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

Starting point is 00:01:27 I'm your youngest brother, Griffin McRoy. I finished programming that bot. I was telling you about. Oh, you did? Oh, the real bot, yeah. Well, you know, the Oscars are coming up this Sunday. Because we record the show on Thursday. So the Oscars are coming up this weekend on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And I have finished that AI bot, and I know some people are kinda, but I finished this AI bot that can predict the winners of the Oscars. Whoa! Yes, I thought we could use this AI bot that I made on Thursday to- Today, they're good, today we're recording.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Today, on Thursday we're recording, yeah, yeah. Before Sunday, Oscars and- You guys can't see it griffin So they got a newspaper for Thursday So this is Thursday on it So you you know it's real and I thought we could use the AI bot and predict the winners of the Oscars make big bets Yeah, but in the with the bookies and well, you know make bank. I'm I Don't want to jinx it, but I've already made a pretty sizable bet. I took out and BB's College Fund as well as our production budget for the entire year.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Okay. Put it all on Wonka to sleep. Oh, hold on. Let me. It says maybe. So this bot isn't maybe the best. As long as Wonka wins one category, I'll basically break. Yeah. It says maybe, so this bot isn't maybe the best bot. As long as Wonka wins one category,
Starting point is 00:02:47 I'll basically break. Yeah, sure, sure. I didn't even, can I say, I was so excited and confident in this, I didn't even look at what it was nominated for, I didn't look at the nominations, I was just like, Wonka to win. Well, it says here Travis,
Starting point is 00:03:01 it's gonna win best screenplay with an M. So I haven't made one of these things before I'd like I'm not I took some Code Academy like five or six years ago We're all doing that shit late RPG maker a lot which I see played RPG maker So like I kind of know the basics and it says that wonka wins best screenplay Okay, but just give me a cat give me a category and I'll punch it in and then best costumes costuming Execute okay, okay, hmm It says it says I seen a wiener on here what?
Starting point is 00:03:42 I see no Wiena on here. What? Yeah, it says I seen a hold on. I seen a John Cena's Wiena is what it says. OK, I don't know if your chat bot thing is working Griffin. I feel like poor. Hold on. Best costumes poor things question mark. Says, hmm, it says you can't see me.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I don't think so. I see John Cena's penis and butt. That's weird, man. Check. Can you just, it's thirst. It's weird on a Thursday before the Oscars for this to happen. Yeah. My ballot always seems to fall apart around best animated, uh, short, best
Starting point is 00:04:19 documentary, short, best live action, the shorts. Yeah. Yeah. So if there's any short, can you just type in like shorts results? Or sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah. Sure. Short Oscar shorts results. It says none on John Cena.
Starting point is 00:04:33 What? It says none shorts on John Cena. Why? What? Why does he get what it's a fucking obsessed? I didn't I don't even he's not nominated for anything. I don't know. We'll get away from the rest of it.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Let's do red carpet stuff and maybe do like best dressed. Yeah, best dressed. Best dressed red carpet. Says less dressed. And then you guys can probably guess what it says after that. I don't see no way now. It's fucked up man.
Starting point is 00:05:00 My bodice, I gotta run some Norton ANC virus on this one. See you singularly focused. Right, right, right It says you know who doesn't have poor things John Cena, I guess it likes it Wow, I guess the program likes what it thinks about John Cena's genitals that I guess if you program a bot that is obsessed with John Cena's bits No, I program about that guest of Oscars winners. Griff, can you try adjusting the parameters? If you try that for me, I don't just put it through its base.
Starting point is 00:05:30 If you just adjust the parameters a little bit. OK, I'll do. OK, OK, OK, OK. Now it's OK. It says killers of the flower moon snubbed. Huh. And also John Cena's butt cheeks clap on stage. Neither of those things are gonna fuck.
Starting point is 00:05:47 There's no fuck. I would sooner believe that John Cena makes his butt cheeks clap on stage before killers of the flower moon get snubbed at the Oscars. I don't think so. Okay, we need to move away from it. Can we kind of get back to my thing for a second? Just search like Wonka or Willie or chocolate even would work.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Well, there's chocolate when you're type, type it in correctly cause there's chocolate and there's chocolate. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But which one does he work when I remember? Only Wonka's makes your eyes pop out the socket.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yeah. If that's what you're asking. Okay. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. OK, let me type that in. OK, I've typed in Wonka Oscars when, OK, weird. It seems to have generated its own fanfic of the Willy Wonka experience. Huh.
Starting point is 00:06:42 And there's this guy who lives in the walls now, which is fucked up. Of the Willy Wonka experience. Huh, wow. And there's this guy who lives in the walls now which is fucked up. Of the Willy Wonka experience or of John Cena? Yeah, but every other line it says something about John Cena and it says, soup can chode now. Ha ha ha! Like a name? No, it refers to him as John Cena
Starting point is 00:07:02 so you know which one he's talking about. It also says the rock is also there but his chode is not visible for all to say. That's great. That's good to hear. A sort of quantum chode. Schrodinger. Schrodinger's chode. Schrodinger's schrode. Please don't make me do this joke anymore. Okay. I won't make you do this joke anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I want to welcome people to this advice show. Um, my first advice is to the voters of the academy. I need you to look in your heart and ask yourself this. What does Zach Efron need to do? What does he have to do? What has he given you? What does Zach, He's given you every not only did he
Starting point is 00:07:48 He's a song and dance. Yeah, I love this high school music. He's one of the greatest showman He's one of the greatest showman. He's a backup. He basically understudies Hugh Jackman in that movie and then he's in the wrestling movie that's so sad. No one can watch it Yeah, that happens with a lot of wrestling movies, by the way. It just feels like, oh, we're going to make a wrestling movie, be it the wrestler, be it Fox, that you're so sad. There's one fun wrestling movie. It's all we had other than, you know, three ninjas,
Starting point is 00:08:16 the three ninjas with Hulk Hogan. I don't count it. But listen, what does Zack mean to do? What's he going to do? He's in the iron claw. He learned how to do it. His shirt's off the whole time. He keeps learning how to do? What's he gonna do? He's in the iron claw. He learned how to do it. His shirt's off the whole time. He keeps learning how to do it.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Come on. We are your friends. He went to DJ school for four years. Four years. And they still said, not enough, Zach. I just don't know what they need from Zach. I don't know what they need from Zach. What's he got to do?
