If you change your mind
On the first in line
On the arms feel free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let it be now
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have gone
On the arms feel free
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
But it feels better
To put to bed
Let's rock.
Can I be a questloaf in this scenario?
Yeah, I think so.
Travis, who do you want to be?
I don't listen to country music.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
This is my brother and my brother and me.
It's an advice show for the modern era.
It is not a live Jay-Z concert, live from Times Square.
I can understand why you might be confused.
It possesses the same power and excitement
and blue language, though.
And we have the ability to sell out the garden in a day.
We're like a young Marvin in his head.
You know, don't worry about it.
So this is not a Jay-Z concert.
It's my brother and my brother and me.
If I show it for the modern era, we take your queries
and now can we turn them into wisdom?
Griffin, why don't you hit us with a question
that we can advise someone on?
Sure.
We have to be a liar.
An anonymous user on Formspring asks,
are you with my current girlfriend for around three months
and feel more attracted to other women than to her?
What would you advise I do?
Wow.
Do you need help with this one?
Wow.
How out of touch with your feelings are you?
Three months ago.
I haven't seen my girlfriend in three weeks.
Are we still together?
I think what you need to do is definitely stay in that relationship
for the next 10 to 20 years, maybe a year.
Have a couple of kids with her.
Number one.
Number one, get her pregnant because I think that's going
to really clear up a lot of the problems that you guys have
in your relationship.
You know what?
I always think someone's sexier.
Responsibility.
The three-month hump is when things really start to get long
in the tooth.
I think after three months, I don't think any relationship
can really remain fresh.
Things start to go stale right around 10 weeks.
You have to realize that that's an aspect that every
relationship has to deal with.
You can't beat yourself up is what Griffin's saying.
When you stop being attracted to somebody, fight through it.
Yeah.
Get her pregnant and eventually you're going to find
you have begrudging respect.
Yeah.
Nothing is more attractive than begrudging respect.
That's true.
That's what Dad always said.
That's sexy.
That's how Russell Crowe got so far is that he's
begrudgingly respectful of the women he meets and it's
hypersexual.
And it's also important that you cheat on her as much as
possible.
Just seven, eight times a day as much as you can physically
stand because that's good for her.
It's not about you.
She wants you to be happy and that'll make her happy.
Yeah.
If you love them, cheat on them.
And then if they come back to you, it's meant to be.
That's like the old saying goes.
By the way, this is one of those times where we're giving
really bad fake advice.
Yeah.
Getting to follow it.
Yeah.
Let's give real advice.
Get out.
Yeah.
That's why we went with the fake advice first because the
real advice is boring.
Get out.
Run.
Take the money and run.
Take the money and run.
But whatever you do, do not tell her what you just told us.
Yeah.
Don't end it like that.
Listen.
Honey, it's not me.
It's you.
You are not as attractive to me as other women are.
Yeah.
This is for your own good.
Yeah.
I guess in that it is.
Yeah.
Don't blame yourself.
Blame every other woman for being more attractive than you
are.
Unless.
For being sexy.
Unless.
Unless.
The other women he's talking about are like Uma Thurman.
Like, well, yeah, dude.
Well, yeah, dude.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
Yeah.
Hey, maybe you should take inventory real quick.
Like go look in the mirror.
Is your grill whack?
Are your pecs whaling?
Like are you going to be able to get these girls that you're more
attracted to?
Like you need to really make sure you're in a mental state where
you're like, that may be irrelevant.
Like that may not have any relation to what your, what your
situation is.
You may find other women attractive, but that doesn't mean
like, like you really, some girls get paid to do that, right?
To look attractive.
Like professionally.
This six and a half that you're with.
Might be the best you can do.
Yeah.
Unless you go whaling those pecs some more.
Blast your core whale on your pecs.
Get some peck juice.
Confuse those muscles.
And then you'll be ready to go.
So I guess what we're saying is look at your life and then
settle.
There we go.
Settle.
I think I need all of our advice boils down to that, that one
central thesis.
Just settle.
Recently I was in a situation.
This is from Ramsey via Gmail.
Recently I was in a situation where I was provoked at a large
public sporting event.
There was some unkind words exchange and I was asked to stand
up and fight.
I was certainly up for it after how annoying the guy was
towards me.
But given I was outnumbered surrounded by 50 police officers
as well as being with a new peace loving friend.
I decided to just grip my teeth and move away.
Yes, that's always the right answer.
I'm about to turn 19.
I've noticed that as I get older, I'm putting more of these
types of situations, even when keeping to myself.
So I ask you, should I man up and attempt to take out the
next shmoe that goes off of me or should I continue to back off?
