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 My 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, it's better with you. Hello everybody, welcome to My Brother, My Brother and Me as a advice show for the modern era. Remember your oldest brother, Jingle Justin Becker? Ooh, what's up, Trap Nation? Jingle Jangle, old Chris Crangle. Travis, big dog wolf. What's up, Trap Nation? Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Park have the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, wolf has a way. What a Trap Nation, I am your middle-est brother. Travis Big Dog Wolf, McElroy, McElroy. As you've certainly guessed now, it's our candle night spectacular here at the McElroy, McElroy, McElroy. As you certainly guessed now, it's our candle night spectacular here at the McElroy Ranch. Griffin has frozen completely.
Starting point is 00:01:50 No, he's back, okay? That was just my body. It's a global fashion brother snowdown. I just kind of stopped for a bit. This is the one that you can gather the family around and say, this is that show I warned you about, and then play it for them. Everybody can have a good time listening
Starting point is 00:02:04 because we're not gonna swear. So get your Mee-Maw, get your Pop-Pop, get Lil Mee-Maw, which is what I see me call the baby. Because she's Lil and Wrinkled too. She looks like Mee-Maw, right? And it's like, oh, that baby looks a lot like- Get baby Mee-Maw. Get baby Mee-Maw, get big Mee-Maw,
Starting point is 00:02:20 get medium Mee-Maw, your middle-est Mee-Maw, all the Mee-Maws. Unstack your Mee-Maws of different sizes. Yeah, open them up. There's one Mee-Maw inside each Mee-Maw, your middle-est Mee-Maw, all the Mee-Maws. Unstack your Mee-Maws of different sizes. Yeah, open them up. Get your Mee-Maw. There's one Mee-Maw inside each Mee-Maw until you get down to a little egg. And that's a baby Mee-Maw inside that egg.
Starting point is 00:02:34 That's the life cycle. I think you can all listen. That's the Mee-Maw life cycle. That's true. 10 years ago, we invented this holiday, a Canaanites, that's my understanding. What did we do the first four years? We just cursed up a storm every Christmas.
Starting point is 00:02:48 We were on that Christmas creep, if memory serves. Yeah, we were on the Christmas creep, and then we eventually invented our own holiday where the money is. Right. Yeah. And we wanted to come to you. I will say this, if you didn't catch our video special, our Candlelights, annual Candlelights special,
Starting point is 00:03:02 you can still go to bit.ly forward slash Candlelights Tickets 2024 and watch it. It's just five bucks and the folks at Army House can really use your donation. They are the beneficiaries of all ticket sales this year. And so if you wanna go watch that special, you can pledge five, you can even kick in a few extra bucks if you wanna be a real supporter about it.
Starting point is 00:03:20 And there's merch. We got merch, Candle Nights posters, Candle Nights ornaments and like the special, imagine like you're hearing this, right, and you're like, how could it get any better than this? But then imagine just three silver foxes coming to you live and also dad's there, so a fourth older, much creakier silver fox.
Starting point is 00:03:39 More of a white fox at this point. A white fox, like a ghost is there. Sounds like his Metal Gear Solid like agent code name. Yeah, there you go, ghost old fox. And then we- I don't really wanna see that dressed up as old snake now. That would kick so much, dude. Silver snake.
Starting point is 00:03:52 That is so- And then, and we've got guests and there's segments and there's a, I will just say amazing, my favorite, Justin, I loved you put in the work and did like four different segments. Oh yeah, I did a lot of segments. Griffin at Wendel, they got a DJ and Rachel dancing. They got a professional DJ in,
Starting point is 00:04:10 how can I compete with that? A professional DJ and flight answer, so you can't beat that. Big.ly slash Candle Nights tickets 2024, I believe. Please go do that. And now we're gonna help you. You're welcome. The other day, my young nephew asked me
Starting point is 00:04:24 if my 17 month old daughter quote has gotten an elf on the shelf yet. I said not yet, but my husband and I have no interest in having an elf on the shelf or doing any of the work that goes its day to day lore. No, sorry, lore day to day. I don't want to do the elf, but I also don't want to spoil anything for my nephews in regards to the magic of the holidays. They live in an active elf home.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I feel like I got away with this if my kid is still very young, but I fear next year the same questions are posed. Brothers, any advice on how to keep the magic alive, but not yet bring quite as much of it into my home via an elf, that's from my shelves or for books and knickknacks only. You have control over the mythos in your home.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Sure. You don't have much control over much stuff in your home, but the mythos you your home. Sure. You don't have much control over much stuff in your home, but the mythos you do have control over. If your kid comes and asks, you say, that's made up. You say a lot of the, I know you probably think a lot of the stuff we do seems wild and out of pocket. A man who can go through ventilation into our home to give us free things.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Like some kind of solid snake? Like some sort of solid silver white snake. That's pretty far fetched. You can say, no, that one's real. If you can believe it, that one's real. The elf? You can buy at Walmart? You can buy at-
Starting point is 00:05:42 He's in a box at Walmart. Do you want me to show you the box the elf comes in? You are pulling at a very delicate sweater, my boys. You're pulling at a real delicate sweater. That's gonna raise a lot of questions that you may not feel so jazzed about answering about what is and isn't real. And you may find it's a little easier
Starting point is 00:06:03 just to buy the elf and let him live in your home. Let me offer this. Let me offer this. Real elf, by the way, just to be clear, the elf is real. Travis and Griffin, they're kidding. Let me offer this. You tell your child that the elf is only assigned to kids who are kinda on the bubble.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And like Santa's keeping track, needs a closer eye on them for the naughty and nice list. Right? But if your fate's already decided one way or the other, no need for an elf. We have an elf, and I would be comfortable telling my kids that, that they're kind of on the fence. They're on the bubble, yeah. They need a little extra help
Starting point is 00:06:41 to get them back on the straight and narrow. I would say, and this is why screen time's so important, I would simply load up their iPads to the Wikipedia article for the Elf on the Shelf. If I may, this was a book and toy that came out in 2005. This is not a, it's not even 20 years old yet. Christmas tradition, this does not make, I refuse to let this tiny little embodiment
Starting point is 00:07:04 of the police state into my home to watch my kids and have to be in all kinds of wild scenarios. I'm climbing out of the blender today, woo! I think that's adorable when people who subscribe to Santa grouse about the police state in relation to the Elf in the Shell. That's different, Santa's just a judgmental neighbor. This is a-
Starting point is 00:07:23 Santa's a man who's watching everything you do and deciding whether or not you get gifts. You cannot draw this like, I don't want some space cop, that's Santa. But I don't get to choose. To Griffin's point, I don't get to choose if my kids are like, know about Santa. Yeah, Santa's omniscient, right?
