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.
Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening.
What's up, you cool baby?
What, Derek, three?
It's the start of something beautiful
A small quaintance has blossomed
It's rapid into a precious fraction
I could have 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 with you
This is you
It's better, it's better with you
My life, it's better with two. I like, I like, I like, it's better with you.
Hello everybody and welcome to my brother and my brother in mean advice show for the modern era.
I'm your oldest brother Justin McRoy.
Oh, I'm your middle-aged brother Travis McRoy without Travis Nation.
Sorry, I was just enjoying a drink of this strawberry banana banana testicle festival
shake.
These things are delicious.
If you haven't gotten your thing, I'm not a paid spokesperson at all
travel nation.
You know that.
I'm just a big fan of these strawberry bananas.
Strawberry banana bananas the testicle festival shakes.
They make me feel my balls are huge.
Thank you all so much.

Five percent too much and I am a scary mummy
Hi you spooky guy welcome welcome to show everybody
Tis the season to
Talk about the the new costumes for ourselves and I thought we could all just kind of pick them out together
Yeah, you thinking you'd go with a news peg of this time or sort of a reverent, um, well, here's the thing, Griff. Yeah. The, uh, much needed, uh, and hopefully soon ending, uh, strike, uh, by the SAG group that we
have been a part of has complicated some of the discussion of the timely new costume.
Yes.
Well, luckily, luckily, Justin,
we've got Spirit Halloween,
at least here at the US, Spirit Halloween
for all of your non-trademark costume.
Okay, real quick, just a quick check in with everybody.
Where's the Spirit this year?
In the region, Trav, where's the Spirit this year?
Oh, it's in the abandoned urban urban air playground.
That used to be like a trampoline park.
Well, you know, it's so wild, Trab, no shit.
My spirit Halloween's in, in what do they call it?
Trampoline. What was the word?
Oh, that's a great name.
Extreme air, extreme air, the, the, the, the Toys Russ trampoline park.
Yeah.
Spirit Halloween now.
Uh, COVID, COVID was rough on trampoline park.
And DC Gryffinds, he's in Kevin McCarthy's abandoned office.
Oh, whoa.
Travis Papa.
Yeah.
Travis took mine.
I was going to do a DC joke, but Travis took mine. No, now you do your easier.
I get as good as that though,
because that was fucking good.
No, his was better.
I was gonna say,
mine was in the Smithsonian Museum of Horror,
which is the scariest of the Smithsonian.
Do you know, they just have a castle in the middle
of the city for no GD reason?
I think I'm gonna be, I can't be a minions, can I?
No, you can be yellow thumb man.
Yes, I see a, I see fart pill.
Yellow fart man.
Yellow fart man pill.
Yellow fart man pill.
Yellow fart man pill could be him.
Mm.
And it says he are evil stepfather.
I think that's supposed to be grew.
I'm not gonna say that.
It's not a good description that they went for there.
I do like it.
The very front of the website says shop Wednesday,
but it's Thursday and I just simply cannot wait six days.
No, do they have on their quiet fish lady?
Because ever since my daughter saw that movie,
they wanted to be quiet fish lady for Halloween.
Now, I'm so sorry.
Do you mean shape of water?
No, quite fish lady.
She has the red hair and her down,
his anger, he's got big four.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, okay.
You can understand my confusion though,
that that actually can't be.
Because I previously by saying my daughters
after seeing the movie wanted to be it.
So you thought, what movie could Travis have shown his daughters that then they'd want to be?
I know.
Wake up.
They're doing a seventh anniversary show like,
that's right.
We got to get there, guys.
Yeah.
We got to drive six hours to the nearest showing.
Shhh.
Wake up.
Don't tell you what.
Come on.
It's a single long version.
Do not do non-parents know about the sing along thing.
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
When they do a movie that your kids love
and have already watched a thousand times,
they will re-release it like a month later.
And they just have like a follow the balancing ball thing
at the end of the songs.
And your kids are encouraged just to absolutely go bananas.
The best part of that, the thing I love about that
is that the preconception of that
is that until then, my kids had not been singing along to
the music they'd heard a thousand times because there were no words to be read on screen. Travis, no man,
the permission is for the adults, you know, the words on screen give them permission to play.
Yeah. Give me permission. I'm an adult. I don't need permission. Yeah, but I pay the bills under my
roof. It's the social, it's the social queue.
It says, this is okay, this is permitted, this is what we want you to do.
Social queues.
I'm thinking about the...
I always forget about those.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm looking at the website and it looks like spirit Halloween is offering a costume that is
a big pig, like a tall pig.
A pretty tall pig.
It's pretty huge pig. Tell me about the girth.
Why does it is tall?
