Episode Date: February 19, 2024

Don't worry if you missed out on the pop culture zeitgeist in the big sport event! We've got the rundown on everything you missed: not going in twisters, anti-Valentines, Jon Bovie the cow musician, and hedgehog-adjacent tater tots. Suggested talking points: Caffeine Porridge, An R2-D2 Full of Bath Bombs, Skibidi Valentines, Dolly Parton Drifting The Marsha P. Johnson Institute https://marshap.org/

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. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? One, two, three, four! It's the start of something beautiful A small acquaintance has blossomed It's rapping into a precious friendship I could have never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach

My life, it feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like

It feels like It feels like It feels like It feels like It's better, it's better with two My way Oh, it's better with you Hello everybody and welcome to My Brother, My Brother and Me and a vice show for the Modernera I'm your oldest brother Justin McRoy I don't like letting Griffin go next anymore I'm taking him back to power

I fucking hate it too dude What up, Trav Nation? It's Chaboy 1.5 Super Bowl winner, Travis McElroy. Hi. Hi. Didn't we all win the Super Bowl? Well, I'm just saying that between me and Travis Kelsey, yeah, I'll get there in a second, there's an average. You'll get to my name?

Yeah, between me and Travis Kelsey, there's an average of 1.5 Super Bowl wins per Travis. Oh, I see. Okay. Cool. Well, as we all know, my middle name is Dion. So big ups to Dion Sanders for winning me all of those, I don't know, 0.8% of all those Super Bowls that we got together. Big ups to Dion. I'm Griffinon McElroy. By this by this transitive property, I have had like two and a half really good parts in Troll's movies. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, well in a few Super Bowls via Justin Manning, everyone's favorite all-star pro quarterback. I would like to not split the, uh, Boob reveal from the, the notorious Boob reveal.

I do not wish to show credit. That's all. Mr. Timberlake, he may have it. Yeah. Yeah. You may have that one. There's a few things about old J. Timbs that maybe he can.

He can just keep. You can keep that. Hey, listen. Thank you so much. I would never yell at my coach. I would gently say, um, excuse me, coach, if you could please. I would like to get back into the football game where I violently tackle people, excuse me, coach, if you could please, I would like to get back into the football game where I violently tackle people,

but I'm gonna ask you very nicely. I went to a neighbor's Super Bowl party for about three and a half minutes, and then I'm not gonna name names, but some people in my family were jumping on the trampoline. And some of the shorter members. Some of the smaller members of the family jumped on the trampoline, and one of them had a throw up

and then we had to immediately go home. Must have been the weirdest sort of like hosting experience for the host of that party like, what's up? Yeah man, grab a beer. Can't wait for the big end, you're leaving. Oh, there's Bob and Hanzo. Yeah, I see it. I didn't watch this except I did see the part

where the man did yell at his coach and push him a little bit, which I understand, guys, me, more than any of us, particularly the two of you on this call with me, I get it in sports, you get hooked in the thrill of the moment. But it seems like the stakes were pretty high for that man to not yell and push. Like, of all the scenarios that could have gone well,

having 130 million people at your most famous girlfriend person who is currently alive watching It seems like a good time to take a deep breath and yeah, dude I don't know man. I think if I was in the Super Bowl, I would be pretty scared Maybe you know the point like we assume that it's fight-or-flight baby I don't think you always get to choose which one you're feeling at the time Yeah, I don't know man. I I feel however All the Taylor Swift fans feel right now. Yeah as you're listening to this This is actually a transitive statement. I'm making where as the opinion on those events shift with it with the

Swifties, yeah, I so too goes my it's Schrodinger's reaction. I get it. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Anything the Swifties decide collectively, just assume it has my full third. Yeah. So Griffin, can I tell you what you missed? Yeah, I did. I did not watch a second of this.

It was a half. Kevin says a heck of a heck of a football game. There's a lot of football played out there, not game not a single game left on the field Griffin you miss plankton showing up Randomly causing trouble Larry the Lost are just wandering around the field sometimes Shots of oh did you guys not watch the Nickelodeon version where they included SpongeBob characters randomly throughout the game? Oh, cool. No, I wish we had. Yeah, that's the version I watched and to try to get my children to care at all. The only things BB cared about, one, hey, there's Plankton and two,

why isn't Travis Kelsey proposing? And I was like, because maybe it's the Star Spangled Banner or because he's in the middle of a football play. Because it's a car commercial. Lots of reasons. I would rather listen to fucking Mr. Krabs Pratt along about how every football player is a wimp these days. Yes. And in his day, they played a hard nose tackle football. I don't listen to the entire game.

Listen to Tony Robo, Pratt along. Yeah. That's not me. I watch it., listen to the entire game, listen to Tony Robo proud of lawn partyism. That's not me. I watch it, can I do a joke? Yeah. Oh yeah. Mine wasn't a joke by the way. Yeah, yeah, no, no, but this is,

I watched the HBO telecast and it was sort of the same thing except you had Tony Soprano popping up there to be like, yeah, yeah, there goes another and deception. Yeah. That's one. One of the men catches the football that wasn't supposed to. Wait. Why are you, why are you on it? Can I get back to my thing? Yeah, good. Okay. Thank you. Um, they had Patrick star and SpongeBob doing commentary from the booth, which I guarantee they were like, this is going to be a slam dunk idea.