Starting point is 00:07:40 There's nothing we can do about that. Elf on the Shelf infringes upon my Fourth Amendment rights in a direct and physical, tangible way. I don't have to install a Santa simulacrum in my house to watch my kids. I want you to know that if your adorable kids walk into my home and start talking a bunch of yay about Clarice and her relative realness,
Starting point is 00:07:59 I will hang your kids out to dry as the heretics that they are. I will say they aren't getting any of their justice. That's fair, Justin, I get that. They're bad kids. They're liars and bad kids, they're confused. I would load up on my kids' iPad every TikTok video I see related to Elf on the Shelf,
Starting point is 00:08:16 which seems to be one of- Sorry, I just wanna be clear. You've slipped it. You've downloaded TikToks, Granville? I don't know, but there's one of two. They're always in one of two veins, which is one, looks like the elf destroyed your toy, ate your food, cut up your pajamas, what a jerk,
Starting point is 00:08:32 or two, a child, a younger sibling usually, has touched the elf and now everyone's lives are ruined. Yeah, it's hard to have kids for sure. They're always touching things and screaming, but sometimes you just gotta get the elf and move them around. I've never seen a single video of a child going, I love that this elf is here.
Starting point is 00:08:54 No, they're bad. They're objectively bad. I wanna know about the algo you're freaking surfing on, dude, where you're getting elf on the shelf snuff films. Elf on the shelf snuff films. Elf on the snuff. Just like, oh man, it's late at night. I wanna just see some kids touch elves
Starting point is 00:09:10 and watch them perish. My TikTok is like, oh, you like videos where it looks like the dog is having a conversation with this person and you love, oh, this toddler said a funny thing. Cool. Here's a child killing magic in their home. Did you like that?
Starting point is 00:09:24 Is that- Why is it better for the- why is it better than watching Travis kill magic when he looks at his dog and says it's just a toy? That's magic killing. I- I didn't advocate for it's just a toy. I advocated for it on the bubble. On the bubble. Okay. And that's not one of the real elves. That's a store-bought version. Now, Gryffin, I see the color of your monitor flashing as you desperately search for something on the internet. I was just reading the Wikipedia article
Starting point is 00:09:47 for the elf on the shelf. Frankly, my dudes. If you give your kids Wikipedia access, you might as well move out. That's a good point. I'm not gonna crack that open. Yeah, it's over. I'm just saying, it seems like we could come up
Starting point is 00:09:58 with a way, way cooler elf on the shelf that would then turn into its own sort of multimedia, like, uber franchise in the way. We got a stuffed animal once and it was an official Elf on the Shelf Saint Bernard and he came with his own book about how the Elves on the Shelf used these Saint Bernard's to store up Christmas spirit so they can use it when they, I guess, buy on the kids for Santa Claus later in the year. And we didn't know what elf on the shelf, well, my kids didn't know what elf on the shelf was.
Starting point is 00:10:28 To them, this was like getting a battle cat without a he-man knowledge. And so that's their entry point into the series. We should, okay, what about this? Hey, okay, parents, I'm gonna do it for you. You don't have to buy anything new, right? What you're gonna do is just every year, pick a different toy that already exists
Starting point is 00:10:47 and you're gonna wire them up with a microphone. Cool. And you're gonna tell your kids that there's a mole. Santa's got a mole on the inside and you don't know which one it is. And now it's you gotta find that mole. Who's the confidential informant? Who's narking on him?
Starting point is 00:11:02 You know what I mean? And then it's like, oh, what's that? Oh, Raggedy Ann is wearing a wire, right? who's the confidential informant, who's narking on him, you know what I mean? And then it's like, oh, what's that? Oh, Raggedy Ann is wearing a wire, right? I don't know if the concern here was, we're gonna have to spend a bunch of money on elves. I think it's probably, my concern would be, I'm gonna have to think of clever situations
Starting point is 00:11:19 for this little scamp to get into every day. For me, that's the point, pushing against it. Cause otherwise, you could just say, yeah, there's an elf on the shelf in our house now. He's really, really good at hiding. It's the best in the mail, I see. Really good. I don't think you guys have fully appreciated one thing,
Starting point is 00:11:39 that there is a good three to four minutes every morning that my kids spend looking for the elf that they must have been talking to me. But how much time of your own private time did you spend looking like out of the bread box? No, we've done that. Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, Griffin, you're confused. That's high Justin, his problem.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Also, I'm pretty sure the elf moves on its own, Griffin. The elf- He's great at it. He loves it, honestly. He loves the challenge. I'm curious what Hi Justin brings to this operation. Yesterday, yesterday the elf was hanging upside down in the lamp, and underneath
Starting point is 00:12:13 where the elf was hanging, I put a pile of mini iminibs, and I said, Sid, does that read? Like you threw up? Or like, these fell out of his pockets, I think it reads. That's the kind of one I was it reads. Or like, these fell out of his pockets. I think it reads. That's the kind of one I was going with. I was like, I spent a good two minutes, let's be fair, 90 seconds,
Starting point is 00:12:30 try and figure out how to suspend an M&M in midair to have like the effect. Oh, cool. You know, land. But no, no, no, it's just a fun little tableau. You know what? I don't actually mind doing it because it makes my kids happy.
