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 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
Starting point is 00:00:54 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
Starting point is 00:01:40 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?
Starting point is 00:02:14 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
Starting point is 00:02:54 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
Starting point is 00:03:35 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
Starting point is 00:04:12 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
Starting point is 00:04:51 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
Starting point is 00:05:29 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
Starting point is 00:06:04 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
Starting point is 00:06:41 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
Starting point is 00:07:20 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
Starting point is 00:08:01 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
Starting point is 00:08:38 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
Starting point is 00:09:18 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
Starting point is 00:09:44 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
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:11:07 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
Starting point is 00:11:43 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
Starting point is 00:12:15 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
Starting point is 00:13:01 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
Starting point is 00:13:29 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
Starting point is 00:14:10 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
Starting point is 00:14:45 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
Starting point is 00:15:35 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
Starting point is 00:16:10 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:17:31 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
Starting point is 00:18:03 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
Starting point is 00:18:40 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
Starting point is 00:19:15 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
Starting point is 00:19:52 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
Starting point is 00:20:44 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
Starting point is 00:21:17 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
Starting point is 00:22:05 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
Starting point is 00:22:49 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
Starting point is 00:23:28 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
Starting point is 00:24:00 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
Starting point is 00:24:37 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
Starting point is 00:25:08 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
Starting point is 00:25:42 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?
Starting point is 00:26:09 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
Starting point is 00:26:40 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
Starting point is 00:27:17 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
Starting point is 00:27:39 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
Starting point is 00:28:05 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
Starting point is 00:28:39 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
Starting point is 00:29:17 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
Starting point is 00:29:48 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
Starting point is 00:30:25 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
Starting point is 00:31:02 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?
Starting point is 00:31:38 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?
Starting point is 00:32:23 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
Starting point is 00:32:59 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
Starting point is 00:33:39 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
Starting point is 00:34:14 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

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?

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

Starting point is 00:38:57 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
Starting point is 00:39:26 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
Starting point is 00:40:05 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
Starting point is 00:40:33 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?
Starting point is 00:41:01 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
Starting point is 00:41:28 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
Starting point is 00:42:00 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
Starting point is 00:42:32 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
Starting point is 00:43:06 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
Starting point is 00:43:45 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
Starting point is 00:44:15 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
Starting point is 00:44:54 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
Starting point is 00:45:32 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
Starting point is 00:46:11 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?
Starting point is 00:46:51 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
Starting point is 00:47:26 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
Starting point is 00:47:55 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
Starting point is 00:48:39 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
Starting point is 00:49:12 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
Starting point is 00:49:51 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
Starting point is 00:50:30 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?
Starting point is 00:51:06 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
Starting point is 00:51:41 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
Starting point is 00:52:16 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
Starting point is 00:52:56 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
Starting point is 00:53:30 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
Starting point is 00:54:12 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?
Starting point is 00:54:55 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
Starting point is 00:55:25 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
Starting point is 00:55:58 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
Starting point is 00:56:40 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
Starting point is 00:57:09 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
