Oh this guy over here. I'm in the middle. It's brother Travis McElroy I gotta take my socks off. Whoa guy can't can't sleep in socks can't do podcast in socks It's Griffin McElroy. You know Griffin. I do that too. Yeah, and Sometimes I only make it through one song as I'm like recording to go for one song and then I'm out in the house That's my wife. My wife is like, where's your other socks? I don't know, baby
Starting point is 00:01:41 We all have these ceremonies. Don't we we all we all have these rituals Don't we to make this don't make a human being ants marching. You know, yeah We we yeah for sure Dueling days, baby. Oh shit. We didn't do that before. Sorry one of our rituals is that we do sing We call it Dueling Dave's Yeah, we accidentally did it on stage one time. We had to pay mr. Matthews in his outfit $50,000. Yeah Hey guys, can I just say normally we talk before the show about what our introduction is gonna be
Starting point is 00:02:23 but I don't even think that we That we need to do that this because there has been Such knit while I will say this because it we didn't talk about it. We are recording. So this is So we might as well lean into it. No, do you guys realize that Within a week-long span we the house of my brother my brother and me are getting a A Quantum leap reboot. Yeah, sure and the Santa Claus reboot both of those Franchet ones an announcement ones a release both in one week. Are you kidding me over here cup runneth?
Starting point is 00:03:03 What do you want to talk about the fact that you're making more quantum leaves that may or may not have a gushy presence? Well, it'll be there Justin. It might be an undercurrent it might be implied gushy. I mean, I'll say this I'm watching If I'm watching. Yeah, he's very deeply in love with that But if I'm watching quantum leap Mondays on NBC, you know, there's gonna be a Gushy presence Know what I'm saying your your wife Rachel is a quantum leap Abacula fan freak for her did her reaction
Starting point is 00:03:41 Is there any way her reaction could to hearing about the reboot could have lived up to your expectations? For the thrill that she would experience is having the quantum leap project back in full operation I think we have yet to watch it. She is I think suspended in a state of terror That it won't it won't hit, you know that it won't that it won't be gushy enough And it won't be good enough or maybe they'll mess up the legacy like someone will bring up Dr. Sam Beck and he's I actually he was in prison Yeah entire life for him yeah, and he's a monster what if what if they combined the two What if they're in a shared universe and at one point the both the quantum leap shows?
Starting point is 00:04:25 I mean, I hope so that would be wild if two different people figured that out No, Justin the new leapest leaves into the Santa Claus the leper Yeah, thank you the leper jumps into The body of the Santa Claus that's funny and he's so he's like beating the shit out of Martin Shorts Jack Frost and then he like wakes up and he's just killed What he must think is the real Martin short and then yeah, and then he's like whoopsie Which is the new thing yes in the reboot And then you get that if that theme song if that same theme song is not just a soaring
Starting point is 00:05:08 Skapskid it do then there's the then there's God is Dead and that's what I'll say about that's all that's my only thing that I'll say about it Let's talk about Santa Claus is though because I think we held off long enough That was a good discussion of quantum leap But I think everybody here wants to talk about the Santa Claus is coming to Disney Plus. It is a series There's so much meat on the bone it could be you and in one So this this show yeah show of the Santa Claus is is about like a Santa is talking in the trailer for this we see him talking to Peyton Manning about becoming Santa Claus
Starting point is 00:05:59 But what he means is like a game designer He meets like a game designer who comes up to the North Pole with his family and I think he So he's he announced he's looking for a replacement. So like I know I know What the Santa Claus is about my laws if it's about whoever kills Santa takes over a Santa That's not a goofy came up with for the show. That's what happens in movie is Tim Allen actually kills Santa And then he has to be Santa forever. So Travis if I may what what this show is about is about Santa Claus Manning to be the one that kills it. I think yeah Well, he's talking about becoming a Santa. I'm on I'm on all the Santa Claus forums as you know and our theory
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, what we're talking about is the possibility of he's arranged some kind of like flatlining scenario Where it's like I will die for a moment Medically don't be medically brain dead and then you're gonna resuscitate me But the moment will have passed you'll be the Santa Claus and I'll be free to go back to being a shithead Shit head Scott Calvin free from this horrible morality curse that I was given I can go back for like voting for Trump and just like loving Conservative politics, it doesn't work though. What we get is two Santas One's a regular Santa and the other's a demented Santa that can remember hell and yeah is I don't like that at all
Starting point is 00:07:27 I do like that though. I if this show is just I'm guessing it's not Timothy. I'm getting Yeah, it is Timothy. Okay, so this show is they already took Buzz Lightyear away from in Griffin They're not gonna take Santa to you. It's got Laura San Gicomo as a Christmas witch. It says here. We do like that But oh, I wanted to say a thing go say your thing. I want to hear it Griffin if this show is just Timothy Allen trying to trick Peyton Manning into killing him for It's for a 12 episode season if it's just Peyton Manning starts his car And he turns on the rear view camera and sees Tim Allen just lying behind his car. He's like, oh not There's so many houses and the presents are so big he stands up
Starting point is 00:08:17 He's like oh you got me this time Peyton and then when Peyton pulls out in the driveway Tim Allen tries to throw himself in front Of the car like you're gonna make me late for football practice Is it Peyton Manning asked himself? Yeah It's Peyton Manning asked himself and Santa's like, please kill me. You could throw it That's the only way he could become Santa the only way he could take over. Here's what Tim here's what Timbo said about this at the D23 Expo I need money Please
Starting point is 00:08:49 Hilariously due to the confluence of Buzz Light. I mean they're out of the Buzz Lightyear business He can still be Santa. There's a new Buzz Lightyear in town, but Timbo's still I guess that they're they're working it out Here's the quote from Tim You people made me said Allen when you asked where he decided to reprise the character We thought about this for a long time The only way I would do this is if they answer some of the background they answer the questions Yeah, yeah, sure what Tim is saying is like that he's adds you guys are gonna dig it. So what he's saying is like He wants to get into the mythos that's the only way