And listen, I'm not, this is not a judgment on the voice actors or their execution, but it did result in a lot of just, like, SpongeBob being like, oh, so he caught the wall. And Patrick being like, oh, he got tackled. It's just- Such a long time. When they go into that place, it's so exhausting to be in the SpongeBob cave

and digging out the door. And they were mo-capping. Oh yeah, no way man Yeah, I would get so tired even after spending a second inside of Patrick stars deranged mind terrifying I Griffin the only thing I want to talk to you about is Jake Moody

Jake Moody is a player that I've been thinking about the entire football game and I'm thinking about still to this day So let me give you a quick rundown on Jake Moody. Okay, Griff. Yeah And I'm thinking about still to this day. So let me give you a quick run down on Jake Moody. Okay, Griff Yeah, Jake Moody is the kicker for the Niners, right? Yeah, he gets up there and He is do he's a good kicker man I mean, you would you would you would almost have to be at this level you'd have to be right? Yeah so the 49ers go up on the the the chiefs 16 13 and he comes out to kick the point after important to know earlier in this game. He had kicked the longest field goal in Super Bowl history.

Oh cool. Only to then like half a quarter later the chiefs kicker came out and said, okay, here's one, two years longer. Like broke his record. He just had his record broken. So he's in his head already. Yeah. Moody's in his head.

He goes out to kick the extra point and, and give him a four point lead, which is very different from a three point lead because you can get three points super easy. He goes out there and it gets absolutely blocked. Just so just shut it down. Like, don't like, I get it was super easy. He goes out there and it gets absolutely blocked. Just like shut down like don't like, I get was a goof like he was doing a fun one. Yeah. For class.

And then I proceeded to spend the rest of my game thinking like how his feelings must be going throughout the rest of the game. He's over there finkling on the bench real hard. Sure. Right. So there it's 16-13. This is this is not looking good because it gets blocked, right? But then he kicks.

He comes out and does a field goal that puts him back up. Nice. Right. So then I bet he's coming back to the bench like, wow, guys, did you see that kick? Amazing. Yeah. Really a sounding. And then they lose the game by two points. And I bet at that point, Mr. Amity has probably given it more like, you know, in a way, it's

almost better to lose by three. Yeah. Because it's less frustrating. Right. You know what I mean? If we lost by two points, there's nothing I can do about that, coach. Score two touchdowns. Maybe about that. But like this one history does not hang on that.

No way. There were several moments in this game where the history was going to be or playing that one. Yes. If you are that to your point, doesn't if you are the one on the team who gets the three points and you don't lose by three points or anything divisible by three. That's probably multiple dope as fuck. You win by three points. That's going down.

That one's for the bus. That one's going down. I also want to talk about the 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. And first of all, powerful name. Sounds like a cowboy. Brock Purdy sounds like first of all, powerful name. What's that name again, cowboy? Brock Purdy. Sounds like a Pokemon trainer you would go up against. All rock type.

I'm Brock Purdy. And- I mean, that's not Brock's last name. But what nippy. And I wonder if- You mean Mr. Irrelevant, right? Yeah. If there is rules in place of like,

hey, because I know when you win the Super Bowl, you have to stay on the field and do interviews and like get handed things. Are there rules about when you leave the Super Bowl, there's X amount of minutes you have to be present so we can film you? Because they cut to Mr. Purdy sitting on his bench, looking very sad, while chief color,

ticker tape rained down around him. As he sat there in a bench, just Charlie Browning so hard as ticker tape rained down around him and I kept thinking, leave, you can go. You don't have to stay there sad. If I lose a Super Bowl, I'm going to die. I'm not gonna stop running.

I'm chugging off, waving. And then he has to do the interviews, too. That's, hey, guys, everybody, that's mean. Yeah. Let's not do it anymore. Let him go home. He's not going to. Your questions are not going to help him improve. The Super Bowl's over. Yeah.

You're just asking like, what? So what's it like to lose a Super Bowl? He's like, well, the shittiest thing I've ever felt. So imagine, imagine you were called Mr. irrelevant because you're the last draft pick. And then you were a quarterback in the Super Bowl and they're like, that's amazing. He's like, yes, but wait, good.

Have you said I imagine it's all snatched away from us. Now, did we lose by a multiple of seven? No, so I don't take any fucking credit. I don't do any of the three-point stuff. That was on special teams for not getting a safety. So go talk to special teams Stevie over there. Fuck up. I actually did my job.

I did my job? We scored some touchdowns. Yeah. I don't know. Damn, guys, that's the longest genuine sports talk I think we've ever had on this show. I know. That's the best we can do. We're gonna get demomitized. That was really good. But you know, Dad, if you've been waiting to go watch Reacher, now's the time. Now you're gonna turn it off and go watch.

Daddy, we're done with sports. Go watch Reacher now. And I believe that Justin's talking to the platonic dad listening, not talking to the put tonic dad listening Not just our dad, but every dad listening if you're ready to check out go watch Reacher Every dad listens to our show at 2.5 speed just hoping to hear Richard and then they know to stop it Drop to 0.5 times speed because we don't talk about Reacher that fucking often man. Yeah, that's how we give them the kick All right now. They're able to go back up a level to get to Reacher. Yeah. Uh, I'm a film.

This is an advice show. I meant to mention I'm a film student currently taking a sound mixing class. Oh man. I would love, I would love to take a sound mixing class. Yeah, dude. Yeah. I mean, that's what we sound. That is sound engineering.

I wish I so wish that that is what we do here every week on the show. If you think about, we make, which I wish I'd done taking a class to do it. Well, yeah, we mix our sounds. We mix our sounds together in this pot called comedy. I kind of learned how I learned how to do sound stuff on the streets. I'm kind of smart when it comes to podcasting and stuff. Right. Yeah.

For sure. The first assignment is to create a sound self portraitportrait in which I must gather a collection of sounds that somehow describes me. So my question is, how would you all describe yourselves with sound and what can I do to figure out what sounds are best for me? That's from searching for sounds in Utah.

