Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sex expert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it.

And the middle is brother, woof woof woof. What up, Travnation? It's me, your sweet baby brother, girl from McElroy. Hi, Travis Nation.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I got a question on that, you guys. I have a good question. Do you wanna have a summer party in my basement? Do I make your heart beat like I didn't know it? Graham, is my love your drug? Go on. You guys keep your keys in your pocket? No, Travis.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Nope. Keep my keys in my pocket. Do you keep your keys in your pocket? No, Treff. No. Keep my keys in my pocket. Do you keep your keys in your pocket? Do you mean ADC all day carry, or do you know when it's car time? Here's what I'm saying. There are times where my pocket is the conveyance method for my keys.
Starting point is 00:01:57 No, your house. And you're in your home or your keys in your pocket? No, God no, God no. No. Well, bad news guys, me neither, but I've just discovered my keys are in my pocket. Oh my God. I do not know how to deal with this.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Do you think on some level, you were like planning to flee in the middle of her courting and think I said juice, you gotta go drive, pal? I almost always leave my keys in the car. The roads are calling. Your big car from Pauic is calling you. You gotta get out there. I leave my keys in my car,
Starting point is 00:02:23 because I live in West Virginia and there's no caramel out. Yeah, nobody steals catalytic get out there. I'll leave my keys in my car, because I live in West Virginia, and there's no crime allowed. Yeah, nobody steals catalytic converters there. For cars, you don't need keys to get a catalytic converter, Travis. No, but it helps. If you want to drive to the store and buy one, just how do you pop a catalytic converter off? Go ahead and give us a step by play by play
Starting point is 00:02:40 on how that works. Well, I know it's on the outside, Griff. It's not the outside. Well, it's not on the outside. It's not on the cap I know it's on the outside, Griff. It's not the outside. Well, it's not on the outside. It's not on the cat. It's not on the outside. It's not like the fusion converter recycler thing that they plugged onto the delorean,
Starting point is 00:02:51 to not have to worry about it. We have no way of knowing that. That's fair. Let's not lose sight of the fact that my cheese are in my pocket. I forgot for a second, choose what a panic you throw me back into. Give me, there's like all options, all are bad.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Give me any solutions. Okay, you take a matter of your product, you put them on your desk. You will forget they are there when it is car time. 100% 100% 100%. That's 20 minutes. That's 20 minutes of this precious gift of life that I will spend running around my house. Yeah, finding other things.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Yeah, but not my keys. So that's out. 100% out. Okay, okay. Here's, okay. All right, all right. What else do you have around you do you have like a smartwatch?
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah? Okay, put your smartwatch, loop it, latch it through the key ring. Yes, the key ring. A chain. Lose both, is what you're saying. You make it bigger, tie, if you have a belt, Justin, you have a belt on right now.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Griffin, if I put my keys on my belt, I am no better off than I am right this second with a key. Well, no, I'm taking, you just take the belt off, loop it through the keys. You just need to make the keys bigger. So when you go, I'm gonna lose them all easy. Now, hold on a sec.
Starting point is 00:03:56 So wait, you're saying, if you take your belt off, okay, make it. I wear it, now listen. I wear, I don't know, I'm gonna change the things, but I wear, I don't know, changes things, but I wear, I guess you'd call it a prescription belt, a prescription elastic belt,
Starting point is 00:04:10 because I was getting a lot of tiny holes in my t-shirt from Wilbur Boky Buckel's. I had that. I wear an elastic t-shirt with a flat, a elastic belt, with a flat clip on the foot. And a doctor, you're saying a doctor prescribed this piece. Or is self self prescribed self diagnosed
Starting point is 00:04:29 yeah i'm just i was imagining a conversation across the counter at right aid of you like yeah man doctors orders there okay okay just sell you this belt sir no. No, no, no, no, no. I have a piece, this isn't an over the counter belt. No, no, no, no, no. I have a piece of paper signed by a medical physician. This thing is show the clip is, okay. I got the belt on the keys. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:04:56 Okay, can you wear it over your shoulder like a bandalier? Okay, okay, okay. So the pants are just gonna fall off and you're fine with that. You're sitting down. Yeah, but I'm gonna have to leave the room, right? So I'm gonna take this whole,
Starting point is 00:05:08 what do I do with this in my hand now? And now listen, take off your smart watch and then loop that. Wait, hold on, give me a second. Okay, smart watch out. You should have already been doing it. You should have already done that. Put that around the belt now.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Wait, around the belt, so I need to close the belt. Yeah, so you're making like a Christmas countdown ring. Okay. We need to make this whole thing, this whole production is big and eye catching as it's possible. The benefit with the watch, now Justin, you have Apple's incredible tracking technology.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah. Working for you. If you're like, where's my keys? You'd be like, well, the keys are with the belt. The belt is with my watch. The watch is downstairs. You can put it wherever. You'll never lose that fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:05:45 What about the phone? What the fuck? That's not in my pocket either, that's on the table. Whoa, your phone's on your pocket? No, I take it out. You should put your phone in your pocket, J-Dog. To keep your balls warm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Well, okay, but my balls require constant the mag safe charging. My balls are Bluetooth connected to my phone, but if they get too far apart, my balls are gonna shut down. Travis has a reverse crank, crank. Yeah. Can I see something, guys?
Starting point is 00:06:15 Gotta keep my balls calm down. I don't think, I've sent you a picture where I'm at right now. I don't think, I sent it to Sydney in Travis for some reason. Yeah, I didn't get this. Yeah, sorry, I don't know. Travis, you want to describe? Who's hails of that?
