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 mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? To a precious friendship I could've never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach My life, it feels like
Starting point is 00:00:45 It's better, it's better with you My life, it's better, it's better with you This is true, it's better, it's better with you My life, it's better with you Hello everybody and welcome, my brother, my brother, me and advice show for the Modrin era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy And I'm noted intellectual and middleist brother, Travis McElroy And I'm Griffin
Starting point is 00:01:25 I wanted to play a new game I invented Good For you guys, and I am pretty good at inventing games And this one was just whatever Until it congealed last night for me, I'll tell you how Cool So this game is called Simply the Guests And I'm gonna take you inside a celebrity podcast
Starting point is 00:02:01 And you are gonna tell me who the host of the podcast is Okay From me giving you the guests Can I just say to the title, a touching tribute What do you mean? To Travis' bit No, Tina turned her past yesterday She did?
Starting point is 00:02:20 Oh, yeah This is... That didn't text me, so I didn't find out about it That's sort of my... Simply the guests Can you guess from the guests Simply the guests Can you guess from the guests
Starting point is 00:02:49 Yeah, so thinking about Tina Turner really helped me to come up with the name for this Good And it's supposed to be the guests Good Okay, are you ready? Yeah, man I only have one round Then today
Starting point is 00:03:01 So this is sort of a mini pilot version of Simply the Guests You're assuming that this will take a lot less time than I think it's gonna take Are you ready? Yeah, let's go Yes Okay, the first guest on this podcast, Billy Ray Cyrus Are you gonna tell us the name of the podcast? No, that's what we have to guess
Starting point is 00:03:20 No, I can't No, no, no, you have to guess the host Based on the guests And then the bonus extra credit will be for the name of the podcast Let me ask you a question before we get any deeper into Simply the Guests How feasible is this? Is this a game where we can take the data that you give us, just goosh it around in our mind cavity Can I say to you?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Yeah If your third eye is fully open Okay It will be an absolute breeze If you are half paying attention, I give you even odds But I think the two of you together absolutely can guess Okay, because sometimes, Justin, when I bring a game to the table The difficulty level is like first time you fight Sephiroth and you're supposed to lose
Starting point is 00:04:11 And then you like wake up at a different caffeine level Okay, great What I'm saying is if your heads are on a fucking swivel, this is a big brick of marble And every single one of these names will be a piece that you're chipping away until you're left only with this person Okay, I'm ready Billy Ray Cyrus is the first guest ever Billy Ray Cyrus First guest ever on the show
Starting point is 00:04:30 Yeah Oh, okay I'm writing to you the guests in order, unedited That is extremely helpful information Thank you for clearing that up, Travis Yes John Carter Cash It's the second one
Starting point is 00:04:42 That is the son of Johnny and Jim Billy Bush Okay Albert Pujols Okay Justin, my head's on a swivel, but it's hurting my neck, me, to do it to go around Okay, okay, okay Adam Corolla
Starting point is 00:05:05 Does that help? It doesn't, it hurts Huh Clint Black Okay Is there a reason why there's so many country music? Interesting Interesting
Starting point is 00:05:18 That's like, that's maybe a macro that you could put a pin in Okay Hey, here's the next guest, is Gary Busey? So Phil Okay, is the host Blake Shelton? No, not Blake Shelton Okay And what, okay, this is the most natural, obviously the abuse
Starting point is 00:05:37 And then you have Katie Couric Whoa, okay, that gets rid of a lot of my guesses, actually It starts to chop away the base It chops the list a lot, because I was starting to think like, you know, early Sorbo But I don't think Katie would go on Sorbo You're like, okay, you're like Griffin Yeah You're doing good
Starting point is 00:06:00 Can I say, you're both doing good See, I'm thinking what's the crossroads between country music and cinema Okay, I'm afraid we're gonna have to give it, this will give it up soon But we're gonna keep, we're gonna keep moving, okay? Okay Dr. Drew Dr. Drew But Katie Couric, Gary Busey, Katie Couric, Dr. Drew
Starting point is 00:06:20 Dr. Drew Okay, wait This is what you can say about this person Big tent A big tent Yeah A big open mind This is outside of the information you've agreed to give us, so you don't have to say yes or no here
Starting point is 00:06:32 Would we agree to be on this podcast? It doesn't, it does not fucking sound like it I think, I like to think we'd have a nice long talk about it How's that? With the host of the podcast I like to think we think about it Okay I am, I am, I'm feeling good, I have an answer that feels good
Starting point is 00:06:52 You have, we have, can you say what it is, Griffin? Can I say what my guess is? Yeah, do you want to guess? I'm thinking of online Wait, wait, wait, okay Online, somewhat conservative leaning movie stars I think it's fucking Randy Quaid Here, let me finish the list, we have like four more guests, okay?
