflix account Just to watch man versus be I feel like it we jumped over that idea and I thought it was a really really good No, no, no, it's that's extremely powerful I'm saying that has to be step one because you're not gonna get anything out of our remake Mm-hmm, if you're not, you know, like if you haven't seen the original gotta compare it Yeah, we gotta compare now. Let me add this just Griffin just to sweet the pot what everybody can use it But you can only add one thing to the list just cuz I really want to see what uh, you know a couple hundred

No way fuck that honor system honor system gang only man versus be honor system I don't want to get in there and see if people are watching too hot to handle season two. Yeah, I mean No, you're not watching anything else, but I want to see what the algorithms do With yes, so many different people's add adding one thing each to the list and the algorithm's like, I don't know man Zumbos, you want to watch Zumbos? We're gonna have to pay for it with some sort of fucking Like best buy gift card so we don't get our shit completely ripped off by yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hi. Yeah, my name is Justin. I'm calling for some personal information You have stored about me

Um, but I think there's I think this idea has got legs until of course Amanda Sends us a message on slack immediately after hearing this saying that you can't do that You can't even let us spin. She probably will actually Amanda doesn't exactly work the way like real bosses do she'll probably force us to make the man He's not that the cop she is that prevents us from doing things She is the one that forces us to follow through in our dumb shit like smoking an entire car Sometimes like you mentioned goger in a show and a man is like, okay, send the runner to go get a box as a go-ger Or whatever they had to eat go-ger on stage

And that's why we hired are really that we want the image we we basically were like 13 year olds being babysat by a 14 year old there's Responsibility But if an idea is good enough to 14 year olds like, I mean, yeah, we can go but yeah what your friend has fireworks I guess as long as we do it outside, right? That's what we that's what we're going for here. Um, I'm loving this Yeah, okay. Yeah, I'm also okay with posting it to tick tock 30 seconds at a time Yeah, I mean that would be a good account. Yeah, that'd be a hard to parse and that popped up in your algo Well, what happens there because I don't know if you guys have ever seen this

You can do that and it just says like part, you know, 18 or 400 and then you just have to have occasionally Like the the tick tock voiceover bought pop in and be like the man hates the bee Yeah, man, that's over the statue trying to kill the bee for some reason man I'm betting there's a lot of scenes with no dialogue in it So I think we'll be cool sure as long as we do the dialogue ourselves and that is something we that's Remake we could we're gonna need to be cost him early. Yeah, or we could just make one out of like, uh, you know The pipe cleaners and like pom-poms right and it's we just or you know what? We'll save money. We'll do it on a tennis ball, right and paint it green and then we'll put the VFX in later, right?

Or we take oh Or we tennis ball we paint black stripes on it. Oh, that's a female that is now a bee I guess it does depend on how much because we do have that one really emotive scene of the bee Yeah, so I have to see once we watch the first episode now listen I got to tell everyone at home the turnaround time on this is not going to be fun No, it's gonna take us probably the first episode comes out like three weeks and so then it will be Probably 2023 before we're both released. I'm gonna have to get it up within 24 hours. I mean like Jesus Yeah, it's gotta be a quick quick if we teamed up

With every animator we've ever worked how long are these fucking episodes? 16 hours Alright shit, okay. All right, okay. It's gonna be tough Now but to be fair Griffin It's 30 minutes of episode and then 15 and a half hours of black with just the question. What do you think? I think that will be easy to handle 14 hours will link to sign up for draft cake Place your bets on man or be

It is it is wild that they've decided to do each episode After the previous episode goes up and people vote for who they're rooting for and then they'll shoot the next episode I do appreciate that. That's a revolution in filmmaking. It can't be Can I change the subject? It can't be 10 episodes, right? It can't be there's no it can't be Okay, so episode 10 Can be like a reunion style like talking dead Where you know it down with the bee and with being I'm betting episode six is like one of those like clip show episodes Where it's him like remember yeah from the first five episodes of like the times he almost got the bee

It's like a friend comes over and goes so wait tell me again. What happened and then we're just seeing that's what happens at the end Of season episode five somebody's like coming what's been going on So then the next five episodes are just a repeat of the first episodes with him occasionally narrating So then I decided to it needs to be like walking dead is where if you leave the room to go get popcorn You come back and you're like what the fuck is all this now? Who's that guy? Who's this guy with the bat? What's going on? Why is he so angry? We're the zombie angry. Why are there any zombies anymore? Who's pregnant with what now? Versus be versus Godzilla now we're talking. I've reached the I've reached the beat limit. Okay. Oh, here it is Oh, we have to respect it. It's the closest. We've got to a safe word