Starting point is 00:06:33 Yeah, so what we're looking at here, I would say it looks like a threat like Justin is letting me know that he has for some reason his apple watcher is willing to hurt it. And so I need to give him money. It seems like to me, this is definitely a proof of life of photo here. I mean, don't get me wrong. This also seems like it be a pretty badass weapon. Like a nice. Justin didn't wait. Stop.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Stop. Justin then. So he sent that picture to me and Sydney and then Justin said, sorry, but dial to his wife and I I know what the picture was. So your explanation, I was holding up a bell with a watch and I but dialed took the picture, uploaded it and sent it to you.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Yeah, the photo, which is clearly taken from your POV. I don't have time to explain. I'm recording a podcast. This is important. This is important. This is important. There's a quarter on the floor. I see it in the picture. You should get that quarter.
Starting point is 00:07:31 That's 25 cents my man. Then take the picture again. So we know you did it. So I put the quarter in my pocket and there it will stay for years. No, loop the quarter through your watch. Quarter needs to join this incredible weapon. I can't get the quarter in.
Starting point is 00:07:44 You're right. Now is that attitude? No, no, no. There can't get the quarter in. You're right. Now is that attitude? There's no place for the quarter. Okay. Listen, Justin's right. Juice, I don't know if this has helped at all, but you have created a pretty kick ass little cyberpunk accessory.
Starting point is 00:07:58 That, like if I saw you coming down the street, if I saw a person coming down the street with a belt that had a watch and the keys in it. That's Batman. That's Batman. That's Batman. That's Simon Batman's belt. That's techno, board, like.
Starting point is 00:08:15 What's not, what's gonna surprise him is, what's gonna surprise him about it is that I have a knife in my pocket and they're not gonna think about that. Now that's wild to me, Juice, that the keys bother you, but you will rock with an actual all day carry on your person. And then hey Griffin, I'm gonna start interview. It's everyday carry because you don't sleep
Starting point is 00:08:37 with the knife in your pocket. It's just that every day you put it in your pocket. So it's not all night carry. It's not all day carry. Okay, but listen. It's not Drew night carry. It's not all day carry. Okay, but listen. It's not Drew carry. Listen, it's wild that you think you need a knife all the time.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I'm gonna know, I always have to. I know that's your new jerk responses to make me feel small, but really, really hear me out here. If I'm in a situation where I need a knife, I can usually just get one, I don't need one. I reach situations where I need a knife and I need a spatula, an equal amount of times in my day to day life,
Starting point is 00:09:11 but you do not see me carrying a spatula around in my pocket. Everybody thinks that until the fuck Black Swan, you know? Until the Black Swan. I haven't seen that movie, Justin. Is that what happens in Black Swan? No, the Black Swan of it. You know, I'm saying it's a, you gotta have a knife. Like, what do you do if you need a knife?
Starting point is 00:09:29 Like, I don't understand. Like, I have a knife screwdriver, you know, it's a small model tool. A small model tool, like, what are you doing? No, yeah, that's cool. I walk 15 feet to where my knife lives. I'm sitting here, I also need a screwdriver. What's the fork?
Starting point is 00:09:43 What? What if you had the park? If I had the park, why the fuck do I need a knife? Okay, I mean any number of like you bought a toy for like you bought a bank or like a dog. I bought a bank and I took it precisely promptly to the park. What the fuck are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:09:58 I'm talking about your kids at the park and just like, yeah, a park dog. For that little park. Yes, I did climb out of the fire. Travis, that's a, now Travis, perfect. Yeah, perfect. Correct. You take a little part. Yes, I did climb out of the fire. Travis, that's a, now Travis, that's a, is that in your pocket, Travis? Yeah. That's a big knife, man. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Travis, you like an E version of that's not a knife. That's not a multi tool. Like that is a, that is a one tool. That's a Coocre. Why do you have that? No, this is a corrom. This is a corrom. Do you have this in your pocket at all times?
Starting point is 00:10:26 Not at all times, but every day. I went to it. I guys have to tell you about that. I have to tell you about that. We need to start the show though. So whenever you're done, we're sorry. This is okay, I will start the show soon. I went to go watch the Marshall game, right?
Starting point is 00:10:39 Yeah, you're a real football head. Yeah, I love football. And I went to go watch the Marshall game and I had my like I'm one of those little like shoulder at will you call it? Trave like a it's like a tiny backpack You know what I mean like a sling bag kind of yeah And I had it over my shoulder and I loaded it up with all the things all my essentials that I need for the for the game All my different essentials. Yeah, and I get there and they look in the bag and they're like looks good
Starting point is 00:11:03 Go ahead in and by the way, there's like a 30 minute wait to get in and through the line. And I get through. And at the, when I go through the gate, they're like, Hey, you can't, you can't bring it back this big into the game. Yeah. It has to be you can have another football in there that you throw on the field to confuse all the players. A half sheet of paper or smaller like to get to carry the, yes, think about a fold in half sheet of paper. That is their metric, which is wild. By the way, nobody thinks that that's a wild weight measure stuff. Wild what a frame it.