Just like a huge, like seven foot tall.
And seven foot wide.
And it's wearing a Laker jersey and it says Shaquilleau squeal.
I don't think that people are gonna get that
if you wear that to a party.
If it says oh, squeal on the back, I could see that coming across.
That, wait, no, it doesn't have anything on the back.
This is bullshit, spirit Halloween.
Yeah.
There's balloon boy.
There's two different balloon boys.
There's one with balloons.
Balloon boy with balloon.
And then there's one if balloon boy had gone bad.
Oh, yeah, that one's sort of a Reverend South Park.
One.
Do they have a skinny chocolate song man on there?
Skinny chocolate.
Oh, you're still doing the movies joke.
We went back to that film.
Oh, is that from a movie?
I'm sorry, I've only read the novel.
Climb.
Climb.
That's why he changed the title and it's like a...
God, I can't remember. I can't wait to talk about
skinny man. They have a big section on here for JoJo Siwa outfits, which if you don't know,
the JoJo Siwa outfits they have are like the rainbow jackets and the denim and the huge bows
and everything. And I don't know if you've been paying attention, but JoJo Siwa has a vastly different vibe now than this icon. And I was thinking about it, wouldn't it be weird to go into
a spirit Halloween and one of the costumes available they had was eight-year-old Justin Macon?
Like, one of the costumes of your steas from a different time in your life. Like,
oh yeah, that was, he had highlights if you can believe that
So this is the one the Justin Wic has highlights. This is don't your old Justin. Here's a huge no fear t-shirt
Oh huge no fear t-shirt and here's the spoiler
There's a little card in there just as for character purposes. He had lots of fear
There was plenty of fear don't worry
It is also the Christian parody version of No Fear.
It is not a legitimate No Fear of Deer Verde.
It is like no pain, no crisis.
I thought the K and the W.
No woman, no cry.
No woman, no cry, no pain, no cry.
No crisis, no pain, I don't think is what it is.
I don't think it's this.
I think that was it.
Crisis just pain leaving the body.
I think it's what it was.
No. was it. Crisis just pain leaving the body. I think it's what it was. Stop it.
Stop it.
Cooper had to come up with a sentence for school
that used and and the sentence she came up with was,
I like pizza and God.
Together.
Just me and my best friend.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Christians. Teenage Mutant Ninja Christians.
Where's that movie? Please Kevin Sorbo. Get at me, Kevin. Kevin Sorbo. Get at me, Kevin.
All of your riches that I'm sure you're just sitting on. Kevin, I know you're sitting on
Rich's pal. So busy focus on the family. We're not focused on fun.
And you got to cut loose sometimes.
Yeah, right?
Here's the one I'm thinking live action.
You just made wine.
Yeah, live action.
Kevin plays every turtle.
Yeah, that's as far as I'm, that's as far as I'm about.
Turtle.
Kevin, so fast, every turtle.
I don't, if Kevin is a douchebag, turtle power.
You were talking about a movie that cannot be made
I mean the laws of nature is it so straight
right?
I cannot, we're not, shall not
yeah, must not, I would say must not
must not, there's only so many seals left on the apocalypse. We can't make we can't make Kevin sorbos
presents Kevin sorbos as all four new Kevin sorbos Christian turtles is the name of this film now
Why can't it get made juice you saw multiplicity they can have four versions of one dude
It can't be made it can't be made
Kevin's first of all, he's allergic to the glue
that he used to do the dot mapping on the face. So that's out.
Famously. You'd have to do everything.
Well, it would be, he would only have to do the mocap once. And then we'll just copy and paste
that teenage written Christian turtle four times.
And so anytime, yeah.
So, and we can paint different colors on them in post,
like give them different color headbands and shit.
Yeah, they-
This one tracks, actually.
They will all have guns in this version.
Oh, wow.
Which is just gonna make this multiplicity
eating of sorbo much easier.
I think when it's plural, it's sorbet.
Sorbet.
It's stupid.
It's stupid.
If you guys picked out costumes yet,
you guys are so tired of doing jokes, man.
Whoa.
Aren't you?
That sounded like Justin was being sincere,
like a sincere brother-to-tastic,
but just talking. You I mean like people do
Yeah, so Griffin we're like 10 minutes into the show, but I don't know why I don't know what to tell you man
I'm gonna go on the go that fucking intro dog
Okay, do you hear my shish kielo squeal joke god damn I need a fucking I need to go on a
Break after that come on you need some radical I need a sab, I need to go on a break after that. Come on, you need some radical.
I need some radical, that was hot shit.
Griffin is worried we have it now,
because normally this kind of energy would be building
to some sort of a bit or a twist or like.
Nah, man, I shot my wad on Shaquille O'Squeel.
