Whoa, whoa. The media print, the print media has really let us all down. Today, and today, this week, maybe always,

Hey, don't like, what is that? They've really porch the puppy on this one. No, I'm the first time someone said it. Everyone in the room should have turned them like, excuse me. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:01:54 There's copy editing issues and typos all over these fucking wonka reviews, guys. Oh, yeah. Okay, you're gonna have to speak to that, please. There's just typos about, like do they not have someone who reads these before they put them up to catch all the typos? Because in the, let me read the,
Starting point is 00:02:14 is the head, this, this is the headline of the Vulture Review. Wanka, Wanka, dot, dot, is pretty good. That's a typo. That's it. That's a huge and terrible, Like a wanka, dot, dot, is pretty good. That's a typo. That's it? That's a huge and terrible, maybe auto correct typo because it obviously meant to say really good. Is super duper good.
Starting point is 00:02:36 And guys, I'm looking at this rot and tomato score. Can this be right? Wait, hold on, what is it? Can this be right? It feels so... It feels so... That 84% feels pretty fucking good to me, man, because I'm looking at a picture.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I'm looking at a picture of Oompa Loompa Hugh Grant, and I'm thinking 84% seems pretty good. I think. Wow. Out of 165 reviews, also, I didn't know there are 165 publications in the world that reviewed movies. Yeah, like walkbusters.com came out of retirement to review Wonka.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Everything, every review I'm seeing at this one is like, it's pretty good. It's not great. The Vox movie review reads, Timothy Shalame is not your grandpa's Willie Wonka. I was not aware that my grandpa had his own discreet Willie Wonka, that's exciting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:34 So does that mean that Johnny Depp was my Willie Wonka? Because fuck that bro. Was there a Willie Wonka before? Well, I guess the book Willie Wonka. That's my grandpa's Willie Wonka. That's my grandpa's will he won't go. That's my grandpa's will he won't go. And just checking in on an update from Star Hugh Grant. Just again, I just this week, he called wonka, he called wonka drivel, said he couldn't
Starting point is 00:04:01 have hated the whole thing more. And guys, there's the new quote that is absolutely burning up the charts I have lots of children and need the money I saw him say because a hundred thousand say the quiet part out loud you grand What are you gonna do not cast you grant anymore right? You got I don't like being in the movies. You're not gonna cast me on them? It was like a fucking crown of thorns. Do you understand the experience this man had
Starting point is 00:04:31 making this film? Do you know who else wore a crown of thorns? Jesus Christ, who was also crucified by the press. In the Passion of the Christ. Jim Kovizel got it bad, baby. But this film, guys, this is the last chance we all have to not have seen Willy Wonka. And Dan has done went and released a clip where there it looks like he's got some folks
Starting point is 00:04:54 in what seems to be the world of pure imagination eating all the things everything's edible, but here's the thing guys, the food is poison. And that's not me interpreting what happens in the scene. I'm saying there's a moment where Timothy Chalamet hops up on a little mound and yells, everybody, it's poisoned with ice. It's been poisoned with Yeti sweat. As we know, makes everybody's hair grow rapidly
Starting point is 00:05:22 with wild colors. I wanna say one thing. I got a package this week. As did I. From Random House. Yes. Penguin Random House. And they were so appreciative of me talking about the Wonka Madlibs book
Starting point is 00:05:36 that they sent me Willie Wonka and the Chalka Factory, the Rit or as Charlie and the Chalka Factory, I guess the original, a Willie Wonka Madlibs and where's Wonka? And I know, which is like Willie Wonka, but it's like where's Waddle-Waddle-Waddle. And I just wanna say folks, that's how you do it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:56 We're out here talking about these brands for free. And finally, someone at Wonka HQ is like, I gotta get some free stuff to these guys. Yeah, huge for him. You at home? You're sitting there thinking, I have no the Macri brothers for nine on 14 years now, almost a decade and a half.
Starting point is 00:06:13 How do they truly feel about the Wonka movie? I don't know. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Yeah. I'm 84% certain it's gonna be good. I haven't seen it yet. I don't know if I'm going to The embargo on this one the embargo on this one just went up like an hour ago
Starting point is 00:06:31 So choose I'm gonna need your finger on the f5 button keeping us abreast of any changes. Hey, okay over there I would need to be my won't could Nate silver fucking keep it on I on those stacks for me making sure that if it does You guys need we're currently sitting 166 reviews 84% for it. Okay, I'm just saying, every 10 minutes we dip back in, just to make sure that it hasn't gone either way, because if they hit 85, Hugh Grant gets paid for the movie.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I bet we could get Hugh Grant. On my brother, my brother and me. He has, in his quote, entered the freak show stage of his career, which I fucking, that's a great line also from Hugh Grant doing some doing the Lord's work in these junkets folks. In a year where he was also in a Dungeons and Dragons movie. Fuck yeah. Like who would have thought that he'd be like, no, no, no, the one I'm less proud of his wonka. Yeah, what my real is, shame. I just, it's like, this is why it's so hard
Starting point is 00:07:28 to get a job as an actor. If you don't, if Hugh Grant is saying, don't put me in the movie, I don't like to do them. Yeah, I just need the money, but I don't wanna do the movie. And they're like, you got the point. You got it. If you actually go back through his history,
Starting point is 00:07:42 if you look, I'm actually reading an interview from a junket for Notting Hill right now. And he said acting in this movie was like a crown of thorns. So he hates acting so much. Travis, you referencing the poisons, maybe you want to see like a drama, a drama, a wonka just with like,
Starting point is 00:08:05 and it's just one day like Aaron Sorkin dialogue of just like a recall that wankha has to go, wankha has to recall all of his chocolate bars. And there's so much castle entry happening and so much trying to shift the blame onto the Oompa Loompas perhaps. There's something very powerful there. See now Griffin, I was gonna pitch a locked room mystery,
Starting point is 00:08:28 a real quarrel, like maybe even a crossover, get Kenneth Branon there, right? Poro being like somebody's been murdered. Yeah. Watching a detective try to make sense of like, and then they lick, sorry, they lick the wallpaper? Yeah, yeah. You had him lick the wallpaper. Yeah, yeah, you had them lick the wallpaper.
