The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed
Travis insists. He's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it
Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening
What's up you cool, baby?
Precious friendship
I could have never seen what was coming for me hangs at the skate park hangs by the beach my life
It feels
It's better it's better
It's better it's better
It's better it's better
Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother and me and advice show for the Modrin era
I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy. I'm your mirror help. Oh, okay. I'm your middle-aged brother Travis McElroy
I'll help too if I have to I'm my name's Griffin McElroy the littlest brother. I'm just here for the
Crafty for the snacks, you know, we haven't done in a while. What's that crowd a crafty table with?
Yeah, the crafty table is a problem
But we have we haven't generated any new like viral tiktok sounds. That's a good point
Yeah, so I've been doing a lot of market research a lot of breaking down stuff
And let me tell you what's popular now to give us some context. Yeah sure people sitting in boats and
These tiny boat things where the tiny boat is drifting towards the screen and it plays Titanic music. Oh, that's funny
Life hacks are always popular. We love those
Clips where they're showing like clips of young Shelton Shelton Sheldon
Shelton young Blake Shelton young Blake Shelton. Yes, and underneath it. They're like melting stuff or carving soap or something
That's big. Oh, that's cool
I love those tiktoks where it's young Shelton on one end and on the other end. It's a hydraulic press like squishing a bunch of funko pops
Yeah, that's a big one. That's a big one
And that's about it. That's all that's on tiktok right now
So if we can make any sounds that go with those things here's here's this is chilling if you
I've never seen any of these things on tiktok. I don't get any of that. Oh, yeah
Your algorithm must be all fucked up. I got people making stuff and then I have people
Sitting in I've I may I did something wrong
Sure, it's something wrong. Can I talk about my algo for a second? Yep. Yeah, let's all let's all diagnose our algos
Yeah, I did something wrong where
There was a live feed at some point of someone just sitting
Usually someone who's female presenting sitting and where their feet are very prominent in the shot Justin and I listen
And I think that I watched too long trying to figure out what's going on here, right? Okay, and I
think and and my natural curiosity is fucking with me because now I'm being served
I think a lot of really obscure fetish content
And I keep watching it because I'm like what is happening here and it doesn't register that I'm consuming fetish content
I'm just a curious guy trying to figure out what's happening in the stream, right?
What's the context of the stream? Yeah, I'm just getting
Just
With fetish content. That's very it's obviously very G rated
But it can't be anything other than that, right, right, I I fell into a similar problem
I'm almost one for one actually where I accidentally got
distracted by a clip from
Modern family and I got served a lot of modern family stuff, which if you think about it
It's just like comedy fetish stuff real cuz it really is yeah for sure. Yeah, it's my it's it's my comedy fetish
I get I sort of backed up into it because I was getting served a lot of videos of like
Clay figurines of the adult characters from young Shelton being squished up by a big hydraulic press and then that became
That became a fetish for me like it wasn't okay for me
It was sort of a cart before the horse of the mom and dad
Maybe from young Sheldon
And they are they are made of clay when they get gushed up the clay goes all over the place and it's fun for like Christmas
It's fun to gather everyone around for that for Christmas sometimes tick-tock tries to serve me old Sheldon
Clips, and I'm like no no no no. No, I fucking like this guy. I don't like a Sheldon
that has been sullied by
time
and the sort of like
sinful
Opportunities because it was easier as a kid to be like just a pure pure Sheldon
Yeah
but when he gets older and he gets you know tempted by
Internet pornography for one thing a lot of story lines about that and how he loves fetish content on tick-tock
Yeah, and when they and then all of a sudden the name Big Bang Theory
Yeah, that comes less about like the Neil deGrasse Tyson science stuff
More of like, you know Sheldon's Big Bang is the name of the next one
Now let me pitch this and I know I started talking about tick-tock
Let's pitch a show called ancient Sheldon where it's him. He's been around now for like 600 years, right?
