My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 683: Cool Ranch for Drama, Nacho Cheese for Comedy

Episode Date: October 23, 2023

We’d like to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the excruciating and honestly impressive detail, contained within this episode, concerning instruction on how to savor a certain fancy chocolate snack. We also thought about apologizing to our fantastic guestpert Felicia Day for a gross episode, except that she does offer advice about the intersection of IBS and therapy.Suggested talking points: Gross Nation Pee-Pee Vitamins, Go Woke Go Broke Dad, The Ferrero Rocher Ceremony, Fifth Wing Fancast, Bespoke Tater Tot ContainerCheck out Felicia’s new podcast Third Eye: https://www.audible.com/pd/Third-Eye-Audiobook/B0C8VJV8W1Reproductive Freedom for All: https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/

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? There's a star. Something beautiful.

A small quaintant has blossomed? It's the start of something beautiful A small quaintant has blossomed It's rapid into a precious friendship 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 true, it's better with you My life, it's better with you. Bye-bye. Oh. It's better with you. Hello, everybody, and welcome to my brother, my brother, and me, and advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middleest brother, Travis McElroy. What's up, Travis Nation?

I'm your sweet baby brother, Griffin McElroy. Right off the bat, I do need to apologize to the transformation. Those NFTs hold on one second, just got to tamp down the huge rush of panic that you just sent through my my whole body with that beginning. Okay. The NFTs while very popular and profitable didn't turn out the way I'd hope. They were just the same picture of my face over and over again, mailed physically to everyone that guy I partnered with. Slick Steve said that.

Slick Steve is an issue. Now I had a problem. Everyone is checking the date of this podcast to be like, there's, wait, this can't be from October 2023. These guys are talking about NFTs. Slick Steve told me that NFTs have never been hotter. Right. But he did explain, when he explained it to you,

he did make sure you knew they were called non-fungible travises. Yes, correct. And you liked that. Yeah, well, I was talking to him at Kingcos, and I was like, yeah, just sit down. That's where they make the NFTs at Kingcos. Yeah, at Kingcos.

And he said, yeah, I'll mail to everybody. And I said, like email, and he said, sure, whatever. And I gave him like a hundred bucks, and he said he yeah, I'll mail to everybody. I said, like email and he said, sure, whatever. And I gave him like a hundred bucks and he said he'd do it. And he apparently sent out like a million of them, but it was like a hundred to each person. I'm not sure how an FT's work. Oh, but I do apologize for that.

And- This was like when I joined Gross Nation, which was Terry Gross's nation. Yeah. I bought a lot of what Terry Gross called PP vitamins. Uh-huh. That Terry Gross said was gonna work super good for everyone who enjoyed them, but.

Did they? I was, I'm 20,000 in the whole thing to Terry Gross's PP medicine scale. Wait, were you supposed to buy Terry Grosses P.B. medicine and sell it to other people? This is just for a fellow part for Griffin. He just got, he got to the bottom of the pyramid and he was like, I love it here.

This is actually perfect. I actually feel very stable and supportive here at the bottom of the pyramid. Right now Travis, you sound a lot like the DE agent that is investigating Terry Gross for this whole ring. And so maybe examine yourself. What was the ring? I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. It was a... Terry called it a sexagon? Oh. In a cool, winky way.

Terry Gross is like a... I think he was first time... This was in Slack. So it could have been a good nature typo that then Terry Gross felt like. winky way. There goes like, I think you know, first time this was, oh, this was in Slack. So it could have been a good, nature type of that then Terry gross felt like, um, Terry gross needed to stick with. That you name is so good to say. Sometimes I just get so excited about our credits podcast to you guys. That was really one of these times. So I hit the record button. I was like, Oh boy. Yeah. That's why cause we did three shows last year.

Yeah. We all came out. Yeah. New York Comic Con year. Thank you for the whole show. We came out to New York Comic Con. We appreciate you. I have Philadelphia. Philadelphia, you all are wild. Philadelphia scared me bad with the energy. You all hear the Philadelphia show, did they? Was that, did we run that this week?

I don't think so, I don't believe so. That would have been impossible. The audience has ever been at us and it's just because I talked about Dolf Lunger and making up a chicken filly sandwich. And they were booing. You'll hear some things of that show. That was a wild one.

Fun energy though. Fun energy though. It was right. It was like riding a Bronco. I felt like a heel. You know what I mean? I felt like one of the bad, bad wrestlers.

Gold dust, yeah. This is an advice show. Yeah. And I want to get into it. That's enough preamble. How many questions do you think we can do this later? Let's see, Trap. I have a four-year-old son. I've recently shown the song Ghostbusters 2. There is a line in the song about how Bustin makes me feel good. Very good. That he sings at the top of his lungs I don't want to crush his how we inspire it and stop playing the song for him But I don't want my four-year-old talking about Boston. How should I handle this?

This is from Ghostbusters Greg in Tampa. Okay. Why not? Do you love ghosts? I don't understand why this would Do you love ghosts and you hate the idea that I'm getting busted? Is that fucking go-wo-go broke dad? We're allowed to sit, we're allowed. If we can't find ghosts, where are we at, man? That's too loud, Trab, that's so loud. It's really loud. You know how I get passionate about those. I don't know, I know, but that was like clipping

a new character called clipping guy in Luke's Ghost Busters, which I think we all got around the time that the book goes buzzers remake came out. Yeah, we put that character from different people. The song goes buzzers by Ray Parker Jr. This is a question that I don't, I've never thought about until now. Do you think that Ray Parker Jr. when he submitted the slid across the desk, an audio cassette? This is my demo.

Yeah. And they hit play. Do you think when they got to bus to makes me feel good? Do you think Ray Parker looked at the executives like, get it? And they said, they still go great with the scene where Dan Acroix gets a blowjob from a ghost. Do you think it's that? Or do you think he was like, I don't know, I guess like, busting like ghost busting, it makes them feel good, the bus goes. You guys did me like 10 minutes to do it.

Any in-u window planned or intended by Mr. Parker Jr. planned? planned. I'm not saying like people could read this as sexual. Do you think anyone was like, guys, this reads wildly sexual. And this is in a movie where Megas blowjob from a ghost. I don't think wildly sexual.