Starting point is 00:08:45 What do I do with this? The fucking perfect crime. The perfect crime is that Willie Wonka's in his imagination factory. Right. And he gets a sharpened candy cane, right? Murder somebody. Yeah, he eats it.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Oh my god. You will never, you'll never, you'll never find. Now, I will say the one issue. Did you get a camera there? No, there's not a camera there. He eats like there is. There is a fleet of helpers who work with four Wonka at the factory who after each murder comes out
Starting point is 00:09:19 and be like Wonka murdered that kid in this way. It was ironic. That's what we say. I think any cop or detective who hears that is like, did they just all sing in unison that you killed that guy? We're gonna have to bring all you all in. Wait, what did you see? What did you see?
Starting point is 00:09:36 No, we all saw it, but here's the thing. This is the thing. That's all legally because it's like, you know, Disney and their whole deal in like Florida. Wanka is powerful enough that the laws have been changed and London or wherever he is, that any whimsical murder happening on Wanka grounds, totally illegal. This is like someone's been shot. Someone's been stabbed. This is like a full blown actual murder.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And he's like, no, no, no, you don't understand. They didn't eat candy and turn into like a big blueberry. They weren't like stretched because they went on my tiny thing. This guy was stabbed. He was stabbed. It would be sweet if they were out. The movie I want is about like a Scotland yard detective and she's like down on her look.
Starting point is 00:10:19 You know what I mean? She just has like, she's trying to make a name for herself and she's like one room behind Wonka in the factory. So like, she's always one set. I was like, I can tell there's been a murder here. I got 11. I got 11. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:33 She's like, always one set behind his murderous rampage. That's cool. We gotta see, we gotta see this fucking flick though. I have to see this movie. So the third trolls movie, by the way, and I can confirm, I am not in it. Am I in it? You weren't, you may be in it. It's arguable whether way and I can confirm I am not in it. Am I in it? You weren't you may be in it.
Starting point is 00:10:50 It's arguable whether or not I can hear a little mild, a call of Griffin. Okay. But yeah, you're you're in and as much as you were in, uh, what was Mitchell's versus the machines. Yeah, Mitchell's versus the machines, not me. The problems. Okay. I work at a bakery and I'm more than one occasion when buying a bag at
Starting point is 00:11:04 people have asked me to rip their bread in half so it fits in their shopping bag. Fuck yeah! That's so cool. I'm not allowed to use the knives from the kitchen so the only option to snap it with my bare hands which feels wrong. Why aren't you allowed to use the knives?
Starting point is 00:11:16 Okay, so that I read over that a couple of times and I'm like, I don't think this is an admission of like, listen, I've had some issues in the past. I'd like to believe it's like, these are our special bread knives. Like you're the front person. You don't touch. Yeah, like all adults, I'm not allowed to use the knives up front. Like, I'm afraid you've been sold a business.
Starting point is 00:11:38 There's a story behind this story that is not being provided and I wouldn't provide it either, but there had to have been a time where you go back, they're like, hey guys, another customer wants me to snap their bread in half. Can I please use one of the knives? And they're like, you're not gonna try and do sword tricks with it, are you again?
Starting point is 00:11:55 And you're like, no, no, no, no. They're like, are you sure? You're like, yeah, for sure, for sure, this is all business. And they hand it to you in the whole size. There's nowhere to hide away while I commit this crime. So they're just watching me the whole time I'm doing it, brothers.
Starting point is 00:12:08 What should I do the next time I get asked to snap someone's bag at, that's from sourdough, snap her in Sydney. Yeah, man. Snap your bag at. Snap their own damn bread. I don't need the pressure. You said there's liability issues. Transactions done.