Well Ramsey, us Macroysers are lovers, not fighters.
We weren't really caught into violence.
Don't caught into it.
Yeah, I've only been in one fight in my life and it was when
someone cut in the four square line.
I've told this story before and I spoke up and I got slapped
in my face.
It was such a powerful slap that I fell down to the ground.
Ramsey, my advice is balance out your new peace loving friend
with a really shit balls crazy friend.
Yeah.
And that way you won't have to do anything.
You can just sit there and look and be like, Frank,
I don't know about this guy.
And then there, Frank goes, set off like a match.
Killing that dude.
Yeah, Frank, this guy was looking at us weird.
Yeah, you know what?
I don't really think usually.
I think fighting is okay to defend like somebody you care about.
But other than that, like, oh, who cares?
You're only 19, so let me give you some guidance from somebody
who's 29, who's got a decade on you.
If you try to fight everybody who's an idiot, you are going
to be exhausted because most people are stupid and deserve
to have their faces punched in.
You just can't.
You don't have enough punches in you for all the people that
need to be literally fucking punched in the nose.
Like hard until it breaks and the bone goes up in their brain
and kills them instantly.
Yeah.
A lot of people need that treatment.
You have to take solace in the fact that most of those people
are going to do the punching to themselves.
Because when you get two egos in the same room like that
and they're both drunk and violent wrecks,
then they're going to mess each other up.
They're going to take care of that problem themselves.
It's a self-solving problem.
That's why I love watching Jersey Shore.
Right.
The problem is the solution.
Never ever underestimate the power of being able to feel superior
to that person.
Yeah.
Right.
Because they want to hit you and you decide not to hit them.
You just won.
You won the fight without ever throwing a blow, my friend.
Sure.
I like to do a little sexy harem girl dance.
Yeah.
Because think about that.
Either you're going to diffuse the situation because he's going
to get a chuckle and everybody will walk away friends.
That's the ideal.
Or, ultimately, he's going to slap you.
And then he'll be that guy that hit the dancing guy.
Like, who wants to be friends with the guy that hit that guy
who was just dancing?
All he was doing was dancing.
Expressing his love through motion.
Also, don't go to sporting events.
That might help.
Yeah.
Can I tell you why I've never gotten in a fight for real?
And you should really take note of this, Ramsey,
because you're only 19.
I was always afraid, like, the first fight I get into,
like, it's going to get into fisty cuffs.
And then someone's going to, like, punch me in my eye
or, like, in my good eye and just pop it right out.
And then I won't have an eye anymore.
Or, like, they'll punch me in my sweet, straight teeth
and jack up my whole grill.
And that'll be the end of it.
And that'll be a thing I have to deal with for the rest of my life.
Like, they'll punch me and then I'll have an Owen Wilson nose
for the rest of my life, because it is one altercation.
Do you know why I've never gotten in a fight?
I was taking a stage combat class,
and the professor grabbed my wrist and held my fist up in the air
and announced very loudly,
does everyone see this?
Travis McRoy has fists of iron.
If he were to ever accidentally hit someone, he would kill them.
So I've lived in fear that the first time I punch someone,
you'll lock their eye out.
I will just straight up kill them.
Well, Travis, you've been in more fights than all of us,
because I remember one time in middle school there was an altercation
where you beat the shit out of somebody with a trombone case.
That is correct.
Knocked him right on his ass.
Good times, good times.
Griffin's been claimed to fade, but just Griffin,
stay away from people who are slap happy.
Like, they look like I'm going to slap somebody.
You've got to get away from them.
Who is that gentleman with the giant hands?
I don't know, but I'm not going anywhere near him.
What's up with Everlong over there?
What's up with that?
Are you especially top heavy?
And I've never done this.
Four Spring asks,
I need relationship advice on how to be more romantic.
My wife states that I am not romantic,
and I need ideas for how to do so.
McRoy's, I need your help.
You've come to the right place.
Have you.
Take her to a nice monster truck rally.
Spot lady is the secret.
That's my advice.
Stab a drifter.
Are you talking about sexy,
sexy romantic,
or like romantic romantic,
like I made dinner for you romantic.
Making dinner is a classic.
Clean the house.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Do the dishes.
I think that romance is not doing
what somebody asks you to do,
but doing what they want you to do.
Because that, I think it's sort of the heart of romance,
because that you,
it makes the woman or man
feel like you know them really well.
And that's the feeling that they want.
Like you know them
and still care enough to put the extra effort in.
So do something that you think she wants you to do,
but wouldn't ask you to do.
If that's the butt, that's the butt.