What an excellent question. That is a great question. I've never thought of how to describe myself. Just say, how do you describe yourself in sound? How would I describe myself in sound? Yeah. You know how everybody gets really annoyed with a coffee maker when it's making a bunch of noise,

but they sure do like it when the coffee comes through. Oh boy. That's kind of like, I feel like that grinder sometimes. I really like that one. It's also nice in the morning. It's a little bit of an oasis because the kids are like, you know, and just for those 51 seconds twice while the grinder's going

Making the maximum amount it can grind to discrete times for me to enjoy Those are those are the those 102 Justin enjoys a sort of caffeine porridge every morning. Yes. A slurry, if you will. A hearty brew. I mean, you guys know what my sound would be. No need to strain it. His teeth will do that.

You know what my sound would be. What? Laughter. Gross. Oh, Griffin, that's so sweet. Of a child or an adult. From a comedian such as yourself. A child or an adult.

Nice sound. When I leave this world, the reverberations that I will leave behind of sound will be the laughter of my enemies. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you can create kind of a mini stages of life.

First it's a child's laughter, then it's a grown-up's laughter, then it's your enemy's laughter. And that's how we'll know you're dead. Yeah, and the haters will love that, and they'll be laughing their heads off. And you know what? I'll float over them like a ghost,

like uh-oh, looks like I finally made my haters laugh, looks like the last laugh is mine. Oh, boom! I didn't realize we were going to go kind of, I don't know, metaphorical with this. I was just gonna say, take a microphone and rub it all over my body while I record. Right, and that's the sound of me.

That's what I was thinking. Yes, print that on a gold record and launch it into space, and then aliens will be able to recreate you from the sort of just sound profile of your form. That's incredible. What incredible technology. Yeah, man.

Yeah, aliens, dude. Dude, you heard about these guys? Have you heard about these guys, you heard about these guys aliens? They never do it man. You never think they must have shitty technology Yeah, they're listening to us with tin cans on strings If one of us was gonna get abducted by the aliens. Yes, oh finally Would Travis be the best yes for it? I think on site I think if the aliens are observing this planet and they see the three of us,

I think it will be more fun in their minds to be like, well, what if we use that one as the sort of like, I can't get it. You don't think graphite represents more of an every man slice of life of humanity that you would want? For sure, for sure, but I think if the aliens looked at the three of us, they would be bored with me. They would definitely look at the two of you and be like,

okay, they have hair all over. So that's the hairless one, the smooth, pure one. He's gone, he's out. It's gotta be the two hairy boys. And then I think between the two of you, they're gonna say Travis. But when you're doing a science experiment where you like have a rat in a maze,

you're not like, give me the coolest rat you can find. Right? You're like, get me an average. Sorry Travis. You wouldn't, you wouldn't say that. I would, but that's why I'm not a scientist Griffin. That's why I'm the bad boy of podcasting. Travis would just be, I just feel like Travis would be full Zayfah Bebelbrock's like. In a heartbeat.

Instant. Oh yeah. No, listen. I'm way too into it. I think that's why I think they'd be like no That guy he's too excited Griffin and I would get to space like two weeks later and we get on the ISS Yes, that's what's happening up there. Thank you. Yeah, read a book. Come on. We get the eyes of the clues are there, Mr. Policeman. Oh, yeah, this is this is Carl Flurrng. He's from the flirt Jag. J definition. Quick. Come over here, Flurg.

You'll love this guy. He's a riot. Yeah. No, I would acclimate well. I just don't think I would be first choice. I feel like I would spend several weeks just explaining what a bed is. Yeah.

Because this is not a bed. Start over. Yeah. Try again. Okay. I don't... I need comfort is what I'm saying. I don't think their various like slopes or pods

or whatever they're doing is gonna work for me. I need them to construct. They're not gonna accommodate me. In fact, if you are get, if you see the beam of light blast into your window, grab onto your bed frame as tightly as you possibly can. And maybe it'll get sucked up in the funnel also. That's going to be best case for you up there.

Maybe the aliens will be chill and let you use your comfort item. Like I have five comfort. I have five essential sleep talismans. Yeah. There's no way. Yeah. There's no way that I'm going to get cozy on a spaceship. Guys, my fucking pillow came at this point is so I have a pillow that is very special And when you buy the pillow it comes with an extra bag of stuffing that is just the size of the pillow And literally over the course of maybe two weeks. I was like a sprinkle here a little bit here

I finally found the right pillow. It looks almost identical to my wife's pillow. So like, I'm not sure how much my alchemy actually made a difference, but I cannot. I got to have it. I need it so bad or else I can't do my work. I have my I have a cube shaped pillow for sleep. Yes. A log shaped pillow to hold. My Bluetooth headband and my two wrist braces for Carpal Tunnel. Without them, I'm not getting a wink.

You're just fucking ready player one over there. Just jack it in. Jack it into the dreamscape. Sometimes Sydney kisses me goodnight. She says, I love you, Robocon. So I love you. You're too sweet. And my future mother-in-law put a P underneath my mattress. I can't sleep at all, you guys.

Have a real hard time over here. So bring it back to the sound. Oh, yeah. Where are you guys out on white noise, Ritlar? Have to. Sydney and I have had a real divide in our home because any white noise is really grating for her. Oh, interesting.

Like if I leave the fan on above the stove too long, it starts to start to burn. Sydney and I have had a real divide in our home because any white noise is really grating for her. Oh, interesting. Like if I leave the fan on above the stove too long, it's it's it starts to stress her out. Me, like, I don't I gotta have that shit. If it's quiet when I sleep. In order for me to sleep, I need what I like to call sensory neutral. Yeah, right.