Starting point is 00:07:17 Your reaction makes me think it's not Randy Quaid Sharon Stone is after Dr. Drew Okay Interesting Dr. Drew Sharon Stone And here, we're ending the, these are, we're coming up in the last five episodes of this podcast that exist Okay Is it ongoing this podcast?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Oh, that's a good question too, it's so rocking No, it did one season at the same time Everybody else did a podcast Okay, got it, got it, got it Martin Short, oh my god Interesting I'm way off Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy
Starting point is 00:07:57 Oh wow What? I'm back to Randy Quaid I'm back on Randy Quaid Jim Brown Say that last one again Jim Brown, Hall of Famer Jim Brown, and the last guest In, in this podcast history, Anthony Fauci
Starting point is 00:08:15 What the fuck? What the fuck? Yeah man Dr. Drew and Anthony Fauci on the same season MyPillow guy and Anthony Fauci separated by two episodes Okay When, when did the MyPillow guy episode come out? Cause we were all swept up in MyPillow guy fever
Starting point is 00:08:31 When MyPillow guy first started jumped out on the scene The episode is called MyPillow guy Mike Lindell on addiction, pillows, and receiving God's message Huh Travis, if you would like to request one episode title from any of the celebs mentioned Yeah, yeah, yeah We'll provide that to you now Oh, is that mine? In fairness
Starting point is 00:08:52 Okay, that's fair No, no, no, you've introduced the idea so you get another one If there's a, if there's a celebrity you'd like to hear the angle they're coming at it from I want to hear the Sharon Stone title Interest, that was a great choice Sharon Stone on pandemics, social justice movements, and animal actors Interesting Here's the thing, is that I want to know Albert Pujols, but I don't think the information will be helpful
Starting point is 00:09:19 You want to know Albert Pujols? I want to know Albert Pujols' description, but I don't think it will be helpful For the, for the solution to the crime that we're trying to solve I'll say I want God Geez Yeah, this is You know what, let's go first
Starting point is 00:09:37 Albert Pujols, Albert Pujols may help Okay, Albert Pujols then Albert Pujols on baseball, down syndrome, and living the American dream Baseball Hmm, why, was there another baseball player on the list? There was a football player on the list Jim Brown was a footballman Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:57 Alright Now, here's the thing Here's also a note, lose sight of all the country music stars in the beginning Okay, okay, that's fair I skipped Jimmy Morris is another baseball player that has been on the show Interesting And that's helpful in some way
Starting point is 00:10:15 I did not say that I'm gonna, I'm gonna give one more guess You asked about baseball, I skipped him because I don't know who that is Okay, okay Maybe gonna use fun, I didn't want to confuse things I got it But he's another baseball player You guys need to talk to each other
Starting point is 00:10:28 Travis, if it's not Randy, who is Randy Quaid adjacent? I don't, it's not like, it ain't Sorbo, it ain't fucking Randy Travis I think has recently expressed some stuff And this I don't even know who Randy Travis is Country singer Country music's Randy Travis Wait, not Travis Tritt, I might be thinking of Travis Tritt
Starting point is 00:10:50 No, you're thinking of Randy Travis Tritt, their son Their son that they had together See, I'm still doing a podcast, you guys, you gotta do a podcast with me I'm trying to Griffin, you just froze, you just frozen the most thoughtful possible expression, it's amazing I gotta look at my Travis's No, okay, I'm thinking of Travis Tritt Justin, can you at least tell me, am I going down the correct path?
