  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?

• 1:10Travis McElroy?

  Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Maximum Fun Drive. It's my brother, my brother me. I'm Elvis' brother, Justin McElroy. I'm sorry, Justin. I'm pretty sure you have to sing Send in the Clowns.

• 1:21Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, it is actually contractually obligated that you sing the song.

• 1:26Travis McElroy?

  No, if you don't do it. Send in the Clowns is for the monumental episodes. This is the, this is Pay the Piper. Oh, right, right, right.

• 1:33Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, you're right. You're right. You're right. So, yeah, I guess hit Pay the Piper maybe a little bit harder. The notes, I'm getting these notes back from the focus group that we hired to sit and watch us.

• 1:41Travis McElroy?

  So, yeah, that's so interesting. Um, let me try again, because I know that we have paid, this is the one bad thing about Max Fun Drive, which is the time that we come to you every year and say, hey, if you like the content that we make here in the Maximum Fun Network, if you could kick in a few bucks to help make that happen. The negative thing about it that a lot of people don't want to talk about, but I would like to get out

• 2:02Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 2:02Travis McElroy?

  early is that we have already prepaid a consulting firm hundreds of thousands of dollars.

• 2:07Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, so much money. It's crazy.

• 2:09Travis McElroy?

  To optimize this drive. There is no way we are not already sunk.

• 2:14Griffin McElroy?

  We are taking a huge.

• 2:16Travis McElroy?

  Good money after bad.

• 2:17Griffin McElroy?

  Taking a huge bath. We've never not been in the red despite how much incredible support we've gotten. But Jesse loves this consulting firm.

• 2:24Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 2:25Griffin McElroy?

  Is crazy about them.

• 2:26Travis McElroy?

  Jesse's not even in charge anymore. It's a co-op run with employees, but still somehow he's the one.

• 2:33Griffin McElroy?

  He'll still text you like using the firm and he does it in all lowercase. So you know, he's being like, kind of coy about it, but he loves this fucking firm. But it is the max fun drive. And this show exists because of people like you listening to it and enjoying it now. So please go to maximumfun.org/join. There's so many great, wonderful prizes. I don't know if we're supposed to call them prizes, but.

• 2:54Travis McElroy?

  What's up, Trav Nation? I'm your middlest brother, Travis, the big dog wolf of vroom vroom, the heater, award winning hat in hand, McElroy.

• 3:02Griffin McElroy?

  What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, your sweet baby brother, 30 under 30, media luminary, built for tough. I don't have a baseball one yet. Griffin McElroy.

• 3:10Travis McElroy?

  It felt like the time to deploy it.

• 3:13Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 3:13Travis McElroy?

  I was waiting for the right moment. So this, we haven't said it yet, but this is Max Fun Drive.

• 3:20Griffin McElroy?

  I should have mentioned that up top.

• 3:22Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, we should have mentioned it.

• 3:23Griffin McElroy?

  That up top.

• 3:24Travis McElroy?

  This is your chance to support the art and artists you love, and that's us. Cause the number one thing we are artists.

• 3:32Griffin McElroy?

  Artists making art because of you. Thanks to you for supporting us.

• 3:37Travis McElroy?

  Sorry, I was just reading back over the past highlights of the my bim bam bonus content. And I had completely forgotten that we rerecorded one of our episodes with Matt Doyle.

• 3:50Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, it was conceptual. It was, it was extraordinarily conceptual. That's right, Justin. That is, but one of the many Boko offerings.

• 3:57Travis McElroy?

  What about Pranky Doodle Dandy?

• 3:59Griffin McElroy?

  Pranky Doodle Dandy. I think Pranky Doodle Dandy contains my best joke. My best joke I've ever deployed is in Pranky Doodle Dandy. And it was against our friend Lynn and you just gotta hear it to believe it. Cause it's so fucking sick. It's like a sick burn and a great joke.

• 4:14Travis McElroy?

  So if, if people go to maximumfun.org/join, you can get all these details. You can hear about all this, but Travis, I, you were mid spiel and I interrupted. I'm so sorry. Well, we have a lot of great Boko. Uh, some past highlights include Pranky Doodle Dandy, which includes Griffin's best joke.

• 4:31Travis McElroy?

  Um, we did a full rerecording of episode 400, uh, with Matt Doyle.

• 4:38Griffin McElroy?

  That was our, uh, escape to Margaritaville, blue carpet premiere episode. It was a fever dream.

• 4:43Travis McElroy?

  There's all kinds of stuff. You can go to maximumfun.org/join to become a member today.