Starting point is 00:12:23 My work here is done. You got the bread, you snap it. You signed this waiver and I'll snap your bread. I don't know that. To hold this pre-sapped. He just threw it at the ceiling. Just throwing the ceiling fan there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:39 You just gingerly. He's just slowly raising it up. Close your eyes, it's crusty. It's going to be so much harder. Oh, fuck. Just tear the heel of it off and be like, like this? Is this how you wanted it divided? Or are you thinking more of a,
Starting point is 00:12:53 you've had it in half long ways? Like this? There we go. Now for like a big sandwich, is that what you? Just husk it, just, just, just hold hold the the bread out and scoop all the middle bits out And be like you want to bring yourself to tears like if you could yourself to a point where you're weeping like I'm baby I'm sorry. I'm a little blindfold on on the baguette Sorry, big boy break it's back
Starting point is 00:13:18 Snap it over snap it over your knee and then be like is do you are you still gonna eat this if it touches my pants? That's not usually a question I have to ask at this food business. Oh, you know, I'd love to tear this bag in half, but I got out of that game a long time ago after the shoulder injury, but for you, one last time, and then really like, bear down, hold it over your head, and like make a go.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah. Yeah. You gotta be open to different food delivery options. Like you gotta be able to bring that sparkle to the last mile in food service. I'm gonna give you a grand example. Okay. I'm in Seattle, it's 1984.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I gotta get a fish to my friend. He's over there. This crazy idea crosses my mind. Yeah. What if I throw it to him? And then he's like he's looking at me like is this guy going to throw the fish? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm like, I don't think I should but I'm going to try it. I chuck the fish. Wait, how much indication are you giving him about what's about the how? He just give me a job. I had a face of a man who's about to throw a fish. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I checked this fish at him. He catches it. Two people stand by or like do it again. Yeah. Like and then they bring over a friend like do it again. Do it again. Yeah. And then he took those five batches.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Man, fast forward 30 years. It's a magnet. It's a movie. It's a musical. Everyone loves the throwing fish. Yeah. They go to the place just because they heard they throw fish there. This could be your thing.
Starting point is 00:14:49 This could be like, oh yeah, this guy, you gotta see this guy break up. And this, and this is the wild thing about that juice is they don't tell you this or really show it. I don't know how they lock down this sort of like flow of information, but they hit a lot of people with those fish every day. Every day someone gets hit with a fish just walking around like, I'm looking for candles. I was looking back and to stop as the,
Starting point is 00:15:10 as the sort of elder statesman of fish throwing the bagdom. I said, I'm so open. I didn't know the Pandora's Box, I was opening. Yeah. Were you guys just trying to figure out a fish pun of Oppenheimer? No. Flop. Cyclone. Sorry. Commit.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Flop andheimer. Yeah. It's like fish is flop. I'll come up with a better one. Yeah. Okay. You can also just subraget. Sorry. You're going to bring a saber. Yes. You hold the bread up. Whom? I can cut it right in half with that saber. Clean in half. Yes, you hold the bread up. Who I can cut it right in half with that saber clean in half. Ah, you would like the baguette served as the French do. And then we are right in the middle. All right, guys, quick walk up.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Or again, you know, shut shut shut the fuck up Travis. Sorry, it's a 84% but now instead of 166 reviews, there are 165. So I'm assuming somebody was like, I wasn't nice. I reckon I gotta do nice enough. I reckon. I'm gonna do it again. I reckon I gotta do it again and be more positive. Everybody like this thing more than me,
Starting point is 00:16:10 so I'm gonna try it again. Oh shit. I'll try to review it again. Hey, this is a good, this is a good platform for us to please ask the critics who listened to our show who maybe gave Wonka a middling review, a better review. I don't think that that's a crazy use of our power. Yeah, I mean, you work in, you know, the written word, we work in the
Starting point is 00:16:27 Spugum word, which is of course the new medium. Everyone knows speaking words is bigger and better now. It would be a shame if something happened to your little, uh, written word platform. What does that mean? I'm just saying it be a shame. If you are, are you anonymous? I'm just saying it'd be a shame if I- Are you a- Are you anonymous? I'm just saying it would be a shame if it made me some new media tightens. Use their influence to maybe get activists? I'm just saying- I'm just saying-
Starting point is 00:16:56 I'm just saying- I'm just saying- I'm just saying- I'm just saying- What if anonymous came after the Wonka reviewers and everyone was like, what are you guys even all about now? What is your guys' whole thing? What's your whole thing?
Starting point is 00:17:08 I thought I was starting to get a beat on it, but you're like, the corrupt media. We've figured you out. I just on the page, on the Rotten Tomatoes page, there's already a trailer featuring Timothy Chalamet with a big computer generated, like, certified fresh on there. Oh, fuck yeah. It's like integrated into the video.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And the reviews just came out in this trailer's here. So someone at some point was like sitting on a computer making this trailer like, I don't know guys. I don't think this goes, yeah. This I don't know. I'm gonna put my credit card information in this trailer because nobody gonna see this one. I understand that their metrics on rot and tomatoes are different,
Starting point is 00:17:45 but if I went to a store and a store was offering 84% fresh milk, I wouldn't buy it. Oh, this is a real. There's an 84% chance that the egg you're about to crack into has egg stuff in. There's a 16% chance. Anything goes. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Hi, brothers. I'm a wrestler who needs to run at night to get in good shape. All right. Now, I know this is a little strange as some people owe me because running at night can be scary, but it's the only time I have the motivation to do so. Okay. My problem is that when I'm one, I want to appear ministering and unapproachable, but I don't want to look like a threat.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I listen to your podcast while I run. So I'm already laughing running down the street at nine at night. Thank you. How can I make my run safely? Why not freaking people out? That's from running wrestler. Yeah, it is not clear there in context whether running down the street at night laughing
Starting point is 00:18:44 makes you scarier or more approachable. Scarrier. I'll answer that one. I don't actually think the human body is able to laugh and run at the same time because I don't think there's ever really been an instance where you needed to do that biologically. So there's just not a thing that you can do. I think the answer here is simple, and they occurred to me just a second. So, you want to be... So this is untested.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Untested. You want to be unapproached, unapproachable, while you're running towards someone, because once you're past them, they're not gonna catch you. Right, and then once you're past, you want them to be like, oh, I'm not afraid of them anymore. So you're gonna have to wear a two-sided outfit,
Starting point is 00:19:26 scary on the front, but funny on the back, like calming on the back. Like in that one episode of Bluey, when the hero and they paint the faces on the back of the head, you want something mincing on the front, but gentle on the back. Yeah, that is not even remotely helpful
Starting point is 00:19:44 or what they asked for. Okay, and I think they weren't looking for ways to be scarier to the person. So it's, well, but they want to be unapproachable because they're running at night. So they want to feel safe and secure. They want to appear menacing. They want to appear menacing.