Starting point is 00:11:12 I'm walking down a path called Randy Quaid, am I walking down a true and correct path Or am I way fucking off? Yeah, yeah, you're not in the wilderness Could be Dennis Quaid Dennis Quaid, I feel like has a strong connection to baseball And Christ And I'm gonna say Dennis Quaid, final answer Final answer, Griffin
Starting point is 00:11:36 I think Travis has got it It's Dennis Quaid Now, stop, name the show Here's the bonus to Dennis Quaid It is a pun A Dennis pun? A Dennis pun The Dennis office
Starting point is 00:11:54 Okay, keep talking The Dennis office The Dennis office is no Travis, that Griffin did bad, what do you got? It doesn't have to be funny or clever Cause it's not ours, we're just trying to guess it Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm trying to Chip away
Starting point is 00:12:10 Dennis something, it's something with Dennis It's something with Dennis, so it's not like Quaid I will warn you about this It fucking hits Shit, you're gonna, you will be like Yeah, that's the best one You guys found it Dennis, it's not Dennis the Menace
Starting point is 00:12:28 It's not Dennis the Menace, no Dennis There's just not many words that sound like Dennis It's the Dennis Chair One word One word, the first half is Dennis Is it Dennisance?
Starting point is 00:12:50 It's the Dennisance That's it, that is it The name of the podcast is the Dennisance That is it Yeah, that's good Let's say this To protect ourselves When you started, you started
Starting point is 00:13:08 When you started saying Randy Quaid In my head, I was like, I felt like Dennis was like Kaiser Soze Blending it behind him I forget about Dennis's leanings sometimes That's Dennis's whole, well, here This guest list is wild
Starting point is 00:13:24 It runs again Has to be the most diverse crowd of like And Justin, you weren't wrong If we got an email from Dennis Quaid Being like, come on our show We talk about it He's our frequency I don't know, man
Starting point is 00:13:40 He was in frequency, that film slaps He was in frequency That baseball player, by the way, was the rookie Yeah And I thought Martin Short would When you said Randy Quaid And then I said Martin Short right after I thought you were going to make that leap to Dennis
Starting point is 00:13:56 But people forget about Dennis Well I think for a long time People forgot about Randy And then Randy was like, how do I come screaming in here In such a way that I'm going to overshadow You know what, I've got it Randy is like
Starting point is 00:14:12 A zucchini you left in The bottom drawer, without our attention He has grown feted and wild Yeah, sure He's built his own ecosystem Around himself down there I'm part of the CRISPR Okay
Starting point is 00:14:28 This is an advice show This is to Dennis Keep it up Keep it up, get back in the game I guess you did that one When everybody else did one Hey, do you know that there's two other Quaid siblings? Fuck off
Starting point is 00:14:44 No way Yeah, Randy Quaid It can't be that That's not it And Buddy Quaid Randy Quaid Sounds like if he was casting a remake of some Like it Hot, that would be like his
Starting point is 00:15:00 His character Now, oh, I see, Randy Quaid is a stepsister Okay, that actually makes more sense Weirdly, that you wouldn't arrive at that Naturally I think is It's very encouraging My boyfriend and I were looking
Starting point is 00:15:18 For a bar Before your Columbus Taz show And walked by one that looked Empty and not like our vibe But it had tended windows, so it was hard to tell We walked to another bar And inside the door person flagged us down And said someone was looking for us
Starting point is 00:15:34 We were already inside this other bar When the woman who was working at the first bar Said she saw us looking in And said, please come into my bar We have cheaper drinks Get out now We were confused and started Startled and decided to stay at the bar already yet
Starting point is 00:15:50 But we weren't sure if we regretted it Because this person went through the effort To not have a block, crossed the busy street Went through an evolving door to get to us Also, the drinks at the bar were expensive Should we have gone back To the other bar instead That's from Confusing Columbus
Starting point is 00:16:06 You should not have gone back to the other bar Let's answer that right now One, Justin You were pursued And you know what, even removing Is like, oh, it's a trap kind of feeling If you go in there The owner of this bar, the person working
Starting point is 00:16:22 There is so little business That they can leave The bar To pursue you There's going to be so much focus on you The singular customer That could be good though That could be good
Starting point is 00:16:40 Because what if this Young entrepreneur has some Stories Do you know what I mean? I'm always Young entrepreneurs talk to me more I'm always Just waiting for
Starting point is 00:16:56 The next entrepreneur to tell me The big cool story At a business or party That I go to And this is an opportunity It may not be a very good story But they are going to be focusing completely on you You're not going to have to wait for drinks
Starting point is 00:17:12 In fact, I bet you can probably get those bad boys first Dime in a song if you really wanted to Say, it's either this Or no business You hold a tremendous amount of power You can negotiate Don't do that Don't negotiate about drinks
