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.
You have failed yourself, Griffith.
Your job is to stay happy, clown.
Get out there and dance in your big shoes.
I'll dance.
This in your big shoes, clown.
I'll dance, but the dance is gonna be like when someone dances in the background
of the big bar in Twin Peaks.
Like a lot of, they'll be shuffling.
And it will be-
They're throwing that.
The performance I give will be arresting.
It will be captivating.
Hi, welcome.
Welcome to another episode of My Brother and Me.
An advice show for the modern era.
I'm your oldest brother, Justin MacRaeun. Vroom vroom, ka-chow. It's another episode of My Brother, Me. Advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy.
Vroom, vroom, ka-chow.
It's me, Trav Nation, your middle brother, Travis,
big dog, woof, woof, McElroy.
It's Wednesday, February 5th,
the morning of Wednesday, February 5th,
and I'm Griffin McElroy.
That's when we're recording this.
I feel like saying that is a good idea,
like holding up a newspaper with a sports score
is a good idea. There's two things newspaper with a sports score is a good idea.
There's two things, very important things
I wanna talk about, topical.
Topical things. Yeah, okay, good.
Is one of them that it is Wednesday,
the February the 5th,
and that show comes out on a different day?
Where we don't, we're not there on that one.
Well, whenever it was at the Grammys this past weekend,
Benson Boone performed, Benson Boone performed
his hit song, Beautiful Things.
And as he did the intro, Heidi Gloom and Nikki Glaser
tore his suit off and he was wearing a blue,
deep V-neck glamorant jumpsuit.
And as this man's singing, he runs up onto the stage
and he did a flip off the top of the piano.
Cool, what's her name? And it's gorgeous.
And apparently he does this at his live shows.
What's guy's name?
What's his name?
What's this guy's name?
Benson Boone.
Benson Boone?
And he does that.
The beautiful things that I've done.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, that guy?
Oh yeah.
That song always gets me going.
I think it's unfair that he can sing so beautifully
and do a cool flip off of a piano.
You shouldn't be able to do both things
where you get to sing way high up,
which is so fun, and be able to do a flip
off of a piano or anything.
That is unfair.
I can't do either of those.
And he can, and the only way that I can live.
How's he look?
Is he like wicked ugly?
No.
No, he looks cool.
He looks so cool.
God damn.
And the only way I can live.
It's like if Miles Teller decided to be a little softer,
a little curler.
A little cooler, a little more glam rock.
Damn.
Man, God gave with three hands on this one.
Damn, Benson Boone.
I can only exist happily by believing
that he sings that good because he has fully dedicated
100% of his energy towards that.
And then seeing that he can also do flips.
And I'm like, what else can he do?
He's probably a good baker.
And then he later apologized for aggressively
adjusting himself in that jumpsuit during the performance.
And I feel like that's unfair that he should do it.
Should he gently adjust himself?
Is that better than aggressively adjusting himself?
Travis, can I say something, man?
It's such a really good question,
because what happened is,
Bessie Boone is wearing a tight jumpsuit
that is restricting, okay?
I'm sorry, it's restrictive.
So it is that question of a fast, aggressive adjustment.
It's the best version of it, he's not belaboring it.
Because if you think about a slow, tender adjustment, that's the best version of it. He's not belaboring it. It's the best version of it,
because if you think about a slow, tender adjustment,
that's not appropriate.
With eye contact.
Yeah, right?
Like, that's not appropriate for an audience.
And that's his privacy.
That's his bathroom stuff.
And it's everyone's got him.
So calm down.
Sometimes you never have to adjust your bathroom stuff.
That's weird.
Unlikely.
You don't believe it.
The other thing I wanna talk about is this occurred to me.
When you guys were children, we Babbies,
did you believe that when you grew up to be an adult
that Groundhog's Day would take on a greater significance
as a holiday to you?
And it's like, oh, this must be a thing
that like grownups have built deeply into their psyche
and I as a child simply don't get it.
It needs a shot in the arm, doesn't it?
Yeah.
It needs something,
cause it's not, and I get there's a whole town
where they're probably wild about this fucking thing,
but for the rest of us, the shine is coming off the apple.
It just doesn't extend beyond that.
No, it's a single skeet that I see.
I saw a shadow and I'm like, okay, put him away.
And the whole holiday in my mind, that seems weird.
It needs something else.
There's no other traditions around that.
Work off, you get work off, that would be sick.
That's a big one, presents.
Some kind of feast.
That's why if you ever see Rod Stewart
turn around and do the butt shake,
what he's actually doing is like-
He's seeing his shadow to see if there's
six more weeks of winter.
That's exactly it.
He's shaking his little butt and saying like,
is that my shadow or not?
There's so much- If Rod Stewart
can see his butt shadow,
if a groundhog comes out of Rod Stewart's butt.
Think about this.
What's the best part of any holiday?
That's right, hiding Easter eggs.
Because it's the only part of any holiday where That's right, hiding Easter eggs. Because it's the only part of any holiday
where you get to go on a little adventure.
Think about the opportunities that Groundhog Day
would provide if we started to include
little adventures in it.
Because these guys, they bury themselves
in the ground like treasure already.
Ever since David the Gnome, I've dreamed of crawling
through an underground cavern and finding,
like why not provide that for me
to find the groundhog and ask him, like,
did you see your shadow?
Let's go down there once
and bring a camera crew and go down there.
There's a lot of conversations
that would be hard to have with the aliens,
but I think this one would be hardest.
Because you have to say, like, yes,
the day is called Groundhog Day, yes.
So what's the deal?
Well, we do, every every year ask a groundhog
if it's gonna be cold for a while.
Oh, the groundhog speaks?
Huh?
The groundhog speaks?
The groundhog sees its shadow.
That's, it's like a wild hog day.
On our planet, all the animals can't talk to each other.
Yeah, so it's like different.
And then they're like, so that's wild.
What's the second most notable thing about Groundhog Day?
It's like, sometimes you live it over and over again
for 10,000 years.
What?
Sorry, speak up again.
I know you learned to be a good person.
The second thing about Groundhog Day
is sometimes you live it over and over again.
It's the only other thing.
In our culture, that's the second most notable thing
about Groundhog Day is that it's especially-
And for some people, those flip-flop.
Right.
For some people, the significance is interchangeable.
So it's a holiday about living it over and over again.
No.
It gets to that point sometimes.
It does feel like that a little bit, but yeah.
