The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed
Travis insists. He's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it
Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening
What's up, you cool, baby
Precious friendship
Could have never seen what was coming for me hangs at the skate park hangs by the beach my life
It feels
It's better it's better with you
It's better it's better with you
It's better it's better with you
Hello everybody and welcome my brother my brother and me. I see you. My name is Justin McElroy
I'm the oldest brother and I see you. I'm Travis McElroy, and I assume that what Justin is saying is a reference to the movie
We're discussing today. Your middle is brother Travis McElroy. My name's Griffin McElroy
Unobtainium, I don't know I have not
Guys, it's happening. It's happening. I can't believe it. It's fun. It's hard to
Travitar
We're here
See my own brother cruising through the novice
amazing amazing see him on the back of a
Banshee or an ecron if you prefer the Navi tongue. Hey
Sincere question of someone who
Has not seen travel. I love to answer all your questions. Okay. I've not seen either avatar movie
Still wild and I know very little about them. You guys have seen neither movie. Correct. Where does the title come from?
Why why is it called the avatar?
Are you kidding? Just you understand Justin's answer cannot be funny
Yeah, no, it's a sincere. I said sincere. Okay the sincere you know about the Navi aliens, right?
How can you not? Yeah, they're on the beautiful blue planet of Pandora. Sure. Yeah, we can't live on fucking constantly
They're just always constantly always be fucking not yeah
Well, they take time out to make little charms for your bracelets, but other than that
We can't live on Pandora. Obviously, so we have these
basically Navi like homebrew Navi that we pilot from
tube
The space tube and we pilot them around with our earth mines. We pilot a Navi body, okay?
And that's our avatar. So this is like the answer movie like you had, you know deep impact and Armageddon, right?
And you had you know
You're not seeing avatar
Okay, you're like Jurassic Park and we're back a dinosaur story
So that was a great joke Travis you got to take a moment to stop
Was so it's an answer movie
To the Bruce Willis film surrogate right where it's like you have an avatar body
That's even sexier than your body
Can I actually tell you why I interrupted you because you were riffing on an old-ass movie?
Yeah by referencing another old-ass movie that nobody cares about while avatar the way of water is
swimming to the top of the box office charts. I
Have to admit here on the cast I did it. I took the punch
I got wet. I had the perfect viewing experience actually
Oh boy
My kids were in school. So at 12 p.m. Hmm the witching out
12 p.m. I went to the mall and I took an edible and
I timed it so that the edible would kick in right when the movie started
But I didn't but it really raced through me and I found myself high at the mall food court
That's the worst possi the worst imaginable place. I think for that. No, it was well
Big loafer. No because I had already eaten a big loafer before I got high
I'm not even or not, but no, I wouldn't I don't like the big loafer. I what I went to
Charlie's cheesesteak and got anyway
the edible kicked in and
I noticed that there was at the abandoned bank. They had opened up an airsoft boot booth
There's an airsoft gun place. So you just come into like a shooting range or a little arena for a shooting range
rules
Yeah, it's an airsoft shooting range in an abandoned bank next to the Chick-fil-A
So I go I roll up and I'm like I've never done this before and he's like I'll help you and he's gave me a hundred shots
for 12 bucks and I was pretty stoned at this point and I just raised this airsoft rifle and
I start firing at the targets
Yeah, and then he's like
You're doing really well. I'm like, wow. Thanks. He said, are you done this before I said? No, I haven't he said
But this is amazing this way said after I finished he said you fuck you you hit 45 out of a hundred shots
I hit these little 10 targets and that was amazing. That's good
You're only gonna get better nice. So then I was very high. So I went to the movie
which is
extrovertibly
Three and a half hours long when you bring in the trailers. Mm-hmm. Yeah
In good ones. In good ones. So happy
Got Oppenheimer
Didn't get Barbie, but got Oppenheimer and was cocaine bear in there. It feels like cocaine bear
I've watched so many times. Not Avatar appropriate. Yes, you don't think it fits with Avatar
I've never seen Avatar, but it feels like it makes sense. So I I got I was like I slipped on the glasses
And I was gone man. I was in the world
Nothing could pull me out of it except for my app that tells me when I can go pee during the movie
Now this movie had five built-in pee breaks, which was chefs when one of the Navi turns to the screen and says you
Could go go now Justin. I
Didn't want to pull myself away
But I did for every single pee break to an extent where the woman working behind the counter around pee break for asked me
Are you not liking the movie?
Too much I was by the way
Solo Mish at the cinema arc
Yeah, you have no one for your first one for your first one. No way. I'm sorry. You're saying the theater was empty
Empty no Griffin empty. It was a pod. It was my own little avatar pod
They're all in a mark Huntington mall by myself. No one was in it. I could just start shouting
I see you Jake Sully. I love you and no one cared and I saw I did when the Ikron would fly through the sky
Can I tell you yeah quick spoiler about avatar to the way of water? Yeah. Yes
Sigourney's in it and I know what you're wondering Travis
Sigourney's character did die at the end of it and the easy answer is that
It seems like God got her avatar pregnant
Wait, that's the easy answer
The easy quick answer is it seems like the God Ewa got Sigourney's avatar pregnant
And then she had a teenage daughter
At the end of what played by Sigourney weaver wait who Jake Sully adopts wait
That's the easy answer is it looks like God got her
It looks like well the way out what are you gonna do is the clean answer is it looks like God got her avatar pregnant?
