Hey, so this is an advice show um, sorry About the inconvenience, but you did show up
Starting point is 00:08:52 Uh, don't complain about this because it was your fault for showing up so early Time for advice. I love to take my dog for walks in our beautiful riverside park He's a good boy and other dogs and people love to meet him I'm fine with this as he's super friendly and loves the attention But i'm socially awkward So I don't know how to interact with the other people who are petting my dog. Do I pet them too? Can I look off into the distance? What are some small talk suggestions for people whose dogs have their noses halfway up my dogs, but
Starting point is 00:09:23 Please help me brothers. That's for mumbling mutt and Memphis. They had to have meant Do I pet their dog too their dog? They could not have meant Pet their pet the flip at the flesh of the human being who's just trying to live their life Next time someone says can I pet your dog say can yeah, absolutely. Can may I pet you? Yeah, and then my dog will pet me and the circle will be complete Your dog gets left out. Fuck your dog. Your dog does not belong here guys. We never get questions This just occurred. We never get questions to start like so my problem is I'm too socially well adjusted I always know what to do in every situation. You know, I have a problem
Starting point is 00:10:04 For one of those lucky people we it takes three of us to figure out what not one normal person might do. I I think What I would do start petting my dog is I would look away and say I'll give you two a moment That's good Just step back and go when you're ready. Yeah, we have no business you and I Can you charge money $20 I was about to say the words $20 $20 my dog Oh, good thing if someone says can I pet your dog say I don't know can you and then you don't have to worry about it Because they won't keep talking to you. No, that's bad face with with a knife. How about this? Okay, yes, you can but you have to promise me that you won't make any wishes promise
Starting point is 00:10:45 They could go really really bad. I've seen some really bad chaotic wishes come after this dog Please you have to promise me you're not wishing anything and you might even in the back of your mind Like I wish I could get some Arby's later And you might think that you've got it airtight and that there is no room for ironic Classic but it's this dog this dog will twist it on you a hundred percent of the time. Please don't use up my dog Which that's the horrors that I bought him um Can you
Starting point is 00:11:12 Pet the dog too and be like wow that is I've never touched this dog do what to it That's even thought of that very good the first show me how you do that show me that get flat hands or closed hands If you were gonna express this dog's anal glands, how would you go about that? Just Can I bet you're done? Yeah, as soon as they touch me like haha yours now and run away You were the last one to touch it. He's your problem now Um, why do you do you love my dog? What are your intentions you love you love my dog. Hey, what are you asking me for ask him? Um
Starting point is 00:11:50 This seems make him ask the dog say can I pet you? Yes, get down there hands and knees and beg Say it in say it in dog tongue not in your filthy human speech the dog only let him pet you back um it's uh Yeah, I it's I mean I feel like there's a certain class of people for whom this is not a bug. It's a feature Yes, where it's like I get to meet lots of other like this is the moment right the ice has been broken This is the moment where they would say like so
Starting point is 00:12:23 Now we've broken the ice. Let's chat like people who seek out. Yeah, this is like a It's like people who are into Like motorcycles and stuff where they just want you to ask them about their motorcycles so that you can ask them like about their motorcycle And be like good good car people regularly have events because I hear them. Yeah, uh where they just park their good cars near each other Yeah, and then they just and they walk around like pretty good pretty good Well, the nice thing about that especially if they have a dog too, right if you have that shared thing You can focus 100 part a percent of the conversation on that thing
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yeah, right it's when it starts to branch out if someone's like and tell me about you The human attached to this dog and I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, but then that's not what this is You've got five like rapid fire questions about dog care like what so We love dogs, right like like but a good conversation started. I don't talk about dogs So I don't know is that I mean you could say like what breed how old are they? Yeah, what's their name if you want throw something like looks like there's some
Starting point is 00:13:31 Oh like she but in there doesn't have to nobody knows nobody Just pick any kind of like classy looking dog. Oh, there is there's some visual in there And then this person this person is uncomfortable talking to other people Travis I know that you don't understand this but they're uncomfortable talking to other people And what you want them to do is take a swing and a miss Like to have the awkwardness of getting their dogs breed wrong. No, here's what I'm saying There is no miss, right because here's you're not a dog person There are two things that dog owners love talking about their dogs breed