It's completely up to you.
Why don't you see if you can get James Taylor
to write a song about her?
There you go.
We know James Taylor.
Do a little harem girl dance.
No, don't do that.
Unless she's trying to fight with you.
Yeah, and it's like, whoa, what's up with this dancing guy?
Kevin, you can make her hash browns.
He doesn't like those.
She may not, it might not be romantic,
but she'll be full.
You know what, and just every so often,
buy her some flowers.
Don't make it a big deal, don't be like, look what I did.
Just come back from work,
hand over the flowers, say I love you,
before you settle down to play video games
for several hours.
I don't care.
It's mainly about putting effort in.
That's what I would say.
So if you put the effort in,
it doesn't really matter what you do.
I mean, try to do the right thing,
but it doesn't really matter.
And you might get some A for effort.
Ooh.
Yeah.
The answer is user LaLa asks,
how do you get airbrushed,
poreless skin naturally?
Is it possible?
Is what mannequin's at.
You need them pores, LaLa.
Yeah, you definitely, definitely need the pores.
I disagree.
What you need to do is be beautiful.
Sure, but
your skin is a porous membrane
through which things need to move
or else you'll die, right?
No, that is so two thousand and late.
In this day and age, what you need to do is get
some surgery to have every pore
individually removed.
Have you seen Chad? He's got that non-porous surface.
They took a skin graft off the back of his thighs
and just
just filled in his holes.
He sweats from his mouth, though.
He sweats from his mouth like a dog, which is...
Chad, are you drooling?
No, don't be gauche.
I don't have pores.
Um, part of me said,
perhaps you didn't notice my smooth,
mannequin-like skin.
Excuse me, I see a water cup here.
I don't see a sweat cup
for the sweat pouring out of my mouth.
It's quite warm in your establishment
and I need a receptacle
for my mouth sweat.
Where is your trough? Where do you keep your trough?
Because I'm about to hit the tread.
Pardon me, where's the spittoon?
Where's your novelty western spittoon?
Excuse me, the tone
when I spit into your spittoon with my mouth sweat
was A, and I prefer a nice B flat.
Could you have your spittoon, tuner?
I'm beautiful, dammit.
I'm beautiful, I deserve this.
Have you guys heard about how fast Chad can swim?
I guess he's just
so aerodynamic.
He just gets in the water and just
That's what was going on with Michael Phelps.
He's trying to get high enough to convince himself
to get his pores removed.
Oh, lala.
Go ahead and get those pores filled in
because it sounds like something that would kill you.
Yeah.
Coat your face in Play-Doh,
then when people ask if they can see your pores
and if they can't, then the day is yours.
My question is, this is from
Jared via Google Voice.
I always forget to zip my fly
and halfway through my day, I realized this.
I was basically wondering what's the easiest
way to zip it without anyone noticing.
Oh, that's a good one.
Usually I like to pretend to read something
on a wall. There's always things on walls.
Just go read. I sound like Andy Rooney
for a second. People are always putting
things on walls.
Have you noticed that?
Have you noticed that? Why can't our walls
just be wall-like?
Go pretend to read something on a wall.
I think that's pretty smooth.
I pretend to masturbate.
Stand in the corner
and pretend to masturbate.
But face the corner.
Don't face outwards.
And every so often, turn your head and look over
your shoulder and make eye contact with someone.
This one's for you, Dave.
Zip it up and announce loudly.
Andy shows over.
You're gonna work out pretty good.
X, Y, Z. Check it.
Check it.
Curtain's going up.
In the back one.
In the back one.
It's in the back seat of my Dotson act, too.
Check it out.
The 11 o'clock show is totally different
from The Seven Ladies.
You know what I mean? I think you do.
I do about a clingy friend
who likes my company
way more than I do hers.
She's proclaimed us besties
without any encouragement from me.
And she comments on every tweet
despite not getting most of them.
I don't get why this is funny.
Silly me, LOLs.
She's just terrible.
My question is, first of all,
no one needs to comment on tweets.
Like, I get it.
Don't do that.
I tweet you specifically sometimes.
I'm not going to tell you your tweets are funny.
Just last week,
I tweeted you about
that Ferris Bueller
being similar to Fight Club
and you didn't even respond.
No, I'm a terrible brother because I read that
and it's the funniest thing I've ever read.
And, honestly, it made me think.
It made you grow.
We're not helping them.
We're helping each other.
This is...
Gosh.
The hard thing about this
is that you're not going to suddenly
start liking this person more.
Sure.
Also, she probably
wants
to be more than besties.
Whoa, you think it's the apocalypse
rare in its head.
