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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Game set
Match
You gotta
This person's obviously crossing
Some pretty literal
And figurative emotional
Social boundaries
Unthinkable and tenable
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
My back's aching
My hips popping from left to right
To the left to the right
Left right left right left right
My back hurts my feet stink
Peanut butter in a cup
We sing this song to bump us up
Come on Travis do that thing
And so
I was told to do that thing
Justin if you'll check the stenographer's notes
I believe that
Commerce does not bow
To having to do that thing
I was specifically
Handed the ability to do that thing
And then you stepped in and you started doing
The thing which had become my thing
Well my thing was doing the podcast for money
And I love that
I actually like Justin's thing way better
You do your thing now
Okay I will tell you
That it is tough to find a doctor
That's a great fit for you
And that can lead to you trying to diagnose yourself
For the internet and it's a whole thing
You're going down there like well I sometimes
My left leg does it
Like well you may
Be a redneck
A redneck
My neck is really red
Well you just might be a redneck

You probably already have a favorite animal
Maybe it's a powerful apex predator
Like the tiger or a cute and cuddly panda
And those are great
But have you considered something a little more
Unconventional?
Could I perhaps interest you
In the Greenland shark
Which can live for nearly 400 years
Or maybe the jewel wasp
Who performs brain surgery on cockroaches

Jordan you've interviewed so many directors
Actors, writers, film critics
And I like to play this little game
Where I take a sip of coffee every time someone says
That's such a great question
That's such a fabulous question
Or they tell you how smart you are
I think that you are rather brilliant
And of course the big one is
When they cry unexpectedly
Jordan I don't want to cry on your podcast
I wouldn't expect them to cry
I mean it makes me kind of want to cry
Feeling Scene comes out every Thursday
On MaximumFun.org
Listen already, what are you waiting for?
Jordan that's such a great question
May we approach the Wizards
We may
This is the Wizard of the Cloud bit
Where we go to WikiHow
And
Our friend Joe sent this in
Thanks Joe
Not Joe Biden
It was a real Joe who sent this in
But not like the fake made up Joe Biden
Right
This is a real Joe
This is an average Joe
I wouldn't say that
This is how to talk nerdy
To someone
Talk nerdy to me is a play
On the phrase talk dirty to me
But how do you actually do it?
If you want to impress the cute nerd in your science class
Or the geek in your life
Speaking their nerdy love language is a good place to start
To help you be more adorable
We've gone a deep dive into the world
Of geekery
Read on for a crash course in Nerdspeak
Oh my god, all of this hurts
Yeah strap in fellas
Cause there's some cool shit
Number one, science and physics
Are you a carbon sample? Because I definitely want to date you
If you've seen the Big Bang Theory
Then you already know
Science and physics nerds are the best nerds
Science and physics nerds are the best nerds
Is that you have to distinguish
The pickup lines
From the like
Narration here because I
It seems indistinguishable
Sorry sorry, every one of these opens with
I guess the best pickup line in the category
Are you a carbon sample because I definitely want to date you
Can I also just say
I love the premise of this entire article
Which is
If you want to talk dirty
Slash pick up
A nerd person
Well you can't use regular means
Because as we all know
People who like nerd shit
Hate
Any reference to romance or sex
Or anything like that
You gotta talk to them in their language
If you can just
Quote
Big Bang Theory
Alright
There's some more, none of you agree
That we should Big Bang
That's actually pretty good
That's good
That's actually pretty good
That's good
Mathematics is cool
You've got more curves than a triple
Into
Into girl
Can math be
Dot dot dot sexy
Yeah look at an 8 man
Look at it
8
Look at it, it's really the only one
Oh pretty close to mine
My love is like a
88
Sounds like a busy night for me
There's a lot of 8's in there
Try plugging one of these solutions
Into their equation
My love is like a fractal, it goes on forever
Are you the square root of 2?