Starting point is 00:17:28 But I would also ask In reading this question It seems to me that Whoever has done the bar Design Branding Has done a poor enough job That this isn't the first time this person has done this
Starting point is 00:17:44 The idea that it's like The next person that looks in this window I'm going to get them This is something they have had to do Yeah I don't care for that The story that you're going to get From this young business person
Starting point is 00:18:00 Is very exciting and could be anything War or like a celebrity Or like any kind of Cool crime Like any kind of cool story But their windows on this bar Are so tinted that you cannot see into them And I don't like being in any kind of
Starting point is 00:18:16 In closed space where that's true I want all eyes on me Outside for accountability Purposes and security purposes If someone's like where was the last place You saw him, I need someone to be like It was like 20 minutes ago over there In this big window, he was on display for everybody
Starting point is 00:18:32 And he kept his hand up against the window And like every so often would move And hold up today's newspaper It was very helpful I do like though I owned a customer based business I do like the move Of like if I had a restaurant
Starting point is 00:18:48 Next to another restaurant And I saw somebody go in that restaurant Of walking in there and walking up to him Like hey before you order, my food is cheaper Are you certain You don't want and this bread Is fine, my bread I put way more in the basket for you
Starting point is 00:19:04 Here's what I'll say, Tom Green did do this He got to this first He used in on his television show He had a thing called undercutters Where he would travel around With a tackle box Of toppings and a crust And then as the person was going to the door
Starting point is 00:19:20 To get their pizza He would open his and make the pizza they had And try to sell it for less To them and leave the other guy out of the car That's very good And that didn't catch on because I kind of felt like He might shark tank that if it was Effective
Starting point is 00:19:36 He probably would have called it shark tank though He would have called it shark tank He would have called it shark tank Yeah, it's kind of south part Very irrelevant A reverent is what I meant to say And I feel like I might have Didn't mean to drag Tom
Starting point is 00:19:52 It's irreverent He's clearly irrelevant I just talked about There is In Austin On 6th Street There's just all bars They have to compete
Starting point is 00:20:08 For foot traffic so much That basically every bar has A sentry posted outside Who is Handing out flyers and yelling And trying to get you to come in That energy sucks for me So bad
Starting point is 00:20:24 I guess people on there grind It's an avenue of broken dreams Anytime I walk down 6 And I'm like no That doesn't quite seem Nice but The windows don't get to the game stop If you guys could just let me
Starting point is 00:20:40 Excuse me Why don't you just This person should be advertising on the outside That they have the competitive advantage In a specifically hyper local sense The sign outside should say Cheapest drinks on the half block On this half of the block
Starting point is 00:20:56 This is the cheapest drinks I would like to Griffin Big investors Real angel investors I might get a crack at this beautiful egg Justin will see how Competitive the video gets
Starting point is 00:21:12 Maybe your crypto shit is going to pay off someday I don't have crypto shit I want to buy Cybersalsa Cybersalsa Crypt tacos And then I do You know what Superman hates cleaning up
Starting point is 00:21:30 While I tell you it's crypto shit I get it Hey did we ever talk about how The thing that kills Superman Is also what he named his dog Okay so That's pretty good Traff I want to buy up a line of those bars
Starting point is 00:21:48 On 6th avenue But then I'm going to knock down Whatever I'm going to knock down the dividing walls But keep all the facades the same That kicks ass Travis You are basically pitching A Exiting a Disney park
Starting point is 00:22:04 Turbo store Where it's just one half mile long corridor Of shops With basically the same shit In all of them So that way you can go into the entrance Of whichever one feels like your vibe But then inside it's all pretty much the same bar
Starting point is 00:22:20 That's fucking great Like a little Mars bar Of just different experiences That's really good Traff This is what Disney does Outside the thing it'll say Crystal shop enter here And next door it's like framed photos
Starting point is 00:22:36 And then you go in and just like Here's Mickey's balls on his shirt It's all the same shit You want some goofy Hey we let goofy make sour balls No they don't do those anymore They don't do those anymore They don't do the goofy sour balls anymore
Starting point is 00:22:52 Listen that was the only confection That that mouse in his business Has ever created That I was like deeply into And then goofy took his sour balls away There is only one way you could know that And that is if you went to someone Who was employed by the mouse
Starting point is 00:23:08 It was like what's up I said where's goofy's sour balls And they said we don't do those anymore People were saying too much rude stuff About it Goofy got upset They said why are your balls so little Goofy
