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

Thank you for coming to my press conference. As you know, I'm your millis brother Travis McRoy I have an important announcement to make every year when it's time for us to choose the theme for the year I bring a list of let's call them what they are clunkers. Yeah, sure So this year I'm proud to announce. I've hired a team of expert writers
Starting point is 00:01:43 Oh, no kidding. Okay in the common fashion. I will not credit. Yeah, sure. Help me come up with a really good list I mean you can tell me so you can tell me some of the name because Travis I heard you've been Bumping elbows and shoulders and uglies with Jay Leno. Is that true Travis? Did Jay help? Let's just say it rhymes with Leigh Geno I okay, and and Justin how can we fucking compete man? We may as well hang up. Let Travis Leno handle Sorry, I'm thinking about how much it sucks that somebody said bumping uglies once it was like I should say this again And then and then many many years later a man on a podcast suggested doing it with Jay Leno thereby sort of
Starting point is 00:02:28 Circuit recent house fire sufferer Jay Leno, but he had some time on his hands to help me Okay now man, you miss a lot when you're not on Twitter and also Twitter's dead I had no idea about the Jay Leno thing folks. I wouldn't I wouldn't a goofed about it had I known this stuff What happened I guess his stuff burned up Travis just said it. I don't know he got seriously injured in the fire. Okay, fuck Okay, though. This is Travis Google it now. You're kind of interrupting my press conference. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Go ahead Okay, so With that in mind
Starting point is 00:03:03 Do you want the one that I think is going to be the winner just right off the bat? Or do you want some of our fun ones first? What do you want? I Mean, are we that's not how this works? That's really not how it works at all It's really not how it works. But my press conference the way it works is at first I have to read all of the names. Yes all of the years that we've had previously just keep in mind I spent most of our 2023 budget on hiring these writers and the deck. No for sure for sure. So Okay Now don't is it are you guys looking at the list? I'm looking at pictures of Jay Leno taken recently to make sure

That's been it's been the funnest theme. I think yeah the most the most actionable for us with our our ensemble at live show I may throw the cape on actually that Amanda our business manager gave to me at one point because One last right my my my tire was so clumsy. Yeah, put the cape on I'm gonna open up a Google doc that we can yeah, I had to do this last year. It's no fun Yeah, I'll do it. So as a reminder. We're coming up on 2023 just in case anyone wasn't sure what year it was going
Starting point is 00:06:36 I definitely came up with a few and then realized that's a 20. That's another 2022 one. Oh, okay okay Travel let you kick things off. Okay. So do you want wait? So we do this every year. Hi. Hi everybody It's Justin Travis and Griffin. It's silly boys and it's time for us to do our fucking work now sit down and listen. Okay This is legally binding. I have not accepted any submissions. No, yes from from anyone This is just our own if you don't like the theme. That's too bad It's permanent until we unless we change not only if I not accepted any submissions I have not been in any
Starting point is 00:07:11 Website or public space where the submissions line have even been seen. Okay, that's true They would have had you would have had to mail it to me. Okay. Okay. So in the past I know that one of my problems with my clunkers was I just rhymed the last word right and three is easy to rhyme So I tried to make it more both rhythmically the same Okay, so the first one that me and my crack team have come up with boy. This better be good 20 sunny D. All right, mom Okay, so now, okay, so I had 20 I also had 20 sunny D. I don't know if that means it's a good idea or the worst Okay, Sydney actually suggested it to me. Okay. She felt very good about your subtitle. I I wanted to suggest though as a subtitle
Starting point is 00:07:54 20 sunny D the good year kids go for oh See mine was 20 sunny D. All right mom. Oh, yeah, I like that now Can I hit you with 20 sunny D? Unleash the power of the Sun? We just use their tagline For sunny is that their tagline now? It I mean it was their tagline for a long time sunny D. Unleash the power of the Sun I hope that's true. I really hope that what I'm saying right now is right and true because it now We very dramatic It's a very dramatic tagline. All of those are very positive orange. This would be the fucking wildest Mandela effect thing