We got to respect it Travis. Were you about to talk about me versus be after I just established we do have to respect it Okay, no Travis. You're right. You're right. You're right. We're done. Let's play the outro We need another clip of him just saying oh there you are that is that is the most primal it's amazing Okay, how is it 10 episodes long? How is that not the last that has to be the last like Okay, as long as Justin broke it. He has demonstrated. He should not take a child on holiday He is irresponsible. He is not he should not be allowed around other human beings let alone Okay, hates the be limit be limit My husband and I recently moved out of his grandmother's house where we've been living for the last two years without her knowledge

She's a bit of a pack rat. So during our time there were we worked on cleaning out her basement a few months ago She mentioned trying to find some plastic wine glasses with grapes on them Whoops, they used to be in her basement. The problem is we definitely threw those wine glasses out while we were cleaning She has since mentioned these glasses at least five times and said she wants to give them to us for use by our new pool Brothers, what do we do? Do we fess up to having tossed the glasses every time she asked about them? We say hmm. Don't remember seeing them. Maybe they're in the attic She searched the basement multiple times looking for them help us brothers. Oh, what's from spring cleaning in South Jersey? How old is she? She's looking around the basement looking for the glasses like

We're gonna get a lot of mileage out of that one, huh? Um, how old is grandma? It might not be a problem for long Patrick Mackle roll. What? Say we don't talk like that. We don't talk like that Could you come up with the promises plastic? But if you could come up with an undeniable reason for what like oh, they were covered in mold, right? That's always the leak and that's not gonna work. It's plastic, right? But if you can come up with a reason of like, oh, yeah, I saw those

They're cursed or whatever like I don't know what works with plastic you can't the problem is you I was on board with you traveling trying to have a little bit of harmless fun. Uh-huh until I read the line She searched the basement multiple times. Oh, yeah. No, it's too late now It's too late now to do anything where you have had any knowledge that you did not share with your old grandmother Correct because it's mean. Yeah, it's mean now to not share to reveal it later Would be too clear especially since it's a very specific ask like yeah plastic wine glasses with grapes on them That's not like oh the plastic wine glasses with grapes. Oh, you can't do the fake realization later

That was so specific now if you ever if anyone at home ever runs in this to into this again, it's really for them but Say they were broken and you threw them away or that you broke them and threw them away because The thing being broken that's accidental and they're gonna be upset about it But they're gonna be upset that it happened But if you're like oh, I looked at those perfectly good plastic wine glasses with grapes on them and I said this is garbage now Yeah, that's a choice you make and I hit you all with another idea. Okay She comes to you. She says where's those wine glasses with grapes on them?

I it was going to be a very special gift It was a special gift for me and I want to make a special gift for you for the pool times and You look down and you look really guilty and say nothing and then grandma's gonna be like You need to tell me now what has happened and you just look up and you say we We antiques road showed it and You did what and be like I ain't took it I antiques road show because I thought it'd be worth a lot of money And they took it and I sold it and they only do is five dollars and then you gave your grandma five dollars Now Griffin have you watched your antiques road show because that's not how that works

You don't hand it to them and they say okay. Let me see what I can give for it. I'll be right back They're like this is worthless, but I do want them so I'll give you five bucks for it right now You want away? There's not one half of the convention center That's for the shit and the other half of people looking to buy shit and they're like, okay. Hold on one second What's this? It's a tiny porcelain unicorn one second. Okay. I got a tiny porcelain unicorn here What do you guys give it for me? You give me 15 bucks great. Hey, it's worth 15 bucks It's worth whatever someone's willing to pay for I thought you're gonna go with oh grandma bad news I sold the pool to buy you these new guys

But then you don't have the glasses No, I sold the glasses so we can have enough money to move out right there that deck you're standing on that's the glasses That's that door you opened. That's the glasses the couch. That's the glasses. It's everywhere Search up, you know, if you go I'm looking right now on on on Etsy at four plastic wine glasses with great detail How much they're 40 bucks and that's probably I mean, that's not great, but you you're living there That's the panel you've been living there rent-free. I'm not saying you try to replace them I'm saying you say I think it's very sad You can't find these glasses that you want not a lie. That's accurate. Yeah, you know to try to cheer you up