• 4:48Griffin McElroy?

  Do we want to talk about what we did this year for our book code?

• 4:50Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 4:51Travis McElroy?

  Travis, I think you could do it, but then I think Travis is gonna do it again after.

• 4:54Travis McElroy?

  In a more professional, like someone who won an iHeart media podcast award.

• 5:02Griffin McElroy?

  We didn't win it for, for, we did not win it for pledge driving. We won it for ads, which is very much the opposite.

• 5:07Travis McElroy?

  It's an ad. This is an ad. A pledge drive is an ad for.

• 5:09Griffin McElroy?

  An ad for us. An ad, yeah, I guess so.

• 5:12Travis McElroy?

  So big, so big, you know, big radio doesn't come in and buy out the whole station and shut us down like they've been threatening to do for so long.

• 5:19Travis McElroy?

  Old man radio, not gonna, radio killed the podcast star.

• 5:23Travis McElroy?

  Sirius XM has been banging on the door, saying, you guys have a radio station? We're a radio company. Let's work this out.

• 5:31Griffin McElroy?

  And they, they don't want us to do a show on there. They want to shut us down.

• 5:35Travis McElroy?

  They want to shut us down because we're competing with Howard Stern.

• 5:38Travis McElroy?

  They've been calling me a lot. They're like, how would you like two hours after Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray? And I'm like, what do you mean two hours after? Like, what does that mean? And now you could see in the booth that he was just in for two hours thinking your thoughts. And I'm like, that sounds great. Would I play music? And they said, oh, God, no.

• 5:55Travis McElroy?

  No, no, no, no, we don't play music.

• 5:56Griffin McElroy?

  Travis, I actually, I hate to do this in the middle of our sort of pledge driver. We're asking people to support us at maximumfun.org/join. But they, none of Mark's McGrath's, uh, microphones are plugged in. They just let him go in there and it, but none of his mics are plugged in. There's nothing recording. He just goes in there and they say, time for your show. And it's different every week.

• 6:17Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 6:17Griffin McElroy?

  Um, but none of it is actually real. It's a toy. In fact, it's using a Fisher Price toy, uh, microphone, but he hasn't noticed yet.

• 6:24Travis McElroy?

  That tracks. So for as low as $5 a month, you become a member, or if you're already a member, you could consider upgrading, boosting, all those things. There's a whole bunch of different levels with a whole bunch of different rewards. And if you go to maximumfun.org/join, you'll find out about those now. What kind of special stuff do we have planned for the Max Fun Drive? Well, I'm glad you asked. I've invented a new game.

• 6:46Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, man, that sounds like a lot of fun. I just want to hear what our bo code this year is.

• 6:51Travis McElroy?

  Oh, right. We sat down with Janet Varney for a masterclass on voice acting in which Janet Varney. Uh, shamed us into being better voice actors? Question mark? Uh, you could check that out as well as every past book code, not just from my brother, my brother and me, but from all the Max Fun shows, including Adventure Zone, Stallbone, Schmanners and Wonderful at MaximumFun.org/joint. Now, are you ready?

• 7:18Griffin McElroy?

  How come whenever she said mean stuff to us, she always did it in the Cora voice? Cause she was like, I want it to feel like Cora is like fucking burning you and razzing you.

• 7:26Travis McElroy?

  Well, that's how she do.

• 7:28Griffin McElroy?

  I guess so.

• 7:29Travis McElroy?

  That's how Janie Varney.

• 7:30Griffin McElroy?

  It's very powerful, a good, strong, powerful move.

• 7:32Travis McElroy?

  It's River Natural. These are two real weird shows. Weird stuff happens on them. Sometimes the same on both. It's River Natural. Welcome to River Natural, a game in which I will give you a plotline and you will tell me if it's from Riverdale, Supernatural or both.

• 7:53Griffin McElroy?

  This is a good, good, good, good, good idea, Travie. I'm so excited for it. And I'm excited for, and I'm excited for your mustache.

• 8:01Travis McElroy?

  Thank you very much, Griffin.

• 8:02Griffin McElroy?

  That I did have to tell, I did give you some criticisms, some editorial notes before. It was quite lopsided by about a good quarter inch.

• 8:10Travis McElroy?

  But sometimes it takes a brother's eye and a mother's love. So.

• 8:14Griffin McElroy?

  Really quite a gift, cause you could have let the internet handle your light work and that's very beautiful of you, Griffin. Nah, man, I mean, it looked like he was wearing a, like a upside down uppercase J. Uh, it was really quite.

• 8:26Travis McElroy?