Where it's not too much, but it's also not too little. Right. Yeah. I have achieved a perfect balance of sound, or like temperature, or whatever is in contact with my body, not too much, not too little. The idea of a weighted blanket terrifies me. I'd be so aware of it the whole time. No.

It's good, no it's choice guys, it's good. I can't, sometimes my t-shirt fabric is wrong. You know what I mean? I'm the idea of like, now let me make it so a big flat Stanley's laying on top of you. No, thank you Yeah, I like it cold enough in the bedroom that I feel like I am surviving against the odds like I know Crawling towards on kind of deal. Yes, exactly. I need that like if you get out of bed You're good. It's not gonna be good for you man. Go back to sleep Yeah, do you guys think that Luke?

Like couldn't Sleep without being inside of a taunta for like a couple weeks after that. Yeah, once he did it once he was like I'm chasing that high that was that way every night They bring this Jedi master a new tauntaan man. He sure goes through a lot of tauntaans. What's he doing those things? Don't fucking you're not supposed to ask what he's doing with them. He smells terrible. No, you should smell him on the outside. He gave me a firm handshake and some, some awful guy on me,

and that was weird. I don't understand. But he's so well rested. Look at his skin. He's glowing. Yeah, it's the tauntaun. Tauntaun. I'll never tell. Just so you know, Griff, because you missed it, Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger

got back together for an ad. Sounds like I really missed a fucking bang up year for advertisements. Yeah, I meant to tell you about that. Okay. The whole ad was that it was a minute long. And the whole ad was just that Arl Schwarzenegger has an accent because he grew up in Austria. Yeah. I mean, that's literally he's like like a good neighbor.

And they're like neighbor. And it's a I'm like, it's a minute of this, huh? And then at the end, they're like, we have a solution. And Danny DeVito shows up to say the word. And can I just say stay farm you hired Arnold you knew what he sounds like you know what he sounds like so why the fuck are you like nitpicking his notes now like You know that's how it sounds is the fiction in this world That Danny DeVito can only say the word neighbor good it when he says the motto is he like, like, why not get him for the whole ad?

What? Why not get him for the whole? Why not just use him, save money. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expensive, I assume. I've never booked a cameo with him. Probably very pricey. I don't even know if he does. He may be even too expensive for cameo, believe it or not.

I actually bet at this point, they're both pretty busy. Yeah. Only one of them is a governor though. That's a good point. I don't think all sorts of things are still the governor. Travis might be wrong, but I don't stop being a governor. You always are a governor. You're a backup governor. That's a great point.

Um, uh, let's do the question. Yes. Um, or we could go to the wizards throne. Oh, hey, let me wait. Slam dunk. This is a real answer, by the way, I thought it was for your sound portrait. Tell a story, right? Long story.

And then, uh, just pull every, um, and, uh, and breath and make that into a thing. Yes. Every time you make sound without thinking about it is your portrait boom hundred percent a plus. You're welcome. Yeah Sorry Griffin just two more things because you're out of the cultural like guys. Yeah Robert F. Kennedy the second did an ad and it felt like the radio waves have been hijacked. Yes, it was insane. It was just a copy of the Kennedy. Every candidate is like his dad's ad, but just his face.

All right. Imposed in this old weird ad and also Griffin, just super quick. Twisters. Yeah, twisters. It's coming, baby. Twisters. All right, man. Guys, the ad for the sequel to Twisters started and Sydney and I were both, of course, on our feet. Yeah. Huge Twister fans. And I started saying out loud,

honey, if it's Twisters, honey, what if it's Twisters? Babe, what if it's Twisters? Yeah. And then it was Twisters. A very different experience than when Theresa and I watched it and it finished and said, Twisters and she looked at me and she goes, can you believe that? And I said, and I responded. Yeah, I really care. Yeah, that's absolutely

I really don't know why Hollywood spends so much money on focus groups when they could just get Theresa in there to just be like wow This this is what you did. All right. Okay. So this is where is there a cow joke? Was there a cow joke in the twisters trailer? The cow is actually all quiet It's actually all cows now. Griffin the Wild thing though is they have the little Dorothy, the robot that has it. It looks exactly like what it is. The technology has not evolved. We're still chucking an R2-D2 full of bath bombs.

Maybe that's what happened to the sequel to Twisters where it's just like they're using that and they're like, we have drones. Do you guys want a drone? That will be the evolution like, oh, you and they're like we have drones do you guys want a drone do you know will be the evolution like oh you think we're done I have a camera that took a picture of God so we can definitely see why that no we need to drive inside and release this trash can oh my god what no the trash can do that the trash can does science that will save people from twisters haha no we enjoy the twistister poison. We're gonna boss in the Twister.

What are you talking about? We have to see what's inside the Twister. Like, no, you don't. It's not a black hole. It's bad. We could take a picture of it from on top. What are you talking about? Yeah, what's inside the Twister is everything that the Twister moved over and then went up.

That's how Twisters work and do it. Yeah, we've done the science now. We could officially say from science, don't inside a tornado bad in there sucks that in there It tore up our cool move away. Yeah That was the plot of also the movie volcano, which is they just looked over the lid of a volcano who are like this sucks in there Yeah, we got to get out of here get at later. Hey, can we talk about something from the wizard though? Yeah Oh, yeah, can we talk about something from the wizard though? Yeah, what the wizard say? Madeleine sent this in, thank you, Madeleine. And this one's huge for us.