I think he off-uscated the in-new window by using almost entirely the music from Huey Luzas. I want a new drug. So I think he was, they were like, yeah, got a lot of questions. And he was like, is it about the bus in line? They said, no, no. That actually is not the biggest thing I want to discuss here

in Ray Parker, Jr. I would like to discuss how you just fully listed the entire music track. There's a Mandela effect thing actually, because at no point in the song does Ray Parker, Jr. actually say bust and makes you feel good. It's just a thing that everybody thinks that he says. What it is? It's a Mandela. There's a classic Mandela, like the baron steam bears.

You know, I'm he actually says she actually says Justin makes me feel good. Yeah. I'm not realizing there is a shot in the video where Ray Parker Jr. There's a woman sleeping in a bed in lingerie that she does pulled from her by an invisible man. Yeah, and then Ray Parker Jr. Like a auto mechanic underneath a Ferrari just slides out of nowhere to drop his bus to make you feel good. I think maybe Ray knew exactly what it was. I, one might argue Justin that in the late 80s, early 90s,

whenever this was exactly, they didn't care. But everybody was just so like, yeah, listen, this, the world's great, we're all very rich. Cocaine flows like, why nothing's ever gonna be bad again? Yeah, man, the world's great. We're all very rich, cocaine flows like wine. Nothing's ever gonna be bad again. Yeah, man, invisible man's leaving your bed. I guess that's a job for the Ghostbusters. That line's always confusing.

If not them, but the invisible man, not a ghost. Do you guys think that the Ghostbusters are listed on like contractor finding sites like? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Are there competitors? Yeah, the Ghost Crankers. Ghost Commerce is another one.

Call us, Ghost Gasm. Ghost Gasm. Come, he makes me feel great. I love it. I enjoy our gasping two ghosts. You guys ever think of the, woo. The air has ever think about the,

the celebrity cameos in the Ghost Busters video and get the lighted all over again. No, the video if you haven't watched it has this section where celebrities just pop up on a screen and say the word ghost busters with varying levels of enthusiasm. This must have people includes George Wint, Al Franken, Danny DeVito, Carly Simon, Peter Falk. Peter Falk said, think about poor Peter Falk, just I don't go sputter.

I was one more ghost. The movie wasn't out. So everyone is like, hey Peter Falk, look into the fucking camera and say the word ghost busters. He's like, what is this? What could this be for? Why do I have to say go? You say a lot of words into a camera, Peter. You say whatever you tell you right now.

I'm telling you ghost busters. You got it. Yeah. Let me give a second take of that ghost busters. Yeah, yeah. It was actually, Ghostbusters. You got it. Yeah. Let me give a second take of that Ghostbusters. Yeah. Yeah. You got it. It was actually, uh, hauntingly, it was John Candy's last Ghostbusters video.

Oh. And was it his first also? It's his first and last Ghostbusters music video. Hey, you don't have to worry about this question, ask it because either the any teacher or whatever the child says is around will immediately get the rest friends. Yeah. It's such a human, right? And if they don't, that's actually on them.

At this point, Bussin makes me feel good, I think, as Transcendent knowing that like ever seeing the movie. Yeah, you're fine. You're fine. Also, when four-year-old say shit like that, it's awesome and great. That's the other thing is, even if they don't get

the reference, it's always funny when a kid says something that they shouldn't say. Almost without exception, it kicks ass. It's one of the great pleasures of my life is how just... He just... It's one of the few pleasures in my life is how just in children always say things to him that they should, that probably a child shouldn't say to an adult. Yeah, we don't do any of that. The filtering of language.

We're pretty open in our household. Well, I figure that he makes his living from working blue. The kids, if I had started working blue, a lot younger, we thought about this. Our parents deprived us of some of our best cursing years. Think about how good we would be at cursing now if we were allowed to start with. And we're already pretty good at it. We're pretty good at it.

We try to make up for it with some on the job training. I'm a good boy who I don't curse a lot. Not like that. Okay, yeah, proportionally perhaps you're. We talked about this. We have, we have the numbers. It's a bit fly. What?

Just a lot of the kid fly. Oh, I thought you were talking about the ghosts again. Oh, I thought you were telling me to go have the numbers. It's a fly. What? Just let the kid fly. Oh, I thought you were talking about the ghosts again. Oh, I thought you were talking about the ghosts of life. Curse away, Travis. Okay. Hey, can we go to the wizard? Because it's a good one, I think. Oh, okay.

Shavon sent it in, thank you. You know when you do that, you're at your actively saying like, some of them are real shut. Right. No, no, I mean, some of them just, I, you know, I don't feel the same way about every single thing Travis, I'm not a cyber man. Not anything like that.

Give it time. If the studios get what they want, we'll all be cyber men, am I right? Yes, not 100% sure what the strike is. That's what they want. They want to switch out our organs with cyber organs. Oh, no. This is the Terry Gross,epy Medicine all over again.

I mean, PP Vitamins. Sorry, did I say met? You can't call it medicine. Terry is gonna be so fucking p.o. Guys at me for being that, hey, how to enjoy Ferrero Rocher. Rocher. Ooh, I have some strong thoughts about this.

I bet you do. This delicious layered chocolate has led the best of us to wonder how best we can enjoy its goodness. It must be stated that eating this particular chocolate is equally a science and an art. Whoa, it's a science and an art. So if you want to become a master, you've come to the right place.

Can we just right now take a second. When we were growing up to me, there were these things that I was taught via television that's like, oh, that's the peak. That's like a billionaire. Billionaires eat these on their private jets. Right? That was just. That kind of elegance.

That it was that and serving cat food to cats. I'm like crystal dishes. Well, I was like, one day I'll be able to eat a forever O'Shea while I give my cat their little whatever scissors on a crystal dish and I'll know I've made it. Right. It was those in those wild ice cream cakes that I can't remember the name.

They had little ice cream cakes that were drizzled in. The Anetta. The Anetta. Yes. I always saw that. And Grape Bona and I was just like, well, I always saw that and Grape, Grape Bonnet. I was just like, well, I'll never have that. Yeah, that's the layer of wealth.

