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 to my brother my brother and me an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy
I'm your middle-est brother Travis of McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother Griffin Andrew McElroy. Hey guys
What a time
To be a basketball fan. Thank you LeBron James
Just beat Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's
All-time scoring record and my favorite thing about it. I didn't watch it, but I saw clips later. Why was it the gym?
I don't want to brag but
They kept a camera
Kareem was in the was in a stand. Oh, they made him watch
They made him watch and the two I don't want to talk about LeBron James mindset because of course
He's probably elated and like chasing that bliss
I want to talk about two mindsets and that's the mindset of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the mindset of the other team who's still trying to win a
Basketball game as there's a big counter like really do it
And they're like I would like him to not score points because we're trying to win a
Basketball game the blues had a home game where somebody on the other team was about to score his
500th goal and it's kind of what the whole game was about and it was like some of us are trying to enjoy the hockey contest
Just let the guy do it. Just let him get one and then we can move on with it with the athleticism
We could focus like he scored he broke it right with a three-pointer
I'm like the whole game ground to a hole as everyone's like yeah, he did it
And you know the other team is like I think was the Oklahoma Thunder was like hey, but
It's like the game's not done yet, and we're actually pretty close. We can still win this thing
Honestly, you're icing us a little bit right now
Mentum's on their side now and Kareem's face was great because the whole time he's like
Like kind of smile like oh cool
And you know and his head he's doing calculations of like but how many games that I play versus how many games he's played
Can we get an asterisk in there?
What I know of cream of duljabbar, which is close and intimate and personal
You mean author of Sherlock Holmes books and my cross homes books
Yes, cream of duljabbar
This is the same cream of duljabbar that sold his championship rings
So he could give all the money to charity because he's like I don't want
These are so big I start an airplane. I don't need this. Thank you. I'm fine guys
Do you think I would have I don't watch basketball?
I probably would have if I found out that Kareem Abdul-jabbar threw on the jersey of the opposing team and was like, okay
Let's make it let's make it interesting now. We got to go one for one. You know what? I'm coming out of retirement
We're gonna make this a race
I'm gonna keep scoring points and then he'll have to come back and score some more points as soon as LeBron retire's creams coming back
Oh, what a fart in the face. We are describing the plot of the Bernie Mac classic. Mr. 3000
This is our sportsiest fucking episode yet. This is this is wow. This is pretty wild so far
What's hot in I mean normally I wouldn't but we're talking about any time I can talk about
Veronica Mars co-producer Kareem Abdul-jabbar. I'm gonna do it a true Renaissance man
Kareem Abdul-jabbar. Yeah, he wrote an episode. Did you know this? He wrote an episode of Veronica Mars. I
Didn't know that no part and was a producer on Buffy the vampire slayer. Yeah
It's all out there and meanwhile we're here doing our stupid
Stupid, what are we gonna get? Yeah, I'm worried that somewhere out there
There's like a 12 year old dreaming of podcast dreams
Who's gonna beat my record for most canceled or given up podcasts and I worked?
Hard to get that number by yeah, my the cemetery of my podcast is vast and deep
Some that sometimes I had to bury some of them on top of other ones cuz I ran out of room
You will know Travis by the trail of pilots. I'm so worried. I'm so worried you have some podcast
You've canceled more than once right? Yeah. Yeah, man
Yeah, and you know what if I have to pick up and you're like no, I'll cancel them again if I have to you know
I mean, I'm not giving up. I'll cancel this one if this puts me over the top. I'll cancel this one
Yeah, no baby beats the old man
I'm the quittest guy in Hollywood and I won't stand for this of
Brother podcast this is probably the longest right no brother. I don't think so. I think Hank I think Hank and John probably got
No, we started before they did video shit. We can't step to that but dear John came later
I think you can narrow the parameters
Enough so that we'd start to get into records. Yeah
Guys, what if what if this episode was just us
Sports and shit talking other people in the in the biz and it would just be our most sort of aggressive
Agro-crag episode today. Yeah, the segment is done though, right?
