Young colt an upstart three-year-old speedster named mage That has won the Kentucky Derby the first horse or not the first horse But one of like four horses ever to win the Kentucky Derby after only doing three races Can you believe that shit? Is it pot? Has anyone considered the fact the reason that this little guy this powerful stallion? Yeah, so fast Arrow you're really really loud so loud. Could it be excited about these horses? Yeah? I love these horses. Could it be aerodynamic name a Lot of these other horses carrying around big heavy name a lot of extra words okay mage

Simple the shortness of it. Yeah, it would explain orbs rise to dominance This is what I'm saying also if you look at it though mage a lot of sharp angles in there a lot of clean Aerodynamic lines are you talking about the horse's incredible muscular body? Or are you talking about the letters that actually exist in this for letter? I don't see why it has to be Exclusive to one or the other I'm saying this okay. I'll say it is exclusive to his enormous his powerful Let me look at this horse. Let me look at this horse He's so if I just type mage horse in just don't start weeping like on the show

Okay, it's hard not to be because oh my god What a platonic ideal of a horse this is just what you would see this is like the first Photographed image of a horse. Yeah, this looks like to me This is the most horse ass horse I've ever seen and I'm so glad you've mentioned the horse ass Travis There's muscles back there. Oh, yeah, I can't Comprehend there's there's it looks like there's a regular thigh muscle that a horse might have going into another one going into another one Segmented like a bug's legs, but it's just a muscular horse. I had to look away. I was getting lost in it Yeah, it's a deep ravine

Beautiful Justin, what's going on? Are you looking at dad's and Matt? You're not so quiet texted us before the race. This is true and said there is a horse running named mage When was this what was the date on this was before the derb this was for the derb dad was like shout out I got juice on mage. Let's go. He didn't like that But like he was 15 to 1 so like if dad had juice on mage I wish I just wish dad had been like I have a good feeling about mage or I'm giving mage the juice. Yeah 506 p.m. May 6th, there's a horse running in a Kentucky Derby named mage at

707 p.m. May 6th mage one. Can I say no context? No, it's just like this is what we get from dad I don't have a bit or anything. It's just like I saw this you guys like nerdy wizardy shit, right? It's not how we like wizards and shit. Well, guess what this well this horse is a wizard go figure So, yeah, we got the pretense coming up in two days. Well your freak real flies I guess it's a shame that the pretense is After the derby because it feels like the derby is like the big one, right? I don't know I do not by the way guys. I know it's a big televised event I don't know how to derive pleasure from the derby like I gotta win money on it

I think is that what it is because yeah, so short and it starts at such a weird time I I don't really have much. I don't I don't really know what it's how you do it How do you get you get hopped up on Juleps? Yeah, you got a big hat on oh big hat Not big hats gonna carry you through a couple hours of excitement. You're excited about the hat You're getting natural shade from it. It's wonderful. Then second round of Juleps taken out, right? Oh shit slept through the race It was two minutes long who won Horsted great and now you're back to the party, right Julep round three now loving it now

You're in the fucking shadow derby, which is where they make the horses fight each other. Yeah for corn. Yeah With knives, which is weird with knives to each hoof and they call it then they call it rich person Beyblades Yeah, and that's that I actually I do that's funny for from them. I like that. Yeah billionaire Beyblades Do you do you guys think mage is gonna take this thing all the way with his various? Okay, listen to you someone's the derby you're like they're gonna take they're gonna take it all He's got a long big one is the triple crown that sounds heavy. Hey wait wait Justin Justin no looking Preakness preakness derby derby Okay, what's that triple come on now you do you guys can you guys look it up?

So you know it I know it because I'm gonna try to will it in my head so many jokes about courses preakness, uh-huh Derbs obviously and let's bring it out with Stakes is it yes. Yes Who is the most I'll give you a tip? Okay? What what feeding your game character has probably used a lot of stakes in his day, okay? I'll you Simon Belmont the Belmont six. Yes. It was called the Al you card six Hey, how do you think how do you think mage is gonna doing the Castlevania race? Pretty good. Do pretty good

He's gonna have to race against a bunch of disembodied floating horse head Which is gonna be tough and some Belmont can I say though now that we've made that Castlevania connection? I'll never forget the name of that race again Yeah, I love a helpful a helpful mnemonic device Okay, this is an advice show if you've never listened before welcome. We're so happy to have you And this we're gonna help people you send us your questions to mbm at maximum fund org And we scooped them up in our arms and we nursed it back to health

