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 mention 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 ripened into a precious friendship
Starting point is 00:00:33 I could've never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach My life, it feels like Life, ah ah ah It's better, it's better with you My life, ah ah ah It's better, it's better with you This is true, ah ah ah
Starting point is 00:01:00 It's better, it's better with two My life, ah ah ah It's better, it's better with two By way of I It's better with you Hello everybody and welcome to my brother, my brother and me and advice show for the modern era I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy What up, Trav Nation? I'm your middle-est brother, Travis McElroy Woof woof, big dog
Starting point is 00:01:22 Travis, stay to me Aw, Griff. What's wrong, buddy? You weren't here. You weren't here for your birthday. You weren't here. I'm Griffin McRoy, the birthday boy. Actually, by the time this episode comes out,
Starting point is 00:01:33 it will be dead ass 12 days after my birthday, so we're stretching the day. No, Griffin, this episode is going out same today. It's only been five days since your birthday. Oh, okay, well that's fine. Okay, that's not our fault though, Griffin, because your birthday at 424, within as you like to call it, a Griffin weekend,
Starting point is 00:01:54 then you went to Joshua Tree and did Ayahuasca with Bono. No, I didn't. And then it lines up, Griffin calls him Good Friday and great Sunday. And those are his two. And Jesus loves that. He thinks that's like mad funny. I hate guys.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Hey guys, can I say something? I'm pretty bold, but I think that if Jesus was around today, he'd fucking love weed. Whoa, Travis. That's cool, dude. This is so weird to say. I've never thought about, I've never thought about it, but I bet he probably
Starting point is 00:02:25 would like to party. Yeah, man, I think he'd be into that chill cush. I did not do Ayahuasca with Bono at Joshua Tree. Oh, then what happened? I did do Datura with the Edge, and that is a similar experience? That is a similar experience? To nosh on that good flower with the edge and that is a similar experience? That is a similar experience to not to nosh on that good flower with the edge.
Starting point is 00:02:49 When you're on the Deterra and you're activating your spirit molecule, the edge starts to look a lot like Bono. Like you really edges of him, the edge, ironically, the edges of the edge vanish and he's, I mean, he's Bono, he's everyone. Does he get angry if you just call him Edge? Like, will he respond to it?
Starting point is 00:03:07 I mean, do you call the rock Rock? Hello, Rock. No, he's not any old Rock. Well, I call him Dwayne Johnson, but famously the Edge, I don't think the man has no, the Edge has no name. I don't know if there's- He has no name. He hasn't jizzed in 16 years. Oh!
Starting point is 00:03:27 That's how seriously- That's how he got the nickname. That's how seriously he takes his art and his craft. A lot of people think Bono is the driving creative force in U2. He jizzes all the time. He did- Constantly.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Constantly jizzing a little bit. Yeah. Did you guys hit up any of the big 420 sales this year? Coles had some good ones. Yeah. My dispensary a few days prior, the guy said, make sure you come back in on 420, man. We're gonna have some great sales.
Starting point is 00:03:57 It's gonna be crazy. And I was thinking about it and I was like, that sounds intriguing, but the thing that is not missing from the dispensary experience for me is crowding. Yeah. I don't think I need to pack, I don't think we need to pack everybody in at one time to really heighten that experience. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I think this one doesn't need to be a shopping holiday. You know what I mean? Not everyone needs to be about commercialism. And it's really sad to see it perverted that way, I guess is is my point. I would also argue that maybe not only crowding, but maybe the least enjoyable version of people who would visit a dispensary,
Starting point is 00:04:32 which is before they get weed. Right. Exactly. Like, nobody's going to the dispensary when they already have plenty of weed, right? They're going to, because they need to get more. Right. And it's all still a federal crime. I want to make that really clear.
Starting point is 00:04:49 So wicked clear. Because you can forget that often. And then you're like, oh, we've got this one day where we're going to get all the criminals in one building. We're doing a sale on crime today. We're doing a crime sale. We want to get all the criminals in one building. We're doing a crime scene, we wanna get all the criminals in one building. We're doing a super special, a blue light special
Starting point is 00:05:07 on illegal medicine. You're gonna love it. That would be actually a pretty fun guy to be an FBI guy. That day would be pretty good, cause you can stand across the street like, mm, I don't know, maybe. It's like when I got busted for weed at Bonnaroo, and the guy just walked up and was like, yeah. it's like, I got, you're doing it.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Right, I got you, you're doing it, you have a big bag of it, I got you. Now hold on, that's unfair, because I've seen signs and stuff of places that are like, this is a drug-free zone. So there should be signs at Bonnaroo that are like, this is a drug zone. Like if we're gonna have drug-free zones,
Starting point is 00:05:43 it implies the existence of drug heavy zones. This was aught nine, I said, bye, haven't been back since. Coachella, does Coachella like to fucking party? I don't know. I know nothing about Coachella except that I would bet you a million doll hairs that you're not allowed into Coachella without drugs. I think that they planned the event,
Starting point is 00:06:04 like the Wonka event that was in Ireland, I think, or it was like, this would be so much better if you were on drugs. I think Coachella skimps on a lot of decorations and experience, assuming you'll be on drugs and it won't take much. To accentuate it. Justin, and Justin, what was your joke?
Starting point is 00:06:19 I can tell it's bottled up in there and I do not want it to. No, I just get, God, just, I don't have it anymore. I said it's just gone. Oh, juice, no, it'll fester in there, but I need that joke. I said it and it's bottled up in there and I do not want it to. No, I just get God just I don't have it anymore. I said it was gone. Oh, juice, no, it'll fester in there, but I need that joke. I said it and it's gone. I said it and it's gone.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Was it about Griffin being on a wanted poster? Yes, it was. It was about Griffin being on a wanted poster. Whoa, that's dope that Travis interrupted you and also heard the thing you were saying. That was so frustrating. Well, the ADHD, I've never understood ADHD. It doesn't bother him to make the show in this fashion.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Right. This is how he is consuming and creating the media at once, they're both happening. Right, I didn't know ADHD allows you to bifurcate your whole, like, all our, your brain to do the, wow, that's incredible. Travis, you're leaning back and you shifted the focus to the YouTube silver play button award behind you
Starting point is 00:07:04 and every time I see it, it drives me absolutely apeshit. Travis moves his camera in his office orientation constantly, but every time in the shot is Travis's silver play button. And he could say because it makes it look more professional, but it's just to antagonize us. And he has this cool button that we don't have. With a skeleton puppet in front of it.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah. Don't worry. From the Jeff Dunham collection, right, Travis? Bust us out some of that good Achmed, my man. Give us, break me off a piece of that racist doll. Hey Griffin, you don't get a YouTube silver play button for being racist. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:40 That's a good point, Travis. Ask anybody. Yeah. It's not just about subscribers. No. It's about the quality of a man's character. Yeah. Yeah, that's a big part of it.