Five minutes and that's already the most we've ever talked about sports and then
55 minutes or just like and fuck that guy. Oh them
Or whatever but the supper boil is happening this Sunday, isn't it always? Oh, yeah, that's that's a big one for me
Think I think one of the wildest things like there's a lot of stuff that
Would be hard to explain to visitor from another land
Probably the weirdest thing that we do is that we the biggest sports event of the year
But no one is allowed to say it by yeah, but no one is allowed to say the name of it
That's wild. That would be very hard like why can't everyone calls it the Super Bowl, right? Yeah
It's just a thing that happens. Yes, so but you so you can say the name. No, no, no, no, you cannot
Yeah, legally if you
Give free advertisement to them. They get really mad at you. They hate it also
J-Dog
Do you think if aliens came to our planet?
They would even take a beat to get to know us and our steeds or would they just start?
Well Griffin most
Sick comms about aliens have taught me that we're fascinating
They're man third rock from third rock from the Sun if that was a documentary
Yeah, French Stewart would have come down in his
Biopod and just started blasting. They are not gonna ask us about sports
You don't think they come down and help us build like new wonders and they're not gonna teach us a
Magic language that gives us prophetic visions. Oh, man. They're not they're just gonna come down and John Lithgow
It's just gonna start fucking blasting
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is gonna put a hole in my house with his giant rabies. He might do that anyways
He may I've said some stuff about him. Yeah, even if he's not an alien he might be coming for you
Yeah, sure
I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Elijah would have plenty of reason to team up together to stop Griffin McRoy
I'm just saying like between the two of them one Griffin
I feel like is always being complied to Elijah would and I imagine it vice versa
He's probably getting that too and then day in and day out from his closest and most
Renowned friend hearing it. Yeah, he hates hearing it man
It's why Griffin had to move away from Austin cuz people got saying like didn't I just run into you yesterday
And it's like no that was Elijah would and vice versa and then Joseph Gordon-Levitt. There's just I mean, there's vitriol there obviously
Yeah, obviously
No, my I have a pretty long list of enemies
The detectives would never solve my murder cuz it could be but you gave him all the clues
No, I gave him too many clues for too many people
This is too. This is actually to you can have too many clues. Oh
And maybe it's a thing we're like 15 different people teamed up to all kill Griffin
And it's like oh the clues are pointing us so many different ways
Let's just call this one. Was there ever a Sherlock book what was did Karim Abdul-Jabbar's Sherlock book?
They have a like a criminal who just scattered clues hithering yawn about the crime scene as they ran out of it
And then they went to Sherlock was like, haha, I see a cigarette, but it's like I don't think that's a real one
There's 16 cigarette butts here. Fuck. How long was the guy here?
Yes, hey juice. Yeah, would you like a question? Are you looking at sports? I would hmm
No, I was curious what the name of Karim Abdul-Jabbar's
Sherlock Holmes sample is it's a mycroft hoes. It's mycroft if I'm not mistaken. It's great
It's great. It's his first adult novel. I love Karim. Has he written an adult bar?
Has he written young adult novels?
No, he's written elderly adults
They're just they're for old people only you won't get it. You won't get it only 1890s kids look at this
My partner has been hinting to me increasingly that she would very much like for me to start making use of mood music
To romance her it has been pretty straightforward picking out some romantic music for a playlist, but I have no smooth skills
Pressure questions this how do I smoothly integrate this new music into a dinner date sometime raise my eyebrows seductively as I hit play
Figure out a way to already have it playing when she walks the door slowly fade up the music as dinner progresses
Yes from almost smooth as silk and Cincinnati, but you already got the answer slow very prolonged fade up
To the point where like it starts from zero and over the course of 20 minutes gets to like 50%
Like there's gonna be multiple like are you hearing that like do you hear like they're wandering around the house looking for
Where the sound is coming from minutes four through eight are gonna be
Confusing because it'll only dogs will be able to hear it at that volume correctly
Just enjoy your spaghetti carbonara
If don't worry about it if I had if I attempted
This or any similar maneuver at this point. I feel like I would need to hire an intimacy coordinator
To make sure
Yeah, it would just be so out of left field you attempting to use romantic music that
Yeah, I think uh a a dj would be
Great for this someone who could kind of take the work off the ambiance work off my plate
So I can so I can enjoy it too. You know what I mean an intimacy dj
You know what I mean and listen. It's not just about remixing the music
Sometimes it's like
Hey, hey, it's me raise your hand about three inches. That's it. That's better
Okay, so hold on my intimacy dj wouldn't be giving me step by step
Sexual technique. This is we're talking about having you're not talking about an intimacy coordinator
You're talking about like you see on a film free a pre pre production
I'm saying maybe it's half and half, you know, you get one is the music. Yeah, but then it's also like
Hey, have you tried ear nibbling?