It has much more cultural significance,
I would say, for a demographic of people,
that it's a day where one self reflects for 10,000 years
to think about-
A lot, I wish. Like your life and how to get better
and have a healthier relationship with Annie McDowell.
Can you even imagine?
That movie paints that to be like a terrible thing
to happen to, can you imagine 10,000 years of free time?
Holy shit, dudes.
I'm catching one.
I would flip off pianos constantly.
I would do it, it would take 8,000 straight ears
of snapping my spine.
And was it worth it?
No, it wasn't, because it looks cool,
but that was really, really torturous.
That is how long it would take.
One cool, I wish that there was a different version
of Groundhog Day where the day fell on the day
right before they released the finale of Traders.
And so the show is about him trying to like reconstruct
how he thinks he's gonna be exactly
and then film it for himself.
Like he wants to film his own finale of like TV shows.
He's writing his own endings.
So when the actual finale does come out,
he'd be like, well, actually,
I think this would be more satisfying.
I think it's a little something like this.
I think it's a little bit more.
Wouldn't mind taking a second pass
of that lost ending, right guys?
For 10,000 years.
Wow!
So he shouldn't have gotten that long to un-fide there.
This is an invite show.
Does it have to be?
Because I'm really kind of, I feel good in the vibe right now.
I feel like I'm in the pocket of the vibe.
What if the groundhog came out
and aggressively adjusted himself?
That would be cool.
Does that mean a monsoon's on the way?
Yeah, that has to have happened.
In the hundred years we've been doing this thing,
that the little guy comes out
and then grabs his bathroom stuff as animals,
most animals are want to do all the time.
When I was traveling recently,
it was very, very early in the morning.
It was like an 8 a.m. flight,
so I was going through security at like 6 a.m.
And I forgot that the boots that I was wearing
always set off the metal detector.
So I had to get scanned and I had to take the boots off.
And the TSA agent looked at me as he was like scanning me
with the wand and he said,
which side is your property on?
And my first thought was what a cute way to ask me
where my dick and balls is.
That's 100% what I assume when you said that.
Thank you.
And then I realized he was talking about
where which conveyor belt my stuff was on
to put my shoes with them.
And luckily both things were true.
So when I said the right,
that was also where my stuff was,
but it was such a key way.
I don't wanna know you,
that felt like a long walk to tell your brothers
the current state of your vaults.
It's not always there.
That's just where my property was at the moment.
Travis. A needlessly fanciful walk.
Travis. To talk about my property?
Travis. Yeah, cause now I'm thinking,
like I'm thinking about what's going on in there, Trav.
You may not want me to, but I'm thinking about what's going on.
Travis. Sometimes I split the uprights or the downrights.
Travis. That is the-
Travis. One ball on either side.
Travis. Give him the old droopy dog.
Travis. Do you know what sucks?
Here's what's actually hard.
Travis. Yeah. Travis. Can I tell you guys what actually sucks?
Yeah, please.
Is that everybody has seen all the new ads.
That's all they're thinking about right now,
is they've seen all the new ads.
Oh, they know how it all, oh fuck, we forgot the big game.
God dang it. The big game.
So the thing is, we came to talk-
Did the big game happen?
Yeah, it happened.
The big game just happened yesterday,
and we all freaked out about it.
God damn, we were spitting.
We forgot!
We forgot about that.
It couldn't have.
The big game couldn't have just happened.
Let's hope it happened.
Okay, wait.
Oh, you're saying it will have just happened.
I think it probably happened.
Okay, God bless.
Why wouldn't it happen, Travis?
Oh, Griffin, I don't know, bro.
No, it will have had happened.
It did have happened.
I can see a few scenarios where it didn't happen.
This is what I'm saying, brother!
You guys broke my brain and for a moment I believed that the Super Bowl had come and gone.
I can see something happen where the commission would be like,
Let's do it next week!
It's fucking wild out there!
Hey, hey, hey, players, players, coaches, you're not in the mood.
We're not in the mood!
We're not in the mood to make a silly podcast joke.
I can't imagine these 40 strapping men
are ready to catch balls and throw them at each other.
You guys don't wanna play football this week.
We don't wanna watch football this week.
It's cold.
We'll get them next time.
We'll get them next time.
We're gonna play it out on like a Tecmo Bowl kind of thing
and just see how it goes to broadcast that.
We're doing the Puppy Bowl. We already filmed that. it goes to broadcast that. We're doing the Puppy Bowl.
We already filmed that.
Yeah, that's easy.
We're doing the Puppy Bowl for three hours.
The puppies don't know.
The puppies don't know.
Everyone agreed to do the Puppy Bowl.
The puppies aren't on Blue Sky.
They're not, they're simply not.
Is there a big Las Vegas style thing?
Before we started I said, let's just do a normal one.
Is there a bedding?
The guys aren't into, we'll just run the Super Bowl
from two years ago
cause it was the same guys.
And no one will remember it already happened.
No one.
Hey guys, I wouldn't.
100% that would get me.
This is what I'm saying.
So this is a vice.
Can I bet on the puppy ball is what I wanna know.
Who runs, what Justin?
I have a bit of frustration
I like to talk about with Super Bowl.
Hey yeah, yeah.
Yeah, this is a safe space.
No one's listening.
It used to be, it used to be that the Super Bowl
was a real buffet for fans of branding.
Like if you're a brand fan, you love commercials,
you love to see what like Madison Avenue has cooked up.
It's Christmas Day for consumers.
Hey, is that why the show Mad Men's called Mad Men?
Because of Madison.
Okay, never knew that.
I thought it was Ad Men, but they made it mad.
It's all those things.
They are actually, also most of the men in that show,
from what little I've seen of it,
are pretty PO'd most of the time.
But now, so you gotta be a little mad to work here,
kind of thing.
It's working four ways.
Oh my God.
Now, these days though, to rise above the din,
you're seeing a lot more brands
release their Super Bowl commercial.
Oh man.
Before the big game to try to get ahead of it.
And this drives me crazy.
Yeah.
Can I have one fucking night that I look forward to,
where the real joy for me is getting to see
10 new commercials?
Like that's what I'm excited for,
getting to see if like they figure out a way
to put like Indiana Jones in one or something.
Like that's the one I'm looking forward to that for weeks.
It's the silver lining to seeing a player get hurt.
We're like, oh my God, I hope he's okay.
Oh my God.
What?