Starting point is 00:19:58 No, I don't care. Okay, okay, wait, hold on. My problem is that when I want run, I want to appear menacing, but I don't want to look like a threat. Friend, what do you want from us? That's what I'm saying. They want to figure out a way that when they're running,
Starting point is 00:20:11 someone isn't like, I'm going to attack them at night, but they don't want to give the part that they're going to attack them at night. Okay, okay. I was going to say, being running is about the most unapproachable that you can be, because you can change the distance of you and the person with the act of the running that you're doing. So you want to be menacing to bad people, but you want to be reassuring to good people,
Starting point is 00:20:42 you need a Batman costume, my friend. That's great, Kostin. that you wanna be reassuring to good people, you need a Batman costume, my friends. Batman costume. And it's great, Kristen, it's not gonna help you sweat off some of that waterway. In that Batman costume, if you're wrestling, you gotta hit your weight class. Batman is a natural like sweatsuit. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:20:56 And it's always been my experience. To be fair, they don't in a lot of Batman movies just show him jogging down the street. To get to the next thing. The Joker's here, I gotta go. I, I, I'll go, I'm gonna go ahead and go contrary to your point, Trevor.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I don't necessarily want Batman in my neighborhood. How's that? Oh, that's fair. Yeah, I don't, this is a nice neighborhood. I don't need Batman hassling everybody in my neighborhood. Sure, but I don't, just go, I got an idea. Yeah. Marathon number.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Oh, yeah. Look lost. No, marathon number. Marathon number. Just like, no, you're running. You're not lost. There's just gaps. There's no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:21:37 You're a little slower than the other ones, but you're running. No one's going to think of it. If you have a number on your chest, no one's going to give you a second thought. Now, here's, okay, here's what I like about that, trust him. It's definitely reassuring. And depending on what you're wearing, if I'm a bad guy,
Starting point is 00:21:52 and I'm like, I'm gonna rob somebody, and I see you in like short shorts, a tank top marathon number, that person doesn't have cash on them. Yes. Nobody's wearing a cold watch, and they're, I'm unrobable. I barely have water in my body. I definitely don't have quarters.
Starting point is 00:22:08 The other thing that I can't stop thinking about at this question is it does none of this stuff matters if you are fast enough. That's true. It doesn't matter how approachable or unapproachable or menacing or not scary you might be. If you're fast enough, I would almost be a motivator. Like, oh, this is awkward right now.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I gotta get this. I gotta get this in the air. I see so many times I want to run from awkward situations and you can. You can, you are. You must. If you're moving so fast that by the time my brain even clocks, like, am I intimidated by this person, you're gone. Now it's just like, what was that?
Starting point is 00:22:47 No, okay, but if I'm on the sidewalk and they're on the sidewalk and I see someone see me and then they're like full tilt boogie, like, I'm done. Yeah, you need to be running at least 25 miles an hour on residential streets. You can be on the road. You're running 25 miles an hour, a speed of a car.
Starting point is 00:23:05 But you don't understand, Justin. It's even that's not an issue if you're fast enough. There's so much, and realizing only just now, how much I wish I was fast. Because if you're fast enough, I just wanna be fast enough. Fuck, if you're fast enough. If you're fast enough.
Starting point is 00:23:21 The flat, why did I go with Batman? Why did I go with Batman? I don't know, that doesn't mean anything. Flash is a fast-running man. If you flash, God damn it. If you're fast enough, you can't even be... God damn it. The flash!
Starting point is 00:23:34 What Batman has been known for running! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! My camera! The flash was right there! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Starting point is 00:23:45 The fuck! It was right there! If you saw the flash running at normal man's speeds. It would be the biggest fucking red flag on the planet because someone has a ray somewhere. Someone's got a gym or something. Yeah, that's fucking this dude up, but I don't want any part of it. I don't want to see the flash jogging. What's happened to him?