Oh
No, even that is not necessary for my guy. I have I have he doesn't do that. He's never even tried
He's been a professional since day one. I find starting music of any sort
To be a profoundly vulnerable moment
That even when it's just my family there, I feel like it's so
It's got to be so right on to just say like
You because you always end up yelling like alexa turn on pleasant dinner for friends
Play dinner for friends jazzy
Yeah, play a classical italian dinner music. No, no
elect no alexa stop alexa stop
It's so vulnerable. I feel so it is so revealing to just start it. Is this right?
Is this the right mood? I don't know. It's I just want to say good on your question asker for already having the songs picked out
Yeah, because that for me would be the biggest stumbling block
If I figure that out the music would never stop playing in my home
I would I would do it and then I would cover up the microphone on any device
So no one could ever stop it playing because I'd be like, no, I'm bragging. I figured it out
It we're always romantic now
I just picking any song for any situation. I don't think I have the gumption to do it anymore
I don't think we found a playlist that we listened to
One of griffin's playlist that he put on the first time
We started signing posters before a show
And we've played the exact same playlist
Every single time except for when carly's got a new album out and then usually we'll bop to that
For the around the release window of it and then it's about right back to grill and time
Or if it's if it's a dadland show and then it's just like all 70s and 80s dad rock
boy
I don't know man. I've never done that guys. I this is too. We don't normally get so personal on this
I've never done this in my entire life. I would have no way
No way
Of answering this question in an effective manner
You could do a silent disco kind of mood setting where you have headphones on and you're listening to it
And your partner's like, what are you listening to and you're like put these on
Put these on and come with me on this quiet journey
And then if anyone walks in the room like why are they staring at each other so sexily?
What's harry is this complete silence as they eat their garlic bread?
Yeah, the sexiest food garlic bread. It's important leave it on during copulation
The headphones
Yeah, you're gonna need some sweat bands to hold them in place and to catch the sweat because it's gonna be
sweaty
Hey, it's me a wolf man. Get out of there. Have some fun having sex in there. Let's get out of here wolf man
We didn't cut down on whispering sweet. Nothing's in the water. Yeah, well, it's like I said it looks bit and weird
It looks bit and weird
Um
I I can't do this. I couldn't do that. I couldn't do this. Happy valentine's day. Happy valentine's day. I couldn't do this
Take it from us. Take it from the mackerel brothers. Keep it chased
Keep it pure. Keep it secret. Keep it safe
Sometimes it surprises me that we have six kids amongst the three of us. Yeah, like that statistically based on how we speak about intimacy
Statistically unlikely possible. Yeah
I have a wizard and he's been banging down my kicking down my fucking door
You have a wizard. I have a wizard
He's been kicking down the door of the room that he lives in and he likes it in there
Like I've recreated his magic environment pretty good. Why is this taking it down?