I'm fucking to toast, dude.
Have we ever had a 12-minute episode before? What have we just said if we just said hey man listen we know it's
short but every second was goals how do you tell how do you tell Chicoel or Neil no you
just said his name no strange way school wheel those, how do you mean it?
How do you mean he can? Did you change the frog?
Boba hogs.
Did you change the first name?
I think I did.
The quil, what a weird way.
Shakyel, Shakyel, Lasqueal. He's a pig detective.
Yeah, I don't think we can. I think he's half big. Have porcupine. Yeah.
What if we did a funny joke where we were like this one is only 12 minutes long because we couldn't top it and it's
funny joke, but it has a bit. No, we have to do ads.
That's true.
Okay, let's do the ads.
No, let's do at least one question.
People need this.
People rely on this advice.
They don't tell us that ever.
Yeah, we're kind of a frontline worker when you think about it.
Oh man.
Oh man, that's not accurate.
How come nobody banks pots out their windows at us?
Yeah.
Yeah, when we walk down the street, people should bang their pots out their windows at us. Yeah. I mean, when we walked out of the street, people should bang their pots out there windows at us.
They do that at me when I'm creeping around for their pies.
Yeah.
And you cough up a whole fish skeleton while you're
singing on the back fence.
I would be a very, if, okay.
You know Bobby's world.
Sure.
Bobby's world is the how he man Dell sort of like or what's another one?
My life with Louis. Was that it with Louis Anderson? Yeah, yeah, a little Louis that kind of
if that was going to be if someone was going to do that about my life, yeah, I think that's
the approach they would take that would be your kiddie. You know, I thought you meant
like a key cliff style. Yeah, you know, like Justin Justin,
no one should kind of that kind of no one should. No one should. That's how the that's how the
he's clip terrorized the neighborhood. So wait, he's close position. He was like
there is watch. No, he was terrorism. He was a terrorist. He's a terrorist. He's the
neighbor. And the song was explicitly saying, hey, don't do that.
He thought, no one should.
Terrorized the neighborhood.
I know fuck all about Heathcliff,
because I'm, I clearly am offensive,
because of Garfield, like I'm offended by Heathcliff.
All I know is he's got a lot of friends,
which says a lot about how much confidence
they had in the Heathcliff character.
That they had to the Heathcliff character
that they had to flood the show with other storylines.
Garfield doesn't need that.
I wish I had been there with the studio because that kid was like, what is it?
He's just a big cat.
Well, you can do that.
Hey guys, hey, everybody likes Garfield.
Let's do a Garfield.
Let's do a Garfield.
Let's do a Garfield. Call up Jim a Garfield. Let's do a Garfield.
Call up Jim.
Let's do a Garfield for ourselves.
There's plenty of money to go around.
It's like Gallagher too.
I think it's really cool that we were like, oh man,
we used up so many funny jazz things.
Please.
I know what we'll do.
We'll just hit some stuff that's not funny at all the recent.
We're like, if I'm it, all right, question.
There's some good ones here.
That was the chill out tent.
And now that, let's just, we're empire.
We have some orange slices and let's let we're empathize on one slice
Let's get into it. Let's go. I have a lot of co-workers with infants and small children
They're always showing me pictures and telling me funny stories, which is cool
But here's the issue. I know nothing about babies. I don't have or want kids in order. I've any friends or family with small children
So my experience with those little critters that
extremely limited, I'm tired of responding to kid talk with something generic like how cute,
or that's so funny, is child havers yourselves. You must know what are some good ways to
compliment babies. That's from befuddled by babies in Boston. Why am I goaches is like a reaction of like,
oh my god, like that childish circuit.
It causes me physical pain.
Yeah, that's huge.
Oh, oh man.
Oh god, that kids so cute, right?
It's like, oh, it hurts.
Go on ambulance.
But not for me.
A lot of parents like it when you talk about
how thick their baby is. And, like this is like they're thriving
That baby's doing the one thing that it is. Yeah, legally required to do look at that just hit them with a look at that
Stack-up pancakes. Oh, that's a good one. No don't try to know guys. Here's the thing. Don't try to vamp this.
Cause look, listen what Griffin just said. Look at that. That's that. Try say it again. Yeah.
Say it again. And imagine you just like pulled out the first picture of your newborn baby.
Look at that. Go ahead. Look at that stack of pancakes. Yum, yum.
You can't sound hungry is what I'm saying like you can't you just that is it like a deep sort of
genetic thing is you find something so cute that you're like I'm gonna that's a real thing
different absolutely correct your jamian they're science find it yeah don't okay
there's signs behind lots of things you can't just sit on here and be like everybody wants to eat
babies all the time no no it's not all the's only when they see it's a response to finding something so cute that you have to eat it
That's it. I'm gonna go a step further and say if you want to eat babies all the time
Even when you're not looking at a baby. That's actually that's not usually probably if you're sitting around at home
You like I just have to consume a baby
I'm like, I just have to consume a baby. How, how am I the bad guy?