Okay, like I'm like
Judeo Christian God
No, hey, what hoping a while the God from home tree the God a walk wait got her avatar
But the average is not a real the average like a suit or something. Maybe it's got all the right pipes. You know what I mean
It's got no way. I don't know what I didn't I didn't think that they needed to buy Centennial man
The avatar aliens and I gotta go the avatars
They're really expensive and they got all the right pipes and God doesn't when when God sees a door
He opens a pipe in Sigourney weaver's avatar to put a baby there
It doesn't matter if it was right or not and by the way
This is I'm getting into a little bit of speculation with this God got Sigourney weaver's avatar pregnant
But I'm pretty sure that if the more times I say it the writer it sounds it feels right
Can I can I say you guys also like first three minutes of the movie takes about 20 seconds
Jake's just like and one weird thing is the Sigourney weaver's avatar is pregnant. It seems like maybe God did it
I don't know anyway. Bye
so
the other the other the other the other the other possibility
Uh-huh. There's no other possibility. God got her avatar
Says that's what happens Justin is not
I don't know why there's always like he doesn't say it in so many words James
Jim to his friends and me we
You know his words are obviously much more poetic than that. It's probably something about the life
Stream and home tree, you know, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah beautiful. What once we're underwater. Oh
Yeah, that's when oh the movie goes underwater. Oh, baby. It doesn't just go underwater. It goes through it goes above water
Um, I it's got whales where if you drink their brains it makes you live forever. I mean, it's like why?
This sounds good. Hey juice can the next hour just be you
Explaining everything you know about avatar to me and Travis because it feels like that's the direction the episodes moving in and it's been
A while since we've done one of these. I think it would be a hoot and a half if you would just sort of Rick
We're already 10 minutes in juice. This would not be a bigger commitment than what you're already doing
Just 50 more minutes of us. I don't want to I don't want to spoil the entirety of avatar
Way of water for people and honestly, I can't remember
Which is one and which is two. It's like one seamless six-hour opus to me now, Justin
You don't think who?
Who feels about?
Avatar in such a way that they have not already seen it, but do you intend to see it as some point?
It doesn't seem like that kind of movie to me
It seems like the kind of movie that either you're there like camping in line to see it day one or
Like myself and Griffin. You just never have the time. I'll see it
I will see or there's one person on the call that saw it three weeks after it open. Yeah, me and I'm here
Okay, he's our blood I
Think everyone is in the audience is feeling a lot of relief that they don't have to listen to me talk about avatar
Wait just a counterpoint. Hold on. You were the only person in the theater
So I think my point actually stands you were the last person in America who hadn't seen avatar who wanted to see it
Okay, Travis only flip this on you again
The other person I didn't see in there was any of our listeners saying man
I can't hear wait to hear you talk about this for an hour fair. That's fair. Okay
All right, good avatar way of water. I do want to give it a plug just cuz Jim's a friend
I love to score it out of eight. It's scored out of a hundred wet wet
Well, that's what out of a hundred. Don't be a hey stop it
Don't don't for once in your life take a stand is it and tell me what score you would give
Avatar to the way of water
Tell me out of a hundred so it'll show up on Metacritic
I want your review to end up on rotten tomatoes people will post some of Ben BAM
And then the pull quote of Justin saying like it got me so fucking wet
I love the part where we all they all just had sex non-stop. I guess what I'm saying is it's contextual
That's what's hard for me so out of a hundred you give it contextual
Give me what's hard for me. What's hard for me is that if I had not been under the influence
Okay, it would have been basically unwatchable
how's that but
That's not my fault. So out of a hundred you give it 420
Out of a hundred I give it 420. Thank you. Yes. See it with someone you love. Don't see it by yourself
Probably other people I don't want people to think I didn't like it not unwatchable. That was harsh. It's just so long
It's really long Jim. It's Jim. It's so long bud
Hey, and Jim make it easier on yourself
You could take less time between movies if you release an hour 45 movie
Thank you in in this space Jim
You could have done half hours ago like six years ago and we could be on Avatar 3 by now
Yes, yeah, I would have like five or so the next one on Avatar 3
Listen the next one
Listen
Fire avatars
Well, now you're getting into avatar the last airbender territory. Yeah, there's firing off me in the next one
No, they have to stick with water or they're gonna get Jim. Maybe Jim said maybe there's Jim made a promise Travis
Jim made a promise. He said maybe and listen when he came to Justin in a dream last night
He whispered into his ear fire avatars Justin tell that anything. What do you think about that?
Not all of the Navi are good
Justin you want to learn more I'll be in my secret base inside the Titanic
Not all of them are
Good some of them
The fire will be represented by the ash people
I want to reveal the Navi from another angle because at the moment
I have only shown their good sides Jim if you're worried you might be headed into some thorny racial territory
Don't worry, man. Sounds like you're on super solid
Brain bon voyage James
Have a wonderful film my man
Sounds no problems there
You've been down too long James James you've been down too long you got a service, but come away from the abyss James James
You've got you got the fucking bins James you came up way too fast from the gym
James come up surface James come up slowly. Come up slow James
You got James James I
Am a professional saxophonist when this comes up in conversation nine times out of ten someone will say oh
I love jazz that'd be fine except. I'm strictly a classical
Saxophonist and do not play jazz. How do I break the news that I'm not as cool as they think?