He wants out. There's toad stools and stuff in there though and like his like parts of his tower and some of his brooms
So like he's happy
Doesn't sound like you I saw some chicken nuggets in there sometimes they're frozen still but he has fire magic
Anyway, this is how to um get revenge on your siblings. Oh boy. Oh
huh
Weird that you would bring this to us griffin and this these are gonna prank you guys pretty bad
So I want you to be ready. I mean april fool's day is just around the corner and when it gets here
I'm gonna fuck you guys up. Whoa. It's great. Oh methods of getting revenge
Okay, go ahead griffin
Revenge us
But yeah, so the first one
Maybe we could also sort of give these each a rating of how bad they would
Actually be for us in our current modern lives too bad. Just you you guys
Bad in one way so I know bad just in any way that a thing could make your life worse
Oh, okay, like this first one set their clock four or five hours ahead
Four or five hours hours. That's a war crime. That's a bad one. That's rough stuff
Also, I I would argue for some people not that effective though because like I
Thanks to my human alarm clocks in the form of my children
I get up at like
645 to 7 a.m. Every day anyways, like that's not an option
I wish I could sleep in I can't sleep in anymore. Yeah
It's the worst so much purpose though that this is the next one and this one
Well, it also is impractical because
Like who's relying on like even digital clocks that like I have a phone
You can't fix that. You can't change that shit
Can you my wife uses an alarm clock from the mid 1990s? Oh boy that she has kept
Since middle school
It is sounds like a hell being drowned in a toilet and it's the worst thing that happens to me
Whenever it goes off it also when the power goes out
The hour button doesn't work. So you have to push it really really hard
And she won't let me get rid of the clock. So yeah, it would be a pretty big deal if the clock got changed
It would be the worst thing that could happen. Well, yeah, I don't know that everybody
has a big a big bin-esque
sort of
Uh atomic clock that they live their lives by in the way that you all do. Yeah
So i'm gonna say seven
Okay, uh number two torment them with their least favorite food
Make sure to hand out the biggest portion of that dish onto their plate when it's being served
Huh, it's actually pretty mean because I would feel really guilty about throwing away a big pile of potato salad
Yes, but you think the exact right food
But also i'm an adult
So like that's the like I could not eat that like there's no one above me
To say like you can't leave the table until you finish that
Like yeah, but why did you get so much? That's what that does a question on everybody's mind
Why did you ask for so much potato salad? Okay now
if you amend this to in front of like their celebrity hero
Or like a boss now
Now you've got me
but I might just go to dinner at griffin's house and he's like
Here's a huge scoop of I like potato salad. I'm trying to think of something else
Gross why yucky grody?
It's good
But if you oh potato salad in front of your crush chicken caught on blue. I do not care for it
Would you eat potato salad in front of your crush and grody?
Yeah, I would I would eat potato salad in such a way that they'd be impressed with how much potato salad
I could if you decide the day your facial hair is longer than one inch
You should have to say I've sworn you should have to legally swear off potato salad
Now you know mayonnaise in your beard period
Unacceptable the end you the end no more mayonnaise for you. It's out
You can ask Teresa
We've been together 13 years now and I have perfected the art of only taking bites when she's not looking at me
um to the point where uh like uh some kind of forest
Animal if I catch her looking at me while I'm mid-bite. I just freeze until she looks away
Um, so I'm not worried about that. Okay. I'm worried about like John Cena being like
Why'd you take so much chicken caught on blue and I'd be like I I didn't John I didn't
My brother put it on my plate seems like extreme rated e for extremely your shit
You don't like chicken caught on blue. Oh man. Don't care for it. It's a ham in there
Combining a ham with your chicken silly can we cut it out with ham?
Thank you. Thank you. It's the cranberry of meat and I stand by that
Every three years
We get intensely anti-ham for for one reason or another
Vegetarians are right about ham. Yeah. Yeah, that's the only one
um
Hey
Try taking their things and hiding them
Put their pencil case under the couch or their homework in the microwave not my pencil case
Uh, try taking only one thing every day something that they won't notice right away like a pin
Hide it in your room to make sure it blends in with your stuff or simply hide it in your closet
I keep making the things you I swear to god someone could be doing this with washcloths in my house
And I I I still would have no idea nail clippers nail clippers. Where do they go? What do we do? Thank you
I'll tell you the beauty of this though. Is that someone with ADHD?
I feel like I've become uh immunized to this
And like if I'm like I can't find it. Well, what are you gonna do?
Like I've just grown accustomed to not knowing where things are anyway, you're not gonna cling too close
You'll smother the nail clippers. Yeah, it's fine. They'll come back to me when they're ready like homework bound
When you see them you gotta snatch them up like I don't need a trim right now
I'm gonna go for it anyway. Yes. I don't know what I'll find these again
You collect them all together in one place and then slowly they escape one by one until eventually you start flipping
Couch cushions and stuff. It's fine. It's just how life goes
Like I know how many I've bought through my lifetime. Yeah, probably in the like over 20. I need one right
Um glue their deodorant closed
What by some super glue that is invisible once it dries and glues all their deodorants closed
That's so mean if you want to wait, hold on. Hold on. If you want to be really mean if you want to be
Really fucking mean
You can glue all their soaps in the shower closed too. This will confuse them and really frustrated
Close my so close that soap. Did they this person said deodorants plural do people have different
Like different deodorants for different occasion for different moods
I usually always have two
Giant old spice pure sports rocking one one on the countertop one in reserve, right?
