Everybody all the stars stars are shining tonight on
Yeah, they're all here celebrating their November 8th birthdays now I do want to say when the episode comes out it will be November
7th
Also the last time your guys birthday fell on a election day. It was a big stinker rooty wasn't it?
Hey griff thanks for reminding me, but I totally didn't remember that
To remember yeah
That I had that election day is November 8th because I'm not thinking about that every second
Well, the only thing is you guys are like is the best day and I'm like it could you guys
Are in a panic spiral right now and I am too but mine is no, I'm just mad at you Griffin
Don't misread my body language mine's not attached to the birthday like my birthday is gonna be no your birthday is when Jesus died
Dire consequences
Potentially, but that's that's fine. That's the great
I will receive the the greatest present for this birthday and Travis will likely receive it too
And you know what Griffin you'll even
get to
Get to open this one and that's that John Ossoff will get off my nuts
Jays Carville will
He'll take his talons out of my nuts
Elsewhere I'm not gonna say who cuz I don't want people like telling me about them
But somebody who has reverend at the start of their name emails me nine times a day not an exaggeration
Fresh fresh memes from the rev
Like I'm expecting to get like a hey man. What do you do it? Can I borrow a game you've been playing?
I'm bored as hell man fucking I am
Always getting texts and emails from James Carville asking to borrow my video games
Yeah, he's like hey man
Are you done are you don't read dead redemption to and I'm like that game came out a long time ago
It's like you got on Xbox 360 and it's like why are you I don't even know
Madden 10 with me
I
Often worry that Elizabeth Warren is going to for some reason
Actually personally text me and tell me like she ran out of gas and needs my help
But it's just gonna pop up in my thing is the notification to say hey Travis
It's me Elizabeth Warren and I'll ignore it and she'll be sitting there like where is he?
I only had enough energy to text one person and Travis was the last person I texted asking for money. Where is he?
You know, here's how I'd ever consider
Do you think that people Elizabeth Warren texts in her day-to-day life?
Do you think she is frequently getting responses to her personal text messages that are like fuck?
Yeah, please stop please
Unfollow stop to end unsubscribed
What this is your wife unsubscribed now, it's really James Carville, and I really want to borrow your Xbox
I have eight cell phones. That's why I'd always come from a different number. That's what you would that's what you would say James
What do you want to describe? I'm standing right in front of you
I got tricked by one last week and that the opener of the text was a tragic update deeply sad about Mark Kelly
It's like oh
And that one I did pop open they got me on that one. Yeah
So that's
Please vote. I mean we got it
You know we have we're gonna say that and you already did vote but like vote good, you know, I mean good
Do a good job. I guess the right way to write
Fuck who knows man, you know, this isn't political advice
You should vote for people that think the outcome of the election is valid. Yes. Yeah, that's a good start
That's a good start. That's not political
That's just like unless and this is a blow. I'm gonna take a bowl political scene vote for people that aren't complete dipshits
That's good. This is this is that's too much. That's two times you're choosing between two dipshits less of a dipshit then
Um
Anyway
Happy birthday. I'm sorry that it got a little bit away from the main topic. Anyways back to our birthday. Thank you
The balloon drop. Yeah, Travis and I are Travis. What are you 30 39? Yep. Oh my god
Oh my god, you know what? Hey, you're gonna turn guys 42 the nerds are gonna love this one
Griffey jr. Spaceball number I think 42. Yeah, so I that's the last that's the last like
Big one for 27 years. Yeah, and then you roll up into 60
No, I'm looking to see if that was King Griffey jr. Jersey number cuz I'll be really impressed with myself
You could Travis our audience you just say it is sure. Yeah, I was totally literally nobody knows or is going to fact-check that or knows
Oh, it absolutely was not
He played for several different teams and it wasn't on any of them. Okay. Hey, never mind. Hey. Hey look over there
It's an advice show for the modern era. Let's bring that over here. Yes. Welcome. Welcome to our advice show
We're so happy to have you here for this birthday celebration celebration
Mm-hmm. We're having a regatta for our birthday this year. We're going on a birthday celebration guys is here in Cap City
It's buzzing there's every what is it cap city? This is what we call it here in cap say son here in cap say son
It's buzzing people are
buzzing about our birthday
About your birthday and about election day the schools here take two days off for election day for our birthday
For Travis's birthday is on Monday and Justin's birthday. They take Tuesday off. Yeah, we take turns. They take time to really observe it
I'm just want you all to know it's electric. It's electrifying is that what is the energy like there electric and electrifying people are
Just out on the street always now and the parties go all night long. This is like our this is like our day
Do you know what I mean? Like are you guys allowed to vote? Have you thought about that? Yes?
But the ballot is like a shoneys kids menu and it's like do you think chocolate milk is good and we say
We say yes, it is and they say do you want would it be cool to have people like in Congress for you?
And we're like yes. Yes, that's really that would be very cool and they're like, okay
But how many pancakes do you want and you know?
I say three and it doesn't it then they take it and they say thank you they gave me the sticker
They put the menu right in the garbage can't oh, do you at least get one of those lollipops?