And fancy feast. Yeah. We serve it in the crystal dish. I love the crystal dish. I often thought I wish I ate that well. I don't know what's in the food, but I don't get crystal dishes and I'm a boy. When I had my first Ferrero Rocher in my 26th year,

yeah, oh, what a delight. At the ceremony. At the ceremony. The Rocher inning. Hey, step one. Step one. Step one. Step one.

Keep your grades up. Step one. Keep your grades up there. You got to take the bottom wrapper off. Step 1.5. Open the wrapping very carefully. Pull off the brown part gently while unwrapping the gold layer without tearing it.

Unlike other wrappings, this one is not only too good to be destroyed, but can amuse you in your idle hours. Wait, you are into origami and paper folding. I don't wanna brag, but I have some for a rocher in the house right now. Do you, I would kill for a rocher. Wow, Theresa and I was recently our 10 year anniversary and the place that we went,

we went to like do like a couple of spa day and they were like, and here you go. And like sitting on the table and like the, our like waiting room was some forever shake. And they were like, oh, that's for you, that's for you to take. And it was like a box of like 50 of them. And we're like, okay, but that

wasn't our last stop of the day. So then we did some the rest of the day, just like a secret agent with like an important briefcase, like handcuffed to their wrist, just walking away around with a box of forever. Or say like, yeah, these are awesome. I haven't done surprised. You haven't torn those bad boys down yet. Oh, we're about halfway through. Okay. Put them in the ground. Put them in the ground. Absorb the visual beauty of the perfectly spherical divine nut sprinkled surface.

They are not perfectly spherical, they're not sprinkled. How can you say it? No. Travis, if you blew up the Ferrero Rache to Earth scale, it would be smoother than the smoothest pool ball ever Constructed okay, well you make an excellent boy girlfriend. I simply I saw Neil the grass Tyson say that on TikTok one time Yeah, and he knows for error or shea's so yeah, he does always eating them on camera, which is weird

Yeah, he's like every time the other grass Tyson does a thing He's like I'm to make my point. I'd love the best visual thing I could do is related to Ferreroshet. And I might make a few mistakes, so bring some extra. And I will use that to demonstrate about meteors or fucking... Whatever, dinosaurs, you can fuck cares. Bring 80. I just want the fuck cares bring 80 the one I'm saying is maybe the inertia of this Ferrero Rocher as it travels to my mouth that's not what a Dersh is uh-huh yeah this is where it becomes Ferrero Rocher equals munch plus flavor

equal what don't worry about it do you know the fuck I am Neil we've cut Neil we am? Neil, we've cut. Neil, we've cut. Oh, okay, we've cut. Halt, whoops. I tripped on to the Ferrerro Rocher again. Oh, no. Sorry, I just got so, so delighted by that mental image. Inhale and soak in the aroma of the hazel chocolate that gently tickles your nose.

Now it doesn't say inhale through the nose. So I need my instructions on like you how to be pretty explicit. It might be like both at the same time, right? You're trying to let's say if you can get a terrible headache. I, I hate it doing it. I'm also, as you're doing this, Grimana, I'm just picturing somebody sitting anywhere in public and I'm watching them do this step by step. I'm doing nothing. I'm ignoring my family.

I have thrown my phone in the garbage can. I am only watching this person delight. This is the filming of the plastic bag and American beauty of like, well, this is, this is enough. Oh, shit. Oh, God, guys. Oh, fuck. Step five, exhale. I'm so sorry we didn't tell you guys that fast.

Oh, my God. You can sit on it that long, group. Tragedy struck today. Tens of listeners to the popular, well, formerly popular, I guess the way brother, my brother, me have passed out while driving. Finally, it's time to move into the eating part

of the experience. This step varies. This step varies from individual to individual, but there are two broad approaches under which most individual techniques fall. One, if you are patient by nature and prefer to save for something good slowly, then you will probably want to take the layer by layer approach.

If you're a person who likes to take in something wonderful all at once, then you might take the pop it in approach. Layered by layer? Yeah. It's like the size of a quarter. What are you talking about? No, no, no. Like you bite the way for layer.

No, Justin, you're about to say so. You're about to say so. You're about to say some really foolish shit. So why don't you let the professionals at WikiHow tell you how to eat it layer by layer. Okay. One, start by carefully nibbling or licking the topmost layer.

Choco makes one. Oh God. Oh God. There's photos with all these that I won't show you guys, because I never actually want to eat a Ferrari or a Rocher again. Continue by savoring the next layers consisting of waffle and pure chocolate.

Mmm. Yeah. Sover those wafers too long. Then thank you, by the way, my part on the me of life for fucking up the way we say wafer for our entire life. Yeah, they get, thank you guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Huge for us. So huge. If you leave it in there too long, get gummy. Yes. That's true. You miss out on the delicate creature. Do you like ruining your Ferrero Rocher liar by liar? We've got to.

You got to suffer the waffle. Lofor. You suffer the waffle liar? It's not a job breaker. This thing's going to become bad in the mouth, I think, which is a crime to do to a Ferrer Roussé. Um, I'm so sorry, step three, put the nut right into your mouth,

fully and crunch it down, not partially, fully into the mouth, crunch it down. With, with, with, with, crunch it down, with which teeth, we'll circle back to that. We'll come back to that for next time, the pop it in approach. Do you need help? Hey, do you need help to how to put in a candy into your mouth?

It's called the pop it in approach. You know, there's probably just the one. What, which hole? The witch hole. I put it in my ear, I can't taste it. You're driving me crazy with this fucking date keeping. Start by this. This is just because you eat candy all the time,

like some sort of dirty little retcon. Doesn't mean that other people are so good at eating. What if it was like, I've found it was like, first off, take the carburetor out. You'd be there, car guys who are like, yeah, they would get that. Yeah. And listen, maybe there are some people,

maybe they're on this podcast, who have never eaten like a complicated looking candy like say a toblorone, right? And they're like, I do do it. You try to, you end up like having to go to the emergency room or something, you don't know what you're doing, right?

How much do I, or how much do they, unwrap at a time, like how many chunks is normal? Yeah, I'll actually say it, Travis. There's no pleasing bite of a toadblurone. There's no pleasant amount of wedges you put in your mouth and you're like, oh, good. Bad shape. It's triangle. It's a bad shape. They fall off the shelves all the time because of the super shape.