We are recording this episode a bit early. And I think this will give us, punks, some fuel for the fire. And that is how to celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day. Oh, my gosh. That's twisted. This is written and reviewed by a life coach named Seth Hall. Thank you, thanks for your work here, Seth. And Seth is going through Valentine's Day.

Maybe you had a recent breakup. Maybe you think the holiday is too idiotic or too commercial. Why not celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day? Ha ha ha ha. Make it fun and empowering, Seth. I mean, reader, do it Seth, for yourself. Throw in Anti-Valentine's Bash. Why not throw a bash and limit it to people

without a significant other? You could also include couples who are sick of the holiday, but not if they will ruin it with cuddling and other romantic overshers, Mark and Ginny. Oh my God, Seth, you sound like the coolest, funnest person to have a party with. Yeah, this guy's a treat. Yeah, order a Valentine's Day piñata

and let everyone take turns smacking it a time. Let everyone take turns smacking it a time or two. Make sure there's something fun inside. Have fun with the drinks. How about a blood orange mojito? That's Seth's favorite drink. Okay, can I say what I love about this just from the jump is Seth is like, hey, I have an idea and then proceeds the list off like something that's been in I think legally

contractually every sitcom or like TV show or movie that's ever been made about like romance and stuff like but this one's just for single people. Yeah, cool, man, we get it. You could have a party whenever you want. There's some people, I'm sure, who recognize the holiday in that way. I am mystified. It does sound like Seth is suggesting you fill maybe a heart-shaped piñata full of sweet blood orange mojito and then let friends bash it and then lap up the beverage as it's spits.

That's like an orgy starter to me. I am all here for anatomical pinatas. You guys know that, right? If it's like you smash open the liver and bile comes out, you smash open the lungs, there's a big rush of air. You smash open the heart and blood comes out. I love this. Yeah, it's cool.

You smash open a little person shaped pinata. What's that? It's guts on the floor. All of it. This is fun. It's disgusting. The mental image you have just conjured into. Invite someone out to dinner.

This could be another single friend, a parent, or even a casual acquaintance you'd like to get to know better. On a. On Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day. No problem. All been weird about that.

Yeah. What do you think, Rebecca? This is again, in fiction, Seth, his writing this WikiHow article for himself to empower himself. You can live outside the culture. I think some holidays are dumber than others, right? Yeah. You can not participate, but you cannot stridently,

I think a lot of people move, but you cannot stridently, I think a lot of people might say you cannot stridently just decide that you live in a different reality, right? You can't just invite people, but like actually I don't do Valentine's Day, so it is normal for us to go to Billy Bob's winter land as friends and nothing more. See, this is the thing, right?

As soon as you're like, hey, you're my best friend or whatever, and I know we both don't have plans for Valentine's Day Let's hang out together perfectly fine and normal. Yeah normal. This second you're like, hey This is an anti Valentine's Day day for anti and you're like, hey man, let's just not do that It's also weird to be like I want to get to know you tonight tonight Yeah, I see the calendar tonight tonight and I know it's gonna be hard to find anywhere to go Because of the everything. Yeah, I think a pretty cool surefire way to do this February 13th You hop on a red-eye flight to Tokyo Narita Airport as you pass over the international dateline

Where'd it go? Valentine's Day sunk to the bottom of the Mariana's trench. You didn't even- You skip it? I didn't even do Feb 14 this year, guys. Ooh. I was in the air. On Feb 14, I missed it. I must have missed that one, I was in the air.

Give gifts to your single friends. You may discover you're not alone. Half the world teams on Cloud Nine on Valentine's Day. Do they? But that nine on Valentine's Day. Do they? But that's still Valentine's Day. What do you mean? Valentine's Day isn't just explicitly like smooch everybody, right? Or like only smooch your significant other.

It's like beating into class today and just handing out lollipops to everyone in class, right? So the idea of like, hey, get this, anti-Valine's day, I'm going to give presents to people I care about. Hey, whoa, guess what, man? That's exactly what it is. I got hit. Yeah. Class Valentine's have gotten a little bit, like, more forward than they were, I think, in our day

as we were shopping around for stuff to Henry to hand out. There were a few packages that were like, I'm really crushing on you. And it's like, back in my day, that's like, that's a little- I was like, that's a little- That's like, that's a little- Your toilet.

Oh, God, Travis. Do not conjure that- Do not conjure that- I still to this day don't know what that is, by the way. Oh, you son of a gun. Not fully. Not fully. It's a little guy- I have a basic way. Oh, you son of a gun. Not fully. It's a little guy.

I have a basic understanding. It's a guy who's a guy. Don't tell me. I don't want to know. It's a guy who comes out of a toilet. And kids are crazy about him, of course. Is it toilet, man? It's skimmy-ty toilet.

And we all love skimmy-ty toilet in this house. Play the right music. You're going to feel better if you play music with an anti-Valentine stay vibe. This is true if you're sitting at home or you're hosting a party. Fam, you tell me. Some vibes, some tunes that are anti-Valentine.

Everybody heard by REM. What makes her a great party? Hey everybody, yeah, make sure you grab yourself a drink, I got snacks over there. Okay, let's take the tunes. Everybody hurts. Yeah, I love the gesture. Let me push back against that Travis.

Let me push back against that Travis. Let me push back against that Travis. If you are fighting, if you are throwing an anti-Valentine's Day, I think just listening to music that makes you very sad, that's again, just kind of Valentine's Day. To anti-Valentine's Day, you can't just lose at Valentine's Day. Do you know what I mean?

And if you're sitting by yourself, you know what I mean? Not having a great time, you've lost Valentine's Day. But you know what I mean? And if you're sitting by yourself, you know what I mean, not having a great time. You've lost Valentine's Day. But you need to steal my sunshine. Steal my sunshine is a great, you can't steal my sunshine. Right? And like, that's a good one. I was also REM, right?