Starting point is 00:12:41 I guess that's why. You don't have to do that. All right, okay. You can't pivot from three to four minutes where my kids don't talk to me too. I do it because it makes my kids happy. I contain multitudes. My brother-in-law messaged me, letting me know
Starting point is 00:12:55 what he got my husband for Kaelinites. It's not something he'd like at all, to the point where I'm not sure where he came up with the idea. It's slightly more my speed. Gotta catch them all. You know how it is, but barely. What is the best way, and a lot of my brother-in-law,
Starting point is 00:13:08 to tell him the gift is fine without laying it on too thick? He'll love it is so far beyond the truth that I can't bring myself to type it. Please, brothers, I've already pretended I haven't seen the message for like 15 minutes. I can't go silent for too long. As from present panic in the palmetto state. I will say this about parenthood.
Starting point is 00:13:26 This is one thing that you gotta confront pretty quickly. Yeah. Because we get a lot of these texts, I would say, every year from multiple people. Yeah, I'm gonna get Henry here, the complete works of William Shakespeare. Don't do that! He won't like that.
Starting point is 00:13:42 In there, you hit the nail on the head. First of all, question asker, you're not in the wrong because your brother-in-law texted you past tense, I got this for them already. That's where they messed up. It's gotta be- The only thing you can say is, oh, he'll love it. Right. He'll love it.
Starting point is 00:13:59 At that point, just say, oh, sounds great, oh, he'll love it. But that's why you text and say, I'm thinking about getting this, I'm going to get, this is what I'm looking at, would they like this? Because once they've made the purchase, that, no, I'm not gonna give you negative feedback at that point. Yeah, of course not.
Starting point is 00:14:17 But you don't wanna ruin Christmas. One, Christmas is gonna be ruined for one of these two people, the gift giver or the gift receiver, right? Cause if you get it, guys, we're all adults here. The presents aren't even what it's about for me anymore. Okay, it's the money? Applause, please.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Just a little recognition that what I said was like pretty huge and pretty like cool, I thought. It's not even about the presents for me anymore. But if I get a real stinker of a present. Thank you, Travis. Thank you. You're welcome Griffin. I thought I cussed and you were clapping to Mark.
Starting point is 00:14:51 No, no, no, no, no. That's why I didn't clap the first time but then you seemed to really need it. You needed it. I did need it. It's not even about the present. That's his grown up Christmas wish. I'm kind of grown up now
Starting point is 00:15:01 because for me it used to be about all the presents. Yeah. Okay, so what's it about now? But it's definitely different now. because for me it used to be about all the presents. Yeah. Okay, so what's it about now? But it's definitely different now. Religion? But it's not about religion, it's about, I guess, the time you spend with your family. Opening presents?
Starting point is 00:15:14 Not even about that for me anymore, but if I do get a real stinker of a present, I'll be in a mood. How could you get me so, how could you get me so, how could you get me? I don't think that's true what you're saying. I wouldn't be in a mood, but you may be referenced, I will say there is definitely a historical reason
Starting point is 00:15:29 to believe this, that you will be made the butt of a joke for the rest of their lives. Yeah. I'll say this. Yeah. Especially if it's a real wild pull, if it's like, what, why would I want these like Hummel figurines or whatever, right?
Starting point is 00:15:44 That's gonna be referenced. I love our dad. I think I'm on record saying that in a lot of places. I love you, dad. Dad might see this or listen to this. I love you, dad. Griffin has been clear about that since at least 2021. I'm sure he loves on that.
Starting point is 00:16:00 COVID, I really did a lot of work to love him. He fell in love with his dad. Oh, I love my dad as of work. He fell in love with his dad all over again. I love my dad as of COVID. But one Christmas, within the last decade, so as an adult man, dad came up to me after the Christmas stuff was done and had another little present for me.
Starting point is 00:16:23 He's like, here, this one's for you too. I forgot to put it under the tree. I was like, oh, okay, cool. Thinking like, here we go, Red Rider BB gun. It's a Nintendo 64. There's something little special, something else that Santa sneaked away there. And I opened it up and it was a biography
Starting point is 00:16:38 about Frank Sinatra, old blue eyes. Heck yeah, was it the way you wear your hat? It's the, I guess the way I wear my hat and my cool general. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, no, I thought you were saying, why did dad think that he's-
Starting point is 00:16:50 Do you wear your hat in an interesting and unique way? I don't know, I don't know how to say this more clearly. I don't care about Frank Sinatra or that whole vibe at all. I think it's so boring and I do not understand it. I think he sucks and he's boring. He's the Snoopy of dudes and dad, apropos of, I don't even like books, especially not biography books
Starting point is 00:17:18 about a dude I don't like. Yeah, dad, we didn't have a total money growing up and a lot of times dad would have promotional items from the radio station that people would send for review that would end up as like, well, who is this the best student for? Like you might end up with a season one of Billy Ray Cyrus' doc on DVD, for example.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah. Oh yeah, I guess I, do you have a DVD player? That's a good call. Yeah, that's a good fit. The point of that story being that when we do reference like a way out of left, way out of pocket present pick, we do, me and Rachel do usually use a Frank Sinatra biography as shorthand
Starting point is 00:17:52 for what that would be, which is a gift, which is a kind thing to give someone an inside joke, even if you are the butt of it. I remember a year after Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl came out, which I saw in theaters nine times. Was that the first one? Yes, correct.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And dad got us all replica swords. And if I remember correctly, you guys got, I don't know, like the Sword of Gondor or like the Bride's Blade, the Auditorium Hanzo. I got the Buster Sword, dude. The Buster Sword. And then I opened mine, and it's like this four foot long broadsword
Starting point is 00:18:27 where the hilt was a huge skull and crossbones, and you could pull two of the bones out and they were daggers. And dad said, you know, this is a replica of the sword from Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, that's so good. That was a good idea. And it simply is not. It simply is not from Pirates of the Caribbean. That one was, and it simply is not.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It simply is not from Pirates of the Caribbean. And also- Is there a notable sword in Pirates of the Caribbean? A beloved sword? There is a sword or two. They use swords quite often. None of them are like two handed broadswords with a giant skull in the middle of it.