Starting point is 00:07:54 They weigh that heavily. When you are influencing people, then make sure that it's not like good influencing. They have to, you got to. Yeah. YouTube's on it. They're very careful. Do you think YouTube sends the awards to channels
Starting point is 00:08:07 that are just like, here's a 10 hour long video of a watermelon getting smashed over and everyone getting to help you sleep? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's eight bars of the same sort of binaural beats for 10 and a half hours. Oh, what's that? An emerald button?
Starting point is 00:08:22 Holy shit. Wow. This is an advice show, and we're gonna take your questions and turn them out to be like into wisdom. I didn't mean to come for the binaural beats community just now. No, they've been very helpful.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yeah, I don't wanna own that, that's not- They make a lot of work, they do a lot of work. Well, they do eight bars of a song that they repeat for 10 and a half hours. I don't do that! That's a lot more than me, 100% more binaural beats. For sure, for sure, for sure. I'm only making single binaural beats.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And let me just say, Uniloral. When I doubled down just then binaural beats community, that was also a JK, so like fucking chill. Just call it out. But also when are you gonna get to try binaural beats? I need more beats for more binaurals. Please. I work in a public school and I have a guinea pig at home. I need more beats for more norils, please.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I work in a public school and I have a guinea pig at home. My boss, this is starting out to be a very good Tinder profile. Let's go. Or a riddle that I think. I'm gonna go look at this fish I caught. My boss knows this, so every time the cafeteria has leftover or unclaimed carrots, she gives them to me for my guinea pig. The problem is there's no possible way my one guinea pig and I can eat all these carrots before they go bad.
Starting point is 00:09:27 There are just too many. Brothers, how do I tell my boss that I don't want any more carrots? Or how do I use all the carrots? And that's from I have to go buy more ranch. Now hold on, hold on. I'm sorry, Question Asker. I missed the part where your principal is giving them
Starting point is 00:09:44 for you to eat too. Sounds like these carrots are for the guinea pig. Why are you eating your guinea pig's carrots? Yeah, that's a really good point. I think you're already violating the spirit of the arrangement by eating any of the carrots. These are for you. I don't know if you like carrots or not.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Do you make the guinea pig watch while you eat his carrots? Cause I bet that's pretty confusing for the guinea pig. If your principal brought these into you and you're like, hey, thanks, and went ahead and took a bite off one, if I was that principal, I'd be like, what the fuck are you doing? Those are the guinea pig's carrots.
Starting point is 00:10:18 You cut up the carrots, cut them up, put them in some chicken broth with some onions. And then you cook them until they're soft, real soft, immersion blender, whoo, got soup gone. Okay, but a guinea pig can't eat soup, Justin. A guinea pig hates soup. Well, you bring the soup back to the school. For the kids?
Starting point is 00:10:36 For the kids. That's cool. I make this for the kids. Where's the step where somebody puts a stone into the big thing before the- You could do that. I think for kids to eat soup at school, you have to put a stone in it first and read stone soup.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Or else kids won't eat soup. If I was teacher or principal- Or guinea pig? Oh, God. No, if I was principal, I would bring soup in all the time for my lovely kids. Easy. A bowl, maybe even, and whoever does the best job at school that day gets the principal's special soup.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Absolutely not. There's no friggin' way. The kind of principal I am, there's no way that these kids, I'm not gonna give them the bait of me every morning trying to shepherd a boiling hot vat of soup. No, one bowl. One bowl just for the good boy.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Oh, just one? One bowl for the good boy only. Oh, it'sat of soup. No, one bowl. One bowl just for the good boy. Oh, just one? One bowl for the good boy only. Oh, it's an award soup. It's an award soup. Reverse chocolate cake. Yeah. Crunch bowl situation. No.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Now everybody watch as good boy Billy eats this soup. Every morning we hold an assembly at my school. Oh, it's morning soup? Where I'm principal and we make the best kid eat the bowl of soup. Sometimes. In the morning? Sometimes it takes a long time because kids these days are allergic to a bunch of shit.
Starting point is 00:11:50 But it would be so cool to have people love and respect me because of my soup and my leadership. Sometimes though, Griffin, I need to send a message. And on those days, I'm not gonna give the soup to anybody. If you're gonna eat the soup. I'm gonna eat the soup in front of, or I'll be like, maybe one of you all turns it around today, you got gazpacho by two.
Starting point is 00:12:10 That's heavy. But you have a few, before I dump it, but you got a little bit of time to earn the soup. You want my soup? Get up here and arm wrestle me. The principal. Oh, whoever can. You guys come take it.
Starting point is 00:12:21 You want the soup? I'm gonna teach you a lesson about life. Soup isn't given, soup is earned. Come up here and take this soup. This is a problem also with like, obviously food waste is a problem. There's people in every community. Tell me about it, food goes straight to my waste.
Starting point is 00:12:36 That needs, that would. Ah! Oh. No, Justin, come back. Justin, come back. Justin, come back. Justin had to quit the podcast with my children's figure. Justin, come back, Justin, come back, Justin, come back. Justin had to quit the podcast with my jokes. Justin, come back, come on. Okay, I'm back on.
Starting point is 00:12:50 It was a good joke. I mean, it was a terrible joke, but it was said boldly. Not even such, yeah, it's... I think I was gonna say... In hindsight, I think I was gonna say something like, anybody you would give these carrots to would eventually get tired of you bringing them carrots. There's nobody that wants you to bring them carrots
Starting point is 00:13:13 infinitely, because that's just passing the problem on to you. Is carrots one of them vegetables where you can stick whatever's left of it in the ground and more of the vegetable will grow? Because you could do that with like, I think onion, potato. Sure. vegetables where you can stick whatever's left of it in the ground and more of the vegetable will grow. Cause you could do that with like, I think onion, potato. Sure.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Sorry, Trev. Your solution to this problem is double the problem. Put in a little elbow grease to make the problem twice as bad for yourself. Well, now you've got a farmer's market going. You know what I mean? Now you're turning these extra carrots into a financial opportunity. Can I go back to the principal's market going, you know? Now you're turning these extra carrots into a financial opportunity.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Can I go back to the principal's morning soup for a second? I would love to, I feel like we've really splashed past it. I think that more places need to institute kind of what they used to do on cruise lines. I don't know if they still do this, but a captain's table? I think we need that, like a principal's table, a boss's table, something where it's just like, you've been selected to dine at the boss's table today.