Which means and we answer them we answer them Can we just can we real quick that you guys know who made just the dad horses his horse dad archmage? No, good magic good magic. That's great They just took that name and they made it shorter. I wish I had thought to name one of my children like grie grie Mac wait, they didn't make good magic shorter Because that would be magi, which would be a cool name for a whole it would also be a cool name for a horse God, there's so many cool names. We've entered a new sort of

Like a new era in horse naming conventions that is so exciting to me and I know we commented on this when orb was fold We were all you know reading the trades that day But you know keeping it short keeping it concise keeping it fantastical and whimsical Um, I I hope this first one is is a trip y'all as parents. I just gotta warn you It's bracing. I took my three-year-old with the playground with a few of his friends and their parents The kids started loudly demanding ice cream at that point one of the mothers called the ice cream truck on her phone and Told the driver that he will have plenty of business where we are Sure enough a few minutes later the truck pulled up and the kids were overjoyed

Brothers, how do I explain to my son that daddy can't summon an ice cream truck at will? That's from papa without popsicles. Jesus first of all There's no way this is the first time that this woman had done this move. No, no, no I want to talk. Yes, you're absolutely right Travis. Let's talk about this in order There was a day when this woman was getting ice cream and then she went to the driver and she said hey What's your phone number? Yeah, I said why in the fuck would you need to know that you this is not how ice cream trucks? You look for me You grab me the fact that you see me as part of the job. Why would you call?

I know I never call me there was way more of a power move here Justin Just by evidence of the fact that this mother did this move with confidence that I guarantee that this was a like Succession level power move where she walked down and said you're doing it all wrong and the ice cream trucker was like what what are you? Who are you? Get out of here? Sorry Did you say ice cream trucker like ice road trucker? Yeah, man I very much support this and she said I'm a disruptor, but and you're going on you're looking for the kids You need to just go where the kids are you need you need to be like an uber But for like an uber eats driver now, okay now Travis has also brought up the other sort of

Huge thing and I got to say thank you to this question ask her for getting ahead of this for me and potentially the rest of us Sometimes when my son is like I want to eat like four bags of gushers I can I can take the easy W of saying like that's way that's we don't have any gushers You can't have four whole bags of gushers if he could say back to me get on fucking Postmates hit up DoorDash and then you can make you can conjure gushers like some sort of wizard I don't like that level of power I had I can't I can't handle that responsibility as a 36 year old man of Knowing that anytime I could have any snack. I wanted poof. Yeah, it's too much like a like a like a like the genie wish from Shazam

You know, I've done I've done I've done something similar to this whoa kind of I don't mean like we did a a Creativity fair for the hiding children's museum to as like a get the word word out and Well, sorry the museum was there That's why I was involved and we got the snow cone truck To come to the event and do snow cones there and the deal what and the deal was that every kid gets a free snow cone But you can't just say you can't just have kids going up all day, right?

So the kids had to come and get a gold coin Oh, and then the gold coin they would exchange for a snow cone and then at the end of the the event I Would give him the snow cone man an amount of money Four gold to gold coins. So at the end of it. I have the end of this thing I had this great experience of walking over to this man's truck, which is called Lil creamer Yeah, and he just had this huge pile of gold to blue Yeah, the balloons in front of him. They just kind of shoved over how many how many is this any we had to sit there and count gold Coins fast that's a fascinating scenario

Because it's the only time we're like if you cracked open the chest full of gold You're like, ah fuck that's that's gonna be a step so much cream money. It's so heavy Now Justin I will say that that is very similar to this situation But there's a key difference here that I think is very important Which is the nature of an ice cream truck the thing that's exciting about it is the randomness. Yeah here the song Coming down the street and it's like a bunch of you know, like prairie dogs popping up. What what? Oh, what? You see Lil creamer randomly though if you're cruising around heights And I'm confusing with Lil creamer from Seinfeld babies and I need you to keep