Oh, is it a lady?
Is the lady asking this question?
I assume so.
See, you don't know.
I think that
the tough spot about this
is that I think relationships like this
are much easier. This sounds like somebody who's
maybe in high school or college.
These relationships are much easier to navigate
when you're an adult.
Because you just don't see them.
It's irrelevant. It doesn't matter
if they're your besties or not.
I think for the moment,
though, all you can do is just sort of
you know,
there's no easy way to back off of it.
You don't have to cut the cord.
Unfortunately, it sounds like you're actually
kind of like this person.
You describe her as a friend.
So it's not like this person,
I hate things who are friends.
So that makes it tricky because if you hate them,
you can just straight up be like, hey, I hate you.
The best thing you can hope for
is that it's like buying a pair of uncomfortable shoes
and eventually it'll get broken in
and be a little bit more comfortable
but you're never going to love them.
By that point, the shoes are going to be old
and so you just throw them away.
Yeah, old shoes.
Honestly, you should really think to yourself
how much is this impacting your life.
If they're commenting on your Twitter,
whatever,
sometimes it's worth it to have somebody
who's in your corner that hard,
even if sometimes they get on your nerves.
Chances are she doesn't have a lot of friends.
Just play it cool.
Play it cool but set boundaries
and let her know that you can't spend
every waking moment with her.
Dear M-B-M-B-A-N.
Okay.
Did we have a...
Nani, our grandmother.
Dear my brother, my brother and Nani,
what's the best way to tell my girlfriend
that she should shave her armpits more often?
I'm afraid to hurt her feelings
but her stubbles kind of gross me out.
Her stubbles?
Her stubbles.
I've named each one.
Her stubbles.
Why are you so into her stubble?
Can I tell you something?
I've been married for,
I don't know, some years.
Here's not a good way.
There's no best way.
There's only the worst way,
which is to do it at all.
I just came up with the best way.
Oh, God.
I know what you're going to say.
Go ahead and shave your own armpits.
Super clean.
Feel how smooth that is, isn't that nice?
Isn't that a nice feeling on your hands?
I love that.
Have you considered shaving her armpits
while she's sleeping?
I was thinking about that.
Or along those same lines,
maybe when you're taking a shower together,
say it would be such a turn on
if you would let me shave your underarms
and then do it every morning.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
And say things like I read about this on the internet.
I heard about this in Cosmo.
The scrape
of the razor
against your poreless armpits.
The only way
you can navigate this well
from Spring
is to not make it seem as though
it's all about your phrasing.
It can't be that her stubble grosses you out.
It has to be that smooth underarms
turn you on.
Yeah.
Be a decision she makes for you.
Yes, next time she shaves underneath her arms,
say, oh my god, it's so hot,
so sexy to me
when your underarms are shaved.
Now, be careful.
Because if you push it too hard,
she's going to start thinking you're some kind of armpit weirdo.
Say, okay, you've got to say first then,
honey, I'm not an armpit weirdo.
I'm not one of those pitties
you read about on the internet.
Yeah, if she does shave her armpits,
don't
just go up there and say, let me see them,
and then say
and then say, closer.
Shave closer next time
against the gray.
Well, Gryffin is saying, definitely, definitely don't do that.
Don't look at armpits and say, I want to be in there.
Yeah.
Hey, looking good. I'd like to be in there.
I'd like to be
in your under your arms.
I'd like to be underneath there.
Can I live in there?
I'd like to be in there. Just let me
hang out
in there.
And then wear her armpit like a hat.
All day.
Okay. Honey, I'm ready to go to sleep now.
Can you stop wearing my underarm as a hat?
Should I get my, this is from Anna.
Anna says, should I get my
knuckles tattooed?
I really want to do it, but my mom hates the idea
and thinks people will view me poorly for the rest of my life if I do.
Well, I told my husband
I was thinking about not doing it,
and he started making chicken noises.
My tattoo artist friend
drew it on for me in Sharpie
so I could see how it would look
and live with it for a day. I loved it.
I don't want to hurt my mom's feelings, but you only live once, right?
Anna. Well, that depends, Anna.
This, she attached a picture
of it drawn
on to her knuckles, and it said
Earl Grey.
Ooh.
Which is the best thing I've ever seen.
That's kind of fresh. That is pretty fresh.
And she is a burlesque knife thrower.
Yeah, Anna, that's fresh.
I'm sorry.
Here's the best rationale
that I've ever heard about tattoos.
It really, it puts it all in perspective.
I saw, it's actually when I went
to get my first tattoo, I saw an article that somebody had written
on that particular
tattoo parlor in the local paper.