Starting point is 00:14:04 The correct. Yes, you are right good for noticing or I you would think that but actually either way that person It's the two things that they will talk about The most is if you get it right or get it wrong. Now either way, it doesn't matter It doesn't matter if they do pay your dog a compliment like oh, he's such a precious special baby Look at those toe beans. I want to eat them up. You can say like, yeah But did you did you see Clifford the big red dog movie? Because this dog this dog is good
Starting point is 00:14:37 But in that one you're what are some of your favorite dog in that one the dog is A very unique color and so big that a grown-up can ride on him like a big horse and you can't Do that with my dog. Um, so it's it's a fine It's a fine dog. It is no Clifford the big red dog. No, which now I would I'd trade him for Clifford in a heartbeat I would put this dog above Beethoven though because that dog Messy all right, and I see that look on your face A lot of people get confused by this Beethoven is actually about a dog not about the composer
Starting point is 00:15:13 I know what you're thinking because you see it's a Beethoven movie people think Beethoven is the charles groden character But actually Beethoven a dog is called Beethoven's dog. Yeah And strangely charles groden is called Beethoven's owner and no one's quite sure Where Beethoven exists in there's a middleman we haven't pinned down yet Between charles groden and the dog that connects the two of them. We're not sure But do you think turner and hooch are married in real life? God, I still miss grody every day. I know it's tough. Yeah, they made a series Of successful films off of is a big dog man. I don't know what to tell you
Starting point is 00:15:51 He's a big dog. Sometimes he knocks it over. It is that it is No, it's a genius formula. It's fiverr said that fiverr said man I love it when when charles groden hates stuff Yeah, whenever you ever see if you ever wind that guy up and see him get like really really grumpy Oh, it's good. He puts like a weird manic smile on when he's really mad that if I was there in real person I'd be terrified but we watching I'm just eating my popcorn and loving it They but they pointed this out of black check, but he was in cliffer. You remember cliffer With martin short as a big red fucking dog. Yes. Justin. We talked about it a second ago. No, he's a little white boy
Starting point is 00:16:26 That's what it's called cliford the little white boy Played by the old Uh, I just realized what was the pitch for the cliford movie with martin shorted. No, here's the thing He's a devil. He's a demon child Played by an adult and also charles groden is there. Sorry. It's it's skewing too This is too close to anti martin short talk. We won't know. I would never I would never not abide I would never uh, there's one another question Yeah, because I just discovered that the wiki how I had pulled we have done before
Starting point is 00:16:59 And so I do believe that the wizard is going to be on vacation for this particular episode Well, how about another question that you know what? What you would have noticed that if they had arrived when they were supposed to arrive. Yeah, instead of 20 minutes early You would have had this is their fault My mom and I love to watch shows together. I they actually said like So I'm putting a little yeah. Hey, Justin. How about you don't editorialize? They're still getting to know each other My mom and I like to watch shows together and recently What if the question was like my mom and I like to watch shows together
Starting point is 00:17:35 Can you guys recommend several new shows that you've been enjoying? No jokes and jokes out of the room the jokes part is the word to talk about what if they were just like What shows? What are you guys watching right now? Don't make bits about it. Don't describe it too much. Just say like the name I've been watching resident alien. It's good Do you have friends that when you see them at a party you only talk about the shows you've been watching? Yeah, and once you once you have gone through all the shows you've been watching you get this feeling like I don't know this person very well
Starting point is 00:18:05 I'm an adult. Of course. I have those people. I don't think we have that much in common Now that I think about oh, it's fun when you find out they also like board games or something And it's like well if you played this board game and that opens up another 20 to 30 minutes of conversation Yeah, and at that point you feel okay about leaving the party you've been there long enough 40 minutes Is a good amount of time at that point Do you want to read more than the first five words of this question? Yeah, I was just making some conversation for the podcast sorry um
Starting point is 00:18:34 Let's see now you got me on Recently we've been watching the great british bake off nice We invited my dad to come watch with us and ever since he's been watching it often Every time I go downstairs. He's watching it. I heard him step till one in the morning last night watching it He said he couldn't pick me up from school today, and I had to get a ride from a friend And when I got home he was watching it Should I interfere? That's from baffled by bakeoff in ohio. Oh, he found something wow I miss this feeling. Oh, when you find something don't you oh you find a show