We bought some new some new ones to replace them. Yes. Oh damn, but she's gonna give them to you Okay, okay, that doesn't even make sense what I just here. Let me try this. Let me try this Hey, I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and looking for the glasses But the time spent looking for those glasses could be time we're spending together and that's way more worthwhile to me You need to let the glasses go. Thank you so much grandma for working on the glasses But you know what I'd rather just spend that time with you while we have it left because grandma you're getting older travel Okay, wait. Yeah, sorry. Sorry. No, she doesn't need that stress. Oh, she doesn't need the stress Hey, can we say can we hail the wizard?

Okay starting it. This is a cool one It was sent in by Adrian Cowles back in the fucking game Adrian. Welcome back He put in Cowles. Well, I haven't heard their name in 57 years Adrian Cowles been dead long on for a year. You haven't been around the Cowles police, have you? I wouldn't say that. I'm not a listener of our show. We're still wearing that same letterman's jacket By the side of the road you say. Oh, no When the moon she was full, eh? Oh, no, I wouldn't start for nothing All right, they're not lonely stretch a road out behind the podcast. No, no, no ever no one ever goes back there

Can we it's an old saloon where we make the podcast can we be serious now? Sure, my favorite line from the movie sully starring Tom Hanks. Hey, can we stop farting around man? You hate those birds when I got to fix it. I could quote it all the time What's your favorite sully? The one who is like favorite sully quote. They're like doing the trial for sully This movie beats ass and then they're like and so you should have known you could have made it to the runway and They give him a real hard time in the whole time. So he's just sitting there like mm-hmm Mm-hmm, and then after they finish giving him a shit time He looks up and he's like can we be serious now? It's like, oh you took my breath away Tom Hanks

sully sully first second I thought you we're gonna say that the quote was this movie beats ass and just in the middle of sully Tom Hanks Breaks character looks at the camera. She's like this movie beats your ass. I'm about to drop a dope one This is a dual engine loss at 2,800 feet followed by immediate water landing with 155 cells on board. Yeah, you can't you can't ever change for instance like that. No one so dope anyway Yeah, okay, so that's my favorite deal with the hundred fifty six and here is a question Wiki house anybody drink house. Thank you. It is how to build a memory palace. Thank you. He really does say can we get serious now? Yeah, I know

How many times have we seen sully? It's amazing. I've never seen it. Is it good? Are you kidding me? Whoa? podcast over movies. Sorry guys. I'm busy Travis Travis a hundred fifty five souls No one's ever prepared for anything like that. No one's ever tried for anything. 155 souls is like 30 geese. I Saw him get a shuttle back to earth. I don't care about a plane. Okay. All right So anyway, just a man. It's just he's just a man doing his job. It's sully. Yeah, people do their jobs all the time I'm gonna tell I'm gonna tell girlfriend David. You haven't seen sully and they're gonna fucking flip out There's a lot of movies. I haven't seen that they like yeah, but this one's sully. This is sully. It's a big

I'm a high selling guys. I'm un-solid Travis. Can we be serious now? Yes, okay? One of the most useful memory one of the most useful memory aids was created thousands of years ago by the ancient Greeks and the memory palace and The memory palace a place in your mind where you can store information that you need to remember is still relevant today It's not it's used not only by world record-holding memory champions But also by famous detective Sherlock Holmes with a little hand and Patrick Jane on the mentalist by the way and the mentalist Yes I Can bring up the mentalist for a reason and not just

To make great references to it. I'm halfway through season five guys It fucking kicks ass with a little planning and practice. You can build a memory palace too. So Justin has a memory palace. Did you juice? Yeah, what's it like? Hey, don't be humble man. This is skill that you have. I want to hear about it What kind of let's okay? Why don't we go through the steps and you tell me like how you did your little sick fucking twisted spin on it? Okay, so method one planning your palace choose a place that can be easily visualized as the blueprint for your palace I remember house must be a place or route that you are incredibly familiar with like your childhood home or even your daily commute to work It can be as small as your closet or as large as your entire neighborhood The important thing is that you're able to visualize the place in your head without actually seeing it in real life