We're like the stick is the loop at the end. I do get a safety pop which is oh, that's nice
Yeah, cuz I you know, I can't be trusted to vote for
members of Congress
But I so I clearly can't be trusted to eat like a dumb dumb a tootsie roll pop a charms blow pop
Cuz it's going right down the wind pipe. Yeah, but and like you're running and you trip in that stick
Oh boy, that's dangerous, but we're all having a ton of fun over here. It's a fucking party non-stop. Oh, wow
Cool energy. I love it and I love your questions. That's what we're gonna answer for you right now in this podcast
Which it begins now, uh, I dog sit as a side hustle. I
I don't think you should announce that to the people who you are dog sitting for yeah
But I think you should just frame it differently. Anyway, a dog sit as a side hustle
I don't currently have my own dog and I'm not actively looking to adopt
But I really love a few of my regular dog clients. I'm wondering if there's a chill way
I could tell their people that if anything wherever happened to them
Yeah, go on I would look I
Would love to adopt them sort of like a dog godmother. Yep
It's there's something better we could do there
We're gonna circle back on dog godmother cuz I'm not loving it or something there's and there's some confusing pronoun stuff in there
Just be clear what you're saying is I love the dogs and I want to let the people know that if anything happens to the people
I'll take the dogs. Okay
Okay, so is there a chill way to ask about that without it sounding like a tacit threat
Nice dog. You got there would be a shame if something happened to you
in upstate New York
Oh
Listen
Listen when it's sad thing but when pets owners die go go on the rainbow road
Yeah, when they go it's the rainbow bridge isn't it rainbow road is in Mario humans do it
We go on the rainbow road and we do when they get hit by that blue shell on the rainbow road
And you jump the fence on the first lap and you land on the lower part of the rainbow road and just fucking
Skook your dumb ass cousins
And you're like
We do it is
Standard practice that the pets are buried with them with the owners. Yes like a pharaoh like a pharaoh
so they can protect us when
Chiron tries to affair it us across the river sticks and we're like I'm not I would rather actually
Hit the rainbow road right now. I would have way more fun with that than in your slow-ass canoe death. Nice try
I'm out. That's why you you do need to challenge death to some Mario Kart when you get down there to return
Or or you could do smash if that's your thing
But it's Mario Kart and smash are the only two games that he's got down there. Yeah on GameCube. So it's it is sad
And it's sad
But you need to when the hell bats come at you you're gonna eat that dog with you or kitty cat kitty cats
Can not well
Kitty cats not gonna do much the weird the weird part of the conversation will not be the initial opening
It's a little McCall, but I think most people would be like
Yeah, you know what if I die you got my cat my dog, but
What is step two? Mm-hmm because there's a couple different ways it plays out
one is
Beth call her Beth
dies and then you show up at the funeral be like
This is this may seem odd
But it is actually chill Beth said that if she died I can have the dog
So I'll go ahead and take that with me. No problem. That's option one. I should too is the owner is like I
Guess I need to call
My lawyer. Yeah to put it in the wheel
That you can have my dog is that not a normal thing because I have in my will no joke
Where my dogs go or something happens? Yeah
I mean because mostly I knew it wasn't Justin or Griffin and I wanted to make that super clear
They're going to dad deal with it. Oh, yeah, good luck dad. Enjoy Carol
You're gonna love it one more on the pile baby two more baby. That's four dogs total or something happened today
Hey, oh, no, I can see out trust his window dad has showed up outside his house in the baseball bat
He's just protecting him with his life. He's buying Travis granola and grapes dad is bad at nutrition
But yeah Travis, but you did that already, right?
Saying is great while I'm watching you could you please call your lawyer and tell them to draft a new will please?
I also I don't know how to tell you this question as well, but this like if I if something happens to me
I'm leaving whatever to whoever is not normally a gig economy related right thing
like because
It could happen anytime
Not to me of course, but to other people and so this idea of like it could happen five years from now
You've moved you like you went somewhere else and it's just like hey
I need you to find this person and give him my dog
You could probably do go okay by like
Showing the dog how to get to your house. Oh, yeah, maybe if you could persuade the dog to incredible journey
Yes, okay, you know you like just you the motion the wheels are already now
Hold on doesn't it's been a while since I've seen the incredible journey homework bound the incredible journey
But I don't believe it was well looks like it's time for me to move on
This napkin with a mamp on it Sam the whole family beefed it huh shit
This dog walker. I really liked it think she's in Poughkeepsie. Do you guys know how to get there?
Can we start mosey and along I'll find it
Hey, remember me my whole family died. Can I stay with no, okay? Oh fuck well
Oh, you got your own dog in the last eight years bummer
Okay, this this I let you know what I'm getting out the step. This is weird
You can't sorry we tried everything
We gave it the old college with that one's just weird. I'm sorry. You can't do it. Can't do that one
Can't do that one. Can we do it? Can we go to the wizard though? Yeah, cuz it's not
Really Halloween anymore, but if you wanted to have like a darkness a dark sort of I was gonna invite the wizard to Thanksgiving
No
No, he's still thinking a lot about
He's still thinking a lot about Halloween. There's a huge banner ad for
Cape Lanshets tar
On my on my screen that I can't get rid of and it's like half the screen
Okay, when I do it there roof when I need to adhere roof tiles
Or stop one of the wet bandits. I only reach for one brand and that's Kate Blanchett star a
Lot of people said it was strange for me Kate Blanchett to create
My own line of tar, but what other Tars on the market?
You don't know what's in my heart. You don't know what's in my heart. You don't know what's on my roof
Acting is what I settled for but tar is my passion. It's it's the stickiest pitch imaginable
I can catch Cinderella on this thing
Okay, I've spent two decades perfecting Cape Lanshets
Everything else has been funding for this moment my little secret. It's delicious
It's great on your roof great on toast enjoy
That's this is how to act evil a villain is usually the most fun character to play
But making that kind of evil truly scary and believable takes hard work
If you aren't sure how to act evil for your role
It helps to start from the outside and work inward once you have the perfect look for your evil character
You'll be able to focus on creating a sinister persona
Just I will I want to just create a little asterisk there and say evil character most fun to play
Little asterisk down the bottom except Deadpool because it looks like mr. Reynolds is having a blast with that character
Yeah, so it seems like it's a
villain except Deadpool at the bottom
So here's the first step and it is to choose to write clothing evil is
for the
For the photo on this one for the little doodle for a little illustration. They have a dude like pulling off a t-shirt
but it's not like
really germane to
What the question is about?