Okay, there's Lil creamer is the snow command and then big worm is the ice cream guy So the ice neither one of those should be allowed around children They're just leaning into it at this point like you know, we can't be perverts if we called it Lil creamer and big worm Like we literally can't be like there's no way so we're absolutely the coolest in town Literally because of the snow cones because of the cold nature big worm is I so if you're you're if you're over in Heinten He's and you want snow cones, but you see big worm Keep on driving because you got to find a little creamer now. I know what you're saying cream isn't normally a big part of the snow cone

experience You've never had a little creamer snow cone I think because they're they're usually is condensed milk on on It is fun, they're delicious So you can do that after that where your kids like dad, we know, you know a little creamer We know you're in tight with a little creamer you guys exchange the balloons for money You could call Lil creamer right now and he'd be in our driveway in 45 minutes No, because this is the difference between myself and this question ask her is that I'm in charge of my children

They're not getting Um, yeah, I could call Lil creamer. I could go to the store and buy a Snow cone machine the snoopy one maybe I don't know but I'm not going to you have a snoopy snow cone machine Cuz that was so specific. I have my that was like a thing. It was a thing You know remember that? No, it was a little one and you put an ice cube in you like crank it up crank it up And and then you put some like like basically put Kool-Aid on top is what they 80s kids are losing it

You should have gotten the number I will just say question ask her in hindsight you should have gotten the number I can I tell you why I wouldn't want the number trying to decide if There were enough customers there to justify calling the ice cream person Oh, that's where I'm like, hey, yeah show up and there's like two kids and they're like I drove Across town. Yeah, what if there's like, but what if there's like? 12 kids and you're like he's gonna be hidden and then it then people start like It's getting a little late. Oh my god. We need to get going

It's like no you can't leave. No, please. He'll be here. I'm sure of it except If you're saying an A to B for an ice cream truck the amount of time that this that journey will take could be anywhere from Some to forever but they could get stopped at any moment my my sweet We don't need to create Phantom situations to give us more anxieties when we have we have enough of those in the right space right now You are you are weaving a terrible Where you're trying to keep all these people from leaving because the the snow there's only one option There's only one choice by the way it if you're in that scenario

That's to leave Bear your phone in a ditch. Yeah, and never get close to the ice cream truck ever ever again. That's it. You got a ghost That's how breaking bad ended. I've never seen it, but I've heard You know what we haven't said this for a few years, but you do in that case need to pack your bags to move away Yeah, you can't predict where the ock imagine this, okay? You have an extremely extremely uncomfortable Situation with the ice cream man where you called him and said it's hitting Come down a hair as it's hitting everybody leaves you're like fuck I'm ruined I have to leave too

I can never and now there's just a rolling panic attack going around town It could be anywhere and then you're like again You're just sitting there reading a book in the park and use your bubble bump bump bump, but I'm like fuck. I got you This is terrible. This is a terrible I I feel so anxious right now Justin what you've done I feel like they are our jobs should be to uplift the light with laughter and love Even though that's not the year theme anymore. You've just told essentially Scary stories in the dark of things that go bump in the night. Yeah, it was a very spooky tan hall grave

Can can I go to the wizard and see if that that helped to I mean maybe it will because I've been actually thinking about this one a Lot Charlie sent in and thanks Charlie. It's it's how to act like a siren Hmm throughout history sirens have captured men's attention enticed men with their feminine wiles and fulfill men's Primal needs the sirens allure. They have not unless the primal need is I need to be smashed on the rocks Yeah, I've smashed smash me so that's really my mom Mommy Why do we do this to ourselves strand me, baby Strand me

The sirens allure persists to this day when discovering or embracing your inner siren you must first determine your siren persona I'm not gonna read the list We'll get to it after identifying your persona distinguish yourself from other sirens and set out to lead an unapologetically brazen life I'm gonna start talking about our siren personas now. Okay.

