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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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-
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
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.
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
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
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-
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?
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,
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,
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,
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.
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
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?
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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-
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.

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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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-
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,
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.
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,

That's what I did.
We're talking about in-network appointments

eye care to skincare, gonad stuff.
Do you know what Henry calls?
Get no-nad stuff.
I have to share this, guys.
Do you know what Henry refers to? have to share this guys, do you know what Henry refers to?
And he knows it's not right.
Like he knows it's not a good thing to call your privacy
something other than like the technical terms
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,
which I appreciate as a fellow content creator.
Anyway, so much more.

You know what's coming up folks?
A new year.
Hmm.
And it could be time for a new look.
Maybe change your look up with Stitch Fix.
Sometimes, man, there's been stuff
that Stitch Fix has sent me
that if I were just in a store shopping for myself,
I don't even know if it would have caught my eye
because I would only be thinking about
the stuff I normally wear.
And then I get that and I'm like, huh.
And I put it on and I'm like, yes,
I would wear this every day if I could.
Absolutely.
I'm H2T in Stitch Fix pickups from my last box today.
And it is- Amazing.
I like that sweater. I was gonna tell you.
Oh, thank you.
It's from a brand I had bought clothes from before,
not through Stitch Fix, and Stitch Fix was like,
has me so dialed in that they were like,
we know exactly what you like, and they were right.
And that's because you work with a stylist,
a personal stylist who's going to like,
take the things that you say you like to wear,
your budget, your size, your style,
all those things into consideration.
Pick out stuff just for you, no subscription required.
Send it to you and then you can pick and choose
which of those pieces you wanna keep
and only pay for the stuff you keep
or keep the whole box if it all works for you.
But you send back the rest, you only pay for what you keep.
It's an amazing service that we have all been using
for years and years now.
Go sign up with Stitch Fix, try something new,
make style easy, get started today at stitchfix.com slash

A right down the middle, normal candle lights advertisement.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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-
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm setting up an Airbnb inside a Bumble.
One of the pieces for Bumble.