Starting point is 00:08:30 If I if I personally dreamed up unleash the power of the Sun Anyway as a motto for like something you can do for 365 days. Is it a leap year? No, not on odd years, huh? That's not how that works That you can unleash the power of the Sun Here's the other thing that I like about 20 sunny D Which is very powerful. We all kind of found it in our hearts or my wife found it and told me about it But your wife lives in your heart. That's true Later out by the way spin we could spend the year trying to get this could be our first sponsored year
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah, but we spend the year trying to get money. Oh From sunny D. Now that actually goes with another one of mine Justin, which is oh, you're gonna do two in a row That's great 20 money tree time to sell out Now what is money tree like I planted and grown your own money tree We're printing our own money money doesn't grow on trees, but it does if you sell out I mean, I think it's about time for us to get into Just sort of like our mad money Jim Kramer yeah phase and this could be like a good on ramp for that Okay, you're not feeling it that's fine, that's fine. I know I it's it's it's too capitalistic
Starting point is 00:09:48 Yeah, I feel like I will write it down, but it is Okay, what are you gonna money tree? What was your subtitle Travis time to sell out time to sell out okay? Griffin I'd love to hear one of you sure. I mean we've done a lot of I would say be based Work in the past this in this particular segment, but it seems like if this year we don't Like we're missing a pretty prime opportunity. I do have 20 honeybee. Don't wait pollinate. Oh, that's good now Griffin I also have 20 honeybee Mine is 20 honeybee unfinished business
Starting point is 00:10:25 Unfinished business. Yeah, because listen we it was 20 honey down. Yeah, but I think we all agree in 20 honey There was one of your business. We didn't get done. Yeah for sure. Yeah, I And then I'm I make sense if I may I have built out a whole sequence and then it's 20 honey hive Back in business Wow, and then the spin-off 20 honey vine monkey business and that's a crossover If we oh, I wish I could go to sleep for six years and wake up in 20 20 vine monkey bees 20 20 honey vine monkey business Oh guys, if we're still recording this in 20 honey vine, something's got terribly wrong I hope I hope to be in my in my Grand old man phase of podcasting where the youngins come to me and ask for tips
Starting point is 00:11:13 We got to spend time altogether as a family for the first time in like three Christmases And as we were leaving be used to talk about how much she wished she lived in the same house as all her cousins And I said well Maybe when you grow up and become adults you all can just like get a house together all six of you and I said and she said and you Guys will be there too and I said no me and mommy will be touring the American Southwest and she said no you'll be dead No, let me let me let me hit you guys with this. Okay 20 bloody tree life finds a weed 20 blunty tree 20 blunty life finds a life finds a 20 blunty tree Life finds a weed and it's basically a tree that fucking funny. Yeah. No, I like that
Starting point is 00:11:57 Yeah, I like that one creating a new tree the gross blood. Yeah, that's cool. It's like a character. Does he talk the blunt teacher? Oh Good question like a giving tree. What is the blunt teacher you sound like Justin tell me now? He doesn't he doesn't talk. He just smokes you out. You don't need words. All right. The blunt deeper than words Deeper than words deeper than words. I like Whatever, can we agree now that no matter what the year name is our tagline will be deeper than words deeper than words Well, that actually would work for another one of mine 20 Kenny G deeper than words. Okay. Okay 20 Kenny G Deeper than words because it's the music of the saxophone. Yeah Yeah, yeah with our history though of whiffers the problem
Starting point is 00:12:41 I worry about is if we name it after Kenny G halfway through he's gonna take a real foreshort For sure, definitely. Yeah now with that in mind. Let me throw this out This one. We're really churning through but I don't think any of these require more 20 wait and see check back in October That's cool. I had 20 wait and see Like where's the rush? I didn't actually have a tagline for that one Because you know, we always sort of encourage like act Go do it. Don't be afraid do it 20 wait and see don't be hasty now Back in mine was specifically saying check back with us in October
Starting point is 00:13:20 Right, you will pick a more applicable name for the year knowing what we know then it's kind of kicking the can down the road Yes, right, but it would be a better name What wouldn't I feel like by October? We could really lock down like a pretty solid name for the year having like all of the either good or bad things that had happened Now can I give you guys the one that I think is gonna be a no Okay, sit on I give you another one then. Yes. Okay. Yeah, give us another bad one Okay, now this one is gonna answer What might be history's greatest mission memory