Starting point is 00:14:11 You've been chosen. They already do it on the JoCo cruise. I don't know why we can't do it. There's JoCo's table, right? And that's where the fancy folks sit. That's where the power is. That's where the power is, right? I walked past it one time and kind of like,
Starting point is 00:14:24 I had an empty seat and I was like, walked past it one time and kind of like, I had an empty seat and I was like, nah. And the Amy man was like, keep walking. Keep walking. Keep going, butt. Seats taken. Butt. I'm no Darius Bully, Amy man. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Somebody save me from this boring man. Keep walking, butt. She does that shit so Jonathan doesn't have to. Yeah. She's found its muscle. Magnolia, how about you Magolia away? That's cool. You're getting it on purpose. That kicks ass.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Henry's school had an auction, and one of the items up for bid was principal for a day, where if you win the bid, be principal for a day. And I looked at that and I thought it was prohibitively expensive, but I was like, what would I, what would I do? So I was like thinking about it for a long time, like what kind of changes I would institute
Starting point is 00:15:19 on this one zany day at Henry's school. And I started to share some of those ideas with Rachel. And then she was like, you know that's for the kids, right? Ha ha! And I was like, what? She was like, yeah. It's for the kids to be principal for a day
Starting point is 00:15:36 to see what it's like to be the adult principal of the school. It's not for a grownup doesn't win this auction and then walk into school the next morning like, I'm in charge now. Your wife is right, I think, but also in many ways, I would argue it makes more sense for an adult to take over the role of principal because there's a lot of responsibility there.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Sure. Yeah, what if this child principal makes a role that the parents have to go to school instead of the kids? Right. I'd rather, I have a job. Yeah, what, are doctors just gonna leave people on the slab? Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Okay, now their blood's on your hands. Yeah, right. Okay, now the blood's on your hands. Griffin, what were some of those changes? This is important now. Yeah, what would you have changed about your son's school? Hopefully they listen, so be honest. Two days a week, but it's all fucking dead.
Starting point is 00:16:30 It is an overnight, two night a week sort of experience. Then you get five days to just kind of chill. That actually sounds awful. Yeah, I was hearing that, and as a parent, and if I was a kid, I would hate that. I liked a couple nights. A couple parts of it were extremely strong. Could you start school more at like nine o'clock?
Starting point is 00:16:50 That would be wonderful for me. Yeah. Okay, double the length of the school day, but make school more fun to be at. Or any fun. If you don't like four square or soccer, like any fucking fun at all. Yeah. And make a rule that like,
Starting point is 00:17:07 the sports kids have to be nice to the indoor kids. Absolutely they do. I wanna triple, quadruple the quotient of niceness that sports kids showed it. Now here's what we do, we weaponize Amy Mann, we have Amy Mann show up and bully the jocks. So the jock kids bully the nerd kids, but then who's that?
Starting point is 00:17:24 It's Amy Mann. She's drill bit tailoring. If you hire Amy Mann as drill bit tailor during your principal day, that you've grand fought, it's like Supreme Court. That's a lifelong term. She's a PE teacher. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:17:39 She's a PE teacher, personal emotions teacher, Amy Mann. Yes. She teaches- You got your personal emotions. Personal emotions. Yeah, teaches you personal emotions teacher, Amy Mann. Yes. She teaches- You got your personal emotions. Personal emotions. Yeah, teaches you personal emotions. Get a second, Guinea Pig? That's good.
Starting point is 00:17:51 More Guinea Pigs, more mouths, less carrots, more fun. More fun. More fun. They say there's no bad ideas. That's a great example of like, we had to talk about what a gigantic, well-known bully Amy Mann is on and off the screen. And that brought Travis back around to a very good idea, which is more social animals.
Starting point is 00:18:14 They want the companionship when you're not around. And so do you. Yeah. It's just twice as much love. Hey, listen, if you like a guinea pig enough to have a guinea pig, you'd probably like two guinea pigs. Yeah. Yeah. And you have the carrots to spare,
Starting point is 00:18:28 so you don't have to worry about extra food. You have the sparrots. And they don't get scarier when there's more of them. I get it. Carrots? No, guinea pigs. You take a look at a cat and you're like, that's too much. And a guinea pig is like a quarter at a cat, and you're like, that's too much.
Starting point is 00:18:46 And a guinea pig is like a quarter of a cat. It's already not enough is what you're saying. Yes, but four of them, that's so much love. Just let them just scamper all about. Four guinea pigs equals one cat, one and a half cats equals one dog, two dogs equals a mouse, strangely. I don't, yeah, it comes back around.
Starting point is 00:19:07 No, check this out. Freeze them. The guinea pigs? No, the carrots freeze them. They'll stay fresh. Yeah. And then imagine, imagine this delight on this guinea pig's face.
Starting point is 00:19:22 He's like, what is this? This frozen carrots aresickle? That's gonna help keep their chompers down, because the chompers keep growing, and that's gonna be good for the chompers. And then if you have some neighborhood kids come by on a hot day, and they're like, do you have popsicles or ice cream or something?
Starting point is 00:19:37 Like, oh, do I have something even better than that? God, we really helped this person a lot. I'm not even done yet. Freeze them, not for popsicles, but in recognition of the fact that you are not always going to have an infinite free carrot hookup. Yes, we're gonna ant that.
Starting point is 00:19:58 You're a grasshopper, you need to be an ant. You need to be an ant. Freeze these. I don't plan on eating a ton of carrots. Yeah. Anytime soon. I ate one big carrot the other day that was like honey glazed and it was very good,
Starting point is 00:20:15 but it was at the end of that one carrot, I was like, that was a lot of carrot. What is the deal with vegetables, like carrots and celery, right? Yeah. What is the, I'm trying carrots and celery, right? Yeah. What is it, I'm trying. I'm trying to meet them halfway. I do everything I can when I buy,
Starting point is 00:20:29 like I get baby carrots, which is just big carrots cut small. Like I'm doing everything I can to make them seem as fun as chips. Yeah. Because I know that they got a lot of nutrition and vitamins, right? Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:20:41 So I love to eat and I'm good. It feels good in my body to eat them. Cool sounds. Cool, cool fucking sounds. Cool sound and nice to brag about. Yeah. But what is this thing that they got going on where every fucking bite of these guys
Starting point is 00:20:56 tastes kind of different? Like, I eat celery, one time I try it, sweet and crisp for a while before it. We're loving it. I get celery one time, I try it, sweet and crisp, I'm all out for it. We're loving it. I get celery a different time. I take a bite, peppery pennies, I don't like it. I don't like it anymore. So bitter.
Starting point is 00:21:14 It's bad. You know what doesn't do that? Pringles, ever. Right, yeah. Like they're just Pringles, right? Like I feel like if we could have a little bit more, baby carrots are getting there, but with a big carrot, you'll take one bite
Starting point is 00:21:26 that's so carrot-y and good, and then you'll take another one, ah, it's burning. This is it, right? It tastes like the underside of the farmer's boot hoots made it. I'm just gonna, as long as we're on this subject, if you hear me, like a crudite, and it has raw broccoli on there,
Starting point is 00:21:42 I love broccoli, I love broccoli. I love broccoli. I love broccoli. I love vegetables. I do. Raw broccoli. No one has ever popped a piece of raw broccoli in their mouth and thought, I'm so glad I did this. I love this. I don't regret this at all.