Starting point is 00:19:07 There's so many of them. Yeah, and you could just watch all of them if you want god I miss that also for it to be great british bake off in this day and age. Oh the joy the serotonin You're in you're in for some pivots. You need to be a yeah But I mean imagine if you got him on to like uh breaking bad and it's just like I'm worried about the influences Is going to have on my dad but great british bake off the worst thing is going to happen You got some more big goods in the house now. He might start affecting a british accent Yeah, and we love that it it the thing with breaking bad is it doesn't have paul hollywood sir paul hollywood's just like cerulean
Starting point is 00:19:46 Pools that you just went that he just shoots his sex beams out of the tv Have you not seen the supercuts of all the times when uh, welterwhite finished making a batch and paul hollywood Step in and try it and back. It's a good bake and shake his hand Do you remember that? Yeah, it happened like a hundred times. You would pick up some of that crunchy that crunchy rock And you'd like eat a big rock of it and he'd be like it's a little soggy in the bottom And then he'd be like zeep-zop zubidy borp. I don't know what you do when you have done milk I don't I've not done that and I don't really know I don't know what it's like like I can imagine what doing other drugs is like but meth
Starting point is 00:20:24 I assume you just go like And it turns you into like a alien man. It turns you into an andy samberg character. Yeah, yeah This is fine as long as it does lead to getting goods baked for you Because that is the outcome so often with with great british break off. It's also a good Uh, uh, it's a good onboarding to like task master, which is another good one. You want to watch together No, now you're just doing the thing that we said we wanted. I know But I wanted to do it now. There is a okay There is a cd underbelly of possible outcome of him watching too much of this
Starting point is 00:21:00 It's like next family get together grandma brings that a little pie. He takes a bite. He's like soggy bottom It shoves it away, right where he's oh and he's like you call this a scone I'm like throws it back in her face like prude did that one time You know that kind of thing or he's like oh you guys hear about bin gate and it's like that. We can't keep bringing up In gate it's been a long time that kind that's the downside that is I I will say that I do enjoy On a whole baked goods less Because now I know what to look for what they could have been
Starting point is 00:21:32 Yeah, like when I eat a bread and it's like super chewy Before I knew anything I was like oh chewy bread, but now I know like they didn't prove it They didn't prove it enough they didn't prove the yeast they improve the existence of bread No, I I'm glad now because just from watching great rich bake off I've been able to add the word claggy into my vocab and I don't know what it means And I don't think they do either But it seems like a good way to really put down someone's baking. She's like it's a big Claggy is a little stodgy
Starting point is 00:22:04 You don't have to interfere. You don't have to intercede. Just let me enjoy the baking Maybe set a timer so he doesn't stay up till one o'clock or miss picking up from school I I I do. Okay. I love cooking shows. I love great Jewish break off. I mean, I love Zumbos best desserts I love is it cake sweet genius with Ron Ben Israel Uh, is it cake? But the other ones I love And uh, I I'm hard on is it cake because there was a version called eye candy starring josh groban on roku
Starting point is 00:22:37 What was a quibi and then it was on right anyway, sorry Doesn't have anything to do with anything Is it possible your father is obsessed just with the episode where they had to make cake busts of famous people And someone may be nightmare tom de long I love those shows. I have never felt like I gotta fucking watch the next one really I gotta see what happens next. It's the reason I did a watch the long podcast called bacon Uh, I think it's the last two seasons. That's how we feel when we watch it. We have watched uh the season
Starting point is 00:23:09 Uh, like the first season that aired on netflix. We watched that shit. Uh, uh, like once a month We watched that same series over and over again I feel bad that the wizard let us down this week. Yeah, it is a little sad, isn't it? Do you guys want to learn how to fight with us? Hey, we're recording this on uh, september 1st griffin Don't monthly observance. Do not do this to me. Aren't you guys curious? What kind of months it's gonna be in september? I'm so curious God dang it Yeah, so we got some special month observances
Starting point is 00:23:41 To do happy september happy september first everybody Did you know that this is the month if if you do have a new fall hat? That you are excited about it is fall hat month No, it's not fall is here. It's getting colder. So it's time to break out the head gear. It's fall hat month During fall hat months switch out of the cool weather head protection And into stylish felt and fabric styles. No period on the end of that sense. No period. Just laying it all out there someone was murdered writing that first paragraph and somebody hopped back in
Starting point is 00:24:16 For the next paragraph hats were probably one of the first items of clothing found among primitive humankind What so Where are we going with this? That can't possibly be right when we're walking around with our butt and gooch and Privates just out and someone's like I have to get my hair hidden birds and bugs keep getting in there um So it's fall hat month everybody and