okay, and
I'm gonna I'll slack the image to you guys cuz it's it's like it's like that's what you guys went with is just like
Here we're dark clothing because that's the you know traditional clothing of a bad boy
But like then they sent this
He's like cut and huh
Whoa
It's like choose the right clothing evil is typically associated with dark foreboding colors
So when you're playing a costume for a villainous character, that's the color palette that you should start with with this
This drawing is like a photo. They took too soon
It's like they started drawing it and the guy they were drawing wasn't ready yet
It's a it's you could see okay
So you see a chest and then hands are pulling a shirt almost all the way off and the face on it is a dark color
That's true. Yeah, it's probably putting on a dark color. What a bizarre time to draw this guy. Yeah, and let's step out
Let's not this isn't
This is not how to do a costume. I think people who come to this article looking for help want to be a
real baddie and
So you've got to consider the genre of baddie
You want to be one playing your costume you have to take the type
That of seeing you're working in so as the time period into account for example
While a villain in a western evil character in a futuristic sci-fi play might both wear black the outfits will likely be very different
Otherwise man, I wish there really was a futuristic sci-fi play all plays
I go to is just like people singing about like their
newspaper
Well going good dad just went and saw back in London, which is a pretty futuristic sci-fi play if you ask me
Unless you know about something that I don't visa be
Like time travel. Well, no, it's just like that the time that he goes to in the future in that movie
We already did do that one. So like I would argue it's not so much future sci-fi
But if there was one where like spaceship was there and like they had like a Star Wars music like play with like lightsabers and like
Jedi babes and like all that. Oh, yeah, cool shit
Well griffin I'm sorry that that's not actually futuristic because I don't know if you know the store is actually happened a long time ago
Okay, but you know what I mean like
Historical fiction add sinister accessories
Like a spiky
I patch like a collar spiky color chain wallet chain wallet chain sinister, right? Yeah
Vans
fucking
Jinko jeans
Some goggles
Jamiroquai hat jamiroquai style beliefs
All it really takes guys is a must-eat seat of jamiroquai
That's how you walk on walls and on the ceiling you just have to believe true
Go for sleek hair there may be a variety of hairstyles that work well for your character a sleek
Slick back do is usually traditional look for a evil character pomade's work best when slicking back short hair clay-based
Generalization is it that it is like maybe like a 60 40 split. I don't know it's it's
I'm gonna cut ahead. Well do develop a menacing stare. That's the last
Avoid looking away. I'm blinking. It's hard
But if it was easy to be a evil baddie then
Everyone would do it if I could do that if I was capable that I'd probably be doing a lot better like socially
You know what I mean like yeah, that's my bad like I can't yeah
If I could stare into people's eyes for more than a second or two without having to then look away
I wouldn't need to be a evil guy
Yeah, I could be if I wasn't always always always staring at people's eyebrows
Yeah, I wouldn't have to look directly into their eyes and they would see yeah, it let's get fun magic nature
Let's get let's have audio fun though because this is sounding the part
Make your voice deeper while a specific character might call for a certain type of voice villains
Traditionally have deep throaty voice that makes them sound evil if you have a naturally deep voice
You probably don't have to alter it much
However, if your voice tends to be higher pitch try to give it a lower more menacing sound that means you want to speak
universally
Travis, please deep oh sorry. It's universally. This is also like Batman voice though. This is well
Batman's the Batman's evil to the jokers of the world. That's a good pointer. That's a good point griffin
Hello, brother. So let's do a practice
Whoa shit
Whoa, that was me. I don't know what that was that burnt the alphabet. Yeah, I'll get you next time
Gadget
You gotta do more curtsy. That's probably painful, isn't it? Oh, yeah, I'm gonna do it for about three seconds. Yeah
I didn't roll vocal fry. It fries the inside of my throat doing sure
Identify your chest register by saying the word whoa in as deep a voice as you can
Whoa, and on your chest as you speak to feel the vibrations repeat the exercise several times
It may help to record yourself so you can listen back to what your voice sounds like we're doing that
Okay, so if you all just like put your hand on your chest and just like
Yeah, go ahead juice
Hello, man on your chest and on chest and say whoa, were you paying attention? Whoa? Wow, that's really deep
Whoa
Wow
That really works. That really works
Holding it here. That's that's really low. That's really that's really low. It's not this is some of our worst audio yet
Perfect a menacing laugh really good. That's so cool though. I didn't know I could do that
I'm glad you're having fun with your I'm glad your villain arc has begun Justin
Well, you have to be evil cuz your voice can do that wait until there's villains in the avengers own
Siebel chase you guys are gonna appreciate. Yeah, you're a freak out. Hey Justin
Please don't break that voice out. It's too scary. It's too scary. Can you all perfect a menacing laugh for me?
Yeah
No, wait, but do it like you did
This
It's very low. Yeah, it's gonna be low. It's hard to laugh low
I actually think the most evil thing you can do is to respond like in this way, that's funny
Oh, that's so funny. You're a really funny person. I didn't know you were a comedy guy
Um
Why don't they call family guy comedy guy if it's gonna be mostly jokes. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks juice
Emphasize the right words when you're trying to act evil the way you speak your lines
It's almost as important as the lines themselves a villainous character should emphasize words that have a threatening connotation or mock the other characters
For example, if you tell another character
You may want to make sure you say
With a hard edge, so it sounds like you're really twisting the knife or we could hit it another way you're pathetic
I don't care what anyone don't say. I'm not pathetic. You're you're the pathetic one
I didn't say you were pathetic. I know but uh, I could see it in your eyes or looking at me like I was pathetic
But I'm not hey man. Um, but listen, I uh, I don't want to diagnose but uh, you want to talk about it
Yeah, I like that
But oh
Stop being a
But oh, you're a bully. What?
What'd you say? You're the bully. You can't push me around anymore
I'm not afraid of you. What?