Starting point is 00:08:39 I would also. He's got to get bigger. I would like to pause a change to the Oscars rules. Just consider this, each film can only be nominated in one category. Oh, that's cool. And it'll be at performance, design, whatever. One category per film.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Pick one. Yeah, that's cool. And you have to narrow it down there. I think we're gonna see some interesting pulls if we do that in the Oscars that would be cool Hey guys, if I told you Zach Efron's next project is an R-rated comedy with John Cena Directed by Peter Farrelly, and it's called Ricky Stenicki. Oh, yeah, you guys think that I'm with you
Starting point is 00:09:21 I'm excited to watch Ricky Stenicki. Are you kidding me? I'm gonna see in the previews that I'm fucking with you? I'm excited to watch Ricky's Snicky. Are you kidding me? I've been seeing the previews. I'm excited. No, I just think that those two, the fact that those two are working together is huge for me. Put Johnna in anything or nothing. And I'll watch it.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Johnna? Did you just shorten John Cena to Johnna? Yeah, that's what we call him in the biz. Okay. Johnna, this is an advice show. This is an advice show. What do you guys call them? I live in a house separated into two apartments.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I recently got new neighbors, which is exciting, except I have no work. I'm assuming they have one of the apartments, right? They have not split their own home into two apartments that they live. Okay. So, like a duplex, right? That's what that's called. Okay, so like a duplex, right? That's what that's called.
Starting point is 00:10:06 That's a duplex, okay. I recently got new neighbors, which is exciting, except I have no working oven to bake them a welcome treat. My landlord is neglected to fix ours for a while, however he put a new one in for the neighbors. What's a good non-oven treat to give new neighbors? Alternatively, how do I pull off an oven swap to get the working one?
Starting point is 00:10:29 Wow. That's from Bakelis in Bangor. It kind of feels like maybe one of those is the question. Is the real question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure, for sure. How can I be good? Also, how can I be diabolically bad?
Starting point is 00:10:41 How can I be such a staker? He would not believe. So I have one thought on the cookie, on the baking thing. I bet you, yeah. Something that might be nice is you hold on up thinking through. Yeah, this will work. You make cookie dough. I actually did this recently. I made a nice like coconut cookie and then I made the dough and then rolled it in the logs and then froze the logs.
Starting point is 00:11:05 So they would basically be like cutting bakes. Right. And they're sitting in the freezer. So if I want to pop out eight cookies, I got that. Right. So what I was thinking was you could do that and then just take the logs over your neighbor. So they're got all the fun, all the best parts of cooking. The smell. Yeah. The smell, the warmth, all the best parts of cookie with none of the hard stuff the cooking the cleaning the the that'd be great now Here's what's a problem. What's the problem? What's the problem? I'm pointing at it. I'll say it You say I couldn't bake these for you because your new landlord's a fucking ass
Starting point is 00:11:39 I want to tell you right now. You have moved into a real shit hole. You bring them over and you say, yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll be able to bake these yourself as soon as the landlord fixes our ovens. What's that? What's that? Don't say, huh? Your ovens work? Huh?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Huh, that's... What I'm saying is what you're gonna get from the neighbor now is... Well it's new! Sit down the stickers on it and everything, huh? What they're gonna say is, cause they're human beings, what they're gonna say is,
Starting point is 00:12:04 well listen, if you ever need to use an oven You're more than welcome to use my oven But then you do you will be there a lot now you yeah Fine I will use your oven whenever I please eventually I'll give be enough for a problem that now you have two people That really want you to have an oven super bad get a candlestick, a sconce, installed on your kitchen wall that when you pull it down, the wall flips around. Now you have the oven in your kitchen. And you could even do that with a few other things.
Starting point is 00:12:38 It is important to me that you know this and understand this. Just screwing a sconce into the wall doesn't make that happen. in the hap- It's so important to me that you know this and understand this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just screwing a sconce into the wall doesn't make that happen, right? You know that, right? The fact that you would lead and stop with, install a sconce, like that is so far from the first step of that plan.
Starting point is 00:13:00 If you have that functionality in your home and you activate it with like a light switch, what the fuck are you doing? Like it has to be a sconce or nothing or a book installed, but why would you have books in a kitchen? That's right, good books. Right, what Travis and I are kind of highlighting. Remember when I put the hidden library door upstairs?
Starting point is 00:13:23 And it took a month. Sure, yeah. And you put in the book that does it. Yeah, that was way, that was way late in the process. That's almost more of a cherry on top. But you wouldn't have a button or a switch that does it. You had a book or a sconce in this case. You stopped that.
Starting point is 00:13:36 You sconce. Yeah, you in, if you drew on a piece of paper, tap wall to open. And then you put it on your wall. This is not Beetlejuice. You will tap on that wall and nothing will happen. Yeah, no, dude, because it's a piece of paper that says tap wall to open, you fucking idiot. But if it's a sconce.
Starting point is 00:13:55 It has to at least be a sconce. That's all that I'm saying. Yeah. I guess putting the sconce up, you are one step closer to having a wall than this. You don't have to worry about later on in the process. This is huge for the landlord.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Now, all of a sudden, one toilet to maintain, instead of two toilets. So it sconces all the way down, is what you're saying. There are a handful of activation points that will be appropriate to the room that they're in, a sconce in a bathroom, what is this, a medieval castle? I don't think so. What would it be in the bathroom, the plunger?
Starting point is 00:14:29 That's pretty good, yeah. Or the medicine cabinet opens up and it just goes right into the other room. And you could just gotta climb up. Hey, Juice, can you not comb your beard while we're recording the podcast? Why does that bother you Griffin? Why does it bother me for you to comb your beard while we're doing the pie? I don't know. I guess any sort of, we don't do a lot of
Starting point is 00:14:48 hygiene based activities sort of while. It's hard when you're looking at yourself. You see a few strays out of place and you'd love to present your best self for the list. I rearranged my office and the lighting is weird and I feel very purple for something. Oh, I don't like your lighting actually Trevor. Cool. I'm gonna tell you, it looks, I don't like the look. I don't like how it looks. It looks a little bit intense. I really, I'm liking it less. It looks like you have a grow light.