Starting point is 00:11:34 So they're like, you can't read it. Like, okay, so I can't read in the back. They're like, you have to take it to your car. Like, honestly, I had to part 20 minutes away. The game is already started. There's a 30 minute line. I'm just going to have to ditch this bag. It cost me 30 minute line. I'm just gonna have to ditch this bag. It cost me like 10 bucks.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I'm just gonna ditch this bag. So I empty out everything from the bag in my pockets and then I toss the bag in the garbage and they're like, okay, great, go ahead in. Well, now we've now, we've now entered a situation where they have rushed me into the game with my pockets full of two knives and weed. And that's
Starting point is 00:12:06 Mid-Ed, dude, this is they're crazy about this is good good. What are your pockets full of knives and weed go ahead and sir As long as you don't have a bag to contain them. Well, it's fine. Choose. I gotta why too. I gotta ask Fucking L. Choppo why you were smuggling two knives and we into a football game. One is my pocket knife and one is my bag knife. Like I can't believe this is how I find out you guys are knife guys. Like Travis, it doesn't surprise me. It's not a knife guys, just like just being a red belt. You've heard of wife guy.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Now we bring you. Knife guy. I wouldn't be here without my knife Oh, I'm so proud of my curvy knife. I love my big curvy knife If I bring two baseballs somewhere and Someone's like hey look. It's the baseball guy. I can't be like I'm not a baseball guy I just carry two full baseballs with me I'm now just pulling all the knives out of my desk
Starting point is 00:13:09 Travis has sent another picture of a bigger more virile life in his first night. I've got Seven eight Just as knife was at least kind of cute These are big powerful knives traps. This one is weathering away. How many knives can you reach right now? How many knives can I reach right now? 12. Okay, I do not have a knife.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I do have a amateur otoscope for ear cleaning. Okay, so I have a lot of pick here. We have a quick, I got 13 here. Just 13 knives within. I'm sorry, Travis, I need a picture of your 13. These are all damn knives. Here's the difference. I want to make something clear.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I am not, I do not have a knife for defense. There is literally no reality in which I would ever use a knife to defend myself. I know the statistics. Take it all. This fucking military grade metal Damascus blade Travis has just sent is definitely for I use every yard work. I use every yard work. That seems like a nice to use that trap. There's so many blades in here man
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah, oh Different shape hasn't come through for me. That's too many knives, but so many knives. I made a one two at least three of the one sitting here. Yeah, I'm just saying Griff, you should have a knife for this. Yeah, hey, Traff, can I borrow one of your third team? Oh, I need, I need all of these. It's just 13 in arms. These are just 13 in arms. These are 13 in arms.
Starting point is 00:14:38 The specialized knives. I'll send you a picture specifically of the three I made. I hope there's an equal number of people that are driven away and attracted by knife. I hope there's a zero sum discussion of knives because I remember how heavily the knife, the knife figured into a worst idea of all time for a while. Tim's constant.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Constantly. Constantly companion. Until the airport. The main airport took it away. All right, we've spent 14 minutes on this and time. We have a way. I do have a follow up question. Yeah, we've all moved a few times over the last decade or so.
Starting point is 00:15:19 And Marie condo came and she did her best. Yeah. But I do you guys still have a sword in your home? Yeah, I'm looking at my one right now. I got a one, two, three. Travis in this room. That's three, two, many. Travis, the arm, I have accessibility of bladed tools you have is unacceptable.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I keep there's also a lightsaber and a bow. Okay, a lightsaber, that's not anything. And a walking suit. That's enough. Listen, listen, this is an advice show. And today some kids in my apartment complex, knocked on my door and asked if I had any snacks. I'm a firm believer that kids should eat when they're hungry,
Starting point is 00:16:03 but I don't keep many snacks in my house as I'm a broke college student. I gave them a sleeve of salty and crackers. Can they agree with what else they did? Didn't we already... No, we started this question. And then it got a bunch. It got girl munch and corrupted.
Starting point is 00:16:16 And so... Oh, you're right. This is a make good. It's a make good. Or a make bad, usually we would do. We do. A few hours later They came back and asked if I had any more of quote any more of those crackers brothers
Starting point is 00:16:30 What have I got myself into and how do I move forward? Gmail here's what I love you can't do what I love about this. Yeah, please can I tell you boys what I love about this? Yeah, Traff here 2023. Oh my god We got a store and you look at it came in for kids, everything's flavored blasted and yeah, sour pun. It's gonna all put you right up. I love the idea of a child eating a simple saltine. A simple saltine. 23. 23. Right. They're probably just needed a break. This really brought me back to center. This salty did made me appreciate the simple flavor of salt. I love it. Hey, more of this.
Starting point is 00:17:06 This generation has been ravaged by hot Cheetos and Takis. Yes, that's true. It's hard to taste anything now because of this, a simple saltine, nothing on it. Don't dress it up, don't put. I see people put cream cheese, chives, locks on it. Nope, just a simple salty in place for me.