They will take a commercial break.
Sorry, no!
They will take a commercial break, though.
Sorry, what Travis is saying is not an A clause
underneath my sub point one.
No, Justin, I'm reading between the lines.
You get happy when a player gets hurt
because they'll do a commercial break.
You're in a different page, man.
And you can see.
You're in the index.
I'm bummed out by the commercial trailers that we get.
One of them is a beer and I don't know which one.
So great.
It's a trailer for a commercial?
It's a trailer for the David Beckham's God Twin Brother.
I remember that.
I don't remember the product it's advertising
because they don't say it.
So a billion dollars well spent Guin Guinness maybe, I think.
They did Harry Met Sally.
They got Billy and Meg back for it, and it's miracle whip.
That's why it's so good.
That's good, I can see that.
That would have been so good though,
if you saved that for me.
Save it for me on the Super Bowl, I need that.
When that pops up, I can't shush my family.
Right.
If it's already been online.
If it's streaming. That's rude.
That's why I've been doing an online blackout
for the last like three weeks.
This bit's not gonna have any legs.
Just so I don't miss commercials,
I have no idea what's going on.
Yeah, yeah.
So the commercials will all be a surprise.
Don't tell me.
You're in for a big surprise.
He's trying.
Oh, Juice is on board too.
They're trying, guys.
They're on one of those things on the train tracks
pumping it up and down.
They're trying to get her there.
It's been three, maybe four weeks
since I've looked online,
I have no idea what's happening.
Oh.
Okay, listen, this is an advice show.
This first question is about welding,
which I do have a piece on the top.
It's not even a question, Justin. It's feedback from a producer. I love feedback. This should be a new is an advice show. This first question is about welding, which I do have a case on. It's not even a question,
Justin, it's feedback from a previous episode.
I love feedback.
This should be a new segment on the show.
Yeah, I'm a welder by trade,
and I wanted to chime in on the question from episode 747.
Truthfully, at the end of the day,
a welder really just wants commiseration
for how big of a pain in the ass it looked to weld.
Or if that fails, just say, hell yeah, laying dimes.
Really loud, and that should cover most interactions.
That's from Kevin.
Laying dimes is good.
I like that.
I'm gonna try to say that at least once during the episode,
because that's what I like.
But if you wanna appreciate welding,
there's an actual answer for you.
I don't know why we've been helpful this week,
but there you go.
Lying dimes is cool.
It means when you create a smooth weld without ripples,
and it looks like a bunch of dimes laying on each other.
That's sick.
That's fucking cool, welding is so neat.
Yeah, man.
I've done, I did a little,
when I was doing my little Game Boy toys, I-
Little Game Boy toys? I was doing little- What did you do, toys, I was doing soldering, which is kinda like welding.
Don't you guys think, agree with that?
Mm-hmm, it's plastic welding.
There's a little metal, you know,
it comes in a little spool and you melt it.
Actually, I've done plastic welding.
It's not actually plastic welding, I guess.
No. Is it?
No, it's real metal.
I've done fusion welds.
I've seized Prometheus' fire
and used it to make metal into different shit.
So that's, I'm laying dimes over here myself.
It's welding for babies.
It's baby welding.
Baby welding.
I have an urgent and pressing question.
I am a collage artist.
You wanted to say collage, didn't you?
I heard the, I'm not even looking at the camera right now.
You did, didn't you?
I was thinking about, I was thinking he was gonna say college.
Stinker.
I'm a collage artist.
And I'm going to incorporate part of a puzzle
into a piece I'm working on.
The issue is- Ooh, your ditch is Christmas hell,
Jamie, and?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I almost got tripped up,
so I'm being very careful now.
I'm sorry.
I know that this person is working against me.
This question asker has laid many traps,
and I'm aware of all of them. I'm being very careful now. I'm sorry. I know that this person is working against me. This question asker has laid many traps
and I'm aware of all of them.
I'm unstoppable.
The issue is, what do I do with the rest of the puzzle?
It's a puzzle of Baby Yoda that I got at my fiance's
family's white elephant at Christmas two years ago.
And the part I'm using is the part that doesn't have
Baby Yoda on it, but it is a fairly large chunk of the puzzle
I obviously can't like donate the puzzle since it's incomplete
But I don't want to keep the baby Yoda parts because it was kind of sucky
Yeah, I'm here's it. I'm gonna tell this person to throw it in the trash. Okay
Let's go I'm gonna get going I'm gonna get going
I'll give baby Yoda parts because it's kind of a sucky puzzle and I only want the chunk I'm using my painting,
but it also feels wasteful to throw in the garbage. Help.
How do I best utilize the 5-6 of a puzzle without having to do the puzzle?
That's from Puzzled Puzzler in Peril P's. I also lost a piece of the puzzle that's not in the chunk.
That would be P.S.
Oh. Puzzled Puzzler in Peril, PS.
I also lost a piece from the puzzle
that's not in the chunk that I'm taking.
So there's nothing.
That elevates it, actually.
That makes it even more than I'm gonna tell you
to throw this away.
What else do you have?
I bet if you're a collage artist,
it's very difficult to throw away flat things.
Anything, you gotta always have your head on a fucking swivel
looking for flat stuff that would look cool cut up.
You ever think about how much work kidnappers must put in
to finding the right letter?
It must take hours.
Yeah.
To find letters that are that big.
Because you can't cut them all out of the same Cosmo.
You know what I mean?
You gotta mix it up.
Wait, yeah, that's a really good point.
What kind of a shitty collage artist
has a bunch of tiny pictures of parts of Baby Yoda
and throws it away?
Hello?
You never know!
Welcome, Justin, to the other side of the seesaw, buddy.
Unbelievable.
Now, maybe you could make a collage.
A puzzle's kinda like a do-it-yourself collage,
wouldn't you think about it? Wow, yeah. Yeah, man. A solvable collage. A puzzle's kinda like a do it yourself collage, wouldn't you think about it?
Wow, yeah.
Yeah, man.
A solvable collage, for sure.
Have you ever wanted to 100% a collage?
I've always wanted to get the platinum
on an art piece that I do.
When you put a puzzle together,
no one's ever like, you did it wrong.
First of all, you have the stuff to make two pieces of art.
You've doubled what you have.
One is the piece that incorporates the big chunk
that you took out of the puzzle.
That's cool.
I'm gonna sit up.
I don't know why I'm like fucking gobbled out in my chair.