Starting point is 00:23:24 They said that to Goofy To George Gief George Gief they would go to him And say your balls are so small And so sour Wash your little balls Goof Gooster And he'd be like wash these
Starting point is 00:23:40 And they'd be like these what And he'd be like these nuts get out of my fucking house But then they would be like we were already talking About testicles Goofy You can't these nuts that Borsh yeah Borsh You guys have another question
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah I feel like Travis is going to do a shark tank bit But forgot about it and that's fine No I said I said I was I want to knock down the walls between the bars Oh okay I got you I need six million dollars please I'm enrolled In summer college courses
Starting point is 00:24:12 In one of my classes a guy in front of me Likes to stretch backwards over his chair with his eyes closed His head basically ends up right on my desk And he will breathe in my face I had uh I've had to move my laptop To stop him from laying on it Am I the weird one for staring at the guys
Starting point is 00:24:28 He disrupts all my belongings in my personal space He does it more than five times a class It's very awkward and it makes it hard to focus on the lecture Should I say something Help me brothers how do I stop this Stretching bandit from stealing my peace of mind That's from cramp college Co-ed in Canada
Starting point is 00:24:44 Very good I got it I got a way you can fix this real quick Get your laptop Close it up Open up a quick jar Just get a quick jar of it Smell a whole bunch of jelly on it
Starting point is 00:25:00 On your desk On your desk Smell a whole bunch of jelly on your desk Sort of a double edged sword though Bubble leans back Is that jelly Never does it again Never does it again
Starting point is 00:25:16 Game set Match You gotta This person's obviously crossing Some pretty literal And figurative emotional Social boundaries Unthinkable and tenable
Starting point is 00:25:32 But If you wanted to deal with the problem Just a quick like Obviously they're having some upper back Neck, shoulder Issues Give them a little A helpful chop
Starting point is 00:25:48 We're not saying to hurt them But obviously some shits out of alignment Oh they need a chiropractic Adjustment Give them a surprise chiropractic adjustment No don't do that But Theragun's a Kimbo Get in there and get into those knots
Starting point is 00:26:04 And those muscles Just to clarify so far The options we've offered I think in jelly Come at them with Some surprise therapy We have not offered Saying excuse me you're kind of in my space
Starting point is 00:26:20 If you could not do that anymore That's out That's wrong And the only reason Travis is that it's not very funny And it doesn't give us very much room to play with And what if The obvious concern for all of us Is that if you said that
Starting point is 00:26:36 And this person said you're nothing Funny and no one likes you And it's like they see right through Then you gotta drop out of college Then you have to quit college And never talk to anybody ever again Okay so if that's the case then Bunch of broken glass in the jelly
Starting point is 00:26:52 Justin, Travis This person is in pain This person's in pain You need to get dual percussive massagers And help Your fellow person That's nice Another thing you can do is when they lean back
Starting point is 00:27:08 Hover over them and say there's my sweet boy That could be a little kiss on the forehead Probably not a little kiss on the forehead No we're not just gonna randomly kiss somebody You're right Little close This is a good opportunity for you to teach him about Constant
Starting point is 00:27:24 You don't know how my permission to get up In my DMZ That's my desk militarized zone That's where I have all these little toy soldiers here In jelly Here's a sticker on your forehead instead Think about it Of a kiss
Starting point is 00:27:40 Here's a Hershey kiss on your forehead Oh no, I've incentivized the leaning back Please don't do that anymore That's a gold star, dang it Damn it Now you start leaning forward to stretch And see if you can time it out So you're going back and forth
Starting point is 00:27:56 Until everybody's doing it, what's that? It's the wave, you're welcome That's interesting Here's one thing that I feel like gets lost In the shuffle sometimes with my brother If you did all these things The problem Would cease to be
Starting point is 00:28:12 This would fix the problem Like this one's solved Like you do all these things This isn't a problem anymore We've got like a 100% success rate If our advice is implemented What we don't talk about Is the percentage of the consequence rate
Starting point is 00:28:28 Which can sometimes far exceed Far, far, far exceed The original problems We don't give tactical advice Consequences, go to the Denisons Consequence free Come here Or Randy Quaid's podcast that he probably does
Starting point is 00:28:44 Probably called Consequence Free The Randy Quaid story It's called the Denisons The Denisons too The Randy Sauce It's called Randy Sauce It's called It's called Randy McDowell
Starting point is 00:29:04 It's called Randy from Toy Story It's called Randy's Mints And he just lays out his little bomb moths for you That's cool He needs to stop changing the title though Because it's getting hard to search for it Every time he thinks of a different Randy-based plan