That's from uncool Clinton whistler in the country's capital. You've never played any jazz
You've never played one jazz
Little jazz just a little I'm not saying you're not a professional jazz saxophonist
I get a few beats out for you. No problem
I think I've I've done a little bit of music theory learning
I think if you want to do turn your stuff into jazz, there's just like one note
That you have to take it down a little bit
Yeah, you don't play one note in classical music and boom. That's jazz. Maybe it's about the notes you don't play
Well, no, you do still play the note, but it's make it go make it just a little bit
Lower and then that turns it into jazz and maybe faster. Yeah and funkier
Well, now you're that's a little amorphous. I think it's funky right. She played me some funky Bach as somebody who's
I'm I'm a sax monica player
Yeah, yeah, which is not the same as a saxophone, but it sounds not unlike it
Once I start tooting around
Yeah, and I I even fooled every time I I'm like, whoa, is that a real?
Reedy saxophone that you haven't it, but it's now see I'm more of a sax channeler player and Griffin's more of a sax
Phoebe
I'm a sax Ross if I'm being honest. No Griffin. I would never put that on you, but I would net sax Joey at worst
Ross I would never what if there was a character on friends who was called sax Ross and he or sex Ross
And he would come in every season. Maybe like a Stefan or Kell version of Ross. That was like
Cool sex Ross
There was a this is we're talking about Ross and I have to relate this
The there was a company called long table pancakes that was on Shark Tank and
They make pancakes out of popcorn
They good. Yes. Good. They emailed and they're like we are big fan
They email the sobons address and they're like hey y'all we're bit
We just want to let you know we're gonna be on Shark Tank
We're like big fans of you and we know you like Shark Tank and I'm like whoa
This is I'm gonna watch this live watch what happens live with without Andy Cohen with
Kevin O'Leary and all the gang and they are doing their spiel and
The cat from long tables like and I got a friend once that who's such a big fan
He wants to help me with them and out comes
fucking David Schwimmer and
David and I'm see I'm watching this and I'm seeing David Schwimmer. Just like who was
Yeah, and then David Schwimmer's like handing out popcorn pancakes the sharks and it's like guys
I'm glad you're a fan, but is this all an extended bit for my enjoyment
This is all part of the show. They're like, I know what will really bust Justin up a nuts level
Is watching Ross come in and then Ross is like PS not an investor
Not in any way just a friend
love these cakes
eat up I
think that that has
Answered your question. I think I think I take the notes down sometimes and it'll take the notes down sometimes playing different Ross
For friends. Yeah, there you go. I've got a new thing
So I've been thinking about
versions of games I can play with you guys that are based on my own hyper fixations because
It's all I know and one of my hyper fixations is I'm sure you boys know is my fascination with America's fascination the world's fascination in
The 90s and early 2000s about cartoon shows about animals with abs
It's just okay thing. It was so hyper prevalent. So I'm calling this game
Abnomals and then I want to pause it that it is unfair to say that this is the first game
You've devised wielding your hyper fixation as the main crafting yeah, I'm it
It is I've noticed it as a theme. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not just leaning into it
the first animals show I want to talk about is
Maybe one of my favorite weird examples, which is the the full title Wild West cowboys of Moomesa
And if you didn't know if you didn't know cow
Stands for code of the West
So the full title would be for cow because they're cows
They're full title would be Wild West code of the West the boys of
So wait
I just want to say to get all together Wild West code of the West boys of
Is my OC spin-off now we follow the lives of the boys of Moomesa
so the a lot of
Abnomals and I extend this it's a pretty broad definition, which I include like, you know, like gargoyles and stuff
But Abnomals usually either deal with like space animals with alms or mutated animals with abs and this one is the latter
They lean so fucking hard into this
Okay, so Cowboys of Moomesa dealt with a mutation where an irradiated comet struck the late 19th century
Western Plains and created a miles high
Mesa shrouded in clouds
This is one of the best sentences in the world
everything trapped on top of the Mesa was
Calmatized by the light of the Cal Mets and
Evolved into a boba-pomorfic state
Yeah
Evolved is evolved is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Yeah, it's in Wikipedia. It is in quotes
And then they were inspired by
Wild West culture so what I've done is I've pulled five real character names and
Fake character name and I want you guys to figure out
Which is the fake character name? Okay. Okay. Are you ready?
Yes, can we ask any follow-ups about the characters? Have you built a world for your fake character? Yes, I can
Okay, okay good to know and are you familiar enough with the other characters? Yes
I have the Wikipedia pulled up. I can read about all six of them. Okay, and I want to lean hard into the puns including
Okay, that's a big part. Okay. Number one cowlorado kid
Okay, okay number two cowlammity Kate Kudster
There's no way you thought of that so that mayor Oscar bull only
Jessica Patty Lynn
Wait, what?