Starting point is 00:24:42 I guess hats have played an impressive role in human history presumably us president William Henry Harrison died shortly after his inaugural dress because he refused to wear a cap on that cold nasty day Now hold on just as was it just if my man's had had A nice derby on he would still be with us today is what you're saying you can't prove that you can't prove that you assume But there's no way to prove that It wasn't a magic hat that a witch gave him and said as long as you wear this you'll never get sick You don't know No, I refuse to
Starting point is 00:25:17 But what if it was no no no no i'm closing this what if it was a magic hat they give all presidents Better breakfast month better breakfast on you judgment till you don't know what i'm eating You don't know baby. I can't get better. Hey, you can always get better. I'm looking at a picture It looks like it has seven banana slices and some chia seeds. No, thank you That's it. No, thank you any breakfast be better than that. That can't be it That can't be i've seen pictures of a balanced breakfast and they didn't contain chia seeds It contained frosty flakes a glass of milk and orange juice for some reason. Yeah, it toast If I ate a balanced breakfast as recommended by cereal commercials
Starting point is 00:25:57 I would be on the toilet until lunchtime. It's so much fucking food It's so much food. It's milk and orange juice Do you want me to do the orange juice also? It is in a picture Did I did I need did I wait did I take the extra minute to get out a picture and fill my kid's picture with juice to order breakfast month decant your juice for your dirt Decant your juice and give your kids These fucking hard hardened charcoal tablets to enjoy with their seven banana slices Can we go back to uh as long as we're talking about can we go back to original fruit loop recipe, please

I'm an adult now and I would like to make these decisions for you. They did they don't okay You're saying a lot of wild stuff. They did go back to the original tricks. Look people hated the no artificial colors Thank you. So you're covered there. Thank you. Awesome. Save your photos save your photos month save your photos month Now in case of I guess a storm That comes to try to take your photos away. I guess put them in the cloud that that one doesn't feel like it needs
Starting point is 00:27:18 That won't take me out. I don't have the urgency of spending a month doing that um I'm almost certain we've talked about international update your resume month, which like for us would be kind of I don't want I don't want the two of you to ever update your resumes because that would affect me That would have implications for me and my life If I find out the two of you are updating your resume I would probably quit first Just so you don't get the satisfaction of pulling the rug out from me

Starting point is 00:44:18 And sit in front of the big tv screen. I say they're about to shoot that shit right up into outer space It's got nobody on it, which is wasteful It's like do you see cars on the highway with no one in them emissions much And I was my class was psyched and then the last minute they were like something was wrong with one of the engines So we didn't do it and it's like no one's in the rocket if it does a big explode My class is gonna talk like remember that forever and talk now I didn't know there was no one in it and that actually explains to me why they were so candid about The engine problem because you know if that's a manned mission. They don't just say like we had engine
Starting point is 00:44:59 They were this close Right. Well because then shuffled a few there was a big whoopsy that devin should have caught and he didn't And if that shit had gone up there, it would have been yikes city end of astronauts Imagine being an astronaut who's like on that and they're like, yeah, we had a lot of mechanical issues But it'll be fine by tomorrow get ready to go and you're like what no It is still kind of hilarious. I understand what happens. I'm basically I've watched a lot of different movies But it is kind of funny that we're gonna black like blast a rocket into the sky
Starting point is 00:45:37 It's cost like billions of dollars To get to this point and then it starts raining and everyone's like Fuck No, no, no, no No, sorry Sorry, we tried to oppose your will with our incredible brains. You win. Is this is it bad for the rocket? No, it's just we wanted that morning glow on it when we took all the pictures And we was like been staging it. We put a bunch of like doilies around it and stuff when the rocket get wet. It looks
Starting point is 00:46:09 So dumb the tear gets really flat The decals get loose. It's it everything is wrinkled There's a lot of steam when the rocket goes If you the wet rock they do that they do that if for takeoff, but they don't do it for landing Yeah, they're never like it's raining go around We're gonna rear out you to phoenix You we've been we've been thwarted Madagascar is dry take a left go the ocean people are watching
Starting point is 00:46:47 Be careful There's a reason they don't fish the rockets out of the ocean once they do go splash smash And that's because they look so fucking stupid. Well, like a wet penis. Yeah, it's a big stupid. It's so stupid so stupid My first job out of college. I ran art groups for teens out of necessity I trained myself into a lot of habits to help maintain boundaries and dissuade unwanted attention One of these things included if I ever need to bend over I did it in the most unflattering way possible Years later. I still have this habit