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah, he's sick. He's sick. He's sick. Bobby, be the picture a little girl. No, you're not the real push. No, you're pulling down 15 MPH, Max. God, I wish I was fucking fast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:30 It would be cool just for once in your life to go fast. Mm-hmm. I don't even need to be that fast. I would like to be fast enough that another human being was like, I don't damn. Like that's it. Fuck, he's fast. I don't want to be that fast. I don't have to be the fastest man alive.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I do want to be fast enough for the rest of the world. I'm not going to be that fast. I'm not going to be that fast enough. I'm not going to be that fast enough.'t know, damn, like that's it. Fuck, he's fast. I don't wanna be a, I don't have to be the fastest man alive. I do wanna be fast enough that I can run away from any situation and the person who I was engaged with or trying to avoid would be like, he's too fast for me to try and catch up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's too much effort required to catch up
Starting point is 00:24:59 with that fast man. It is, it's funny as you get older, when you're a kid, you run all the time because why wouldn't you run all the time? You're a kid. You got boundless energy. Now, me running in like my day to day life is so infrequent. Yeah. It feels like, it feels like a wizard that only has a few spells left in him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, kids, I don't pull this out very often, but I do have the disability. Everyone's staying back. And then when I do start running,
Starting point is 00:25:27 there's always a part way ahead of them. Like, wow, you're going pretty fast. I feel great every time you have that. I forgot how fast you can run. If you really go for it, J-Bank, you are fast. It has been so long since I've run fast as a human being that I feel like one of those reviews were someone's fired at gun,
Starting point is 00:25:44 but they didn't count how many times they fired the gun, and they're not sure if there's a bullet left in there. I'm like, I don't even know if I could anymore. Like, what if I go to run and I just fall down? It's full quap for me every time my body's like run, which is not frequently, but I do have that burst of speed moment that Justin described where I'm like, holy shit, I'm great.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And then like three seconds, like four strides in. I'm like, oh, shit, I can't keep this up. I'm going to fall straight forward. What? Yeah, you can as an adult go fast for 10 seconds, but then there's 10 minutes after that, where it's like everyone leave me alone. Please. Gosh, I mean, this wiki how dovetails so nicely with the subject matter.
Starting point is 00:26:30 So thanks to the wizard, thank you to Dylan, who sent this in. It's how to win a sword fight. While many consider sword fighting to be a thing of the past, the sword and the art of sword fighting still fascinates and inspires people. While you can have a lot of fun sword fighting, you should never use weapons that could cause significant harms to your opponent. Use wooden swords or other types that won't injure you or your opponent.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Now, okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. First of all, first of all, that ruins a lot of the fun, though, doesn't it? Yeah. Second of all, that's going to be mutually agreed upon scenario, right? You can't be like, I don't wanna hurt my opponent. I'll use a wooden sword. And then meanwhile, your opponent's like, I got a lightsaber, fuck off. Oh, yeah. If the Highlander steps to you,
Starting point is 00:27:15 you can't pull out a wooden sword and be like, Queen's Berry rules. I bet it's hard to cut your fucking head off. I bet it's hard to cut your fucking head off. Highlander that you're not also a Highlander. Like, he steps over the sword and you're like, no, no, no, I'm not a mortal. He's like, that's what I will say.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Now, Travis, think about what you just said. There can be only how many highlanders? One, eventually though. It's not that there is only one, Griffin. It's not there eventually. I've never fucking seen Highlander. So I thought it was like a doctor who thing where there could just be the one. No, they're funneling down until eventually there's one Highlander and then question mark I guess damn that sounds because that sounds cool
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yeah, I'm gonna see this fucking yeah, but it's new. It's a whole thing I see a walk of got to see wonka first Step one learning Okay, okay, walk is the time Lord and he's like the candy man I don't want to even travel. Hey candy man. I don't wanna even, I don't even wanna pretend to be into this conversation. I don't wanna talk about that. Hey, that's a good note.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Assess your melee environment. Awareness of where you are can help assess multiple disadvantages and be able to turn your environment into your advantage. There's gotta be a better, more efficient way to say that. If you can be no higher sound. If you can, yeah, I mean, famously, that's good for sword fighters. Bright sunlight can blind you if it's at the right angle, forcing your opponent to have the sun in his or her eyes will make it much harder to see you.
Starting point is 00:28:34 But what if that's both doing that? Now you're standing side by side. Yeah, both turn around and look up idiot. So I can stab you. A bird up above, look out, just kidding. That's my friend, the sun. Get stabbed. Try not to stand still as this allows you to avoid being hit
Starting point is 00:28:57 and gives you possible openings for attacks. Yeah, I guess I'll get pretty tired though, huh? There has to be an in-between though, right? There has to be an amount of stillness and movement that it balances out. If I'm constantly running a circle around the opponent, that can't be the right option. You can't even Bob and weave, right?
Starting point is 00:29:15 Because at each sort of edge of the Bob and weave, you're stopping for a second. So you have to be constantly moving your body while sort of fighting in a circular motion so that the momentum never really stops. Like you're idling in a JRPG. See if it was me, I would say stand still, but we're a really oversized like sweater.