How am I the bad guy?
Well, you introduce 24-7 baby cravings.
No.
I'm not the villain of this piece, guys.
I'm sorry.
It's just, what if you reacted to seeing the baby
like they were showing you videos
of their cool skateboard tricks?
Yeah.
And you were like, whoa, radical.
Yeah.
Well, fuck.
Yeah.
You nailed it.
Oh, you're so good, bro. Curse and cute good. Yeah, that's a good that's a good response.
Fuck yeah, that's a baby. The thing is got it. You got to remember that honestly,
they don't care what you say to this. What's nice is that you are the fact that you care
enough, right? To worry about what you're responding means you're already doing the right thing.
You're listening, you're engaging,
laughing appropriately, but that's all the person's looking for.
Honestly, they don't have a lot going on in their life right now,
probably because new babies absorb a lot of that stuff.
So just having an adult to talk to is a delight.
Trust me. No, it's expecting baby expertise.
In fact, people hate baby expertise. Yeah, don't you do that. You do no, it's expecting baby expertise. In fact, people hate baby
expertise. Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. Want to hear any baby expertise. There's
not a right thing to say though, but we get all agree. There's like a hundred million
wrong things. A hundred million wrong thing. Don't react bad. Don't say, don't react in
a negative way. And I think you'll be fine. Sorry. I need Justin to stop barreling the
camera because he's causing me like a great
He's giving a lot of gyms.
Are you getting a lot, are you getting these fucking gyms from juice?
It's just, I feel like that's the most natural.
Okay.
That's why I put you guys off to my right.
You guys are the griffin' off to it, yeah.
There's no way, I feel like Griffin and I,
the way we're looking at how on my screen,
we're talking at Justin and
guys are right.
You're right.
This is you.
Oh, no, this is you.
Okay.
And that this is my line. It's this club.
It's right here.
You're over here.
I can't see my hand.
You're over there to me.
But this is not
a miserable.
Most of our audience, I will say.
Top worst audio ever.
Here comes your next question.
Oh, whoa, wait, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, being possessed by a demon. Well, she gets to play both the cold, calculating demon and the pleading victim,
screaming for help, panicked, crawling, death scenes, etc.
It's a fairly demanding role with a good amount of emotional complexity.
My character, concerned on, on the other hand, is very flat.
I'm mostly yelled, no, and get away from her.
What are some ways I can add nuance to my character
without taking away too much of her spotlight?
That's from bad actress in the big apple.
You're not bad actress.
There's no such thing as bad actresses, only bad roles.
And that's what this is, but isn't necessary.
It's a necessary role.
Yeah.
I just wanna say, this is a thought I have often
where I'm like, you know when you watch someone
in a horror movie and like bad shades happening
and you're like,
why are they more concerned? Or like, why are they still in the house? Or like, how are they letting
this happen, right? And it's like, are you sure that your niece isn't possessed with the demon?
Are you 100%? 100%? 100%? Yeah. 100%? Yeah. yeah, I'm pretty sure I know Justin. I have it's not real. I have a lot of great characters
that in my house
There there's chatty who is like the cool version of me
Yeah, and that's when my hair is down like so Chad daddy is that we're chatting. Yeah. He's cool. And he doesn't have any rules. And that's cool.
If you even break his apparent, you're just summing up chatty.
He doesn't have to police anything. And you know, pads, each uncle, whatever.
Yeah. My character, Philip Panty Pants is the character for, he's a secret agent
who helps us do the scavenger hunts you guys who sent like video. Oh, yeah sure
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know about Philip Penny pants and his art enemy Carl stinkoms who guess what?
Also me also you know, great. Yeah, don't tell the girls. I'm gonna tell them when they're 18 that I'm both Philip Pantepans and
Crass stinkoms Justin did
Justin did the character of beetle juice in front of my son so many times
That my son has developed his own
Beetle juice personality called Justin got a chance to meet him last weekend, which I imagine was very exciting for him
So thrilling very satisfied his name is Jeffy butterson. He he
He was eminent by saying his name five times.
So sort of like Candyman rules.
Um, he, my favorite is he doesn't walk.
He parties.
Yeah, he parties.
Yeah.
He's a means of conveyance.
He does party.
His favorite colors disco.
This dude rules.
Yeah, every butterson is actually his favorite.
His favorite. Um, holidays are Easter and Hanukkah.
We just want to play music.
Yeah.