Starting point is 00:17:26 A simple salty. They're really good. Maybe warmed by the sun. Nature's microwave. Yeah, some sun-dried saltines would be choice. You, I don't think. Man, I don't know, man, you're just giving them some saltines. I guess you'd have to be a pretty uptight parent. I don't think I'd love it. I feel like I don't know, man, you just giving them some saltines. I, I guess you'd have to be a pretty uptight parent.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I don't think I'd love it. I feel like I don't really want anybody sort of feeding the kids, but maybe these kids needed some food. You had saltines. I'm really torn about this. I don't know. I mean, just that. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Let me, can we play this scenario out? Cause I don't cure this, right? Sure. I'm trying to Cooper. They've been running around the neighborhood, getting into shenanigans and hijinks or whatever. They knock on a random neighbor's door, which already I think shows some, uh, some, uh, not great choices. Yeah, bad choice.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Saying, hey, can I have some food? Uh, these are the slow teens. You come, they come back home. I'm like, uh, Pa Pa, uh, a neighbor has gifted us with this wonderful, crunchy salty deliciousness. Do we have any of these? Where can we get them from? How do you react to this? Say, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I've never seen those before in my life. Yeah, I don't keep saltines in the house, man. We're a strict little extra cracker and shiver here. Um, now I did assume that maybe you would focus more on the neighbor gave us saltines, like give us food, part of that reaction unless about the saltine time. That's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:18:47 You would just say you didn't like it. Yeah, but it is beautiful. There's lots of beautiful things I don't like, like art. I mean, I dance. Yes, don't care for it. Opera, who has the time? Opera. Symphony.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Oh God. So most artistic endeavors. Do you guys know how much I wish I was the sort of person that was like, oh tonight, I'll be sitting through a whole orchestra show, like a whole, in a gala. Oh tonight, I think I'll be taking in, there's a Tchaikovsky, a humble,
Starting point is 00:19:23 at the Metro, Metro that I would very much have our great things about and I'll be taking it in that show and it will be very edifying at the end of it I'll feel like good or you know, I mean Yeah, yeah, I'll have a human emotions something some sort of like thing that I'll feel as a result of it I'm I mean I got to do this just to stay like present here in, you know, art city, which is what we call DC. Always people are doing music with big groups of people and stuff. And I'm like, I basically live at the Kennedy Center. The Ted Kennedy Center.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah. I mean, we also have a Kennedy Center. they did this, the YMCA pool. So I was kidding. Oh, yeah. You have to, no, the 10 Kennedy Center honors was great. This year I did get it invite. It was invite only they recognized cherry popping daddy's. Yeah, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:20:22 See, for me, fight for fighting. Yeah. Cranky anchors. Cranky anchors was there. They got a koozy of freedom. Yeah. And the award, very sought after. Presented by Jamie Kennedy, it was amazing. It is huge. Now, see, I, I, for me, the Kennedy Center is what I call the bedroom. I don't want to do that.
Starting point is 00:20:51 You should give the children food. If the children come to your door and ask for the crackers, that's not ideal, but you should give them, you should probably give them crackers because that's a good way to live, I think. Yeah. Yeah. And listen, it's saltines.
Starting point is 00:21:09 It's not like they're asking you for more beluga caviar. That's true, man. But don't give them. You give them alsa cookie. And then if you give them alsa cookie, beluga caviar, that does seem, you know what?
Starting point is 00:21:20 For the first time I've thought of maybe how give them alsa cookie. It's a little bit about, let's say conservative politics. And this, I don't think so. You don't think the idea of like, oh, give him something and they'll never wear, they want more. Capitalism, baby. Make them out, earn a cookie.
Starting point is 00:21:39 That's very challenging. Did you guys know that Beluga caviar does not come from a baby Beluga in the deep blue sea. It comes from a Beluga sturgeon. Huh? It's interesting, huh? But then again, that's fucked up. Then again, whales don't lay a million little eggs
Starting point is 00:21:58 so that actually tracks. Oh, good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now it's right. Baby Beluga cav We'll probably be Pretty upsetting I think to see and consume and even really think about hey can I approach the wizard? Wales or mammals what? Justin for that. Wow. What a brave position Justin's taking
Starting point is 00:22:19 Dr. Justin was curious about the egg thing and they I wanted to save our big quick little whales arm mammals Okay, cool kick ass. Hey, Valentine's Day is coming up.

It's straight to Vio or no, it's a game Game I wish I had the courage to make another movie or... No, it's a game. Game. I wish it would have had the courage to make another movie. Fuckin' it.
Starting point is 00:23:28 It was a good flex. It was really good. So, the ideal story is romantic or cute and just short enough to make it perfect for bedtime. It should also make her feel so good away. Yeah, that is wild. To get you started, we've listed a handful of sweet stories you can tell as well as a few well-known books or plays
Starting point is 00:23:44 that you can use for inspiration. So this is just a romantic story that you tell your girlfriend. Okay, I don't know why, but this is really giving me those, like, and this services on my for you page a lot of like the morality, like tales of like this guy was really shitty
Starting point is 00:24:00 to this guy in the restaurant and turns out he's actually really rich and just bought the whole restaurant and immediately that he gets his come up and and gets fired. Meanwhile, this person who is nice to him, even though he's only ordering water, gets a promotion to be CEO. Yeah. My wife likes a can of fairy tales told.

Hey, like or love, let your girlfriend know how much you care about her with this quick story please let me get through the stories without interrupting and making the jokes that you go okay okay once a girl asked her boyfriend if you liked how she looked to her surprise he said no she asked if you liked her personality and again he said no finally she asked do you even like me? He replied, I don't like you. I should begin to cry. He pulled her into a hug and said, I don't like you. I love you. I love the way you look. I love your personality. And I'll love you the rest of my life.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Play up the tension in the story by describing the girlfriend's reaction. Flesh it out with more details like the girl started to walk away into the rain. Would he rush out to her? So, so this romantic story is about an emotionally manipulative boyfriend? This is, I guess, I guess, yes, this is what that is. It's a risky gambit. It's a risky gambit. I am too. If I understand the conceit of this question tonight, as my wife and I, we put on our long caps, right?
Starting point is 00:25:25 Our sucking caps and our long night counts. We put out the candle and I say, honey, once, there was this girlfriend and she asked her boyfriend and then at the end of this story, my wife is then going to react in such way which she's like, I've never loved you more. I like this. I like this. I love this.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I love what you tell me. But there's also the chance that she'll be facelessly. Oh, that's a good point. I love all the dream land by this enchanting tale. This is a risky gambit because it could go, you say, I don't like how you look and I don't like your personality. Do you even like me?
Starting point is 00:26:02 I don't like you. I don't like you. I, sudden, you. I, what? Sudden. Try that hard to say. Choking death. Some sort of sudden death.
Starting point is 00:26:10 And then that, she takes that to the grave. Yeah. Gotta be careful with this stuff. You also, this is a story where you have to remember the end when you start it. Because if you get to like, and he's like, I don't like you. Um, and then a shit, what was it?