Yeah, a cartridge a cartridge
At my side in case I need to get get back in and finish finish my stink fight
Once again beauty of adhd those I got I buy them like five at a time online
I'm not going to the store for this anywhere. Who has the time and then
They're all going so the chance that one of you could find all my deodorants and glue all of them closed
Zero percent. He's got deodorants in places. You'd never even think to look never even know. What's that?
Why is one in the recording booth with me? Don't worry about it. We own three
suitcases
Two of which none of which are in use right now, but I do know that two of which definitely have deodorant
Just floating around in their various pouches. I do that with preparation h. Okay
You're very prepared age. I don't want to say to anybody like I have to leave for this
I have to go to cvs and they're like why and I say preparation h
Or I don't want to go to the concierge of the hotel and say do you have preparation h because they don't know why
Yeah, they'll know why Justin
Yeah, they'll know why
Juseph I'm I'm also nervous about being attacked by a bear, but I don't carry bear mace around with me
I don't pack bear mace in every suitcase. That is foolish. That is your uh, yeah, you're asking for trouble
You can use preparation h to reduce the
The bags underneath. Yeah, but nobody does Justin. I do
Just because it's out anyway. I figure I might as well my confidence is low
What with the hemorrhoids at all, but doesn't you hate Justin? This is important. You do the eye application first, right?
What even more important
You don't really mean that put a preparation h on your face makes your confidence better, right?
That was like a word typo that you did where you said the wrong words a little bit sparkle
Uh, a little bit of extra tighten it. Yeah, just tighten
Tighten it up
Put some tape on the nozzle of their sink leave a small gap toward the front when they go to wash their hands
The water will spray them right in the face. This is a simple effective prank. I have two children
Uh, and everything in my house is wet all the time. Good luck
You can't get me every room in my house
That is able to distribute water has water all over it already. Good luck
My kids if I if ice cubes fall out of the thing on the floor just leave them. Yeah, they're gone
It's wet. It'll dry. Yeah, I have two dogs. I've got a cat that drools when she's happy
I got two kids and I'm a big old shrek oaf the chance that I would even notice
That something was wet that wasn't wet before and care. No, no way
Sometimes I sit down on my couch and there's a wet spot and I'm like, what are you gonna do?
What are you constantly constantly constantly?
Especially if they're not if it's my like evening shorts
And not my day jeans. Oh, yeah, if I get my day jeans wet and it's not close to quitting time, you know
That's an issue. Yeah, then I'm gonna have to switch it up to my auxiliary jeans
Yeah, uh, that that is something I will address
Got to keep your work wear osha compliant. Yeah, it's so important. Justin, I've stayed with you many times
There's always my favorite time of the day when five o'clock rolls around
And your shoes get up and pull that old whistle and all your clothes just like oh quitting time
And they all line up at clock out and then they pass by the nighttime shorts and they're like, oh
It's a rough one today. It's a rough one. It's a rough one someone glued all his deodorants closed
It's been uh, you don't want to be draped on this guy right now. It's tough
Um spray whipped cream in their hands while they're sleeping. That's here's the thing about this this prank
It's never worked once in the history of mankind
But there is something to waking up and my hand has whipped cream in it. That sucks
Oh, that sucks enough
It doesn't have to be on my face for me to not be stoked about there being whipped cream on my body
Yeah, it's an issue regardless. It's a real it's an issue no matter where it is if it's not in the can or
On food would you rather it be shaving cream or whipped cream think about it before your answer?