I love that butter's got an open mind.
I don't get to be, that's to say,
I don't get to be characters at this house.
That's why when I'm on this show, guys,
it's USA characters welcome,
because I got a fucking blast this off,
so I don't try to workshop any material in front of fucking Jeffy butterson
See this is my ass handed to me. I'm see now I'm
The other side of this right where my favorite thing cracks me up every fucking time
Dot will be like hey play bars with me, and I'm like okay man and shall shove a bar
We and she'll hand me a barbie and I'm like okay, hey, Skipper has it going. And then Doc goes, Skipper's asleep.
And I'm like, oh man.
Okay, so what do I do?
And she's like, just have your Barbie do stuff.
And I'm like, okay, and then I just realized,
Doc's just watching me play out.
That's, yeah, that's,
where are we?
And I'm like, wait a minute.
That's the thing.
You're modeling,
the one remember for a lifetime, Trap.
It's, that's quality time.
I have a character that I call a befuddled dad.
And not the best name.
I know, but it's normally just a bit of like,
I can't remember how to pronounce the names
of different characters.
Okay.
And that's how I landed on Smelza,
who is Smel, who is Elsa Smelly sister.
And Elsa has a sister who's normal.
Well, that's Bona.
That was normal. So, that's banana.
It was normal.
So basically, I've created like a Waluigi and a Wario, right?
Elsa and Anna who are smellsa and banana.
That's great.
And,
this is good.
That's good.
And,
she loves the idea.
And baby's like,
that's not their name.
And I'm like, I'm pretty sure it is.
And then it becomes a battle for which child
is enjoying it most compared to which child
is enjoying it the least.
And the answer is always, I'm enjoying it the most.
Right.
Smelly Elsa is very funny.
Do you think you could talk to a priest
who you could invite to the FaceTime chat?
Like mid possession.
Like, oh, I know what I can do
and like bring a priest into the chat.
Like, I'm saying some twizz.
Some twist.
Ooh, a priest puppet is good.
Some twist for concerned aunt
where she doesn't see it coming.
Like concern aunt gets possessed too.
Now everybody's possessed.
That's the spotlight ceiling.
That spotlight ceiling.
You ruin it for it.
You want to add on without changing
because right now it sounds like nine-year-old likes
the dynamic of romance.
A romance, that's cool.
And it gets like the package delivery at the beginning
and she really gets it off with the latest
living packages and they have like a romance.
That's cool.
Write that out, Juice.
Yeah, I love that out. Get me a treatment on that. That would be love for it. That's cool. Write that out, Juice. Yeah, I love that out.
Get me a treatment.
Give me a treatment on that.
That would be love for it.
That's it.
That was the thing.
What about, what about,
how's that good start with the magic?
You start to kind of side with the demon a little bit.
Like actually demons making a lot of good points.
Yeah, I think about it.
Okay.
Yeah, that would be, I'm not so glad.
Listen, I'm not saying, I'm just saying,
maybe we hear the demon out.
So much of acting.
I can't wait to hear the rest of this.
So much of acting is in the brain, is in the mind.
I would say a lot of the stuff we do
is human beings is in the brain.
No, no, no, but this is different, this is acting.
Oh, okay.
What's different about acting is that you don't have to do stuff
in the real world.
You can act in your mind.
Ask yourself, where did concerned aunt go to school?
And what was her third grade student?
Julie Arden for acting.
She went to Julie Arden for acting.
She's also thinking about concerned aunt.

If you like, if you like mid possession,
just pull out a peanut butter cliff bar
and take a bite, like, my favorite, and then put it down.
That's building the character.
That's the color, you know what I mean?
That she loves that.
She loves that kind of cliff bar.
Or like take out an Aspen and healer.
Just, you know, like, oh, that's a little tweaks, little tweaks.
Or maybe just stare off into the distance for a second
while you remember something that maybe happened
to you as a child regarding like,
oh, the day the swing broke, right?
And I broke my arm.
And you just remember it for a second.
Remember it, but don't say it or do anything
or the child gets so pissed off.
Think it, think about it.
That's what most of acting is.
Don't be it, dream it.
The other half is kissing.
It's weird that we have to do this.
Yeah.
In 50-50.
It's weird that every movie has a kiss in it.
Yes, and they do this.
They do this.
Why?
Why?

It always takes a little bit more breath to get through that sentence than you think it's
going to. But that's part of growing up. Yeah, it's learning. Learning.
I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington. I'm Elliot Kaylen. And together we are the
flop house, a long-running podcast on the maximum fun network where we watch a
bad movie and then talk about it. And because we're so long-running, maybe you haven't
given us a chance.
I get it, but you don't actually have to know anything
about previous episodes to enjoy this.