It feels like putting a like a tortilla, like a Dorito and your mouth point up. Yes. Closing your mouth on it. No good. So unpleasant. Try again. Just get a symphony bar. Check this out.

It's over on. That's a circle. That's a circle. That's a circle. Make a round candy bar. Make a round candy. No, I don't mind. I don't mind a challenge. A toffee. Give me a heave. Give me a score. Make a round candy. No, I don't mind. I don't mind a challenge, a toffee,

give me a heath, give me a score. I'll work out. Absolutely. I'll work out. Because I can make my mouth also like, yeah, candy bar shape. And I find it my teeth later. I'm a self-neur, a real gift for you.

Today, you're a great leader. You're gonna be living with these. If Tom, if Tom decides to get this into the cloud, you're gonna be ruined. I'm a Heathbar vending machine right now. And receptacle right in there making mouthful. Leave it. He's like taking a fire. It's like a child puzzle where you hammer the shapes into the things.

That's a he went reverse viral on TikTok. Videos of images are going to be deleted from the internet. And that's incredible. Um, start popping the entire Ferrero Rocha Canyon your mouth. I already ate the internet. That's incredible. Start by popping the entire Ferrerero Rocha candy in your mouth. I already ate the fuck. What do you mean? I already ate the nut in one five? No, no, that's that's if you take the larval wire or just that. Yeah, this is if you poop it in. This is poop it in.

Sink your teeth in so that the outermost layer and the wafer layer cracks spilling the liquid chocolate into your mouth. One, that's not not a gusher. This person has an eaten one. No. This is how they plan to eat their first. This is the first one. This is their fan fiction for Ferrer. Scrape the metal filings out of the center.

Now, avoid the, avoid the elf that lives in the middle, that punishes attackers. It will be spicy, and that'll scare you. That's okay. When the hot soup comes into your mouth from the inside, it's so good. So, oh, God, okay. So you've cracked, just check in. You guys have cracked open the waffle iron

and spilled the liquid chocolate into your mouth. Yeah, good, good, good. Next to what I want you to do, and this is the most important part, is to roll the nut over in this tasty mixture, or tell all the chocolate dissolves, and all the nuts are finely ground by your teeth. We're gonna have to put an NC17 rating on this episode.

That's, that's, what this person has just described is chewing. And that makes food, I love it. So exciting to eat a Ferrero Rocher. You just made chewing kind of horrifying in a very like body horror-esque way. Like, yeah, I know that's what's going on in there, but I don't have to see it

because I chewed my mouth closed like a little gentleman. I don't like it anymore. Chewing. Swallow. I'm getting less. This is actually like helping me to want one less. Oh my God. I never, guys, you're not even seeing the pictures. I never want to eat one of these fucking guys again.

At the beginning, I was so excited that I had them in the house and now I'm wondering, like, can I throw it away without anyone noticing? Yeah, I can get them out of the house. And now I'm wondering, like, can I throw it away without anyone noticing? Yeah, can I get them out of the house? I wanna make things clear. There's four steps left in this article and each one is not being made up by me. Griffon Hacker, right? Okay, not this good.

Step four, swallow. Be careful to swallow everything except the nut. What? Step five, savor the rough surface of the nut before letting your molars sink. He's crushing it in a tiny bit which formed the sweetest aftertaste and then swallow. So the molars?

The molars is the answer. You okay, Juice? I think Joseph's calling the police. Molars was the answer. Molars are the strong nut crunching teeth that God gave us to crunch the melancholy. Okay, so what are the strong nut crunching teeth that God gave us to crunch the millilage. Okay, so it's, what are the front ones?

The bicusset, whatever, front teeth, the no. The ones are useless to me. No, you got a no way. You got a no way, the outer nut chocolate layer with your front teeth. They use your insiders, your fangs, to release the chocolate from over on the nut.

Here's the shell in order to release the chocolate from around the nut. That's where you used to pierce the shell in order to release the chocolate. And then you used the tube in those to suck the chocolate through the chocolate. And then the molars to crush the nut. Right. And then the tongues of dancing all around. Well, you skipped a part where you playfully

pull the nut around in the chocolate nut mess that you made in your mouth by chewing. And did they include what moans and other noises you should make while you do that? Or is that just dealer's choice? Oh, Travis, there's two more steps. Step six, keep your mouth closed. And lick your teeth to remember.

Keep your mouth closed. Keep your mouth closed. Keep your grades up. Keep your mouth shut. Keep your mouth forever. Oh, shit. Lick your teeth to remember the exquisite piece of enjoyment just experience

Why don't I just do? Why does my mouth feel like this? Oh, yeah, I must remember Oh, yes, I Found a nut piece what a delightful treasure Excuse me everyone. I need complete silence. I'm revisiting the memory of eating a fruit over share. I have seconds ago. I have discovered one of the tiny nut bits that I crushed into my molars.

Oh, how I think the rough surface of the nut. Hey, did you brush your teeth in my baby? I did not. I feel there are still a few glorious scraps somewhere in there and I did. Sweet precious memories all. Maybe that was three days ago. I'll buy you more for rare or chase guy. Now you don't understand. No. Is that simple? I found the process of meeting the first one so exhausting. Mm-hmm. That I dare not. I dare not. Took me, took me 45 minutes to enjoy one of these little nut mysteries.

With one hand on the mouse and one hand on the candy, the whole time, it was quite a feat. In retrospect, I should have read through the whole article before beginning, instead of doing it cold. But alas, here we are, and I'm sorry, I missed the birth of our child. There is one step left. What do you guys think it is? Mone. Justin. Buy it.

Get another one back to start and repeat. No, guys. Metatache. Very trashy way. Meditate. No, uh. Get the form. No matter what means you take to the end.

This last step is common to all. This is the meditation step. God damn it. The layer by layer followers, the layer by layer followers already sample this in their stages, but a more wholesome pause is needed to recollect and remember the wonderful experience.