Cow Patty Lynn
Barney Finkelberg
Bat blast a gun bat blast a gun bat blast a gun
How ripped how ripped is
Bat blast a gun
That blast a gun is a bat outlaw and he's a bat in this one
They're not all cows even though they were strictly calmatized by the cow met apparently you have creatures
There's lots of go ties as play on trauma. I don't know
But there are ghosts in this show as well
Good. Yes, but that blast a gun is a evil bat gang leader. Okay
Are there any of the other ones you want to know about
No, I'm ready for my answer
Okay. Okay. Can you read them one more time? Yes, they are cowlorado kid
Cowlammity Kate Kudster
mayor Oscar bull Loni
Jessica Patty Lynn
Barney Finkelberg
bat blast a gun
See hearing you say them again makes me want to change my freaking answer
I
I'm ready. No, I'm not changing my answer. Okay
Griffin, what is your name? It's the mayor mayor bull Loni
Mayor bull Loni
Justin, what is your answer? Jessica Patty Lynn. Justin has nailed it. It is Jessica Patty Lynn. Yes
Justin is the first winner of animals
Wow. Hey, Trav, I'm looking at so I'm looking at Wild West Cowboys of Mumeza images. Sorry Wild West Code of the West Boys of Mumeza
Thank you. Boys of Mumeza
Um, I I understand uh, uh, how your mind works, but there had to be a sort of on ramp to you
getting very like interested in looking into cow
cow code of the west boys of Mumeza
Listen, I don't need to go. I'm not on trial here. This is a I didn't know I'm not putting you on. I'm not putting you on trial
I'm genuinely curious what
where cowboys in Mume
Code of the West
Wild West Code of the West Boys of Mumeza
Interd your mind somehow
I told you the segment admitting that his brain does not function like many other popular brains. You might be aware of
Thank you
It's a different if a different talent
I'm fascinated by the idea where someone said you know what it is that people love about teenager ninja turtles
They're animals with muscles that shouldn't have muscles where the muscles go
So we're gonna make sharks with abs. We're gonna make mice with abs. We're gonna make ducks with abs
You are told with abs
You're the philosopher of of a generation
Then I love you
Here's another question
Today, I brought some eggs to work as a snack trying to eat more protein. It explains unnecessarily in the question
Sadly, I forgot to eat them
Now they're in my lunchbox in my backpack and I'm pretty hungry
I need to go to the mall after work to run some errands
Where in the mall should I eat my eggs and what would be the best way to eat them without seeming weird?
They are boiled and still in the shell. I'll be taking the bus to the mall. Should I eat them on the bus?
This is from a peckish in, uh, Penang, Malaysia, which may be a first for us. I don't know
Um, that's that's very exciting
It's very very dawned
Because we're that is a culture
I am wholly sort of ignorant of and I don't know vis-a-vis
Proper times to eat eggs
I'm ignorant of cultures here in america as well. I'm ignorant across the board
So I'm not really worried about that the first time I was in san francisco
I saw them selling eggs at a at a convenience store on the counter
Just eggs like a couple of eggs on the counter. I love that that you could just eat them
And I didn't know that people even did that
I just want to compare the two locations just broad locations right off the bat because it occurs to me
The benefit of eating them on the bus, right? That is a defined shortened time
Right of exposure of people judging you for eating the eggs now it is contained
So everyone on the bus is going to clock it, but it will be done
Quickly because then you'll get off the bus in the mall
People are moving through
Right, they may not notice that you're eating eggs, right?
But then every time they see you for the rest of the time at the mall
They're going to be like that's that person that eggs on that bench
Right, so it's would you rather have concentrated
focus on your egg eating
or
Kind of a more flowy ethereal focus on your egg eating
If I could sort of take travis's
quandary here
And maybe recontextualize it a little bit and I'll just ask you travis
You have to rip a big
Two and a half minute long fart
Would you rather do that
On a bus
I'm gonna look right at the camera. So you so you are actually thinking
Would you rather do that big fart on a bus?
Or in a very large building where people might not even be able to see you people probably aren't seeing it
If people see you they will probably look away politely as quickly as possible
On a bus travis. I understand what you're saying. Here's the amount of air that's on the bus
That you can turn in that egg
That's a one bus worth of egg-free air and then you're gonna sort of
Spoil all that versus a mall is so big
You can egg up that air as much as you possibly can and you're not gonna make a pretty big difference
What I'm saying though, and I understand Griffin. Listen, I'm not saying you're not science shit
I'm saying like physics. Okay, but I'm gonna talk about human. I'm gonna talk about human
Like psychology humans is science. You're it's still science
In a mall people go there for people watching they're clocking people left and right on a bus
That's kind of a like time out like everyone's heads down on their own phones. They're not clocking people
They're specifically trying to pretend like they are like separate, but I'm saying
The bus is a transient like
Universe that doesn't it's like when you're on a plane, right?