Starting point is 00:19:02 You can see Orlando Bloom bring out Travis. It did rule, but I was also in college in Oklahoma and I had to fly back and forth for school. And I know that you can check some things in a bag. I did not have a suitcase capable of checking a four foot long two minute broadsword in. Get out your seat for your steal. What I love about that story is it does cover both ends
Starting point is 00:19:23 of the surprise out of pocket present gambit, which is that me receiving the Buster Sword, that was a very good Christmas present. That one hit real good. I used that to cut up watermelon in my first apartment I lived in. That thing ruled. I remember that.
Starting point is 00:19:36 That was good. What's fun is if Dad is listening to this right now, I know that that pirate sword big skull thing is hanging on the wall of his office. And he's probably looking at it right now, maybe realizing for the first time that it is not a replica sword for Pirates of the Caribbean. And in fact, just a giant pirate broadsword.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yeah. Hey, do you guys remember when we found that sword behind the bushes? I do. Can I ask you about that? I just think about it. This is, you're about to like establish some deep, deep McElroy lore
Starting point is 00:20:07 that I can't believe is not out there. Okay, well then, Travis, remember, okay. I remember it. Okay, so we all remember at one day, and so in front of our house, our ancestral home on 10th Street in Hunchback, West Virginia, there was row bushes outside the porch.
Starting point is 00:20:20 And one day we went behind the bushes, and that was a thing. Going behind the bushes was an issue, right? You had to really get back there. It was a whole production. You'd usually get poked by thorns. So nobody wanted to go behind the bushes. But one day we went behind the bushes and we found a,
Starting point is 00:20:34 I mean, without knowing anything about swords, I got it looked like a civil war era saber, right? That's exactly how I would describe it. Very beat up. Like the, I remember the scabbard, like the end of it was like broken off. Yes, so here's what I want. And so we, for years, as you can imagine,
Starting point is 00:20:55 being young boys, finding a sword behind some bushes, it's like incredible. And we, for years, like we had this sword, we talked about it, wondered about it. It is occurring to me now, Trav and Griff, talking through this, dad definitely bought that sword and didn't want mom to know he bought the sword.
Starting point is 00:21:16 100,000% Justin. It's, I, guys, I'm 44 years old and I realized 20 minutes ago, dad definitely bought the sword. Bought it like an antique store or a rummage sale or something. And he put it behind the bushes as a fun little thing or because he didn't want mom to be mad at him.
Starting point is 00:21:36 It was one of the two. Whoa, a sword? How weird. How did this get here? I guess I should keep this in my room. I guess it chose me. Hard disagree, guys. I think a big Civil War fight happened outside our house.
Starting point is 00:21:49 And I think a general from the back. From the year 1994? Yeah. No, in the Civil War. Cause it wasn't there when we moved in. And it wasn't buried, Griffin. It was just sitting on the ground. You don't know it wasn't buried,
Starting point is 00:22:00 and tectonic shifting pushed it upwards, oil. We had a 3.3 earthquake here in Huntington this week. It happens, it unearths old Civil War swords every time that that happens. There's a whole strata of them under the surface. It doesn't take much for one of them to perk up. Happens all the time. And so this sword, which does have magic properties,
Starting point is 00:22:20 was very real and a relic, and I don't know where it is right now. If it got thrown away, did it get thrown away? Probably, it was an old sword, it was pretty beat up. And it was definitely for the Union, so don't ask. So- It was a magic Union blade. Hey, everybody, it's holiday season.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And you know what that means? It means holiday specials. Yeah. And who makes the most beloved holiday specials? Well, that's right, Rankin Bass. But what you may not know folks at home, Rankin' Bass has a huge list of specials that they have made that you may not have heard of. And so I would like to play a little game
Starting point is 00:22:54 that I'm calling Rankin' Bass or Stankin', and I have to say butt here, but I think you can infer. Rankin' Bass or Stankin' Butt. I think you're able to infer. I think that that is basically, you made everyone think a cuss, which is like in some ways worse than saying it. Unless they don't know it.
Starting point is 00:23:11 If they already know it, that's their fault. If they think the cuss, it's on them. I'm gonna give you three titles. One of them is an actual Rankin' Bass special, and two of them I have made up. This is inspired by, of course, Telly Title Tellers, which you may have seen on on my family club.
Starting point is 00:23:27 McElroy Family House. Okay, first round, I got four of these, you ready? Yeah. Four rounds or four titles? Four rounds, three titles each. For a total of 12. Sure, just like there are months in the year, think about it folks. Sure, if you say so.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Sure. All right, John Nash. All right. Oh, no. Willie Mays Hayes and the Say Hey Kid, Hank Aaron and the Wind Up Toy Boy, Nolan Ryan and the Cat with No Name. That's cool. All those are cool, cool, cool names.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Wow, Trav, I didn't think you... I was expecting like, you're without a Santa Claus or something. Give them one more time, because all I heard was just like names flying past me. Okay, Willie Mays and the Say Hey Kid, Hank Aaron and the Wind Up Toy Boy, Nolan Ryan and the Cat with No Name.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I gotta do this. I can probably say the Wind Up Toy Boy, not the Wind Up Toy Boy. No, there's no way to say it that way. I feel pretty strongly as Hank Aaron and the Wind Up Toy boy. No, there's no way to say it that way. It is, I feel pretty strongly as Hank Aaron and the wind up toy boy. That hits right. I think the Say Hey Kid, that seems so weird.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Willie Mays sounds like the oldest one and Rankin' Bass movies are pretty old. What do you got, Trev? It is Willie Mays and the Say Hey Kid. A guardian angel agrees to help Willie Mays win the National League pennant. If Mays agrees to take care of Veronica, a lonely mischievous orphan girl.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Veronica makes Mays' life difficult, but when relatives show up to claim her after hearing that she's inherited money, Mays' heart softens. Wow. Is this an animated film? It is. Cool. It's the ABC film? It is. Cool.