Starting point is 00:21:55 You have to put so much dip on a piece of raw broccoli to trick yourself into eating it. Yes. Like giving a pill to a dog in peanut butter. I love to eat two to 300 dry and rubbery seed pods in one mouthful. Excellent. There's only one guy that loves raw broccoli
Starting point is 00:22:12 and that's Rob Rockley. Yeah, man. That's you live every Sunday night at 8.30 p.m. on DX. 8.30 p.m.? Rob Rockley. Why'd they put him on so late? What? Why'd he put him on so late? What?
Starting point is 00:22:25 Why'd he put him on so late? I don't plan on eating a lot of carrots in my life, but the shit adds up, is what I'm saying. You don't expect it. If you were to look at a bathtub filled with the number of carrots you would eat in your life, oh my God, what if you looked in and there was only like two carrots in there?
Starting point is 00:22:40 Oh no, what's gonna happen to me? Cause I know I'm gonna eat- Yeah, they actually, they talk about that in the Bible, when you show up to heaven heaven and then the angel says, look in this bathtub, only two, huh? Hey, can we go to the wizard's castle in the clouds? Yeah, I actually, I have to return this DVD to him of Gulliver's Travels starring Jack Black.
Starting point is 00:23:00 He learned it to me forever ago and I've been meaning to give it back to him. I'm so glad. I didn't watch it. Most notable thing about Gulliver's Travels, it is the film that was shown to challenge winners on Survivor. I remember that. They got all the movie snacks they wanted, and then they went to see Gulliver's Travels,
Starting point is 00:23:18 and then they filmed them after watching it, like they do in the commercials, and they're like, I was laughing the whole time. It's like, yeah, dude, you've been reading leaves for two weeks. Ha! Yeah, after that, you're like, I thought it was pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I meant fucking seeing bugs go back and forth gets pretty funny. This one was sent in by several people. It is a WikiHow article for this one, and it's how to make it rain money. Who? This is under the category magic and delusion performance magic tricks.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Oh, okay. I've never heard of, I've never, I've never thought of someone in a, in some sort of club environment throwing money all over the place and been like, how did they fucking do that? Wow. Well, I've been like, how did they do that?
Starting point is 00:24:04 Like have the disposable income to be willing to do that in a crowded public place. Yeah, is this gonna help me get the money also, Griffin? It has something about how to launch paper money into the air. Okay, here's what I'll say. It doesn't have to be with money money, but get a bunch of pieces of paper in your hand
Starting point is 00:24:22 and try to do them one at a time. No, you're gonna be in the club without this article, big stack of one dollar bills probably, and you'll be like, here we go, time to make it, and it all goes out in one swipe because you don't know how to shuffle up and deal. So you may not ever have to do this in your life. Okay, but I would like to be able to be prepared
Starting point is 00:24:43 to nail it if I need to, yeah. Check this shit out. Making it rain is when you hold a stack of bills in one hand and use the fingers of the other hand to peel off bills one at a time in rapid fashion and or throw out small increments of bills. The rapid fashion part is so important. Super duper important.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah, you're like a joke otherwise. You can't drizzle it. Fuck, fuck. Or throw out small increments of bills out on valets, doorman, dancers, and prominent cheesesteak shops. I don't understand that. I bet they did that. I bet that that's something from Jersey Shore.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Maybe. That feels like something they would do. The bills float in the air, creating the effect of raining money. This is usually done with stacks of single dollar bills for effect. Is it Monday morning, a holiday, or just whenever you feel like?
Starting point is 00:25:26 Wonderful, time to make it rain. Fuck yeah. But not pennies, right? Not pennies. Not pennies off a tall building. I've watched Mythbusters, that shit gets dangerous. It does. Step one, get some money.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Okay. Okay. Yeah. Unfortunately- Does that link to a previous article that explains how to do that? Yes, let me click on it. It says plasma, get rid of it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:55 It says you can't make it rain plasma. I mean, you can, but it would be horrific. Yeah, we don't, there's a scene in Fallout, actually. Find a job, help out your neighbors, cash those checks, go to the bank and ask for one dollar bills. The more bills you have, the better. You want a veritable downpour, not a drizzle. They love that at the bank.
Starting point is 00:26:14 If you roll up and you cash a big check and you say all in ones, they don't look at you weird at all. No, they love that. They love it. They do love it. They love to be, they love to have to put in the most sort of physical effort to get you the small amount of money that you are requesting as is possible.
Starting point is 00:26:33 While you're at the bank, check to make sure that the stacks of $1 bills or 20s, if that's how you roll, don't stick together. Sometimes fresh bills, all crisp and hot off the presses, adhere to each other. If this is the case, ask for rainable bills. The teller, if they've any sense, won't ask any questions. Sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Can I get those bills rainable, please? Of course, sir. See? No. More. Again? You're the fifth one today! I want- Saying that normal thing to be weird. Untraceable? rainable, edible bills. In ones, of course, right sir?
Starting point is 00:27:12 In ones, yes. I've got this many. How much bills- Do you want them marked or unmarked? Unmarked? Perfect. Does the marking make them sticky? Because, like, sir, I cannot have these bills be sticky!
Starting point is 00:27:24 Well, why not laminate your bills? If you just laminate the individual bills, this is gonna go way easier. That could be cool, yeah. I feel like that cash still spins, right? No, that's- I mean, does it? Traveler's checks?
Starting point is 00:27:36 Traveler's checks should be cool. If you laminate the bills, if you laminate money, you still spend that. This is important. Now listen, Griffin, can I just say, easier version- Okay, wait real quick before we move on. In case me in the past is listening, sorry bud, you never figured out what traveler's checks are.
Starting point is 00:27:50 You're 42, 43 maybe, and you still have no clue. I don't think they're a thing anymore. Please stop mentioning them. Okay, thanks. All right, back to the show. Is it legal to laminate money? It is. As far as I can tell, you can't like destroy it.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah. Or like destroy it. Yeah. Or like fuck it up in some way. But some places might not take it because can you imagine, you know, you're going through the till at GameStop, stealing as much as you possibly can and then you get one unyielding bookmark of a piece of legal tender.
Starting point is 00:28:22 That would drive me fucking up the wall. So then cut out, okay. okay, I've got it. Cut out the middleman, make your own money out of easily reignable bills. Why go through the process? If you're just throwing it, and not for the one where you hand it to people, but the one where I'm in a club
Starting point is 00:28:39 and I'm just swiping it off of a stack into a random crowd, why would that need to be real money? I'm not buying anything. It should just be all, it should be all Chick Tracks and Christian pamphlets. Oh, the one you open up and it's like, oh, a 20 and you open it and it's like, ah, makes you look anyways, Jesus, huh?