You are primarily a goddess siren the goddess is regal and in charge the siren prefers silence to chatter despises group activities And is unapologetically moody. I have one of those, but I won't say which one I'm very apologetically moody. Is that yeah, that's mad. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry for this I am sorry now that I'm not keep Throwing through stuff. I'm not processing it in a healthy way. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

You're primarily hey real quick play easy to get isn't anything and I just want to make sure we well now hold on Justin if someone can play hard to get they have to play either has to be another side of that coin. We're just like, hey Okay, straight up they are singing a song about how much they would like to smooch you maybe that is playing easy to get I don't know Yeah, that's fair So the competitor siren has a high libido sex is nothing more than a casual no-gill interaction. No, that's not me Determine if you're a companion siren Companion siren fulfills a man's desire to connect if you have the following characteristics, you are primarily a companion siren Strives to share interest with her partner as a result the companion siren is an active

participant in her partner's success Okay, that does you mutually exclusive though to the sirens Very me like a siren singing a song about like I support you and you're great and you're oh shit crash on the rocks But hey, that was on me. That was on me. Sorry bud. Hey Bay Bay. Sorry. You're dead Through or are they just like supportive forever? Is that they're supportive until the very last moments?

Well now hold once again Are sirens known for their housekeeping and domestic? I don't remember that in the Odyssey

I don't think in the water in their home in the in the Odyssey Yeah, you see them out you see them Travis when those sirens are on the rocks singing their beautiful songs to try and doom the many sailors That's their at work. They're working. Oh, that's a good place. That's a place of business That's where they earn there. Hey, you know what you're right. Who am I say sirens can't have it all That's right.

There's no fucking way. Are you hey siren? Are you sure you're using the right word there? Are you sure procreate who is that means make babies? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. What's the other one? Copulate yeah, that one you want to do that one. That's better for next time the next guy not me. I'm not me Who is this person? I want to meet this writer the author of this piece It's like okay some facts about me that you should know first off is I have extremely rigid definitions of gender roles And I it is very a man's needs and a woman's needs and those are the only two gender only two needs

There's the only two needs and they're very very prescripted and done and that's all settled and one of the ways I like this have been my free time is writing wiki haze about being a siren. Yeah, and I am the only purse I'm the only person like me. I mean you can get mad if you want, but I'm the only one of Me I would also and listen. That's the fun of me. I maybe I'm the one of me I haven't sat down and really thought about it, but I don't think that those five siren archetypes Cousher every possible aspect of a sign. There was not a siren in there of just like I don't know I like to sit quietly and read books Yeah, like where is give me the my siren. Let's talk about my siren. No, I don't know trip trip trip

No, oh we have five siren types here. You can't we have five siren types here You can't have you done a listicle like before ever you can't be like Well, I'm my favorite supernatural character isn't even on this quiz. You can't just make your own shit up There's five siren. You're right You're either a goddess a competitor a companion a mother or a sex kitten now Can I be art? Is there a lot of overlap between like four of those? Yeah, there is but yeah feeling I be I think I'm a competitor companion rising. Don't know you can't it's not like it up You have to be one and then when you pick one you get none of the other four fuck. Okay. What do you what are you Justin?

What I'm I'm the sex kid. Yeah, obviously for sure What's the most neurodivergent of these five sirens? Would you say competitive? I don't that's a fucking question to ask me Well, I just usually whatever is the most like that one clearly has ADHD. That's the one I go with so I'm gonna go with Chavis these are cartoon women on a website called wiki how yeah, I call on how to be the next siren I can't begin gripping if I don't project ADHD onto something in a list given me I don't really have ADHD. You know what I mean, but it's a fair So I'm saying competitor is obviously the ADHD choice going with it

I'm gonna say goddess siren for myself and that's absolutely true. Yeah. Yeah, thank you I would say that and when I look at you Griffin, that's what I see actually There's more shit in this article does like Oh, there's just one thing that has discovered your signature scent perfume is a powerful tool that every siren should have in her arsenal Your scent is uniquely you when you are in the presence of a suitor It provides you with a natural aura when you leave a room it lingers behind leaving your suitor craving your presence find a subtle scent with Sweet undertones. What if that's not the flavor? Do you can I just say listen I have nothing against the signature scent

Creating an olfactory aura around yourself perfectly fine, but I do once again not to nitpick when I point out Sirens are primarily known for drawing people in with a completely different sensory experience never once in Greek mythology They're like they sang beautiful and they smelled so fucking good Travis if you were on a boat of stinky people Think in the middle of the deep the dark the like deepest stinky as parts of ocean water Yeah, and then you're just cruising around and then you smell I bet from two nautical miles away You could smell like a Rotten dendron. No, I'm I'm sitting there. I'm on my stinky boat Yeah, I look over on the rocks and I hear a beautiful noise. I look over on the rocks