Starting point is 00:25:05 It's the ABC Saturday Superstar movie. Okay, you ready for the next one? Yeah. The fairy's holiday trove, the leprechaun's Christmas gold, or the mermaid's first Christmas? First, what was the first one again? The fairy's holiday trove.
Starting point is 00:25:23 And the second one again, what was that? The leprechaun's Christmas gold. Go ahead and give me that third one one more time. The mermaid's first Christmas. It's the first one, I think. The fairy's holiday trove. That's my guess. I think that that is, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:25:40 trove just seems like a strange word for you to use. Yeah, for sure. I really like the leprechaun's Christmas gold a lot because I feel like there's a lot of story potential there. So I'll pick that one. Griffin is correct. And I actually love this movie. It's on a weird rank and bass collection we have
Starting point is 00:25:59 that includes the Frank album, the true story of Santa Claus, that includes him becoming immortal because the band of fairies gives him immortality. But in the Leprechaun's Christmas gold, a young Irish boy on a ship passing by an island realizes it's Christmas and he paddles a boat over to get a Christmas tree and then digging it up,
Starting point is 00:26:19 frees a banshee from her prison and she tries to steal Christmas gold and she's a shape shifter. And the only way to know is she's always crying. And with the help of St. Patrick, the leprechauns have to trick her into turning to liquid so they can replant a pine cone to trap her back under a Christmas tree.
Starting point is 00:26:38 This movie sounds lit actually. Rules, it's so good and has some great songs in it. But my favorite is the casting where Art Carney plays Barney Kehlarney. And just saying it makes me so happy. Yowza. Okay, next one. Tommy McBlunder and his Marvelous Wonder,
Starting point is 00:26:58 Willie McBean and his Magic Machine, or Susie McCarville and her miraculous Marvel. Willie McBean sounds, it hits, I'm nostalgic for Willie McBean and I don't even know who he is. But is that because you're Thinking of Willie Beamish? The Sega CD point and click adventure game?
Starting point is 00:27:20 I don't know, I thought of that. What do you think Justin? It's in know, thought of that. What do you think, Justin? It's in your brother's heart somewhere. I think it, say the names. Tommy McBlunder and his- But look in my eye, take your sunglasses off. Take your sunglasses off. Just regular glasses, I can't read it.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I can't read it. Tommy McBlunder and his Marvelous Wonder. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on. Put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put it back on, put a young schoolboy who teams up with an anthropomorphic monkey named Pablo to prevent the villainous professor Rasputin von Rotten from changing the history of the world using the newly created and duplicated magic time machine. Yeah, I remember that one. Sounds good. Yeah. So right now it's two to one, Griffin Leaning. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:19 It's sad at the end of that movie when Pablo gets pulled into the time fan, which is the sort of propulsive force on the machine and his body's destroyed and scattered throughout history. But there is one molecule of Pablo in every- In everything, we are all Pablo. We are all Pablo stuff. Breathe in that monkey's red juice.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Okay, here's the last one. The Godzilla show, the Ultraman show, or the King Kong show? I mean- I think Rankin-Bass did a... What was the first- The Godzilla show, the Ultraman show, or the King Kong show? I feel like Rankin-Bass would have done...
Starting point is 00:29:00 I feel like they would have gotten Japanese companies to do the first two properties. To me, I feel like an American company would have gotten King Kong. Or they might be an English company, by the way. Yeah, I would say King Kong. I like Ultraman. Me too, he kicks butt.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Yeah. I'll say him. You'll say Ultraman. Justin's correct, it's gonna tie it up. We're gonna ending here on a tie, everybody wins. In this, the King Kong show, in this series, the giant ape befriends the Bond family, with whom he goes on various adventures.
Starting point is 00:29:30 James Bond? Heck yeah! Fighting monsters, robots, aliens, mad scientists and other threats. Unlike King Kong's destructive roles in this film, the cartoon turned him into a protector of humanity. Now what's interesting, Justin, is you got the answer right, but for the wrong reason.
Starting point is 00:29:45 This was actually the first anime made by a Japanese company for American audiences teamed up with Rankin-Bass, written by Rankin-Bass, but animated in Japan and sent over here. There were a lot of those, by the way. They made several like kaiju style movies written by Rankin-Bass but made in Japan. In this one, King Kong wanted to be a podiatrist
Starting point is 00:30:09 and he had to leave Skull Island. Hey, did you know Rankin-Bass made Thundercats? I didn't know that. Yeah. But I also never really cared to find out. Okay, cool. Fun energy. I'm not saying that, no, no, no, I'm not saying
Starting point is 00:30:24 I resent what you just did for me. I'm saying I personally would not have sought that information out. I'm not mad that you've given it to me. On that cheerful, high energy note, we will take a break and follow us into the money town. I'm not saying the content is bad, Justin. I don't like being characterized
Starting point is 00:30:39 like I say the content's bad. I think the content's great. We left the room. Would I have done it? Not on my own, no. It's like I say the content's bad. I think the content's great. We left the room. Would I have done it? Not on my own, no. ["It's Better With You"] I'll tell you what you could do on your own, Griffin.
