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

Starting point is 00:02:26 Okay. Guys, I've been really frustrated thinking about the time we lost, not talking about Wonka. Time lost is like. Time lost. Time lost is what I say. Yeah, and I've been trying to make that okay with myself and God and I am trying to catch up
Starting point is 00:02:44 on all Wonka promotions. And it is my goal here with this show. Please just in Wonka motions. Wonka motions. Now, I'm just my goal here to catalog all of these that exist. So if you are in a place where you see
Starting point is 00:02:59 a Willie Wonka promotion, please, MBMBAM at maximumfund.org. I am only one person. So anything you see that is promoting the movie Wonka in a promotional tie-in way that you think is fun. Please pass along. I'll tell you what I've got right now. Can we just say, can we put, can we put,
Starting point is 00:03:18 as ambassador, I'm going to, if with Travis's permission, I'm going to sort of redirect some of travel, to become J. Dog's Wonka street team. And maybe what are you willing to give, Traffy 50%? Because that's a huge amount. I'm willing to raise the Wonka level to orange. Okay, cool. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And Traffination knows exactly what that means. So, mobilize street team. You're all wonken wank's now. Which I know that that word does I mean it, but it feels bad to say, I hate saying that word. I'm gonna play for y'all to see you can see the first thing. And this is sort of the biggest, like if you're talking about what are people what are people talking about?
Starting point is 00:04:04 What are they, you know, getting, getting excited for is, is this is the first one. Let me just let you guys get the audio here. Okay. I have and Wonka are dreaming up a magical new menu, magnificently mouthwatering items like Wonka's perfectly purple pancakes, like Wanko's perfectly purple pancakes. The fantastical Wankaburger. And of course, hover-chock pancake tacos. Every good thing in this world started with a dream. And now this one is a reality, owned at Ion.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Try the new Wankamenu for a limited time. Kids eat free from 4 to 10 p.m. It's almost an afterthought, which is so frustrating. It's almost an afterthought of, oh, and C1, why you're at it? And hey, while you're at IHOP, kids eat pre-forty-ten, I am so glad that they were able to get Timothy Shalamey for this one.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Timothy Balashay is on the ones and twos for this one. How do you audition that? We are looking for Timothy Shalamey, if you are out there. This is a Timothy Shalamey. If you are out there. This is a Timothy Shalamey alike, right? This is a... Oh, yeah, this is a... He's Shalamey bounding.
Starting point is 00:05:11 He's what he's doing. Yeah. It's a paint show. Timothy, sham away. Now here's the thing. I would fuck up those tacos, right? Sure. Pancake tacos looks great.
Starting point is 00:05:21 But I'm sitting here in a purple shirt with purple glasses and purple hair. Something should not be purple. Yeah. Those pancakes do not look at all advertising. They look like Play-Doh shit, my kids would make. Yeah, and I know something shouldn't be purple and that includes my stool.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, and when I eat these, when I eat a huge stack of these dyed purple pancakes, the my toilet is going to become sentient afterwards and be like, hey man, I've gone ahead and called the hospital. You need to go there as soon as you possibly can. I would also like to say I hop just for the record. Some bad things start from a dream too. So like, you can't just be like,
Starting point is 00:06:00 I had it in a dream, so it must be good. That's not inherently true. Selenium man came from dreams I think. So like, pretty Kr it in a dream, so it must be good. That's not inherently true. Seleniuman came from dreams, I think. So like, pretty Krueger. Come on, man. They are going so hard on that. What I enjoy about the commercial is the frequency with which they say, and of course,
Starting point is 00:06:17 or as you may have guessed, as you may have guessed, we're including hover chalk pancake tacos. The famous creation of the chocolate here, well, they won't get his perfectly purple pancakes. The burger was just kind of a burger though. How was it free, say? No, it's no simple burger, Gryffind.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It's the fantastical one, Kabe. Now let's go. We've steak burger with lettuce tomato onion pickles, four cheese blend, avocado, two stirs, bacon fried ash browns, Iop sauce and ranch drizzle on a bream. Okay, that's a ton of shit. I take a ton of shit. But I'm gonna, hold on, I'm gonna make you embarrassed
Starting point is 00:06:51 to be your words and deeds here. Let me give you a quick still of the fantastic Alonka burger so you can be aware of what a fucking clown you are. Look at that thing. That thing's so big. It's so, that's a salad on buns. I'm not, I'm, I've been a while since I've seen any of the previous 16
Starting point is 00:07:08 Waka movies, but I don't remember a scene where he was like this is the chocolate river. Here's the fizzy lifting drink. There's my grill. That's great. I grilled the burgers. It's my big big burger. Yeah, this is how many vegetables I got on that shit. I'm not just candy dudes. You see how many vegetables I got on that shit. I'm not just candy dudes. I'm multifaceted. Real quick other stuff, Trav, there is an official wonka of the movie Madlibs. I'm telling you that now,
Starting point is 00:07:36 just so you know that it is headed to your house in case you saw it today. It is already in the mail, gonna be at your home very soon. So that is a possibility. Justin and Zalas are letting each other know, I've also shipped Timothy Schallemay to you. So please, as soon as I forgot to put holes in it,
Starting point is 00:07:53 so as soon as they're, please open it right away. I feel terrible. You forgot to put holes in Timothy Schallemay. Yeah. Okay. If I asked you got, if your kids come to you guys after the ad, and they say, do they really make walk a candies. Wait, sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Are they running out? What you mean is they've handed a note to my butler and my butler has brought it to my feet. They don't address me directly. Right. Right. When next time you see the captain, would you please ask him? If you don't think I was busy running, travel nation.