  I was going for a look. It was a, it was a, it was a love letter to Justin and you took that away from him. Like it was melting down one side.

• 8:34Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 8:34Travis McElroy?

  Yes. It was a Salvador Dali mustache.

• 8:38Griffin McElroy?

  Travis, is it gonna, is it gonna fuck things up that I've seen probably two seasons of Riverdale? And then as much Supernatural as I can stomach, that show is too scary for me.

• 8:47Travis McElroy?

  No.

• 8:47Griffin McElroy?

  I feel like I'm gonna have a, I did, I feel like Riverdale didn't get too supernatural until later on.

• 8:53Travis McElroy?

  A lot of this stuff is from later season, uh, Riverdale. So Riverdale. Which season does the smoke monster come out of Jughead's butt? That's episode one, season one. Okay, yeah, right. That's opening shot. Yeah. Literally. So, Riverdale show about some all American teenagers and uh Supernatural, a show about two brothers, uh, traveling the world, fighting demons and monsters and stuff. And the Venn diagram is a circle. Okay, are you guys ready? Uh, yeah, I'm ready and willing. Okay, here is your first plot line. The main characters have to deal with a haunted doll, moving on its own and terrorizing people.

• 9:36Travis McElroy?

  Is that Riverdale, Supernatural, or both?

• 9:41Travis McElroy?

  Both. I also think it's both. That seems, uh, that seems general enough. That is correct. Sam and Dean do battle with a ghost that possesses dolls and murders people at a bed and breakfast. And Cheryl Blossom's unborn brother, which would have made her and her brother triplets, Julian possesses a doll and it causes friction between Cheryl and her girlfriend. Oh. What kind of, that could mean anything. Well, her girlfriend's like, hey, hopefully for fuck's sake, please get rid of that haunted doll. And while you're at it, if you want to get rid of the corpse of your brother, that you put makeup on and keep around the house for some reason, that would also be cool. If I had a doll with one of you guys in it, I would for sure get rid of it because I think that's what you would want.

• 10:26Travis McElroy?

  If a haunted doll is ever causing literal friction in your sexual relationship, it may be time to reevaluate because that is not an appropriate application of a haunted doll.

• 10:36Travis McElroy?

  I should also say spoilers for Riverdale and Supernatural if that wasn't on yet. Yeah, geez, pal. After traveling through time with an angel by their side, a main character tries to stop the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Okay, okay, okay.

• 10:50Travis McElroy?

  Holy fucking shit, dude.

• 10:53Griffin McElroy?

  Fuck dude.

• 10:54Travis McElroy?

  Either one is pretty bodacious.

• 10:57Griffin McElroy?

  Both is the big play right now.

• 10:59Travis McElroy?

  A lot of new stuff like this is Quantum Leap, as we all know.

• 11:02Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, Quantum Leap is the only one. Uh, fuck dude.

• 11:05Travis McElroy?

  I answered authoritatively first, Griffin. I'm gonna let you-

• 11:07Griffin McElroy?

  Okay, I know there is a time travel subplot at some point in Supernatural. So I'm gonna say Supernatural. I do not think they would touch this rail with Archie and the gang.

• 11:17Travis McElroy?

  I, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with Griffin because there is also a time travel subplot in Riverdale where they go back to her original Archie times.

• 11:25Griffin McElroy?

  Holy shit.

• 11:26Travis McElroy?

  Everybody's Archie-ized to the original Archie vision.

• 11:28Griffin McElroy?

  That sounds cool.

• 11:30Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, man, I've kind of, I know, I'm not ever gonna, you know, I just-

• 11:35Griffin McElroy?

  Sure, I'm not gonna watch it, dude.

• 11:36Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, I'm not gonna watch it, it sounds cool.

• 11:37Travis McElroy?

  Justin is correct.

• 11:39Griffin McElroy?

  Ah, damn it.

• 11:40Travis McElroy?

  Tabitha, who is Pop's granddaughter, is chronokinetic, or more simply put, a time traveler. This is from the Wiki.

• 11:46Griffin McElroy?

  What the?

• 11:46Travis McElroy?

  The trauma of her getting shot by Percival's hitmen unlocked her gift, sending her back in time to December 24th, 1944, where she was guided by her guardian angel Raphael to complete her mission. As Tabitha continued to travel, she learned that some events in time are fixed points, meaning certain incidents from the past affect the fabric of the world so enormously that the universe won't let them be altered, such as the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

• 12:10Griffin McElroy?

  So this is, this is the Jughead Show Riverdale.

