Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:54 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
Starting point is 00:01:45 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
Starting point is 00:02:28 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
Starting point is 00:03:02 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
Starting point is 00:03:48 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
Starting point is 00:04:24 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
Starting point is 00:05:04 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
Starting point is 00:05:32 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
Starting point is 00:06:12 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
Starting point is 00:06:57 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?
Starting point is 00:07:32 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?
Starting point is 00:08:06 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
Starting point is 00:08:43 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
Starting point is 00:09:22 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
Starting point is 00:10:00 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
Starting point is 00:10:34 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?
Starting point is 00:11:14 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
Starting point is 00:11:59 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
Starting point is 00:12:40 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
Starting point is 00:13:18 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
Starting point is 00:13:55 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?
Starting point is 00:14:30 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
Starting point is 00:15:18 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:17:21 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
Starting point is 00:17:54 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
Starting point is 00:18:36 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
Starting point is 00:19:13 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?
Starting point is 00:19:53 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
Starting point is 00:20:34 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
Starting point is 00:21:12 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
Starting point is 00:21:55 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
Starting point is 00:22:36 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
Starting point is 00:23:08 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
Starting point is 00:23:52 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
Starting point is 00:24:52 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
Starting point is 00:25:35 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
Starting point is 00:26:08 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
Starting point is 00:26:38 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
Starting point is 00:27:18 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
Starting point is 00:28:00 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
Starting point is 00:28:47 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
Starting point is 00:29:25 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
Starting point is 00:30:08 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
Starting point is 00:30:53 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
Starting point is 00:31:25 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 I want to tell you guys about Squarespace. I can't believe you guys don't know about Squarespace yet Like how do you guys don't have to be shitty about it?
Starting point is 00:32:02 I don't have to be like that It's just that like I've talked about it so many times and how do you just to the girlfriend not know about Squarespace? I do other stuff during the ads Okay, well try to listen up this time because Squarespace is the all-in-one platform for building your brand and growing your business online Griffin are you online at all? Yeah, I don't know man. He's doing his same fucking thing. Okay. He's doing the same fucking thing We talked about all right. It's just that Okay, you can stand out with a beautiful website Audience and thank you and sell anything your products content you create and even your time Justin if you want to this good
Starting point is 00:32:36 This could really hey Justin since he's not paying attention.

Starting point is 00:37:49 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
Starting point is 00:38:24 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
Starting point is 00:39:01 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
Starting point is 00:39:36 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
Starting point is 00:40:08 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
Starting point is 00:40:45 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

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
Starting point is 00:42:37 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
Starting point is 00:43:11 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
Starting point is 00:43:48 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
Starting point is 00:44:25 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
Starting point is 00:44:52 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
Starting point is 00:45:32 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
Starting point is 00:46:08 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
Starting point is 00:46:39 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
Starting point is 00:47:13 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
Starting point is 00:47:57 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
Starting point is 00:48:20 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
Starting point is 00:48:57 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
Starting point is 00:49:32 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
Starting point is 00:50:06 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

I can't imagine he's gonna
Starting point is 00:51:12 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