Starting point is 00:08:21 I don't have time for my kids. When Travis wants to talk to his kids, he blows his special whistle, his special little penny slide whistle. Uh-huh. And the secret is that he chaps a little theme that he plays when it's time. What would you tell your kids?
Starting point is 00:08:38 If they're like, are there real long candies? What would you say right now? Don't look. Just, I would say, yeah, but they're pretty much just candy. Well, they're used to be everlasting gobs, I don't think they make the gobs topper candy anymore,
Starting point is 00:08:50 but I think you might want to buy it. But it doesn't, but that's the thing. Yeah, those are just tiny little job-breakers. I love a IRL gobs topper. It's a sugary, delectable treat. It does not look like that delightful galaxy of flavored spheres that is present in the original gene wilder film. I almost said Gene Shallet. He loves it though. That would be the one he's saying. I, yeah. That movie is pretty sweet. And that's Gene
Starting point is 00:09:22 Shallet. So, Wonka was a candy brand that was created by Quaker as part of their co-funding the movie with with Gene. They were co-partners on the movie because they were going to do Wonka candies, but Wonka got bought by Nestle. And then it was like everlasting gobsoppers, Wonka barsars, spree were under the Wanka name. You know, bottle cameras were Wanka. Nerds were Wanka. There is no Wanka, Nestle sold it,
Starting point is 00:09:53 there's no Wanka candies, except for one, they sold it to a candy called Ferreira. Who, oh, part of the deal was they get Wanka.com. So you are gonna see now what they are doing with wonka.com. You're going to freak out when you see this incredible line of candies. What?
Starting point is 00:10:15 Magic hat gummies. It's just the one it seems like. It's just this. Discover a new Wonka Magic hat gummies. A universe of timeless candies and magical experience for unexpected sweet delights. Taste the magic of Willy Wonka's deliciously magical world. There's one thing. That's one thing.
Starting point is 00:10:37 It's got goo in it and it says on the package. It says on the package, turns your on the package turns your tongue blue. That's not a selling point to any person. I feel like. And now, Trav, there is a big contest called Dream It and Do It. Yeah, that's what I was caught up in right there. Yeah, so I want you to read the three steps for how to enter right there. Do that read that law for me, please. Buy any pack.

I think that's also we're guessing there is red 31.

We take your questions and turn them out. We like to wisdom. So the warehouse I work at recently got a new pinball machine. And the first day it went up, I got a high score of 300,000. Represent. But the issue is that today I came in and the other workers here are calling the other Amy pinball Amy because they think she got the high score.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Oh God. Brothers, I want to get the recognition for being great at pinball, but I don't want to take this away from pinball Amy. That's from pinball problems in Pennsylvania. And it fucking sickens me that you did not sign that pinball Amy. Yeah, that's you. You've given up. Hey, can I just say, here he said out loud,
Starting point is 00:16:50 is this saying that other Amy, NPA, non-pinball Amy, the first time someone's like, hey, pinball Amy, Amy just went with it. It's like, yeah, I'm in ball Amy. That's what it sounds like. That's the problem, guys, you got to deal with the whole end of hour.
Starting point is 00:17:05 This is why you have to live your life honestly. Unwritten. Feel the rain on your skin. You have to live it honestly because now it's weird, isn't it? You know, because you didn't add to it. Honestly, in the moment, now it's weird. There's definitely going to be a moment where pinball, Amy, and non pinball, Amy are like the only two in the break grip.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And pinball, Amy is going pinball Amy are like the only two in the break grip and pinball Amy is gonna have to like so Do you want to talk about it? Do we pay so you know it's not you? You know is it hey is pinball off right now pinball? Is there yeah, that's what I'm saying every a monthly pinball off I think to just see who gets the who, who gets the title. By the way, pinball Amy is not. That's first idea. I feel like we could have done a much better name.
Starting point is 00:17:50 First I best thought, as they always say, this terrible doppelganger. Yeah, I think pinball Amy's great. And too much power has been applied to it now, and I think it is the permanent option. I think that you should maybe feel sad for this fraudster. Yeah. This, this, this Sinball Amy, if you will, because she did not have enough going on in her life to say, no, I'm not the pinball person. That's not me. I didn't do the pinball.
Starting point is 00:18:18 It does kind of sound like from the question, the question, answer, things that maybe pinball shaming needs this, better. Sinball shaming needs this. Sinball shaming needs this. And it's like, I don't want to take this away from the other. I have a lot going on in my life. I was already cool forklift trick, Amy, where I can do this thing, where I kind of spin it on one wheel while balancing a butt.
Starting point is 00:18:40 And I've already got forklift Amy going for me. And Sinball shaming needs this a little bit more than I do. Yeah, maybe she doesn't have a brand yet. That's powerful That's nice to let someone up but like it's I think the pinball off is the is the is the play I want to be pinball Amy for a while. Can we play for it? And you may be this brand new this person maybe has the yips a little bit that that 300 was like Flow state. Oh, yeah, we've been there. Yeah, that's you know, you can't get back there This is a pure and please don't quote that story about the guy who did a court battle to win pinball This is a game of chance. It's a ball rolling on it's chaos theory. So you anything could happen in the show
Starting point is 00:19:23 Roger Sharp. by the way. You've, we need to move on. Okay. From pinball, you can't be pinballing me. It's weird you didn't say anything and you probably won't be able to beat that high score ever. And now you don't have the pressure on you.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Who's got the pressure on them? Sinball, shamey. With her like, sinball, do it again. Let me see again. You're fine, you're fine. You're free. You know that you're pinballing me and that this person
Starting point is 00:19:45 is sin skull, shamey, but what you can do is buy a dance dance revolution machine and then you can be fucking DDR Amy if the naming convention continues. You may extend it out, just keep adding more arcade machines to the warehouse and eventually your arcade Amy now who's an arcade with in the warehouse workout?