For you anymore, but oh
Give layers to your anger a evil character likely carries a great deal of rape. I'm getting lightheaded from doing them
You can't do every single your health
Uncontrolled anger instead try to give shades to your character's evil rage according to this story
For example, in an early scene you may just glare at another character to convey your low-key anger
However, as you approach the climate you want to hear me convey my low-key anger. Yeah, sure
Gosh darn it Thor. That was very good
Make sure you understand what the character is angry about in every scene. Oh, hold on wait. Stop. I gotta stop you right there wiki
How because you know how every time
Anyone plays any Batman villain it does like
Fuck them up. Like yeah, no. Yes. Yes. Paul dano still has to like sleep with all of the lights on and yeah
And ice around his head
It's because he thought like it wasn't just like i'm
I'm gonna pretend to be the riddler
It was also like but why is the riddler so angry?
But then that seeps into paul dano, right and he's like i want to punish people with puzzles
Well, this is why if you're a screenwriter, I don't want to give you notes
But it helps to like write in just directly into the script in like uh parentheses like you're angry here
And then it's like I don't have to understand it. You just told me that's great
I know exactly how to read in fact if you could just start uh screeners start every line with parentheses of like angry angry
Happy, hungry, hungry. Anyway, so I don't have to like
Uh internalize it in any way whatsoever. I would love that that would be great
And all my acting work. Enjoy the pain of others part of being truly evil taking satisfaction
Enjoy the pain of others. Enjoy the pain of others when you're trying to act evil
It's important to show how much joy your character gets when other people suffer and convey that even when you don't have any lines
That spell it out
Now wiki has kind of given you permission cart blanche to eat up scenery in the back. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, you don't need to make it always about you
Yeah, like when in like those in sci-fi
Future in jupiter sending the stage musical
When the dog man like breaks up with jupiter and she's like you can't be in the background like
Like because then you'll get yelled at
That actually got me fired as a zombie extra in walking dead that every time somebody would get hurt my zombie would go
Oh
You know like the zombies don't really laugh
Travis if you could not and i'm like, ah, but what is more and you and you shout it out like
Fuck them up a zombie michael and they're like
That's not how the show works like well
I was just trying to deepen like the bond between the zombies and maybe we could have some scenes or just the zombies interacting
I'm like that's not really what we do and i'm like, maybe it's time to change you been going 19 seasons
Um
Go ahead juice
I will say just for the purposes of our argument though if you learn to derive joy from the pain of others
And you can still derive joy from the happiness of others
Sounds like a pretty nice life. You'd be like you're pretty happy
Sounds like you've got a recipe for being happy all the time. I mean if everyone does it
A stinks but one or two
What happened different or someone's gotta do it. Yeah
I'm just saying like if there were more villains in movies and tv shows that just seemed happy all the time
Yeah, is that so bad because like lex luther seems kind of a holy shit travis
Top community q&a. I want to be evil, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. What can I do?
You can be evil in a broad sense seek world domination instead of hurting people individually
The best evil is insidious and seems good for example in dc comics lex luther is not evil
In his own mind. He's looking out for the good of humanity against the evil alien who has come from krypton to enforce
His vision of justice on our world. Yeah, he's not explicitly evil just xenophobic and racist
He's bad. He's bad in a lot of ways
But he doesn't murder banks
I mean, yeah, he's like in that top point one percent of wealth and he could be doing way more with his money
But instead he runs for president and hates illegal aliens. Oh, no
Oh, no, find some humanity for the characters the last tip. Don't do that. That's weak. Now shitting
I hate that shit when it's like in lor the rings when saran is like, you know
And this is my puppy. He's like, I'm just doing it for my daughter. It's like, I don't man
I was really enjoying like I so you want me rude for now. Right exactly. That's your to her
Okay, man, because then it's like when Frodo cuts his fucking head off, right? That's I'm not am I supposed to feel
Confused about that. Samwise is like doing the like, you know, I'm crouching over you
So it looks like I'm farting on you and putting my butt on your face because we beat you
I want to cheer for that whole heartedly. I don't want to have a moment of like, well
But like his daughter was kidnapped or whatever
Mr. Freeze is the perfect example. Yeah, you never ever ever see mr. Freeze like
Making a throne of ice living it up enjoying frozen foods like that's not him every time you see this other fucker
It's always like single cracking my globe frozen tears on the ground probably arose
I'm really sad. It's like such a bummer. I've written some poems. Oh my god. I wrote poems
And he's like
He's like, but my wife died and it's like, yeah a lot of people's wives died because of your cold
Because of your cold gun you made. Yeah. Yeah. Hey
Since we're on the subject of Batman organically, thank you. Can we just take a second?
second to talk about penny worth
because
I kind of lost it a little bit today. Everyone knows that
That there's a network called epics. Yeah, epix that made a show called penny worth
Yeah, that is the and the subtitle if i'm not mistaken. No, no, no. Don't say it yet. Okay. Don't say it yet
Because that subtitle is new
newly introduced
I just want to say I don't know about this channel show or subtitle. Okay. Griffin. This is so good
Penny worth is a series about
Alfred right
Batman's butler it figured that out. Yeah
It is now in it. I thought this thing had been I thought it got a season and then everyone was like, what happened?