Because I feel irrational around you
Some of these
Gotta recognize it
That sounds like a threat
Actually
I feel irrational
You make me feel like I could do anything
Outer space
That enters your solar system
Let's take a pause
Let's take a cleansing breath here
That one didn't feel right
When you typed it
You had the whole
Universe of heavenly bodies
References
And you will
You guys have established
Pre-established
Outer space theme pickup lines
That are out there already
And I feel like everybody knows a few of them
Mind if my comment enters your solar system
So
Such a misjudgment
Of taste
Of astronomy
Of norms, social norms
When you're doing a punny pickup line
Or something like that
You need to know in your own mind
Exactly what the words are referencing
Even if it's a pun
And here's the thing you guys
That can only mean
Like one, maybe two things
And saying, do you mind
If
Do you mind
One of those space ones
Is, hey, nice asteroids
Nope
Technology
This place must have free Wi-Fi
Because I'm feeling a connection
Not terrible
You shouldn't
You can unzip my files anytime
Now once again
Just even putting unzip in there
Okay
Was that even me?
But unzip my files
You can open up my genitalia
I think files is referring to
A zone
Okay
Another one of these that I don't hate
You're even hotter than the bottom of my laptop
That one's actually
Kind of got some heat
I feel like no pun intended
You're hotter than the bottom of my laptop
And yeah, I am sterile
Thank you very much
Very intuitive
I own an early, early aliaware laptop
It's a scorched wasteland
Down there
The built-in fan burned out
Overclocked
I wasn't getting enough polygons
In my doom
I went back to that guy and said, make me a Kindle down there
I just want
Burn it out
Alright, it's time to get into video games
And you guys I know are crazy about these fucking things
Yeah, dude
And this is where we really start to get into some good shit
Like really kind of hot shit
Honestly
Your beauty rivals the graphics of Call of Duty
Now
Is that a game?
You guys are both big game bros
Big game hunters
It is a game, yes
Is it a game known for its graphics fidelity?
And known for like when people are like
Oh, if you want to talk about graphics
Got Call of Duty
Call of Duty
You have, I mean you've
Hoved in the
Maybe the least
The smallest problem with this
Call of Duty is a
Showpiece
Then there's no problems with this pickup line
No, it's good, I'm glad we clarified that
Kind of graphics
For sure
Call of Duty is kind of
Infamous for its updates are like huge
Like half a terabyte
That clogs up your computer
So you could say something like your beauty rivals the
Shear
Mass of the file size
Of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Remake
From 2021
If you want to get to the next level
With a gamer you have to get their attention first
Hey
Hey, hey, time to game
Tetris
Considering how focused they can be on their game
That's easier said than done
You love me
Give one of these silly lines to try
You and me, tomorrow, my fort
If they don't know
If they don't know, if they think that's like
A toly
Just like an inch thing
A small building
That you made in a yard
Maybe out of blankets even
I don't think that
That one would work on anyone
I need experience points, will you help me out
Yes
Bonk
Now I have your horns and I can sell these
Back to the warrior guild master
Okay, once again, hey, just to
Let's decipher that pun
What you're saying is
I'm bad at sex
If you could help me
Get a little bit better
Man, I'd appreciate any tips
You've got
I'll bonk it as many rats as you got
Just tell me, man
I want to go
On a side quest
To the bedroom
It's not the main quest
The main quest is
A search for purity in the eyes of Jesus
And a side quest that we're doing
That may or may not advance that particular role
Is you and me making tender love
And if you want to get
We can get distracted just by collectibles
That aren't necessarily a quest
If we want to just get tacos later
That won't advance the story in any way whatsoever
But they're good
Listen, here's what you do
You go in
Disrobe in front of your partner and say, dang
I wish this game had photo mode
Because I would love to be taking pictures
And video of you right now
Hold on, you said you disrobe
So you're negative
You both disrobe, okay
It would be weird to have the person disrobe
You just met each other and they know you're a gamer
And you won't disrobe, what are you hiding
No, but I do love the idea, Joseph
Looking at your partner and be like, hey
Will you come in here and disrobe with me
Because I want to say something to you
And it really is important to say
It would be, if you didn't
Clothes is a nightmare
You have to be fully vulnerable
It's a naked moment
Well then why not you disrobe
And walk in and be like, I wish you were taking photos
And videos of me right now
That's self-aggrandizing Travis
The problems before you say them
Listen, Star Wars
And we'll get through this one fast
I'm rock hard, how'd you do that
You are the droid I've been looking for
No, that's
No, not a droid
You are the droid I've been looking for
You're a piece of machinery
If you're crushing on a Star Wars nerd
You may need to use the force
To woo them effectively
Luckily your midichlorian count is high in Europe
For the challenge, try one of these Yoda approved pickup lines
She's saying the midichlorian count is high in Europe
Try what?