Starting point is 00:28:56 Yeah, that's so great, by the way. I always love those when it's like, fuck yeah, $50 bill and you pick it up and it's like, not today friend, JK, Jesus, have you thought about hell and death? Now, do it now, do it now. That's always been really good PR for Jesus, by the way. Super good.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Everybody gets so excited when that happens and they're like, huh, this nasty trick that made me excited for money but turned out just to be literature made me like the idea of Christianity so much more. Yeah, hold the money in one hand in an orderly stacked pile. literature made me like the idea of Christianity so much more. Yeah. Hold the money in one hand in an orderly stacked pile. You'll be holding the money in your non-dominant hand and making it rain with the other.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Make sure you have a firm grasp on the entire stack so none of it gets away from you. Only hold as much money in your palm as you can handle. If it goes too far above your fingertips, things could get unruly or, or someone could run off with your cash. Yeah. That's what's gonna happen. Yeah, that cuts out the middle man. That would be-
Starting point is 00:29:51 That's a great time to get bugged. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Help yourself. If somebody went to steal my money while I was doing that, I would say, could you not just wait three seconds, let me finish the stunt. Hey everybody, this guy is trying to take all the money. Yeah, it's cool actually, one loophole.
Starting point is 00:30:09 You can make it rain and still get to keep all your own money if every time you do it, you just go oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, and then people are like, let me get those, let me get those for you. I said oops, so you guys can't take those and I will be counting, I know how much was in this pile beforehand. I said oops, so you guys can't take those. And I will be counting,
Starting point is 00:30:25 I know how much was in this pile beforehand. I would love to see that in like a Dungeons and Dragons esque movie where a guy like throws, you know, a handful of coins to distract a crowd. And then it's like, and now I need those back. And you just see the scene of him going around and going, I saw you pick up two, give me those back. I dropped them.
Starting point is 00:30:43 I said, whoopsie daisy when I did it. Oh yeah, okay, he did say whoopsie daisy. Those are the rules. Here you go, sir. Peel the money off an emotion that resembles an all stay signal in Blackjack. I don't think I know. So that's where you wave your hand,
Starting point is 00:30:58 like you're doing a sideways stop. Oh, I see, I see, I see. So you're like, get to- Link to another article about how to play Blackjack? So you're like, before the hand touches the money, you gotta get the motion going. You gotta get it going, yeah. So that when you bring the hands together,
Starting point is 00:31:09 it's like a roast beef slicer. Yeah. Maintain a carefree and arrogant countenance while making it rain. That is important, cause if you started going, oh no! Oh, oh, here I go. Why am I doing this?
Starting point is 00:31:23 I'm doing so many, somebody stop me. I lost my job today, what am I thinking? Just act like this is your normal Tuesday afternoon and the ground being rained on by you isn't worthy of your footsteps, much less your cheddar. The fuck is, what the fuck are you talking about? Now I will say that if you wanna get your money back, doing it on a Tuesday afternoon at the club
Starting point is 00:31:45 is probably the easiest time to do it and then just go pick it up off of the empty floor. Yeah. Is it okay to make it rain a bill, grab it before moving on to the next bill? So it's like you're playing your own kind of like, you know, grand prize game. I mean, I think in a practice scenario,
Starting point is 00:32:00 if you're in like a Hermetic, sort of like, you're just running drills. Okay, getting creative. One, use a fan. Okay, getting creative. One, use a fan. You know what can blow money all around a room and keep it flowing away more effectively than your own bare hands?
Starting point is 00:32:10 A giant fan. Set it on a high level with enough room in front of it to add your staxo cash. Turn it to the on position when it's not plugged in. That way when you go to plug it in, you're in front of it when it turns on, ready to get rained on and rained on and rained on as your dead president swirl through the air.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Now, hold on. Is that in a line? That's awesome. Does it, that sounded like you were making that up, Griffin. Okay, I'm gonna read this sentence. Every part of this is, okay, go ahead. I'm gonna read this whole thing all over again. Because it's fucking unhinged.
Starting point is 00:32:41 It's one of the more unhinged, like from a conceptual standpoint, a physical standpoint. And while Griffin reads it, picture walking into a room and seeing your friend doing this. Your friend walks into the room, they are carrying an unplugged box fan and a stack of 45 single dollar bills. You know it can blow money all around a room and keep it flowing way more effectively than your own bare hands? You fucking stupid idiot. Yeah, your friend turns to you and says this as you walk in. A giant fan. Set it on a high level with enough room in front of it to add your stacks of cash. Oh, so like three inches?
Starting point is 00:33:22 Make sure you have three inches in front of your fan before you turn it on. Don't turn it on up against a wall. Turn it to the on position when it's not plugged in. This is the part that they felt like they had to include the kills to be. Turn it to the on position when it's not plugged in. That way, when you go to plug it in, to the wall. Like fucking Doc Brown. No, you've got an extension cord.
Starting point is 00:33:46 No, Travis let him finish. When you plug it in, you're in front of it when it turns on, ready to get rained on and rained on and rained on as your dead president swirl through the air. Life is so beautiful. The things that are possible in it. You could also do that,
Starting point is 00:34:02 say just put a plastic bag there and watch it dance around on your camcorder. Why is it cooler? Why is it cooler to turn the fan on? Then plug it in. And then, like at the moment, be like, hey everybody, here it goes. And then you crouch over and crawl over
Starting point is 00:34:19 and reach behind the vending machine and find the one plug and plug it in. And then you scramble back up and stand, why is that better than just turning it on? When Nikolai Tesla invented the Switch, it was because he was trying to make it rain, doubloons or whatever the fuck money they used back then. Lighting bolts, probably, that guy was weird.
Starting point is 00:34:38 But you had to fucking run to the wall, plug it in, and then run back in front of the fan to try to make the doubloons blow away, and he was like, this is a pain in the ass. What if I could control, what if I could control the electricity traveling into the device with a toggle on the device? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:56 And Edison was like, I just built a big tube that people can get into, and the money swirls around them and they have to grab it like little peasants. And he's like, Tesla was like, damn you, Edison, that's not the beauty Tesla was like, damn you had a sense. That's not the beauty of the art, but that is fucking better. Yes, my big client Bozo's show bought it from me.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I'm Rick. Make it rain over people. Sure you can make it rain by yourself. You could run around your room spreading the dough raining on your head as part of your nighttime routine and then go to sleep comfortably on your piles and piles of simoleons. Or, or you could take your stacks and liven up any party,
Starting point is 00:35:29 a coffee date with a friend or dinner time with your parents. Think of the endless possibilities. Okay. You absolute madman. You can't have dinner time with your parents and make it rain on them. There is no arrangement it rain on them. There is no-
Starting point is 00:35:45 Not on them, but it would be a real power move, right? You're like 23, 24, and your parents, you're going out to dinner with your parents and your parents are like, and how are you doing on money? Like, how are you like, oh, how am I doing on money? Maybe this will answer your question. And you turn out to the rest of the tables and you just start raining money onto their lives.