Hey, the first thing you are not making this up is baffling to me, Griffin. I am really, I'm having a hard time with this one. People are trying to be present and connect with themselves in this sweet chocolate right now. So this last step is vital because thinking of how good the chocolate was leads to a repetition of all the above steps

thereby doubling your already heightened pleasure. Thank you so much. Namaste, Wickey. How thank you so much. That's very We could all learn something from that is that you don't need to eat 25 Ferrero Rocheres. You can just eat one and remember it over and over again each time Going into your mind palace. My mind palace is just one big Ferrero Rocher. I ate once back in 2014. Like a James of the dry beach kind of thing and you're living there. I can make it be whatever size I want. I can make it look, watch, Chef. It's real small, but there's a thousand of them. I did that in my mind, in my Ferrero Rocher mind palace. Oh wow. You guys ever tried the other, the other ones, the pretenders to the throne. No, there's a little like a Lego brick inside.

There's the white, they're the white chocolate one. Chris, what are those called? You know, the old rarer, Roche. No, no, no, like a good one. All they got that you like, they're white. They're so good. Where they call? Tastations.

No, what are they called? Oh, they're white ones. They're called the money zone. Raphaelos. No, they're called the money zone. No, the money zone is what they're called. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone.

They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone. They're called the money zone.

Oh, something about the web. He loves building websites.

I hope to God that you would in some way. Some for something. That's something. I was all primed for some Travis gold. Yeah, it was PyRite if I ever heard. Hey, you know what? I love you guys. Why does Spider-Man love Squarespace so much? Why?

Because of their best in class fluid website design system because of their incredible video editor suite. Like you could have said so many things that Squarespace would have paid us for. You know what I mean? I just, I don't want it. We're off third time. At this point, I don't want anything else.

Nice to ask. Let me take the punch card out of that one. Walk over to NetSuite. Great. Hey, do you know why. Walk over to NetSuite. Great. Hey, do you know why Spider-Man loves NetSuite? What is that? Well, it's because, you know, you're falling behind.

He's a small business owner. He's a small business owner. He's trying to get pictures of Spider-Man pictures of himself. That's hard when you're by yourself. If he's Spider-Man, it should be pretty fucking easy to take. It should be best equipped to do this job more than he was. If he's turning in selfies, you don't think

Jay-John and James were gonna be like, wait, what the fuck? These are, whoa, wait a minute. And so, if this is you, if this sounds like you, then you should know these three numbers. 36,000, 25, one spider-man. Yeah. 36,000. That's the number of businesses

which have upgraded the NetSuite by Oracle. It's also how many people that the green goblin has killed. And that's why we need Spider-Man more than ever. 25. NetSuite turns 25 this year. There's 25 years of helping businesses do more or less, close their books in days, not weeks, drive down costs. So does Toby McGuire, the original Spider-Man, happy 25th birthday, Dave Toby?

And one, because your business is one of a kind, so you get customized solutions to all your KPIs. That's key performance indicators, which Spider-Man loves. In one efficient system with one source of truth, manage risk, get reliable forecast, and improve margins. It doesn't have the key performance indicators highlighted, I think that's just in case, is there for you in case you're in the show?

It's not the secret Travis. It doesn't know what a KPI is. I of course, no KPI's. I just know that whenever Spider-Man captures like the Rhino, he's like, I couldn't have done it without NetSweets KPIs, right? And so I just wanna make sure everybody knows because it's everything you need all in one place,

just like Spider-Man, he's got everything you need all in one place. NetSweets is kind of the Spider-Man of tools for your business, right? And so just like Spider-Man was unprecedented before he came around, at that point, no one had thought about combining the powers of spiders and the like, right.

That's not you let your uncle Ben get killed on the toilet. It's a key performance indicator. Maybe he's indicating how well you're protecting your uncle Ben. Yeah, really key fashion're protecting your Uncle Ben. Yeah, really key fashion. Maybe if Uncle Ben hadn't kicked my ass up and down the wrestling ring. Uncle Ben is ready.

I thought Sam Rangley took a lot of liberties, but I loved that change. Remember when Peter Parker wrestled with Uncle Ben so hard that he killed him in real life. Yeah. Yeah. And then he said the rest of the movie was like, I feel responsible.

And then he was like, you are responsible. You are. You did it. You did it. You tombstone him. He's so hard. He's had several times. Several times.

People say not to judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. Which is why here on Justice Zoo of us, we judge them by so much more. We rate animals out of ten in the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics,

taking into consideration each animal's true strengths, like a pigeon's ability to tell a mone from a Picasso or a polar bear's ability to play basketball.

Thank you so much for your support and have a great co-optober. All right, here's another question. Let's do another question. Uh, here's one. I am a therapist, the mental health kind, who has some stomach issues at times. Normally, I take my morning constitutional between eight and nine o'clock sessions by then my coffee's in full effect and things simply go smoothly.

Sometimes though, my IBS and coffee tag team, on rare occasions, I have to excuse myself mid-session to take care of my urgent business. What is the most elegant or least embarrassing slash damaging way to politely excuse myself and return to session therapy is supposed to be about the client. So I don't want to turn my poop problems into a deal and take away from their therapy. That's from counselor cramped by crap. I have no fucking clue.

I can't relate to this one. Weirdly, like, I usually can find some foothold in the questions that we receive on this show. This one's got me. You'd fall on it. I tell you, guys, I think yesterday, I was talking with, I don't want to name drop here, but my friend Philly today. And she was describing expertise in exactly this scenario. That is right. If anyone ever needed help

with this thing, I'd love to be there. I think she's got something to promote. So let me try to call her. Okay. People. People. People. People. Wait, why did you say no numbers again? Was that pretty? Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, Hello. Hi. Hi Felicia, this is Justin MacCory. Oh, hi, Jess.