Starting point is 00:31:00 That's find a doctor, thanks to ZocDoc, right? Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I went on ZocDoc, right? Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. I went on ZocDoc and it's a shame that this is our Candle Nights episode because there's some ideas that are about to be expressed that may be challenging for young years, but to get a special sterilization operation,
Starting point is 00:31:17 I went on ZocDoc. Do you guys understand what I'm saying? And it wasn't mandatory. This wasn't like a state enforced- It wasn't mandatory from, as a client, ZockDoc wasn't like, and also, if you could go use our service to find someone- In order to use the service-
Starting point is 00:31:34 In order to use the service- In order for us to pay, we will pay you, we will pay you- Go ahead and say, Justin, 25 bucks. I don't think it's a good, I don't think it's a good- A good budget. I don't think, ZockDoc, ZockDoc won't good energy. A good budget. I don't think, ZocDoc,
Starting point is 00:31:46 ZocDoc won't even make you get a surgery that you don't wanna get. That's true. 100%. No, but they did. They're really flexible about that kind of thing. They did genuinely help me find my number one dude at this point who did my vasectomy and just a really bang up job, really spectacular.
Starting point is 00:32:02 ZocDoc is a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in-network doctors, choose the right ones for your needs, and click to instantly book an appointment.

Starting point is 00:32:35 we try to enforce that. But he started calling it his gunky stuff. And that's really terrific. That's really terrific. Wow, that's good. That's something really good. When we say anything else at this point, he's trying to get it started,

It's a normal one for a change. Hi brothers back, Roy. This year for Christmas, I'm getting both of my parents some video games on the Switch we have in the house. How far we've come.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I've already figured out the games. The only issue is I bought them digitally. So there isn't actually anything I have for the video games to put under the tree. Just saying like, hey, I bought games that you can't unwrap them, they're digital, feels awkward. Any solutions will be appreciated.
Starting point is 00:35:05 That's from wrapping in Washu. I mean, I personally would love for my kid to hand me their homemade Snipperclips box art. I think that would really mean a lot to me if they made their own little Snipperclips box. Get a boring clothes box and just draw on it the game art and then wrap it up. And then they're gonna be really excited
Starting point is 00:35:31 to get a little art from you too. That's way better than what I was gonna say. Oh, Travis, no, don't say that. You don't know that. I was gonna say find an empty box with a cool present, but it's just the box. And when you look at it, you're like, oh my God, you got me a cool.
Starting point is 00:35:43 And then they open it, it's just a note that's like, I got you Animal Crossing. It's on your Switch already. Yeah, it is worse. Yeah, I'm sorry. I should've let you. Yeah, you encouraged me to say it after I admitted yours was better.
Starting point is 00:35:54 I shouldn't have made you say that. I don't understand why you made me do that. It wasn't very kind. I had conceded and yet. You actually can't give anyone a digital gift. I'm so sorry. It's the one, it's the only thing. And I get it, like, holy crap,
Starting point is 00:36:10 it would be so much easier and better for everyone if we could just say like, and also, I bought you a digital copy of that movie you like so much and have it hit, but it hasn't hit ever. It's hard, you just can't do it though. I mean, it can be nice, but you can't. You can't do it, because it's not real and they don't own it, is the only other thing,
Starting point is 00:36:32 because it's a license. The gift I've given you is I've temporarily, because of my money, allowed you to watch. Rented you a license to play Snuper Gloops. Yes, for now, until this store goes belly up and then who knows? Who knows at that point? Well, that's why you download it and then you take your whole thing off the grid.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Yeah. And then they can't get it off there. They can't take it back. They can't take it back. I gave you a fully jailbroken. That's why I'm downloading all my TikToks now. I'm just going through and just downloading every TikTok I can while there's still time and just saving them all.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Then eventually I'll have my own offline TikTok. And the legend, there would have been time now I can scroll through every TikTok till I reach the end. I am not worried about the ban, you guys. I will just get access to Travis's private stuff. Yeah, man. Travis's special stuff. My TikTok is finite.
Starting point is 00:37:23 The only new TikToks after all, I will be my own that I make. Where I'm just gonna take old TikToks and remake them in my own image. Yeah. There's not a digital gift you can give that's gonna hit, but you could give a small gift, really in anything, anything, you can hand them a little capsule toy capsule
Starting point is 00:37:42 and say, Merry Christmas. Also- Just the capsule? Also, I got you digital snipper clips. No, there would need to be a toy or prize or present inside. I'm giving them a little- Here's a candle. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And also I got you snipper clips. Awesome. You can't do either one of those on their own. I got you a candle. Okay. Turn on your TV. There's snipper clips on it. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Together. I know, this is great. You could have given them a thing that they like, but instead you've given them a thing and also something that they like. Oh, that's great. So you've tied the present, you've tied the good present to a tangible object.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Yeah, so you've tied an idea that they, a concept. Right. The illumination of the candle is secondary. The value of the candle is its symbolic attachment to Snipperclips. You do have to be careful though, because sense memory is very strong. And like everything, every time I think about Everquest,
Starting point is 00:38:35 I immediately think of the Dave Matthews band album Crash, which I listened to on a boombox after getting it for Christmas while playing Everquest. Shoo, Travis, that was... For now, the two... Hold on, can I catch my breath from that story you just told about your childhood? I need a minute to recover from what you just said.
Starting point is 00:38:49 You crashed into him. Yeah, the two are inextricably linked in my mind. Okay, cool. EverQuest and Dave Matthews. All right, cool, go on, cool life. Thanks, thanks, brother. Happy channel likes to me. Cool part of you.
Starting point is 00:39:02 I don't still do that, Griffin. No, I know, but cool part of your life. I have friends and family now that I spend time with and I've moved on. That was me at like 15. Yeah, so sad. I know, to think about. No, what?