An origin story for Alfred today
I see ads for they're on season three
HBO max exclusive button season three
In season three
There's a new subtitle and it is
The origin of batman's butler
Now this is interesting for a couple of reasons one
Penny worth is the rare show that's probably better the less you know about it
Yeah, probably once you start thinking about they did a show about batman's butler
It starts to feel kind of bad to watch
But now the fact that they're like we got to get more people in
Maybe now we should reveal that this is actually a story about batman's butler
Maybe the producers just got sick of answering answering the question like who I know it's batman's butler
You know what? We're just gonna put it right there on the 10. Don't worry about it. Is it like anything?
he like learns how to
Like make tea and clean up clean up a mess when no, he I think he's maybe like a spy
Yeah, they've done a lot of rat conning
with penny worth
And penny wise in the last uh a couple years where it's just like he's a fucking sniper
Yeah, he's extremely deadly cool cool dude. I like that. I wait
I don't want to know if it's good if you watch it. I don't want to know I got lots of things
I'm watching don't defend it because I've never seen it. I'm not attacking it. I'm saying conceptually ruinous
I don't now that I don't know how I kept going now that I've said it though
I would like an alien versus predator penny worth v penny wise if we could just work that out
Even if it's just animated. Uh, I would love that. This is my butler after penny wise. Yeah, I love that
God
Has batman ever fought penny wise two masters of fear mono eclown. Oh just going at it
Batman spends a lot of time in the sewer. He's definitely encountered
Penny wise before right? How much do you want to bet batman? Just like I can't I can't I can't
Nope
I don't see that
Let's take a look at the power rankings one
Scarecrow is penny wise and he's kicked his ass before so and the other thing is that penny wise got his ass beat by
I think like four dipshit kids. Yeah, who then grew up to be
Kind of dipshit adults and they killed him again. So it's like and none of them were let me check spoilers
None of them were batman one of them was bill hater. So like, you know, great love bill hater, but not batman. Yeah
Okay, so just in here has a oh, okay. This is helpful
Let's see. This is this is a quora article juice. You found it
Yeah, it's just called how would the battle go between penny wise and batman. There you go. There is no further
Clarification is just like what's up? Yeah
So and then there's just like they agree with me. They fucks up scare crow. He's scared people
He is scarier than penny wise to a lot of people. So it's like it look by the way the article does in fact
Verbate him say here is batman fucking up scare crow. Yeah
But I would I would argue that there is a fundament this article begins with answer one
But let me ask you something it says in an answer tricky
Is there anything that the vigilante of gotham the dark knight is scared of?
No, but yes, right like yeah, we routinely see batman fucked up man. He's afraid of shit
Does it do all quora articles have so many fucking kick ass
Bitching pictures of batman in them
Guys the first question asker has written how the fight would go
If I may oh, please. Yes
location gothams
location gothams city penny wise confronted a homeless kid and said
Do you want a balloon little boy the boy seeing penny wise's wicked smile started to cry and run away
Penny wise then transformed into a bizarre monster laughed at a scary voice and chased the kid to a small and dark valley
Is this written in past tense?
Yeah, and it's written in between some of the most fucking
radical bitch and bad bad ass batman picks
I've had a kid thought he would be done for until a shadow of bat suddenly appeared a bat shaped logo
Shown on the dark clouds. Whoa
He's our bitch in pictures of batman. Grandfather wasn't lying. He was standing there on the roof of a house
The dark knight showed up
Penny rock to penny wise started roaring angrily
He tried to attack the kid crusader bat batman dodged it all
Yes, get out the crazy clown then received some big sucker punches from batman. Just like this monster right here
There's some cool pictures of batman beating the ass of some unknown beast killer croc
I would guess maybe killer croc. It's not penny wise
But like I think logic would dictate by the transitive property if batman could beat this monster's ass
Penny wise would be dirt in the ground
Yep
Taking too much damages penny wise ground angrily. Why?
Why can't I sense your fear? Why did you sound like batman for penny wise? I guess they do
I was trying to just do my villain voice. I'll take all of you. I'll feast on your flesh as I feed on your fear
Not stopping batman to get some explosive. Oh my god. Let's look at this next picture of penny wise
Yeah, penny wise turned into this mushy potato
And beg batman to spare him
There's a picture of penny wise as a mushy potato and then the next picture is batman and over it
In what I think maybe joker font. It says what's wrong scared
Uh
And then it says batman said this in a cold voice. So gifford if you could again in a cold voice
Then he finished the clown
Oh my god guys. Yeah, there's a picture of batman walking away from an explosion an explosion that has just killed
Right next to this in a box labeled related questions are
How would an encounter between the joker and penny wise play out? How would batman defeat penny wise?
What if the joker met penny wise who would win in a fight penny wise or the joker who would win penny wise parentheses it
Versus deadpool. What would happen if superman met penny wise not fought
But if superman I guess ran into penny wise at the supermarket
Yeah, I'll tell you who wins between penny wise and deadpool and that's me at the theater with my kids
having the time of my life laughing
Loving learning darth vader versus penny wise
That seems pretty straightforward. It's I don't know
This is fun. This is I wish we did a show that was just like fights
You know what I mean, wouldn't it be better? It would be better
It's just like people fighting. Yeah, sure. Tell them who's winning it
Hey, uh, let's take a quick break and then we'll come back with a lot more show
The party's just getting started right after this
It's better it's better
Now listen, I know we're all pretty hyped up right now thinking about batman beating the ass of this horrible clown
That scared my kids so fucking much and I would love it if this happened
But we need to bring it down a little bit because this is I had for calm and I'm I'm not there
Like I'm not in the right headspace for it. So if we could work through it together
Um, maybe let's do a simple breathing exercise
Let's breathe in through our noses and hold it for about five seconds and exhale through the mouth
Yeah, I'm trying not to think about all the pennywises you saw while trick-or-treating
And you weren't sure if any of them was the real pennywise enjoying his time on the upside because he knew that he wouldn't get

Uh boys before we continue the rest of the episode, you know, we're talking
We've hit on a big question here and I know an expert about this kind of thing that I want to bring in
I usually read the question. No, no, no, this isn't this is a question
We discussed before the break and we're just going to touch on that and then if we have other things to ask me
Well, but first let me call a griffin newman. Let me see
I didn't know you had a phone
Click
Uh, hi, is this a griffin newman?