Please don't just play around shaving cream. Okay
Yeah, no, yeah, shaving cream is supposed to be topically applied
Uh, yeah, I'm well see if it's whipped cream once again
I've uh protected myself by having two dogs and I feel like by the time I woke up
It's gone anyways if it's whipped cream
Yeah, I'm fine
Um, I'm protected from all this revenge. I didn't even know it. Yeah, come at me. You're unrevengeable
Change their auto correct and microsoft word. That's a pretty good one or change the wallpaper on their computer
Do this after they go to bed before they head to school in the morning
Please don't do that because I have a really cool RRR
Like desktop background and if that's a good idea. I need to do that. Yeah, dude
It rules it's the two of them like shaking hands from the ropes with like fire and ice behind it
Please do not change that because it's the only thing gets me through some mornings
do you guys
Do you guys really have like desktop backgrounds with like lots of stuff?
Mine? No, mine's just a simple dark blue. I never really thought about it. I have so many fucking
little doodads and gizmos floating around on that user interface at all times. I cannot have
Giant strong men like sailing through the air on a tiger like because then I'll be that the amount of razzle dazzle sort of
Mind confusion that would take place on that desktop
Gives me chills. See my computer desktop is an rr rr conveyance device that has some other
Oh, okay
Yeah, that makes sense actually it's it's it's that I think there's other features to it that I've been meaning to check out
But who has the time rr is three hours long, you know, that's a big commitment
Uh, this is the last one I want to read. It's filled their backpack with underwear at this point
I would love that doing me a
Yeah, man, huge solid. Yeah, I already have it. Yeah, not need it
I pack for any trip like I'm planning to shit my pants every day
so
That means that would mean the world to me. Thank you very much
There is I'd tell you this part of being a parent going through body training
Um, I don't go anywhere without some form of someone's underpants in my bag at any time
I have dead drop. I left a lot of these dead drops behind in austin. There's there's underwears of all kinds hidden in little
Uh, little film capsules
Just a little little just little just geocache them around
I don't see geocaches

Hi, i'm hal loveland and i'm martin gagliardi and we're the hosts
So we got this with mark and hal the weekly show where we settle the debates that are most important to you
That's right. What arguments are you and your friends having that you just can't settle apples or oranges marvel or dc
fork versus spoon chocolate or vanilla best fagal
What's the best disney song we got this with mark and hal every week on maximum fun
We do the arguing so you don't have to oh all answers are final for all people for all time
Justin you want to do another question? Yeah, I'd love to do the i recently started a new job one
morning I went to the kitchen area to fill out my water bottle and noticed that someone had brought donut holes
I reached into the bag and popped it in my mouth
While I was chewing the owner of said donuts came in the room made a gesture of as if to say oh, that's where I left those
And took the bag and left
I think they noticed the bag was open and that I was visibly chewing brothers
Should I apologize to this person? Should I assume they didn't see me?
I've seen them several times since this happened and have adjusted my body to the amount of water
Since this happened and have adjusted my path to avoid walking past them. That's from donut
hijacker
if
you
Buy a bunch of two doughnut two tomatoes. Nope. Sorry. Oh not that one
if you
buy a big bag of
donut holes
Yeah
exclusively for your own personal consumption
You're either a monster or a dipshit. What's whoa?
What's the point of donut holes? Well, they fill in the donut. I'm asking
You what's the point you put them in a donut and then it's a complete
Circle
You're not doing that. Are you traveling? No, you don't have to do no
But that's one thing you could do with them if you want because sometimes you want a donut
But who has the time?
Right to commit to a whole donut. That's where donut holes come in
It's a bargain you're making with yourself, right? Like I listen. We can't eat a whole donut right now
And I know you really want to so this is the best I could do for you. I hope it's okay
This will satiate the dark passenger within you, right?
And then you eat six of them and you're like, I bet if we added those all up that would be a donut
Oh, no, I would also say a question after they
Left food no matter how long they did in a break room
Fair game
Like it's sitting on a table, especially when it is nature's most shareable food
Donut holes. Yeah. Yeah, they're designed to be
They're designed to be shared. Yes. This wasn't a labeled friends
This wasn't a labeled Tupperware container. This is a bag of shareable donut holes
left
In the place where it is just understood that shared food is to be left
They fucked up. They should apologize to you for taking away your donut holes. Yeah, you wanted more of them
Hey, you want hey? Hey, I want more of them. Hey, whoa
Whoa
Hey
Hey, I want more of them. There was an unspoken promise between us here. You're breaking it
Why did you leave the donut holes if not for me to enjoy?