There's some manatees singing beautifully those manatees are singing it's so good. I'm not worried about how they smell I'm not worried. I'm a pirate man. I don't care about how they smell I'm not gonna judge them by their scent. That's a beautiful manatee singing a beautiful song. I'm crashing on those rocks, baby You guys just kind of left that hanging too long and I don't appreciate it. You know it's perfect bud No, you're the perfect capper. You left me out there. I'm going to a Gary Newman concert I'm going tonight and when I go to show like this. I dress with a suki goth style goth style Gary Newman is a person that wrote a song called cars ask your grandfather. Normally. I wouldn't think twice about it

However, here's the complication months ago. I found out a manager at my office It actually Justin that Haynes makes it on Like I can't my brain can't hold the words that was crazy when I'm working The business casual clothes and ten not to wear eyeliner The stud leather or show my tattoos much the manager would probably be surprised to see me in full gothish concert go retire and I Think I'd be at a loss for words if we ran into each other brothers How do I handle seeing this manager in the wild while I'm off the clock goth mode? How do I avoid him or see him?

What do I say that's from part-time? God that's a listen That's a tough one respect for trying the portmanteau on goth fist worker It didn't work out for you this time, but next time I have full faith The tongue doesn't want to say food at the same time. It's not one of our sounds is Maybe you won't run into them. Okay. That's not very good I know that's not very fun. I would be so excited at this point in my life if I were to just

Randomly find out that somebody I know pretty well secretly goth. Oh, yeah, think about how thrilling that would be I mean for the boss, it's gonna be fun if they're gonna be at this Gary Newman concert I bet they're gonna be pretty down, right? It's not like a Carpenter's tribute band is opening for them, right? Like I think Gary Newman fan would probably be pretty excited about your steeze I would argue in no matter what the concert, right? They're out at a concert if this was like we're going to a trade show Convention thing and I've decided to dress goth like in my off hours Then it's like I know nothing about the boss But your boss is attending a concert that you are also going to that alone no matter who the artist is

Like tells me like there's not like at most. They're going to be neutral surprised They're going to be like, oh Right, no judgment to it. Simply they weren't expecting to see you looking like that It might take them a second to adjust. I would be very excited. I would be very excited to find out that somebody I know has a double life But if you want to have some fun with it, you could just pretend it's not you Yeah, that's that's I don't think it would be too hard to get

I have people in my life that I see regularly that if they put on A like a short hair black spiky wig And just kind of slouched a little bit like I wouldn't be able to tell who who it was I I don't have like I'm The sensation when you see someone out of context And you only kind of know them with context clues and that like dead-eyed stare that you give them That's a real scary moment

And I'm not sure the boss will want to engage with that if they don't have to I think they'll just let it slide. I also just googled who this dude is Gary and yeah, I don't not familiar with with mr. Newman. Oh, why do you think I was singing the song cars? I mean, I know that song. I don't know much about the about gary newman Uh, but I have just googled him and it seems like if your boss doesn't dress in goth style at this concert Maybe your boss is going to be the odd one out And we'll be on the back foot so to speak because I look I just it if you look it looks like uh, uh, uh, his his like style is sort of

uh, or like his onstage style is sort of like, uh Mad max fury road villain, right? Yeah, or a little bit of like dune villain. I would give it dune ish. It's cool There's a fremen kind of look there. It looks fun. I wish I was done. Yeah You could do goth juice. It's not it's not doing goth is just like being at It's not doing 10 lasso where two people go to a jazz club and I'm like, man, I don't even like jazz That much. I like it. Okay. I just want to be And that would that be nice just like an adult thing like that

Don't you think just that people who like they're like There are goth people who see you disney dadding it up and having a great time in your disney dad lifestyle And they're like, I wish I just like disney dad. I'm just saying man The grass is always blacker on the other side. You know what I mean? Trav next time just say sliding doors and sliding doors sliding doors I'm like a cool emo dude Right cool emo dudes. I'm a cool emo dude Travis Yeah, that's the worst thing you've ever said on a recorded video or audio medium

I can't believe You have just offered that to When we say things on this show. Yeah, don't laugh Justin I'm scared right now when we say things on this show people hear them And in their brains when they receive the information we provide like I'm a cool emo dude Their brains can take that information and run in any direction. Well, I was just going to talk about how jealous I am sometimes a griffin's like nerdcore Like lifestyle and like what griffin that also suck that also sucks