There's there's different rules
Justin people gotta help me out planes people have done many things on planes that I wish they wouldn't do
Well, yeah, but you accept that it happens because I accept that a lot of things happen that I wish people wouldn't do
That's different
right like this person
We can't just say like carte blanche these people are all strangers
It doesn't matter how they see you the whole thing crumble. You can't take that out society civilization. Yeah, of course
We you're listening to this podcast or are recording it
You are obsessed with what strangers think of you is fine
Now I will say because I do think Griffin's right because of course. I'm fucking right. You can't I just said you were
Don't yell at me
So if I saw someone eating on a bench like sitting on a bench eating some hard boiled eggs with the most serene
Like
Just like I'm happy to be here. I would think the thought that would pop in my head is they've got it all figured out
Right. Just like look at them happy there. Just sitting eating their eggs peaceful happy now
If you're trying to do it in a firstive secretive way, I'd be like what is what is that person?
But if you're just sitting there like oh, yeah
I'm just here got the Travis is almost right. Oh
Travis can do one thing. Can I respond? Can I respond to that?
First and just say if hold on. I'm consulting the judges. Yes. They say you can you may
Any thought you have when you see a person eating an egg in public that isn't I should move away
Is wrong is a wrong thought and on a bus I don't leave my life
I guess in the heightened form of judgment that you do Griffin if the person's happy
Unless I'm definitely allergic to eggs where one being even present and it's something as big as them all will kill me
It doesn't affect me one iota. Jason manzook is just set up like yes, but what if
You are definitely allergic to that's true. Jason manzook is his deathly allergic egg
So if you see jason manzook is in the mall you keep those in your pocket where they belong
I don't think I would broadcast my weaknesses as much as he has because I do not know that man
I should not know his kryptonite. I should say along those same lines
Superman needs to play it cooler when when kryptonite's around he's really shown it if you would be like yeah
What's that?
I'm gonna go the camera always cuts that guy and he's over
Okay, the okay two things one. What would be worse someone eating an egg or someone eating sunflower seeds
The sunflower seeds are gonna take much much much longer any snack activity like that should not be in like
You have to be careful about the public venue. You have to be in a comfortable space, right?
Yeah, the other thing I was going to say though travis could be right if
You the first thing you do and it's easy is take out one egg and just give it like a
anybody
Anybody want an egg?
Okay, anybody and then
You eat the egg. They all say no, of course because they're not
I don't know a goat
Like they're not right. They're gonna turn down your offer
But they can't get bent on a shape about it because that could be them
They have the opportunity to be cut to be an egg eater too or best case one maniac
Is like oh eggs for sure. Yeah, and then you've got a partner in in crime. Yeah. Yeah for sure
Yeah, you gotta this is this is my new game to go along with abnormals and it's under what context would you accept an
Egg that a bus stranger gave to you
A bus stranger never now a mall stranger
No, stop it. Don't you hey, I played your game good. You play my game good now
Get it play fucking play with you. How hungry and or stoned what I need to be
I think I would probably accept it but not eat it ever
But there's a I think there's a more that's not the game. That's not the game
How what would the circum how travis how am I gonna get you into this egg today?
Is my question what are the circumstances where you would accept it and if I saw a like
Strikingly like off-puttingly handsome john ham type
In like a cool looking fucking pico and like on point
Scarf and like everything combo pop open like a beautiful briefcase and pull out a cigarette like a leather egg case
Yeah, pulled out two eggs and not even asking but just as if commanding eat this egg with me
I would do it
Okay, can I simplify your answer?
Can I simplify your answer a little bit and just say?
if john if john ham
Was sitting across from me on a bus and pulled out two eggs and went to eat one and looked at me and said hey, you want this?
I would yeah like yeah absolutely. I would
Guys, I'm looking at pictures of malls in malaysia. They're fucking incredible. These things are palaces. I wouldn't be eating an egg in here
No way
No way when I eat it. I would feel I'm feel weird in shorts
Not gonna be eating an egg in these incredible balls. These are amazing
These are amazing. These are these are cathedrals of holy shit business
These incredible malls so most countries do malls so much better than us
Well, we use some this country used to know how to make malls. Tell me about it
and now they're all for something
malls
We talked about capitalism here, but yeah, yeah talk about speaking of capitalism. I'm gonna take a stand right here right now
I'm gonna say we should go to the money zone
Do you think
Wait, was that you?
That's me telling you guys to do the ad
Do the ad do your thing. I didn't know that that we could do that
Justin should I talk about Squarespace if I had wanted to engage with you during this period? I would have done it
I'm oh see, but that's what I'm doing. I'm not letting you out
I'm gonna rope you like one of the cowboys. I use Squarespace. Do you want another truth?
The truth is I've used Squarespace to build websites. What kind of websites? Yeah
Well, I updated my wife's campaign website. I updated myself of my friend Michael
From from the internet. He helped me
Make it but then I updated it myself without really understanding anything. How any of it and you've made websites with Squarespace, right?
Yes, it is several several
I once made a website with Squarespace because I was participating. I was helping set up a
Like a trivia pub crawl
and
One of the paper answers was a URL to a website that I built that was like the direction to the next puzzle
I I built the things I bought a sheets website. I don't remember where what it was
But what the address was but I built that with with Squarespace
I bet you could build actual like good websites though to use for your actual business
And not like the website I built that is a tribute to how good my dog is but it comes a very good girl.com
Right, right. You can build any website that you can dream of
basically
Any like terrible
There isn't girl and they got great customer support. All the tools are sort of designed
It's hard like using blocks
So you just like drag the design element in that you like and it looks like it looks good. It looks like a real
website because it is
You did that with geocities, right? I don't remember you put gifts all over place hamsters
We're not listen. We're not plugging our dreaded competition here. We're talking about making

Oh
Parenting it's hard, but don't worry. You're not alone
Belly up to the low bar with one bad mother and let us remind you that fine is good enough
They want to climb on different things and how am I supposed to keep them both from dying?