Uh, hi. Yes. Yes. Hi. Who is it? Hi. It's a Travis McRoy your favorite brother from the my brother my brother me
Oh, the my jack. Yeah, no my number one in the ranking the I think of you as as the
My brother the first my brother title. Wow. I'm so glad. Oh, wait a second. Who is someone else on the line?
Oh, yeah, sorry. I had speaker speaker. Yeah, I had to loop Justin and Griffin in too. Sorry about that
Um, basically, uh, we were discussing before the break. Uh, what would happen if batman fought penny wise and then
A much bigger question about with the joker met penny wise and scarecrow met penny wise and then I started talking about penny worth
Griffin, how much do you think about penny worth the fact that they're talking about penny worth the origins of batman's butler?
Yes, correct. Yes
I
Look, I think about it a fair amount. I think about a fair amount
I think a thing that is under discussed with penny worth the origins of batman's butler
Is that show existed for two full seasons? Yes. Yes on a channel. No one watches
Just called penny worth. Yes, and then they decided for season three. We're gonna put it on hbo max
Right treat it like this is new
And so like I guess the problem the reason people didn't like this is because the title lacked context
We were killing it in every other regard
Well, I mean that that is the tradition that has been established with the epics to hbo max pipeline
That we have seen so many in america
I I guess I guess I want to know as somebody who did a guest spot on a series that was uh pulled from hbo max
So they didn't have to pay me residuals. How many me how many me's could you have paid by just not doing more?
Why not like leave infinity trade and then just not do anymore
I refuse to believe anyone watches it refuse. Oh, of course. I was on every episode of
vinyl the hbo series, which also has gotten
Yeah, I I think I was on maybe nine out of ten
I believe
I mean most of my I stood in the background and smoked a cigarette and they went sorry
We couldn't find anything for you in this one. Yeah, it was cool as shit
And if you had leave us said that would be great. You weren't hired on this show. Why do you keep showing up?
You're on nine out of ten. Maybe all vinyls
Yeah, and and it's it's one of those things that was one of the first shows that got zazz laughed in this recent culling
Of this show is not worth the money it takes to print the residual checks for five pennies
You do the math on it and you're like
It's not that you're losing money by paying me residuals
You're basically saying it costs too much money to hire someone to
Calculate how many pennies you're paying me and then the paper itself costs more they're calculating your penny worth
Basically, yeah, which is oh my god. This that was infant fantastic
I actually did want to ask you about something griff. Why we got you on here, please. Yeah, let's and let's just for clarification
griff two so that
Oh, come in. It gets yeah. Yeah. Well, they don't call him two. I'm not the first griffon newman
He's not two men. So okay. You don't know you know what no for the sake of this episode griffin if you're comfortable with this
How about your griffin woman and I'm griffin two men just so there's a kind of consistency. Yeah, I like that
And we should establish you're in disenchanted and that's like the whole reason you're disenchanted
Disney plus original film premiering november 18th and the voice of a talking chip monk. That's good. That's good. That's good
Let's let's soak that in for a second. Yes. It's good. It's good that he's casting that I'm very I hear there's a rumor
According to indb. There's a rumor that Alan. Okay plays a scroll
Correct. Give me any dart. I want to go in line. Okay when I want to say griffin when the movie was announced
I saw you tweeted a picture of pip and you I believe capture it me
And I did not originally assume that meant you had been cast in that role. I thought it was identified
Yeah, you just like identified very closely with the energy of pip the chipmunk
No, which I do
I mean because it's a thought it was a photo from the first movie where he's standing in front of a plate of
Pastrami a cat's is deli with his arm spread out. I want to know what happened to the last guy that played pip
It's probably canceled. No, you know what it is these days. Are you kidding me?
The real pip I'll give you I'll give you some dirt. It's not it's not very salacious, but uh in the first movie
So if for those who haven't seen enchanted is
Uh, like a fish out of water movie. Yeah, Amy Adams plays princess jazelle
And she exists in a cartoon hand drawn disney fairy tale princess universe. It's amazing
It's a great and she falls through a portal and ends up in real new york
And then the whole thing is here's what if a disney princess had to exist in the real world
In new york at the beginning of the movie in the hand drawn sort of musically section
She's got a bunch of little animal friends like snow white just sleeping beauty her whole
Quarterly of animal friends and pip is her little chipmunk friend who's yeah, why he's cracking new york accent
Kyle are you talking about here kind of thing? He's got like three or four lines. Are we talking to pip now?
Yes
Pip can join the call
Pip is officially disconnected from the call
But so he only has like three or four lines and then the bit is that when he
Falls through the portal and goes into the real world. He is now bound to the the rules of the real world. He can't talk
Okay, so for most of the movie pip is mute. There's a great voice actor
He squeaks. He squeaks. Okay, so this is the thing. So the director of the first movie kevin lima did all the squeaking
And then a great voiceover actor named jeff bennett did the voice for the couple of lines at the beginning of the movie
It's only at the beginning. He did like johnny bravo. He's like one of the best voice actors in the world
But there was this weird thing of it's streaming. They can't afford him get griffin. Yeah, probably
Yeah, I mean, I think you're jumping at the end of the story here, but yeah
Two guys had played pip there wasn't a clear chain of command. There's a different director on this movie. It's been 15 years
I truly the way I got the part was I was asked as a favor to fill in
at the table read
When they were hoping to find a famous person to do it
And then they sort of called me a week later. I'm like, what?
Did you have a did you how did you psych yourself up with like griffin?
If you nail this
You're going on home with this part. Did you did you walk yourself through that?