Starting point is 00:39:14 No, at the time it was very cool. Yeah, awesome, man. Yeah, we're sufficiently bummed. You did stuff too. We've all had periods we're not proud of. Yeah, man, but I don't talk about it on our huge podcast. I guess I'm just more vulnerable and open to sharing who I am.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah, I guess so. I'm not ashamed of who I used to be. I am, I put him away, he's gone. I killed that Gryffindor. I didn't kill him, but he sure ain't gonna get talked about on this podcast, against will no way. Thanks Can't do a digital gift I wanna much squad
Starting point is 00:39:59 I want too much squad Welcome to Munch Squad, this is the a podcast where we'll find the latest and greatest in brand eating. I thought here this late into the year, we'd be talking about the holidays, the yule still. Yeah. And then look who strides into the room yesterday. Oh no. Ready to get, just like absolutely upset the apple cart.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I'm gonna open the image and I'll just like absolutely upset the apple cart. I'm gonna open the image and I'll just like, and I think that this one speaks for itself. There it is. Wait, hold on. There it is guys. Hold on. Taco Bell, Nuggets. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah, it's happening. Whoa. They've coupled nuggets with maybe the most unhinged press release I've read all year. Can I just say, just first blush, first look, what's wild to me, Justin, they look like perfectly normal, maybe even above average nuggets.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Yeah. Yeah, so let's hear about it. There's no like weird taco-fied we-rappies. Yeah, let's let him finish. Oh boy. In a world where chicken nugget loyalty runs deep, Taco Bell is daring to push the boundaries of innovation yet again with the introduction of crispy chicken nuggets.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I appreciate that. Can we just say, first of all, when you try to slip them in there, like bites or popcorned. They're nuggets. And it's a lineup of irresistible dipping sauces that's sure to challenge people's devotion to their typical favorites.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Oh my God. They're gonna lead me astray? I'm listening. They're gonna cause me to be a philanderer to my chicken nugget commitments. If you're listening, Griffin, then let me let you hear this. Entirely distinct, yet universally familiar. The tender, all white meat chicken bites
Starting point is 00:41:59 are marinated in zesty jalapeno buttermilk flavor. What? That's weird. Let's talk about that. You don't have a spicy variant. This is spicy, it sounds like. That's weird, but listen. The chicken bites are marinated
Starting point is 00:42:12 in zesty jalapeno buttermilk flavor. That shouldn't be a flavor. No. It should be jalapeno buttermilk. It shouldn't be the essence of jalapeno buttermilk. That's troubling. Those also seem like two things that would cancel one another out, right?
Starting point is 00:42:28 Like if I ate jalapenos and I had a spicy mouth and then I drank some milk, it would cool that down. Well, though what they've done, Travis, is they've also breaded with a blend of breadcrumbs and crunchy tortilla chips to deliver the ideal balance of flavor and crisp that take the everyday chicken nugget to the next level. I'm still here, man.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I haven't run for the door. I'm still here, man. But it is important to me to know if they're spicy because there is the word jalapeno in there. And if I took my kids, this feels like a weird prank to pull on my children where I bet you guys like chicken nuggets, right? Here you go.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Yeah. What's a nugget without an epic sauce pairing? I'm gonna pull on my children, where I bet you guys like chicken nuggets, right? Here you go. Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee. What's a nugget without an epic sauce pairing? In its culinary journey to find the perfect complimentary sauce, Taco Bell tested over 100 sauces to curate not one, but three irresistible dip pairings. Introducing the exclusive new Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce, a brand new signature Belle sauce, introducing the exclusive new Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce,
Starting point is 00:43:28 a brand new signature Belle Sauce, and a sweet and hot jalapeno honey mustard sauce. You're not giving me a lot of safe road to walk here talking about. I'm so interested, but you are like, now that we've hooked you, do you wanna eat poison, poison, or poison for your- The star of the trio, which I don't think they should say this, but the star of the
Starting point is 00:43:46 trio is the new Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce. A fiery twist on America's favorite ranch inspired by the passion of Taco Bell and Hidden Valley Ranch fans. More than just a sauce, it's a groundbreaking innovation that blends the iconic flavors fans love from both brands. So words just don't mean anything anymore, huh? Hot and ranch are about. But you're throwing out groundbreaking innovation
Starting point is 00:44:14 like you just cured something or figured out how to reach the moon. You ready? Taylor Montgomery is gonna lay it out for you like this. Not to be, not to be just sales for granted, but here's Taylor's read. As the inventors of nacho fries, Taco Bell is fully aware that reinventing
Starting point is 00:44:33 an American classic with a Taco Bell twist is a responsibility we don't take lightly. Wow! But in a world dominated by chicken cravings, it was time to show the world how Taco Bell does chicken nuggets. Unexpected and undeniably bold, the crispy chicken nuggets deliver a crispier, more flavorful nugget experience and combined with the hidden Valley Fire Ranch sauce, we hope it will test
Starting point is 00:45:00 people's devotion to their favorite nuggets. I am moved by the passion and dedication shown in that. Like that feels like a speech that like the president gives like climbing on top of the car to be like, the aliens are coming and you know what? It's time for Taco Bell to get into the chicken nugget game and I'm in it, I'm moved. But when McDonald's did bratwurst for a little while
Starting point is 00:45:30 and people would come in, it probably wasn't like super confusing because the name of the restaurant isn't Burger Clown or Hamburger Clown. Yeah. But when people go to Taco Bell, they're gonna be confused about this extremely not taco or even taco adjacent.
Starting point is 00:45:46 This is where I am really getting hung up now because they sell the fries and they sell the chicken nuggets and they sell the pizza. I'm worried that they're starting to lose touch with their like authentic Mexican friends. Oh no. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I mean, yeah, for sure. I think there's a danger there for sure. There is a danger of that. Can I tell you what's tripping me up? And I have just realized, because it's been a long, long time since I've been to a Taco Bell or eaten Taco Bell. Why?