But I didn't say it about myself. So I can't I don't how would you define? Like what you do, you know And you're kind of I feel like here's what I will say griff if we're all kind of putting the tiger tiger on the table and yelling at it Okay, travis can I yell at travis's tiger? No, my tiger is cool and awesome No, here it is. I'm gonna flip it on you because you you busted ass too hard on travis And I and I have a sneeze too. This is disney dad. Look this is that look is for sure it. Yeah That's that's it right and travis has his thing. Yeah What when will you when will you pick a lane? You know what I mean? Like when are you I feel like you're still

in the sort of like Could go any different way stage and it's like when do you pick a lane and go for it? That's cool, though When you don't have a lane That's when you can do you think mage?

It's just called the flop house I do a lot of correcting dan the flop house a lot of correcting dan Uh Real quick, I want to tell you guys uh, I figured out like the next like the future of tiktok the next tiktok trend Oh, oh, I can't wait to hear that. Yeah, I've been analyzing it a lot and I think it's gonna be

Really cool like hero edits Of like secondary and tertiary big bang theory characters You know those edits where sometimes it's like ncis and like criminal minds of like a guy like busting in and there's playing There's cool music underneath and it's like I've got this lightning inside me son of a gun But it's like rosh just like sitting on a couch talking But it's like really cool edits that make it seem like rosh is like about to really kick some fucking ass You know what I mean? That's the next wave. I think of like tiktok trends

Now why am I saying this because I yeah, that's and the people are asking that was definitely the question on my mind Well, it's because I can't wait for this trend to begin So I'm trying to kick start this trend a little bit and get it moving because I want to see it I was I'm manifesting a little bit. I guess I was I'm manifesting The next trend on tiktok and I need other people to do it because I don't have the editing skills To do this and I tried to post some really good You know, this is not fiver, right? This is a podcast that we do for entertainment. You're you know what you're right? This is not task rabbit where you're finding people to do your it's and he's like

I haven't used antsy's list, but I think I can use the answers Basically, why do we have a tiktok with a macro family tiktok account? How do you think people would feel if we just shifted our tiktok content from like video clips from the show and stuff To hero edits of secondary and tertiary big bank theory Characters, do you think people would like that more or less? Where do you how do you think people would react to this? I mean Gosh, trav we should try it at least once right? Well, I would normally say yes, but you tried this bit once and this is where we've gotten it's not a bit anymore

It started as a bit and now I'm just thinking this is the future of our tiktok channel Just making a hero edits of big bank theory. I guess secondary tertiary characters. I guess we can try one Okay, I guess we can try one I Want a munch Welcome munches crying as a podcast then podcast profiling latest and greatest and brand eating I uh, just wanted to talk real quickly.

Sure I I don't can you tell me who he is the purdy's brock in town, man So you didn't know he's a queasy football player. He's a football player. That's right. And apparently I guess he didn't do very well on his rookie year or teams didn't want to get it and he did good That's too bad. Well, no, but here's the story Quarterback urges fans to not sleep on b-dubs burgers like teams slept on him Whoa during this year's draft quarterback, brock purdy showcased just how tasty Buffalo wild wings burgers are by surprising fans in

He popped out of the window in a Dracula case At buffalo wild wings the wings are amazing, but you got to try the burgers too said brock purdy I don't have to do that during my rookie year. I had confidence in myself But felt like I was slept on and that's the same thing with me and these burgers are They're unexpectedly great, but you don't know how great they are until you try them What I'm saying is these burgers really emotionally resonate with me because we've both been slept on you wouldn't hey

Please Please we both know a lot of wings burgers are Burger flavors are hand smashed. So they have the perfect sear for a satisfying bite. This is grossing me out Let's talk about this other great.

And then I thought if you just show me that burger and you said what does this tie in with I'd have no fucking clue Not even if you saw spider-man swinging behind it

If I removed any context and you just showed me I would say it more closely resembles miraculous ladybug a strawberry. Yeah that too Um, I will tell you if you eat this very very red whopper so red that spider-man made You probably should get that information tattooed on your inner arm Yeah, because you otherwise you are going to have a bowel movement the next day that is going to send you into a Fuck you're gonna be like on the phone like sit in ambulance.