What'd you go with juice? I did the Marshall University theater Because I spent so much time there in college and growing up that I thought that it would be a good That's good You can be serious. Can we be serious now? You can't be serious now Travis. Don't you fucking come here and quote Here's the problem guys. It's like I already know what happened. So like spoilers. Yeah I would say spoiled tolly for me using This metric placing me easily visualized and I'm like incredibly cool. I would have to say the gym like the weights Oh, yeah, yeah, the weight bench lifting area of the gym. See for me. I think it's it's probably you don't let me finish

Oh, good. Go ahead. I'm just saying the grit of the bar. Yeah, that's yeah Yeah, okay the way on your fingers wet on the leather. Yeah, I can put a lot of memories into that Yeah, mine's gonna be probably the Jimmy John's I worked at it six months Probably like just the coniment bar just the topping bar. Yeah So now to be fair, I never made a single sandwich in the entire six months. I was there Yeah, I just kept saying I don't know how to do it and they would say like well, there's no time to train you So go work to register. What's this in the lettuce? It's all the state capitals, right? Excellent, excellent. Let me get a sandwich with all the state capitals and the lyrics to every Bruno Mars song. Thank you delicious

Walk through your palace to define a route decide how you'll travel through the palace in your mind rather than just picturing a fixed place For example, instead of just imagining your house imagine how you'd walk through it. Do you enter through the front door? What hallway do you walk down? Begin to practice your route now. We'll make it easier to later memorize later on too. Okay Okay, between all the different weight benches the turbo flex The super flex there's not a lot of great ways to name not gonna use a bow flex No, they don't do those anymore and not after that not after the accident Little sorry at the gym I go to little boy came in try to do the bow flex, but then it shot him through the ceiling

Oh, man, that's a beautiful arrow. Can I tell you that catch 22 the problem here the irony? Yeah, I want to create a memory palace, but I can't remember any location well enough to do it Well, that's yeah, I mean that's can you gosh Can you do a place you kind of remember to create a better memory for your prime? Location, you know, maybe if I do a small location like a bathroom, right? My favorite bathroom. Yeah, that I would choose to use and everywhere possible And that is the memory palace for creating my memory power just a time share for your main place Yeah, that can be cool. I used I use the theater department to learn all to remember all Shakespeare's place

And and you'd be shocked at how rarely that skill is really that useful Can you name them now just use that skill now? So I would you I would close your eyes close your eyes go in the front door You know when you walk in on the dock the loading dock Yeah, the loading dock right actors entrance the crew entrance Yes, you they go through the crew entrance and there's two guys that are holding up flags greeting you as you go up the The two gentlemen friend, okay, because the flags of these okay And then you go up and you're scared when you're on the ramp because there's a little mouse there

Hmm, and I'm like, oh, that's mouse hunt That's taming the show taming the show. So it's a little mouse there. I'm not a shrew. Okay. Go on now And then that also only works for you because you're afraid of mice and sons I would see that mouse and be like what a great day. Oh mouse on this and then there's three of Griffin's sons They're greeting. That's my three times have of a six on their shirt Cuz that's Henry the sixth Part two through this isn't as funny as I thought it would be and then who's that greeting you on the deck? It's well, it's Titus Burgess

He's he's welcoming me in That one doesn't that one doesn't feel specific to the theater because I don't think Titus Burgess ever spent time It's it also. Well, it's just it doesn't it doesn't have to be specific to the theater Yeah, so like you open the door and there's Al Pacino playing Richard the third and he's and he's behind that So I'm gonna here's me walking up the ramp to your theater department And I look at the dock that the loading dock here entrance and there's just like There's just like 30 dudes. Yeah And some are holding flags and some look like my children Titus Burgess is there, which is

There's just like a bunch of dudes here and you look at that and be like, ah, yes All my favorite Shakespeare guys here Can I can I make a small denim that I think might make this easier it might be way too late to adjust Justin's Well, you walk into the building, right? And there's a guy holding 38 books and each of the books is one of Shakespeare's plays and you can read the title on the spine Juice you haven't I imagine use this information a while and maybe you haven't visited the memory palace Is it all covered in cobwebs and skeletons now? Somebody else move in and they're like, oh, sorry, I thought I thought you'd love

I know sometimes it does get a little sticky because I know Titus Burgess is in there somewhere But sometimes I can't I can't find it. We find him. I'm like Hey guys, did we forget to go to the money's own how far past oh shit Griffith. I'm sorry memory palace. We gotta keep you Yeah, right Identify specific that we had an advertorial Promoting ripping off Netflix on mass on such a like a grand scale could be hey guys It's Jesse Thorn here. We did have a couple complaints from advertisers specifically Netflix