Yeah, so smarty figure out a way. Maybe it's cybernetics. Maybe it's just like Jenna. I don't know something
That's yeah, and now the world
Has gone to absolute shit, right? Yeah, and the there's a team of adventurers who have to seek out
Ancient Sheldon to get his help. He's like putting the world back on track. That's cool
But but he's like I can't he's like I can't help. I'm too busy watching all this pornography
This is right. Okay, but this is what happens. This is what happens in the show the explorers are like they find
Ancient Sheldon and he's like in a TARDIS
You know I mean like it's like a prop TARDIS he made to hibernate in they they're like they bring him out
And he's like this I can't do anything to help you but my DNA has been
specifically engineered to withstand the
Radiation and right the weather and stuff and they're like the only way forward for the human race is to take the DNA of the
Ancient Sheldon who will then do this like a spin-off just call it progenitor Sheldon. Yes, right? It'll be
He will have to repopulate the earth
Okay, with his DNA because his is the only this to say so it's like
Oops all Sheldon's right all Sheldon's all Sheldon's
It's all the Sheldon's together interacting cuz it's the logical conclusion to the show to the Sheldon verse
I would like to say so narrow-minded though Griffin. You know, yeah, that's fair
I think we are hamming ourselves in a bit by just focusing on
age
Sheldon may I propose perhaps wet Sheldon?
This show is
Sheldon he can be any age, but he keeps having some sort of
Accident or people keep throwing water or juice or soda on it
Yeah, and every episode it's like at some point Sheldon's gonna get wet and then it's like a
Where's where's it gonna come from?
How's he gonna get wet in this episode but I then the longer you go down that road though
Eventually the writers are gonna run out of ideas and the people are gonna be frustrated because they'll be like hey
He's been drive for four episodes. Yeah, what's happening over there?
No, no, he was he was moist in the middle of that one cuz there was a light mist wetty. That's different
Okay, let me picture Sheldon. That's on Thursdays. Let me combine the family. Okay, so they they clone
Ancient Sheldon
And one then you end up with seven other Sheldon's that all contain dick
You got young Sheldon you got you know middle Sheldon
But then wet Sheldon is just always wet because maybe there was a drop of water in the clone fat at the same time
And then you just have all these different Sheldon's right with all these different facets
And here's where we're gonna take TV and change it forever. Oh, okay
So what we're talking about here got ancient Sheldon and then we got seven spin-off series
But they're all going to happen
Simultaneously you're gonna film them all at the same time and basically they're all gonna air back to back to back to back to back
And it's the same episode but from us like five degrees more to the left to show the change in perspective
It's a first-person perspective Sheldon experience
Yeah, and they're all gonna basically be the exact same episode with the exact same story lines and you can even shoot them the
Same way you just have eight cameras all set up side by side and it just shifts slightly to the side for each Sheldon
I like that it basically that's your entire Thursday. We'll have to schedule Thursday's off work
It's all a network. It sounds like that. We're talking it's sort of Sheldon Sheldon TV
Yeah, and each episode is two hours long and that's and once we run out once the well runs dry
Now why stop at one adjective now? We can have
Old wet Sheldon. Yeah, we can have young dry Sheldon. We can have I'm stuck on
various levels of precipitation obviously there's there's a lot more sort of
Axies that we can explore. I mean hungry Sheldon. There's a little Sheldon
We're running into a problem though, and I feel like not we're not serving everyone
Oh, I think that we need to redo ESPN
They make it the entertainment and Sheldon
Network ports ports network port port programming network. There you go. I will
Like I want to see him do sports against you. Yeah
I don't have work content people still like sports, so I think you're gonna have
Yeah, it's holding on against all odds, man
It's like you talk about you know, we've run out of ways to get Sheldon wet
I feel like we've caught a football in just about every way that we can
That we can as a human
Species that we could possibly do unless we start unless it somebody grows a third arm
Or they let him start using axes which I've been pushing for for a while now or big everlong hands like
something in there because everybody's thrown and caught and hit and
You know shoot it and kicks like all of the different things that you can do in sports
Like we've done them every way. What about this? It's football
But the football is Sheldon and I don't mean you're throwing a grown man around
I mean you've combed Sheldon into a football shape and he's talking
Making jokes and comments as you're throwing them around. Yeah. Yes. Yes a sort of skin ball. Does he talk?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he talks and has cared to arcs and everything
Well, yes, I mean he has physical arcs through through the air when exactly when football Tom
Did did did you have it Sheldon Sheldon has been made into the aggro crag. Yes, awesome
Cool, well kids young Sheldon's will scale this radical rock. Okay. Oh, and I bet it takes a while
I bet it takes a while what with all the asthma medication that needs to be consumed while climbing that
You climb the shaggro crag and then at the top of it you take a big piece of that beautiful Sheldon home with you
Yeah, and it hurts him every time
It hurts him so bad when let me throw this show out the floor is Sheldon
Now you're climbing
You're climbing across different kind of you know, there's a stack of couches and oh, there's some crates and boxes
I'll get on the sarcophagus because if you fall on the floor the floor is Sheldon and you will be consumed
Is it his face? Well, it's not just one face. It is
Ocean of screaming Sheldon's correct
It's like that pool like the pool in Hercules where he dives in it and all the souls are flying around in it
It's all Sheldon's and they're all screaming and they're all hungry
What if the floor is still lava but when a contestant falls into that gooey orange stuff when they pop out
They're Sheldon now and then they're friends are like they're you know, their wife or whatever is like no
You're you're fundamentally different. I didn't marry Sheldon, but that's who you are now
Could you toss them like what is food that nerds like like?