Starting point is 00:09:28 Really dig it into the dirt of Santa I'll give you some hard examples that are literally from this article among the questions will be answered are why Mrs. Claus doesn't have a first name The history of Santa hold on wait is that syntax? Good The sentences among the questions that will be answered are why Mrs. Claus doesn't have a first okay, okay, okay the history of Santa and Whether there has been any human children at the North Pole
Starting point is 00:09:59 Well, first of all, yes, yes, we already know cuz Max is there in like the first episode episode movie But also hey, hey, I think of them as episodes there long episodes to the Santa Claus is a 12 episode series Pretty bold that the Santa Claus which don't get me wrong has already established the murder lineage lore is like hey I think we're the ones who should put this in our hands We've already established it goes Santa to Santa through bloodshed We're gonna talk about why Mrs. Claus doesn't get a first name and you know Timbo with all of his open-minded progressive values is definitely gonna do a delicate job Handling why his wife doesn't get a first name
Starting point is 00:10:43 Yeah, he's gonna do he's gonna be fucking funny. I think we're all are we ready? Are we ready? The balls in our court Well, they canceled last man standing because of his conservative values as far as he's concerned Right, and then Disney was like, you know what? We've actually been a little too progressive lately been getting a lot of good press for that Let's rope in some of those guys. Let's bring in some of your Fellows, oh, you know, they're gonna be deep and and rambunctious these
Starting point is 00:11:28 These Santa grunts. Oh, yeah, man Now a Santa grunts the sound he's gonna make are the fans of the Santa Claus. Okay, that's all the that's actually as much as I can gin up Pretending to enjoy I will just hand closing Happy David Krumholtz is working. Yes for you David Krumholtz agreed there everyone make David Krumholtz work more No matter what he says and no matter what the work is just make David Krumholtz work for you Hey, it's time for nature to start healing itself make David Krumholtz work for you Too long have you worked for David Krumholtz digging up his movies watching them Now it's time for him to return the favor David Krumholtz has a van and he's ready to work
Starting point is 00:12:18 I work in IT for a local bank outside of work. I wear hats baseball caps or snapbacks I Think of snapbacks as baseball caps, but I'm trying to make this anyway every day hats are not not allowed her or corporate dress code But my boss seems pretty chill and I think as long as I get my work done She maybe wouldn't care can I start wearing a hat to work or is there a way I could test the waters before fully committing? That's from uncovered in Utah County Can we Just
Starting point is 00:12:52 overthrow This whole thing. Yeah hats. It's time Right if if we we've been doing this for a while Yeah, and I like to think of the work as being important It bums me out that someone has to ask if they could please wear a hat to work That feels like it's it is your head and unless I I don't know what unless you're a dentist Like if I look up at my dentist is wearing like an ashton kutcher Like Von Dutch like a Von Dutch Ed Hardy hat or he's wearing like a fedora
Starting point is 00:13:36 I'm gonna say if you're in the medical field keep it Bear up there It literally anything else No, you're there. That's incorrect. Okay, let's really put this in a test griffin if you want to talk about it If you got okay, sure you go to memos funeral. There's a field director. Thank you so much for coming Please ignore my federal body inspector Now hold on okay, there's a difference I would say any any any sorry about my hat I love the Chargers my dad's from San Diego
Starting point is 00:14:06 I got no but this is a perception thing Justin I'm not an inherent thing because I think what griffin saying is if we swung at it hard, right? Yes, there would be some Adjustment period right where you'd be like, I think we're gonna have but then after let's say two years Maybe it's fine funeral. This is like a really long funeral. Why have I been there for two years? Well, no, some funerals are gonna fall by the way side some funerals You're gonna have to put in the L column at first yet I'm wedding as first that'll be all anybody talks about and then it's like so commonplace For funeral directors to be wearing baseball caps
Starting point is 00:14:43 Do we have one industry at a time or do we just have to accept that? There's gonna be a month or two of utter calamity As we all adjust to the new normal Except except for dentist no Disagree right now. No, I want the hat put the hair That's what I'm saying get it behind you because here's the thing griffin what you're ignoring And I think everybody who outlaws baseball caps is ignoring is the baseball cap as a prop because imagine this the dentist comes in They got their hand on and then they look at you and they're like, all right turn it backwards turn it around
Starting point is 00:15:14 Get down to business. Yeah, and you're like, oh fuck This is serious or like the tip of the cap or they like doff it There's can't have a bill if you're dentist cuz you're gonna they have this big gnarly light I don't know if you guys been to one, but they got a big light. It's been a minute. Yeah, I've been a little bit, right? That was a minute. I'm gonna eat a dentist. I need a dentist to look at my teeth Hey, what's my dog? Oh, man. Never. I my daughter. I took with our the dentist recently and Charlie I Had a cavity a man. I felt like such a turd cuz yeah, I like it kids that's on you. You know, it's not them
Starting point is 00:15:50 It's not them. I've been using COVID-19 as a reason to not have to go to the dentist But then like the further we get obviously it's still clear and present danger But it it's hard to look at the 19 in that and not go like it's been three years I Should get someone to get in there and sort of do some stuff. I love going to the dentist Love going to the next watch. Okay. Well, let's say that this is a question about baseball cap So inevitably we've ended up talking about Travis's feeling on dentist In fact, you know what? Oh my god
Starting point is 00:16:21 I use my old older brother Vito power to say I don't want to hear your feelings about dentists Okay, what do you think can I get a quorum? Yeah, we have a cool. Okay. That's better. That's fair. No. Oh bad news I've just been captivated by curiosity about Travis is feeling on dentists and when he denied me now It's all I can think about. I like the professional certainty of this is the cleanest your teeth could possibly be if it were up to me I go to the dentist once a month because listen I know myself even when I'm doing my quip two minute brush every four sides. Don't give them free There's no way I'm doing as good a job as someone who professionally studied to make my teeth Or you're like god, these feel so clean. How was I content?