And the tattoo artist said,
people always tell me, would you
want that on your
hand when you're an old man?
And I always say, if I'm an old man
and my biggest concern
is whether or not I have a tattoo,
I've lived a pretty good life.
It's like, yeah, okay,
that makes a lot of sense.
Um, I mean, and if you're
a burlesque dancer,
I think a burlesque knife thrower.
Burlesque knife thrower.
I imagine there's some dancing involved in that, though.
Probably. Um, yeah, just go for it.
Just go for it. Who cares?
It makes you a more interesting person.
And I really think that
in this, it doesn't make you, I'm sorry,
let me rephrase that. It's something you
want to do, and if it's
that important to you that you're willing to do it,
you're not going to like suddenly hate it.
It's part of your character.
As long as it's something that if somebody like pointed out
and said, hey, that's cool, and like
you had a story behind it, something that's really important
to you, always
do stuff that is important to you.
And unless your husband is awesome
for doing chicken noises because you didn't want to get a tattoo
on your hands.
I would also say, Anna, that
before you do it, you need to come up with
an excuse,
a reasoning for it that you give to commoners.
I think that you need to have two excuses
for every tattoo. One that you give to cool people
that why the tattoo is cool
and one that you give to lame people.
Like, we all have these
Zelda tattoos. And cool people, I tell it's a Zelda tattoo.
And people I don't give a shit about,
I tell them it's tribal.
I say it's a gypsy.
You say it's a gypsy?
I say it's Masonic.
That's so weird.
Do you want that?
My pineapple tattoo, I just, when people ask me
about it and I don't want to tell them, I just say
I'm really into pineapples right now.
I let them fill in their own stories.
People vastly overestimate how much time
everybody else spends thinking
about them. If you want it, you get it.
You only go around once.
So, I have a short series
of three yahoo questions
that are related.
So, I figured we could knock them all out really quick
in like a short segment.
It's just about,
you know, it's about the universe.
You know, it's about the universe.
It's about space.
It's about man's journey into space.
And I was thinking it would be nice for us to just take a moment
and just get all Carl Sagan on this shit.
Let's do it.
Take me on a journey, Griffin.
Question one. What are the stars in outer space?
What they're made of? What they look like?
This one's reasonable.
It's from Jeffrey Pet.
So, I'm figuring he's a younger person.
Jeffrey,
if you really want to know the answer to this,
I would suggest listening to they might be giants
classic.
Why does the sun shine?
I feel like it fills in a lot of the blanks
that you don't seem to understand.
But most of it is untrue.
So, listen to
the new one off of their CD,
Here Comes Science.
On our point, the stars are made up of the souls
of our ancestors.
And also the devil.
The sun shines because the devil lives in it.
That's correct.
Okay, so that's question one.
Question two.
Is the universe really inflating?
Or are we shrinking?
I don't understand the inflating expanding universe
concept. If you're inside of something in this case,
I think all of the scientists are inside of the universe.
Can you really tell that this thing,
the universe is expanding?
Well, maybe the universe is not getting larger,
but we, humans, planets, etc.,
are getting smaller.
I think that the only thing we can surely say
is the universe is getting larger with respect to us.
PS1, sorry for the bad English.
PS2, I'm not very advanced in physics,
so I can be wrong in some manners.
Please warn me if I'm doing a big mistake.
I like that.
What if Galileo had dropped that one?
Listen, this is just me.
I'm just spitballing here.
This is just me.
PS2, I have no idea what I'm talking about,
so don't listen to old Galileo.
You guys pooed my whole son thing,
but check this shit out.
We're shrinking.
What do you think? Just putting it out there,
don't really know.
I'll be honest, I've been having this
feeling in my core lately,
and I can't describe it.
It's just kind of like a weird sensation,
and I think it might be because we're all shrinking
in unison.
None of us know where we're shrinking because we're all shrinking.
You remember that scene in Men in Black right at the end,
when it turns out the whole kitten caboodle
is just in a big intergalactic marble game?
Uh-huh, think about it.
Oh, shit.
Shit.
Man, I'm supposed to laugh at Yahoo questions,
not get freaked out by them.
I gotta go.
Question three, the final question of the series.
What was traditionally done
to prevent mind control by space elves?
He's not saying how do you do it today.
He's saying like, how are you going to do it
when people laugh at you?
Old Wild West remedies
for mind control by space elves.
There had to be some sort of tincture
that Settlers used.
You know, Genghis Khan used to use this exact same thing.
They used to rub an urgent on their babies
so that the space elves couldn't take over
their poor baby minds.