Starting point is 00:29:33 And then they're like, I don't even know where to stab. And they're stabbing where there is nobody, right? That's what I would get. Maybe their sword even gets caught in my big, poofy sweater. Yeah. And big pants, tall shoes, the whole shebang, extend yourself in all directions.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Yes, this next step kicks ass. Try to think moves in advance, the smart swordsman doesn't lose. Oh, the smart swordsman doesn't lose. So the losing swordsman is dumb. Well, both parts of this are kind of wild, right? Cause it's like, what happens if two smart swordsman, just the smarter one wins? I wasn't aware of that. Well, they parts of this are kind of wild, right? Because it's like, what happens if two smart swordsmen, just the smarter one wins? I wasn't aware that they walked up to
Starting point is 00:30:08 each other like chess masters and they're like, I'm going to check you in four moves. And it's like, why would I check you in three? All right. And then they died. Yeah. There. What they both just sort of pass away right there. I also really like think of your moves in advance. As if to say, like, I got a big match against sword mic coming up tonight. Let me think.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I think I'll start out with a chop at his torso. He's probably gonna try to chop my torso, so I'll go block after that. This should work. He's gonna start crying and tell me about his family and how they need him around. So I'm gonna stab him when he does that. Just looking at his real, looking at his tapes
Starting point is 00:30:51 with the coach like if you look, sword, Mike likes to stab down. What's up, game, man? Sword, Mike jumps in the air and then does a sort of down stab. Grip the sword properly with both hands. Some of the stuff, we've tried to, I tried to learn fencing once.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I went to one fencing class at Marshall. Oh my gosh, how was that, how did that go? Uh, bad. Because there's a lot of stuff in sword fighting, that is pretty boring, right? Like, imagine yourself sword fighting, okay? And now here's the next like eight steps. Grip the sword properly with Gryffins.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Hey Gryffins. What? If the Fencing class was so bad, you could have protested. And then you could have piqueted the Fencing class. Like a picket fence? But it's a big thing. No, no, Travis, they're saying no.
Starting point is 00:31:40 They're saying, sorry, yeah, they're saying no on that. Okay, let me tell you my writer. Yeah, it didn't work. You tried it, you had to try it. BB made that joke. No, that was your fucking voice, Travis. And that was your voice. I know your voice so good.
Starting point is 00:31:52 We'll get it in place. Get what? The left track? We don't, I don't think we want those on the show. What? Hold your sword in the ready position at all times. Open your body at a 45 degree angle, your left foot, a prop. At all times? Oh yeah, open your position at all times. Open your body at a 45 degree angle, your left foot at all times.
Starting point is 00:32:05 At all times? Oh yeah, open your body at all times. Have your sword in the ready position at all times. Sleeping, making love, eating at Chipotle. Soared at the ready at all times, cause they'll get you. That's how they fucking get you. The smart swordsman never loses.
Starting point is 00:32:21 And neither does the secret swordsman. The smart swordsman never loses. And no one's talking about that. No practice the eight different angles of attack This is fucking boring. This is this is this is how we won the revolutionary war is that the British were all like 45-degree angle chaps eight angles of defense and we just came in there with our swords like we don't know the rules of how to do this We've got two swords. We're not holding swords. We're not holding a lantern above our head. We're not holding our other hand. We're going two swords.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Yeah. And that's how we kick this out. This is a little American event you would like to introduce you to. It's called a good. It's like a sword that moves that you really quick. Yeah. Well, Chuck's tiny swords.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Pretty shh. I do think that the British did have guns in the Revolutionary War. I don't think so, Griffin, check your facts, but it's a podcast or a history class, man. Come on, they can't be the same thing. Defending yourself.
Starting point is 00:33:14 I even, I wanna skip this whole fucking chapter because let me tell you guys, you get me in a sword fight. I don't have to defend myself. Yeah, it won't get that far. You know what I mean? Strong attack is the best defender. Yeah, if I was fast, I wouldn't have to worry about defending myself. You know what makes for a really good defense?
Starting point is 00:33:33 A bigger sword. How are they gonna get around that? I'm not talking about longer. Talk about wider. Look at the buster sword. Cookie sheet with the sword. That might get around yeah I wear he can just hold the sword in front of him yeah yeah around it a sword
Starting point is 00:33:51 that wraps all the way around my body like a diving bell yeah good luck getting through that one sephoroth you dumb idiot yeah look at your tiny fin sword look at your thin make a pencil dick try to get to this thick sword, idiot. Look at my jod of a sword. Just make a sword the size of my big, beautiful Buick. That can hide my face. Yes. That is up like a lane two.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Or every time Justin runs someone over with his Europe and Travis Lot, he goes, oh, I stabbed him. Yeah. Yeah. I struck true. I struck true. The smart sword. Wait, he's driving away. A smart sword, when runs your ass over, I don't even start the sword fight.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I just hit you with my car. Sword fight over. Do you think guys, when the first night war armor to a battle to a war battle, someone saw him and was like, that guy's, you're going to think I to a war battle. Someone saw him and was like, that guy's you're gonna think I'm fucking with you. That dude has a sword that wraps around his whole body, his head, chest, legs, and hands. He's got swords fucking everywhere.
Starting point is 00:34:59 He wears the sword like we would wear a shirt in pants. It doesn't make, we are fucked. Hey guys, there's a sword holding a sword over there. You guys got a hog gun, and we're dead. We're dead meat, Dan. Where even was I? Perform a block against your opponent's move. No, carry your opponent's attack with that, your sword.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I still don't know what that means. Displace your opponent's sword and hit them as they attack. Now, this is where we start to get into the good stuff Okay, they're saying they come at you make them fuck up and hurt them. They'll repost. I believe it's cold That's yes, that might be what that is. I've also that's a word. I've only known for my sassons creed and I don't ever really didn't ever look it up We're in this article given us a talk about putting on the armor of God Um, we're in this article, given us a talk about putting on the armor of God. Um, that comes up at the end. It says the armor of God, the belt of Jesus and the sword of good grades.