And I promise you that if you find our voices irritating,
we've growing, dearing over time.
Perhaps you listened to one of our old episodes
and decided that we were dumb and immature.
Well, we've been doing this a while now.
We have become smarter and more mature
and generally nicer to damn.
Well, we are only human, so no promises.

Would you guys like to do another question? I'd love that, Justin, please.
I am starting a new job and my first day falls on Halloween.
I was told there will be a Halloween party.
What costume should I wear in order to make the best first impression?
That's from Vexed Girl in the Valley. The party will be
Clagmire
Okay, PS the party will be immediately preceded by a mandatory office-wide sexual harassment awareness training if that helps that does not sound real
Not quite by dot I don't think that Clagmire is the best fit for that.
Oh.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
Here's the thing.
You could wait until after the seminar
to put the Quagmire costume on.
Get it, get it, get it, get it.
You could be Quagmire during this,
during the seminar and keep asking questions
and really learn a lot.
That'd be a changed quagmire.
I know.
That's it.
That'd be so.
I've learned a lot about consent.
Trans-sucks.
I can suck how good that is.
Don't do that.
That sucks.
It's not fair.
I can suck.
I just have to hit the ground running.
I can never do it again.
What a shitty character to be able to do that good.
That sucks, man.
You didn't think about the repercussions.
I know. Listen. Man, that. You didn't think about the repercussions. I know, listen.
Man, that sucks,
because it's definitely not the first time
you've done that before, because it's so,
the first time I've done it, I believe Travis,
when you have a voice,
sometimes it's just rattling around and then it comes out.
That's a good point.
How do you, the line you have to walk,
and I know I'm just laying out the parameters
of the question already there,
but to make it clear is you don't know how committed the rest of the office is.
Yeah.
To Halloween.
So you don't want to go all out and show up and you're the only one.
But you also don't want to like really head your bets and you go and everybody's all
out.
And don't I got to find a bag.
Don't agree.
Really?
I feel like in this day and age, the more common play is to go fucking all out.
Every single themed party I've been to in the last like three or four years, which, which
ain't a lot, have been adults trying to win the party by being the best looking one there
in the theme that has been provided.
So I would actually assume that if you don't bring
that high fucking Heidi Klum cheddar,
you are going to actually embarrass yourself.
What about Indiana Jones?
Okay, speak on that.
Indiana Jones, easy to get the pieces to.
Hat, right?
And recognizable.
I did that one, no joke in middle school I did that one, no joke.
In middle school I did that one.
And like an hours notice of Fedora
that we just happen to have around our house
for some reason and a jump rope.
Well, it does say for some reason.
There were at least four straight cis white man
in the house.
Like, statistically should have been
something in the house.
Yeah, and a jump rope I had cut in half.
Done. Next Halloween, please. Crush that one. That's a really good one. There was an in and a jump rope I had cut in half done.
Next Halloween, please. Crush that one.
That's a really good one.
You gotta be careful, though,
because if this is your first day,
you are going to be remembered.
Like, people are going to assume
that you love Indiana Jones.
Like, that will be the thing in their heads.
They remember first.
Like, that, oh, Indy, we caught,
he'll be a cool nickname though.
That's not saying it's like, that's not that bad.
Don't go dress like a calculator.
You're right.
But in yeah, Jones is cool.
Math's not cool.
Just Lance history is cool.
Lance Edo was a big deal.
Well, that's cool.
I saw someone dresses judge Lance Edo.
In what year?
I mean, like this was 10 years ago, which was still 20 years
still post Edo by a considerable margin, though. Um, can you dress is the boss? That's so good. pictures of your direct super oh I said And dressings and dress exactly like them exactly like them
Here's the power point. Yeah, it doesn't matter what cost you me wear on Halloween
But the second day of employment you wear the same costume and the third and the fourth. This isn't a costume baby
This is why am I always been the devil. I'm Billy Idol. This is me.
This is me, Billy Idol.
Which way to accounts payable?
I think we can all agree.
Don't be the Joker.
Don't be the Joker.
No way, dude.
Which one?
Any of them?
Don't be any Joker.
Oh man.
He's not a good employee.
I don't think anyone's ever worked with Joker
and been like, that was great.
Especially if you're the person who has to train the joke,
if you're assigned to train the Joker,
it's like, hey, could you show the Joker around?
I really, I didn't have to, I made a fish in the microwave.
Oh, God damn it.
Go oriented results driven Joker.
You know what I mean?
Like he's, he is.
But that is Joker.
He is all those things, but for crime.
Yeah, and not work.
But not crime.
This would be like, I'm the clown prince of results.
You know, like he'll go,
Okay.
That's, that kicks ass.