Hey. Can we talk about fourth wing again? Oh my God, Satan. Oh my God, Satan. Oh my God, Satan. You can talk about fourth wing again. We have important pressing business. Yeah. All right. Well, however

I'm just a spitt off podcast of just me and just I'm good amount of people that would listen to Justin back rightfully today's for Hey the sequel is almost out Is it another one this fall? We're good. It's easy. Is it fifth wing? Is it is it? Is it a free call? Do you see the lack of entertainment that we are Is it like this is a Joke around yeah, this is not hair all the kingdoms in and you're gonna do you know anything about IBS

Because this question ask her has IBS I guess and Only time I be S. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I know a lot. Oh, I'm such an expert in this. This is amazing. Did you know I had poop problems too? Well, I didn't know I didn't believe him. I knew okay, okay, you do because I've seen you at a bunch of conventions Yeah, well, I barely see you I barely see a conventions because you're always in and out you know I mean suddenly you just like jump on you. I gotta go and you run out of the room the problem with the three of us is Everybody's always calling us the normal poop brothers. Yeah. Because it's all that's really bad. So normal and so like it's a therapist who sometimes have to excuse themselves like during the session to go drop ass and I wanted to see like sort of what you would advise them about how to like a cool, chill way of swinging that.

So I think we need to first start with some empathy since it's a therapist and think about that everybody's poop is not the same and I think a lot of people don't understand that. Okay, can you get her in on that? Speak on that, please. Are you guys like a 9 a.m. or, you know, do you have like a 24 hour poop cycle in your life

where you're just like, I know I'm gonna need to go after my coffee Right after Minus one of a monthly cycle, but a monthly that's great. Mine is After I drop my kids off at school. I smashed through the door of my home like the incredible Hulk And barrel through the hallway, leaving claw marks, ripping photos down. That's a sprint in a mad dashing and fake just to try to reach my turn. This is, and that's every day for me,

that's my daily session. If I venture more than 30 minutes away from my home, and then upon returning like the animals, in the amazing journey where the dogs come back and the cat comes back, that's my gut to the toilet. My gut is so excited. It's basically wagging its proverbial tail and there's no time to celebrate getting home, time to go.

I'm just after breakfast, after dinner, one in one out. Okay, you're a two-poor day, that's incredible. That's like, it feels excessive, but okay. My body is a food bag, and when food goes in the food bag, food, there has to be room in the food bag. Do you know what I mean? Like, so yeah, there's two. One time, after getting a massage,

the therapist was trying to sell me things as fast as it happens. They asked me how many bowel movements I have a day and I said one and they said ah the problem is you eat three emails a day and you're only having one bowel Movement a day so you have stuff backed up and I didn't have the heart to tell this person like hey That over my lifetime what your presuppose against there's thousands of BMs backed up to my body Yeah, I don't think that's how that works. If I slam a quick bag of Doritos with no one's look

a little snack size kid bag, I'm not gonna have a snack size kid poop later. That's not the way it's thought. No, just because you turn it in a fuel to make jokes. Yeah, Doritos are one for one fuel. There's no leftover. It's kind of like a little bit left. Oh, there's a little bit left.

A little bit left. That's the one. A little bit left. A little bit left. Not your cheeser comedy. That's kind of like a cool ranch. Oh, there's a little bit left. It's more of a drama. Yeah. It's a little bit more of a drama. Not your cheese for comedy. That's what we've always said. Right. Well, anyway, IBS is, it's a lower bowel thing. I'm not a doctor, and I'm going to talk about a lot of things that it's like, fully sure

you're not a doctor. I'm going to do it anyway. So, IBS is when you have loose stool, all right? So, you really just got to go. And as someone who's worked the last two months on my poop to do the opposite, okay? So I'm gonna get graphic here. I really love people, plug their ears.

Don't picture it. I, for some reason, because I was on a lot of antibiotics a couple of years ago or whatever, I developed this thing called SIBO, which is an overgrowth of bad bacteria in my lower intestine, which causes either slip inside ploupes, like the IBS person talking about, you can't keep them in, you poop after you eat immediately,

or you got them stopped up. I got them stopped at the time, okay? So I took a poop test about two months ago to try to deal with this. And you're supposed, okay, have you ever done a poop test? You guys? Is it multiple choice? No, no, it, have you ever done a poop test? You guys? Is it multiple toys? No, no, it's where you poop in what looks to be like a tater tot container and then you

scoop the little pieces of food. Sorry, quick bookmark that meant that thing just a quick bookmark that I've never had a bespoke container for my tater tots. Tater tot container does not, it doesn't convey ideas. It's going to save tater tots, Tater tots, it doesn't convey ideas. I received Tater tots. And I've received Tater tots in so many different vessels. We're not California elite.

Is there a thing? You guys say California do you have things like one might put a devil day again, but for individuals to toss? All right, listen, you go to the fair, you get the little paper thing with the red stuff on the outside. Sure, I need to give you a chocolate hug or a tater dot or some other paper boat. Paper boat. I didn't know they had a midwest term for it. I think that's your's preference term for it.

Okay. Anyway, okay, they said from now on, it's just called a poop test boat. Okay, a better name for it. Can you give me the corn dog in the poop test boat? Yeah, that's exactly what we should do next year. Anyway, so they send you this and like nine vials and you're supposed to poop into this precision poop, into this small paper vessel, and they're supposed to use a little spoon

to scoop little pieces of your poop into all the vials, mix them up and then send them to see what your vials are. Wait, mix them up to confuse them, like you'll never guess. Like a quick shell game. If I had that much control over my vials to like precision poop, I wouldn't need this test. It's true. It was very harrowing to like just like, I think I was under my butthole, but I wasn't sure. I'm like, just like, let's hit it.

Hopefully, but don't pee in it after it. It's like a lot of coordination down there. You're gonna want to, it's gonna feel right, but you can't do it. You can't do it. You gotta send that to pee scientist. That's a whole different discipline. They didn't go to pee doctor school.

They're all different, whole different paper boat. Anyway, so then I'll just be transparent. My poops were so hard that I can't do it. Have you been holding back up till now? Yes. Wow, okay. My poops were so hard. Have you been holding back up till now? Yes. Wow, okay. My poops were so hard, I just had to plop them in because they was like, I couldn't even dig into them

with the spoon. You had to get a straight at night. Hard. Yeah, I had to have a cleaver. Hey honey, bring the laser engraver over here. I gotta send. Ha ha ha ha. It's like an ASMR video

as if people using like high-strength water jets to like cut through a nickel or something. So you're preparing your drawings to roast for coffee and what happens next? It's like a cibit, all right? Anyway, I send it in. My microbiome is so bad. I don't have any acid awful, like it's bad.