Starting point is 00:26:25 What was it? Oh man, never mind. Anyway, good night, sweetie. Do this one to show her you'll love her forever. A woman was surprised when her husband handed her a bouquet of a dozen roses. She quickly noticed that 11 of them were real and fragrant while one lone flower was artificial.
Starting point is 00:26:39 She asked her husband, why did you give me one artificial rose? He replied, I'll love you until all the flowers in your bouquet die. You can see that I'll never stop loving you. Change the flowers from roses to your girlfriend's favorite flower in order to personalize this story. And surprise your girlfriend with a bouquet of flowers
Starting point is 00:26:54 after you finish telling her this tale. She'll be impressed that you plan such a thoughtful surprise. Yeah, if you do that without including one artificial flower in the set, that's a terrible message you've just sent. Unlike the person in the story, I will not love you until all the flowers in your bouquet die. In fact, these are accursed petunias. And when the last one dies, I'm going to leave you Samantha. And the poor will close. The poor will close. Here in the West Wing, you'll find a flower under glass
Starting point is 00:27:25 And if I don't find my true love by the time the last petal falls off the rose I and all of my servants who have been turned into physical objects will die. Yeah, where are you going? Oh come back not again. It's been so weird about that crusty-ass flower from the beginning She never would have fucked with this. No way. No way. Oh, that's boring. He's got a flower under glass. Wow, how weird.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Everybody's got weird stuff in their house again. Yeah, pretty cool. Anyway, the fucking lamp is talking. Yeah. No one's gonna, she's not gonna notice some weird old flower in a jar. I just, fuck. I just imagine.
Starting point is 00:28:04 I just imagine if Travis was a cursed and then he had 13 talking knives Founcing around let us kill father Father please we crave blood no for carving and stuff. I don't think so father look at the length of my blade father Now we'll use you for weeds and shit. No Not me papa. I'm nasty give me you for weeds and shit. No, not me, Papa, I'm nasty. Give me to the jugular, Papa. It is worth noting that the physical objects do not turn sentient in the legend of the beauty of the beast.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Now, Justin, this is a good point. I disagree because there is silverware which has no face or voice. Okay, but at the end of the show, at the end of the show, Mrs. Potts doesn't just turn into a pot. At the end of the show, the home is moving ready.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Is what I was saying, there's nothing there. There's nothing. The first thing BD and B.C. are doing on Saturday morning is going to target. Like, we don't have trash cans. We don't have lamps. The place is black.
Starting point is 00:29:03 We're gonna bite to eat. We're, I've had Papa John's the place is black, we're gonna bite to eat. We're, I've had Papa John's three times, no, they're fine now. Yeah, they're fine now. So then who decided who had to be like fucking spoons and forks and plates and shit? And who got like a, oh, okay. God did, God decided. Based on how much sin they had.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Last one shit, there was a fucked up cup. One day a girl asked her boyfriend what he loved about her. She expected him to start listing random things that he liked about her personality, appearance, and so on. Instead, he said it was impossible to make a list. When she asked why, he said, because I don't love you for a reason. I love you for who you are without explanation.
Starting point is 00:29:39 But that doesn't mean shit. That doesn't mean anything. That doesn't mean stuff. I don't love you for a reason. I love you because of who you are. Okay, what about me? What about who I am? Just a general thing.
Starting point is 00:29:55 You could literally say anything. Like, I have a good sense of humor. Come on, bud. What a cop out. Something. I'm fine if you say it's because I'm rich. I am. I also love that about me. Tell this cute story if you want a flat out. Something. I'm fine if you say this because I'm rich. I am. I also love that about me. Tell this cute story if you want a flat of your girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:30:09 A couple was lying in bed one morning when the husband took his selfie with his wife. She'd just woken up and complained, why did you have to take a photo with me when I'm not ready? I'm a mess. He answered that he took the photo, so he'd always remember how naturally beautiful she was. Aw!
Starting point is 00:30:24 Oh, he's sick. I don't have to say was. Ah! Oh, you tricked. I don't understand. Everyone loves this. Once again, how do I bring this up? How does this come up in conversation? I guess just do it. This is less a story than it is a thing you could do that would be incredibly, just hugely gross.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Yeah, hugely, hugely. You don't have to do all that work for just me. Yeah, but you still took a picture of me while I was like, have a sleep. Like, just don't take a picture of the first. How about you ask before you take a picture? Yeah, right? How about no good?
Starting point is 00:30:58 No good. No good. Unconditional love. Once, there was a girl in boycelling once. there was a girl in boy and fell in, once. There was a girl. And a boy who fell in love, the girl came from a rich family while the boy had. Yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Their relationship thrived even though they struggled at times. Eventually the couple succeeded and could live comfortably. When someone asked them how he'd accomplished so much, he explained that the woman's love motivated him to work hard and achieve his goals. And having the money to back his like plans was pretty great too. Oh, that was how hold on.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Wait, now hold on. How were you able to build this business from scratch? Well, my wife inspired me and also financed my business. My small business. That was very helpful of being honest. I couldn't have done it without her support and bankroll. This organic business. I love her.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I love my incredibly rich wife unconditionally. Unconditionally. Except for the what this one can, I need this oil-based body spray business. And my wife is very much a vector for that. Um, man. Strong riff. The other one is a lot of these stories are kind of boring. One evening, a man came home with a huge bouquet of flowers for his wife. She was surprised. And so it wasn't a holiday her birthday or their anniversary. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Well, you're doing it bad. But when she asked what the occasion was her husband said every day with you Is a reason to celebrate so apparently not this is a story That you can tell your partner About a nice thing a fictional person did that you have not decided to replicate tonight This is a lie because and they're all lies, but if she's surprised Yeah, it means he's never done this before. And then he's like, every day's the day to celebrate.