No. It was same one. If you steal my sunshine. That one. You know, you get it. Yeah. By REM. That wasn't REM. Hey, Griffin, that wasn't REM and I desperately need you R.E.M. That was an R.E.M. Hey, Griffin, that was an R.E.M.

And I desperately need you to know that. No, it was L.E.M. It was L.E.M. It was Lynn. Yeah, Lynn. But it wasn't R.E.M. No, no, no, no. You could also do tub thumping.

Tub thumping is another good anti-Valentine's Day song. Juice, do you have any before I reveal the correct answers? Grandma got run over by Randy. Ooh, powerful. That's, now we're fucking cooking with gas. Yeah, one good way to be Valentine's Day is to just do Christmas on it. That would be awesome. That's powerful.

You get like a Christmas aftershock a couple months later, a month and a half later after it, and then you're sitting pretty. I want to pitch a good one, and maybe we could do this next year. Like there could be two holidays that happen at the same time. Yes. Valentine's Day and My Bloody Valentine. Okay. And it's Halloween again.

If you don't want to do Valentine's Day, you cannot do both. Uh huh. Okay. But everybody loves Halloween, right? Yeah. But it's so far away. That's true. What if there was a little Halloween on February, right? Yeah. But it's so far away. That's true. What if there was a little Halloween on February 14th? Yes. If you were cool.

Well, it's also the only scary holiday. Like all the other holidays are like love, thankful. Like, yes. Yeah. And if you're like, we need more like, no, this one's spooky, but this one's more existential dread, right? We have different things throughout. What if we just did election day on February 14th? I'm putting this idea together as I say it. No way, really? And you can only do one. And then also, we don't have the whole year isn't then election year. It's you get that shit done February 14th. But if you- It would be nice to go ahead and know.

Yeah, just know. It would be nice to know. Which way they're gonna get us? Please, just now is good, February 14th. Yes, that would be cool. I have stuff coming up, I would rather not have this- What if they did that, but- This sort of Damocles dangling,

just let us know, yeah? Just know, but it still doesn't change over to the end of the year. So you get the time of like, what am I? Gosh, what am I gonna do about this? What they should do. I don't know. Now I know where it's shifting away from Valentine's Day,

but just one day without any heads up, like White House just posts on their Instagram stories, like who do you think should be president? And it's just a poll and they leave it up for like 20 minutes. Yes. And then it's done and it's just like, oh shit, I gotta go vote. And you're running around like, who do you think should be president? And it's just a poll and they leave it up for like 20 minutes. Yes. And it's done and it's just like, oh shit, I gotta go vote. And you're running about like, ah, I missed it.

Yeah. I voted on the TikTok job. It costs like 30% less to vote there. It costs so much to vote on Instagram. I went on a date with my wife on Valentine's Day, so I could not vote this year legally. Damn it. Shoot, I really wanted to make myself heard.

Man. Play the right music. Okay, here we go. Say another, man. Touchdown. Man, see, I want to vote. Democracy. I love my wife.

I should still be able to vote. Whoa, lesser gleebles. Man. I made these reservations weeks ago. Man. This is a tough place to get out, but I still love democracy. Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah. Four fathers, my wife.

This is a guy who loves his wife. Yeah. The democracy. How do I choose? Yeah. I'm a citizen, right? Same as you. I got my rights.

Um. I love my wife, you love my wife. Should still vote. I don't know if she's gonna vote it or not. She's instead of to follow it. Can you imagine if you chose date and your partner chose vote? Oh no.

If that happens, if that happens, I mean, that's, now we're in the prisoner's dilemma. That could be a cool way to celebrate Valentine's Day is to just incorporate some some some trust games into proceedings. By the way guys, my wife got me a Valentine's Day card for the first time in seven years that either of us exchanged anything for Valentine's Day. That's a hostile act. That's a betrayal.

That is that that is a hostile act. Okay? That's a betrayal. That is a hostile act. Okay, some possibilities include Tainted Love by Soft Cell, You ought to know by Alain Esmoreset, what's Love got to do with it by Tina Turner? No. Let's play a game. This is the escalation game. When you guys think I have said the best song on this list,

say so, and we'll stop there. Okay, good, good, good. We'll see who gets it right. Tainted Love by Soft Cell, Tainted Love by Soft Cell. Tainted Love by Soft Cell. You ought to know by Alina Smoreset. What's Love Got to Do with It by Tina Turner? That's where I want to say it,

because what's Love Got to Do with It by Tina Turner rules? Since you've been gone by Kelly Clarkson. Ah, damn it! Oh! No takers, I- Because I can still think of better ones in my life. I will survive by Gloria Gaynor.

I mean, that is timeless. It's time. I'm still a since you've been gone, though. OK, if you're cashing out of since you've gone, say so. I'm cashing out of since you've been gone. OK, juice, are you cashing out and I will survive? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No action by Elvis Costello. Justin, no takers? Cause the next one's the last one. Okay, I'm gonna take no action. Okay, okay, okay.

It's My Life by John Bovee, or Bon Jovi. John Bovee. John Bovee. John Bovee. I'm here to run for president. I'm your new president. Quick, get to quippy. Vote. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president.

I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. I'm here to run for president. Quick get to quippy and vote. It's $80.

It's $80. Well five year membership. $70 in the TikTok shop but don't actually buy that big folding chair with no arms. Yeah man. Anyways here's the dance. And the toilet, I guess, with a guy in it. Half time show in 2035, will be Skibbity Toilet. And Tom Boobies.