Starting point is 00:17:02 How was I content? There's more space between the teeth somehow. How the fuck did you do that? Anyways, yeah I'm just saying dentists or magicians clip hasn't actually sponsored us in a minute So if we could actually say more stuff about equip, I'm just saying clip is great This is a new trip. This is a new technique. I'm working on yeah catch more flies with honey Also Doing the ads first Yeah, maybe they pay you for a maybe we break them off a sample of it And then if they like the sample they can come have more we had an idea wants to do well
Starting point is 00:17:36 I had an idea nobody liked it to do a Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom sponsored episode and then ask for ask Universal for the money afterwards They do the episode celebrate it give all the plugs, but then just be like whatever you think is fair. Yeah You know, I think I think would be a good system The aspect of this question that I think we haven't touched on that I really want to dive into is how do they? Ramp up to wearing a hat Right, do they just dive in one day come in wearing a hat and like wait for the boss to say something Or is there a way to be like oh that hat?
Starting point is 00:18:13 I don't know how that got here. I guess I could put it on wouldn't that be weird some like is there a way? To dance around it engage your boss's reaction. I mean, okay, so you could come in there is an escalation here that we haven't addressed which is Start with a fascinator little guy, and then maybe if it's I mean, it's pretty maybe Appropriate it but like a yarmulke just Appropriated I know I can't imagine why the area of the head maybe and then you work your way up to like a toboggan Or a beanie what what have you and then like, you know, maybe Come in wearing a baseball cap, but the bill is only like one inch deep and then you just a real chode of a
Starting point is 00:19:02 Showed and then you just expand. Holy shit. Is it okay when we talk about merch? We usually talk about Designs that go on merch. We don't talk about bold new Directions in hat technology. Yeah, if we're innovating I'm talking about a baseball cap a Chode ball cap but with a just a one inch front brim that just bear it doesn't do anything But you can wear it as a transition
Starting point is 00:19:33 Into a full baseball cap lifestyle There's a person a very good person named Sarah McKay whose job it is to Listen to the things we say and then turn them into Physical objects like she's alchemy like alco yes It's incredible if you've bought anything from us in the past couple years You have that Sarah McKay thing I can only imagine the terror in her deep down in her bones Hearing us say like in any way it's a baseball cap with a chode
Starting point is 00:20:00 You sort of build anyway because in her mind there's a timer and it's like if they talk about this for 10 more minutes It's going to heaven. So I need to I hope please God let's him get distracted. Okay, it's alternately Oh, man, I'll come in with a huge. Yes Huge fucking hat same page same page same page and then they're like you can't wear that like I have this smaller one I could wear it just says like it's the words opening offer or printed in like yeah Yeah, it's up like this is my the beginning of negotiations This is what I call a turbo sombrero And if you want if you don't like this because I'm hitting people in the office with it every time I move my head around
Starting point is 00:20:40 Maybe you'd find this more except no, how about this show? How about this chode ball cap? I do gosh. This is so embarrassed. I do well. I do have one thing I do have one more that you might one more that you might enjoy. You heard about these I have one for you, too Do you like podcasts? Only chode ball caps have them my brother You know, they're good quality. Don't get don't get store brand chode ball caps What imagine being a hateful person that just had a regular red hat and think of Here's the problem customize it if we invent the chode ball cap
Starting point is 00:21:17 We're gonna have to invent chode ball and I don't think maybe that's just baseball book. The bat is Matt Trey if you're listening the base Maybe it's here. Maybe it's I know you guys like the word chode You've said it a lot Having the last five minutes and guys if you're not sold yet How's this a you chode balls and now now we've now that's jokes on jokes on jokes We like it. Hey, how about a wizard Lee? Approach to things Chloe sent this one in things like it's it's a wiki how article and
Starting point is 00:21:55 It is how to scat How to scat Scatting or scat singing is when you sing nonsense No one's ever said scat singing in their entire feel confident enough to say that no probably not It's the ultimate creative spontaneous expression for a vocalist allowing them to play on melodies and solos You can't have in pre-written lyrics. I could pre-write a scat. I bet Okay, oh, yeah, I'm just saying I could sit down at the typewriter and just be like scoot Boop-boop scoop scoop boop-boop
Starting point is 00:22:30 Skate up. I'm gonna start with a scat. Okay, listen to the whole article like and see if we can improve it Okay, no, I'm gonna stop you already. I'm gonna stop you already. Okay. Don't say scooby-dee Well, no, you just did the intro to I'm the scat man. Okay, okay? Let me try Okay, so now we're doing Scatman Okay There's a lot of room
Starting point is 00:23:07 You did get dangerously close to the corn riff again, which boys I'm pretty sure every episode for the last like five episodes has had a heap and help in a corn I need to get that on my soundboard. Don't I? Yeah, okay, so So getting used to scatting. Scoop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop do. There's too many beats. There's too many. No, you're just saying boo.
Starting point is 00:23:32 We're also doing Fraggle Rock. Okay, getting used to scatting. Use improvised syllables and sounds to scat over instrumental tracks. That's fun because it doesn't even say, over songs, it says instrumental tracks. So you could take, the Moonlight Sonata and just be like Scoop.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Scoop. Doop. Scoop! Scoodoo, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. If that's where you need to start, you got to start with a look- Scoop. Scoop.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Scoop. Scoop. Scoot-a-doop-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. I think you guys are saying, I think you guys are saying boop, like way too much. Too much, really? I feel like too much?
Starting point is 00:24:10 Like way, way, way to much. Get Due debat, do-de-dam, do-de-dam, e-de-dam. No, you're saying Due debat, You're right, I'm just saying duty that over again. You're right, you're right, you're right. Practice call and response with scat singers and instrumental lines, I like that. The problem is they don't always leave room for-
Starting point is 00:24:27 You gotta pause it. Yeah, so you turn on scat man and you hit to it that school. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you pause it and you're like, there's no fucking way. No way. There's just, he was so fast.