The second one is the rest of the puzzle
with the piece missing.
And that's saying something,
cause it's about the Yoda that's not there. But also from that, there will be a small piece missing and that's saying something because it's about the Yoda that's not there but also
From that there will be a small piece missing when the people look at that and say like but what's the small piece mean?
All of a sudden they're trying to get to the bottom of your art story
Which is really the secret to art is tricking people into paying very close attention to it
Yeah into thinking there's meaning in it, right?
They'll see that they'll be like is this really a piece of artwork about the baby Yodas that aren't there?
But wait, what's this little piece missing?
That's the secret. I'm a fuck up.
That's the message.
The thing is, I lost it.
That's my favorite thing about art, is that when people say like,
well it means this to me, or it means this to me,
so it means different things to different people.
And that means you didn't know what it meant
when you made it, you saw it look nice.
I would be sick if Water Lilies just had a big hole in it,
and they were like, what happened?
He put his elbow down and it went through the painting.
I see that, I'm like, wow, artists are just like us.
We're all fallible.
We really are all just people.
We all make mistakes and mess ups sometimes,
and you gotta let it not bring you down.
This puzzle question is a good example
of why I am so happy I recently discovered burning things.
Oh, sure.
It's cold weather outside,
but it's been a little bit more temperate,
and it's a great time to go outside and start a fire.
Burn your puzzles.
And I hate wasting stuff, really, I do.
I hate wasting things.
I have a big problem with that, right?
If I have something, I don't wanna waste it.
But here's what I've recently discovered.
Cause a lot of the waste that I have
and been struggling with lately
does happen to be woodworking waste.
So that is something-
Some of God's most burnable stuff.
Right, so what I've decided though,
is that if you burn it, you didn't waste it,
because you got enjoyment from the fun and warmth.
So you're not wasting it.
If you, what I'm saying is,
if you burn this puzzle,
and then you watch this puzzle of Baby Yoda warm,
and you take pleasure in like this puzzle of Baby Yoda warm, and you take pleasure
in the warmth of Baby Yoda and the visual,
just watching it, it's not a waste.
Like, it was good, you did that, it was good.
I'll take a step further, Jess,
and I recently saw a physicist talking.
Don't huff it.
No, don't huff it.
Do not huff this Baby Yoda.
Don't do this indoors, but did I say that?
I should have started with- I saw a physicist talking about that
if you were to burn like a piece of paper,
you can't create or destroy energy.
So hypothetically, if you collected all the warmth
and ash and water and everything that was made by that fire,
you could put it back together.
So you're taking this sucky puzzle
and you're making it into a much more challenging puzzle.
What the fuck did you just,
what the fuck did you just-
What you just said made not a damn lick of sense, Trav.
Not a lick of sense.
Oh, but it hit through.
If you collected the-
If you grabbed all the-
If you siphoned the paper energy-
The light energy?
The paper energy?
Like what are you saying?
Yeah, man, all of that stuff still exists.
You didn't destroy any of the stuff that made the paper.
No, I know, but I transformed it.
I burned the paper and it created heat, which is a type of energy.
Before that, it didn't have-
So, high-definition, all the pieces of the paper still exist.
May I please?
May please.
Before that, it didn't have paper energy.
That's crazy.
It was a picture of Baby Yoda.
It was a part of a picture of Baby Yoda.
It was a part of a picture of Baby Yoda.
It was paper and paint.
Every picture of Baby Yoda has,
has stored energy.
What energy?
The energy that's holding the molecule of-
Is that puzzle of Baby Yoda vibrating on the table?
Griffin, when you burn Baby Yoda,
you are releasing the bonds
that hold the molecules together, creating energy.
Every picture of Baby Yoda is energy and dirt.
It's just fire and dirt switched together. What do you think Gambit does when he picks up the puzzle pieces of Baby Yoda is energy and dirt. It's just fire and dirt.
What do you think Gambit does when he picks up
the puzzle pieces of Baby Yoda
and he turns them into little bombs.
Lugloseh Avegnoi turns it into fire and dirt.
Yeah. That's his power.
Right, but what energy could the paper possibly have?
If I plug my phone in, but it doesn't.
If it did, I would be in some real trouble
cause I got some envelopes on my desk.
You're lucky that I can't remember
the opposite of kinetic energy
because that's what it is, but I can't remember it.
Potential energy, thank you, Justin.
Sorry guys, I just got a low battery notification
on my phone.
Let me plug it into my books.
Oh my God, Griffin.
It's potential energy, and you need Gambit
to turn it into kinetic energy, Travis.
I know about potential energy.
It's when you look at a rock and you're like,
I could throw that.
It would go so fucking fast.
I'm turning arm energy into throw energy into move energy.
I understand all that.
If I look at a piece of paper and say, if I burn that, it'd be hot.
That's not energy.
It's an idea.
This is the times when science lies to us.
What Travis is saying is that if you burn all the stuff from Baby Yoda and you put it
all together, it's bad.
Picture, picture, picture of Baby Yoda.
A picture of Baby Yoda.
What I'm saying is, if you burn a picture of baby Yoda, you get ashes and nothing.
And that's the truth.
You get heat.
That's the truth.
I'm not gonna short sell here, Travis here.
You do get the heat.
Heat, ashes, and yeah.
And what's heat, Griffin?
Baby Yoda, that's the picture of it.
No, heat is energy.
It's energy that comes out when it gets too hot.
Why does it get hot?
The temperature moved up too much
and the thing freaked out
and it created an incredible fire
from the energy stored within it.
Right.
Am I energy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're star stuff, baby.
I know I'm stuff.
Like I think about that all the time.
But you're also energy.
That's cool, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude, science rocks. Yeah, there's fire inside you.
You don't need to be like that to me.
This is a moment of wonder and excitement.
He's not stupid.
He's not the quarterback.
You know what I mean?
Like, we don't have to...
He's not the wood shop teacher.
We don't have to like...
You don't have to be a dick about it.
He's not a lacrosse coach.
This is a cool moment for me.
I wanna alienate, hold on,
there's gotta be something else I did alienate.
Come on, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it.
It's not a geologist.
A geologist, wow.
That was a bad pull.
Rock scientists, we were all thinking it, Juice.
I have energy.
That's gonna get me through today, Trav.
I do appreciate that.
You are.
You're just fire gnashes.
I hope when we clip this,
because sometimes they clip once,
we don't want them to clip,
but I'm not excited about people getting in the comments
to tell me the things I don't know
about middle grade science.