There is a right way to do this and if I can figure out that right way
I'm going to be a good parent. So that is not a thing
So join us each week and let us tell you that you are doing a good job
You can listen to one bad mother on maximum fun or wherever you get your podcasts
This week on bullseye tom hanks because you've never heard him before
Mad you moron
Thank you for the use of the turn signal way to use your blinker
idiot
That's bullseye for maximum fun.org and npr
Do you think they're gonna mail all of us podcast awards for best ad read or to do are we is just one of us
Going to have to like you gotta share like a stand like a trophy. Okay, cool
Is that what they do at the Stanley Cup?
Uh-huh. They sure. Yeah, everybody has any cereal out of it. Mm-hmm
They wish you wouldn't do that. Well, of course they wish you would miss yours while you have it. You can do anything with a
True use it as a part in it
Ha ha see we said the same thing in different ways
Yeah, let's do another question trying to help more people this year
Uh, I just this morning started a new job at a greenhouse and I noticed there's a dumpster outside filled to the brim with damaged plants
Or plants not pretty enough to sell the customers
I don't care about plants that are ugly now. I know they'll grow to be beautiful
I'm in new jersey
So the weather has been literally freezing meaning if I don't have fast the plants will die for good
But I just started this job at 8 a.m. This morning
Is there a good time to ask if I can have some of those plants the dumpster is right outside
So they'll definitely see me if I just take him from the bin. That's for mean green
Maybe stealing machine in new jersey. This is the best time to do it because having just started
This is the time to be like and what's the policy?
Yeah on the plants like is that a free to a good home
Kind of thing. What's the deal with that because I love uh taking plants and kind of revitalizing them
What's the deal with that because it might just be like no one's ever asked before
Sure, right
This is the best time to do as opposed to I think having worked there for two years and you know the policy on it
You're like, hey, I'm gonna take those though. Those are mine now
I'm gonna go on my trunk on my break
One strong move would be to start fishing them out of the dumpster and then saying
Anybody gonna eat these
No
I'm starving
I'm so hungry
And you throw them then you throw them in the truck say I'll eat these later when I can cook them the right way
The the problem with this is that if you leave those plants long enough
They will regain value as
beautiful loamy
Composts like yeah, the that's the cycle. That's the cycle. That's the cycle. Good shit. So if you take them out there
You're stealing compost really?
Now for the dumpster. I don't know how effectively
You know, it's not like they they got some worms in there or something to help break those down
I think I'll probably dumpsters dumpsters can have worms in them for sure
That's true
But I don't feel like they're gonna be able to do their grim work for long enough to get that rich loamy
Neutral yeah, just like now
Let let me throw this out you take those plans you go home you nurture them
Then you sell them back to the greenhouse. That's profit, baby
That's profit where you're like I fixed these you can sell them again
I got into this grift with my aquarium. I bought some snails the snails laid eggs made snail babies
And then the aquarium was like, oh, you can sell those snails back to us
For your store credit now
I didn't do that and I've got an aquarium full of snails because I was too lazy to fish them out of there
And they ended up growing on me, but I'm just saying that this is literally
No, do you have barnacles travis? Yes, just like the pirates and pirates of the caravan two and three
um
That is an astounding level of plant confidence that I cannot relate to no I look at a plant
I'm pretty sure like
I have I've had really bad luck. I try to plant some pear trees and some berry bushes
Oh, no
Not a single one has survived to this point and to think that you would look at some dead ass plants in a dumpster
Be like what's up?
I got you. You're coming with me. I'm gonna finding forester you
Oh, see I'm a confidence. I'm good with plants, but not deer. It's a different thing a deer trying to kill my plants
I'm in a deer fucking
But I'm good with plants
Uh, so I would do this, uh, but I do think I wouldn't take too many
How many plants can you save at one time? You're not superman. That's true
That's true. You don't want to be so bogged down by the plants. You're trying to save that you forget the the
Your job and family and the plants that yeah your family plants, which is what I call my kids
Uh
Griffin, you look confused a little bit. Are you okay? I'm just sort of struggling with the idea of saving a plant
Wow
Not even looking at that kind of beefy rage to say like, yeah, man, they're just plants
No, what we don't have to worry about everything. You know what I mean? Stop. Stop. Listen
I'm not minimizing this
Because really who saved you is what I'm saying is my big thing that I always say that one is actually pretty clear cut in the plant
We need plants just you can't shit on plants actually you can't they love it
Swamp thing the the plant was saved by the person every time
Yeah, you say that until you're having an asthma attack
So you start huffing that pure oxygen coming right off them then who saved you just I love I do love getting close enough to trees
The good
You must
Travis respect the fact that there is a huge difference between the stance that you're proposing
I have which is me standing in front of a raging
forest fire and being like yeah
Fuck all these guys versus me looking at some plants in a dumpster and being like
shame
Those are free plants man. I love plants
Right, I'm not an eco-terrorist for saying that if a plant in my yard dies or starts to get a little bit brown
My immediate thought is not like
I'm going to give this thing a transfusion of my own human blood to make it no because that wouldn't help it griffin
Unless it's audrey too. We don't know that for sure
Um, I'm glad that there are people out there who look at dumpster plants and say
I could I could do something with that. I'm just I'm not one of them. I say, okay. I didn't realize you were so cold
Okay, no, I'm just saying just busy busy. I guess
Well, you know make time for mother earth for gaia not mother earth. No not mother earth just a few plants
Where do you think the bitches come from the moon?