Starting point is 00:24:39 There is no way I do that. Is what they're saying like you should play I do regular scat records. And then it's just like, find places to like slip in a little bit? Well, yeah. You get those moments in songs where it's like, scooby-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Scooby-da-da-da-da. You know what I mean? Not a lot of songs these days though. You might have to look for some older ones. They're not throwing that a lot in there. Harold Stylish isn't throwing in a lot of scat breaks, which by the way, I don't wanna give notes because obviously I'm not a musician, but maybe.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Maybe, think about it. Start with simple, rhythmic syllables, focusing on melody instead of new sounds. As you begin improvising your own scattered lines, start with a couple of accepted, in quotes, scat words and syllables. Simple, percussive noises are the easiest way to start. Using sounds like bob, beep, ski, do, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Bob, beep, ski, do, bob, beep, ski, do, bob, beep, ski, do. That's really good, we're improving. Remember that you're not gonna say anything, you're playing with musical notes, not words. Okay. The musical scale made famous in the sound of music is a great place to start, do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do. I'm pretty sure that existed before sound of music,
Starting point is 00:25:52 but I actually don't know. I actually do not know. Are you confident? Okay. Accent, modulate and have fun with your syllables. Do things like, you can change the volume, so you can be like, bop, bop, and then tone, like bop, beep, how do you sound with your-
Starting point is 00:26:06 Do, beep, bop, beep, beep, go. Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Again, do, do, do, do, do, do. Pitch, perhaps the most important pitch is how high or low your notes go as you get used to it. Excuse me? That's what you said, I don't know if I was gonna be
Starting point is 00:26:23 carried to your work or not. No, I'm sorry, that was my theme song for the show, Doug Sirius. I'm Doug Sirius. Practice with a metronome or an instrumental track to help you stay on time. That's fun, I worry you could develop some bad habits that way if you do it with a metronome,
Starting point is 00:26:37 where you just like skip, bop, skip, skip, skip, Skunkies, skunkies. Skinkies, beam. Bob Scoot. Now what about when you're in front of an audience and you're like, all right, everybody clap your hands. Nope. Little faster.
Starting point is 00:26:48 No, two four. Two four please. Two four. Thank you. Yes. Good. If you guys want me to scrap fast, you got to do it 16 time.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip. Introduce a little, okay, so improve your skill. That's kind of like a scatting troll in my hand. Skinkies, skinkies, skinkies. Skinkies, skinkies, skinkies. Introduce a little rhythmic variety with duplets and triplets. Is duplets, I've, is duplets?
Starting point is 00:27:12 That's two of something. Duplets are simply two sounds thrown quickly together, okay? Da-da! And triplets are three sounds, beep-da-bop! Instead of using straight quarter notes where you have one sound per beat, one, two, three, four, start stringing together these other phrases, leaving spaces in between them for a bouncy swingy feel.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Okay, I understand this. So it's sort of like you would say like, goo-goo-ga-ga-ga! Griffin, how's it coming with you? Can we hear, I feel like you've been talking so much, we haven't heard much of yours like. Sure, shoops, got dee-loo-boop-ba-boom, skee-ing-skoo-dee-boop-boop-ba-boop-ba-boop-ba-boop-squay.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Wow! I liked the squay at the end, that was good. The squay was good, I didn't see it coming. Yeah, squay is an advanced, I did a master class on that one. With who? With who? Yeah, who taught it?
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah, please speak on that. Scatman, Crothers. Whoa, you got him? Gotta look at him, he's dead. Quick to see if he's dead, gonna do a quick search Absolutely dead, 100% he's dead. He died before I was born. So then you took a master class
Starting point is 00:28:15 with the ghost of Scatman, Crothers? He was born in 1910, it would be crazy if he was still alive. That was one of the wilder babies. How did you live so long, Scatman, Crothers? Scatting, Scatting is a young- I learned that as long as you, whenever you're scatting, you're not aging. Time doesn't pass.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Just on his death, why did you interrupt me? He turns to dust. The angel of death zooms in through the window and he's just like, skip, skip, skip, skip, go ahead. He's like, shit, I can't get him right now. I'll be back tomorrow. I'll be back tomorrow. He stopped scatting, though.
Starting point is 00:28:56 So, oh, is that it? No, there's a little bit more. Get a little swing behind your scatting, we just did that. Learn the chord progressions to improvise like a jazz singer, that's too much work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd rather music just change to fit what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Right, scat through your vocal solos to bridge classical singing and scatting. That's cool. So, you could be singing like, you know, like, rolling in the deep, skip, skip, gop, gop, skip, gop, gop, gop, gop. I should have picked a song that I knew more than four words from when I started that exercise.
Starting point is 00:29:31 That's a very Jason Mraz move and frankly, I'm here for it. I once saw that dude perform live, 10 minute one song, Jazz Odyssey. It was incredible. Fuck, underappreciated artist. You don't have to yell about Jason Mraz. I just, I really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Mr. Adizida, you know, when he was playing in Huntington, I was directing Children's Theater Production of Superman. He told the audience, hey, go see Superman. I don't know how I knew about that. Yeah, he did, he really, he did that. Mr. Adizida, I appreciate you. Thank you, Mr. Adizida. Let me get a quick Google in here for him real quick.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I think he's okay. Yeah, I think he's not dead. He's alive still, definitely. Yep. Which is a good, sorry. Alive and, okay, looking good, Jason, looking good. Yeah, thank you, Jason. Welcome to the canon.