Does that mean, could Gambit touch Griffin
and turn him into a human bong?
I think that's what you're suggesting.
Gambit should be doing that more.
He doesn't talk about it, but like,
the other thing he could do is melt your fucking clothes
and blow you up.
Yeah, he could blow up Magneto's whole clothes.
One thing I didn't try that I could try, everybody.
One thing I could try is touch that dude.
I could blow up his pants, Monsherie.
Wait, sorry, what?
I could blow up Magneto's pants. One thing I could try, Monsherie. Wait sorry what? Those pants
I could try monsherie is touching his helmet and blow his fucking brains up wet gambit
Don't do that. I'm just saying
Why does it why is it nightcrawlers like I could teleport inside of him
Yeah, just once just be so bad for me, but like.
I don't know.
I can hold a big stick, teleport,
so I land kind of in front of him.
Magneto might be. So the stick is through him.
By the way, it's Wednesday, February 5th.
It is Wednesday, February 5th today.
So Magneto might be good right now.
I don't actually know, but if Magneto's bad,
that's an example. A sentinel.
Well, yeah, couldn't Gambit just touch a huge sentinel
and then like, okay.
What if he touches the ground?
What if he aggressively adjusts himself?
What if he aggressively adjusts himself
on the Grammy stage?
Oh no.
On music's biggest night,
Gambit makes his balls explode on stage.
We're all excited for Sabrina Carpenter,
but I just watched Gambit.
You know, Remy, blow his balls up on stage.
Really overshadows Beyonce's accomplishment,
if you ask me, when we had to watch Gambit blow up
his balls on the Grammy stage music.
And then weep.
He weeped for an hour.
Of course he weeped, like, yeah.
He probably died.
I think Gambit died on stage music.
I must have cauterized.
Let's go to the money zone.
["It's Better With You"]
This podcast, this one right here,
why it's sponsored by Squarespace.
Come on in, have a seat.
Welcome to Squarespace Presents,
my brother, my brother and me, a Squarespace endeavor.
Mm-hmm.
Whoa.
What do you guys think about this?
I'm thinking if I say Squarespace enough,
they'll have to pay us more.
That's, yeah, I mean, that is-
I love that.
We've literally never talked to our ad people,
but I do think that that is an unwritten rule
of advertising.
We were created by Squarespace.
We came out of Squarespace.
Yeah. Yeah.
We were a dream that Squarespace had.
One big egg.
It cried a single tear.
Yeah.
The tear became an egg, we all three came out of it,
six years apart. The egg's name was thought.
We leapt from the egg fully forped.
And we suckled at the teat of Squarespace.
This is cool, this is a cool ad.
Yeah.
It's a cool legend.
Yeah, and that's how we became.
I'm like willing to let my brain go to more out there places
now that I know I'm made of energy.
Like that's sick.
Did you know Squarespace is made of energy?
It is, it's made of internet energy,
and it can share that with you. You can harness it, you can grab it with both hands That's sick. Did you know Squarespace is made of energy? It is, it's made of internet energy
and it can share that with you.
You can harness it.
You can grab it with both hands
and harness the power of Squarespace.
And accept payments the easiest way possible.
Yeah, with all the different payment methods.
Because Squarespace payments
puts the energy in your hands.
That's right.

I don't want to do this ad because I don't want a bunch of people out there who chomp my flavor.
Because I got these glasses at Warby Parker.
Oh, okay.
I did get these glasses,
and I've gotten a lot of compliments on these glasses.
They are assertive.
They're statement glasses.
They are saying, yeah, I need corrective eyewear
in order to party in this world,
but I look good doing it.
But if there's a bunch of people out there walking around
with these Lisa Loewe beauties on their,
well, those are more of a cat's eye.
In the land of the blind, Griffin has glasses
and he's king and he doesn't wanna stop being king.
No, I'm not saying that, Warby Parker's great.
The app is genuinely, I have fun when I use it,
which sounds like bullshit.
It's a pleasant experience.
But when you use it, you see like all these
different style opportunities and you press a button
and then you can see what they
Look like on your face. It's magical. It's incredible. You get the five pairs of the home try-on program
So you don't buy a pair of shitty glasses?
Well, they have a ton of options Griffin just tell people not to get your specific glass
I won't even say nice try won't even say mine. Good luck treasure hunters. It's out there
It's they just got some new frames in also for the new year.
I'm not even reading, gang, I'm not reading the copy points.
I just like Warby Parker.
Let me make sure I didn't skip anything though.
No, okay, we're good.
Get started with Warby Parker's virtual try-on.

It's a shame I'm a little bit under the weather
because I feel like that one was pretty solid
and the kind we could send to like one of our companies
to advertise for it.
Or that could have been.
Sometimes we do it, we really do it.
That could have been in our highlight reel
when we win the I Heart Podcast Best Ad-Root Award.
We are never, ever, ever gonna have that award.
Not if people don't vote for us.
No, I don't even actually want people
to waste their energy on it.
What?
There's nothing you can do.
I would just love to earn Conan's respect for once.
Never happened. Never happened.
There's simply, audience, we love you,
there simply isn't enough of you
to move the needle on this one.
So save your efforts for other stuff.
Don't even try it.
Please, thank you.
What are you gonna do?
Prove us wrong? I know what you're thinking
that maybe you're gonna try anyway
and get everybody together and
embarrass Conan. Work really hard.
Deadass.
There's Conan in this. Deadass. Don't bother. But don't bother, there's no chance.
I know, I know, I know, it would be pretty cool.
And we're an underdog and sometimes people root for that.
I get it.
I'm going to the other side of the seesaw
and I know it's a futile effort.
Well.
Badaladalala.
Fucking hell, man.
Badaladalala. Huh? Badaladalala. Well, fucking hell, man.
Huh?
Break down of the system.
It's Valentine's Day.
Holy shit.
Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.
It's February 5th, but by my calculations, it's also our Valentine's Day episode?
Yeah, man.
And our Groundhog's Day episode. and our Groundhog's Day episode.
And our Groundhog's Day episode.
Isn't that something?
Fuck off, man.
And our Super Bowl, and our Grammys.
I'm actually pretty mad about this first one
because I completely missed the opportunity
to buy this Duncan capsule collection for Valentine's Day.
You know what?
I'm not even gonna give them the satisfaction.
Fuck them.