Funyuns is that what they eat on the show, you know what Justin?
I'm gonna solidify a portion of it
Like the immunity token from from legends of the hidden temple
Yeah, that's cool. Watch out the Sheldon guards will get you. I think we've run out of Sheldon jokes. It feels like
Yeah, I've never watched the show
Me neither. This is an advice show. I can't believe we gave away
So many great ideas. Yeah, any great ideas for free
I mean next fall on CBS or whatever channel does Sheldon
I would not be surprised if young if old wet hungry Sheldon
Debuted on the airwaves old wet young dry
Uh-huh hungry hungry Sheldon coming this fall on CBA
CBA C on
ACAB it's our new network. It just runs Sheldon and he's got some things to say
Don't ask about the acronym. We haven't done that yet. It's different. It's it'll come to us later, but we like the letters
I'm a parent which means I am occasionally obligated to host a birthday celebration for a child
Yeah, man kids happy is easy, but how do I really?
Keeping the kids happy is easy, but how to make sure other parents are having a good time, too
We recently moved to a new city, so I'm trying to make friends out of these folks. I mean
This is this is a this is a this is a problem. Yeah, this is a real one
Can I tell you I don't know if you guys have experienced this, but
What with the you know the global?
Pandemic we haven't hosted as many children's birthday parties as our kids have been around, but when we did do one
One of the things I ran into is one of the kids there was being a real asshole
And like banging toys around and being real rough with toys and stuff and I'm sitting there
And I know that this kid's mom is right there and she's not doing anything
And then I thought well, you know, what's easy making enemies making enemies is way easier than making friends
Sure, there's a lot more ways to do it. So what what what's the result here, Trav?
Oh, I've been waging a slow battle against this woman. She doesn't even know
The fact that her child misbehaved once I mean it was several times over the course of two hours
Yeah, no, I mean we we all know wait. Here's the result
Here's the thing if that kids being an asshole, you know, the other parents are clocking it too. That's a good in road
That's a good in road to be like, what's the deal with this kid? Yeah
So to make this remotely germane to the question at hand Travis is saying
Travis is saying that one way to entertain all the parents is to pick one of the parents that
Everyone else can kind of dog pile on and they're not gonna have a good time, but everybody else is
Is I guess I don't see any downsides. I like can I say I like going to a children's party where no
Like there have been no attempts to make it accessible for parents. Yes, it's not a party
I really like that a lot. Yeah, if you're like if the worst you got for me is I
Want you to sit in this corner of bogey's gymnast and just exist and no one's gonna bother you for a couple hours
Yeah, hey, that's a party in my book, you know, I mean, you don't have to engage me in anything
This is not a party for me. I'm just kind of a hired driver. I'm just gonna kick it here
There's no pressure to that. I like that but if they start like okay adults. I got some brandy cordials
That's everybody. We're gonna play ministers cat over here. Exactly. What adults do at party?