Starting point is 00:30:22 There's 13. You get the McRoy Brothers temporary stamp approval. Welcome, Jason. We are conducting some more background, deep background work. You have joined the pantheon of 13 different people that we have deemed it okay to joke about. And we should say right now.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Recording this episode, it's 10.57 a.m. Eastern Time, Thursday, September 15th, 2022. Just to hold up the newspaper in front of that statement. Here's some sports scores for events that are happening right now. Get a little weird with tone, voice and coloring. That's fine. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I think that that's obvious though. I think it'd be weird to be like, well, I love singing, singing scat, but I like to keep it pretty vanilla. I don't, to mix it up would be, that would put me out of my comfort zone, frankly. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I mean, you're a novice at scatting.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And so who are you to come in and tell everyone, hey, you're doing it wrong? Let me go, let me show you how it's, how to do it better. Okay, now Justin, now that we've had the full thing and you're warmed up, can we hear where you're at now? Yeah, sure. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. Ski-ba-da-da-da-da-dee-ka-ka-ku-do-be-de-dee-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Ski-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-steeeee. I thought we were about to do a Han and doll watch in the middle of your scat. That was good. That was a thematic reference. That was like a thematic. I was trying to like. It was clever, it was playful.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Yeah, like how you type that down. Way too, way too many bops. Do the bops again, I'm cute. But you can, but it takes, you gotta extend your vocabulary. Okay, let me try it now. Boo, boo, ba ba ba ba boo, boo, ba. Boo, boo, Scooty, Dolly, Scooty, Dolly.
Starting point is 00:32:06 You saw the moment? There are the gummy bears. You saw the moment where Travis realized he had been saying boo-ba for like four whole bars and he was like, I gotta say something else. And he came in with a Scoot-a-ley Scoot. Travis, you need to keep practicing before you do. I'm only on level two.
Starting point is 00:32:24 I'm still singing along with other songs. Yeah, but Justin escalated it during this segment. I don't know why you heard a little bit of it. is good at Justin at Scat and Griffin. We've had this conversation before. You had every opportunity to improve in the same exact way that you did. That was for you to, like, just to hear
Starting point is 00:32:40 these step-by-step instructions. Yeah, that's true. Maybe he walked me through step-by-step, but he did that. And then I did that. Justin, listen, what were you doing? Were you playing video games? No, I was looking up theme songs from Disney cartoons that I could scat along to.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I wish you would take anything seriously. Well, that's not how I live my life. I'm kind of like the Patch Adams of podcasting, it's good. Yeah. Boppy, boppy. Still a lot of beeps and bops, but it's good. It's interesting, it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I'm worried Justin's stuck in Scatting now. Let's go to the money zone. I want to say thank you, a big thank you to Babbel for sponsoring our show.

The things that we really, really love sometimes but also have some problematic feelings about. Yes, we get into it all.

Starting point is 00:38:24 you can check us out at MaximumFun.org. Listen, you know you want it, honey. So come on and get it. Period. Wow. Oh! Yeah. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:38:41 What, where am I? What happened? What? What did happen? What's going on? Who are you two? My name is Dr. Sam Betno. I just think I'm like,
Starting point is 00:38:54 wouldn't it be cool if he quantum leaped in here? How would he explain? He doesn't normally introduce himself He doesn't normally introduce himself like that. I think that would kind of break the concept of the show. This is the first week that he's in. He leaps in and he's like, I'm not the dude. That you would just- I want a munch.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Squad. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. I want to munch. Squad. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Welcome to Munch Squad. It's a podcast within a podcast profiling the latest and greatest in brand eating.
Starting point is 00:39:23 You all got Frito's Gourmet Pops around here, your area? No. Frito's Gourmet Pops? Sorry, it's very confusing. F-R-I-O-S. Lowercase F, if you please. Okay. That sounds like you're saying Frito's,
Starting point is 00:39:37 but you're in a terrible hurry. This fri- Zach's piece, the premium quick service restaurant beloved for its chicken fingers, wings, and legendary Zach's sauce, has partnered with Alabama-based gourmet popsicle brand
Starting point is 00:39:52 Frios to introduce sauce-flavored popsicles. No. Zach's piece, sauce-sicles, will be available for free. I'm assuming they mean from a monetary perspective, they will be free, not from the toll it will take on you as a person. To eat just cold sauce.
Starting point is 00:40:12 The frozen treat will feature two of the brand's boldest sauces, Zach's sauce and tongue torch. Oh. You guys want to see him real quick while we're chatting about this? Give me one sec. I don't know if I actually do. I mean, I guess it's just a popsicle, right? How gnarly could it look?
Starting point is 00:40:32 I'm betting pretty gnarly. I just feel like it looks kind of gnarly. Like, it looks gnarly. No, I mean, these look like normal. I mean, if they didn't say tongue torch. Think about Zach's sauce, though. Like, what would that, think about how much of that flavor you're eating at a popsicle.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I don't think I know what Zach's sauce is. The Zach's sauce-flavored sauce-sicle features all the sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors from the signature blend of spices, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Oh, that's, no, I'm good. I'm all right, actually, without that. The tongue torch sauce-sicle is a mild heat tomato pop
Starting point is 00:41:04 with nuts, garlic, paprika, turmeric, and a hint of lime. Zach's piece is renamed the month of September, Sauce Timber, which I don't think you could just do. That's not a portmanteau. I mean, listen, guys, Congress has been getting stuff done lately. And this seems, this seems like a worthy federal holiday. Oh, we don't work in September.
Starting point is 00:41:26 That's when we think about sauces that we enjoy all day. Zach's piece is celebrating Sauce Timber, which they made up by treating its loyal fan base to this saucy goodness on a stick. The sauce-sicles come packed at eight and are limited to one per person. Can I just stop you there, Trayman, and say, are you telling me this place will give you eight free popsicles?
Starting point is 00:41:48 That's a lot. That's so many. The only way that that works is if they tasted the first one and said, we can't fucking sell this. No, we can't. That doesn't make any sense. We made eight million of these fucking things.