Starting point is 00:36:04 No, you make it, you honor your mother and you just start raining money onto their lives. You honor your mother and father, you make it rain on them. You think that the puddle should be splashing on my mom and papa for these rainbows. They've given you so much, you can't give them back 45 single dollar bills in a playful fashion while you're kicking it
Starting point is 00:36:21 at Ruby Tuesdays. At least a kiss of a spray. A kiss of a spray would do. A kiss of a spray for mom and dad. Just a kiss of a spray. A kiss of a spray would do. A kiss of a spray for mom and dad. Just a kiss of a spray. Maybe start on mom and dad, and then oscillate like a sprinkler around the room. You gotta miss. You gotta circle.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Tchoo, tchoo, tchoo, tchoo, tchoo. Tchoo, tchoo, tchoo, tchoo, tchoo, tchoo, tchoo. You can't just do one direction. You have to- You don't wanna pile up. Yeah, you don't wanna pile up. You wanna hit all corners of the room, and if the restaurant's too bad, you wanna space out other people making it rain, so that you get a nice, even coverage of the room, and if the restaurant's too bad, you wanna space out other people making it rain
Starting point is 00:36:47 so that you get a nice, even coverage of the room. So, you'll probably wanna coordinate together beforehand. Springing in on them could result in them diving for your cash or thinking you're a money-grubbing materialist, and who knows, maybe they'll wanna make it rain with you. Talk about a flood of money. That's so fucking cool. I've never made it rain or been present
Starting point is 00:37:07 when that would happen, because why the fuck would I, where would I be when, but if someone started to make it rain and then the one person receiving it was like, you know what? Also, yeah. Actually, yeah. Chk, chk, chk, chk, chk. That would be cool.
Starting point is 00:37:19 And then what if everybody in the nation did that? And then we all picked up the same number of dollar bills as what you needed, okay? And that's legally sort of mandated, right? That is not a sort of option. That's not legally mandated, but like, be cool. It could just be cool. And maybe at the end of the day, if it turns out you had some leftover,
Starting point is 00:37:37 you put it back into the thing. And then in the morning- You don't have to make, has any leftover. You just take exactly what you need. What you need, and It'll all add up. If there's any leftover, Trav, few churches, just for me. Maybe a little church or two.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Thank you Macro Brothers for fixing everything. You know that one scene in It's a Wonderful Life where the stock market's crashed and there's a run on the building and loan. And then he's like, you know what? I'm gonna give you guys my honeymoon money. I've got like, you know, $200 here, cause it's 19, 15, but I'll give everybody out
Starting point is 00:38:13 whatever you need. And that one guy walks up and he's like, I'll close out my account. I want $40. And everyone's like, dude, that's like so much money. And he's like, I want $40. And they give it to him anyway. That man should be exiled from the community.
Starting point is 00:38:25 They don't show that man again in the film. He should be pushed into a river. That's fucking nut-rageous, man. Yeah. There needs to be some punishment. This is such a... Griffin, that was really weird. That was like Travis and I were looking at a painting
Starting point is 00:38:41 and you were on the upstairs floor of a museum and you're like, the guys gotta see this. And you walked all the way down, they walked all the way over, you're like, guys, guys, guys, and we're like, well, we're looking at this painting. You're like, no, no, no, no, no, Jesse, Jesse, you gotta come with me.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And then like three minutes later, you're like, ta-da. Ta-da. What do you think? I'm not wrong though, right? That guy sucks shit. No, that guy sucks shit. Yeah, it's just like so- But he's not the biggest villain. If you're talking about capitalistic villains in the movie, it's a wonderful life.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Mr. Potter steals the deposit money. Oh, of course, man. You don't need me to tell you Mr. Potter is bad. I just want to remind you that this one man is also bad in the film. It's a wonderful life. Make it rain from a helicopter. Go big or go home, right?
Starting point is 00:39:19 You're gonna make it rain. Might as well make it rain. If a helicopter isn't readily available, find a high point you can drop it from. The rooftop, the Eiffel Tower, a mountain. If the helicopter isn't readily available, I'm going to need some more specifics than that. Like if my helicopter, if I can't get access to one period or if mine isn't readily available. I'm pretty sure any helicopter, when you put the money out the window, it's just gonna suck it upwards
Starting point is 00:39:47 into the threshing maw of the helicopter. Now Griffin, I'm sorry, but I assume the helicopter blades are pushing down, or else the helicopter would be going in the wrong direction. If the helicopter is pulling air up, it is rapidly descending. I'm not a scientist, but I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:40:08 it has to be pushing the air down to stay up. But the force of the suction above the helicopter would be higher than the push force below the helicopter. So it would suck it up into the blades and chop it up forever and ever until it was a fine dust. I feel like the helicopter expert has already cut us off in their TikTok.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Like they're like, that's enough from them. So here's my helicopter. I'm Hank Green, let me tell you. Stank Green probably does know about helicopters though. God dang it. Damn it. Shoot. So think of it as charity.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Have they taught, is there a section that's where they talk about picking it back up? Last's the last step, or just pick it back up. Because who has thousands of dollars to spend on strangers? Just know that if you do choose to make it on someone at your local Burger King, you'll probably have some pretty stiff competition when it comes to recollecting your change. That's awful. Finders keepers, losers weepers, you know, so maybe you should stick to your living room, bathtub, or at most backyard.
Starting point is 00:41:03 How much risk are you willing to take? This is a great point. If you do drop, if you make it rain from a helicopter, the amount of precipitation will be reduced by one helicopter ride of money. I see what you're saying. The cost is included. The cost of helicopter makes the rain less bode.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Like what if a helicopter costs $400 and you've got 430 to make it rain? Right. So that's overhead, there's literally overhead. Literal overhead, yeah, it's terrible. The problem there with it being spread out, Griffin, to your point, if I'm in a helicopter and I drop $31 bills, if 30 raindrops fell from the sky,
Starting point is 00:41:47 spread out over like 12 city blocks, people wouldn't be like, oh shit, it's raining. If I'm gonna drop bills from a helicopter, the number of bills I would have to drop for you to register. Yeah, joker levels. Yeah. Big burlap sacks. Yeah. Or big, huge money. Big burlap sacks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Or big, huge money. If I printed my own money and made it quite large, I think people would notice that. Yeah, yeah. The bills in Trap Nation are... Laminated. Really, they're laminated, they're boogie board sized. You drop giant novelty checks just raining down
Starting point is 00:42:20 for this guy. For one dollar each. They're made of fiberglass. Hurtling traffic around ground. Tragedy today. Somehow the suction force of the helicopter blades push them at lightning speeds down towards the ground. And some of them, conversely, rock it up into the air. Those were the asbestos ones. I just wasn't thinking. I lost my husband today.
Starting point is 00:42:48 But I got a dollar. I got, I think the shard of the check I got is worth about a buck 50. Hey, can we go to the money zone so we can make it maybe rain one day ourselves? Yeah, let's do it. They are ourselves. ["It's Better With You"] You gotta website it. You gotta get out there and make yourself known with a big, beautiful website.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Squarespace makes the biggest websites around. I don't think that's right. That's true. There's a toggle you can turn on and it makes the website so fucking big that you can't even fit it in your browser If someone tries to download it and break their computer because how many teraflops it has on it? Which is incredible. It's not just gonna be big though. It's gonna be a beautiful website Oh a BBW. A BBW. That's what that stands for and
Starting point is 00:43:41 Squarespace is gonna help you get there with it's an all-in-one website platform for entrepreneurs to stand out and succeed online with a beautiful BBW site. Squarespace. So Griffith, what you're saying is if I go to Google and search BBW, it'll take me straight to Squarespace. No, that's inaccurate. But I'll tell you what is accurate,

That's pretty good. Factor Meals, fuck yeah. Hey, when you listen to podcasts, it really just comes down to whether or not you like the sound of everyone's voices.