Or is it just like just always putting it out there 24 seven? It doesn't matter. You only know how to bring your a game
That's all you have only buckets
Well, I try I try to I try to get buckets whenever I can it's a little a little we're being ever speaking honestly here
It was a little column a little column b right
I I get this phone call for my friend who's the
Producer on the movie and he was the producer on the tick as well
And he goes like you'd be doing me a really big favor if you could jump on this zoom and do this table read
And basically said to me there's there's no job here
There's no job here. That's what they want. They want to see if you'll still bring the buckets
That's the thing it was sort of the test and it was like there's no job here
But you'd be on a zoom in front of disney people
And in front of amy adams and you know, maybe you know make a good impression for something else down
You didn't care about dem see just adams like dem see you'll be dem see marzden manzell
Oscar from the Oscar Nunez. Yes. Um, so that was how it was maybe allen tutek
I don't want to know you don't tutek wasn't was not yet, which was exciting when he came on later
But um, no spoilers
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have no idea to do something. He might have been a key grip. We don't know no idea
Funders he just shows up
But so they they say that to me and my calculation in my head juice wasn't
Can I steal this part? I truly the limits of my ability at the moment
How far I would allow myself to imagine was if I fucking nail this read
Maybe they let me be the guy who holds the puppet off camera for reference
Oh
The sky captain in the world of tomorrow
I I was
Absolutely, I was like well this character is animated
If they hire a more famous person do the voice, they're not going to want to be there on set
I can be the reference voice
And I'll hold the puppet and I was like you could be you could be the co bethany olsen the third of the olsen triplets
They only use for two shots from behind. Yeah, that was my whole that was my strategy and this is coming right like right out of lockdown
I've just gotten vaccinated and I'm like the idea of anyone hiring me to be anywhere is exciting
So I don't need to be in this movie bring me on this set
And and then like yeah like a week after the thing they called me and they just said like you're you're so cheap
This is so much easier if we just hired if they really say that griffin to you
They didn't say that they didn't say that but that was the underlying reality is we could save a lot of money
That we can redistribute to the CGI
And it would just have you do it. It's hard. It's it's hard because they they not like as people who've been in films
It's hard knowing that you're in that position because we would do anything for free, right? Yes. Yeah, so anytime we're not in a movie
Yeah, that's someone said that's another person who has voted like
To spend money on nothing essentially like I'd rather them not be in the movie for nothing
There's no they would detract every movie that was released without my presence in it
Me that the director thought my presence in it would detract from the film
It was they were not worth zero dollars
They made the decision to invest money
Into having someone who is better at acting and voice acting than any of the three of us
Well, but griffin I would say statistically griffin one griffin one then there have been plenty of movies that have gone over budget in history
Right, sure those over budget movies went over budget instead of having Justin in them. And that's what I'm saying
It's offensive. It's almost more that they would rather lose money. Yeah
There's no one to ask you out something while we got you
Let's not do the question we had picked out. I only want to hear griffin tumen's thoughts about pity wise v. Batman
Let's let's call it audible
Okay, we're gonna ask you a question about pickles that was gonna be really a reverent and fun and probably had a good time with it
But I only want to know
I only want to talk about Batman v. Penny wise the the incredibly
Important supreme court case that was foundational for the for the fate of our country
Batman v. Penny wise dawn of justice. I um
It's interesting. I mean look first of all, I appreciate you buffering giving me some time asking some disenchanted questions
So I could really stew on this one. It was one more. Was that November 18th?
Did you say that?
November 18th, Disney plus original film streaming everywhere. Yeah, it was it was hard for me to focus on any of that because I was really
I know and I I was sort of talking but as I was in my head
I was just doing the math because I I worry if I Travis the Travis
Exactly Travis approach. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If I had answered right away
I think my answer would have been rash and stupid and poorly thought out and now I've really had to some time to sit on this
We all know that obviously the Joker is
Batman's greatest
Enemy, right? Yeah, the crime the conference. I mean the things that make us cry make him laugh. Yeah
um
And and also, I mean what the greatest character in American drama. I mean has now become our number one and funniest
The funniest the scariest the serious the most serious. Why so serious?
Sometimes too serious if you ask me, yeah
But I think this is that thing with the Joker
There's that balance where you do feel like the guy is trying to entertain you
It's a thing I like about the Joker is that he has bits
Even when he's doing violent stuff or mean stuff or dare I say it illegal things? Whoa, right?
No, I mean he's he's a he does crime guys. Yeah, he does crime under man's laws not gods
But but but he's he's bringing props, right? He's got the fish with the lipstick
He's doing little turns of phrase all that the bang gun
Right bang gun and he's got a shtick. He's got an outfit a persona. You're doing a whole thing blow up naggy chilling hall
Larry has funny funny. I think penny wise
Despite falling into this evil clown trope
Yeah
Is penny wise ever intentionally trying to be funny?
Oh
That's interesting. I hadn't even right about that angle
And so I'm like I'm trying to do the math in my head and go would batman
hate penny wise more or less
Because penny wise is kind of just straight chaos
Whereas joker is putting on a show like this is that man
It's it's interesting that you are weighing this in a conversation about who would be whose ass
No, I think it's it it is interesting to think about like the sport of boxing
Yes, is if the if one of the boxers hates the other one much much more
No, but you will increase the ferocity of their this is what i'm talking about
Okay, and because really bat batman doesn't have powers as we know, right? He's got the gadgets very rich
We know this it makes some very powerful in our broken society
But but then he also, you know, he is driven by this this rage this sense of vengeance
So I'm like that's the special move meter, right?