Starting point is 00:42:00 We have to give them away fast. I don't think you can call something that is frozen solid saucy, right? It is inherently- As it melts. No, think about that. As it melts, your hand is just covered in Zach's sauce. Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:42:17 The smell, the very smell. If it gets on your skin, like as you're eating it, that's you all day. You can't wash your hands enough. Here's what's up, though. Like if you go, they'll be available for free on September 19th online through sauce-sicles.com. So if you're like listening to this, like go get some.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Take a picture. You know what I mean? Like, dude, I don't live near Zach's Speeds. It's kind of a road trip treat for me. Like, you know- Good luck. Good luck spelling sauce-sicles, though. Oh, man, go to sauce-sicles.com.
Starting point is 00:42:49 They're like melting in a puddle. Oh, God. And the Zach sauce is like a creamy- Oh, God. Oh, God. I've tried three different spellings of sauce-sicles.com and none of them have gotten me there. Even in this picture, it doesn't say the word.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Yeah. Now, let me tell you how they could have really made something special is if they had called them Zach's Speeds prank-sicles. And then all of a sudden, it's a nice 4th of July BBQ and you have your, you know, nephew, Dilip, who you fucking hate and you're like, enjoy a creamy treat, Dilip.
Starting point is 00:43:26 And, but then he gets the spicy chicken flavor. Well, but now you gotta talk to his dad, Jormie. And you and Jormie have never been really close. Yeah, he's loved it. Can I share one other brief with you all? Please? This just came across my desk. Chipotle to offer garlic guajillo steak in the metaverse
Starting point is 00:43:46 for a limited time. Wait. Did you say in the metaverse? I don't remember. Chipotle Mexican Grill today announced that its new garlic guajillo steak will be available at Chipotle restaurants across the U.S. and Canada and virtually in the metaverse for a limited time.
Starting point is 00:44:02 The brand's latest menu innovation introduces an entirely new flavor profile to Chipotle's menu featuring tender cuts of steak seasoned with the bold flavors of garlic and guajillo peppers. Earlier today, Chipotle became the first restaurant brand to officially unveil a new menu item in the metaverse by debuting garlic guajillo steak through the Chipotle Grill Simulator experience on Roblox.
Starting point is 00:44:27 How? How? And Roblox, you say? Yes. Yes. If you go to roblox.com slash Chipotle, you can visit, you can visit a virtual Chipotle. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:44:41 That should be a trick where like if you do that, your bank just automatically gets notified and shuts down, like closes off your bank accounts. Like you are not responsible enough for this. You can't. You just spent $500 on Roblox to skip a few levels of the Chipotle Abbey. You're done.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Please, you can't. Your money is ours now. We'll give it back to you on Tuesday. This is the government. This is the shadow government. We've come out of hiding. We're worried about you. Even the shadow government is worried about you.
Starting point is 00:45:13 This seems like an infringement upon your rights, but it's good. It's a good one for you. Hello. This is the machines for the matrix. We are waiting you up and we are going to give you a nice chair to sit in. We're very worried about you, battery.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Hey, can we talk? I know we're giant machines or whatever. Yeah. But do you feel like you're making good choices? Worried about you. We're concerned. So that is happening in the metaverse. I don't want to read about the menu innovation.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Garlic, Guajillo steak, prepares a familiar crevability of garlic with the allure of Guajillo. I don't care. Get to the digital Roblox steak. Into an awesome protein with a slight kick. This does sound good though. I'm just starting to feel like I have Roblox on my phone.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I don't. Chipotle premiered its new menu innovation on Roblox today at 7 a.m. PT with Chipotle Grills. The burrito hour. That's what I'm reaching for a burrito. They wanted to make sure they got all those school kids before they had to get to class with those school kids. That's all they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Guys, no, look, all the topics are here. But no way, Derek, no one's ever revealed a new menu item in the metaverse. It just doesn't, it doesn't happen. Hey, can I pull back the curtain a little bit and just be honest for a moment? Is the metaverse just like the way people are referring to like the internet now?
Starting point is 00:46:33 How much longer do we have on the, it looks like we could go about 10 minutes on this. Do you want to try this? Because is the Roblox, I thought the metaverse was just what Zuckerberg was doing. What, how deep does it go? It's, it's what's next. It's not funny.
Starting point is 00:46:49 This is the one thing I'll say. I mean, it's kind of fun. Now Griffin, what are you doing? Are you looking up the metaverse on your phone? I'm on, I'm trying to log into Roblox, but it's been a while. So I don't know my account, my login information. Can I go into the metaverse and eat the steak? Do you have Mark Zuckerberg?
Starting point is 00:47:09 That's true. Can we get Joey Pants to say like, actually the steak of the metaverse is delicious. I told you all. Now, do you have Mark Zuckerberg's special flavor harmonica attachment for the Oculus? Yeah. You do?
Starting point is 00:47:23 It slots right into the bottom and it looks like a regular harmonica, but it's got different flavors inside of it. And then you just suck them out as you, like you'll walk toward the giant burrito in the Chipotle experience and it'll be like suck pepper, suck flour. And then you get like those flavors in your mouth and it's suck beef. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Oh, okay. Juice, thank you. Thank you, Juice. Yeah, of course you have Roblox ready to go. So we just installed Roblox here and now I'm in the virtual Chipotle. So this is the metaverse. So this is the metaverse trap.
Starting point is 00:47:56 God, I wish you guys knew how loud the metaverse is in my ears. The metaverse is so loud. Okay, so I'm at the Chipotle restaurant. There's a, oh, they got a drink fountain. No brains. You are running into. There's a lot of people here.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I'm your fellow Chipotle crew member and I could use your burrito rolling skills. First, let's get you a uniform so you can get started. That's for children. If you own the burritos, you can unlock free exclusive virtual items and earn burrito bucks to purchase it. You have to work in the metaverse. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Well, if you want cool burrito clothes, this is just different uniforms you can buy to work at Chipotle in a game. Okay. You guys ready? Yeah. All right, Justin. This is going to be great. So loud.