Just a few plants
All right
I want a munch
Squad sorry. I was taking a drink of coffee, but I want to
Stop fun. I'm in too hot that time
We're gonna munch squad's podcast within a podcast profile and ladies and girls in brand eating
Just this one is uh, is a little interesting
This isn't interesting. I would have so you guys know papa murphy's
No, it's papa murphy's taking baked pizza
On january 9th, this story came across qsr
Papa murphy's taking baked pizza is delighted to relaunch the xlny pizza nationwide
beginning today january 9th
The xlny pizza is an extra large new york style pizza that offers everything you'd expect hot
Is that a typo if it's extra large shouldn't it be el pizza? I'm confused. Sorry travis
You're being kind of silly and I don't love that
Uh, if pizza this big is only 999 and there's a bundle or something. It's the big game is coming up
You know, it's a big game so you can get this taken baked pizza
And they say that we value our guests. We want to show appreciation the zesty flavors combined with the foldable
New york style crust puts an exciting twist on pizza. I mean I would argue
It doesn't it's just that's the pizza. That's from january 9th january 10th
Pizza huts big new yorker returns to menu after 24 years. Whoa. Are you okay with me right now?
Whoa, really?
So the xlny
And then a little bit gobbles a small crumb
Of the the the throne and 24 hours later
Not even that it sounds like years
What oh, I understand. Yes, okay
Yes 24 years after pizza huts stop and 24 hours after
Papa Murphy starts
Pizza huts like let us get back in the game
Do you think that that was like one
Person pulled the trigger. I'm like, oh, yeah, Papa Murphy's. Well, we're gonna do it, too
And then the rest of pizza was like, whoa, dude
We we're not prepared for this at all. What are you doing?
I don't want you guys to get this confused with pizza huts bigfoot pizza. I was going to say
Dr. Reggie fissame
This is the different pizza. This is not the big foot
It's not the big foot. It's the big new yorker and it's back after 24 years
That just announced their famous 16 inch new york style pizza will return to the menu
The iconic pizza will be available at participating pizza hut restaurants would love to visit the pizza huts like uh, no
No way. We're we're kind of we're more we only do margarita pizza
Yeah, we tried they were they were way too heavy to pick up couldn't do it
Justin is this one of those scenarios is like Papa Murphy's like the the generic brand of pizza hut
Where it's just like you go to pizza to get a baked one go to Papa Murphy's to get one and bake it yourself
All right, Travis. I don't know but I mean it's a 24 hour difference. You know who's saved two one order
Okay, so each 16 inch pizza cut features
six
Oversized foldable slices with crispy crust and bold flavors now. I would say six seems like too few
For 16 inch pizza. They all say they're oversized. Hey, you guys size them. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of different
That's on you. I'm not I'm not imagining it. You can easily make that 12
Uh, 24. Heck eight 10. Heck even number really
Heck infinite
The technology pizza cutting technology. Yeah
You can cut that baby in squares
You get odd number then if you want to features bold flavors including sweet marinara sauce and parmesan or rich gango
Chisese on top
She thinks she sees me promise on a rescue. I don't know seasoning on top to mimic an authentic new york pizzeria build
Uh one order the big new yorker extra large pizza comes with double pepperoni
Pizza lovers may remember the iconic menu item for when it was first introduced in 1999
Since being retired for the menu
There have been numerous different requests for pizza hut to bring back the big new yorker
But not until there were shots fired by Bob and Murphy's right
In fact, the company has seen everything from social media accounts dedicated to its hopeful return reddit threads
A reddit thread
Whoa, whoa, they don't just make those for anyone guys
That and then there's even a change.org petition with thousands of signatures to bring back the pizza on menus quote
The big new yorker was a huge hit when we launched it in 1999 setting the stage for future
Industry innovations like pizza hut melts and detroit style pizza
Pizza hut melts is also the headline after a tragic
Cheese cheese accident this entire pizza hut is melted
At 30 larger than our large pizza
Now is the perfect time to answer our customer's requests and bring back the big new yorker in a big way right before wink
The big game
This is so wild because I I mean, I remember I'll show you guys here too. Uh, you know
The big new york pizza made its premiere in 1999
Uh, hey played the fuck out of that game played the fuck out of that game for many years
Then blew out its knee right there had to retire and to see that he's coming back in time for the big game
Because why else would you retire a pizza that's so fucking popular that there's a reddit thread about it?
And then wait 24 years to say what if it was a big pizza?