Starting point is 00:15:11 I do. Like you got a grow operation. There I do. That's my plan show. Can you imagine? Nope. A sight you could see that would instill more dread for the next at least year of your life
Starting point is 00:15:26 that you have coming to you. Worse than rolling up to the new duplex that you live in and seeing your neighbor dead ass stealing your whole oven. Ha ha ha! Hey, oh, I didn't think you'd be here today. I'm gonna be a stalker. I am taking your oven. I've never installed or, I guess,
Starting point is 00:15:49 uninstalled an oven before. But I can't imagine it's a straightforward process that any old joke could do. I have to assume that there's some steps in there that perhaps maybe one might wanna go to school for or some size. Yeah, there's only a few things in my house that run on exploding gaseous material.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And that's what, I'll fuck around with my router. I break my router, I can't get on my sites for a day. The oven has some get up and go to it. The oven's got a little oomph. What's that face, Trav? I was just thinking about maybe they broke the first oven trying to figure out how to move it. Is that what happened?
Starting point is 00:16:30 It's possible. What if they knocked out the back of their oven? Oh! So it's just one huge oven. Super oven! That's cool too. And then you cut in, you put a sconce on your wall about the other oven.
Starting point is 00:16:41 You wouldn't need the sconce. You wouldn't need the oven. No, you wouldn't need the sconce in that one, cause there's nothing rotating. Just a permeable barrier, maybe. It's one huge oven. And what's cool about that, you're in your living room playing Call of Duty with your friends.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Is the sconce next to the wall that opens, or is it on the wall that opens? It's gotta be on the wall. So that way you can do it from the other side. How would you get it back? You'd never get it back. How would you get it back? You'd send get it back. How would you get it back? You pull it, the wall flips.
Starting point is 00:17:07 You don't have a sconce anymore. You bang on the wall. You go talk to your neighbor. You're riding the wall, Justin. You don't just flip the wall and watch it go. Nobody knows their neighbors anymore. Huge problem about the degradation of all of the societal fabric that weaves us all together.
Starting point is 00:17:24 So maybe you have to go to your neighbor and knock on their door and say, can you pull on your sconce to send the oven back my way partner? Please, sorry, please. Sorry, tough. No one ever talks about how big the engine would have to be the motor in a home
Starting point is 00:17:39 to turn a wall around on its own. That's a big, that's a room on its own. It's gravity fed. It's gravity fed. It's gravity fed you say? Yeah, it's a great trick, but it can only do it once. Yeah, I pull the scots, the floor drops out, nice eyes. I pull the scots and half the room rotates 180 degrees violently and quickly, everything is thrown over
Starting point is 00:18:02 from the walls and it does not go back. And let me be honest, we forgot to put a break in where it would happen, so it just tears the room in half violently. Okay, how about this? No sconce. Structurally the building was it, it designed to zoom. It just sort of collapses the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:18:18 No sconce. No sconce. No sconce, but that circle of the room is always slowly rotating. Oh, like a revolve, like in Hamilton. So yeah. Yeah, sort of like that, but just like wicked slow, wicked slow, like from the, every odd hour,
Starting point is 00:18:34 you get the oven. Yeah, and I love to make Thanksgiving, but unless it's an odd number of hours to roast the turkey, it's not gonna happen. What if it comes around, it's like, hey, you have a pot in here, this is so rude. Like you have to do this during your time with the oven. Or you have the oven tunnel, which Justin has described.
Starting point is 00:18:53 You're playing Call of Duty with your fucking friends, you smell that good pie, you're like, let me see what's cooking. You put it in there, you say like, ah, did I put this in here today? I don't know. That's why you gotta mark it with a B. And you put it in the oven for neighbor and me. The handles will be, I don't know. That's why you got to market with a B and you put it in the oven for neighboring me. The handles will be, I've solved for this, Christian.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Don't worry, the handles will be made out of an extremely heat-conductive material. If you touch the, well, it's on, you will be horrifically burned, horrifically. Speaking of being horrifically burned, I wanted to tell you guys that, a sad story about the J-Man, I came home to bake cookies for my wife. Remember I told you guys about the slicing bakes that I made up?
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah. So I came home to make cookies and I baked the oven, but I didn't know that my wife had left broccoli in the oven for me to eat when I got home for rehearsal. And she had also left the tongs in there. So I preheated the oven to cook these cookies and then I walk out for a good long bit, good long while and then I come back in and I say, fuck smells like burnt broccoli.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Smells like burnt broccoli in here. Fuck. So I run to the oven. I throw it open. It's like, ah, broccoli smoke is terrible. And then I see the tongs. And for some reason I'm like, I gotta get those out of there. They can't be in the oven. That's my thing.
Starting point is 00:20:18 So I grab the tongs. The plastic of the tongs then melts onto my meat. Johnny, cremate yourself. Jesus Christ. Saving broccoli, no less. So now I have a second degree burn on the tip of my finger. I lost the tip of my finger. And this is what I don't-
Starting point is 00:20:37 Hey, Justin, you didn't lose the tip of your finger. Lost feeling in the tip of my finger. Here's what I didn't like about this particular. I'm glad you were able to narrow it down. Go on. When my wife discovered it, first thing she did was have a bit of fun at my expense. Fair. Second, upset about the loss of broccoli.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yeah. Fair. I agree. In this economy? Yeah. Thirdly, for the rest of the night, she kept giving, I kept catching her giving me these side long glances, like, and looking at my finger and then asking me like,
Starting point is 00:21:12 so how's it feeling now? Is it, is it feeling- The worst. How's it now? Is it any better? Is it any better at all? And I'm like, is it supposed to be just tell me the right thing to do?
Starting point is 00:21:24 But she said, guys, there's a chance that I, I may lose feeling in that tiny spot on my middle finger. That, that finger has brought so much joy to so many over the years. Stop it. And I, I don't, I'm in a fun way. We're leaping, we're leaping out of this conversation. You're nasty. I don't follow.