Starting point is 00:32:50 And she's like, we've been married 16 years, but what the fuck? Why did you not do this before? I didn't want to celebrate those days. Submitted! I was still thinking about 9-11. And it really bothered me. I didn't feel like celebrating it. And I had a big breakthrough today with my therapist
Starting point is 00:33:04 about getting over 9.11 And I'm finally ready to fill out. So you're flowers. Hey, submit it for the approval of the midnight society. A guy was beating his parents. Girlfriends parents for the first time. Wait, did you say beating? Beating?

You want to encourage him to his dream

Starting point is 00:35:09 The next subject is called Outlander. Once a nurse from World War Two was mysteriously transported back in time to 18th century Scotland. She met a headstrong warrior and was compelled to marry him. As she got to know him better, they fell in love and had a passionate relationship. Their love was truly destined. Griffin. Yeah. Is the one story they suggest telling your girlfriend,
Starting point is 00:35:30 the plot of the time, the time traveler's wife. Once a girl fell in love with a man who appeared in his career throughout her life, he had a genetic disorder that caused him to time travel at different points within his life. Is that what you mean? I don't think that's what it is. It's not me right.
Starting point is 00:35:45 The story of Roundhog's day, one day a weatherman was being pretty shitty about stuff. It's recessive. My great grandpa had it, and I also have the genetic disposition to appear and disappear throughout your life. Despite these challenges. Honey, are we gonna have kids?
Starting point is 00:36:00 Oh, I don't know. The chance that we raise a time travel. And time travelers, husband. My great grandpa had it and has it and will have it. Despite these challenges, they fell in love and got married. Nothing could truly separate this couple who's destined to be together. Sounds like a exhausting movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Once this baby came from Krypton and landed on Earth and then these parents adopted him, which was pretty cool. And then he met this reporter and she died in a car accident where the car got sucked into the earth and he flew around the earth backwards and saved your life. Well, good night, honey. Good night. I love you.
Starting point is 00:36:35 All right, I'm happy. That's a bottom Superman. Enjoy your superman, too. Okay, so, okay, let me just roll it out for you. So basically, Dennis Quaid's like this pilot, right? But then he has to get shrunk down to go into somebody else's body. No, no, you're thinking of Randy Quaid.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Oh, Dennis Quaid. Is that okay? Let me start over. Yeah, he's not like, I mean, he's in a lot of Christian movies. Randy Quaid is actually a struck project right now, guys. There, once was a family, I'm not gonna tell you the name of this one, there once was a family with five daughters.
Starting point is 00:37:06 The parents hoped to marry them off to rich men. One day a wealthy man moved into the neighborhood, but the brightest daughter sparkled, sparked an instant dislike to him and the feeling was mutual. Many misunderstandings and declarations of love later, the two learned to appreciate each other and realize that their love was meant to be. This is a, this, oh, this one's a wiki, how a rich for sure. Oh yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, that one we call
Starting point is 00:37:27 a hubris and humility. Yes, exactly. You may get bonus points from your girlfriend if you try to tell the story with a British accent. Now that's great, because it's a good friend. For you may not get bonus points. So your time, if I launch into the plot of Pride and Prejudice in a British accent,
Starting point is 00:37:46 assuming completely unpromptu, my girlfriend is like, wow, bonus points. Yeah, bonus points. Are you passing it off as your own tail? No, this is Pride and Prejudice. I know, but how are're trying to sell it like, this is something I just came up with, who he told me what you think about. Hey, babe, here's something just straight off the dome. You ready? It is a truth universally acknowledged as a single man, especially how the good fortune must be. What a boy. I mean,
Starting point is 00:38:19 the bedrooms over there. The bedrooms right there. Hey, babe, you up. I said an incredible thought of a beautiful giant boat that is doomed and the love that will live on forever inside the dude boat. If you are you up? It's going to be about two hours and 45 minutes. Start to finish or maybe I'd tell you, you please use the head now. Yeah, but because I don't want to have to stop. And spoiler alert, Billy Zanzana.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Second half is mainly me doing sound effects. Yeah, I do have to worry you. Once a old man visited a old woman in order to tell her a story about a young couple that was in love. He recounts the decades that they loved struggled and connected with each other. Every day the old woman would forget who the old man was and the end she realized for a brief moment that they're the couple in the story and that he still loves her. 51st dates. 51st dates.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Snow White, he's a poison apple and falls into a sleeping death. What? What? Now it's time to put on my bed. Good night, babe. Good night, babe. You get some butterfly kisses. And then Romeo and Juliet.
Starting point is 00:39:25 So that's some tips for you to spark things up in the bedroom. Nicholas spark things up in the bedroom by just explaining the plot of the notebook, please, to me now. We're doing the one with the case. Yeah. Let's die next to each other. Do the one where Kobe Smolders is a ghost. Okay, so there's this Kobe Smolders is in it.