Starting point is 00:46:24 Do you think that they have- Why? Just haven't, there's not one near me. Do you think that there's ketchup available at Taco Bell? Yes. How confident are you in that? Are you confident, Griffin? That there's ketchup at Taco Bell?
Starting point is 00:46:42 Let me check, do they sell french fries? They sell nacho fries. Remind me again, remind me again. Do they sell french fried taters? Nacho fries, they have nacho fries. Okay, well, then they'll have the ketchup for them. You seem very confident. Justin, you look like you're Googling this, and I need you to confirm if you're Googling this or not.
Starting point is 00:47:04 No, don't dox my address to tell me where the closest don't Don't want any talk about I'm just saying it's not that far travel. It's far enough It's like you could get there I'm just demonstrating if it was next door just if I live next to if I lived inside a Taco Bell I would go get some right now. I'm at the pizza hut. I'm at the Travis health I'm at the combination Hut. I'm at the Travis Health. I'm at the combination Taco Bell and Travis Health. I'm just trying to figure out if Taco Bell has ketchup. Can we call time out on the-
Starting point is 00:47:38 Yes, they have ketchup at Taco Bell. I see a picture of it now next to the mild sauce and the fire sauce. There's ketchup, say it with passion Griffin. There is ketchup at the Taco Bell, I see a picture of it now, next to the mild sauce and the fire sauce. There's ketchup, say it with passion, Griffin. There is ketchup at the Taco Bell. You can go to Taco Bell right now and get the nuggets. So let us know what you think. I wanna know how spicy they are, like, if you're a child.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Like, imagine a child is eating it. Right, you can text Travis that. No! Okay, here, let let's one more question. Once a year, I do a Christmas show for some local theaters. We dress up as characters and deliver a little pre-show before the movie, White Christmas. We have someone who dresses as Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Cousin Eddie.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I dress up as Yukon Cornelius, who's popular enough, but doesn't have the same depth as those other characters. I'm also not great at improv, and I also find myself letting my fellow actors carry the performance when unexpected things happen. How can I stay out of the way of the audience who's popular enough but doesn't have the same depth as those other characters. I'm also not great at improv, and I also find myself letting my fellow actors carry the performance when unexpected things happen. How can I stand out of the crowd and deliver a memorable performance
Starting point is 00:48:31 that's from Cornelius in Cincinnati? This is so good, such a good question, thank you. Thank you for this. You are, I would love to pretend to be Yukon Cornelius for an hour, I feel like improv-wise, it wouldn't be funny, but I would have the time of my life. We need to establish who this is for the people who were not. Oh, we love silver and gold from the ranking best movie
Starting point is 00:48:50 Rudolph yeah Prospector who says bubbles pouts. That's very good Justin. Here's the thing One thing you got to know about Yukon Cornelius That's a haunted man because what we don't talk about a lot is, there were 12 of them when they started out on this tractifying cult. He's the only one left. What has he been through? He falls off into a cliff with the bumble.
Starting point is 00:49:14 What happens down there? We don't know. So while everyone else is improving their scene, I want you to have just a dark backstory and have him stare off an empty eyed. It sounds like you're doing that already, which is great. I just wanna be, I hate to challenge what you're saying, but I did watch the film recently.
Starting point is 00:49:33 And we do know what Yukon Cornelius did once the Bumble and he fell off the cliff. Oh, that's right, yes. What did he do? He pulled his teeth out, Justin. He pulled his teeth out, kids. Yukon Cornelius removed the Bumble's one method of feeding himself.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Really broke his spirit too. And then, and then get this, Yukon Cornelius is like, you're never gonna believe it, but Bumbles are really easy to get along with and they wanna help us. I bet! Yeah, when you mutilate- I bet they do, Yukon.
Starting point is 00:50:01 It's a shame I didn't find that out before. I pulled all his teeth out. I still have my nails. I don't want you to I bet they do, Yukon! It's a shame I didn't find that out before I pulled all his teeth out! I still have my nails! I don't want you to pull those out too, Yukon! All of his teeth were flat like a cow's! He's a- it turns out he's a bleepie! He said, I only eat carrots! And then he said, I only eat carrot!
Starting point is 00:50:16 You can't understand him anymore! Anyways, watch him put the star on the tree! He got in my way while I was- Now mush up his food real good for him! He got in my way while I was trying Now mush up his food real good for him. He got in my way while I was trying to accumulate wealth. I'm the good guy. Wait, hold on. Yukon Cornelius removed all of Bumble's teeth?
Starting point is 00:50:33 Wait, I can't believe he would do that when he knows the only divas on the planet. Yeah. That's the other thing that's twisted about Yukon Cornelius. He knows the one person that invented the idea of pulling teeth out. And this guy doesn't even go to that one guy he knows. I wanna see the deleted scene where after all is done, Hermes like, Yukon, can I talk to you over here
Starting point is 00:50:54 for a minute? Hey man, what's that about? Like, you know I'm trying to set up a business here, trying to establish myself. You couldn't float me some business my way. You couldn't be like, hey Hermes, show him how good you are, pull your teeth out. You trying to step to my territory, man? Pull your own teeth out, Hermy.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Come on, man. You're such a great dentist. What are you doing? Do you see me out there trying to mine up silver and gold? No, I recognize that that's your thing. This is my thing. Come on, man. Show some respect.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yeah, so anyway, this is all really good stuff. Just use these jokes. It's no problem. Just between every sentence, just go, so anyway, this is all really good stuff. Just use these jokes. It's no problem. Just between every sentence, just go, Bumble! It's a point in the back of theater. Sorry, I thought I saw a bumble. Sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Oh, when it gets dark and cold out there and you gotta eat your fellow, sorry, what were you saying, cousin Eddie? I said to sleep within a bumble, Carcass, once. You thought they smelled bad on the outside. They smell wonderful on the inside. I love doing it. I do it when I don't need to.