Starting point is 00:48:45 There's got to be white rice, white rice, white rice. No, not black beans. White rice. Put that Justin. Okay. Now black beans, black beans. You are going so far. Now, of course, you are like Marhia Steak.
Starting point is 00:48:58 So far so good. Corn, corn, corn, corn, corn. It's rolling past me too fast. Cheese, cheese. Okay. I'll put cheese on it. Now how do I roll? Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Damn it. Fold that shit. Justin, you have one second. Eat your burrito. Okay. I can't watch this anymore. This is too distracting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Oh, close row blocks. Okay. Okay. Okay. Sorry. So loud guys. That's the metaverse. That's the metaverse.
Starting point is 00:49:20 That's what the metaverse is, Travis. That's what the metaverse is. You get to work at Chip, you get to work at Chipotle and not get paid. Well, you get paid in imaginary Chipotle script. Essentially is what we're talking about. And in real life, as your character rolls that in real life, there's a robot somewhere that you're controlling
Starting point is 00:49:36 that's rolling it, right? So like, like in war games. And sometimes they don't even tell the flesh human Chipotle employees that the robot's there. And so there have been countless accidents where the robot thinks it's making a burrito, but really it's like rolling up the bones of the poor Chipotle employee. Based entirely on that information, the metaverse
Starting point is 00:50:01 sucks by launching garlic, Guajillo steak in the metaverse. We're able to share our culinary traditions and real more like culinary and real food proposition with Gen Z says Chris Brandt chief marketing. Desperate person desperate relic through a sheen of sweat. He bellows down the halls for the first time. Fans can discover our latest menu innovation from our head chef with an immersive experience that blends the best of Chipotle's
Starting point is 00:50:36 digital and physical worlds. Our head chef, Cyber Mike. I love burritos. They don't say that this burrito can't exist in real life. They don't say that that it's structurally impossible to make this burrito with a tangible tortilla. It's too heavy, the toppings. I will say though you can unlock virtual items, exclusive virtual
Starting point is 00:51:05 items as I have just done, which includes Chipotle's iconic chef coat, the nom nom aura, and a Guajillo tea. Yeah, you roll up to adopt me wearing one of those. People are going to give you the respect you need that you deserve. So that is what that's what that's web 3.0 trap. So we should we do another question? That's what the metaverse is. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:32 I've recently passed the bar and started working as a business and construction attorney. And overall, I'm very grateful for the opportunity that I've had so far in my career. Thanks. Constellation counselor and. Well, why would they not have one of their there would be? You think there would be?
Starting point is 00:51:47 Okay, here it is. Sorry. However, for the past few years, my real interests have been in space law. Yes. How can I show the world I'm ready to represent the stars? And as a space lawyer, what should my first order of business be? That's from Constellation counselor and Kerry.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Well, hmm, this definitely has to exist. I don't think we should look it up because there's no doubt in my mind because there has to be laws about like launching satellites into space, right? And who can have what up there and how much of the moon we own, which is all of it. The last one I don't know, but there is there is international satellite law.
Starting point is 00:52:26 We got there first and by America standards. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but we got there first. We put a flag on it and historical president says that's ours. Yeah. Yeah. That's I mean, here's the here's the thing about space law. If you and it's definitely wrong, by the way, but just to jump back, putting your flag on something and saying it's mine.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Definitely wrong. We didn't do that. We all share the moon. There's a tree. We all share the moon's all ours. The moon's all ours. No, we can't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:51 But it's mostly but it's mostly I mean, I think of it as a very American celestial body. The thing that the US did that I think that you could model here is if you want to do a space thing, yeah, there's a little omen of fake it till you make it. I think because you're not going up there very much. Nobody is, but we like to act like we are. For example, a little bit ago.
Starting point is 00:53:11 I don't know if you heard, but the America did the United States Space Force and everyone had a very good laugh about that. Like, wow, it's really wild that they want to start a space force and we'll have a lot of fun. There's a different guy in charge now and we kept the space force as far as I know. So I guess we all just kind of like, yeah, I guess we got a
Starting point is 00:53:31 space force now. Yes. It's one of the things that we have is a fleet of guys and gals and people just to defend space. You know, we made the we made the patches that go on there. We already did it. There's a big building for marine. We printed out.
Starting point is 00:53:45 We 3d printed their space marine battle armor. So we can't just throw that away there. And I'm not going to make them like we're not going to fire them. Then you just got a bunch of angry people trained to battle in space. I don't need that. I see Armageddon. Well, now hold on, Justin.
Starting point is 00:54:01 They started off as drillers who were then trained as space people because it's easier to train drillers to be space people than it is to train space people to drill as that movie establishes. Now I will say this. What if you just started on your business cards? Have it say like, you know, a Constellation counselor and Kerry business and construction attorney comma preeminent
Starting point is 00:54:27 space law expert. Now at this point, that's interesting because now at this point, there may be someone else on earth who's like, no way I'm the preeminent space law lawyer or whatever. Now if that happens, you're going to have to challenge them to a space law off, right? Okay. And you beat them maybe in a Yu-Gi-Oh card battle.
Starting point is 00:54:46 I don't know. However, you want to settle it. Well, I mean, Travis, every court hearing is a law off. If you really want to get technical about it, anytime people go to court, it's a law's contest. I guess that's true, Griffin. It's all Yu-Gi-Oh battles, but with laws. You are correct.