So I have to go through this eight week diet to try to get rid of the SIBO stuff. And all these supplements, I have a naturopath, integrative medicine person helping me. I have to tell you right now, I'm a 24 hour pooper and it's a nice texture and it's fine. No, wait, hold on. You can't hold on that. I will have for every 24 hours or just 24 hours, seven days a week, you're all over the little bit all that time. No, no, no, that would be terrible.

Yeah, okay. Now, once a day, I'm a 90 ampouper. That's great. Anyway, I just want to tell you that if you have poop problems, there is a solution. Just be aggressive. There's probably something wrong with your diet or whatever and be aggressive about fixing it.

I'm not saying IBS is easy to fix. I'm just saying, this is an issue that a lot of people deal with and I have a lot of sympathy for this there. And if you're gonna take out your advice from any podcast, this is the one. It's this one right here. I wanna throw this out. Hmm, that, ooh, you've given me a lot to think on.

I'm going to have to step into my thinkatorium for a few minutes. Oh, yes. That's good. That's the way you're the therapist. It's such a good point they've made. You're like, gosh, that's really. No one's ever had this issue before.

You're more fucked up than anything I've ever had. I don't need to think on this. You're male, let me take this newspaper with me, just in case my brain can't. I do have to shout out to whoever your nine o'clock appointments are because they have certainly noticed at this point they're in the waiting room. It's like, I've got a great therapist every time right before my appointment, they blast out of that room. They're always in there. They're out of the bathroom. Just, just, they're always in there.

They're always in the can, and they blast out of the can and come and give me the hell of a drink. Follow me. I think it would be very affirming. If a therapist, I've given them all of my like, my quirks and foibles. I would love to know there's a real human being on the other side of the box.

No, I'm gonna disagree with you. Okay. I'm sitting there telling you about my problems with my parents And you're like gotta go poo. I need I need a better preamble. I need a setup. I need an exit line, you know Yeah, so what I would do is be like, you know, I have to take I need to take a break right now I'll be back in one minute, but I want to leave you with this thought And then you leave them kind of thinking about something in a profound way and let it linger. And then maybe in their mind they'll be like, wow, they're such a good therapist,

that they gave me space to really contemplate this one thing a bit longer than we would normally. Also, they were kind of shaking and sweating when they left. Oh, they're okay. And then my tummy. The last thing they said to me, I'll never forget. Normally also they were kind of shaking and sweating when they left my tummy the last thing they said to me I'll never forget they said fuck fuck No, not again would you buy this if the therapist is like I can tell you're being guarded with me right now And that's understandable. I want to try something new that I read about where I want you to keep speaking on this But I'm actually going to step out of the about where I want you to keep speaking on this,

but I'm actually gonna step out of the room because I need you to have the vulnerability of just like speaking your open true on a smile. And I will step back in whenever I feel like it's time. But you can only use that one time. Like, they can't do it every week. You know what I'm saying? You can be like, I'm gonna do it.

Oh, that's true. That's true. You can put a board off. Oh, that's true. That's true. It's not a peat. You can put a board off. Yeah, that's a one off. You're gonna need to put a porta-potty in your office. Call it the confessional booth. You're gonna dress it up.

You're gonna say like, hey, I can tell you I have a whole hard time saying this to me face to face. I'll step into the confessional booth. You speak through the great, but please, with the sound definitely, I had phone saw. It is so important you put the headphones on. I think a big issue here is that, and mental health professionals are heroes,

but whenever you are in their service, the price per minute ratio of that work is considerable. And so if you just slip them a 20 and prepay at the pump a little bit, slip them a 20 or like if it's gonna be pretty bodacious, a couple 20 and then you hop out. To be bodacious. So you would say you're like,

hey, the bad news is I have to go poop, but the good news is this one's on my dime. Yeah, don't worry about it. I poop on the company dime, don't worry about it. Yeah. That could work. If it's remote, you could just do the jacket over the head and phone thing while you sit on the toilet

because no one's got it. Yeah, I don't know why my camera's not working. I mean, I can't see any of you below the waist right now. No, so like, I don't know what you're doing. I don't know what's under your chair. Also, can I just ask you guys, if you would be willing to share, have you had a situation where you were not near a bathroom, you had to poop so badly, you were contemplating alternative methods to evacuate? Yeah, well, okay. All right. Okay, it's the question, sorry, to narrow it down a little bit,

are you saying has this ever happened while we were recording the podcast? Is the answer to that is yes. Yeah. That is yes. Are you just asking if you did plan B. I'm asking, were you like, I'm at the point where I have to think about alternative methods? Yes.

And I the other day, I did make it to the restroom, but because I'm on too much magnesium probably, I literally saw a garbage can. I was like, can I get up there to sit? Yeah. But I didn't have to do that. That's what I'm just wondering. I knew that person. I want I want shit. My pants a quarter mile from a Wendy's that I was trying to get to my my family was in the car with me and they all knew about it. And there was a big crowd in the restroom of the Wendy's.

And I left my I left my underwear there at the Wendy's. And I'm here, we're going to that Wendy's again. And my kids still talk about it to this day, mostly because my wife makes them. And it was, I mean, I wish I could say that was the worst one. It's just the worst one I will talk about on a podcast. Yeah. That's beautiful. Thank you.

I see Griffin looks half the time like he's horrified at you guys. I just will say. Yeah. Yeah. No, I just that I did all it is really so I'll part the curtain for you. I'll put the tiger right up on the table and yell at it. I know that's not even the worst Justin story. Like I.

Yeah. I've born witness to this to this tragic event born witness That's like we don't need to unpack this in front of God and everyone amfully. She's not let's not do this in front of Felicia Day she was in the guild She was featured prominently in supernatural please I Fleshed I have this whole I didn't do like an introduction because of the phone call,

Kaffee. When you tell people, like, we'll be like, I'm basically saying, I am this, where you tell them, what do you tell people you do? I do a lot of stuff on the internet.

I really, I downplay it because I'm an actor, I do a lot of stuff on the internet. Let's not talk about it anymore. But you were on Buffy, you could pull that out. That's right, you're an more. But you are on Buffy, you can pull that out. That's right, you're not. You're an actor.