We're gonna break it. You should be in the break room though to be fair. That is fair
That is where promises should be broken
and hearts
I think you could bring the fight to them. I think you walk up to their desk and say
What were you fucking thinking? Yeah, what were you thinking when you bought donut holes?
For your own personal consumption
And then also when you took them from and then you left them sitting around
You didn't even keep it a secret shame in like a drawer at your desk
Yeah, you left them and then we're like, you know what on second thought they're all for me
Did you have a tough day? Do you want to talk about it?
Share the holes and we'll sit down and
Share the holes
Tuff in the bag
20 sudden C share the holes
Tuff in the bag tough in the bag
That should be the earthy with some open up and share the holes
Oh, yeah, we crushed that one
Yeah, we have we helped with that one. It's not your fault. It's not your fucking fault, man
If they try to go to somebody to complain if they try to slander your good name
By going to other people and saying like, yeah, they ate my fucking donut holes
The person they are telling that story to say like, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
You got your own personal bag of donut holes just for you and you left them in the break room
They came to your desk and took it. No, I had left them in the break room unattended
Sitting on the table and you didn't share them. Well, no, I no you're fired
I don't think we should hang out anymore Derek
You bait you bait card him you did a bait car essentially
um
The bird the other person's a bad guy. That's what the version is. You're the good guy more of these questions, please
More where we can vilify a stranger. Yeah and tell you to gas you up from room
I

Okay, about what?
Just about donuts. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't know how they should be called donut plugs
Because the hole is already in the box. Yes, or just nut plugs to make it shorter and easier to say. No, um
All right 27c share the nut plugs
Do you guys want to hear? Okay, this is this week's munch squad is interactive. Oh, do you want to hear about?
uh national bros day
do you want to hear about
the oldest person that works at our bees or
The conchisius blockbuster returns. No, man. I gotta hear about the oldest arby's employee. Yeah, I'm kidding me
Okay, so they were there when roast beef was invented. I want to give a huge
Congratulations to arby's team member at restaurant 7 1 1 5 in indianapolis one of the nazi franker
She's lived there her whole life and she remembers when arby's came to town
Oh, she didn't live at the arby's the whole time. Okay. No, no, no
I retired a year before they built the arby's at edgewood and madison
After it was built and someone I knew called and said they were looking for someone to work through lunch
I went in for an interview and here I am
21 years later. Fuck. Yeah for josh johnson arby's regional director of operations. Nancy's been nothing short of an inspiration
Nancy is one of our longest tenured team members. She joined us. She has tenure
Yes, you can't fire her. She does whatever she wants
Wow, what a gift. No, she has to spend 30 hours a month doing arby's research. So
I'm going on sarbetical
medical from arby's a sarbetical
Oh, man for six months. Um
She marked an incredible milestone in december her 93rd birthday
And uh to celebrate don't make her work at arby's anymore. No, she likes it at arby's don't get it twisted
The arby's team at her restaurant invited co-workers friends and regulars to join a surprise party
Honoring nancy's positive attitude and dedication. Hey, justin. Yeah, no matter how much nancy likes working at arby's
There's an amount of money that she would like to have more than working at arby's
I don't know what that amount is
But I guarantee
That there's a number that exists where I said hey 93 year old woman
How about instead I give you a large amount of money and you don't have to work at arby's anymore
That's stupid. She likes to work at arby's part of the job. It's the best part really the people
Uh, she says my favorite moments have been with the wonderful guests who come in and talk with me
I'm also blessed with a great boss and co-workers who are always so kind to me. Hey, but thank you to her co-workers
Though I can imagine that is uh, there there are a few people
That would stoop to the level of being mean to the 93 year old woman that works at arby's with you
I think that that would I think everybody would have a tender touch with with nancy. I did want to just
Real quick. Hey steve. Yeah, what's up? Um, nancy's till is short
150 dollars again. It's like the 10th day in a row
Should we say something? What? No. No. What are you a fucking asshole? You can't say anything. She's tenured
Uh, no, I do want to I I know that we're not doing our video thing right now

I don't even know full tweak share some nancy pics. No, okay, so
Here is this image this first image. I'm sending you you see nancy
Um
There and it's she's like behind the counter
She looks like a sweet lady and then there's an image of
her with someone from inspire brands
Holding a cake for her. Okay, but that's not why I'm showing you this image why I'm showing this image is
That they have used a bit of this
as the header for this official
Arby's post this is the official image at the top
And I need you guys to just check out that photoshop work over there. That's great. She is so
deeply angular they spent
14 seconds creating this banner it's wild like they use the magic lasso and relied on it very heavily
You can't you you will not believe if you go on over to the Arby's
Inspire brand page. Anyway, that's not a mean story
It's just a nice one about nancy who's having a great time working there
So real quick this the interactive thing is I'm going to tell you about the other things anyway
Just real quick. I signed bros has launched the ultimate bros box
And for us it just felt like we gotta you know what I mean?