I a lot of people talk about that they're jealous of kids and how easy it is for kids to make friends because it's just like
Well, we don't have anything in common or whatever, but I saw you and now we're friends
We live near each other in the same class or whatever and I did not
Anticipating the ramifications of that as the parent
But now I've run into my kid being like I want this this girl in my class who I've decided is my best friend
So I come over and like do a play date and hang out and all I get things like I
Know less than nothing about this kid's parents. Yeah, and if this kid comes over the parents will be there, too
What do I do? Maybe they will maybe they won't you have no idea. You have no way I've thwarted my kids
My kids keep trying to set up play dates and it hasn't worked for him yet
And eventually they're gonna figure it out
I keep getting these like scraps of paper that just says like this is Paisley's mom
And it'll just say like Paisley's mom and then maybe five numbers on like honey
I can't reach Paisley's mom with this. You got to try again
And I'm not gonna text somebody out of the blue and just be like hey can our kids hang I know I know what happens
I know what happens. Just not to me. Yeah
The the short answer is to make friends as grown-ups at a kid's party
Everybody clings to service level like small talk. Yeah, like yeah
I am honestly
I think that that is the best you could hope for of that thing because like this isn't a group of people brought together by a
shared interest other than our
Children vaguely know each other and so being able to say like I never know what to do with these things
Oh my god, this person. Oh, look at my look at our kids out there run around like I haven't so much fun
Anything like that and it's short. It's short too. Like I remember this like that
That's evocative that could mean like so that could mean a lot of different shit and then it's the ball is in their court
If they take it and run with it. Yeah, you could also try other panel
It looks at you and like yes, this is all happened before I didn't know others were aware
Oh, what a relief and then you hit him now your friends with them and then you hit him back with a got any plans and
Then that could be that's that's a lot of different things
I look at you stealing that and they're just like no
Not past Friday. I'm in this exact moment. I you know just turn on myth busters
It works at Easter
Yeah, turn it on Smith Westeros
Yeah, you're you're at the you're at the Charles entertainment cheese
Factory and they just they go into the AV closet and pull out like a
18-inch
CRT TV in front of all the tables and turn on some myth busters for the grown-ups while everybody else plays ski ball
Yeah, that's great. That's the dream in the ground zone as they call it
Cocoa melon for grown-ups. Yes on you're like, oh, this will keep these grown-ups busy
I bet that I bet that blows up real good. It did nice. That's a cocoa melon song
I heard yesterday. I can't get out my gourd and it goes snowman snowman
Merry Christmas snowman. He stands out in the field all day. He likes to get a slow tan
What?
Does it right? I don't think that's how it goes
That may actually be Bob the train which is like knockoff cocoa melon. Anyway, I can speak on this for hours
Fofo melon. How about yeah, how about a yahoo? Wow, that was
Reflexive and painful, but how about a wizard wiki a wiki wizard wiki wizard? Yes, please. Okay, I
Mean thanks everyone who sent this in got a lot of different submissions on this one
It is how to talk like Cartman from South Park
Eric Theodore Cartman is one of the most beloved characters on South Park. How can you choose?
But perhaps one of the hardest to imitate it's not impossible though dazzle your friends with a spot-on impression by following a few tips
And taking a little time to practice. You'll sound like the annoying bratty kid in no time
Hmm. This could be a cool way to
befriend some parents at
Like a party where you don't know anybody
If you could just be like, you know, got me got any plans
I can't that was more or that was like. Yeah, I can't do Cartman yet because I haven't done the
Article but here a little bit will all be able to do a pretty good one. I think is Cartman beloved
This is I I know that this is a sticking point, but he's one of the more beloved characters on
recognizable. Yeah for sure. Let's just start love number one
Watch a lot of South Park episodes. Well, I was gonna do that. Anyways, I've been doing it
Yeah, I put it on my phone and then put on some like Bluetooth headphones to go to sleep
I've downloaded it in there. I've got ten of my favorite South Park episodes download on my phone
I just watch them over and over and over again. Yeah
You'll need to do this to truly understand his voice and character in general make use of the subtleties and nuances in his voice
The subtleties of South Park. This is cool. I do like the idea of leaving this step off and being like so you've never seen South Park
There's a kid on it. He's a real stinker and he talks weird
Watch Trey Parker demonstrations. He'll just come to your school. Yeah
To try to get you off or on drugs depending on what you want him to talk about
Yeah, he'll talk about whatever you want him to talk about and he'll be like the Bible is great and
Read the Bible still not better. No, that was a little bit like a squirtle. Yeah
Favorite or my favorite is
Anyway
So understand his accent Cartman has a slight list but tends to jumble letters together instead of saying cool and pronouncing all the letters in the word
Cartman says cool
All right, quick round Robin. If we could just see how it's coming along
Still squirtle still squirtle for all of us
Let's actually take a break from doing it. It's so we can maybe get off squirtle
and
He's a loud talker and often sounds like he's yelling at everyone even during normal
I'd love to get off squirtle
What did you just say?
What was that out loud, what did you just say don't worry about it
What did you just say about your brother out loud on our show that you would like to masturbate squirtle?
Yeah, that's what I thought you said out loud on our show. That's a pretty bad thing to say. Don't you think?