Starting point is 00:21:46 And we. I burnt my finger and it was a huge deal. Anna ruined my tongs. There's a Justin shape handprint. There's a Justin shape handprint on the tongue. I bet those cookies turned out good though. They're bomb. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:00 That little bit of that broccolini smoke on it. That's good shit. Our oven has become a food safe to keep food safe from our dog. And I've had to program myself to look in the oven every time I warm it up. I wish you were at my house. Well, just cause I missed you.
Starting point is 00:22:15 You never invite me, yeah. We used to rock with a big pizza stone that was so big and heavy and unwieldy, the only place to keep the pizza stone was in the oven. There are many times where I would turn it on to preheat, not realizing pizza stone was in there and I would open it up to put my food in and be like, uh-oh, there's a 30 pound, 450 degree rock. Yeah, 40 per pizza. 40. You're thinking maybe I'm having pizza tonight?
Starting point is 00:22:40 Maybe it's pizza time tonight because there's nowhere else. I have to go put this outside. This guy's ready to party. I have to go put this outside. This guy's ready to party. What do I do with this meteorite? I've done, I've had to do that before with the two, the two sets of tongs balancing the 30 pound boiling hot stone and then not really thinking like, so what's my exit strategy?
Starting point is 00:22:58 No, I just tell my wife open the kitchen window and get out of the way baby. I'm shucking this rock outside. Um, can we go to a wizard? Yeah,. It's been a while. I miss the wizard. Yeah, sure has. Brian sent us in, and this is timely because it'll be next week. It's how to celebrate the Ides of March. Oh, yeah. How to celebrate. How to celebrate. Not a dessert. Not a dessert. Mark. Yeah. No, like fucking party and recognize in a jubilant way
Starting point is 00:23:27 I don't need any help knowing how to party Yeah, well Next next segment then I guess I need to help Griffin, please. I'm party tries to help March 15th Is known as the Ides of March which marks the day that Julia Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC It's not official. No, not forgotten. No, never will. A lot of things changed on the eyes of March.
Starting point is 00:23:50 So much. Where would, where were you? I'll never forget. Julius Caesar might be problematic now, guys. Let's be careful. I don't know what he got into. You think? Listen, I separate the art from the artist.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I don't know if we like Julius Caesar or not. He made a great salad. He figured out how to give birth without having to push it out of there. He did a lot of great stuff. I feel like. He trained dogs, I think, if I remember correctly. He made this incredible orange milkshake for the malls. He's an incredible, incredible man.
Starting point is 00:24:21 He made pizza and then people were like, are you done? And he turned around and he said, fuck off, I'm making a second one. He's an incredible man. He made pizza and then people were like, are you done? And he turned around and he said, fuck off, I'm making a second one. Pizza, pizza. Whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:32 He did all that stuff. Many history and literature enthusiasts celebrated every year. You could throw your own I.D.s in March theme party or simply enjoy the festivities by appreciating Roman culture, art and history. Don't mind if I do. There's I.Ds of every month, right? It's just the middle of the month.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Well, except for February, huh? That'd be the 14th, which we celebrated Valentine's Day. Except on a leap year. Then it's the 14th and a half. Not a day, and you know that better than anyone. Oh, so the 29th is the day, not just a made up number? Right, enjoying the heights of March. Drink a glass of wine to honor Julius Caesar. Come on, I was already doing that. Right, enjoying the heights of March.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Drink a glass of wine to honor Julia Caesar. Come on, I was already doing that. Yeah, come on man. Is it in the day that ends in wine? Yeah, it's a day that ends in wine for me. If you don't like wine, you can make a bloody Caesar cocktail. Wait hold on, let me ask St. Gavir's like that.
Starting point is 00:25:20 The day that ends in wine? What if we made our own brand of, in the same way that we did coffee, what if we did our own brand of like wine? Oh juice, someone's pulled up a screen shot. Okay. Now juice, why don't you tell the class what you shared in the visual space with the three of us?
Starting point is 00:25:43 Now? It's just a real picture of Julius Caesar what he really looked like, and I thought you guys would be awesome. I love this shit. I love when it's like. I mean, you guys are interested to see what Julius Caesar actually looks like.
Starting point is 00:25:54 When it's like skin doctors and VFX artists and all kinds of people made a rendering of what Julius Caesar would look like if he was a real guy if he was a real guy and it never looks awesome. No, he looks like, um, like a high school vice principal who maybe thought his life was going to go a little bit differently. Yeah. He looks like young Bill Nye, who has been inflated like a balloon a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Which is cool. Um, make him go away, please. Thank you. For a more authentic experience, you can mix your wine with a little bit of water, which is how the ancient Romans drank their wine. I'm already doing that. I'm already doing that.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I'm already doing that. I'm already doing that. I'm already doing that. Watch movies and documentaries to learn more about Julius Caesar's life. Pretty boring. Yeah, fuck that. Do they ever make a cool, you know how
Starting point is 00:26:41 like Hollyweird has made a few versions of those boring ass plays from the Great Bard, but they made them with like sexy people in them and cool guns. Yeah, I mean like Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter. Yes. Okay, good. That's precisely what I meant. Make a Caesar salad for lunch. Now, I'm not sure what the other, the name is the name.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I don't think my man, but I don't even know if back then they had the technology where this Roman man in 43 BC was like, bring me my favorite shit. That lettuce chopped up so clean. Y'all know croutons though, right? Yeah. Give me some of that creamy funky and chovy dressing too. Just how I like Yeah. Give me some of that creamy, funky, and chovy dressing too. Just how I like it.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Give me one of the least- You heard me, salads of salad. The salad with the least vegetables on it. The wettest one you got. Yeah, you heard me right, little toasty cubes of bread. From the mind that brought you cut the baby out instead of pushing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Comes little toasty cubes of bread. Straight off the dome, y'all. It's the new Caesar. You got stinky fish? the little salty stinky fish. Put them on there. No, you don't want to put them on there? Grind them up in the sauce. That's right, I'm putting sauce on this salad.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I made up sauce. It's awesome what he's done for us all. Act out Julius Caesar with a few of your friends. I've done that. I was in Julius Caesar, I mean I was in Julius Caesar. You were in it. Who did you play in Julius Caesar? I played done that. I was in Julius Caesar. Yeah, you were in it. Who did you play in Julius Caesar? I played Casca. The first stabber.