I'm just in the Batman movie where Joker is heavily featured.
It opens up with a bank heist
where he kills all of his coworkers.
Yes. And then next, let me guess, next time Joker wants you to a bank heist where he kills all of his co-workers. Yes. And then next, let me guess next time Joker wants you to a bank heist he's gonna call up
and be like, hey, tricky ricks. Are you in? And he'll be like, no, I heard what you did to
Shifty Steve. You fucking kill them in the bank which sucks. So no, I don't think I'm gonna do a heist with you Joker. Oh, I pro short-short-short-sided.
Please, though, I have-I'm unconventional, but I-I get results.
I pay health and dental.
We have-we have, uh, uh, plenty of mental health resources
to help you deal with all the terrible things we'll be doing.
I give nine months maternity leave and maternity leave.
What you do?
Yes!
Yes!
Okay, well, hold on.
Kinda coming around.
So you're saying there's like a 95% chance
you'll kill me at the end of the high.
But I would get nine months of maternity leave
and the two weeks paid time off
with 10 mental health days to be used throughout the year.
Tell me what you will about Batman's foes,
but they are job creators.
I mean, Batman is just there basically by himself.
Sometimes he has a butler who I can't imagine he's paying,
right, he's probably like.
Well, the none of the bad guys will exist
if Batman weren't there to get him all riled up.
So Batman's the job's creator.
Yeah, that's fair because how many of the Henshren would have signed up if they weren't like,
I want to hurt people that steal stuff so bad, but I do need the protection of a bigger thing.
I would also point out that on time of everything, Penguin does own an operating nightclub.
So like, I feel like they all do.
I don't think the Joker runs a legitimate business. and does own an operating nightclub. So like, I feel like they all do.
I don't think the Joker runs a legitimate business.
Like, I think Mr. Freeze has like a scientific research deal
and like, play face runs of dispensary.
Uh, yeah.
I don't think the Joker's like,
and this is my bakery.
Poison Ivy has a display.
Now that's not a mystery.
Damn it.
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Pleasant Ivy. There hasn't been a point. Now that's the only time I'm sorry. Damn it. Okay.
All right.
Okay.
I want a much squad.
I want to munch squad.

Profile in the latest and greatest in brand eating.
Hey, listen, this one's not funny.
I guess it's kind of funny.
Hey, what a preface.
Listen, this is not funny.
This is just an alert.
White castle has introduced new Asian inspired flavors.
I don't, we don't need to update every time a new flavor is that.
Yeah, but you do with these Griffin.
Here are white castles, three newest recipes.
First, a quote to lead us in from Jamie Richardson, vice president of white castle.
White castles in the business of creating,
any guesses?
White castle.
Tiny bird business.
So Travis is tiny burgers.
This is interesting.
Yes, Griffin.
I just thought they might be very literal.
Maybe the one or the.
We're not.
We're not.
Memorable moments around delicious food.
We all take it.
I'll take it.
And these Asian inspired recipes,
accomplished just that, said Jamie Richardson.
The ingredients are simple and accessible,
but we'll produce results that will have your family
asking them to be added to the snack and to meal rotation.
Mother, can we add white castle to the snack?
No, not the regular ones.
The Asian-inspired white castle mother,
added to the rotation, please.
First up, bon-me-sliders.
Okay.
The jalapeno cheese sliders take the headlines, but the supporting
cast including carrots, di Con radish, cucumber, and sriracha mayo. It's just as important.
Once you pickle the veggies, hold on a bus. Did white castle come to fuck? Let's go.
Wait, they maybe came to fuck today. Yes. That's pretty, pretty good white castle.
It sounds really good. It's like chicken sliders.
The chicken sliders on the foundation,
but the pork belly and pickle red onions
take a little preparation.
That juices work the squeeze with this recipe.
Jesus Christ.
A gross end.
You did not stick the landing in a big kitty pool full of pudding.
That was gross, but the sandwich sounds amazing.
What they got for you here?
Maritu ramen sliders. What?
Ramen sliders. This recipe, which uses classic cheese sliders as a base, features beef flavor
maritu ramen noodle soup, sliced green onions, hard boiled eggs, and sriracha, if desired,
join the party to make an unforgettable sandwich.
Okay. Listen, I'm a simple country lawyer. Yeah. How do you include soup in a book?
There. How does one physically include soup? They put it at the top of their list. That was a
mistake. I put this at the end because I got the suit. I wanted to build the trust.
Right. You know what I mean?
Those other two sandwiches, yeah.
They're ready.
They're ready for the big show.
That third one, a glop of soup.
How do you get the soup?
I have to imagine it's just the noodles.
Yes, that there's not a broth component to it.
There's just a gentleness.