I'm just saying you two are in love
Are you I just heard a slack notification pop off Justin. Did you just DM Travis like great jokes about getting off squirtle?
No, I wish I had
Let's try to limit the amount of back channelling that happens in this audio podcast
Yeah, listen carefully to the voice remember Cartman is still a kid who hasn't gone through puberty. So his voice is really high
Was that it's really I even as a joke
Can I tell you what's bad in my head I thought I was nailing it
Hone in on the pitch the pitch is the noise created based on the rate of vibration of the vocal folds. I think it's up there
The sound of the voice changes as the rate of vibrations varies so this is easy all you need to do is
vibrate your vocal cords
Mentally go into your cords grasp those muscles with your mind neurons
Flex them in a way that is necessary to create Cartman's voice perfectly
Travis you're just sort of dying as the Crip Keeper over there. I'm trying to find the right pitch
Alright, alright, me goal. I want you to be chill there
That's good
You guys are actually getting into the spirit of it pretty good
Memorized popular phrases you guys already have my precious mom
Yeah, yeah, I'm actually it's getting a little too good if you could take a step back
Okay
That's such a deep cut just that I'm not sure I know what you're talking about
I was it was it Sunshine Factory or something like that. Oh good pull bud. Hold on. I'm gonna do a little look around here
Pick your favorite as a Cartman fan
You probably have your own Cartmanism that you love to hear after watching dozens of episodes determine
Which ones you want to reproduce and go for it?
I mean respect my authority and screw you guys. I'm going home like those are like the
Hey guys, I'm getting him
Travis it sucks that you're good at it. It sucks that it sucks that you're good at it
And it makes it less it makes it less funny actually for the bit what I won't do it anymore because I think that's the best
It might ever be yeah, and now I can't touch that again. You should walk away
Yeah, I'm gonna skip this next step, which is practice practice practice
We'll get we don't need to we're not going to Carnegie Hall
What Travis is incredible Cartman impression that he apparently has in his back pocket
I hate that you know that about yourself now because I know you will weaponize it at some point even oh, no
Just like every episode of my brother my brother me. I'll forget it
Yeah, okay, so
interacting with others as Cartman
Get into character part of Cartman's appeals his bratty attitude towards those around him create this persona by putting yourself in his shoes
Think about what he would say to a friend or someone he despises if you're having difficulty
Consider saying and or doing the rudest most inappropriate thing you can think of and you're there
Well now hold on if you have control over the interaction. Why not make it like nice empathetic Cartman do the voice
Let's say something uplifting and supportive of a friend
Yeah, there's probably a episode that is like he's not a he's not shitty
And it's like it may be a Christmas episode and he's like love you guys. I'm staying here. Love you guys
I'm never in verse of I'm never leaving. There's the one where he thinks he's died and only butters can see him
And so he makes
A lot of South Park not recently not since college when you're required legally to watch it
I didn't actually have to take it as an elective
Yeah, and and he makes fruit baskets for everybody's wronged. Yeah, this is an easy one develop comedic timing
Yeah
If anyone can tell me how to do that that would be keep nothing off limits
If you really want to sound like the beloved I wanted to interrupt Travis throwing himself down on his own blade
Keep nothing off limits if you really want to sound exactly just like the beloved animated character
Don't hold back feel free to say exactly what's on your mind like he does if you notice Cartman comments on race religion politics and everything in between
Hey, wiki. How hey wiki. How no, don't give people that that let's call it Cartman Blanche and let's not
That's really really good trap. It's really good. I'm just saying the political discourse over the last let's say
Six to seven years has gotten a little unruly. Is it possible?