Starting point is 00:28:12 It's not the main role. Not a lot of lines, except speak hands for me. Which is one of the cooler things you can say when stabbing a guy. That is pretty good. But he is the first one. And I feel like a lot of the tone of that stabbing was established by the first guy who did it. Yeah, I mean, you really said everybody else
Starting point is 00:28:30 was just gonna kind of like politely stab. And if you don't come in and go for it, oh, we were just gonna get his fingers. There had to be at least one person in the crew that was like, I thought we were joking. Yeah. Yeah. The cost could just went for it.
Starting point is 00:28:43 I told the director, I should have more lines I Said give me I said Brutus. He's one of the last stabbers on that stage I should as the first one I should get most of his lines I feel like yes, what they added they added a lot of lines and I remember most of it was like Yo, I don't know anything about Caesar, but if you guys are going to stab somebody, I'm in and I will be first. I will be first and you all can be last, but whoever were stabbed. And like in the scene, like right before Ed Tube Brute, there's a scene they added where Koska is standing behind him like,
Starting point is 00:29:18 Is this the dude? Is him? Yeah. Is this the guy? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Yeah. Is this the guy? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him?
Starting point is 00:29:25 Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him?
Starting point is 00:29:32 Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him?
Starting point is 00:29:39 Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? Is this him? And then the second guy would come up and he stabbed and then I walked up like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You gotta go down with it.
Starting point is 00:29:48 You can't go in and out. You go down and you gotta do a ver... Just get everybody, give me your knives. I did 40 knives all at once. What was your final scene? They had one more line for you, Griffin, at the end. It was like, no, no, no, that guy grabbed my hand. You all saw it.
Starting point is 00:30:06 He made me do it. I didn't want to stab. You all know, I've always said, I'm not a stabby person. Yeah. Wait, did you say in the previous scene, friends from a countryman, lend me your knives? Yeah, I did say that because I was going to burn all those knives so that it didn't happen again.
Starting point is 00:30:23 I, I, I'm all about knife control. You guys know. I hate to. I've always hated stabbing so much. You dudes know this about me. Plan a trip to Rome to celebrate in Caesar City. Sure, I'll do that for March of the 15th, absolutely. I guess if you're looking for an excuse.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yeah. Okay, hosting an I'd So March party. Plan your party on March an excuse. Yeah. Okay. Hosting and I'd say March party plan your party on March 15th. Yeah. Ideally. Yeah. Yeah. Probably decorate for the party using a white, red and gold color scheme. Caesar's often depicted wearing a white Toga with red accents and gold jewelry.
Starting point is 00:30:57 So these are great colors to use for your party. Okay. Also purple is and purple. It's a purple is another popular done something with March 16th. Oh. Doesn't it feel like it's kinda weird. Well that's when he came back from the dead. And he rolled the stone away.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Then the same Patrick's Day is the 17th. It feels like there should be a day, like can we have the 16th or like can that be a free period? Yeah. 16th should be a make your own holiday. It is weird that they make us go back to school for the sixteenth, we get off the fifteenth for Isdemarks, we get off the seventeenth
Starting point is 00:31:31 for St. Patrick's Day, but you gotta go that one day in the middle, ugh. Yeah. Come on, man. Serve traditional Roman foods for dinner, make a large platter with grapes, cool, figs, sure, cheeses, sometimes, and olives, no, for an appetizer. For dinner cook.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Did you just say no to olives? Never. Across the board? And a million years. I mean, they can be there cause they look like so Roman. Like it's gonna feel very authentic. It's better that they're there,
Starting point is 00:31:58 it feels classier that they're there. Yeah, but they're into the night, they're still gonna be there for dinner. Serve meat like lamb, beef, pork or chicken in a light vegetable stock with cooked vegetables Which was popular dinner for wealthy Romans. So cool. That's so soup Make some soup Yeah, that was another part in the Julius Caesar play that I added I was in the background cooking up a big old culture to soup
Starting point is 00:32:19 Oh and just like every scene would end with like clank clank clank soups on JC. That is why you guys added after you guys stabbed him all the soup shot out from four different places of his body. I understand I was so confused why that happened. He ate all the soup and you guys were mad. And for a college theater production version of Julia Caesar. There was a Spider-Man turn off the dark level of injuries taking place on that stage. Because you can't get that much soup up. No, no, no, no. The show would be four hours long if you got it.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Theater still smells like chicken soup to this day. Theater did, yeah. The stage is warped. Yeah. From all of it. From all the sides. Learning more about Roman history. Research the life and death of Julius Caesar. He was a guy he did a lot He took he was like head
Starting point is 00:33:11 He was H. He was HBC. Yeah, and this badass dude named Koska was like no fucking way You know here and and Iced that prick so the the person right in this article So the idea is like so what are you doing for the Idle of March? Like, oh, no, I'm going back and forth. I might fly to Rome or make soup. Read a book. I might make soup and read a book or fly to Rome. I haven't really decided. A bunch of my friends are going to pretend to murder one of my friends real, real, real bad. I might put a documentary on in the background. Do you think so? Do you think Costco asked him on the 14th like so what are you doing for I'd some March?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Like what on earth is walking to work? What do you mean? What path you taking? Strangler stuff. Any shadowy passages? We're sound like people. I'd by the way. Yeah, I've never heard it before. It's weird. Hey, you don't ides by the way? Yeah, what's that? I've never heard it referred to that before. It's weird. Hey, you don't have a lot of money on March Banders,
Starting point is 00:34:09 do you Caesar? No, why? Oh, it's just, I didn't want you to look forward to it. Hey, hey, Kossky, you took my ballot before I was done filling it out. Like, that's all you'll leave. It'd be dope if the fucking soothsayer was like, beware the eyes of March and also Villanova to sweep.
Starting point is 00:34:29 It's a Cinderella. Okay, so Cinderella, there's this girl, right? No, dad. You know what? You don't need to worry about it. You don't? You actually have everyone here? You're good.