Starting point is 00:39:42 And I think she's a ghost, and but she's the ghost of the husband. And she's like, go for it. And she loves that he's like sleeping with someone else. She loves to watch and be, and she takes, she gets in the lamp and she flickers the lights and Morse code and says, I love this. And it's good to smolders from how I met your mother and Marvel. So anyway, then, Hawn, no, he's alive at this point
Starting point is 00:40:04 because it's in a different point in the chronology. Honey, wake. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, not yet. Stay with me. This isn't for my benefit. And then I think they're not for Han. I think they both turn into birds. It's been a while since I've seen them, the movie. Um, maybe now could you tell me about avatar? I still haven't seen it. Can you explain I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I I feel like out of principle will never see I Think that one you know me right. Did you see way of water? No, no, I didn't see the first one That was why you'll think I also have not seen Avatar But what you're suggesting Justin is that Griffin and I having not seen Avatar would see the previews for way of water And be like well, yeah, me. I can't miss that one. I can't I wouldn wouldn't blame you. Honestly, you're not, you'll be fine. Hey, look over there, guys, it's the money zone.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Let's go to it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:41:27 Okay, did you know only 22% of Americans speak a language other than English at home? No, I don't know why I would know that yeah It would be wild if that was just like a fact you had Ready pull off the dome, but now you know that and this fall you can start speaking a new language with Babel Why Babel? Because it works and they paid us to tell you it does. So instead of paying hundreds of dollars, no but weird, that's a weird tack to take your traffic.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Well, I just want to why Babel? Because no one else is telling is paying us to tell you about them. You know what I mean? That's the honest truth. The other honest truth is I use Babel, brush it up on my Spanish, which I've learned for six years and then sadly forgot. And it really is very good. And it's the only language app I feel like I've stuck with in it in any kind of way. In my home, especially in my children, I've established myself as a goofy doofus or a goofy if you will. And occasionally, when I actually do know something
Starting point is 00:42:25 and I'm not making a joke, like I also studied Spanish for many years in high school. And like one of my daughters will ask like how to say something in Spanish and I'll tell them and they're like, that's not it, silly down there. And I'm like, what? Oh, but Babel is truth and you can't trust it

Starting point is 00:43:28 They felt they were really nagging at me to hook them up with some more because it's delicious and it is real actual food. It doesn't sting. You could eat it. You could eat it. You may have probably don't want to, but like you can. And here's what's cool. They just kicked off a partnership with the Humane Society,

How about you Garfield cleaned up like half of that? Yeah, absolutely. Hey Griffin, Garfield's not staying with the Humane Society. He lives with John. That's what you think, John died, man.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Oh no! Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and there was no one there that they cared. Garry, he ended up at a shelter? Well, they didn't know he died. Small. Oh, at Garfield, they ate his face off, huh?
Starting point is 00:44:18 No. Packed an Abu Dhabi. Garfield had a great time. Wait, you're saying, hold on, you're saying, John died and Garfield's ship is free., you're saying, hold on, you're saying John Dine and Garfield afraid of like being incriminated. Shipped John's corpse to Abu Dhabi. It was a prank that Garfield was doing. He'd found so much success with normal. You guys want the money for this advertisement? No, no, no, let's get finished explaining.
Starting point is 00:44:41 So John was alive. They're still going to pay it for us. Yeah, he was alive when they put him in the crate, but somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, he did pass away. Oh man. So if you want us to do it. How's that? Better cat food.

That's CO, OP, T-O-B-E-R. Happy Cooptober.
Starting point is 00:47:21 E-O-B-E-R. Happy co-optober. I regularly walk by a house that has a very large bell suspended in the front yard. I really want to ring the bell. It looks loud and it's very pretty, but it's not near the sidewalk. It's about 50 feet into their yard very close to the front of their house, which has a lot of windows and their lights are always on. My first day in the stint was to sneak up and ring it at night, remember when I could run away in the dark, but that seems like a rude time to ring a big bell. Correct. Good. Good
Starting point is 00:47:57 instinct. Yeah. Cases that. Follow that. Is this bell for everyone? What's the best way for me to experience this big bell? I don't know much how much longer I can resist. I would guess the bell's around 18 inches in diameter and hangs at about shoulder height. There is no fence or hedges around their yard. It's just a big lawn. Thank you, bell or high water in snow, Kwame, Washington. The Kwame beautiful beautiful. God's country. Oh, love it. I, I, I, now listen to this place there once called Salish.
Starting point is 00:48:31 It was where they filmed intro shot of Twin Peaks with the falls. Beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous, gorgeous, good people, good people. I think you can just walk up and hit the bell. Huh. That's not what I thought you were going to say. No, I do. I, here's what I think you can just walk up and hit the bell. Huh. That's not what I thought you were gonna say. No, I do. I, here's what I think. They put a bell up.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Yeah, that's a good point. They didn't put it in their own home. No. They put it way out there. That's somebody who is fine with you swinging by and ringing the bell. What are they gonna, like, imagine the conversation. If they don't approve the action, imagine the conversation to the pause.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Hey, did you bring my bell? Yeah. It's a big bell. It's a big bell. It's a big, outside bell. Like, what did you want to have? That's only for me to ring, like some kind of maniac.
Starting point is 00:49:18 And any, like, there's no, there's no legal grounds. You can walk right up there and ring it. No problem. Now, here's my concern. If you're new to the neighborhood, right? Maybe this bell has a specific purpose. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:34 This happened once I don't know how I got this in my hand. I went to Trader Joe's. I was fairly new to go on Trader Joe's. They had that bell there, and for some reason, I connected it to something else I had seen somewhere else and thought, ringing this bell's a way to let everyone know I just had some great customer service at this station. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:49:51 And I rang that bell, I rang that bell. And they were like, oh no, no, that's a bell to say, we need help, like we need assistance for something. I was like, oh no. Travis, that is one of, is that a true story? Cause it's a true story. It's one of the most wilds in church. I know.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I've heard you recount a lot of. It's one of the most wilds in the challenge. I know. I've heard you recount a lot of rough, rough tales that is among the rougher. Listen, impulse control could be a real bitch. So this is the problem with walk around for four knives is you stop fearing God, society means nothing. I know, it's a waste of fucking belly what? This is my bell back off.