Fuck those guys. Yeah, dude, fuck, we need more energy like that. Do that more of just like, that's Day, you know what? I'm not even gonna give them the satisfaction Fuck them. Fuck those guys. Yeah dude. That's awesome juice. We need more energy like that. Do that more of just like that's right
KFC's got a new chicken pizza. You know what? Fuck those. No way. Fuck KFC
I don't mean that KFC. It's good. All they're missing. You know what? To fuck KFC all they're missing is you
Yeah, true. No, I just want- Because there's a K and a C
and fuck as well, but not a U.
No, no, it's good, it's good, it's good.
Now I just wanted to real quick mention that for the big game
BW3s is doing it again, probably.
This is one of the weirder press releases.
I don't think I've ever read a press release that's kind of equivocating
You're even after paying up on the on the deal last year B dubs once again offers America free wings if the big game
Goes to overtime now for a little context last year
There was this contest from BW three stood where not a contest but like a promotion where if the game went into overtime
which BWA3s did where, not even a contest, but like a promotion where if the game went into overtime,
everybody gets free wings.
And you know what happened?
The game did go into overtime.
So everybody in the world ate free wings there the next day.
How did they stay extant as a-
It's a miracle.
You read that right.
Football fans can rest assured that Buffalo Wild Wings
is bringing back its iconic overtime deal
for the seventh consecutive year.
When the thrilling big game went into overtime in 2024, fans across the nation were able to
celebrate with free wings. After making good on its promise last year, Buffalo Wild Wings is daring
to once again put a wage on the line. If the big game goes into OT, B-Dubs is ready to do it again.
The game goes into OT, B-Dubz is ready to do it again. Free wings.
Now, what I love there is that they talk about it
like there's a risk associated with it.
As though like, yeah man, listen,
it fucked us up real bad last year.
Oh my God, we had to lay off half of our employees.
We had to drop the WEC, which is B-W's, too.
But now, man, we just can't help ourselves.
Like, we're doing it again.
It's the only way we can get our rocks off
is by almost blowing it, big time.
And do we win anything if they don't go into overtime?
No.
You guys have to, maybe you guys would come in
and buy some wings if they don't go into overtime.
You give us free wings, then we sell back to you.
We like wings, we don't get,
we don't actually get to eat that many wings here,
which is fucked up. Especially since
we gave so many of them away.
Because we gave them away.
We like wings, but we don't get to get them.
If it doesn't go into overtime,
you have to come work one shift, unpaid.
At the wing factory, it's spicy work gang.
Everybody.
You're not as spicy. If the air is full of spices,
the ground is filled with salt.
Sauce, we have constant injuries here, please come.
So here's the quote.
Are we crazy for bringing our overtime deal back
after last year's turnout?
Maybe.
What?
After giving away 2.5 million wings last year,
we know it's a bold move to bring it back.
That's 1.25, beautiful birds.
Now think about this for a second.
Okay, wait, let me finish the quote.
For us at B-Dubz, it's all about the thrill of the game
and we're pumped to give all football and wing fans
another chance at scoring big,
no matter who they cheer for.
So here's, my question is this,
each chicken's gonna give you four wings, by my math.
So 2.5 divided by four, it's like 600,000-ish, right?
Six, two, five, 625,000 chickens.
How is Mr. Bones and his friends supposed to handle the pressure?
Imagine you're kicking guy.
Yeah.
You're going to kick it for the tie.
And if you kick it for the tie, you're killing over half million chickens to death.
So here's the stakes.
Not to be fair, kicking guy food.
Either you get your duckets or you send 625,000
fucking chickens to the cemetery!
Kicking Guy from Kansas City has some questionable opinions.
He might fucking hate you.
He might actually want very badly for this to happen.
Oh, fuck, man.
It's huge stakes.
Huge, huge stakes.
Here's what I'm gonna say.
If BW3s had the sheer power to be willing, they should
take it a step further and include a lot of side bets.
Where it's like, if the first thing is a field goal, the first
point scored is a field goal, then we will cover the
windows with sauce, right?
Have more random bets, right?
Cover the windows with sauce, right? Have more random bets, right?
Everybody gets a beer mug full of ranch
if the game is tied at halftime.
They need to go further with this.
If it's tied at halftime, our VP has to get his butt out.
Something really fun, low stakes.
Yeah, whoever our mascot is will eat a whole live chicken.
Yeah.
If Patrick Mahomes cries.
Once.
Once.
And is like on camera.
Out of sadness.
Out of sadness.
It can't be a happy cry.
It can't be I just won the Super Bowl
for the ninth time in a row.
God, what a boring fucking sport.
Are you kidding guys?
My hands are so heavy.
Too many rings.
They should make, if the quarterback has won before, he should have to wear his Super Bowl
rings during the game.
During the game.
To hamper his ability.
I've always fucking said that.
I've always said that.
Yes.
Let's see if superstar Tom Brady can get out there and take home another one if every time
he throws it,
a couple of his rings go off
and they have to go find him in the grass.
That's the future all the liberals want for you.
That's true.
That one sounds good though.
That one sounds really good though.
If you get 10 of them, can you cash them in for a bracelet?
You should be able to get one big, like a girdle.
Something big.
A belt, I mean mean at that point.
Yeah cool.
I'm gonna complain about this one real quick.
Hungry Howies, this is a press release
on qsrmagazine.com the number one spot.
Hungry Howies launched a secret menu for big game.
For big boys.
Hungry Howies is kicking off national pizza day
and the big game with a new addition to its secret menu
the hangry Howie pizza.
Perfect for game day gatherings and pizza parties, the Hangry Howie Pizza.
Perfect for gameday gatherings and pizza parties, the Hangry Howie is packed with both flavors
and toppings designed to tackle even the fiercest hunger and cravings.
Starting February 9th, fans can order the Hangry Howie exclusively through the secret
menu for delivery and carryout.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK A SECRET MENU IS?
CAUSE I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.
IT'S NOT A THING YOU WRITE PRESS RELEASES ABOUT. No. No. That's not a secret menu is? Cause I'll give you a hint. It's not a thing you write press releases about.
No.
All it is is- That's not a secret menu!
We didn't print off new like, you know,
plastic whatever signs to go in the lighted things
that you see behind the counter that tell you what it is.
This is a good point, especially when McDonald's
used to really iterate fast and hot
and would just toss shit on the menu.