• 12:14Travis McElroy?

  Correct.

• 12:16Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome. That's great. I heard, I'll be honest, Travis, I heard angel and I thought, lay up. Uh, Supernatural is lousy with these fucking hot, hot guys usually. Uh, just egg on my face.

• 12:28Travis McElroy?

  Sorry, Griff.

• 12:29Travis McElroy?

  A witch burned at the stake centuries earlier possesses a main character and attempts to seduce another main character.

• 12:35Griffin McElroy?

  Both.

• 12:37Griffin McElroy?

  That's easy both.

• 12:38Travis McElroy?

  I'm gonna say Supernatural.

• 12:40Travis McElroy?

  That would be Riverdale. Cheryl's-

• 12:44Griffin McElroy?

  What happened on that show?

• 12:45Travis McElroy?

  Cheryl's ancestor was a powerful witch, possesses her body, and attempts to seduce her girlfriend. If I'm not mistaken, the same girlfriend that didn't like having the haunted doll around.

• 12:53Griffin McElroy?

  Haunted doll, yeah. Why is she sticking around, man? This is your sign. Get out of there.

• 12:58Travis McElroy?

  It is discussed, so right now, Justin has one point. It is discovered that the events of the series are being written about in a popular book series.

• 13:06Griffin McElroy?

  Whoa. Huh.

• 13:10Griffin McElroy?

  Okay. Both. Supernatural.

• 13:12Travis McElroy?

  Griffin is correct. There's a book series that chronicles the Winchester Brothers adventures by an author named Chuck. There is a similar storyline in Riverdale that results in Jughead having to lock himself in a bunker and write stories to save the universe, but that universe is River Vale, a dark version of Riverdale.

• 13:29Griffin McElroy?

  Trav, I need to, I need to know this is a reputable wiki that you're getting these from and not, uh, something more, let's say amateur generated, unauthorized.

• 13:44Travis McElroy?

  This is all real, baby.

• 13:46Griffin McElroy?

  That's cool. So Jughead the Burger Man has to save the universe by writing.

• 13:52Travis McElroy?

  Yes.

• 13:52Griffin McElroy?

  By writing his way out. That's cool.

• 13:54Travis McElroy?

  Well, there's two Jugheads because they're in River Vale. So there's Riverdale Jughead and River Vale Jughead, often referred to as narrator Jughead and writer Jughead.

• 14:04Griffin McElroy?

  Okay. There's two, there's two, there's two Jugheads inside of all of us.

• 14:08Travis McElroy?

  That's true.

• 14:10Travis McElroy?

  So this is kinda like a Ted Mosby situation where you got two different Ted Mosby, you got the, uh, the older guy telling the story to his kids and then you got the younger guy who's an architect.

• 14:22Travis McElroy?

  And none of it can be trusted.

• 14:24Griffin McElroy?

  You got Saget Prime.

• 14:25Travis McElroy?

  Saget Prime. And he's changing the story for the kids because sometimes they'll take out some of the profanity.

• 14:31Travis McElroy?

  And change lead to sandwiches.

• 14:34Griffin McElroy?

  Is there, um, is there like a supernatural plot line on how, on hymn? I think is the, how you shorten that one?

• 14:41Travis McElroy?

  They're all ghosts.

• 14:42Griffin McElroy?

  Hymn. Okay.

• 14:43Travis McElroy?

  They're all ghosts. Residents of a town are terrorized by what they believe to be paranormal predators, but the main characters discover it is actually a family of crazed rednecks.

• 14:53Griffin McElroy?

  Both shows, both shows. My brother, my brother and me. By virtue of this segment, yeah, I think Justin should get at least a half a point.

• 15:04Travis McElroy?

  Okay. Yeah. Justin can have a half point. Griffin is correct.

• 15:08Travis McElroy?

  In Supernatural, it's one episode. In Riverdale, it spans at least one season, maybe multiple seasons. It is, uh, at first believed to be an alien species called the Mothman.

• 15:20Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, interesting. They didn't know that they could use that.

• 15:22Travis McElroy?

  Yep. Until they discovered that it is an inbred redneck family, like you do.

• 15:27Griffin McElroy?

  So you guys couldn't, you, it's the one cryptid we have. Well, I guess we have Flatwood Monster too, but come on.

• 15:33Travis McElroy?

  Okay, we got lots of cryptids.

• 15:36Travis McElroy?

  A D and D-esque game is unleashed on the town and many residents become obsessed. The game involves many real life dangers to advance, including every player receiving a mission to murder one of the main characters.