That everyone's on people on a certain side of the aisle is just brushing up on their Cartman impression
Long form they've lot. They're a little bit lost in the sauce
So I thought you were set gonna say like this whole time Chuck Schumer has been working on his car
Man, he's about to break weaponize it for good now
Chuck Schumer is not who I was thinking of when I was describing certain political actors
I'm saying he hasn't used it, but he's ready to use it now
Alliatory sort of usually working on it. So when he decides to stand up to the bullies once
ever
One time
Waiting until his Cartman is perfect. Yeah, and then he's really gonna that makes sense
He's really gonna blast him then. Oh
That that tracks that was my favorite episode of West Wing when the president goes to Congress to be
Are you about to do a Cartman impression to do it as president Bartlett? Yeah, and then they're like
Waiting out
And then and they're like we'll keep him waiting out there and then
President Bartlett's like screw you guys. I'm doing him. You did it and if he was just like
You get horns or
Like in the future, you know crime boy
I don't know is when I decided to kick your ass is and I haven't gotten when your president comes in your room
Sucks, it sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks that Travis is so much better at it
This is the first time that any of us have ever gotten
appreciably better at a thing because of a wiki how article and it's this and it's
You guys can both play instruments and I think this might be my instrument. Yeah, cool
Yeah, show up to a band audition and just be like hey, and they'll be like we wanted a drummer
Yeah, it wasn't good. Oh, no, it's going away. Oh, thank God. Hey, can we can we go to the money's own and we're in the money's own
Baby, hey good. We've got a new Cartman. Don't worry
Don't worry new Cartman is here. Don't worry Trey Matt guys. I'll take over right here
You know, he could be like Jim Hanks. Oh
That's true who that is Jim. Yes, you do Jim Hanks Tom Hanks his brother Jim Jim
He does he does woody in the video games anytime you see woody. That's not in a movie. It's Jim Hanks
I thought it's Tim Hanks
Now that would be wild
because we have
Cousins thing Tim and Tom. Maybe that's what you're thinking of. Are you googling Jim Hanks right now? I am
Check me. Check me. Oh, and it's not that I don't believe you. I just wanted to see a picture of him
And I'm not this you know who he looks like a little bit like Tom Hanks. He looks a little bit like Tom Hanks
Does he look at all like Colin Hanks?
He looks like Colin Hanks. He looks like if you took if if Tom Hanks went to the Amazon
Headquarters because Jeff Bezos invent invented a new teleportation machine
But then they both accidentally went in the same chamber. This is who would this is who would come out the other side
hmm
Yeah, anyway, that's this Jim Hanks
Yeah, let's go the money zone and then we'll
Do other jokes

but Bombas is
Basically like a
Christmas hack
Okay. Yeah, I feel like it's shorthand
For presents when you open them up and you're like, oh socks
But Bombas is a present where you open it up and it's like Justin
I don't okay now Justin's showing me his feet and they do have Bombas on them and now I'm wearing Bombas right now
Yeah, I'm worried about my algorithms my algorithm now
And it's just gonna be tiktok's of my brother's feet, which is cuz you could just say like I'm wearing that wait
Let's get rich. Okay. Wait. Hold on
Keep doing the Bombas. Oh, Justin's gonna show his feet. I'll make fetish content in this window
Yeah, we could sell this on tiktok and you guys talk about Justin
I'm confused about the geometry of your body right now my man
I'm feeling great over here. No worries. I don't think I also realized you got petite little feet. Yeah, it's just a trick of the perspective
I got regular shoot you wear my boy. This is something for everybody seven and a half. No
This lies
Just the perspective. What were we talking about Bombas? That's right
They make gifting easy with socks underwear and t-shirts that feel good and do good now
I'm wearing Bombas underwear right now and Justin you'll notice how I'm not getting up and showing everybody my rocking hog
Yeah, that's that's impressive restraint from travis a man who just spoke like cartman for what felt like 45 minutes
Yeah, um, it's it's I I love my Bombas, uh socks. They're very very comfortable
They got slippers now too. It's what these are basic garments and these are upgraded versions of them
They're the perfect gift for everyone on your list including yourself

Every week on maximum fun dot org
A week before my birthday this year my roommate asked if she could borrow my favorite shirt
I gave it to her and on my birthday
She proudly gifted it back to me having hand embroidered a cartoon character that we both love on the back of it
The problem is the embroidery looks terrible
She admitted herself when she gave it to me that she had to rush the second half of it and it seriously shows
I appreciate the effort she went to but brothers this is my favorite shirt
Is it acceptable for me to quietly pull out the embroidery or pretend like nothing ever happened?