Starting point is 00:29:24 Oh fuck yeah What about like the Randy Bowl And someone's like what does that mean Oh you already changed Yanky Doodle Randy No you already did that podcast Back in 99 After these messages
Starting point is 00:29:40 We'll be right back Let's go to the Money Zone Listen Justin Well Justin I didn't have the window open And you can't tell our voices apart That's cool
Starting point is 00:30:02 Now listen Justin You know you've got symptoms You know you do And you don't have anyone you could talk to about My back's aching We're not talking about your symptoms right now I wouldn't even begin to know Where to start categorizing

Starting point is 00:45:54 Something something I regret this I regret this whole segment Except for this next bit That they have written down Which is truly truly next level Which is simply I find your lack of nudity
Starting point is 00:46:10 Disturbing Are you sure? Are you sure about that one? That's all time Now I will say this If this was I've been in an established relationship with this person for a long time And maybe things have grown
Starting point is 00:46:26 And we're both huge Star Wars We're huge Star Wars nerds And maybe we've become too comfortable With one another We spend a lot of time The heat's just not there anymore And we're looking for ways to spice it up Go fucking for it man
Starting point is 00:46:42 It's risky But if that fades off Yeah But as a stranger I know It's such a cold shot Yes There's one out of a hundred people
Starting point is 00:46:58 Where you'd be like There's one out of 56 million people No way There's seven people on the planet earth Now who would hear that and go That's pretty good my man I also say this Justin There's also not just
Starting point is 00:47:14 Deploying it Got to deploy it with confidence But knowing the right time Within this beginning of a You couldn't say it first I don't think you'd say it right away to start The interaction You also couldn't say it
Starting point is 00:47:30 You can't say it It's funny because actually it says here If you are in a social situation where you are flirting with someone Your brain actually will not allow you to On the table but you can't lift up your pinky It's one of those like your brain simply won't Let you say that and that's good That's an evolutionary success story
Starting point is 00:47:46 Can I do this one from fucking Lord of the Rings Because there's a real good one in here too I did not see when I was Vetting this article So I mean are you smog Because you look like you have treasure in your cave I don't think that's something that anyone Really wants to hear about themselves
Starting point is 00:48:02 But then this Are you from Mordor Because you're melting my precious Huh Now huh It's so Hot down there Because of you
Starting point is 00:48:18 That it has melted If my precious Are the emotional walls I've built around my heart That stopped me from being open to it But if you're saying you've You've burned my penis away You've burned my penis away like chaff
Starting point is 00:48:34 I think Now If they turn around to you and like One does not simply walk into Rebecca Sure I think I'm gonna end the bit now Now here is a good denial If somebody uses the Lord of the Rings pickup line on you
Starting point is 00:48:50 And you would like to reject them You respond, hey how about you make Like your photo and I'm Legolas And just go ahead and forget my name Do you guys know about this theory That Frodo doesn't know Legolas' name In the Lord of the Rings If you, it's a great theory that
Starting point is 00:49:06 Like the only time Legolas ever talks to Frodo Is when he says you have my bow And at the end of the movie When all the people are coming in in Frodo's bed He like smiles everyone's name Except Legolas Like Aragorn comes in and he's like You see him say like Aragorn
Starting point is 00:49:22 And then Legolas comes in and he just goes Oh It's so uncomfortable The whole time He heard it like when they were like Forming the fellowship and he was like As he was walking off with his hobbit bros At the end of that he was like oh fuck
Starting point is 00:49:38 What was the elf's Shit did anyone hear the elf's name He's so pretty that when I saw him He was like hello I'm And I just my brain didn't hear it It's not there man It was together long enough that I think it was like Midway Frodo started thinking like
Starting point is 00:49:54 I didn't learn this elf's name And at this point it would be So wild for me to ask I didn't think he'd be around this long If I'm being honest Boromir got that one Where's that guy? Alright
Starting point is 00:50:10 Rather than you in the article I think we could come up with our own I don't One of these Boy You make me feel like John Reese Davis And Sliders because I want to climb in those holes So this is what I was afraid of

Starting point is 00:52:04 To maybe win the grill And I have no interest in this service Don't say that That's not a good thing to say Hold on That's from the poor hopeful Embi If you didn't win the grill To me
Starting point is 00:52:20 Why not say that Now that option has passed That's gone They call and say We want to help you buy a home Guess what I only signed up for that To win the grill and the card which I didn't do