Starting point is 00:55:04 That's all the court cases. The evidence is Blue Eyes, White Dragon. The analog works here in a bunch of different ways. And I think we can all agree. It's exactly the same. You know when your lawyer transforms into a more serious version of the original lawyer? And he's taller, he has better hair and stuff, and cooler
Starting point is 00:55:20 eyes, a Ram-Paw or something. Yeah, you get it. We know so much about Yu-Gi-Oh. Hey, hold on to your beans real tight. Okay. Because I'm going to freak them. Okay. Isn't all law space law?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Whoa! Skip. Like we're here, like we're all in it. Space. Do you know what I mean? Do you have man? Do you have man? I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Aliens, we're aliens. There's a lot of argument about where space starts for space law, because there's also sky law, right? Sure. But there's obviously some sort of permeable barrier there between sky law and space law. It's called a little mystery. Yes, go on.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Right, but if I'm on a rocket ship and I kill one of my fellow astronauts at like, you know, in the ionosphere, like whose jurisdiction is that in? Is there air? What's that? Is there air? Then it's sky law. There's some air.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Then it's, then I'm going to say at that point, you're, I think space right now is like international waters. I think if you're, if you get out there and you kill someone past the atmosphere, you're totally good. Yeah. So what if we get, what if every rocket ship has to have a bird on the outside of it when it launches and then is soon as that bird dies, that's space, baby.
Starting point is 00:56:41 I think that's because birds love sky, but they hate space. And this may be the only way that we can really tell where one starts on one. As long as we're doing that, Griffin, let's cover our whole bases, bird at the front, right? So I'm going to land the animal at the back. So that way we know as soon as it goes from ground law to sky law, where it's just like, oh, okay, that Fox died.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Okay. The Fox, I don't know why you picked a Fox, but okay, we'll go on with Fox. I would pause it that Fox and bird would probably die about the same time. Well, Conor, that's why I put. Duck saved them to the outside of a rocket ship as it blasts off. I'm going to say they're, I'll give her, I'll grant you this Travis.
Starting point is 00:57:21 There's probably going to be a small margin between Fox death and bird death. And, but I think that the lawyers would. No, the foxes at the very back so that it's touching the ground right before you leave, right? Why are we going? Sorry. Why did you take the bird to the rocket?
Starting point is 00:57:41 So you know when you get into space cause birds love sky, Justin, keep up. Birds love sky. Birds alive. It's like love doesn't figure it. Here's a mnemonic device. If birds alive, you're in the sky. If birds are dead, then space ahead.
Starting point is 00:57:56 So you're not in space. It's okay. And around space. Okay. Fine. But Travis, you don't need the Fox to have its feet on the ground in the same way that if I jump in the air and shoot someone, that's not sky crime.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Yeah. There's going to be a certain amount of distance where the fox is going to be like, I can still see the ground. It's totally cool. Maybe that's it. It's when the Fox starts freaking out, you're in the sky. You're in the sky. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:23 As long as the Fox remains calm, still are full. I didn't think that the Fox will be fairly upset by being taped to a rocket. Well, that's base level. Obviously, Justin, that's your new base level. So you got to let him acclimate. You have to train chill foxes that don't mind being taped on those. You got to tape them to the rocket a couple days ahead of time.
Starting point is 00:58:46 We actually tape what we do is, we were struggling. What we do is we tape baby foxes to spaceships and they grow in captivity. So this is natural for them. They love it. And this is, we're getting into, we're starting to get into ethically choppy waters. So I just want to say right now, choppy waters ahead.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Ethically choppy waters ahead. I just want to say right now, these are hero foxes. Oh, see, I was going to go the other way, grieve it and say, these foxes deserve it. These foxes stole some chickens. Space is Australia for foxes. We're not even doing it for experiments anywhere. We're just blasting them up.
Starting point is 00:59:28 These are, okay, this is definitely a hero bird, right? Because birds love sky. Every bird wishes they could get to space. There's so many birds. So many, too many. That's all I'm going to say. All right. I think we've, I think this solves it.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Yep. Yeah. The question that was asked, which is where does space start? Yep. You're welcome. Hey. All right. I know you had to acquire that and program it during the show.
Starting point is 00:59:56 No, that's why you're doing your ad. How long does it go, Justin? Well, what I've found is a 50 second bed. So we can just, and it's isolated. It's just that part. So it can go for as long as you want. It's chillier than I remember. Well, it's isolated.
Starting point is 01:00:10 So you don't have this, this, this scorching guitars. You don't have Eddie doing his bass riffs. Oh, hey, can I tell you guys some exciting news? Please. Next week, we're going to be in San Jose, California. And on the 29th, we are doing an adventure zone with special guest, Abreya Ingar. Whoa!
Starting point is 01:00:31 It's going to be a hoot. It's going to be a hoot. That's not a hint. That it's going to be hoot nanny. We're doing something that's not a hoot nanny. And you know what? I'll just tell you what it is. Yeah, tell us.
Starting point is 01:00:39 We're going to be playing with the lasers and feelings game set. And it's going to be set in like the late 1800s. And you all are going to be, you're going to be ghost hunters cleaning out the Winchester Mystery House. Cool. Yeah, I'm into it. It's going to be like steampunking and fun. Steampunking ghostbusters.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Please come. It's going to be really fun. If you've never been to a task show, you don't have to know anything about any of the other stuff or anything really or anything. You just come and enjoy a basic comprehension of the English language would be, I think, helpful. But we are doing a lot of great body work up there and you may just get a hoot and a half.
Starting point is 01:01:16 By which just means we do massage members of the audience. Yeah. We do some fairly consensually, consensual, fairly aggressive deep tissue stuff for sure. And then on September 30th, we're going to also be in San Jose doing My Brother, My Brother Me and then October 1st. We're going to be in Denver doing My Brother, My Brother Me. So be there.

Is there another special announcement? Well, yes, there is. At the Washington, D.C. Adventure Zone show, it's going to be Brandon Lee Mulligan DMing Dadlands 2.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Oh my God. Y'all. Now, not, not the sequel episode, although it would be that Dadlands 2. Version 2.0. This is our game system we created and Griffin really evolved on it in a massive way. I think people are going to be, I think people are going to lose
Starting point is 01:02:06 their minds when they see this game system. I think that this is going to be, I think that maybe this will be the last live show we ever do because then this game design rocket ship is going to take off and kill the bird and the Fox very quickly. You guys ever seen the videos of like people see in the Beatles live? It's going to be like that.
