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. 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?

Starting point is 00:01:15 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.
Starting point is 00:01:35 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.

On our website, where if you use the code, TravNation, you say one percent your prices increased by five percent Five percent too much and I am a scary mummy
Starting point is 00:02:14 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,
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:14 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.
Starting point is 00:03:36 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:09 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.
Starting point is 00:04:20 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:12 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.
Starting point is 00:05:22 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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.
Starting point is 00:06:10 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.
Starting point is 00:06:29 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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.
Starting point is 00:07:08 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.
Starting point is 00:07:21 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,
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:44 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.
Starting point is 00:09:09 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.
Starting point is 00:09:31 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?
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:33 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.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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.
Starting point is 00:11:11 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
Starting point is 00:11:34 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.
Starting point is 00:11:57 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.
Starting point is 00:12:40 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.
Starting point is 00:13:09 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.
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:41 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
Starting point is 00:14:21 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
Starting point is 00:14:42 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.
Starting point is 00:15:02 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,
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:24 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,
Starting point is 00:16:06 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.
Starting point is 00:16:20 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
Starting point is 00:17:08 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?
Starting point is 00:17:44 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?
Starting point is 00:17:58 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,
Starting point is 00:18:15 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.
Starting point is 00:18:43 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?
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:28 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.
Starting point is 00:19:36 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,
Starting point is 00:19:50 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,
Starting point is 00:19:58 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.
Starting point is 00:20:15 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.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:13 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?
Starting point is 00:21:54 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.
Starting point is 00:22:28 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.
Starting point is 00:22:41 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,
Starting point is 00:23:00 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.
Starting point is 00:23:28 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.
Starting point is 00:23:39 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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?
Starting point is 00:24:09 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,
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:24:36 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.
Starting point is 00:24:51 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
Starting point is 00:25:04 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.
Starting point is 00:25:24 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?
Starting point is 00:25:32 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.
Starting point is 00:25:50 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.

Starting point is 00:27:16 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.

And you can probably see what this ad's going. But you need to have a bit, you got to get a better website in Squarespace. It's the, I'm just going to say easiest way to do that.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Squarespace is the all in one platform for building your brand and growing your business online. We've all made Squarespace websites, I mean, the three of us, but maybe every person on Earth has, and it's easy, it's great.

Yeah, it's learning. Learning. I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington. I'm Elliot Kaylen. And together we are the
Starting point is 00:31:36 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
Starting point is 00:31:56 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. Find the flop house on maximumfun.org or wherever you get podcasts. Co-optober continues in celebration of National Co-op Month. I'm Paul Marien-Wenese, producer and a worker owner at Max Fun.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I'm Mrs. Ambrosio, producer and I'm also a worker owner at MaxFund. This week is all about community. Of course, we couldn't be a co-op without the MaxFund community, and we love it whenever members of our audience get together. So we're having another MaxFund meetup this Thursday, October 12th. And next week, we'll be hosting a panel discussion with other worker owners across the co-op community. And we are still selling our limited edition launch group merch available to all Max Fun members. But only through the end of the month.
Starting point is 00:32:51 For more info, I'll meet up day and everything co-optober head to maximumfund.org slash co-optober. That's CO, OP, T-O-B-E-R. Have a great week! T-O-B-E-R. Have a great week. 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
Starting point is 00:33:31 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
Starting point is 00:33:53 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.
Starting point is 00:34:07 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.
Starting point is 00:34:16 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
Starting point is 00:34:29 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,
Starting point is 00:34:43 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.
Starting point is 00:34:59 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.
Starting point is 00:35:34 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
Starting point is 00:35:51 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.
Starting point is 00:36:04 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.
Starting point is 00:36:19 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.
Starting point is 00:36:32 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
Starting point is 00:37:09 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.
Starting point is 00:37:35 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.
Starting point is 00:37:47 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.
Starting point is 00:38:05 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.
Starting point is 00:38:17 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.
Starting point is 00:38:54 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.
Starting point is 00:39:13 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.
Starting point is 00:39:36 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.
Starting point is 00:40:02 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.
Starting point is 00:40:20 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.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, welcome, much for the podcast and the podcast. Profile in the latest and greatest in brand eating.
Starting point is 00:40:48 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.
Starting point is 00:41:08 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.
Starting point is 00:41:24 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.
Starting point is 00:41:34 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,
Starting point is 00:41:56 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.
Starting point is 00:42:25 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.
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:24 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.
Starting point is 00:43:38 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.
Starting point is 00:44:08 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.
Starting point is 00:44:19 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.
Starting point is 00:44:42 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.
Starting point is 00:45:17 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.
Starting point is 00:45:39 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.
Starting point is 00:45:58 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,
Starting point is 00:46:19 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
Starting point is 00:46:37 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,
Starting point is 00:46:58 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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?
Starting point is 00:47:28 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,
Starting point is 00:47:49 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,
Starting point is 00:48:09 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.
Starting point is 00:48:35 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.
Starting point is 00:48:59 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.