Because february is a month dedicated to love and friendships everyone wants a lifelong companion
But sue says it has to be your other half. Maybe it's a bagel
Enter the bros if valentine's day and gallentine's day aren't the aren't the moves this month
I signed brothers bagels declares february 15th as national bros day. I'm not sure
That you're allowed to do that I signed brothers bagels. I'm not sure you could just declare it national bros day
If I wouldn't say you can't
Yeah, I wouldn't turn to the einstein bagel bro bagel boys those einstein bagel boys are at it again
I would not lean on them to tell me when bros day is
I would I would I don't know probably just go to a
A paintball course and just see when the bros are particularly fired up and that's the day
Oh, see I was gonna ask hank and john
Yeah
If you're wondering what national bros day is it just says it's an official day dedicated to the bros squad
It's not official. You can't just throw the word official out
No travis macaroy. It's an official day for the bros squad
Official by what standards just official day for the bros squad
Travis I can't argue with that. You know, you've convinced me. I'm different
Justin, you don't think I've tried that for 39 years
Hey, it's the crunchesius blockbuster real quick. I do want to tell you about the crunchesius blockbuster of the year
I remember when the crunchesius blockbuster came to town and we'd go there and get the crunchesius movies and the crunchesius in 64 games
Loved it. The new year just became happier as kfc announced the return of cheetah
What?
Yeah, you're on me, right? No, I think I was actually thrown by the fact that it's february
Now you can't mute. Well, this is a older press release. I didn't do it earlier. So I'm doing it now the cult fave
kfc cheetah
Is back with a bang promising to be the biggest blockbuster of 2023
Bringing together the two things that foodies love most
chicken and cheese. Yeah
You can't just say whatever you want
You know, you can't just say whatever you want. No, you can't
kfc cheetah is sure to leave you drooling
The problem is also mama mia juice. I don't know if you were planning on sending us a picture of this bad boy
But I could not resist googling
Yeah, holy
Fucking that's a rough ride my fella. That's a fucking rough ride on the eyes
The soul don't describe it because I'm going to describe
The product is all set to make a comeback on popular demand
After it received immense love by kfc fans
Over the years thanks to its flavorful taste and the shockingly delicious crust
What crust you ask?
Well, it's kfc's crispy chicken on top and more crispy chicken at the bottom that has made it a fan favorite
Now, is there any ham involved because they're starting to creep into my least favorite food
They're inching closer and yeah, this image I found is from 2017
There's a non-zero. Nah, I would say 100 chance. We have done
An a much squad on cheetah before I think I remembered it, but it is possible
I would but I think we all probably pushed it out of our minds as a sort of like coping mechanism
The all chicken no crust cheetah
And all by the way, I want you guys to start describing me as the all chicken no crust Justin
If you haven't you got it it consists of two zinger filets of crispy chicken
I think this is written by an ai is what i'm getting at is what i'm getting as I think is written by an artificial intelligence
I can't believe a human put this together the all chicken colonel sanis jr. Yes, son
Have we maybe invented too many words?
In our like corporate speak for it to still be understandable to a human
I don't know what you mean. It's just two zinger patties on a cheetah. Oh god
It's a smattering of uh, there's so there's two zinger filets and zinger filets
Is it capitalized? I do want to say they're just calling them, you know, they're zinger filets of crispy chicken
Top with the lektual pizza sauce
molten cheese a smattering of onions and mixed peppers