Starting point is 00:50:19 I know, I threw my knife across the room to ring the bell. It was amazing, everybody loved it in clap because they were afraid. But my worries the room to ring the bell. It was amazing. Everybody loved it in clap because they were afraid. But my worries that you'd ring this bell. And much like if you just came up on a random bell, like on a mountain top and like a Dark Souls game, it will summon something where there will be like,
Starting point is 00:50:37 oh, there's an emergency. This is a, we use this to let everyone know there's like a fire in the neighborhood and we need to like a bucket brigade. And now you've created an embarrassing situation. Yeah, you don't want to open up big gate to since Fortress Allisnakes come out, they're going to hurt you and your family. So that's one thing to worry about. The other thing I think there's a good answer for this. I mean, answer is the opportunity you have to ring this big public bell
Starting point is 00:51:05 is when you get a text from the National Weather Service alerting you of anything. It could be, there's hail in a neighboring county, you are running to that bell, you ring it. What are you doing? Did you see the news? Now you have an excuse, you're a public servant, you're a town supplier, you're a John cryer,
Starting point is 00:51:26 you're doing an important work out there. Yeah, and let me also just a fun thing I've been doing in the last like three seconds is looking back over this question and replacing the word bell with trampoline. And it's real fun. It's real fun, talk about trampoline, it's about 50 feet in the yard, very close to the front of that hamster.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah, so what's the best way for me to experience this big trampoline? I could just go up and jump on the trampoline at night. The kid away. Is this trampoline for everyone? I don't even think they noticed the bell anymore. Right? Like, oh, somebody's having fun out there with our bell.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Like, I'm not gonna go out and investigate to what, to what end? Yeah. They're trapped. They're trapped. If I have a bell in my yard and I hear the bell ring, I gotta hide, because I don't wanna go make eye contact with that person,
Starting point is 00:52:14 because I'd be worried that they think I'm mad at them. Yeah. Maybe bring the bell, we'll turn all their lights off and nobody's done it for them. And their lights are just on all the time, because they're like, they forgot, like how do we turn the lights off? We've never really gonna figure out
Starting point is 00:52:27 you bring the bell lights go off. Ah boom, amazing. What if you bring the bell and like a old lady comes out and she's like, no one's running that better since my father died, it's so good to cure it again. Yeah. Thank you. Now here's your fortune.
Starting point is 00:52:42 I love you. Good night, honey. That's a good story too. That's it. That was a bell warm my cockles Once there was a bell and then I married an old lady and she financed my cryptos scheme 50 feet Into the yard Suggestes a big yard And my ass says there's no fencer hedges around the yard. It's just a big one a big lawn. So I think if you ring it You could say you thought it was a Bell museum
Starting point is 00:53:10 Or something along along those I thought this was the famous I thought this was Liberty Bell Yeah, can you get one of your friends to dress up like a British soldier? Ooh, and then when the neighbor comes out like, how dare you, you point at your friend like, look, it's on, again. Yeah. We're doing it again. It's sealed around the other side.
Starting point is 00:53:34 They're coming at us from the other direction. They're coming at us from the other side. They're coming at us to Washington. Very clever. Yeah. They got confused about which Washington it was. Let's get them. Can you and me house owner, let's kill this.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Let's kill this guys. Here's a bayonet, I brought an extra one. Can you, and I'm just spitballing here. This may not be anything. But can you put a big bell in your yard and then invite them over to read your big bell? And say like I just figured we could have like a like a shell off. No, well, no, it's not a competition. We're not. It's not Christmas with the cranks over here. It's you come ring my big bell
Starting point is 00:54:19 and maybe sometimes I'll come over and ring. Now forget it. This is. No, no, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, don't give a on, but don't give a bunny, yeah. There's a way, there is some social engineering we could do here. What if you show up and blew over all so the big fake mustache, can you say? Oh hi, man, I just wanted to, real quick, I'm doing some bell repair in the neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yes, we just need to do a quick inspection of your bell, just to test, make sure it's safe. And that's good. Very safe. What if you set up next to it? 11 bells in descending size from the big bell. You get in there and you're gonna play Carol of the bells.
Starting point is 00:54:51 And like, no one's gonna be fucking mad about that, right? That's an awesome song. Oh, and what's that? It's your friend dressed like a red coat shredding on electric guitar along with it. Incredible, it's Christmas of a time. Lay your bike down in the yard next to the bell. Ring the bell, ring the bell, lay down.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Don't move. Don't move the fucking muscle. What happened? Did I ring your bell? Yeah, I guess I must have done it with my head. Yeah, who puts a bell here? Who puts a bell in the middle of a big, open, awesome yard for BMX biking?
Starting point is 00:55:24 Yeah. I don't know, but let me call my engine. Let's bring insurance into this. Oh, you don't want me to? Then I need a permission slip to ring this bell whenever I want to please. Yeah, in fact, I'm gonna take the bell. I'm gonna take just the clapper. Just the clapper. So I'm the only one who can use it. Thank you so much for listening to our podcast. You're welcome. We hope you're not you. You barely listen.

So whether you are attending New York Comic Con or not, you can still buy tickets to come see the show.
Starting point is 00:56:35 And if you have a badge and a ticket, then you can attend either show and receive a free show, boaster as well as the option for a priority seating at the show if you choose to routine that. And there will be tickets available to watch a video on demand of the show online. Get all that information and tickets and whatnot at bit.ly such microwave tours. Man, that's super helpful. The dark web does. Yeah, it's a really nice place. It's really I love being there.