Starting point is 00:20:06 I'm the dreamy, come play me in DDR, come battle the dreamy. Ramey, I need you to come to my office, please. You have been by our arcade machines. Why did you buy that Jurassic Park game where you sit in the truck and I guess shoot dinosaurs. Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot dinosaurs. 100 to kill. 100 to kill. Yeah, shoot to kill dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:20:26 It's great. You get a like and good. Did you get a claw machine and put Symbol Shamey's keys in it? That was not cool. Did you drink it? That's cool little. Did you clean out all the tampons
Starting point is 00:20:36 from Symbol Shamey's purse? Put them in the claw machine. That's fucking, that's fucking so twisted. Hey, can we approach the wizard? Yeah, please. I love that. Great. Shavon sent this in.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Thanks, Shavon. It's a wiki how article? Wiki how article? This one has 125,000 views on it. What? Which I guess for the internet is not. A lot of it has seven co-authors. A lot of cooks up in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:21:02 And they are going to teach us, oh, how to talk posh. The posh accent is used to describe how the upper class in England speak, but while it is associated with the upper class, the posh dialect has been embraced by members of the middle class in England and elsewhere, including the United States.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I'm pretty posh, I'm a posh gentleman. Well, I speak with this posh British accent all the time. Right, yeah. Let's maybe dive into some of the details on what qualifies as this posh British accent all the time. Right, yeah. Let's maybe dive into some of the details on what qualifies as a posh British accent before you say something like that. Because I don't know that you part one and incorporate posh words into your vocabulary.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Posh slang, like golly gosh, old bean, poppycock, poppycock, capital, or skyve. I don't know that one. Skape, Skape, Skape. Skape? I've never heard me say some of those words before, right? I've heard you say capital, but in reference to cities, I've never heard you shout it after eating, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:59 some sort of old-timey old beans. Beans, yeah. Old beans, skippy. Yeahivvy yeah juice is doing good so far yeah embrace posh st phrases and sayings one of the hallmarks of the posh dialect of the colorful phrases and sayings associated with it don't get your knickers in a twist show Throw a spanner in the works. That one doesn't feel posh to me. Don't do that one.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Jolly Good Show is fucking great. I don't like it. Show always rules. I wish I could say any of these things without giving something like the world's biggest douchebag. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't. I wish I could casually drop a Jolly Good show. You know, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:22:44 No, you did that. Hey, Griffin, you just nailed the delivery on that. Yeah. You're not selling a chop show. If I- Oh, he would play a jolly good show. If we were playing a game of bagos and I got a hole in one or whatever you call it,
Starting point is 00:22:57 with nothing but that, just a clean hole. And you said, yeah, Travis, try a good show. I would be chuffed. All right, but that's you. You understand that you're not the baseline type of person who I would bounce this type of stuff off of, right? Right. Wait, you've got me.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Who are you bouncing out? Who do you feel safer with than me to practice your posh turns of phrase? I'm saying, you're gonna, Travis, I'm saying you're gonna green light some shit. That is not going to be a door to that. I'm not a reliable test subject. This is what you said.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Not at all Travis. Not at all. You are a yes man focus group for some of my worst creative and personal impulses. I believe in you. I would say incentivized to watch you sort of fall right on your ass. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:44 So they answer questions. Do not you dare, how dare you infer any kind of to watch you sort of fall right on your ass. Right, it's a big issue. Do not, do not you dare, how dare you infer any kind of malice in my support of ancient Griffiths of death. That's not true, that's not true, but it doesn't change the fact that Travis to answer your question of, if not you, maybe anyone else
Starting point is 00:23:58 might have played it. Maybe any other living human being, but you. Listen, I'm a positive guy and I believe in you, Griffin. And I'm sorry that maybe some other haters on this show don't support you the way that I do. But I believe in you. As it, as a Travis, as my, as the wind beneath my wings,
Starting point is 00:24:19 that's great. I'm just not gonna let you pile it the bird. Do you know what I mean? I'm barely sort of. I Do you know what I mean? I'm barely. Sort of. I sort of know what you mean. Yeah. Use some words that might seem formula or add to date. So far, these first three things are the same fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Yeah, it's the word of impugn your grade study hard. Okay, some of the words they include here are CD, rubbish and Fortnite. I'm already saying that all the fucking. I said, how about Fortnite constantly? I would scratch that third one actually off. Just for, I think it's been stolen. Co-opted, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Okay, so let's get into pronouncing words, and this is something that could be interactive for all of us. Okay. Say and and, like an A sound. Poshpeakers will substitute, oh, they've done a typo here. Poshpeakers will substitute A sounds for A've done a typo here. Poshpeakers will substitute a sounds for A.