Did you say your midichlorian
Count is high in Europe
And you're up for the challenge
Okay, that makes more sense
Yeah, try one of these
Get me over there in Spain, see how you do
Where do they do metric?
My midichlorian count
I'm off the charts
Try one of these Yoda approved pickup lines
I'll approve your pickup
Pull down some trim
You will
Got real
Must be cocky shell
Where's some real count
Puss, I can't assure you
Get some strength
No
I knew you'd be here
I did not
Man, shoot, gotta just
Where you will get
Okay, turn it down
Stop it, clipping Yoda could make me laugh at something
That I don't feel comfortable laughing at
Yeah, sure, turn him down
That's one
Of our two clipping Yoda appearances
For the rest of the year
One of these is just
I'll save this one
Want to take a spin on my Millennium Falcon
There's some people that if you said that to them
They'd be like
You've got like a
Like some sort of big wheel
Situation
Some sort of hover
Craft situation
Let's get hot and heavy
If you said that to anyone
Even the biggest Star Wars fan
They would say sorry
Did you say hot and heavy
No, you heard me
And I understand what you're going there for
Hot, notably cold
It is an ice planet
It doesn't work there
Because if you said that to me, I'd be like
Now what about I'd let you climb in my tauntaun
Any day
Okay
Okay
We'll get this in post
Something something something
And I thought they smelled bad on the outside
Some sort of like
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
How about
Right
That was good
John Reese Savies in holes
Sorry Sliders
Holes is Shia LaBeouf
And that's not nerd shit
I'm talking about John Reese Savies in
Sliders Griffin are you googling
Shia LaBeouf's holes notable
Jock fodder
Griffin are you looking
Up a nerd joke that you could tell
I'm just looking at
Nerd movies
You couldn't think of nerd movies
Well Griffin's a known
Jock
Ask Griffin about sports movies
He's got those
Hoosiers
Pork balls
Fucking
Space Jam 2
Fucking
The whole kitten caboodle
The whole kitten caboodle
Don't get me started
The whole bud franchise
All the buds
Hoosiers
I don't know what you're doing
Griffin but the wheels have fallen off
Of your segment I'm taking the reins from you
Oh no Griffin's glitching out
Hoosiers
My bank has
My bank has been advertising
A home ownership service to help folks
Buy and sell homes
I usually ignore them but this time
I bring a chance to win a flat top grill package
With a $100 gift card
To a very expensive butcher
I've been really wanting to get my dad a new grill
Brothers I have no way of buying a house loan to sell one
They are contacting me and trying to help me buy a house
How to explain them I've only entered
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
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
If you do win the grill
And the meat
You will need to buy a house
Travis you are misunderstanding
This is a real time dilemma
This is a real time dilemma
The drawing has not yet concluded
They don't know if they've won
But they are getting realtors
Pounding on the walls
By house by house or sell this one
I've got it
Next call you get
You say okay great
My budget is about $750
Do you have anything for $750
Like $750
Move in ready
Gotta be moving ready
Furnished would be ideal
Because I don't have any of that
But like $750
Tops
I have a down payment of about $10
I could probably do
So first of all I'm going to need to see
What the APR
Is on a $750 loan
Yes
I might be able to do $11
I think I have a dollar
I'm going to check my jeans
This is a $6,310
Is that standard
That seems like a lot
You just tell them
The truth like hey I'm going to wait
And see how this whole girl thing shakes up
Because honestly if I don't have a grill
I don't need a house
If you
Now if you want to talk to the grill
The candy man over there with the girl
Girl giver wear guy
If you guys got a few grills you want to slide this way
Maybe we'll talk, maybe I'll start to need one
Get enough grills going
I need a home to put them in
If I don't win the grill I don't need a house
If you get the grill
You're like well I was going to sell you my house
Damn thing burned it all up
This GD grill burned my whole shit down
So now I got no house to sell to you Tracy
I got no house to sell and I kept all my money
In bill form inside the house
It's gone to you man
What insurance I wish
There's a ton if you win
The number of avenues now open to you
For to see are simply tremendous
You could say like
Listen I was going to sell you my house
But with this GD grill
I've made so many precious backyard memories
With my family I thought of leaving this home
Is just seems wrong
So I am so sorry
I was going to buy a house but then I grilled so good
That Bobby Flays showed up
And said come live with me and be my son