They used to rub an urgent on their babies
so that the space elves couldn't take over
their poor baby minds.
Khan used to make a poultice
out of lotus flowers
and honey, and he would rub that
on his mustache.
Everyone knows that space elves can't get
through opium.
It's true.
Because they get too high, and then they freak out.
So cover your babies in sweet, sweet opium.
I just refreshed it,
and there's some additional details that say,
come on, I'm not joking.
They're from Venus, and they are gross.
I feel like people are trying to bait you now.
They're trying to get you specifically
to look at their questions.
That's entirely possible.
That's the most roundabout thing in the world though.
I'm going to post a question
on this website, so hopefully
Griffin McRoy looks at it.
I mean, if that was this guy's goal, he succeeded.
My problem is, is his problem
with these space elves,
is it that they're trying
to control his mind, or that they're gross,
and he'd rather not be around them?
I do not agree
with them politically.
I don't like their stance
on immigration.
So, here's a good one.
I recently got a sweet new ride.
I've heard that cars are like
chick magnets.
The problem is, when I'm having a conversation with a girl,
it's rarely in my car.
Conversations happen in buildings.
How do I leverage my new car into getting girls?
Does this involve using terms like chick magnet
and sweet ride unironically?
Simple answer, drive your car into the building.
Hey, ladies.
Billy Joel gets more
tang than anybody on the planet.
Yeah.
Sorry about your fracture,
but check these out.
Look at these rims that are on top of your leg.
Can you see them?
Yeah, it's got a hemi.
It's crushing my ocular cavity.
I've got a pretty good look at it.
So, kill girls with it, that's one.
Two,
get white spray paint
and write the word taxi on your car.
And then wait outside
of crowded buildings. That should work.
Write it crudely though
in like a Little Rascals font.
With a backward A.
Make the X backward.
A backward A. Yeah, and taxi.
Okay. I was thinking lowercase.
Okay, that makes more sense.
Thank you. A backward X.
Separate I.
I think what you need to do is start practicing this line.
Can I buy you a drink?
And would you like to share it with me inside my car?
A bartender.
This lady and I are really hitting it off.
Can we get to GoCups?
A traveler.
Can I get a travel off?
Do you have sippy cups?
Because I don't want to spill in my new car
because it is very nice.
Could I get a lid for this MGD64 please?
How about a nipple?
Have a nipple that I could use.
I like how he doesn't...
He says that cars like this are chick magnets.
But he doesn't say exactly what kind of car he owns.
Because I think we would better be able to advise him.
If he's like,
Oh, I've got myself a 2005
PT cruiser.
Let's do it.
The other option is,
and I think this is a little more outside the box,
but have you considered acting like a car
to try to steer conversations
in that way?
If you ever walk up to a girl and say, hey, vroom vroom,
open my door.
I've got a car.
If they're impressed by that,
then I think you're halfway home.
Have you thought about maybe an airbrushed t-shirt?
Oh, an airbrushed t-shirt.
I have a car.
It's pretty sweet.
MA apostrophe car.
And it's a picture of you.
And then just an ironed-on picture of your car.
It's a picture of you sitting on the hood of your car
making out with a girl.
Only the girl doesn't have a face.
It just says your face here on it.
Yeah, and make sure it's not a mannequin
because girls have a pretty good sense of that.
They can see the pores.
So I think all those are really good suggestions.
I think we've pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Hello, brothers.
I just had a quick question for you guys.
I'm sorry if this makes me seem insecure,
but is it bad if I don't want to date a girl
because she has too many male friends?
Thanks, Kirk.
Thanks, Kirk.
Kirk.
I'm not trying to, you know,
hate on Kirk,
but he did spell to T-W-O
which makes me think
she has two
male friends and that's too many
for Kirk's liking.
Shit, maybe he just forgot the T-O-O
so she has two too many.
Listen, if you lose two male friends,
you would be right in the zone.
I think we need to balance out.
I've got eight and you've got ten.
So get rid of those two.
I don't like John and I don't like Stephen.
You could have one way to get to Kirk.
Kirk, you would.
If you just dropped two of those zeroes,
you could get with the champ, Kirk.
Or give me one of them and then we'll both have nine
and then we'll go straight to Kirkland.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Kirk, if you make those guys your friends,
then you just have a large circle of friends.
That is correct.
Problem solved.
Or
every time you see one of them,
just ask,
hey, you two banging?
Make sure it's in front of her though
so she knows that you know what's up.
And also, it'll make her feel special
and loved and wanted.
Yeah, fight for her.
Every time you see any one of her friends, punch them.