Starting point is 00:25:08 They'll do this in a variety of words. For example, pronounce, thank, as, thank, thank, thank, pronounce, I don't think that's true. Pronounced man as men. That's a different word. You've changed the word pretty dramatically there pronounce angry as angry Ingrid in Graham don't get
Starting point is 00:25:32 Graham Thank you do you oh you're the man don't you Mean thank you. Oh, Jolly good student, yeah. Decode my ingrams. Oh, you're kidding me. Give me a heroic card. I'm kidding. Kim and Jesus. This is Kim and Jesus.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Kim and Jesus are in Jesus. Decode my ingrams. Give me the light. Give me the shirt, Chad, donkey. He's the same. You need to stand, Chad Donkey. You need to see the five steps for him. It's not my big donkey. Me, wee. Oh, listen to me.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Pronouncing the e at the end of some words as an E. When pronouncing final e-board sound in a word, such as the e and picky are particularly the sound. Big E. Big E. I don't think this is right. Big E.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Big E. Quickly should sound more like quickly. Sorry. It sounds more like sorry. Sorry. It sounds more like. Barley. But wait, Barley?
Starting point is 00:26:43 Why? Hey, Barley. It sounds like Barley. It sounds like Barley. I, Barley? Why, Barley? Don't take me out of the seat. I'm like, Barley. I never- It comes up and posh society a lot, so. I guess. Would you like some steamed Barley?
Starting point is 00:26:54 Lengthen the U sound in some words. They don't say how much. Oh no, I'm sorry, they do. New should have a longer U. Extend the sound by a second. A second? So instead of a new, it would be new. That was, yeah, that's gonna get on,
Starting point is 00:27:14 if you are talking about a thing that has a lot of U sounds in it, if you're talking about this. They have a new kangaroo at the zoo. Yeah, that's gonna be rough to sit through. I'm gonna need a snack to make it through that sentence. Do not, do not, ununcinate the W in words that end in word. People who speak posh tend to gloss over the wuh sound in certain words.
Starting point is 00:27:40 To the average listener, it sounds as if a posh chocker is not even pronouncing the wuh. For example, shower, maybe pronounced char, power, maybe pronounced par. This is a bit, are the seven authors of this, like, brits? Who are like, hey guys, we're gonna get them. Because this is a fucking razz. None of this is true. Flower is pronounced flour.
Starting point is 00:28:00 What are? What are, are, are, are, are posh, does the author of this think that the posh people were the ones in steerage on the Titanic? I'm very confused by some of these choices. Yeah, this is not shower, but shower. Sure. I don't think that's it guys.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Lake than vowels at the end of a sentence. So it doesn't, I guess they could have just said this instead of specifically saying the thing about o's and ease. I guess they could have just said this instead of specifically saying the thing about o's and e's. Yeah, they could have just said vowels in general. So, oh, really would be, oh, really? I'm doing absolutely fabulous would be, and I'm gonna do my best with this one, guys. I am doing absolutely fabulous.
Starting point is 00:28:41 S. And there's five hyphens in that word to show you where the emphasis is, which is super helpful. So for my new... How posh did I just sound? How fucking fancy. Hey, how posh am I?
Starting point is 00:28:52 For my new movie, Wanka, I tried something new and I'm gonna do, I decided that I would do kind of a posh voice for Willie. So rather than bring me my chocolate you grant. It's more like Wait, he has a chocolate you grant no chocolate you get brings it the She can't notice that you're eating my arms and legs Oh, you're eating my beautiful blue eyes right out of the sockets. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:28 None of us are willing to commit to a Hugh Grant voice. It's close. I tried. Me and Justin both were like, hell yeah baby, time to do my Hugh Grant and then we step foot into the pool and we were like, oh, I don't know how to swim in the water. Oh, we were. You see, I think we are keeping plausible to liability.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Like what? What? And a later time we get in a court of law, we get insist that was not a U-graded bret. Yeah. Travis, did you want to do one? I'm sorry, we stepped all over you. I got to try.
Starting point is 00:29:59 But now, but here, look, the same thing happened to Travis where he started to do one, but then we talked over him and he stopped. I bet you don't wanna, I bet you feel less confident now in your humor. Let me give myself in a place where I pretend like nothing else. You can't think on Hugh Grant, you get to sneak up on him. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:30:16 That's true in life as well. Sneak up on that. He is constantly got his head on a swivel. If you wanna cast or if you grant, you got to be on him. It doesn't seem like if I walked into a room where she did, you seem to be eating my arms and legs. This is, it's not bad, it's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:30:30 It's better than money you can edit. She's an idiot. I'd rather fail this. I am committing if nothing else. Watch movies and television shows. One of the easiest ways to pick up the posh dialect is to listen to how it's spoken in movies and TV. Oh yeah, people love when you do that.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Casa Blanca, Bridget Jones Diary. Casa Blanca, Casa Blanca, Casablan. Cossablanka, Bridget Jones Diary. Cossablanka, kissa blanke! Blanke, kissa blanke! Kissa blanke? You know how posh, Cossablanka is? What have you taken the absolutely wrong thing? You're like, oh yes, sweetheart, I'm really fine.
Starting point is 00:31:01 I'm a posh guy. I have never seen Cossablanca and it's too late for me to do it now, I feel like. Based on what? The fact that I'm 36 years old, and I am basically dead. Casablanca. No, it's just that it's something to hear.
Starting point is 00:31:17 My defense though, is that it seems wicked, fucking boring, everything I've ever seen. No, there's a space battle in there. They never show that, but the space battle against the giant lizard spiders is incredible. Just the name Humphrey Bogart. It's not something I wanna be associated with. You're on the wrong side of this.
Starting point is 00:31:37 I'm so worried about, I don't know how many times you finished the remake of Resident Evil 4. You know what I mean? That's what's fucking with me right now. A posh game, if you ask me. Eschli, Resident Evil! Resident Evil!