They did effectively have a secret menu
insofar as every time I went to McDonald's
and was like, yeah, let me get that bratwurst.
Let me get that bratwurst that hits so good.
Most of the time they're like, what are you fucking talking,
you can't order a hot dog in here, are you out of your mind?
So you do have them back there, I promise.
At Hungry Howies, we know that National Pizza Day
and the big game are sacred occasions for pizza fans,
says Jeff Rinkke. What?
Sacred?
Sacred, Travis, sacred.
Much like language is sacred to those of us that care.
I thought you were saying secret menu,
but you've been saying sacred menu this whole time.
Yes, that's right.
Yes, that's right.
Right, pass down on tablets.
As part of our sacred menu,
it highlights our commitment to the sanctity of marriage.
No, that's not what it says.
It says, as far as, As part of our sacred menu, it highlights our commitment to the sanctity of marriage. That's what it says.
It says, as far as,
Hungry Howey's Spaghetti is a thousand square foot
hamburger shop in Taylor, Michigan.
And now, here it is.
We ran out of bugs.
Making a mockery of the word secret.
My partner and I received a fancy
MILF frother for Christmas.
I'm, man, I said milf.
I know.
No one said anything though, did you catch that?
How me and Travis are growing?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
I'm very excited about it
and I've been making frothy milk drinks at home.
When we have friends over, I make frothy milk,
I offer to make frothy milk drinks for them,
but they often turn it down.
I worry this is because they're worried
it'll be too much work for me.
I wanna share froth with the world.
How can I encourage my guests to accept a frothy drink?
And what should I try frothing next?
That's from frothing in the big city.
Man, it's been a while since we've had a full blown
mad person up in here.
It's been a while since we've had a real wild one like this.
I would like to try to help this person.
Please.
Because I feel like I have often been the person
in their situation, right?
Sure.
I'm excited about something like that.
I think is very fun and decadent
that maybe others aren't as necessarily charmed by.
And like recently, what a lot of people in my life,
sort of like friends and family have around me
have started to communicate is that they do not like this.
Oh.
They say, they, right.
So this is an unenjoyable way for me to be behaving.
Right, sure.
Friends who I try to like, who are maybe like,
to use this example, I'll make a frothy milk drink
and just shove it in their hands, stuff like that.
They've expressed to me, sort of everybody I know is like,
that's not something that they enjoy
or indeed will continue to tolerate.
Right.
Yeah.
So you're working on making new friends or?
I don't think you came to me for me to say stop it,
but I have learned recently from a lot of people around me
that the answer might be stop.
That's cool.
It's like the welder.
Just like cut it out.
It's like the welder thing.
You have experience with this specific thing,
so you can give evidence of the best course of action.
A younger me might've had some different advice,
but this new me is at his eyes open quite a bit.
And yeah. See, this is fun
because in many ways I am a younger Justin
and I was going to say a different thing.
Yeah, let's hear your thing, Trev.
My thing was about- And I'll like judge
as like sort of through and through
because I don't give a fuck.
So I'll judge for both of you guys.
Here in the Midwest,
we have kind of a secret menu
of conversation.
Yeah.
Where like you offer once and then they say no
because they think it would be an inconvenience.
And then you offer again.
Yeah.
And then they say yes.
That's when it's clear you need it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's really no trouble.
Oh, okay.
If someone- That's three times.
If I was a guest in someone's house
and they said, do you want a frothy milk drink?
First of all, my answer would be, of course no.
I don't want to drink any milk drink,
but especially one that you thickened,
one that you sort of carbonated a little bit.
That's going to be a no for me dog.
If they offered it to me a second time,
I would leave, that is, that person has a,
has a bad relationship with the thing that they're trying to give you. And I want to, that is, that person has a bad relationship
with the thing that they're trying to give you.
And I wanna be out of, I wanna get out of that.
I already did say no, I have to get out of this house.
One time for Christmas, I think Teresa got
like one of those like whipped cream canister things
where you put like the CO2 cards in it.
And like we were so excited, like we had people over
and like had made like pie and like hot chocolate andy. And we were so excited, we had people over
and it made pie and hot chocolate and stuff.
And we're like, can we have this thing?
And I believe it was only used by Teresa and myself.
And it was like an audition for the whipped cream canister
to become a permanent fixture in our lives.
And it failed the audition.
And I was like, well, in the cabinet you go, goodbye forever.
My favorite game is watching Top Chef
when someone pulls one of those out
and being at home like a wise asshole,
just like, that's gonna fucking explode.
And it does every, it never works,
it explodes every time.
Doesn't work.
It's a pain in the ass and then at the end of the day,
no one is trying to solve the problem of like,
I'm really not getting enough whipped cream
Yeah, like you're not making I need to get better higher volume whipped cream day to day in my life
Have you noticed that when someone uses though even like just a can of whipped cream?
there is a second of such terror as you push on the nozzle of like
What what pressure is about to spray out of here and just fling hot chocolate everywhere?
Or like, it's never like a gentle buildup.
It's like, right the first time.
And it like, everybody gets nervous for a second.
I think, I think you can't, you simply can't offer it
a second time, I'll leave the house.
I'm your guest now in this instance.
That's wild, you don't ask a second time.
You need to work on your first sales pitch.
You can only really get this question out the door one time.
I'm kind of a tea guy now, that's like my new thing.
I get nice teas and I have fancy pot for making it
and I like it, I drink it every night.
Love a tea.
And so when someone comes over and I wanna give them tea,
I'll be like, do you want some tea?
I got the really good shit.
Or like I'll say something to let them know,
like it's gonna be good tea.
So what could you say sort of about frothed milk?
One thing is like, I'm doing one already.
Like I'm already frothing.
You could be mid frothed like,
whoa, this is looking pretty good.
Do you want one?
Like that.
Here, take this one.
Do you say, don't make me be the only one frothing
over here?
Yeah.
Pure pressure. I'm frothing at the mouth.
Also, you could just go ahead and have a barista,
like, outfit on and, like, have a counter set up
with, like, a register and write their name on a cup
and be like, what'd you want?
Yeah.
One thing I've tried is if they say no the first time,
kind of being pouty and petulant for an hour.
Ooh, I like that.
Show me how that works, Justin.
Well, here's what you do.
You do that, and then every 20 minutes or so,
your wife will ask if anything's wrong.
You say, no, no, no, seriously, nothing, it's fine.
Awesome, yeah.