I just felt like the way that Skibbity Toilet and Alicia Keys danced together was inappropriate. I feel like Skibbity Toilet's partner is going to get very upset. All right. Griff, tell me, you at least watched a half-time show, right? I didn't, no, okay, no, I got the tail end of it,

I got the tail end of it, and they were doing, turned down for what, I believe. Which was in two. Well, yeah, my kids were not pleased with the embarrassment they were feeling from their parents, because it was lit in our house when they got Usher and Lil John and Luda. Yeah.

Like, come on. When Usher came out and did a full blown skate dance routine. A Starlight Express themed like this one's just for me. I can't believe. I usually try to watch some of the Super Bowl, even though I've been out of the sport since I've discovered the beauty of hockey. In a few years, I can't believe the one that I just fully tuned out was apparently the best Super Bowl of all time.

That is a that is a heartbreaker. I'm just saying that Usher came out like that was Prince. That was Prince. Yeah, Prince was the best. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Prince would not. Usher, when he did his skate, skating dance routine was dressed like a character from a post apocalyptic movie about skating but also maybe about like a flamboyant night show kind of thing so he was wearing like this weird armor looking thing so it was so great and

he's like they said we'd never make it here and I was like well if you're being specific probably yeah no one thought you would be doing I actually think he's I said, we'd never make it here. And I was like, well, if you're being specific, probably, yeah, no one thought you would be doing. I actually think he's reformed it. The Super Bowl half-tie show before. So you should have said they didn't think we'd make it here again, because I already did it once. And what are the odds that I'd get to do it twice in the, in the middle of

yet did the red hot chili pepper, especially the wall Kool-Aid style. Like now it's our turn. Boom, boom, boom, boom. They went amp to amp. Damn it. That'd be cool. Hey, speaking of halftime. Yeah, please.

Let's go to the main show. Our halftime show. Here it is. It's better. It's better, baby. It's better, it's better, baby. It called me ROCKETMONNY. So tell me what you wanna do with me, please. It's, well, I'll tell you what it is.

Yes Yes Here's the thing yeah, I'm not gonna talk about Matt Damon and his friend Ben no and their doughnut commercial I'm trying to what they want me to do right too hard and I'm not gonna do it

It was dumb and I didn't like try. How's that? They tried too hard. They tried too hard. It's important. You know it's fucked up. You don't even need to tell me anything else about this commercial in order for me to completely visualize every frame of it. It's 100%, oh JLo's in it too.

Is that, I mean, but it's, it, it, it, it, there's not, it's not, it wasn't funny. It wasn't funny, I was unmoved. So I'm not gonna talk about that because that's what they want me to do. I'm gonna talk about Reba. Now, Reba is saying the the Super Bowl anthem, which, you know, is stars and stars.

Oh, my football so brown. No, she's saying that all over town. And I love Reba. Yes. Don't get me wrong. A lot of a lot of certified bangers. I do think that maybe Reba is drifting off a little bit of our national fondness for Dolly Parton. And just like Dolly Parton can't get to everything. And maybe we also, maybe Reba is a nice country lady that we can also love.

Is this, are you another unproblematic country lady Reba? Can you be that for us? Because we can't all have Dolly Barton. So I feel like Reba's been, Reba's benefiting from that. And the, and one way she's doing that is with our friends over at Sonic. Wait, really? Holy shit. If I was going to guess who Reba was partnering with, I wouldn't have put Sonic in the top 20. I'm vibrating with excitement.

Well, you're an embarrassing clown because Reba loves Sonic. It's one of her favorite treats, and you didn't know that. And I guess you're not a real Reba fan. She loves knuckles and tails. Look how happy she is. Wow, no one's ever been so stoked. That is, usually when I pick up Tater T tots my my face doesn't reflexively form a grim rictus

Maybe some of the least fried tater tots I've ever seen those are some like some light she likes a light crisp That's what they make them down me Yeah, uh sonic drive-in the unconventional yet perfect spot The unconventional yet perfect spot for a romantic date night is serenading taste buds nationwide this month with the launch of its exclusive Reba's sweetheart meal now. I will say this. I'm glad they clarified is exclusive because if pizza had a Reba's sweetheart meal feature items from Sonic I would absolutely lose my mind.

Yeah, listen. So it is exclusive to Sonic because it is comprised of Sonic foods. I don't want to be a hater here, Justin. Wow. But can we discuss the contents of this exclusive hand-picked Reba meal? We'll get there.

We'll get there. This limited edition comma meal, curated, which used to mean something, in collaboration with the Queen of Country, riba mac and tire, is poised to make hearts skip a beat. Is it debuts in time for Valentine's Day starting February 12th? I'm also just now noticing that the hash brown,

or the tater-tarkater talk excuse me container she's holding appear to be like bedazzled or sick in some way which is pretty fancy. It is fancy. Thank you. Reba McIntyre renowned American country music singer and actress which again if you have to tell me who she is I don't know if that's a great. It should just start just you want the press release to say Reba McIntyre, you know, Reba. Yeah, that would be great. Actually. Thank you. Reba

McIntyre. No, you're right. You're absolutely right. Griffin, I shouldn't be unfair. I got pulled. She has long shared her love for Sonic, particularly her signature order, the Sonic cheeseburger with everything on it and a side of its famous tots. Drawing inspiration from Reba's cherished Sonic experience. What? Holy shit. Just to clarify, so we don't breathe past this, her curated Sonic experience is hamburger and tater tots. And milkshake.