Starting point is 00:31:54 Moistra of unlocking. Alright. So watch movies and television shows. Kassablanca, Bridget Jones, Diary, Maiden, Chelsea. We can toss some more on here. Johnny English. One and two. The older man versus B. Man versus B.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean. Love actually is actually a pretty good answer. There's a lot of different. Okay, not that one. Sorry. My bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Star Wars. Yeah. Huge. Fight Club. Yep. That one just kicks ass. That one. That's just. Fight Club. Yep. That one just kicks ass. That was just a good one. That one's not gonna help you with this,
Starting point is 00:32:29 but it kicks ass fucking flip. I think my favorite thing, just to jump in real quick, my favorite thing about Fight Club is how there's no subtext or satire or irony whatsoever. Just dudes fucking fighting. I know.
Starting point is 00:32:40 I know. It's just dudes fucking fighting. I know. I know. It's just a fight. It's just a fight., fight it. Yeah, it's cool. Straight forward. Hang around others who talk posh. Anyone who tries to learn a foreign language knows that the best way to learn
Starting point is 00:32:51 is to surround yourself with people who speak that language. That's not what this is. That isn't what this is. Hey, we've found a lot of ads for people who will teach you foreign language. It's never like, you can learn German or Spanish or sound like somebody's trying to sound
Starting point is 00:33:05 Bush. Yeah. Yeah. What if a posh? Why? This is the problem for me to hang out with posh people. posh people have to want to hang out with me. And I sound like a fucking maroon. I sound like an absolute door. No, that one of the hallmarks of being posh Justin is having very large ducks in your walls. You can hang out in the ductwork for hours around posth people and they'll never know. That Travis, thank you again. Your wisdom is a balm to a weary soul. Of course, I will hide in the walls with a posthus person's house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Yeah. Did you hear something from the ceiling? I have heavy breathing coming from the air conditioning, then. How fucking cold would it be? If, if do you guys remember, this is like eight years ago, when everybody, I think Jesse Thorn was a first person and then everybody got into Downton Abbey. Remember that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Well, what if like a couple months into that, you started seeing stuff on Reddit that was like, you guys are going to think I'm fucking with you. But if you look at these shots, they're clearly, there is clearly a person in the walls of the house. Like, look here, you can actually see, he comes out of the duct that Lord, Lord, let's Millicent Crawley is talking to the,
Starting point is 00:34:16 the footbutler, and you can see he skitters, he comes out of the vent, and you can see him skitter across the ceiling. Wait, no, pause it, pause it. See right there, you see a hand taking the cookie, right? Who took the cookie? There's no one in the room. There's no one in the room.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It's the Duchess of Yorkshire and his elegant lordship, Alistair Plain. And there's no one else in the room. Who took the cookie? It's the point of the walls. If you look in Lord Grantham's chair, someone has been embroidered into it. So that Lord Grantham sits in his lap every time
Starting point is 00:34:52 that he sits down. I swear to God, look at the outlines, look at the shadows. And every so often, they'll just say, oh, that was Douglas, but who's Douglas? Do they notice? They frequently will say, quiet, he's listening. And there's three minutes of silence in the show.
Starting point is 00:35:07 That's about the kid in the walls. Yeah. The kid in the wall have done that. Yeah. Um. Okay, Griff Howles, can we sell? That's it, that's it, that's the last. It practiced a lot.

I work as a data engineer within a small but fairly new team. We recently finished a major project, and as a team are going out for celebratory meal
Starting point is 00:41:57 and drinks at a stake restaurant. Issues I'm a vegetarian, and most of my team, or rarely seen in person, don't know this. The table is already booked and outside of a simple salad, the restaurant does not do vegetarian dishes. None of these would mean issue. I'd bite the bullet and force down a steak so that I don't make anyone feel bad
Starting point is 00:42:13 for accidentally excluding me. However, one other person going might know I'm a vegetarian and I don't know if I can trust him not to ruin the vibe by bringing it up. Brothers, how do I get through this evening without making people feel bad? Any way to do it without eating meat. That's from imperiled across the pond.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Yes. Okay. Yes. Listen, here's the thing. They don't know, I know. It makes you feel like a cheater sometimes. No, no, no, no. You always have to watch smart things to say.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Once in every 689 episodes, I'd like to actually help someone with an actual actionable answer. Let's see. Two words by call ahead. You're gonna call the restaurant. You're gonna say, hey, I'm coming in. We have a reservation for this night.
Starting point is 00:42:56 I'm a vegetarian. Is there any way that you can accommodate that? And if they're like, hey, I'm not able to, then you say, okay, would it be all right if I brought in food for myself? No. And you can serve it. Oh, okay, hold on, no, I'm not able to. Then you say, okay, would it be all right if I brought in food for myself? No. And you can serve it. Oh, okay, hold on, no, okay, okay, trap.
Starting point is 00:43:09 You were on such a hot street that you were in second. It was so good and so good. You suggested they bring a fucking Tupperware full of baby carrots and ranch dip. You cannot, Travis, you cannot. You can't. This person saying, I want to seem normal. Please, please brothers, help me seem normal.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Is there any way we could pretend I didn't say the second half of the thing I said? No, Travis. No, no, no. Hold on, Griff, if it don't rush in a judgment, okay, you may need this service later. Don't just immediately dismiss Travis's request for clemency. I don't want to undo the good suggestion
Starting point is 00:43:40 with my so worked up about it. Yeah, I don't want to blow up. I'm just saying that if I was like, hey, I brought in some delicious veggie risotto, could you please bring it out to me with everybody else and tell me what a good boy I am for ordering it off the menu. Travis, there is no, okay, wait, stop it.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I need to clarify what you are suggesting because it has gone from bad to a calamitous in a way that I'm not- I want to, no, that's just no. No one agrees. You're actually not allowed to- No, you a way that I know that suggestion. No, no one graces. You're actually not allowed to have the first one is the first one's also having some issues. Now, you circled back around it in a way that is extremely troubling. So let me, you are suggesting not that you bring in your own Tupperware of veggie risotto.