They say the word soup.
Probably, it's just the noodles, but even that. still yeah, I maybe it's just a stoppy web, but it's worry me a bit because like
If you've ever made ramen for children, you know that there is an extremely limited
Window of edibility for ramen it once it has absorbed all of its its own juices and get started to deal
I don't know this this wouldn't be great,
but I did want to give you a heads up about it.
More on the other two though.
The other two white castles came to fuck for sure.
I'm up with that bomb meme.
Yeah, that bomb meme sounds real nice.
All these seven.
Give me seven of those.
Little ones.
Give me seven.
Hey guys, gentlemen, seven.
They're little two, so I can just...
I get pounded, 12 of those.
Jimmy Johns has got new boy math catering bundles.
Jesus Christ.
Oh,
oh,
Jimmy John's is launching a brand new addition to its menu,
the boy, math catering bundle.
The new bundle makes throwing a party so easy
that it absolutely, that it makes
absolutely no sense. The new bundle makes throwing a party so easy that it makes absolutely
no sense. That is the, that's not a thought. That's not a promotion based on a viral tick
tock trend with over 113 million views. So obviously we did sandwiches about it. Yeah.
Boy math essentially gives reasons to trends. You cannot do things.
Listen, I know it's 2023 and it doesn't feel like this, but you can sometimes
are not to not do with it. And it kicks ass when you do it that way.
Yeah. You got to put your glasses back on. Hey, what's up? What up, girl?
The boy mass catering bundle was created for the guys
that want to have their friends over,
but have only one pot and pan.
Right?
I hate that.
No, Travis, just instead of weird,
but that was clearly a joke.
No, guys, listen.
I think, I think AI is starting to get right.
Okay.
This is my theory.
Think about these sentences, okay?
The boy math catering bundle was created
for the guys that want to have their friends over
but have only one pot and pan.
For the guys that don't want to cook
because they don't want to do the dishes.
Now, but this is a cyber man who is doing this.
This is definitely a cyber man.
He's been converted.
Here's the thing I don't understand.
What that presupposes is that until now,
men who wanted to have their friends over,
but only have one pot and pan had no other options
of ways in which to feed their friends.
Right.
That there was no, how do I,
huh, if only there was a food I could order
and split between multiple people at the same time.
Can we continue the touring test please?
Yes, the boy mass catering button will be featured online
and on the Jimmy John's app.
It features both a small and large sizing option
and includes sandwiches mate, that's a,
boy that's a tough moment isn't it?
That's a tough moment.
You're having the boys over and you gotta really look at yourself
and say, self, am I gonna have enough boys for the large?
Because if not,
and are my boys large enough for the large?
Is it another factor?
I'm hungry, you dug, oh, I'm so hungry, dug.
That's a lie to me. I'm not a fan. No one another fact? I'm hungry, you dug. Oh, I'm so hungry. Dug. That's a lie to me.
A lot of facts.
No one of you is gonna judge you,
but if we get a large and you only have a big dug,
it doesn't matter.
If you get a large and your boys are there
and they're like, I'm stuffed and there's still so much left.
Did you think you have more boys?
And you have to.
Oh God.
Did you think maybe you have more boys than this?
Or did you think that us boys have more fortitude than this?
What were you thinking?
You know we're very dainty boys.
And that is available at Jimmy John.
Let's say with each bundle,
you can enjoy Jimmy John's giant cookies
or fudge chocolate brownies.
Now this one, this one.
And since this is such a smart deal,
it's for the girls too, because the money,
oh boy, because the money you save
from ordering a catering bundle means you just made money.
Hello girl math.
What the fuck, what the world did it?
Shit dog. Jimmy.
Jimmy.
Jimmy.
I know you're not like,
you don't pass the smell test necessarily, Jimmy,
but this is a, this is an unforced air, Mr. John.
Jimmy, wait until the gender binary discussion,
the least consequential, most destructive way possible.
Yeah.
What you've done here, Jim, Mr. Jim,
you've taken a thing that already was bad
and weird in context, out of context.
And like how the fuck is anyone
so to understand what the goddamn hell you're talking about?
Was it, were they, the boy math meme
was begat by boy dinner, right? Which was, girl meme was begat by boy dinner, right?
Which was, I think girl dinner was begat by girl dinner, right?
But it seems like maybe of those two memes, there's one that dovetails very nicely with
a sandwich restaurant.
And that would be the dinner based one.
Yeah, it has dinner in it, Jimmy.
That, anyway, that's your update.
KFC can't apologize to utensils for being so delicious.
Publicly, they apologize to all utensils.
Fine, that sounds like bullshit.
Yeah.
But I did, I didn't want to let you guys know about that.
They finally apologize.