And milkshake, okay. No, that's not part of her famous order though.. The world famous order that we can all recite by heart is a hamburger and tater. Oh, famous. You know how these music sir, like Elvis Presley and like his fried peanut butter, banana bacon sandwich, right? Yeah. Of course, Reba McIntyre and her hamburger and tater thoughts. Yeah. Drawing inspiration from Reba's chara, Reba's chara sonic experience is a great name for something. It could just be the name of her next album.

Yeah. Well, Reba's chara sonic experience. It's a new way between me and sonic the hedgehog. What if she was like, what if Sonic called her, she's like, they're like, Ribo, we know you're crazy about us. And she's like, no, I've just said I love Sonic over the years. He's so funny, he's so fast, and he loves him. Chili dogs.

We have chili dogs. Me and Sonic the Hedgehog are gonna, me and Sonic the Hedgehog are gonna hit these tuning forks together and hold them real close to your your chakras She doesn't even know that this is a restaurant. She's just holding these up as an endorsement of Sonic the Yeah, I give my full throat endorsement. Listen Y'all ever played Gex? Gex?

He's a nasty lizard. Air the acrobat sucks. Reba's sweetheart meal is a heartwarming tribute to her quote iconic tastes. Guys, a lot of words are being devalued in this press release because they used to mean stuff. And I don't think iconic my iconic

order of a hamburger and Tate for thoughts. Is it possible that the word Reba is being devalued in this press release? Right. Yeah. I mean, no, it's not being devalued. I'm assuming they cut her a check. This limited edition Valentine's Day meal combo also includes the new chocolate covered strawberry shake.

This indulgent shake features real strawberries and rich chocolate flakes hand mixed into sweet vanilla soft serve and top of the deck. I'm not, hey, can we, I'm looking at this picture and something's just occurred to me. Go ahead. The cup that it's in was a solid white styrofoam

sonic cup that they went, oh shit, that doesn't show anything. So they photoshopped a styrofoam cup to appear translucent to show the shake within. Very clearly someone took a slider that said cup on it and slid it to 1% for the purposes of this image. That is a very good observation Travis. I would like to read to you, um,

Reuben McIntyre's quote in this trash release. This milkshake ruins my iconic meal. How fucking dare you? How dare you? My vision. So here's the quote and it may be my favorite quote I've ever read on the show. Oh man. I'll make it a tattooed on my lower back. Do not interrupt me until I'm done. My boyfriend Rex and I have known each other since 1991.

After getting reacquainted in 2020 at a dinner, he found out I love tots. That started my nickname, Tater Tot. My little sister, Susie gave Rex the nickname, Sugar Tot. So now we're the tots. Sugar and Tater, said Reba. We both love Tarts, especially at Sonic. They are our absolute favorite. We even spent most memorable Valentine's dinner at Sonic

and will do the same this year. We encourage others to make special Valentine's memories at Sonic this year too, just like Sugar and Tater. So pop some- Laura, me and play Golar, sit, Emmett. Oh, wait, shit. Just like Sugar and Tater. Laura Midway Dolor Sit Emmett. Oh wait, shit. Hold on, cut it out. I said this. Wherever they plugged in, like Reba said,

is where the press person was like, yeah, Reba, can we bring it back to Sonic? Reba, that's fair. Oh right, yeah. Rex and I shared a passionate kiss in the backseat when we first met. Of his toy love in front of the employees of Sonic. Wait, nope, Reva, walk it back.

Reva, walk it back. If you don't get all the guts out of the rabbit, it'll go foul, then the meat's no good, you see? No, bring it back to Sonic. No, Reva, Reva, Reva. Now, a few stories from the 19-year hiatus that Rex and I went on. Our paths crossed many times in the intervening here.

Rex was doing his sexual crusade. But then, then Sonic has a suit and, and I don't know, you, they should have closed with Reba, but instead we closed with McKinsey Gibson. February is the month to celebrate love and there's no better way to do that than with the exclusive Reba's sweetheart meal and the chocolate covered strawberry shake. Reba McIntyre is a national icon who is much more affordable than Dolly Parton

but still who has regularly shared her love for our Craveful menu over the years, and we've partnered with her this month to give guests an exclusive Reba's Date Night experience. It is truly, truly unhinged that they could not work this milkshake into the rich fiction of Reba and Rex's romance. It is-

They probably came to her and like, it would be great, Reba, if you said that you also loved the shake. But that would be a lie. I've never had the shake. I've never had the shake. No, Reba, we just need you to say something about how you love chocolate covered strawberries. No!

If I drank that whole shake, it would clap my ass cheeks all week. Breba, we wrote you a check for $12,500. You will say exactly what we tell you. You think I'm doing this for the money. I'm doing it for Rex. I want people to know we've been hiding in the shadows for too long. This is my legacy. Long after I'm dust, I want people saying, let's do a Reba dinner tonight, honey, for this V day. for this V-Day. Don't even eventually you said call this day Reba because my name and my memory will be lost

in time and memorial, but I'll still have this, this special Reba experience. And your shake will be dead and gone. You hear me, Sonic? Your shake will be back in the ocean. Where it belongs. Back into the void where it belongs. Back into the carbon atoms that comprise it.

I'm immortal. Now get the picture, I gotta go. Rex is waiting in the car and I left the window cracked. My burger and tater tots are iconic. You know what that means that in 2000 years, monkeys will worship icons of it. There'll be statues to this. And they'll shit on your shake.

Anyways, it's been lovely working with you I'm a big fan thank you so much and one person is like scrolling through a phone to see if they can get young gravy just like we've only got a few days to Valentine's Day um oh gosh please make Reba go this is this she really does the face she is making is alarming in this in this alarming. Thank you so much. You know, it's not alarming is my gratitude. Oh, to the listeners who have enjoyed this episode with us collaboratively.