Starting point is 00:44:19 You are saying that as you come in, you have it underneath your code and then you pass it off to the chef and you're like you You then get a whole lot of what you say now listen I'm gonna stoned face or And I need you to just bring it no questions asked and here's the second part if anyone else is like ooh that sounds good I'll have that there There is not enough. They just ordered the last, we got an 86, the risotto.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Sorry guys, we just 86 are all men. We've got a special tonight. It's one order of risotto for that guy. It's an open year. That's the other issue. It's, what are your coworkers will be like, oh, that's weird, I don't see Vesha risotto on my menu.
Starting point is 00:45:03 You're gonna have to grab them in you out of your hands and be like, come on, let me see it real quick. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho I fucking love steak, but I'm wicked curious about this one dish that they have. That's the thing I like most is exclusivity. Right, I want no one else to get this. I don't think of all the options that you can go with here. Let's go ahead and black ball eating a steak. Yes, correct. One, I don't think you should compromise your lifestyle for people who you work with. In general, for any reason.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Two, if you have been a vegetarian for a long time and you decide to get back into the game with a steak, you're gonna have to, that's like pure beef, that's too much beef. That's pure beef, you don't produce the right juices inside you anymore to handle pure beef. Yeah. That's like ending a water fast with a curter burger.
Starting point is 00:46:12 You just can't. Yeah. Can we also, hey, listen, it's 2023 is an end of dominating 2023. We're at a point now where people should be like, hey, this is where we're thinking about going to dinner as a small team. Does that work for everyone? Yeah, but it's the UK. They're posh, you know. Oh, that's true.
Starting point is 00:46:34 They're posh, they don't think about people. Okay, you know how about this? Hey, it's 2023. Steakhouse, more than salad. Something else. I have a good news. Veggie, Rosota, maybe. Have you considered Vegie risotto?
Starting point is 00:46:46 They do have good news on that front. One thing, I don't normal, I don't love steak houses as a rule. I don't love the fetishization of like extremely expensive cuts of steak. I think a lot of it's like fake news a little bit. I think it's good if you cut steak news. I don't. Steak news a little bit. But think it sticks good if you, cause fake news. I know, fake news a little bit,
Starting point is 00:47:07 but I'll hear as far as I will say about they are gonna have some fucking Primo croutons. This is a 100% no exaggeration Travis has been to many sick houses and I'm pretty sure he agrees to me. The croutons they have at this place are gonna absolutely kick your ass. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:26 And also, they know how to make vegetables taste delicious in a way where they're almost meat, where it's like, we took theparagus, but don't worry. We soaked it in butter and put a bunch of different shit on it. You won't even know it's aparagus. This is not gonna... This is not, unless it's some sort of weird,
Starting point is 00:47:42 you know, there's that the weird militant places about toppings, there's that a hot dog place that used to be up in Fairmont that had a big no ketchup sign printed on the pavement outside up in West Virginia. They had a big no ketchup sign printed on the pavement outside. So you would know that you cannot get ketchup on a hot dog at this establishment is a rule. I don't think the the place is going to be like that. I think they're going to be like, oh yeah, we've heard about this before in the past 50 years. Yeah, we wilded them and we're like,
Starting point is 00:48:13 you're actually the first person we've ever heard of. Don't say it again, you don't eat meat. Do you drink it? What do you mean? You another option is you could order a big steak, but also order a salad and eat lots of rolls. And then when the steak shows up, be like, ah, fuck, I'll fill it up. Ah, man, I wish I hadn't filled up on all the salad and rolls. And if the salad and rolls aren't enough to fill you up,
Starting point is 00:48:38 beforehand, you're gonna wanna get like your consigliary to hide a vegetable risotto in the tank. That's so that'll be great. So they bring, let me get this straight, if they bring the steak and then you're like, Oh, it's hoofal. And then at that moment, the ghost of the cow is like, perfect. This is just what I, this is just what I hope for.
Starting point is 00:49:02 But you know, they can't cut a piece and then walk away and leave me for the rest, right? Like, I gotta die once. Then you need to tell the server to bring it covered in a, bring an empty plate covered in a cloche. And then when it shows up, you pull up the cloche, if you can have them put a little bit of steam under there
Starting point is 00:49:19 for you and you hide it like you're playing Texas hold them and just kinda open the cloche and look under it and be like, fuck, that looks really good, but I am just too full. And you have them take it away. No one's that's a luxury. You yummy down in your salad. And you go to your toilet risotto. Yeah, in silence.