Okay
Oh, this is embroidery unavoidable in washington dc and you're so close to me tell name the price
Do you understand if I owned a shirt that had on the back of it?
a
pixel perfect
embroidered recreation of bart simpson's legs
But then the top half of bart simpson was really shitty
I don't know that I would wear any other garment on the top half of my body again for the rest of my life
You may be in possession of the world's funniest shirt depending on what the cartoon character is the fact
Okay, the fact that you folks
Is there a picture travis? No, there was no picture y'all you have to send a picture now
They did give some additional details that the character the shirt they did not list the cartoon character either come on
Why the shirt is vintage and therefore you're irreplaceable
That uh the roommate and even said I had to rush the second right right right that's in the question
That they are pretty confident they can remove the embroidery without damaging the shirt
But they don't know how to embroider so they can't fix it themselves
this
I I don't see the problem here. I I
No matter how much you love a shirt when somebody half embroiders a good bart simpson on it the value of the shirt
fungibly
aesthetically
It has improved
So much that that the idea of getting rid of it or unstitching
unspooling bart simpson makes me want a fucking barf
I'm mad imagine you got your jacket on right and then it's like oh it's a little hot in here
And everybody's like stunned by the front of your shirt. Yeah, and then you take the jacket off and there's just
Don't want to count like amazing. Yeah, more reveal like a left half of cartman
Good right half of cartman totally fucked up and busted
And everybody's gonna see that and be like what's the story there?
And well then you can you can add a caution below that says like within all of us are two cartmans
Yeah, oh wow when we feed, you know, that's a great point
And also this goes back to answer our first question of how do I make conversation?
With other adults at a child's birthday party
You take your jacket off and reveal
Your half your half simpson and people are gonna be like
What's that?
And you can say
I've I've snagged you. I've got you on the hook now. I just have to reel you in
My friend that's the burden I carry across the world
My friend failed that's the story. Do you want to hear more? They they have failed. Do you like barred simpson?
I used to I used to this shirt has fucking ruined him for me
Easy
I want to munch squad
I want to munch squad
Bob
Welcome to munch squad. It's podcast within a podcast
Profiling the latest and greatest in brand eating and this week. We're gonna go all the way across the border up to canada
every other kfc
In the world
Is doing wild it's gonna surprise you is doing wilder shit than ours. Yeah
Uh
Impossible to imagine but in in you know in kfc singapore. They got a kentako. That's a mac and cheese kentako
I like that. It's uh, it's a you wouldn't like it if you saw it. It's a taco
Shell made of chicken filled with mac and cheese. Oh, I don't like that. No, that's love crafty
Is is why because we can hashtag because we can
Now I believe dr. Ian malcom spoke about this. Yeah, he had some pretty dire warnings if memory serves
Um, but that's not what we're talking about today today. We're going over to canada because we're gonna satisfy our gravings
Oh boy. Is that like killing people? Nope
Uh satisfy our
Gravings
Oh like gravy
Like this like satisfy your gravings
Oh god with the gravy lovers double bucket. This jpeg can't load slow enough juice. This screen share you're doing can't render
Slowly enough so waiting for it to park. There it is. Oh my god
That's a lot. Did you mean to say oh my god? Oh my no. Oh my god
Glade is the gravy god. We prayed to glade whenever there's a great, okay
It's
Gravy season, baby
Oh boy is what it says here in kfc canada has everything you need to let the good times flow
Now I know that canada
They do have a soft spot in their heart for gravy. They put on their french fries and I love it. I like that too
I don't know how I would feel if I had to look in the mirror in that deep dark
I call my eyeballs
and
Ask myself am I a gravy lover? Do I identify do I self identify as a gravy lover?
That feels
I would answer yes until I saw this image and I don't like I don't like this
I'm a gravy enjoyer. This is this is I'll describe the jpeg. It's uh bucket of
Wings or just a bucket of fried chicken
It's a smaller bucket of I believe just nuggets and a bat a box of french fries and there's small
Like almost sort of um
Like medical grade testing cups
Filled with gravy. They're being upended into each of these different
Potentially non
Yeah, gravy proof containers. I would like to highlight
um
An interesting level of restraint that kfc has shown here in which in the background appears to be I think like succotash
and
Corn and they are not getting they are not being the gravy. No, that would be they are not great
but because of the perspective it does look like they are
About a baby swimming pool full of succotash and corn
It also looks like the succotash is hiding behind the chicken bucket as if to say like don't I don't want to be in this one
Do not observe me. So let's let's talk about it as the champion of great
Holiday suites. I made it one sentence in holiday suites can take a backseat to the savory goodness of kfc's new gravy lovers roster