Yeah, man, we all miss the new big new yorker. It's shin bone
exploded in that one game against detroit
Let's bring it back. It was actually tragically
Injured trying to rescue people from a melting pizza hut
They ran in against all and if his son big new york jr. Which don't get twisted is bigger
It's just the name much. That's how a naming convention works. It's not smaller
Do you think that do you think reggie fees debate was on the phone 24 hours after this with pizza hut like it's time
Bitch, let's go. I think the big foot. I think he was on the phone
He was on the phone with pizza hut two hours after papa murphy's made their announcement like it's he kicked in the door
Like are you ready? Have it? It's time. The prodigal son is ready to come home. You must forgive me now
Someone's out pizza to the hut. What are you going to do?
Will you allow this?
You've forgotten the face of your father
You're allowing yourself to be out pizza
Or my name's not dr. Reggie fees today
I just uh, I'm sorry. This one is more psa and and I know we just covered a lot of pizza stuff
But I have to keep abreast of this situation. We got a new chicken sandwich
from golden chick
Which I think in a real impressive bit of honesty here is calling it the big and wicked chicken sandwich
Which I think introducing a new chicken sandwich at this point is wicked and I think it should be actually illegal
People have been hurt people in the in these in these uh chicken sandwich wars. Sometimes it is bystanders
It's possible. They've been in the foxholes
For the last like four or five years and like they're just coming out
Yeah, they've been workshopping this for so long. They can't not fire it
You know, this feels like the first time one of them has written a press release though because it's
The new offering begins with a hand-breaded all-white meat chicken breast
It is fried to golden profession and then coated in golden chick spicy
A lot of zing seasoning blend as soon as it gets out of the fryer. It's a lot of detail there
I don't know. You need to know exactly when you do it. Yeah, I could make one of these myself now
I don't need your yeah, I would also say if you're writing a press release for a chicken sandwich
I think uh, everyone reading is gonna assume it starts with chicken
I think you can just say like so standard chicken, you know, it's chicken on brog standard chicken
You know a chicken sandwich you must know by now, right?
But then we do our thing and put our weird sauce on it
It's then placed on the brand's iconic extra large fresh baked yeast roll and topped with a lot of zing sauce and five pickles
To create a tantalizing sandwich that is sure to leave mouths watering
You know, I hope it doesn't leave my mouth watering after I've consumed it. That would be uh, a really unfortunate
Side effect maybe from the spiciness of the lotta zing sauce
That is both soaked in and covered in it sounds like uh, menu innovation sits at the forefront of our plans for 2023 says mark Parmerly
President and chairman of golden chick the popularity and rave feedback that has surrounded previous creations like the big and golden
And nashville hot gave us the inspiration. You didn't create nashville hot
We're excited to continue to introduce unique
combinations to customers that keep them excited about our brand and coming back for more
Our innovation strategy has introduced our brands to many new customers in the past several years
Dozens in 2022
We had four successful limited time offering campaigns each driving double digit traffic counts
Our latest creation that doesn't seem like very that's a joke, right? Is this a joke? Is this all a joke?
We did think double digit
10 double digit traffic counts
That means somewhere between 10 and 99 people are between 10 and 99
Cars I guess or people I I don't know travis
I don't understand it either. That can't be what it says. Justin
It can't be like we were so successful 10 people came our
chief marketing officer Howard terry
Um wax poetic about this bad boy when he said our latest creation the big and wicked chicken sandwich
Was consumer tested extensively
I imagine my relief terry. It would be pretty weird for you to be like eat this adult
We don't care about man
We didn't have time to get it past the FDA. I don't know man. Oh, no if you find chunks, just throw them out
There's a and then he says this he says we bought these from a friend of ours who said he got it from his cousin
I don't know man
It was consumer tested extensively and we are very optimistic about its
success terry my man. It would be wild if the inverse was true
We're just really pot committed at this point and uh, we've gone so far. We can't
Golden you might you might like it. I don't know man. None of us do but half heartedly shoved new sandwich across counter
Then leaves for him. Hey, please enjoy the new is this anything sailor foot?
Let's just say we got four crates of uh, chucking off the back of a truck and uh
You need to eat this today because it can't be refrigerated
I would eat it before you get home just to be safe
I okay valeri said that terry. Sorry. Howard terry are laid again
Big and wicked chicken sandwich was consumer tested extensively and we're very optimistic about its success
There's a lot going on with that sandwich
A fresh baked bun
hand breaded chicken breasts
Um, five pickles five plus our signature a lot of zing sauce
Is the number of pickles important? I'm not a pickle. That's how you get you get the circle Justin four pickles. That's the square
That's not it five is the closest you get. I'm just saying that
Instagram
I don't think you can say there's a lot going on with that sandwich then list off four elements
Yeah, that's a lot more. I mean, that's not a lot of elements
Yeah, you're like, oh man, this sandwich is wild. It's got a bun and me and two toppings
This thing's out of control. It's hard to keep up with in fact, some people might not get all the elements of it
Sometimes it's a lot to keep up with
Please give us a little bit of grace
As our chefs work to really nail the number of pickles. Oh wait, did you do
Fuck, did you put hot on that one? No, I forgot to do hot on that one. Damn it. Was that six pickles? We're bankrupt
No
Oh, shit. I forgot flavor on that one. Shit. I know there was something. Thank you so much for listening to our podcast