Starting point is 00:49:33 You yummy down on your rolls and your lettuce. The steak sitting there untouched. Somebody's like, aren't you gonna eat your steak? And you say, oh, that was for the table. I got that for the table. That's a table steak. That's a table steak. That's not gonna do it Because they're gonna know that you didn't eat your steak and hey, you can talk to the chef for a second
Starting point is 00:49:51 Could you get a piece like sourdough bread and just like soak it in chocolate sauce and then bring it out on a plate for me and I'll like cut into them back cook perfectly Bring maybe a glossy JPEG on a plate of a steak and just say like I owe you one steak. Do you have a 3D printer? Could you 3D print me a steak please? I love it. You could cut up little pieces of your steak
Starting point is 00:50:16 and keep hiding it on the plates of your cohort. Oh yeah, like in Shawshank Redemption. Just like in Shawshank Redemption. Exactly like in Shawshank Redemption. I met my aunt's house to visit her and my grandfather. And when I walked into the house that took my shoes off, I live in a no-shoes house. So this is just what I do when I walk into someone's home.
Starting point is 00:50:33 However, you live in a house. No, yes. I have a shoes house. I don't care. You've never fucking said that to me before. Well, you just take them off. You're very polite. I'm just telling you this whole time,
Starting point is 00:50:45 I could have been rocking my off court buddies in your house and living the life of a person. Now that I say it, I don't think I actually am. I think I am. Yeah, you are not. No, I'm not. But I'm not like weird about it, right? I'm not like, take your shoes off.
Starting point is 00:50:57 You know what I mean? Like I'm not gonna be like, this is off. Here's what I hate. And to, sorry, we'll finish this question someday. But I hate when someone walks in my house like, I take my shoes off in my heart the answer is It's a house. Yeah, please. Yeah I'm there for all the dirt is yeah, why are they making you the weirdo?
Starting point is 00:51:16 Right? Yeah, let me look by the front door. What's there? That's a bunch of fucking shoes We have so many shoes here. It seems like maybe you could follow the clues, save the cheerleader, save the world, take your shoes off. This is a house where we live. What I would rather is take my shoes off and having them go, no, please leave them on because now I'm not the weird one at all. When the two of you guys are living with me for the holidays,
Starting point is 00:51:42 I just designed myself that I'm always gonna be cleaning up just constantly, because YouTube, pigs, you monsters are just going hog while putting your shoes. That's all I haven't get. Put your shoes on the floor, you put your shoes, wherever you please, right there on the closet. I've also, you know what I think part of the problem with this question is, is that I haven't finished it?
Starting point is 00:52:01 No, I'm five year old. So my standards for human behavior are lowered so much. The idea that someone would take their shoes off in my home feels like too good for me. Like, I'm not- Let alone take them off at the same location. Oh, the dream. Just pick.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Not shoes dead drops located throughout the first floor of the home. Yeah, just do like my kids, if you could just pick, take them off your feet and throw them at the wall in very different places, that would be perfect. Maybe one's in the bathroom, maybe one's in the back porch. I don't know. That'd be good. Just throw them both up into the ceiling fan and then like God decide. And when you can't find them later, make sure you get fucking furious. And then suggest to wear the shoes that are two sizes too small and covered in glitter. Thank you. And if you would cry, sorry, yeah, really make it my problem.
Starting point is 00:52:50 However, I've been in here for a while now and everyone else has their shoes on, including my aunt and her husband. Do I put my shoes back on? I'm worried they'll make people think I'm getting ready to leave and known as mentioned that I'm shoeless, but I'm starting to feel a bit awkward. That's from wrong footed in Harrisburg. Well, we must assume, we must assume a baseline level of socks.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Yes. We ask. The trajectory of this question changes so much from, I only see socks wearing person versus my sticky dirty feet, my nasty little guys. Yeah, my little piggies are out and oh, wig a lid. Unless you're fresh out of the pool and you just kicked off your flip flops, then everybody, it's weird that everybody else is doing.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Yeah, try us if you're showering too. Like what are you talking about? Like, yeah. One shoe at a time back on. You got space and out. No one's going to think you're leaving with only one shoe on. That's true. And then 20 minutes later you put the second shoe on. Then as far as they remember, you've always had shoes on. That will work. That will work. I'm not. I'm not. It's like sandals.
Starting point is 00:53:59 No, no, that won't work. That won't work. That didn't work. Yeah. Nah, nah, that won't work. That won't work. Okay, I did it work. Yeah. What about, okay, I'm gonna give you guys, I'm gonna give you guys some scenarios and I need you to tell me shoes or no shoes. Okay. Okay, you enter a party at a friend's house. Okay. How big a party? How many people?
Starting point is 00:54:27 There's 20 people at the party. She's on. Okay, no wait, no wait. There's five people at the party. She's off. That's weird, right? Well, as you said, we just say three of you. 20 people.
Starting point is 00:54:41 That's a lot of feet. That's 40 feet probably. But the four is the four and the feet are the feet. Now it's sides to the outside. Where did we just say like, it's gonna be fucking dirty. Just is. I can't police all you people.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Just wear them. But I also assume 20, a certain height and level of like occasion, right? Where if I looked over and you didn't have like a three-piece suit and dress socks, but no shoes? Yes. I assume that they're inebriated. Well, if there's 20 people over to watch the big game.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Shoes on. It doesn't matter. It's 20 people, Travis. Justin, that's probably around 40 shoes. Where are you gonna put those? Where those go? Where do those go? In the big shoe sack and then you shake it up,
Starting point is 00:55:26 and you pull one out, and that's where you go home with Griffin. Those are the rules, I don't make them up. Okay, now I need you guys to answer this next series. Don't ever think it, just answer. Okay. You're on a plane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Shrusson. Shrusson, I'm gonna keep you, you qualifiers. You're on a plane. Okay. Okay. You're on a plane and it's a cross, the transatlantic flight, it's like eight hours. Okay, shoes on.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Who am I sit, no, I need so many more fucking shoes. Yeah, there's qualifiers that would change though. If I'm fucking three deep in the window and I have two trusted associates in the seats next to me, if I'm buffered from the rest of the plane by two people who I love and who love me, shoes off. Okay. That's the only situation.
