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
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 and welcome to my brother my brother and me an advice show for the modern era me
I'm your oldest brother just McElroy. 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
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
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?
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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-
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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-
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Who are you two?
My name is Dr. Sam Betno.
I just think I'm like,
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.
Squad.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
I want to munch.
Squad.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.

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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh, close row blocks.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Sorry.
So loud guys.
That's the metaverse.
That's the metaverse.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Get your tickets at bit.ly slash McElroy Tours.
We also have the shows there in Washington, D.C., Detroit, Michigan
and Cincinnati, Ohio.
And what's that you ask?
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.
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
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.
But for game system design.

Hey, thanks to Montaigne for these for a theme song.
My life is better with you.
I'm assuming everybody has listened to making it the new
Montaigne album at this point.
But if you haven't, you actually legally have to.
Um, it's a new law that just got passed in every state and
country in the, on the world.
So go, you're going to need to listen to the whole thing.
And if you don't, um, the sound force will come.
The sound force will come.
Um, so thank you to Montaigne and to the sound force.
Is that it?
Yes.
Yep.
Yes, that's it.
Griffin, what's your inspirational words this week?
So it, you, I see you there.
We all have worries on us, but lift them up, lift those worries
up to lift those worries up to, and I know people get like
kind of freaked out when you do like religion stuff.
But so I'm just going to say, you know who, lift them up to
you, you know who you guys know who I'm talking about when I
say that the end.
Thanks for listening to my brother, my brother, me kiss
your dad square the lips.
It's better with you.
It's better with you.
Oh, it's better.