Starting point is 00:41:21 they refuse to accept this fact. They say I don't seem six feet tall. Brothers, how can I act differently to make myself seem taller? That's from six feet falsehood. Trav, you're almost six feet tall. How does this? Depending on the day, Justin. Yeah, I feel like you're, you're right on this like line, right? Hey, it seems very notable. Hold up. This split between 511 and six. Are we saying Travis is 511? I'm not No, I have tall energy. I agree. I'm pretty sure I'm taller than Travis. I'm fine
Starting point is 00:41:52 I'll be you slouch. Yeah, so when I don't I'm like a proud eagle. I'm five ten Albatross. Yeah, we're both five but I don't wear tall shoes. I wear heels right that much taller than me I'm I just a little guy you You are a little guy, probably. Should I be sitting lower than you? What are you, are you 5'9"? 5'8"? Oh man. 5'6"?
Starting point is 00:42:12 5'7"? 5'6"? 5'6"? 5'6"? Yeah, I thought it was 5'6". I'm gonna carry you in my pocket. I'm not four inches taller than you. Fucking tall. I am weird ass. taller than you. Shut up, you tall fucking tall giant weirdo.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Listen to me, a normal man. I thought I was five seven for a long time and I felt pretty good about it. And then when I measured myself and found out I was five six, it really turned everything on its fucking head. I'm sorry, Justin, I had no idea. Yeah, I just thought I was five seven for a long time. Wait a second, short king though.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Yeah, no one cares about five 10 kings. No one ever. Here's the. No one. No one. Five 10. Ever. Here's the problem with being six foot tall. Exactly. It sounds like the made up number that you say when you're actually five 11 or five 10.
Starting point is 00:42:54 It does. It does. It sounds like you're rounding up. And I don't know what to tell you about when someone says you don't seem six foot. What they're saying is I feel like you're lying. If you say I'm six feet tall you're't seem six foot. What they're saying is, I feel like you're lying. If you say I'm six feet tall, you're five 11. If you say I'm around six feet, you're five 10. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I'm almost six feet. It's basically six feet. If you say almost you're five nine. Justin tells people he's approaching six feet. Yeah. Which is. I'm not. I'm not even if you round.
Starting point is 00:43:22 I'm just five six. Yeah. I don't think that. I can't believe I'm four inches tall. Justin, if you try to wear your clothes shoes. This is what I'm saying even if you round. I'm just five, six. Yeah. I don't think that. I can't believe I'm four inches tall. This is what I'm saying to you. I know I'm right because I have no reason to lie. And you guys have bought into this whole tall boys, hot guys, tall guys, hot guys mindset.
Starting point is 00:43:41 My height has nothing to do with my hotness, save for the fact that there is four inches more of it. Yeah, and fucking say that because you are tall. And you are not recognizing all your tallness. Five-ten is not tall. You're both giants. You're taller. Listen, yes, Griffin and I are walking
Starting point is 00:43:59 giants in the land of short kings. Yes, obviously this is true, but I'm saying that I know that there are people taller than me and that's what keeps me humble as a five-bed king. I understand that. Yeah, I'm a giant, but they're a super giant. I love me. Who might even be as tall as six-two, six-three.
Starting point is 00:44:16 I've heard of that. I've heard of it. I've never seen it, but, and it's nice. I can see things. Dick and Babe Mutombo, six-one. Yeah. I can see things to Kim dick in bed my tumbo six one. Yeah, I Can't think of the other one But I know that there is at least one other person taller than then if I was six feet tall Do you guys know how often how often I would lay my body down?
Starting point is 00:44:40 to Measure the relative distance of things in a perfect, incredibly useful, like reference stick of my sitting-wise perfect six-foot body. Oh, that would be nice. You can measure a room so easily. I don't know if this is weird or not, guys. I'm 5'10".
Starting point is 00:44:56 My wingspan, fingertip to fingertip, it's like 6'4". Is that normal? Should, am I wider than I am? Tall? That's what it says. I think a lot of people are, but maybe not that dramatic. Powerful ones. Everyone's is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Yeah, everyone's is beautiful. Particularly John Cena, according to my chat box. According to your chat box, John Cena. Since we did that bit has just been printing out over and over again. I saw a screenshot of that from the future. His skin looked flawless. I don't know if that man was just in makeup for hours. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:45:32 You got wrestle oil on him. I have a list of the tallest countries and their average height. Like elevation? So I can tell you guys, if you guys tell me your height, I can tell you what country where you would blend in. Five, 10. For five, height, I can tell you what country where you would blend in. Five ten. For five ten, I'm gonna, I'm gonna whisk you away at five ten.
Starting point is 00:45:50 I'm gonna get you into Hungary. Hungary, the average is five ten. So you're gonna blend in there really, really good. You can also check out Serbia or Spain. Those options are all most of the best country. Canada is very close. So we and Canada is five 10. So you could just go up to Canada. Yeah, man. How come? Why did you lead with all the other ones? I can tell you to be excited about mixing it up. How come we've never done a tier list of all the countries to figure out which ones is is the best one. I mean, I have it by height. Oh, well, I don't think that's how we would do it.
Starting point is 00:46:28 In the Daenerys Alps, the average height for a man is six foot and a half. Let me ask you guys a question. If pushed, if pushed, how many... Would you follow the Alps, yes. Would you follow the Alps? How many states in the Union do you think you could name on like a map, no names on the map, you're just looking at a map of the United States
Starting point is 00:46:49 and you have to label the states. How many out of 50 do you think you should get? Sure, 50? 50? All 50. You get all 50? Of the states? You could name all of them.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Just looking at a map. If I had a map of the states without the names on them, could I name the states? Say, hey, y'all, put someone right now. We are teetering on the edge of a game right now that I don't know. Put a pin on it, we'll do it for that other thing. Yeah, we'll do it for that other thing.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Okay, fine. I think that will be thrilling. Because I also think I could do 50, and I didn't expect you guys to be so confident about it. That's what my reaction was right there. They're the states. They get blocky in the middle though. It gets weird in the middle is all I was saying. Blocky.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Where's the Dakotas? You're saying that right now you're 100% certain in your blood that you could be like, that's a Dakota. That's a Dakota. That's an Idaho. That's a Nebraska. Idaho has an incredibly. That's an Idaho. That's a Nebraska. Idaho has an incredibly distinctive shape. It's on the...