Let me see here who has not advertised They called just to say they never ever would Identify specific locations in the palace to store your information think about exactly what you're gonna be putting in your memory Palace whether it's a number name or important dates you need to remember for an exam. You'll show you some arcade games You know, why would you ever need that? Well, I'm imagining and I've always wanted arcade games in my house Okay, you'll store each piece of data in a separate location So you need to identify as many locations as you have data each storage spot needs to be unique so that you don't accidentally Mistake one spot for another just I can't tell if this is an extended bit or not

You having a memory palace? It's real. No, it's not a bit. So is it Travis brought it up? That would be a while. Yeah, that's I got shot So do you like walk into that you turn to the right as you walk into the theater department? There's that little kitchen green room chill spot. You open up the silverware drawer and then there's you know And there's just like a you know Well, I can't think of a single I can't think of a There's a big plate of ham when you go into the green room There's a bunch of people falling all over themselves and like spilling things and it's just a huge mess comedy

There's calm. Thank you. And I shut the door right away because it's like whoa I'm silly that yeah, okay, and then you then you eat a big piece of ham, right? I'm just Beth did this article was a lot sillier to me Before I knew that it was a thing Justin actually did now you feel bad I mean this is as hard as this is a technique. This is a real thing. You have stumbled on is the first Might I say useful with of the cloud useful in so much as It is useful to remember all the plays that would shake spirit or or state capitals I assume I haven't done that right, but like imagine if I had that one's easy

You just imagine yourself walking onto America in Maine yeah, and then you just go kind of zigzag around And I'm like yeah, okay, Maine that's and then I would say whatever it is You have to explore your contiguous United States Memory Palace in real time so people will be like, so what's the what's the capital of Vermont?

It's a podcast mostly about bad movies on maximum fun Do you sometimes wonder whatever happened to the kids at your school who really loved Star Trek? You might remember a kid like me the one who read the Star Trek novels and built starship models I also took music classes to avoid taking gym classes that required showering after but I don't see what that really has to do Or a kid like me I introduced myself to kids at my summer camp one year as Wesley But when the school year started and some of those kids were in my new class I actually had to explain to my friends that I had tried to take on the identity of my favorite Star Trek character

The shame haunts me to this day I'm sure some of those Star Trek fans from your childhood grew up to have interesting and productive lives, but We ended up being podcasters on the greatest discovery You'll hear what happens to two lifelong Star Trek fans who didn't grow up to be great people It just grew up to be people who love jokes as much as they love Trek So listen to our new episodes every week on maximumfun.org or wherever you get your podcasts I Want a munch

Bieber yes, what he's back Bieber's back where'd he go? Bieber's back in big way with a new Tim Horton's collab Wait, is I Is it I thought there was still a Tim Horton's Bieber collab going on it's back, baby It was a limited time off or Tim Biebs are gone. They're a thing of the past You know how you've been missing them and can't find them lately. Well, that's because they're gone When did they go away? I feel like we just talked about like three weeks ago

The first part of the Tim's x Justin Bieber collab was focused on Justin Putting his own spin on his favorite treats of Tim Horton's bite-sized Tim bits donuts for the second collab Justin and Tim's decided to develop a new twist on what the iconic brand is best known for A brewing the perfect cup of coffee. Can I tell you guys something? I'm starting to suspect and I don't want to sound Uh, I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theory person here But I'm starting to suspect that this is actually not born out of a shared love and respect between Justin Bieber and and Tim Horton's but rather some kind of money-making scheme You sound kind of sage. Yeah, I'm gonna try to put this kindly. You sound so fucking stupid. You don't you haven't even heard what he's done

I know but like you are shitting on it. I'm just saying that it's possible money change chance Okay, I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna take you Travis into the process. Okay. That's what I'm gonna do Yeah, open my place. I would love to be proven wrong in product brainstorm. Oh, okay That's what you do when you're working with the tim's team Justin shared that he prefers his coffee on ice Which led to working on a new flavor of tim horton's cold brew Also inspired by a slight sweet tooth and his love for hints of nothing crazy nothing crazy Yeah, a slight sweet tooth and his love for hints of delicious vanilla flavoring in his this is very specific