And as the champion of gravy
It's only fitting that kfc scored the savouriest of soundtracks from the one and only young gravy
What for it's festive roll out
Oh, that's friend of young Sheldon
You'll be singing damn gravy you so vicious
Have you seen wet gravy yet? It's his new album is fucking fire
You'll be singing damn gravy you so vicious you so clean you so delicious all season long
Indulge with new new holiday staples new holiday staples is what they is their called shot here
Including the gravy lovers double bucket feast
Featuring eight pieces of original recipe chicken for mouthwatering tender's popcorn chicken and three of your favorite sides
And the gravy lovers sandwich
A delicious hand-breaded filet with buttery Monterey jack cheese creamy mayo and hash brown gravy boat
I I live in dc
So I can go to congress and propose a lot that the words gravy lovers double bucket feast can only be said like
Vincent Nafrio's character in a minute in black
um
gravy
I'm the gravy lovers double bucket feast and I'm here to tell you
And I'm here to say that
gravy lovers double bucket feast is the favorite meal of the gravy lovers double bucket feast
And I'm here before congress asking for more funding for pbs
Okay, can I just say I my favorite thing about the holiday stable claim is I I will admit
I think my favorite part of every holiday celebration
Is when I'm carrying around a container of food
And the sopping wet gravy soaked bottom drops out
And then all the kids clamber together to collect their prizes while the dogs are munching on whatever food is there
Grandma slipping in the gravy dogs
To see who can get the most gravy in my favorite part and my sandwich falls apart in my hand because it has eight different kinds of liquid on it
Yeah, I can't eat
I wish I could find a picture of the gravy lover sandwich because the hash brown gravy boat
Which is expertly designed to be loaded with kfc's delicious gravy
Is this an edible edible croff for your gravy? I guess but they did how could they not include that
In the imagery, right? Like because it's proprietary technology. I mean don't want it pretenders to the gravy
Oh, never mind guys. Don't worry about it. I got it for you. Hold on one second. I'm gonna bring you a live
live feed
Of the gravy lover sandwich. Hold on
Huh
Oh, wow
Yeah
Griff, can you describe what you're seeing here? I don't think I can but I'll do my best imagine a sandwich
with a bun
And then there's a some sort of cream white cream not gravy. It could be some sort of
It's mayo. We've covered this just a second ago. Pale gravy. Yeah, but it's not in this picture, Justin
There's no way that's actual for it. It's mayo or as we think of it in Canada egg gravy
They got egg gravy the tallest
Chicken fried chicken patty I've maybe ever seen a lot of people would have said thick but good on you
Monterey jack cheese. I'm guessing on top of that and then things get weird
And then imagine y'all ever play a video game halo
One of those but made out of breaded potato
I suppose and then in the middle of it instead of there being alien adventures you go on with master chief it is a
A foolhardy amount
Of dripping brown gravy and then the bun dripping down the sand. Yeah. Yeah, it's already an utter mess
The coloring of this and the fact that they've removed the top bun makes it seem like this chicken has suffered a massive head wound
And like the top of its head has been removed and its gravy brain is spilling out
It's it kind of seems like and they've very wisely not shown the sandwich with the top bun on it
It's kind of like rakeishly off to the side. Perhaps it has it's like
Yeah, it has
And I think that it's made
They knew that if you put the bun on and you take a big bite of the sandwich
You're eating
The world's worst gusher
This is a prank sandwich that you bite into
and now you're wet
From the gravy all over your pants and for those who just can't get enough gravy
KFC is satisfying those needs by offering individual gravy servings for just one dollar
And that's one dollar canadian folks. So you do the math
Speaking of those who just can't get enough kfc has gift wrapped the ultimate prize for savory lovers
They're just putting whatever words
Yeah, we're talking or we're talking the chance to meet young gravy get out through tickets to his vancouver show
Paired with kfc
VIP gravy card
The kfc vip gravy card
Is an exclusive pass that gives the lucky holder access to a year's supply
of free kfc gravy
So you can port it
Dip it lick it and even cheers it
Does that come with private security for a year because that person is going to be the target of gravy hungry criminals everywhere
Yeah
Yeah
For the next year you'll have unlimited gravy and young gravy will be there to put himself between you and any danger you face
I don't think young gravy follows you around
He hasn't sworn you a life that I think that you just see it says meet young gravy at his uh show
So i'm assuming he'll just like nod at you from the stage. I can't imagine he's gonna
Uh, okay, so getting young gravy into a life that is on you that you give the opportunity you have to make
You have to make it happen
um, it is impossible to google the ad
for this because
Google keeps saying do you mean cravings?
You mean cravings, right? No
Gravings because i won't let you correct that let google. I won't let you
Correct correct it
This holiday season kfc is giving our iconic gravy the spotlight it truly deserves