You need a guy.
Justin was joking, but it's a
scientific fact that
her and all of her male friends
have either had sex at some point
or they were awfully close.
Yeah, that's just science.
That's just scientific fact.
There was homecoming, both their dates stood them up.
They came really, really close.
They at least got the third base
and they were rounding home when his dad walked in.
MB, MBAM.
This is a different sort of question for us.
MB, MBAM, when a girl you've just met
is fully expecting you to get her number
but you don't like her like that,
is it better to avoid the issue
or to get those digits without any intention of calling?
This is why I carry around.
No, this one.
A big pouch of smoke bombs with me everywhere I go
because you drop one of those
and then you dive through the nearest window
and then the situation's averted.
Or tell her you're going to call
then pack your bags and move right away.
Move to some
rural neighborhood in Utah
where there's no service.
You could do that classic
like, listen, I'm worried
that this is going really good
but I'm worried it's not meant to be.
I'm going to put
my phone number
in a copy of
Love the Time of Cholera
like in Serendipity
and then I'm going to sell it to a used bookstore.
But actually just burn it.
And they just burn it.
So it's like romantic
but in the same way you're never going to have to see her again.
Or just start talking shit about phones.
Just like halfway through your convo
just like all those buttons.
How about using my phone? There are no buttons.
It's virtual buttons.
They're even worse.
If she takes out a phone, make like a yuck face.
Or just slap it out of her hand.
She uses phones in this day and age. It's all about mental powers.
Yeah, you could break her phone.
Yeah, sure. Let me just put it right in.
Oh, no.
These big stupid strong hands of mine.
I studied under David Blaine
for a few years. So give me your phone
and I'm going to dunk it in this glass of water.
And then when she looks at you
you just say ta-da!
Here we go, Sploosh!
Mindfreak!
I just convince you to give me your phone.
Mindfreak!
I'm a girl. I'm not.
I'm a girl who plays Xbox games like Halo
and Modern Warfare 2 and Mindfreak.
I need a lot of great people this way
but there are always a few who think
because I'm a girl I should be making them a sandwich instead of playing.
What is the best way to deal with these guys?
Also Tristan,
the Marine got me hooked on you guys
so thank him for introducing me to such an awesome show.
Tristan is Tristan the Marine.
Not only protecting our nation,
protecting us, swooping Osama's Poon
he is
expanding our audience.
He's evangelizing.
He's protecting us from the far worse threat
of people not listening to our show.
That's way worse than Osama.
Thank you Tristan.
Thank you Tristan for your service
So Rachel
the only surefire way
is to talk like this
and people think you're a monster
like a scary monster
and they won't ask you for anything.
Talk like this.
And yell things like
I will come through the TV and kill you.
Yeah.
Or get a deep voice man to do it.
We used to play a game
where I would
I think would be on the microphone
just talking to people
while we played Modern Warfare or Halo
and then we would grab the mic away
either Justin or I
and yell at them that we were going to come murder them.
Yeah, that was fun.
Have you considered
how would you even
get the sandwich to them?
Yeah.
Start asking them a really detailed question
about the sandwich.
Ask them for a FedEx account number
and like
any food allergies
anything you need to know
preferred deli meat
get their address and put it right on the internet
and then just watch 4chan go.
I think you've got to really beat them
like you've really got to be better
than they are in Halo and Modern Warfare 2.
That's I think a surefire way
because then you can be like
that's right I'm a girl
and I just beat you.
This is me humping your face.
This is me humping your face.
They are going to like that.
Yeah.
Or you can trick them
sexually harassing you and then report them.
That works good. I like that.
Yahoo Answers user
smiley face. It's just a smiley face
to Modicon.
Okay. Asks
Do guys like Peter Griffin get laid
in real life?
In terms of characteristics
i.e. fat retard
What?
I could draw
you a bit. I could
paint a picture of the person asking
this question and I would be like
like like like
sketch artist level accurate.
Like you can put up a wanted post
at this bitch and you'd be like
that guy. Oh that's that guy
question. Justin knows exactly what he looks
like.
No.
No.
Well they have to pay for it.
Yes. Okay. In that instance
they don't get married to you know.
If you
if you mean like they're fat and like
if you mean okay fat fat
if they're retarded if you're
using that as a pejorative
if you're saying like oh you're so retarded
then no. If they're clinically
retarded then yes those services are
provided by the government. Your tax dollars
work. I'm sorry can we stop
the show really quick. Are you describing
hookers that the
government pays for
to sleep with retarded
people. You're talking about
you're talking about hookers. On this inside
track in DC is this
a new thing? Is this been going on for a while?