Starting point is 00:47:19 Problem is I now have a serious girlfriend. I'm afraid I've trained my body to move in this not ironic way forever Brothers And learn to bend over sexy. That's for resting in Rochester All right, that's it takes your it takes a long time to train that out of you Take it from me. I've had to work so hard to drain every bit of sexy out of my body Yeah, it took years it for me. It just took um Oh god, oh Travis dropped his camera Wow, you really dropped it, huh? Yeah. Wow. I feel like I'm watching a colonoscopy for a robot
Starting point is 00:47:57 Wow Wow, you dropped this shit out of that tribe. You still haven't fixed it. It's still he's still trying to fix it It might have come unconnected disconnected. Wow. Wow Well We don't need to see I guess Yeah, we just won't film the rest. Okay. I'm curious. I wish I'd gotten a little bit more Maybe you could share a screen of a picture of you great, uh
Starting point is 00:48:24 If we could have gotten some description of what your unsexy bend over method looks like if that would have been hugely helpful Yeah, I think we can just take the bend and snap from Legally Blonde and do the antithesis of that Yeah, so it's like kind of your squinching down to the side for sure What if you just fall your camp is going one way your knees go the other you just fall to the ground You have to stand back up and but see standing back up in a non-state like what's that look like? I'll The amount of overthinking that went into this is truly humbling
Starting point is 00:48:58 Like I thought I thought that I overthink everything but to be like I'm an art teacher I can't possibly bend over a sexy way if I drop a paintbrush So i'm gonna develop this new I sort of twist my body Sideways a little bit and then I do like if golem was picking up a paintbrush. Yeah, I go down gorilla style, baby And then I get the paintbrush and I stand up so fast that no one could ever look at me and be like that's a That's a erotic pose right there Perfect. I love it. How do you bring it back? The question is not how to undo the sexy. They've done that How do you bring it back? Oh, thank you, Justin?
Starting point is 00:49:33 Thank you for screen sharing a picture of me talking to a microphone. Now you did pick My big beard face. Yeah, I'm sorry, travis. I should have measured your beard length against your current to find the exact Image or maybe you can stop being such a clumsy Fuck and keep your camera on your desk Well, all right, okay Um, I turned it off because I feared I was too sexy and it would distract you guys um, but now I've made me feel terrible about it and I don't know how to turn with so the weird thing is the camera light is on
Starting point is 00:50:06 So it wants to be on You got it. I'm going to go over to bnh.com and see if they got manuals And I will I will get back. All right, and then all how about this you guys do that and I'll do the show You guys go do some other thing and I'll do the show people are listening to right. I got the orb right in front of me It's not it's not my fault griffin. We weren't ready. Okay, right? Travis would have had his camera in the perfect place So secure. Yeah, all of this would be all set up already. Yeah, we weren't ready for so the bnh snap, you know Look at that picture. You know about so good. Yeah about how to bend over sexy. A lot people think you're eating a mouse
Starting point is 00:50:43 Won't tell you wow that you have you gotta squish your butt cheeks together With your hands Oh To get a sexy bend going to do a sexy bend if you can't squish your butt cheeks together using just butt Muscle it's okay to use your I I'll write you a note that says it's okay So you make it that's all right a note that says it's okay for you to use your hands to squish your butt cheeks together Like a doctor's note. And so when you're your partner is like, why did you do that? I mean, it looks great
Starting point is 00:51:14 But did you need to use your hands? You can show them the note that says griffin said it's okay for me to do it Like that griffin said it's actually very important and fine. I would also say, uh, you know what makes everything sexy What's that doing it a little slower so the slower you can bend over and stand back up the slower you can do it Yeah, the also more eye contact. So slow lots of eye contact And now that's gonna be harder if they're behind you you gotta turn behind so slow slow quick quick slow Yeah, no no no slow quick slow slow quick and the whole time just push them What push them together with your hands push them together with your hands eye contact No matter where they are in the room if they move around you stay locked in on them the whole time
Starting point is 00:51:57 And when when you're picking the thing up you have to say, oh, there it is Every time make sure you see like okay lock into the object first and then make eye contact Because you don't want to whiff on it a couple times because then you're gonna be like, oh, there no, oh there Oh, there it is. Can you tear your pants and make it seem like an accident? Oh to get it all out Yeah How do you sorry? How do you mean tear your pants and make it look like an accident? Well, you're already holding your butt Yeah, yeah, well, they're gonna know they're gonna think you tore your pants with your hands, which is not