That feels old. That feels old now, right? I would definitely bring it up in every conversation I ever had from the rest of my life. I'm an official slayer. Yeah, I mean. I'm a slayer and a hundred. Right, officially.

The one television show we featured in predominantly, the network went under shortly thereafter. We still talk about it. That was seven years ago. We bring that shit up all the time. Let's struggle with that to figure out the way to explain. I saying entertainer feels bad. No, and content creator feels really gross.

That's why I switched to influencer now. I'll just see if you can. Oh no. Hey, Tom, come on. Tell me about third eye. Oh, third eye. That's so funny that you wanted to ask about that. It's a prequel to fourth wing.

We'll do it I is a pirate in audio Oh my god, will you be Satan? Yeah, I'll be a Fully sure we'll read everything else and just a little read Satan just Third eye is a project I've worked on for five years.

It's a TV for your ears. It's a television show and audio or you could think about it as a fully performed audio book. It's seven hours. It is about a chosen one who fails and gets her life blown up when this girl enters her life again. It's a fantasy adventure comedy

and it has a lot of really cool people in it. Neil Gaiman, Will Wheaton, Sean Aston, London Hughes, Lily Peachu, Weird Owl, does a cameo, and that's it. It's my baby, and it's on audible.com slash third eye. What more can I tell you about that? How sad is it that I have that in the public world now after five years? That must feel great. I mean, everything's always a let down for me. I'm gonna.

Hmm. That's, that is the title of your memoir. So I should have guessed. Yep. Follow up question. Please, how worried are you that your actual daughter will hear you refer to third eye as your baby? Oh, no. She doesn't refer to herself as a baby. I'm sure you know from your kid.

It's like six years old. It's like, I'm not a baby. Oh, my six-year-old teenager, is that what you mean? Oh. Practice poses and practice is disgusted sound reactions. Like, in the mirror, you mean that? Six year old, yeah. I wanted to, before we leave Felicia, and this is such a bad time to bring this up,

but have you ever heard of Daniel Benzali, who was on a show called Murder One? Daniel Benzali was, he was the original star of a show called Murder One, Steven Boshka first. And he was the original lead of the show. But he was fired after the first season. And in his memoir, Steven Boshka described how this happened, is that Daniel Benzali would be late to work every single day because he had to poop at home before he

got to the set. And so Steve Boshko eventually was like, you can't keep doing this. You have to poop here. And he said, I can't poop here. I have to poop at my house. And Steven Vodka was like, I will have to fire you from this television program. And he's like, you don't understand. I'm going to have my morning poop at home. And it's a good bathroom. And then I come into work. He was fired after the work. Are you kidding me? You used refuse and it was that timing too. It was like, I got a, I'm that regular but it is gonna be at home

then I will make the trip in. That's someone who had to take several tentoos where we made the, my brother and my brother and me show inside of an old closed down and haunted minz, uh, minzware store. I relate to this person intensely. I will accept. I had eyes on the, on the first day of our shoot, we're like, this is the first TV show we ever done. They're like, guys, if you need to go to the bathroom, just say 10, 1 and people will know. And they said, unless it's a, if that's for pee, if it's, if it's poop,

you say 10, 2, and I'm like, okay, great. Thank you so much. We're babes in the woods here. It wasn't until literally three forces of the way in about after three weeks did the thought occur to me. These guys don't need to know if I'm pooping or peeing in there. This is a trick.

They're just trying to figure out how, how relaxed can I be? How much time do I have into announcing my intentions And every every break that I had to go pee or poop I had to announce that to everybody I don't you turn your did you turn your mic off because I always I don't trust anybody not to listen Even though it's not that exciting. Yeah, okay, good every time. I'm not trying to get wiki leaked I want to know there's some I would rather someone listen to me poop than be the reason that my microphone was erroneously turned off at for a day. No, because they notice that other than that, also I talk a lot of shit about people behind their back. Yeah. I have to be really careful to yourself on the toilet in the bathroom where you are. Yeah. Time to talk shit and take

a shit. I'm on the phone talking shit while I take a shit all you are. Yeah. Time to talk and shit and take a shit. That's what I call it. I'm on the phone, talk and shit while I take a shit all the time, yes, that's just efficient. That's efficiency. Fully shot, I know you have to go hop on a plane, like almost immediately, so thank you so much for taking my call.

I really appreciate it. You guys are the light. Thank you. And when we do our fourth wing spin off, interpretative, why don't we do interpretive dances to each, you know, each scene? Okay. And interpretive dance on a podcast is a bold move and I fully support it.

Yeah, just a lot of fabric. Yeah, make sure you like have the microphones pressed up against you so people can hear the fabric wrestling. A lot of quarter-royce. I don't know. I need to talk about this book more. I might read it again on the plane. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with,

it just comes out of nowhere, the intercourse. And I was just like, oh! It, it really, you do not see it coming. More, much like the dragons streaking through the nice guy that you don't see until it's too late. The intercourse, it just comes out of nowhere, repeatedly, over and over and over again. Oh, a lot!

It's like, oh, the last third, you want your money's worth? Here you go. Okay. Okay, thank you. Please, thank you. Have a great trip. Travis, I grew up and look so bored.

I can't see. You guys just need to read this book. I don't have to listen. They don't have to listen. Yeah, I feel like I get it all now. Yeah, it's Dragon Sex. Oh, okay, it's awesome. It's awesome.

I think they're right. Yeah, it's awesome. Is there a sword? The dragons, that's very important. That's weird. Yeah, you're the dragons have sex with each other? And they're always watching. The dragons are always watching.

They are in their heads always watching, which is actually creepy now that I think about it. Yeah, that's pretty bad. Okay. Thanks, Felicia. All right. Third eye. Download it by. Thank you so much to our very special guest, Felicia. Today, uh, reminder about third eye Travis,

It's a Play-Doh's rave map poster size designed by Daniel Maigyo Birch, Maigyo Birch art on Instagram. And it is so fucking good. It looks cool, the design. It's full of little Easter eggs. on Instagram and it is so fucking good. It looks cool, the design. It's full little Easter eggs. It's like a little puzzle hunt for the mind.

And that's good. We also got canalites wrapping paper up there, designed by Justin Gray, burned a build on Instagram.