Starting point is 00:35:51 The shield, the shield, the shield to the Bible. Uh-huh. I know that one because it's so big. Yeah. Yeah. And Travis said the sort of good grades. It's really fun. I don't want to go past it.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Avoid stabbing movements with your sword. What? Apparent like the natto. Like the natto. The natto. Sorry. The natural instinct for most people is to try to stab their opponent as soon as they can with their sword. That's an uncontrollable reflex when someone puts a sword in your hands. You must start stabbing as quickly as you possibly can.
Starting point is 00:36:21 The stabbing move is apparently a terrible move most of the time and it will only make you very vulnerable to your opponent. Yeah. Yeah. Once again, instead of a very wide sword here, I talk about a very long sword. Maybe it's even got like a little tripod on wheels. This thing extends out about seven or eight feet
Starting point is 00:36:36 in front of you. Good fucking luck. Yeah. Well, stab is actually, I'm thinking about pre-bad move, because you only do a pretty little cut And then it makes you get closer to them Not with an enemy, then you're gonna get stuck You do it in the right place, and clean and all the way through
Starting point is 00:36:54 You can even get the guy behind him Yeah, free lucky It's that's the next step if you can get through two or three guys With one incredible step it says if you must stab, line them up first. Execute the basic attacking movement. Tell them you got worthers, but there's only enough everybody to have one. Yeah, I know. They need to line up.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Get your worthers. Griffin, was that step execute the basic movement, but that's not stabbing? The basic attacking movement. Bring your sword forward towards your opponent. The step towards your opponent and slightly to the right. This will bring you away from your opponent and prevent them from attacking.
Starting point is 00:37:33 You bring your sword down a straight line and hit your opponent. There are steps after this one. Why? Follow through? I mean, there's a chance. A apologize. Apologize to their widow.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I apologize to their kids because they're dead. This dance routine is take a step forward slightly to the right, chop their head downwards, and then there's more stuff after that. The next step is a question. Did you miss? Fuck. Start out wiki how. I you miss? Fuck. Start out. Wiki howl. I don't need any more than this. I've finished my use.
Starting point is 00:38:09 You're done. I'm on to the next Wiki howl article. But it's over. Get back to study and keep the grades up. The more certified for you. Perform a faint and kick to your opponent's groin. After I've chopped their head with my sword. How is that not the first move?
Starting point is 00:38:24 That should be the first move. I've just missed. Yeah. Now I'm gonna kick head with my sword. How is that not the first move? That should be the first move. I've just missed. Yeah. Now I'm going to kick him in the ball. You might put yourself in a better position for that one attack you're going to do to work out. If you did the groin kick was an option, we should leave with that and just see if it resolved.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Yeah. Maybe we could head this thing off before heads are removed. Do you want to keep going after this? No. Okay, great. I'm pretty sure in the 10 dual commandments, number two is the groin shot. And then death, the killing blow comes much, much, much later.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Guys, next step, avoid lifting your arms and sort behind your head. What I do with my sword at this point is entirely up to me. So I've chopped them in the head. I've chopped them in me. So I've chopped them in the head. I've chopped them in the head and I've kicked them in the balls. And now I'm worried about leaving myself vulnerable. Yeah, I'm lifting my sword over my head so I can throw it in the ocean and get rid of
Starting point is 00:39:17 the evidence of the person whose head I just saw. I'm raising my sword over my head to offer it for auction to raise money for the widow. Okay, now what do I get for this sword? I have to start a scholarship fund for their five kids The only place this article needs to go is how to fake a 911 This guy just came out of nowhere and he just he just said this guy I was so scared and tried to kick him in the crotch and nothing worked But I was the other guy came around and cut him the fucking half. He looks so cool doing it He looks so cool, but he was right because he's fucking fast. He was dressed like the flash
Starting point is 00:39:55 It's just like the main complete sense He's fucking bi-sector this guy He's got a guy here. here. That wasn't me. He said I was next if I talked. I'm great. He's there on a reward. I don't want to get my growing kicked. I'm gonna wait to tell you this until there's our own world.
Starting point is 00:40:20 The last step is control the flow of the fight. Done. Yeah. Check. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. Checkmark. You heard about this square space all the kids are talking about.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Yeah, it was actually a big help for me when I was making websites in the past because I didn't know anything about it. I have actually tried to do it with like HTML editors and stuff like that and it was honestly beyond me. But square space makes it really easy. It's fun to do because it's just pulling together blocks in these templates. You can, they're made by real people who really know what they're doing and you're just bringing your own stuff to plug into it. So it, it looks like a professional website, but you don't need tons of experience to, to get it going. And you can do whatever with
Starting point is 00:41:23 the sites, you can sell stuff. They got lots of tools for that.

Yeah see a post-refe S Cosmics because it's a it's a sequel. Yeah, to McDonald's. Sequel to McDonald's. It's the second. It's a it's not McDonald's. Okay. No, it's the sweet calling McDonald's. They get freaking pissed because it's not McDonald's is a sequel. Oh,
Starting point is 00:46:40 Cosmix. Uh-huh. They've taken a lot of the narrative hooks of McDonald's. Yeah, a lot of the characters we know in love and really explored them a lot further. Meet McDonald's before the burger or something like that. You know what I mean? Like that's so it's beverage focus. It's Cosmics, a new player in the beverage segment. Being the top burger chain isn't enough for McDonald's. During investor day on Wednesday, it revealed it's long awaited Cosmix prototype. A small format restaurant. Who was waiting for it?