You're talking about hookers that are partitioned
for retarded
people to sleep with on the government
side. My tax dollars.
Right.
You get a helmet.
They provide you with a helmet. For the
for who?
Exactly. For the hooker. Okay.
There's usually
there's usually model planes
and light dangling from their ceilings.
So the helmet. And also the strength.
Yeah the strength.
It's hard for
this is the worst thing we've ever said
on the show.
It's hard for
a mentally handicapped person to get
aroused without giving someone a
bonk on the head.
Just a bonk.
Just like one bonk.
Just one of the brain deaths. Give them the old
sex bonk. They give them
an old windmill chop right
to the crown. A lot of people
don't know this but that's actually how
new retarded people are created.
It's a hooker
having sex with a retarded person who gives
a bonk on the head until they themselves are retarded
and then they have to
then they are then the government
has to get a norm
male to have sex with that hooker
and the cycle continues.
Can we move on?
Please dear god. You're definitely going to edit this out right?
No.
You do have to promise me you'll edit this out.
Kenneth. I like it.
Kenneth on Gmail asks my question
however is how old is too old to think you
might have developed superpowers?
I ripped a metal door off its hinges at work
and thought okay this might be it. Super strength.
I tried to lift something
ridiculously heavy and no jive. Just a broken door
I guess. Do you guys do this?
And when is too old?
Straight up Kenneth.
You do have a superpower but it only works on doors.
Some doors.
Some doors. Not all doors.
Some doors. Broken doors.
You already have super good taste in podcasts.
Is that a
superpower?
No.
Justin if you were to have a superpower based off
of your everyday life what do you think it would be?
If you were to all of a sudden realize
oh my god this is a superpower.
I would want to
have a super ability
to be able to tell people
if they were too old to have developed superpowers.
I don't think that that's shooting
too high
and I think that it would be really useful
because I could really ruin people's days.
I could walk past them and be like
too old.
Mine is I can tell what people's shoe sizes are
by the sound of their voice.
Jared who called in Google Voice
he was a 10 and a half.
Wow that's incredible.
That's amazing. How do you do that?
I don't know size 13.
Oh my god.
I can do the same thing
but only when that voice is telling me
what size shoes they purchased.
Then I'm pretty good at that.
And that they purchased the shoes for themselves.
I'm like 50-50 because the listening thing
the comprehension just isn't there.
I want to hear Griffin's last question
because it's always a humdinger
but first I want to tell you
about all kinds of
exciting things.
First off we have
one more week of pre-orders for
my brother and my brother and me t-shirts
you can find those at
if you go to mbmbam.com and you click buy stuff
one more
and again we don't know how many of those we're going to make
they're soft
they look comfortable.
Do we know that they're soft?
Have we felt these shirts before?
I have been assured
that they are soft.
What if they're like pine cone rough?
What if they're scaled?
What if they're scaly?
What if they're actually nail scaly?
Yes.
That's an added benefit isn't it?
Maybe they'll be baby soft
or they'll be protective.
I think that
if you want
a different style of t-shirt
a lot of people have asked me
they want t-shirts that say
my walnut is a temple
or
they say
some people have wanted a lube bag
that shirt
if these do well
we might do a second run with different shirts
but
these are the two on offer for right now
so
that's that
ok so
we've also got
an iphone ipod
app
it is my brother and my brother and me
the app experience
you search for it on iTunes
and we're going to put
a link up under the buy stuff
section
as soon as the show is over so you can go there
and get it if you want it
What's all involved in that app experience?
What's all involved? Well
you got access to every show
every episode
you can download
art from the shows
and use them as
wallpapers
you got that
you can
you can
get some extras
there's at least one extra
we're going to have some
bonus content up there
we have one little audio clip
right now that I put up
it won't be anything too big
because we know a lot of people don't have
iPhones and we don't want to make everybody
feel left out but we do want to do a little
something for the people that spent it though
the one that's up there though is super funny
I thought it was super funny you had me rolling
dog
you had me straight rolling
rolling rolling rolling
rolling rolling rolling
so that's up there
and the newest
episode will always be there
it's on that app
and I hear background downloading is coming soon
a lot of people have been asking me about
an android app it seriously is so out of our
hands it's just a service that lives in
our podcast provider provides
so totally up to them
whether or not
you will be able to get down on android
eventually we have like no control over this
the app or
the empire
really the empire really or the
t-shirts we're not doing those either
we're just
we're just three brothers
we're just three real brothers
who give out advice on the internet
everybody else
you know makes them live in a giant mansion
also on the app there's a
links to our facebook and a button