Starting point is 00:13:55 You gotta stop setting these up so much because you're you're pretty you're bringing everybody up here Yeah, most of them are down around. Yeah, so what's the question we got asked the most? Well, this year will answer it 20 Who's the me? 20 who's the me who's the me? Yeah, who's the me and my brother my brother me this year? We'll figure it out. Oh, that's interesting sad 20 mystery on here follow the clues But that only barely that only barely rhymes I will admit what about 20 mystery pick up artistry 20 mystery No, that's interesting. Maybe we can reclaim that, you know
Starting point is 00:14:30 Maybe one of us starts going by mystery for the whole year and we just try to take it back That's too cool of a name for someone like that to have it. I think a gray 20 I will I will say this I would be cautious about that one because every once a while I'll remember mystery exists and I'll go check out his Instagram and he doesn't have to seem to be a consistently happy man Oh, okay The the road has been bumpy for a mystery. Okay, I can't imagine why I have like 14 of these. Oh, okay. Wow. I don't okay Yeah, so I might drop a couple here 20 Jubilee a special celebration
Starting point is 00:15:07 That feels a little bit like though our current year's motto. I know now as I say it out loud Well, and we just wasn't the Queen's Jubilee last year and then she died Yeah, the plat the platty jubes right the platty jubes the platty jubes last year and then she did she did pass So I don't want that to happen to any of us. So maybe this game is not gonna be it But speaking of the Queen 20 cup of tea something's brewing This one's like I don't know this one could be fun It could be fun for us to do a motto that's like we don't know but some I feel something something something's in the air He's like that one though. It's not at all actionable. In fact, it's much like 20 wait and see
Starting point is 00:15:52 Unactionable to act on it is to fail 20 Chucky free the dolls gotta go. Let's get them. So that is just a year without Chucky Is that what it is a year where we yeah, it's a year without Chucky Not the media property Travis not the film and TV series Travis. We're gonna get his ass Get him out of here. They won't be able to make it They won't be able to make another episode of the TV show They won't be able to make another movie because we'll get a TV show. Yeah, man Chuck he's blowing up man. Yeah, he is and he's gonna blow up
Starting point is 00:16:24 I'm put dynamite in his mouth and throw him off the cliff and shoot the dynamite to kill him at the end of the movie The last yeah, that's a cool. That's the only way to kill a Chucky Exploding and falling 20 manatee large and in charge. Oh But they aren't particularly in charge. Yeah Yeah, I mean, it's not funny But like number one cause of manatee whoopsies is they float too much and a boat comes and that's who's Yeah, yeah, okay, maybe not that 20 potpourri mix it up
Starting point is 00:17:00 No, I like that one. What can I go back to 20 manatee for a while though? Yeah, yeah, sure 20 manatee float on Again, there's there there's we seem to be sort of gravitating towards an option That embraces inaction and I would maybe caution us against that Because we're going to be saying this thing at all of our shows for a long time With 20 potpourri, that's not trail mix. No, that's actionable right there don't eat that it look listen It looks so tasty when you see it in a bowl. That's potpourri my man don't eat that We're condemning people to spelling potpourri. I try it's misspelled in the Google doc where I wrote it down It's misspelled as I've just written it. I have no idea. It's not POTP you are our eye and I knew that as I wrote it
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah, that's that's nothing 20 son and see serves up bra 20 son and see 20 son and see is pretty cool. I Could I've never had any interest in the sort of beach life aesthetic But I know people who do and they seem pretty stoked pretty much all the time I be right the people who are just sitting at the beach all day and they don't need to you know those people That go to the that you see at the beach, but they didn't bring yes a bunch of yes Yeah, yeah, and they just have like maybe a towel that they're sitting on yeah
Starting point is 00:18:22 And that's yeah well on their board like when you see them come out of the water And they're holding their board under one arm and they do with their other hand they like do the thing with their wet hair Yeah, they look really yeah, they look and they maybe sit on their board. They don't need a towel They don't need a towel Even if their towel blows away, they're not gonna care, right? Yeah another time back to nature. Yeah, I'd like to be one Guys and we could sort of embrace a whole sort of Jack Johnson kind of Aesthetic at our show me son, and that could be fucking fun. I like 20 son and say I'm gonna go ahead and disqualify