Yeah, and then eventually you snap out of it,
I don't know, somebody else catches it.
And you kind of spin the frother sadly in the air,
just like, hmm, lonely.
Someone quietly knocks on your bedroom door and says,
actually, you know what, I'm actually kind of
just for some frothing, if that still is on the table.
It's way too late, it's way too late at that point.
It's too late, no, but I threw that thing away, no.
Yeah, that was stupid.
That was stupid, I didn't even actually have one.
Based on what you said earlier,
Juice, I didn't know that this was an option
to do what I'm about to do,
but I don't like when you do that.
Yeah!
I don't like when you do that.
I know!
I do, it makes me feel superior to you.
I don't say that enough to hope that you change.
But the reason that I know that I have this insight
is that I have started to become,
in this year of our Lord 2025,
my way that I'm being faster than fear,
and I'm kind of, I know we're getting ahead of things
a little bit with the finale, but it's like,
I'm just telling people what's happening up there now.
I'm just telling people exactly what's happening.
You're sharing thoughts and feelings with people?
Not sharing.
Travis, you're doing the energy thing.
Don't do the energy thing.
No, that was an honest, see, that was a simple grill.
Yeah.
No, what I'm saying is that I'm just telling people that,
like for example, in this milk frother,
if I were in this situation, I would say,
hey, can I frother you a milk drink?
It's really all I think about anymore.
And if I don't make someone a milk frothering drink,
I'm gonna actually think about it all day.
And you will say, what that frees people in your life
to say is, yeah, I will take one for future reference.
I don't like this, right?
And that frees me from ever having to think about it again
because they have said, I don't want it.
And I'll say, okay, sounds good.
But they didn't know to tell me to cut it out
unless I told them how weird I was being.
This is something I started doing with my wife
because there are many TV shows and books and things
that I enjoy that she does not.
And I desperately need to talk about them with someone.
And I will say, hey, I know you don't care about this thing.
I just need to like say my feelings about it out loud
for like two minutes.
And then I won't bother you about it again.
And she's like, okay, go.
And she'll listen and go, oh, cool, whoa, that sounds nice.
And then we're passive.
So you're saying next time I offer someone tea,
I should walk in and be like,
hey, I say I'm kind of a tea guy now,
but I feel like such a fucking phony about it.
Yes, okay, good.
Griffin, you're so close, keep going.
Okay, hey, I say that I'm kind of a tea guy now
because I buy it, but I buy a lot of shit.
And I feel like a total phony.
I think the tea is really good,
but if I don't get someone to mirror me a little bit
and tell me if my judgment about the tea is accurate or not,
I'm gonna feel like this for as long as I drink tea,
which may be a minute and maybe the rest of my life.
I don't know.
Will you help me, help me drink this tea
and tell me if I'm full of shit or not?
And if you say I am, cool man, next hobby.
I'll get back into candy making or some shit.
Yeah, authenticate me.
I mean, whatever the thing is,
it doesn't have to be a hobby,
it could be like literally anything.
You just say how you're feeling.
I know, I know, yeah.
But like honestly saying it, right?
Like not in a way where you think people
are gonna be scared, because a lot of other people
are thinking pretty wild stuff too, you'll find.
Once people just start saying it all the time,
it's pretty liberating.
That's the energy, huh?
That's the energy.
I finally figured out that's all the energy.
Hey, here's what's going on.
And I'm honest with myself a lot more in that sense too,
because hey, it's been this way upstairs the whole time.
I have no reason to think.
They didn't breathe.
I might as well start, listen, listen,
if the landscape ain't gonna change,
I better start printing maps.
Yeah.
Cause it seems like things are gonna be this way
for a while. That's beautiful.
I love that, Justin.
They might add new guys to the Inside Out movie,
but the old ones are still there
Hey, where's the hyper fixation guy by the way?
I want to see that guy in my brain in my inside out brain that guy's just like man 3d printing though
Like it's all we've ever loved right. It's all we've ever talked about
Yeah, we can go broke on filament right right we all love this
Do the Inside Out guys have littler Inside Out guys inside their heads?
Yes.
I didn't see Inside Out too.
It's the Cars universe.
Wait.
Yeah, the Cars are inside the Inside Out guys.
Cars is happening inside one of the Inside Out guys.
And it's telling them how to feel?
Yep.
What to think?
It's Miles Teller,
telling them how to feel.
Got him stuck in your craw, huh?
What a weird one.
Inside the car, Scott.
Miles a lot, miles and miles today.
Inside of Lightning McQueen is Wally telling him how to feel.
And inside of Wally is Joseph Gordon-Levitt
trying to get him out of there,
trying to give him the kick to get him back up
to the surface.
That's awesome.
And the surface is the little girl in Inside Out.
Correct.
Okay, cool.
Yes. Hey, thanks for listening to Correct. Okay, cool. Yes.

It's a fantastic one with a steady beat
that you can really bop to.
Now, Justin, we had a listener submitted faster than fear.
Would you read it this thing?
Yes, I would be happy to.
Should we make some like vroom vroom noises or like
drum beat? I'll be honest,
doing noises last year really got played out for me real fast.
Okay, yeah, the Joss you just read it, baby.
Let's play with silence.
Whoa, Griffin, say that again.
Let's play with silence.
Did you like that?
I think there's something there.
I say shit like that all the time, man.
I gotta start wearing one of those little recorders.
Yeah, I love that.
Hey listen, in this, the year of our Lord 20th Thunder Drive,
I am releasing my fear of birds.
Just because a parrot cussed me out at a pet store
when I was seven doesn't mean all birds hate me.
It just means that local hooligans
taught the parrot how to cuss.
That's a good fear to have.
I actually wish you did still.
Some birds are. That you're afraid
that all birds hate you and wanna cuss you out. Some of them are out to get you. A little bit of that. Some, just a little bit. A little bit of that's good. But not have I actually wish you did still. Some birds are. That you're afraid that all birds hate you
and wanna cuss you out.
Some of them are out to give you some,
just a little bit.
A little bit of that's good.
But not have to cuss you out.
It's the salt that makes the chocolate taste sweeter.
Birds have to have their own cuss words
that we don't know about.
I'm Travis McClory.
I'm Griffin McClory.
Just a little bit, right?
That's square on the lips.
Look out.
Look out. Right, cuz your dad's a square on the left. Buh-bye. Buh-bye. Because it's true It's better, it's better with two by one
Ah, it's better with you