Right
I'm I'm just saying I think there's something to the fact that not only is the joker so twisted
But the joker annoys batman like the fits drive him crazy that fills up the special move meter
The the bits are also like, you know, they say that the the joker
Is like all chaos, right? Right? It seems like the joker is working pretty hard pretty hard on this to do his bits
This is the one who's like, I'm gonna just punch this gift. What if the reason like
What if the reason batman is so annoyed by the joker is the batman does find joker funny
And he's trying so hard to keep a straight face because that's like his whole bit
Canonically the the only time he ever ever busted up with a joker. He fucking kills him
Yeah, the only time he ever ever in history busts up at the joker. He's like good one joker snap made him
So angry that the joker made him laugh
Whereas like pennywise, I wonder if it's just like well, this is a bad guy. So to a certain degree
It's a little more passionless. It's a little more routine whipping this guy's ass
Because pennywise like, you know, it's just hanging out in a fucking sewer grate going like come here kid
Yeah, which is bad. Which is bad, but he's not like juggling. He's not doing like
He's not committing real crimes. I see what you're saying. Right. And he's also not leading with I'm pretending like I'm a normal clown
He's kind of upfront just creepy monster in the guise of decrepit clown. You know, right?
That's interesting
And I wonder if that pisses batman off less and for that reason it's more of just a routine ass whooping
We are assuming also
Yeah, that
Joke that pennywise where he would appear today on the day that batman lives
That he would be this clown, right? Because I feel like he would definitely come as a fortnight guy
You know, like I think that he could manifest in any shape. Yeah
Uh, I think he would probably manifest as steve from minecraft or like a fortnight kind of guy
Interesting or like burger boss from four. He'd pick one of the funny ones peel the funny ones. Yeah
Who wants to bust you up?
Man, man, I love pancakes
Dead war
Right, I think if he does that like batman would be the shit at a dead pull dead pull would drive batman crazy
I think if pennywise is affecting a persona like that if he is coming in as like beef boss
Batman will get riled up. Yeah, if if he's just a creepy child abductor
I think batman's hurts in it a little less, but does he still win though?
Well, here's the wrinkle I want to put in
Batman rarely goes up against truly supernatural. Yeah, right
Pennywise has moves
That maybe you're outside of batman's wheelhouse. I mean clay face
Rajah Ghul
Clay face is science
Killer croc
Killer croc has a skin mutation. You leave him alone killer croc science. Uh, mr. Freeze science
Riddler just
Rajah Ghul is the one who's found a bit. That's right. Yeah, but he's not it take you away from the pit
He's just like you or me
Exactly. Listen and everybody's got pits when we get down to it metaphorically speaking. Of course. Of course
Do you think batman ever encounters a villain who's just like a guy robbing a bank and he's like, what's your stick?
He's like, what do you mean? It's like, what are you or you're robbing man? No, I'm just my name's dug and I'm robbing this bank
I don't know I need money. I have no marketable skills
Yeah, it's just like a regular crime. It's this isn't really a batman thing. Okay, I'm gonna go
um
Uh, why is everybody in Gotham robbing banks at night?
That's a gentleman gentleman ghost is a batman villain and I don't think you guys could okay convince me that that's not
Call the shade
That that is a good pull. I and I for the listener at home
You did just spend a minute locking in on clearly an extensive google search trying to find out
Yeah
Well, okay
I google supernatural batman villains the number one one is fucking rajal ghoul because he can do magic and is
Immortal and shit. Yeah, but consistently rajal ghoul
Gets away from batman
Or like sometimes via death
But this is a good point. Rajal ghoul is one of the slipperiest batman foes batman rarely gets the better of him
I think the super and gentleman ghost. It's like
I don't I think I think it's a bad day for batman when gentleman ghost shows up
Oh, yeah, what is like, I know what to do with this guy. I know his moves, right?
Gentleman ghosts slippery and I wonder even just like
I don't think pennywise is stronger than batman, but I think if pennywise starts doing that fucking dance
Batman just might be thrown off his axis. Yeah. Oh and by the way, we are I think all in our minds imagining bill's guard guard
Yeah, of course
I don't know that we are imagining tim curry. I'd not like, you know, obviously iconic tim curry pennywise like
Incredible not the physicality isn't there and so much for me
with curry you're saying you imagine curry and and uh
His is more of a cerebral terror. Yes. I was actually Bill scars guard. Yes when bill scars start does is like
And starts like, you know flossing and doing orange orange
We gotta start recording guys seriously. We're gonna run out of time
Griffin, uh, welcome to show Griffin Newman. Sorry. We don't have more time to chat real quick
Gotta rush you on through november 18th disenchanted. Yes. Yes. Uh, pip the chipmunk now talks the entire film
Through now more chipmunk
More chipmunk. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I just have to ad lib some
I did. Yeah, I got I got a couple in there. Don't you hate that?
Like you guys had months to write this just do good jokes in the script the first time
I got the what the one i'm proud of. I think I got a sciatica joke in there
Are any uh any any d's nuts?
I don't want to go on too much. I try
All right, maybe can you record? Oh, can you record a few as pip d's nuts jokes that then our fans can
Cut in and like use it as tick tock. That'll go like super viral if you just give us some
Okay, so just I just want to contextualize this before I see this
Yeah, yeah, and the the context will be in it every time we play him. Of course, of course, of course
No, you cannot you cannot divorce the context from this
Uh, so that just you know to the many disney executives listening to this episode right now
Of course when I'm about to talk about d's nuts the nuts
I'm speaking of are the nuts that pip the chipmunk boroughs and stores and
Cannot interpret this any other way. No
Okay, ready? Yeah
Hey, hey you guys want some bofa?
You don't need any that's it. We don't even need the punchline. That's it. That's actually perfect
Griffin Newman, thank you. Uh, disney plus this she had a november 18th catch it fun for the whole family
Thanks to Griffin Newman for the uh, fantastic
Fantastic segment that we've already recorded and it is good. Yeah, definitely. What was your favorite joke from it?
I liked uh, when griffin Newman talked about which one of us was his favorite brother
No
Spoilies wait, you already heard it. You already heard it. So it's already spoiled it
Um, thank you so much griffin. Uh, make sure you watch dis enchanted on this the disney plus
Suze is live. I can't wait. I'm so I can't wait either. Uh, hey, we I don't think I've ever done this before
but