Starting point is 00:18:59 20 undersea wetter and better is when I had on here because that seems like not as good of a aesthetic as 20 son and 20 What what did you say 20 undersea wetter and better? Do you need to go ahead and remove that from your list? No, I'm good. I'm you're calling all of them I'm not doing any editing right now because it needs to be a complete and if we're going with a song wouldn't it be wetter is better No Okay, no no Travis no, but Speaking now as long as we're as long as we're in this
Starting point is 00:19:31 This area of the globe in this biosphere. Yeah, I did want to just say 20 hunted see the beast dies today Getting on and with ever your whatever your motto is it's motivational motivational to get something get something Well, we did become the monster and I do like then book ending that with the monster dies today Yeah, it's like hunted sees like the surface of your face Yeah, I almost went at 20 hunted see spears at the ready But I didn't want it to be like we're hunting like there's stuff in the ocean Some people don't want to hunt. Yeah, I think and like whales. Yeah
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, and I don't want people to do but like a sea beast. Yeah, like herring your village or whatever Oh, yeah, I do you crack in yeah now most of the time though crackings they're misunderstood because most of the time they've been contained and And I bet if you just let crackings live their own life though mostly leave ships alone But it always seems like ghost pirates or bad pirates have taken the crack and hostage And then they're like, I'll let you out if you attack jack sparrow, you know, you guys get it 20 apple bees Eating good in the neighborhood
Starting point is 00:20:46 I I've realized now that I've just written a bunch of brands that rhyme with three and then just put their catchphrase after it And it doesn't quite rhyme with three does it because apple bees doesn't really an apple is just a real long walk from From 20. It's not even sort of in the same. Okay. Let me hit you with this one. I actually like this area Yeah, this one doesn't suck shit. This is a good one ready 20 dungarees do the dirty work Oh Um, I don't think kids know what dungarees are and I'm barely clear on it. I think it's like it's like Well, it's like a jeans overall, isn't it? What is it brown jeans? I thought it was brown jeans
Starting point is 00:21:28 This is good because no one really seems to know what dungarees are Okay, you ready No, it's trousers or work clothes made of blue denim. Yeah. Okay. Yeah to the dirty work And and okay, do the dirty so this is this would be embracing a much more sort of You know blue collar aesthetic. I think we can all agree that we got pretty like coastal elite like Unrelatable this year with our fancy takes flight And so like what if we just sort of plugged back into that kind of you know
Starting point is 00:22:02 Dirty dirty work dirty, you know what I mean? Yeah Just got back to the land No, do the dirty work now that it is a lot like 2013 though. I fear yeah, you're right now at a certain point We've been doing this for 86 years. Justin. We're gonna. Yeah touch on similar streams. It's true 20 run and free wide open spaces Hmm So I I sort of evoke the american west. Thank you I sort of uh assumed that free was gonna end up in
Starting point is 00:22:34 All of our suggestions. I had 20 wild and free nature's calling Okay, but but run and free is closer to 23 Then why open the brief is that you have to kind of I started this whole press conference by saying my clunkers in the past did not rhyme the whole thing And you have given me active shit about that in the past and then griffin you're just bringing a lot of one syllable rhymes Run and free It wasn't impressive about rhyming the word three. That's not you it's got a giving tree 20 you and me
Starting point is 00:23:12 20 Franken stuff franken Frank it that's a bad one. We all agreed that was a bad one. It was just we wanted to get there right right Thematically. All right, fine 20 20 run and free Oh What does that mean like where's word you want us to Scooch well, it was my last way of saying touch grass Okay, touch grass, but that's not I don't care for that. I don't care for that travis 20 run and free break the chains
Starting point is 00:23:44 Nope, that's not it either 20 run and free look look out for that tree 20 plant a tree o2. Oh, yeah 20 plant a tree o2. Oh, yeah I feel like I need to say yours out loud after you say them just to get the feel of it. No, it's good I appreciate that. Yeah, it's nice to hear it out of someone else's mouth 20 plant a tree. Yeah Are we saying that plant a runs with 20