Starting point is 00:47:45 My voice is one of the sounds you'll hear on the podcast Dr. Game Show, and this is the voice of co-host and fearless leader Joe Firestone. This is a podcast where we play games submitted by listeners, and we play them with callers over Zoom we've never spoken to in our lives. So that is basically the concept of this show. Pretty chill. So take it basically the concept of this show. Pretty chill. So take it or leave it, bucko. And here's what some of the listeners have to say.
Starting point is 00:48:10 It's funny, wholesome, and it never fails to make me smile. I just started listening and I'm already binging it. I haven't laughed this hard in ages. I wish I discovered it sooner. You can find Dr. Game Show on maximumfun.org. Video games can make you laugh. They can make you cry. They can even make you sing.
Starting point is 00:48:31 We're the hosts of TripleClick. It's a podcast about video games. This is an exciting time for new games from Diablo to Final Fantasy. From Starfield to Street Fighter. From Zelda to... Oh, who are we kidding? We're just going to talk about Zelda. Whether we kidding? We're just gonna talk about Zelda. Whether you play games or you just like hearing about them,
Starting point is 00:48:48 we've got you covered. Find us at maximumfun.org or wherever you get your podcasts. Bye. I want a munch squad. I want to munch squad. Welcome to munch squad, the podcast of the podcast, profiling the latest and greatest in brand eating. I have one un-weed-lated story in the next episode. I have a story about-laden story,
Starting point is 00:49:29 and then I have two of people trying to get in on the 420 craze. But let's start off. I just wanna tell you first off, cause it's like tangentially related. Sonic is having groovy fries. Who's doing what? Sonic is doing groovy fries. It's a new fry that's hot.
Starting point is 00:49:47 It says here, it's a new fry that's hot, crisp, perfectly salted, and made with fry lovers in mind. Huh. What, as opposed to normal fries, where they're like, people who hate fries are gonna fucking love these unsalted wedges. We're gonna get them with beef. Are you guys ready to see Groovy Fries?
Starting point is 00:50:05 It's a Sonic innovation, their first fry refresh in 10 years. Here we go, Groovy Fries. Those are fries, man. Those are fries. It looks like there's a cup of fucking good burger sauce in the back. Oh, they have grooves.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Yeah, so they're Groovy Fries. Fuck off. I don't like that. They have improved taste and functionality with grooves made for perfect dipping. Guys, is that the deal with the crinkles? I've never thought about it until this exact second. Not once in my life.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Is that the deal with the crinkles? No. I think that's the deal with waffle fries is that you can scoop up and get like little membranes of ketchup inside of each little cranny. But the crinkle, I think, is just for weirdos who like not having a uniform potato eating experience. Can I tell you, one of my favorite Munch Squad occurrences
Starting point is 00:50:58 is when companies try to act like they just invented a thing that has been happening forever. Every other impression. But it's like, this is our new innovation, crinkle cut fries. Cookie. They were arrived at Sonic locations nationwide by mid-May and the brand promises more fun and crave worthy surprises in the months ahead. Ooh!
Starting point is 00:51:19 Their deep grooves allow for optimal dipping so fry fans can scoop up even more of their favorite sauce with each dip. I became uncomfortable with saying that sentence aloud about two thirds of the way through, but I had to power on through. Our Sonic Tots are iconic, but we thought it was time to give them some competition, says Mackenzie Gibson, admitting her fries are garbo and have been since the jump. With the new groovy fries,
Starting point is 00:51:46 we're redefining what a fast food fry can be and giving folks another reason to say, yes, I would like fries with that. I love it when these brands are like, yeah, it's been trash, our fries are trash. Yeah, man, we fucked up. They're fucking stupid ass fries, so the ketchup just slops right off of them,
Starting point is 00:52:03 dumb ass fries. Think about it. Try in your head right now, try to answer definitively Fucking stupid ass fries, the ketchup just slops right off of them dumb ass fries. Think about it, try in your head right now, try to answer definitively whether or not we sell french fries. I bet you can't do it. We're so sorry. But I'll say, I have four, two, four, 20 stories here for you guys. And one of these brands will be forced to never do a weed ad again.
Starting point is 00:52:20 How will I do that? Whichever one you all decide, I'm going to draft an email to their press department and tell them that they are no longer permitted to do a weed joke, but you guys get to decide who that email is going out to, okay? Okay. This is a lot of pressure. Jimmy John's lights up with the launch
Starting point is 00:52:36 of deliciously dope dime bag to celebrate 420. Damn, they really, they went pretty deep in the paint with that one, man. That's- They go really, man. That's a really OK. It's a new limited edition curated for 20 meal to celebrate the highest of unofficial holidays. Jimmy Johns is rolling out the deliciously dope dime bag. A curated meal with a tongue in cheek nod to four twenty culture.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Sure to give everyone's munchies. No, sir, to cure everyone's munchies. No, sir, to cure everyone's munchies. Jimmy John's, a go-to 420 destination is giving the people what they want with the launch of their new meal, available for order online starting today through April 21st for $10 with promo code Dimebag. Can I just say- Is it just a combo meal, but they're doing a deal on it? April 21st for $10 with promo code Dimebag. Can I just say- Is it just a combo meal, but they're doing a deal on it?
Starting point is 00:53:29 No, it says, Griffin, it's a limited edition bag that will be available at participating locations across the country. What's in it? What's in it? It contains all, well, it contains all you need to cure your 420 cravings. Can I just say, I don't, when I think about munchies, I've never eaten something when I had the munchies,
Starting point is 00:53:45 and I'm like, thank God it's cured. Listen, this is that, here's what you're gonna have on 420. It's a mouthwatering hand sliced smoked ham and provolone cheese sandwich top with jalapeno ranch, extra oregano basil, sliced pickles, crispy jalapenos, and fresh sliced lettuce and tomato and a spear of a fan favorite, Jimmy Pickle. And then there's a brownie in there for you and a chip.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Quote, Jimmy Johns is not new to 420, said Kate Carpenter. That's what I say anytime I rolled up to a party. Are you guys having weed? Cause I'm not new to 420. I know about it. We've celebrated with the highest people in the country by hosting- I don't-
Starting point is 00:54:30 That can't be true. If you were celebrating the launch of your sandwich bag with the highest, with me and the edge after sipping that good Dottura tea, just like, whoa! Some of them smoked so much weed, they stopped existing for a minute.