Starting point is 00:47:49 It's on the Elf. It's on the Elf. It's on the Elf. The Elf man in the center of America. I don't think Idaho is on the Elf man in the center. You don't think he's on the Elf man? Oh no. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:48:00 I don't think... I don't know if 50? Louisiana's the boot. I know Louisiana's the boot of the Elfman. Yeah, great. I think I get 100% name them. I'm like 90% that I could assign them to the correct. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Assign them to the correct ones. Not just naming them Griffin. Assigning. Originally you just moved the goalpost. No, I said a blank map. You could name them. I meant like label them correct. We should each get our own map.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Let's just fill it in and see who does what. Listen. Do you guys want another question? Wow. I really thought that that was going to be a chunky guitar riff. Yeah, man. I like to keep everybody. Can we actually, hey, you know what?
Starting point is 00:48:38 What? Huh? I want a lunch. Quad. I want too much. Quad. I want too much. Squad. We got, Griff. Just an eight cheetah. Yeah, man. It was good.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Hey, Griffin, I have a question for you about the cheetah that didn't occur to me until I was enjoying the cheetah. Enjoying? Hey, guys, have you ever heard of a little dish? I like to call this really good. Flip your mind. It's a little Italian dish. It to call this really gonna flip your mind. It's a little Italian dish.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Yeah. It's called chicken parmesan. Yeah. This is just, you guys are now realizing that, although it seemed profane, it is really just chicken parmesan. Oh no, Justin, I realized that when we were originally talking about the chita, it just seemed like
Starting point is 00:49:21 comedy poison to bring up, to be having a lot of fun. Well, you're talking about the big, oh, do you hate chicken Parmesan? I'll pull it back. I'll pull it back. You know how when you're at Maggiano's little Italy, having an authentic meal at the mall. And you say, one, a chicken Parmigiano please. And they say molto bene and they go and they get it and they bring it back and they put it on the table and you say, oh, thank you for my chizza. And then you pick it up with your hands. Well, you would have to.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Pepperoni on it. And it's from KFC, yeah. You would have to say Griffin. And it's crunchy. Could I get a double chicken parmesan? Don't, I don't know, not two plates. Here this one, man. Flip that one upside down on the other one.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Bring it out. It's really important though, it's not a sandwich. When you get the cheeta, it's just two chicken breasts with cheese sloppily melted on top of it and pepperoni and sauce. And it's delicious. I mean, it's delicious. I didn't eat the whole thing obviously.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Like I can't do that to myself at this age, but like it was delicious. Do the chicken fit together? No, no, no. it's like to it's not a sandwich. In what way is it a pizza? Because it's they like a crust out of fried chicken. No, no, no what you described is two pieces of chicken with cheese on it Yeah, but yeah, but like they put sauce on it, too. The cheese I have to imagine binds the two chicken patties together somewhat, right?
Starting point is 00:50:48 Yes, yes, it is a more cohesive unit. Okay, Travis, you're getting confused and I don't blame you because the construction of this thing is outrageous. I will door dash KFC to both of your homes. No, please don't do that. And they will show up and you can enjoy them. No, here's the problem, if you do that,
Starting point is 00:51:05 if you do that, my wife will not believe that you did it and I didn't. She won't believe that. That's an issue. If you do that to my home, just go ahead and call the ambulance to, if you could do, they don't let you schedule ambulances to be like 30 minutes after this cheetah shows up.
Starting point is 00:51:21 I bet they would appreciate it. As busy as I bet they are, especially in DC, it's a very populated area. If you're like, I'm gonna need an ambulance in about 45 minutes, I bet they would really appreciate that. I think we're all about handheld ways to eat our favorite treats.
Starting point is 00:51:36 For example, this one is just coming to me in my head. Little Caesars has launched handheld pizza puffs. I was watching the floor and the category was snacks and a hot pocket was on screen and the lady who was trying to guess, she yells, Totino's pizza puffs, pizza puffs, Totino's pizza puffs. And that's not, and I was like, I told Sydney she's got to stop because I'm getting so hungry for Tatino's pizza puffs and they don't exist. That's not real. Yeah. And then two days later, Lil Cesar's is launching handheld pizza puffs. How big? How big? Well, Trav, we're the home of hot and ready pizzas redefining handheld goodness with the launch of Crazy Puffs. These bites.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Wait, are they Crazy Puffs now? Yeah, they're crazy puffs now. These bite-sized pockets of pizza perfection are a versatile option for, and it says here, any dining occasion and are perfect as your new red shirt. Thank you so much for coming. He would have appreciated you being here. Yeah, it's hard to say goodbye to grandpa.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Be sure to try the pizza puffs. The crazy puffs. You're gonna love them. They serve them. It's handheld, yeah. I know. Try the game. You served them on him like a weird artsy sushi.
Starting point is 00:52:58 It's what he wanted. It's what he needed. He was a nasty boy. He was a nasty fuck. It's perfect as your new road trip companion, lunchtime hero, crowd pleasing treat and game day in VP. These pizza pups. And it could be all those things at once.
Starting point is 00:53:15 It does have that like really funky little Caesar's like sprinklers. I'll tell you all about it. The new crazy puffs contains the crave worthy flavors of a classic pizza Oh wrapped in a handheld golden flaky crust You know pizza was already pretty handheld right like pizza by definition. I wasn't having a hard time picking that bad boy But you have to understand Travis for something to to be like an on the go food anymore, it has to be feasible to eat while you're hurtling down the American highway.
Starting point is 00:53:52 With one hand on the wheel, just trying to keep it between the navigational getting away from the smoky. You know what I mean? You gotta get out of there. It's wrapped in a handheld called Melty mozzarella cheese, sizzling pepperoni or classic cheese if you prefer Now what is the use case now?
Starting point is 00:54:09 What is the use case of classic here and it says classic cheese old? Do you mean to different like this is the classic pizza puff that you know and love Yeah, I think there's also pepperoni. I think it's amazing. Like maybe, I'm not gonna say Nobel Prize, but definitely prize worthy. Little Caesar's is finally created. Like pizza inside kind of a pillow shaped container. I have to assume. No, you sound like balls.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Are they balls? Some kind of container that one could eat maybe after a soccer game or like while you're watching a movie with friends. Or for four years in college. Yeah, something like that. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or maybe like one a minute every minute for 60 minutes if you're sponsored to do it. I'm trying really hard to help you guys visualize, okay? There's melty mozzarella cheese, sizzling pepperoni, or classic cheese if you prefer why did they say that after the pepperoni Or okay wait is it pepperoni and cheese or just cheese just cheese?