Starting point is 00:24:10 Planta 20 20 23 plant 20 tree. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no no plunge a tree Plunge a tree and we just got right back to plenty tree 20 plenty tree Yeah, sorry juice and you're not gonna there will be no more sort of arboreal Suggestions today that are gonna top blunty tree for me. Like if that's the direction we want to go
Starting point is 00:24:35 That's the direction. Yeah, but the thing I did the thing that drew me that to 20 Plant a tree is it's very doable. Yeah, you get a tree I planted it like three trees last year. I didn't even mean yeah, dude You know, like it wasn't even on purpose if you eat it if you eat it a whole apple and you just threw it out the window It you may have just done a tree for all you well if you eat it a whole apple You would have to dig a hole in poop in it and then bury it because you eat it the whole that's probably good for it That's probably good. Oh, definitely. It will start the process inside nutrient rich bed. Love it. Yeah, 20 funny 3 a year of the macroi brothers
Starting point is 00:25:13 Now that sucks. What? That's a bad 20 funny 3 a year of the macroi brothers, but like maybe 20 funny 3. We're back Oh We're back a dinosaur tail I I Anything sort of self-referential like that kind of gives me hives even Does it give you honey hives? No back it does it
Starting point is 00:25:38 I do like the idea of staging a reunion for the many many people that have fallen off of the show To try to convince them that we're back doing it again. It's like they're back. Yeah. Yeah, man in a big way Yeah, they're back in a big way years all about it Um, okay. How many more like suggestions do you guys that's all mine? I have I mean, I don't even know if you would count this as a suggestion, but I do have 20 rumpelties meow arveless But I feel like we go in a lot of anthropomorphicized sort of animal directions Meow arveless meow arveless meow arveless 20 rumpelties meow arveless
Starting point is 00:26:28 Okay Okay I mostly just we watched cats while high a little bit over the holidays and I think I just got I think I just got rumpelties are on the brain Yeah, is there anything that you got that like 20 mtb No, no no I couldn't come up with I the best I had was looter up and I don't think that That's not much of anything. Um, what other dirt do I have? Um, just before I forget because you guys mentioned plenty tree
Starting point is 00:26:59 Money tree. I did think of 20 giving tree all for love. No, but that's nothing That's just sad. I think it's the problem. All right. Let's get can we be hold on Let me just impress the button the tom hanks sully button that you have on the soundboard Okay, can we be serious now? That was it. That was the button. Justin just pressed it and that was tom hanks doing it No, just is trying to remember which button is the my wife button I don't have it. I don't I don't even think my buttons are working right now. Dang it. Okay. Um Do you want to be serious of the sense that you have a good one?
Starting point is 00:27:34 I have one that I have one that I think could be good with the different subtitle Okay, oh Okay, I had 20 you and me deeper than words Mmm Just us you and me No, no bullshit No, no sort of surface level skipping a stone off the surface
Starting point is 00:28:02 Of each other. I do think that we got I remember in collaborating. Some people were mad at us because they're They didn't want to you know, that's interesting. Yeah, like they didn't want to get the dirt and get it out Probably they didn't want to collaborate with other people. So they're upset with that one. What about along those lines 20 know and me Get to know yourself Okay, sort of standing or opposite. Yeah, but if that's the thing in the past we've had building bridges We've had a collaborate team. We've had a lot about working together But what if this was just about self introspection? Our culture has already gotten plenty of that. I think I think everybody's got a belly full of
Starting point is 00:28:42 self self self-obsession I think that may be Encouraging not needing to encourage this value. Not self-obsession. Just an introspection Guys 20 penny free round it down Okay, okay 20 penny free with the pattern you've been doing just and I assume this is about Killing penny wise and 20 20 penny free pound the clown His name's not penny. That's nothing. That's his first name. His name is mr. Wise, but you can call him penny
Starting point is 00:29:17 what i'm saying is the penny Has outlived its usefulness. Okay, and I know it's got its it's got its proponents And I understand the arguments for yeah, what i'm saying is that it's got to start somewhere Getting rid of the penny and maybe this podcast. Let it begin with me. Sure. I for sure feel you and understand But don't round it up. That's the problem The problem getting rid of the penny is that we'll have to start rounding up And a lot of low-income americans don't don't need that extra spending in their bills, right?