Starting point is 00:54:49 But our sandwiches brought them back from the edge, wink, wink. What if Jimmy John's was two guys? Ah! Ah! Ah! It's so... My sandwich has a heartbeat!
Starting point is 00:55:07 Ahhhhh! Celebrated with the highest people in the country. I'm the sandwich now! Oh no, me and the sandwich switched places! They hosted a sandwich filled celebration 10,000 feet above sea level. And there were no cops there. Last year we turned in Jimmy John's into a sandwich dispensary.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Oh man, that's good. With sandwich wrap rolling papers. Can I say I worked at a Jimmy John's for a couple months before quitting and one time I came in and my boss was like, you have too much stubble. And I said, I'm allowed to have a beard. It's in the dress code. And he said, you're allowed to have a beard
Starting point is 00:55:51 or be clean shaven, but not in between. And I said, Austin, for that was his name, I feel as though you don't understand the process that one reaches the beard with. And he handed me a rusty disposable razor and made me shave in the bathroom at Jimmy John's where the water did not get hot and there was no shaving cream.
Starting point is 00:56:10 So for that to happen and then years later, Jimmy John's to be like, we're fucking cool, we know we had a party. We know we had a party. We know we had a party. It's really hard for me to square that away. I wanted to let you guys know that select fans across the country will be surprised with additional merch
Starting point is 00:56:26 Including a Jimmy John's branded rolling tray for catching crumbs from the chips, of course They are wild for this one to put it bluntly Jimmy John's has high expectation for this year's celebration. You started just being like, fuck it, we love weed, and now they're getting cute? Yeah, this one, I won't, Jimmy John's can do as much weed stuff as they want to. They get a free, I don't know who the other one is
Starting point is 00:57:00 that you've got for us today, but they lose, because this is good, and I want Jimmy John's to stay out here making this art. Okay. Wingstop Hotbox is returning on April 20th with the Hot Chili Rub. Let's see here. The Hot Chili guys, THC.
Starting point is 00:57:18 This is the wettest box of non-soup food I've ever seen in my life. In Celebration 420, Wingstop is taking munchies to new highs with an elevated flavor experience to satisfy cravings nationwide. Available some the dates, the flavor experts are bringing back Wingstop Hotbox featuring their newest strain of THC,
Starting point is 00:57:42 the hot chili rub. Can I say to the art department at Wingstop, that while we're looking at an image here, and I believe what they're going for is like, it's a hotbox, right? So there's smoke coming out of it when you open it. But instead it does look like perhaps a witch's cauldron is bubbling
Starting point is 00:57:59 and there's maybe some mysterious steam and fog coming on. It's not giving hotbox so much as giving like middle school production. Ritual of something. Wingstop recognizes that fans love to celebrate this special day with Wingstop's flavors in hand. The Cook to Order Wingstop Hotbox will spark up fans' taste buds
Starting point is 00:58:21 with their choice of the iconic chicken sandwich, eight piece classic or boneless wings or three piece tenders. Bump this. No fucking way, Wingstop. All right. You get one more chance. Here's the quote. Our fans count on Wingstop to deliver flavor when cravings hit. And 420 is no different, says Melissa Cash, who kind of sounds like she's trying to make it sound like
Starting point is 00:58:46 they are not aiding and abetting. Like, we're not doing anything. It just, it's like any other day for us. They would eat the wings anyway. It's not a, it doesn't have to be a weed thing. At least they're getting their wings safe from us, where we know that the wings are pure and uncut. We run a bone exchange program here at Wingstop.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Meanwhile, Jimmy John's is raining syringes from a blip. Yeah, man. Onto the crowd waiting to get in Wingstop. They're just dumping big sandwich bags of cocaine. Listen, this year we're bringing back the Wingstop Hotbox with a bold new flavor that elevates any experience during this special day. Melissa, are you a cop? Are you an AI cop? Are you RoboCop maybe even? The AI cop.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Yeah, Wingstop, no. You don't know what you're doing with it. Jimmy John's, regardless of what you think about the company and its practices, they made some pretty good appeals to the stoner sensibilities. It gets worse at the end of the Wingstop one. It says THC, the hot chili rub, contains no cannabis THC or cannabis. Fucking, get out of here. Get out of here, you nerd.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Get out, get out. They don't know about 420 and what it means and what it stands for. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, maybe they don't go hunt elephants in Africa with a big gun, but they don't get the weed stuff, so. They also didn't make me shave
Starting point is 01:00:25 with a rusty razor though, too. That's true. That is the plus for Wingstop. Do you really think that man, who may or may not have been Jimmy John, when he killed that big elephant with that very big gun, he was probably. That was Jimmy John. He was probably pretty fucking high when he did that. You gotta think.
Starting point is 01:00:42 On adrenaline, if nothing else. This is a, no, I don't think I'm gonna make any excuses for Jamie John. You don't think? Well, he was high on Jordan Crushed Ivory. No, no, no. And he- He got high to kill the elephant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never, I've never in my life looked at an elephant
Starting point is 01:01:02 and been like, bit it'd feel pretty cool to kill that. But I'm sure- This is what driven is heard. Yes. It's really important to stress. But there's probably- I think you should only be allowed to kill an elephant if you've taped two knives to your face.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Yeah. And you go at it, you're on all fours, elephant's on all fours, tusk to tusk. Then if you manage to kill an elephant like that, Yeah. I gotta give it to you. They don't tell you this about the limitless pill. One of the limits is I shouldn't be killing these.
Starting point is 01:01:33 I shouldn't hunt an elephant. That's a limit. That's a limit that we set on ourselves, morally, ethically, legally. That is a limit. The limitless pill means you're gonna blow right past that. It's the first thought you have is, gotta kill one of these big elephants.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Number two is, I'm gonna reorganize my kitchen. I would like to see Limitless 2, where they give the Limitless pill to elephants. Yes. And just see what happens. Yeah. I mean, at a certain point, if there's no limits, then let's just go wild.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Let's get silly. Yeah. We've had a lot of fun here today, Juice. We've had a lot of fun, but you know what? We've had a lot of fun here today, Juice. We've had a lot of fun, but you know what? We've had a lot of fun here today. You know what's even more fun? What? When people buy tickets to see our shows.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Oh my gosh. I thought you were gonna say when people come to our shows or doing the shows or getting a chance to get back out there. That's fun, but I like when they buy the tickets. Yeah. That makes me feel happy and then lets me make it rain in limited quantities in responsible locations. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Yeah. Now, if you're coming to the Chicago, My Brother, My Brother and Me show, congratulations, because that's sold out. So you got tickets to it when it was cool. But if you're gonna be there and you want questions that are answered, make sure that you send us those with Chicago

Starting point is 01:04:01 I started, this is not a joke, I started playing it in my car while I was driving my kids around. I was playing What You Mean To Me, which my girls love. And Dot goes, Montaigne, how did you find Montaigne music? And I said, on my phone, baby. And she was like, phones are amazing.