Starting point is 00:55:12 Okay, and I thought they were saying mozzarella or classic cheese and little Caesar's legendary sauce are nestled inside waiting to Explode with flavor in every bite, but it says, the fun doesn't stop there. Oh, thank God. What? From what fun am I? I've just had a hot pizza explode on me while hurtling down the highway going 95 miles an hour. Good news on that front for these head held bites.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Each crazy puff gets drizzled with a buttery garlic flavor. So now it's slippery. Oh, OK. for these handheld bites, each crazy puff gets drizzled with a buttery garlic flavor. So now it's slippery. Oh, okay. And dusted with a secret blend of Italian herbs and spices. There it is. Adding layers of complexity that will utilize taste buds everywhere.
Starting point is 00:55:57 These puffs have been nominated for a James Beard Award. Fuck Cheetah. I do want these though. Pretty bad. I think the next season of the bear. No, sprinkle it. Yeah. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:56:11 You guys have you seen the bear Travis? Cause that's not what that show is like. Like I've seen every episode of the bear. How dare you? We the quote on this one is frankly unhinged. We know our customers live busy lives says Greg Hamilton Hamilton, the CMO of Little Caesars. Why else would they be eating Little Caesars? Hot and ratty.
Starting point is 00:56:33 I mean, basically, we know our customers live busy lives. That's why we created Crazy Puffs. Crazy Puffs. Crazy Puffs. You guys are busy, so we invented crazy puffs. Does this help at all? It seems like some executive was like, I don't feel like this press release
Starting point is 00:56:54 justifies our actions for what we've done here enough. We need an explanation to that. We owe them an explanation. The history deserves accountability, and that is what we're doing here. Someday, the future will look back on this moment and ask why? And we need to give them a reason.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Listen, because this is honestly, it's demented, okay? These are usually fun. This one crosses the line. We know our customers live busy lives. That's why we created Crazy Puffs to deliver the iconic Little Caesars experience in a handheld format, perfect for anyone on the go. Your whole shit is about hot and ready pizza.
Starting point is 00:57:39 What the fuck are you talking about? Who is that like, oh, Little Caesars, I love it, but I don't have two hours to sit in a restaurant? What are you talking about? Who is that like, oh, little Caesars, I love it, but I don't have two hours to sit in a restaurant. What are you talking about? It's little Caesars. You don't even have to stop fully. You can bring your card in like a five-mile-hour crawl, roll out, get a pizza, throw $10 in their face,
Starting point is 00:58:00 and get back on your feet. They have cornered an exceptional market that shows the level of foresight that is truly astonishing of being the pizza restaurant you go to when you have thrown a party and ordered pizza from another place and it's not enough and you're like fuck I need more pizza immediately. Right this second. I need to tack on small ball pizzas to my regular pizza. Now here if little Caesars wants to crack the code here's the next innovation they need to figure out. I know exactly what you're gonna say. As you're sitting there like oh fuck we didn't order enough.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Oh there's already little Caesars here. You need quantum pizza. That's like the moment you realize you forgot to get pizza. They've already delivered it to have to exist already Yeah, it actually has to already always be that technology is harder than what I thought you were going to suggest which was Little Caesars pizza with a topping of crazy No, I wasn't thinking that but I like that that's definitely coming down the pipe next Super Bowl So I want to finish this quote. I just wanna finish this quote. Whether you're conquering errands,
Starting point is 00:59:10 cheering on your team, or need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, crazy puffs are your delicious answer. Now, I wanna zoom in on I need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Now listen, I, Justin McRoy, have been in this headspace many, many times where I think nothing has gone right for me today, and I'm driving past little Caesar's, and I'm here to tell you friends,
Starting point is 00:59:34 I haven't tried this exact delicacy, but there is no reality on the planet that after you make the decision to have some mid-afternoon crazy puffs, afterwards your mood is more elevated than it was before. Now I'm psyched. My, I'm imaged. I will say this, you will have some choice worse for yourself and maybe a day's worth of choice thoughts about your own impulse control.
Starting point is 00:59:58 You're not going to feel better about the pizza puffs. That's not a mid-afternoon pick me up. That is a mid-afternoon nap inducer We can go lay on the floor for a couple hours I would I would also just listening to the way they've described the ingredients and toppings and coatings and whatnot of these crazy puffs Unless you have in your car a Working sink where you can wash your hands. I don't know how it's hand-held where you can wash your hands. I don't know how it's handheld.
Starting point is 01:00:25 The idea that portability is the draw here when these are the slimmiest. The slimmiest? They advertise the slipperiness and the dustiness. Now if they give you a crazy puff size straw, that just lets you, what does it say? Like a sheet of clay, yeah. Like a boba?
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah, it just lets me boba those babies up as I'm driving a super long hose. Basically that's dope. What we invented is a cheese drink where the pepperonis are bobas, because fuck everything. Yeah, man. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:00:56 While you do it, you have to put on these blinders because who cares about road safety or whatever, have fun. I would party on these, I think. But I would need to plan a retreat around the consumption of these things to fit them into the life I live now. In order for these things, these things would so completely knock me off the block that I would be useless to my wife and children for 36 hours following.
Starting point is 01:01:30 I would need to rent a cabin and have a spotter with me to get through these. Let me see them. Yeah, you got any plants this weekend Griffin? Those don't look like what I thought they were gonna look like juice. I was imagining almost donut hole These are almost like little quiches. There's they're tiny. They look like tiny quiches is what they should
Starting point is 01:01:55 When my say boys if I may tiny pizzas Yeah, I don't listen I'm not gonna sit here and poo poo your suggestions tiny deep dish pizzas. They're totally outrageously great I mean they look so good. They look like tiny pizzas and there's more to this quote The press release rather these portable pockets of pizza joy come in two flavors pepperoni and cheese Ensuring there's something for everyone. Well, sure. Now guys, you can't just say something. That's not what two things means. Whether you want pepperoni or cheese. Everyone likes either cheese or pepperoni.