Starting point is 00:29:49 So we're rounding it down to that answers a lot of the issues four cents or less No, we always round it down when when canada got rid of the penny chipotle canada was like we're rounding it down Yeah, so here's what i'm saying round it down. So instead of now is anyone ever is like four dollars Yes No, it would be 495. Oh, right because they're still nickels, which are next by the way No one wants us working out up until we've gotten rid of decimals Entirely has anyone ever proposed Rolling up the values. So it's like yes now a penny still exists
Starting point is 00:30:26 But now it's worth five cents a nickel is worth 10 a dime is worth 25 A quarters worth of dollar dollars worth two dollars and we'll just keep rounding those. Uh, yeah Like moving those I think our economy has been doing plenty of that this year travis to disastrous results It's called inflation and it's bad But this but no we would make all the we would make everybody would get paid more too And I think that's so smart. Why don't people think about that? It costs less in my in my Thing justin means every penny someone has just quintupled in value overnight

We throw out two a different Uh tagline 20 dungarees work hard play hard That's cool That kicks ass. I've never heard that before that kicks ass trap Thank you. Work hard and wait so try But you're both working hard and playing hard. Yeah, sorry. Sorry. Sorry hard. Can I fix the syntax? It would be 20 dungarees work and play hard Well, no because the work hard has to come first because you work hard and then you earn the right
Starting point is 00:46:07 But it's it's an efficiency of language thing It would say work and play hard griffin that would imply that we are working and playing hard at the same time There's an order here. Maybe it's work hard thin play hard Work hard then work hard Yeah, no, um What about work or play hard? I would be fine with that Work or play hard. No, we've lost. I'm it's lost its power.

It's so hard every year. I feel like so many people are the pressure This is the only episode that I feel pressure about all year. No, because it's not just like like I was Think about this listener at home
Starting point is 00:48:11 I in the year of our lord 2022 at some point I was in a bathroom stall Trying to get tuxedo pants button around my gut.

We have to make we have to make it
Starting point is 00:48:45 Once a year, we're under pressure at a complete work Do you understand what that's like that people care about that is important that some people care about Are we cutting 20 while wild and free is not close enough to 20?

Sorry could no And didn't right or two very different but I could get sized And purchase as an investment a cool cat a business cool cat suit That I would wear to every show now griffin
Starting point is 00:50:28 I would pause it that no matter what we pick for the year you could still do that It sounds like that's something you're into because you would not get sized for just to uh boil down what you just said You would not get sized and have a custom made suit suit Yeah, but you would get sized and have a custom made cat's Costume a stage Yes Authentic because you can wear that if I wore that suit to every show you guys would make fun of me You'd be like there's griffin and is incredibly handsome custom suit from from georgio money. That does sound like us. Yeah

Starting point is 00:53:18 I am drawn to 20 son and C I think If interpreted not strictly literally Um It can it can encompass a lot of the messaging that we seem to have in a few of our other Titles here specifically unleash the power of the sun. That is yes. This is true. Can we do a little workshopping on the tagline? Yeah, because surf's up clearly isn't it? No
Starting point is 00:53:48 Um, because I went to like island life, but I don't think that that I think you could do son and C in Atlanta, you know on the coast Uh 20 son and C 20 son and C A day at the beach. That's not it But you need to say it unencumbered 20 son and C Point break, um Now listen, I don't I don't know that 20 son and C fills me with laughter and love It's just not I it's just not very like I don't feel like if you imagine us in 20

Um 20 hunting sprees Let's see if we can find them 20 Honey, I feel like the unlocking the power of not making the first word 20 Is like
Starting point is 00:55:47 It's taboo. It almost is. I'm afraid to do it. I mean, we've done it before serpentine No, 2017 frankin 19 frankin 19 was the whole I mean 20 You gotta remember also like These these these used to be a lot more wild like it like 24 word does not rhyme Hmm By the way, you were uh, correct We retro actively named 2011
Starting point is 00:56:16 When we were recording episode 440 in 2019 We retroactive according to the wiki. We retroactively named that one.