Starting point is 00:47:12 Me. Everybody. It's a breakfast where beverages take center stage. They got churro frappés. They got smores cold brew, sour cherry energy burst, tropicals. These are just words. Is. These are just words. I say these are just words you're saying, Justin, this is you know, they're fricking satisfying, great refreshing beverages that you can have any
Starting point is 00:47:35 time you want. Look at these fuck. You say something about the spice age in there. There's a spice aid. Spice aid. It's life. Oh, this tropical life aid. It should be clock and hell, man.
Starting point is 00:47:46 There's words in here I've never even seen before. Flavors. My mind can't even and Matt did won't get his hands on this. There's a popping pair slot. It does seem like wonka's magical influence is permeated. Yeah. Like and then but they have drinks. They don't just have drinks.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Drinks are the main attraction. It's like McDonald's if you're thirsty. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. McDonald's for the nasty. Popping. And they're like popping pair slush is such a yucky. To such a yucky,
Starting point is 00:48:16 phonetic during to go popping pair slush. The drive-through prototype is equipped with digital mini boards and cashless payment services. Additionally, guests are assigned to one of several pickup windows when their order is ready, ensuring they can move quickly through the queue. Cosmix has its own website and mobile app, apart from McDonald's. This is not McDonald's. No. Let me emphasize again, we are talking about 12 stores. Sorry, 10 stores, the CEO said, so they're going to do 10 cosmetics.
Starting point is 00:48:49 There's only one right now, but you can go to it. If you're in Illinois, just go. Cosmics has its own website and mobile app apart from McDonald's. There's no, this is not McDonald's. The big story isn't about cosmetics per se. The big story is what it says about McDonald's and our potential to think a little over a year ago, this one idea, this was an idea. And this week we're opening the first test site. So it does this seem like they thought about
Starting point is 00:49:15 it. No, very much. But here's the thing, it's all beverage focused, right? This sequel to McDonald's. But then they're like, I guess we have a little food that you can eat. And guys, just check this out. You don't want me to fixate on food, but you got a spicy queso sandwich. You don't want me to fixate on food, but you got mcphops. They're full with hazelnut and probably peanut butter.
Starting point is 00:49:42 No. It starts to feel like it's McDonald's. Well, look at the bottom right of this image. If you get a spectator. Yes. Go ahead. Well, there's a little window in this food gallery where the reality's afraid.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Yeah, where the borders of the multiverse. It says, from the McDonald's universe, Egg McMuffin's too, which is an evidence. Flurry. From the McDonald's universe, Egg McMuffin too, which is an evidence Blurry from the from the McDonald's universe. It's a crossover event You can get a McMuffin at this fucking humanless McDonald's called Cosmics This not McDonald's, but they do have you know for the fans a little bit of fan service Look at the Egg McMuffin if you want it a nice foothold I'm confused by all this it. A nice foothold. I'm confused by all of this guys.
Starting point is 00:50:26 What's happening? It's a spinoff of the thing they're already doing, but they're gonna open 10 of them and be like, it's McDonald's with good food and more drinks. And everybody's like, I think I love it. And it's like, yeah, that's the idea. Yeah, sure. Yeah, the you like coming here.
Starting point is 00:50:41 That was not what they said. I can't say so much at fried pickles on it. It looks fucking, for them to be like, this is a beverage only experience. And also, the wildest fucking sandwich we've ever made in our whole careers. Also, for some reason, they chose, I'm like, okay, what's the aesthetic?
Starting point is 00:50:58 Well, we're gonna make it look like every food item is falling from the sky. Yeah. The company also announced ambitious plans to reach 50,000 McDonald's by 2027, which would mark its fastest period of growth in brand history. Guys, the idea that we are about to enter a period
Starting point is 00:51:18 where there's the most McDonald's opening that have ever been, where are they finding this growth? Wouldn't it be amazing if they brought back like theme to McDonald's? Like those don't pretty much exist anymore, but if they're like, now this one is like jungle themed restaurant, and this one is gonna look like,
Starting point is 00:51:34 oh, you're in France, but it's in like a small town in Idaho. Bring back those Travis, what are some of the like, examples of themed McDonald's? Oh my, dude, if you've never gone down this rabbit hole. There used to be like dinosaur-like themed, Jurassic World kind of McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:51:54 And like there's the rock and roll McDonald's. There could be a Chicago McDonald's. Yeah, so there were like, I mean, I know that they'd turn. Hollywood themed ones. A Burger King in France into the Spiderverse. I remember that. This is like a 90s 2000 thing,
Starting point is 00:52:09 where there were so many popping up that they were like, this one's the dinosaur McDonald's. This one. Oh, you can get them a little bit of like extra personality. Yeah. This is, I will say also, this is freaking great. There's a choreo frappe at Cosmix. And then I've also got a story here about Taco Bell

Starting point is 00:52:50 And solid. We'll call them up. Yeah, it's just like a frosty, churro-inspired drink. Yeah, sure. Why not? Anyway, that's what's happening in the world of McDonald's, they're opening the next McDonald's. Not McDonald's. I, I'll be honest to you, so I forgot about McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Who wants to go there? Cosmic's has MacPops. It's better. They probably shouldn't keep calling stuff Mac. If they wanted a new name to get really get out from underneath the shadow, they shouldn't have crossover events like the McMuffin.