I mean, I'll give you this very specific Don't put too much vanilla all right. You know, I just want to I wanted to feel like the coffee you walked by a vanilla factory I have always liked vanilla. We couldn't stop at tim babes We needed a babes brew too. This is my This is my beep's voice by the way, we couldn't stop at tim babes We needed a babes brew too and we're bringing both to tim's next month. What both This is a long doing and tim horton's collab has always been a dream of mine Now I do have to say you said that last time and that dream has been realized

Maybe leave a little dream fruit on the tree for the rest of the justin here's the problem, right? He got that and he was like, why don't I feel anything inside? Maybe it's because I need more collab I would say fucking tim watch the throne. I think babes is like slowly taking over from the inside This old tim babes thing is a fucking trojan horse And eventually he's gonna be like for my next collab. We're changing it to bib hortons or whatever and then pretty soon It's just called this is just like shack shack. Yes. Papa johns. Yes Pretty soon. Justin Bieber is gonna plant a phone call where tim hortons at the end word I don't think it's

You remember when shack you remember and a disinformation campaign against papa john What do you want about you absolute maniac? You can't impute the character of shack while unimputing the character of papa john It's the only thing that makes sense No, we've seen it. Have you seen his giant eagle statue of the eagles Committing coitus with a giant eagle statue be a racist man All three tim biebs flavors chocolate white fudge sour cream chocolate chip and birthday cake You know them already. You don't need me to do that birthday cake waffle. You've all got a tattooed on your arm It's we get it. They're all returning to tim's restaurants in canada and the united states along with bebes brew

On june 6th. Hell. Yeah, you can get it if you're in the u.s. Guess and get a five dollar bebes bundle Okay, which is a large bebes brew and a tim pack of tim bebes for five dollars. This has gotten a little distilled They could have been more there could have been more beams in there Like you're filling up your car and it's like i'm gonna need uh 10 gallons of bebes juices for my Is that beams or unbeamed? I got you want an unbeamed? Is that unbeamed? Uh, you want an unbeamed or unbeamed? He puts unbeamed into the radiator to wait. Sorry. I'm so fucking confused

We have bebeam, but it's gonna run you a few bucks more Are we talking bebes bucks or cryptocurrency? Those are the only two things He just has the the usd is replaced. Yeah, that's the only thing we have left Okay, the year 2020 bebes They have merchandise and I need all of it. There's a beanie a fanny pack a tote bag They were developed in collaboration with Justin, which means they held up a picture of it and he's good. Yeah fine No, he tested he took that tote bag to the farmers market and he's like this isn't holding on my ruta bagas

I said 18 ruta bagas tim When guests buy any tim's x justin beaver merch they get 50 off a second item. How's the How's your markup doing? It seems pretty good. They're doing that at a loss man. Bebes is paying out of pocket Tim bebes was a huge success Truly beyond all our expectations and what makes it so great was the authenticity of the partnership That's according to hope bagazi the chief marketing officer for tim hortons Even before the tim bebes collaboration, which there's still sounding very defensive about this Justin that offered share has often shared his fans how he grew up on tim hortons is was obsessed with the brand

That does explain his hit song. I love tiny doughnuts His commitment to working with us to develop a natural and authentic twist on the tim's experience Is what made tim bebes a hit and we know guests are going to love bebes brew and his take on tim's culprit Now Travis, you're about to be even more embarrassed. That's not possible right now because I'm going to play for you the commercial For bebes brew where bebes is the last one in the office just staring at a tank of cold brew Pam Justin, what are you still doing here? Job's not done yet

What do you mean your job's not done yet? I haven't tried the final product Oh No, that takes 16 hours for to steep for it's ready. So we can just you know call you back in 15 hours Yeah, not a chance. I let someone put their lips on the bebes brew before this guy I'm a stan. Okay He's putting that pillow up. Good night, Justin. Don't forget to lock up Okay Dream about timmy's

I will Love you I love you too. Okay I'm glad you said it first Night Man he really loves his tims Try my french vanilla bebes brew for a limited time only at tips It's worth the wait

The fact that they added The fact they added that post script is an act of cowardice. Yeah, if they were A truly brave marketing campaign would have ended it with him Saying I love you to this woman and then just cut to black and it's up to you to figure out what's going on What do you think can I also just say bold to be like, oh, we're in an office What's like a name of a woman who would be in an office pam Great nailed it. Pam was the one from the last commercial travis. It's a recurring character We're invested in their relationship. I ship these two