Starting point is 00:56:11 If I see, no. If they have taken pity on me and said, like, hey, you seem like a special boy and we've upgraded you to those seats that turn into beds. Shoes off. If I'm sitting like cattle, if I am one of the chickens in an Indiana Jones
Starting point is 00:56:25 ask airplane with other people around me, I have double shoes on if I could. I would put shoes on and I would bag these on, like I'm going to a CSI location. Yeah, when it's a bed situation, then the rules of bed override the rules of of plane. The rules of bed are pretty firmly no shoes. I can't think of a situation where
Starting point is 00:56:47 bed shoes is appropriate or acceptable. Okay, I would also say if a lengthy enough, like an eight hour flight, right, there's a time at which the existence of, we're all on a plane together, becomes like we're stuck in limbo together. And then as you get nearer to land, then you're like, wait, what is,
Starting point is 00:57:04 I gotta pull myself back for this. Yeah, it is, it, reality starts to set in, right, you're kind of in a liminal space and then as you're landing, you're like, well, they can't see me with my shoes off now. Right. If I'm earlier, it was fine. Now I'm, let me add one more twist to the mix.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Okay. Are you rocking some big stinky honkers down there? Because if that's the case, I would prefer you keep your shoes on. I think if you rocking some big stinky honkers down there? Because if that's the case, I would prefer you keep your shoes on. I think because of the size of their feet. It's not about the size of the feet. I'm talking about the, sorry, stinky honkers more as a modifier of the smell coming out of it, not like big, big feet. Okay. Okay. If the feet smell bad, I'm punching the room. Yeah, I think stinky feet also sort of overrides bed shoes rules of like even if you're in bed,
Starting point is 00:57:50 if you're surrounded by 200 people in an enclosed space, if you're in an enclosed bed with 200 people, keep your shoes on. Keep your fucking shoes on. If it's a bad scent in there. Fair enough. This all seems very fair. I will also say this though,
Starting point is 00:58:06 the fact of matter is, no one's ever taken their shoes off and someone else has said, thank you on an airplane. That's never happened. That's true. You have never thought, God, I wish this guy next to you would take your shoes off.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Yeah, it's not like that. Whether you decide to or not, no one's relieved. No, yeah. I'm sure if you do say that out loud, the air marshal will just do. Hey, what you think? Hey, what you think?
Starting point is 00:58:30 Elbow the guy next to him, like, hey, we need to do this at the same time. Neither one of us is going to be the first one to do it. Yeah, cool. Yeah, we've been on this plane for hours now. We're both ready to go to sleep. I don't know you, you don't know me. It's the equivalent of like the Hitchcock movie where it's like,
Starting point is 00:58:44 I'll kill your wife, you kill my wife. Except it's like, we have to take our shoes off at the same time so we can't judge each other. And then people will assume we know something they don't. Everyone's perfect in shoes off. Go up to the pilot, grab the radio, say, what's up everyone, is Griffin over in 13E. What's up, Travis?
Starting point is 00:59:01 What's up Travis? What's up Travis? It's Griffin over in 13E. Here's what I'm thinking. What's up? Travel nation. It's Griffin over in 13 E. Here's what I'm thinking. I want to pop my shoes off. I do not have big stinking hollets. You guys see money playing? So you have just kind of like money playing
Starting point is 00:59:13 except bear feet go baby. So Griffin, yeah, just so I'm clear, you have it prior to this, come to the flight attendant and say, hi, I need to make an announcement. It's a normal thing. It's nothing. I need you to let me in there, but it's normal.
Starting point is 00:59:26 I need access to the copy and the pilots during the flight. But trust me, I'm cool. Omelie, because I'm worried they'll try to override it. So I need to go in there and use their microphone because I know they have one. It's about shoes, a thing that's never concerned airplanes ever. Yeah, no big deal.
Starting point is 00:59:43 I would say, I just like- I didn't give instructions to a bunch of the people on the plane, right? So that we do something simultaneously. Right. Can I take my shoes off? But then we so relieved that that's what it was, and they're like, oh yeah, I should have the announcement.
Starting point is 00:59:58 I should have asked first. I should have asked for it. But then if you say that, then the flight tickets gonna be like, well, you got to ask everyone else. That can, then the flight tickets can be like, well, you've got to ask everyone else. The keys, your microphone, they'll be like, no, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go It's right in a wrap. Just let everyone know about an hour and a half and I'm gonna take my shoes off. So if you guys wanna take your shoes off, it's cool. It says here on the safety card to take your shoes off. And that's in there to be safe for the planes.
Starting point is 01:00:34 So everyone's up. Man, it is too light in the show to have such a good idea. It's such a good idea. No, 40 in flip. Finally, we pulled it out. We're gonna get it together. It's too light in the show to have such a good idea. You should be, you know, 40 slip. Finally, we pulled it out. We're getting together. It's too late. This should have such a good idea.
Starting point is 01:00:46 You should be, you know, the seats have the screens in front of them. On most planes, you got the screens. You should be able to at any point during the flight, some in the tribunal. And you should be able to say like, push a button. I'm commencing a shoe tribunal. And then everybody gets all the question like the whole play is like yes or no We're voting now and you can change other policies on like Double pretzels right when they come around like all what double pretzels. We agreed on it