• 15:50Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, man, that's cool.

• 15:53Travis McElroy?

  Justin, I feel like you've lost the plot a little bit. It's Riverdale, Supernatural, or both?

• 15:58Griffin McElroy?

  Or both. There's only three answers.

• 16:00Travis McElroy?

  You can't write in E and then like fill that bubble in. That doesn't work.

• 16:05Griffin McElroy?

  Is neither an option.

• 16:07Travis McElroy?

  No. Riverdale, Supernatural, or both?

• 16:12Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 16:13Travis McElroy?

  I feel like, I feel like Supernatural would be more tuned into that community.

• 16:17Griffin McElroy?

  But I do think Riverdale is the right answer.

• 16:21Griffin McElroy?

  Cause I think they would do a Jumanji episode for sure.

• 16:23Travis McElroy?

  Griffin is correct. In Riverdale, they play Griffins and Gargoyles. And at the behest of the Gargoyle King, a terrorizing figure that is seen wandering the town and he's like 10 feet tall. At one point, every player is assigned the mission to murder Archie.

• 16:42Griffin McElroy?

  Whoa, holy shit. Good luck.

• 16:45Travis McElroy?

  You never see that coming.

• 16:46Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, damn. I want to be the Gargoyle King. Is Riverdale good?

• 16:51Travis McElroy?

  There's also a scene where Archie fistfights a bear and I couldn't figure out a way to include that that wouldn't make it obvious that it was Archie fighting a bear.

• 17:00Griffin McElroy?

  Did the bear also have a game, like a character sheet?

• 17:03Travis McElroy?

  This is separate. Archie kicks the bear's ass.

• 17:06Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, of course.

• 17:06Travis McElroy?

  Archie or the bear.

• 17:08Travis McElroy?

  And yeah, who would you rather be stuck in the woods with?

• 17:12Griffin McElroy?

  One Archie or one bear?

• 17:15Travis McElroy?

  I mean, I would say if the Archie over the bear, but Jughead can rewrite reality. So I don't know where that puts him in the power rankings.

• 17:23Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah. Travis, that was a really good game.

• 17:25Travis McElroy?

  Griffin wins.

• 17:26Travis McElroy?

  You say that because you won. That's the only reason you like the game.

• 17:29Griffin McElroy?

  It's a really good game. I can't, I watched a not insignificant amount of Riverdale. And they didn't get into any of this shit. They didn't get in anywhere near that shit.

• 17:41Travis McElroy?

  I am stricken with embarrassingly poor eyesight and can't see without my glasses. I lost my glasses this morning. So the only way I can see and read throughout the day is with my prescription sunglasses. How do I wear my sunglasses indoors, out in public without seeming like a douchey asshole? That's from corrective vision needed in Columbus.

• 18:02Griffin McElroy?

  The extra info here is so necessary.

• 18:04Travis McElroy?

  They are copper polarized lenses.

• 18:07Griffin McElroy?

  You know.

• 18:07Travis McElroy?

  So this is gonna be big Hollywood energy. This is not like, this is a light tint. This is like, yeah, we could have all those cleared out by next week and get a Chipotle in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm just shutting down this stupid place.

• 18:21Griffin McElroy?

  The type of sunglasses puts such a fucking vital vector on this because if they were sort of more tame sunglasses, I would see no problem here. If you roll up into the Panera Bread looking like fucking cold trickle, then you're not going to, you are gonna turn some heads.

• 18:40Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. I know that the quote, he can't see a thing without his glasses is from my girl. But I, for some reason, my brain always first attributes it to the mummy with the guy.

• 18:52Griffin McElroy?

  Travis, yes, yeah, yes.

• 18:53Travis McElroy?

  This sentence can't be going anywhere interesting. I'm just gonna call an audible on this sentence.

• 18:59Travis McElroy?

  No, you're not. There's a member.

• 19:00Travis McElroy?

  It's gonna pay off.

• 19:01Griffin McElroy?

  One of Travis's brain mistakes.

• 19:03Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, is that I always think he can't see a thing without his glasses is about the member of the American party that loses his glasses and the mummy takes his eyes.

• 19:13Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah, sure. Travis, I'm right there with you, but I also very recently watched the mummy.

• 19:16Travis McElroy?

  You're also more there with me when I tried to stop that.

• 19:19Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, who could say? Who could say? I think that a power move would be every time anyone says anything, lower your glasses and look over the top of them and say, I'm basically legally blind right now. And then slide them back up.

• 19:35Griffin McElroy?

  That could, I mean, that's extremely descriptive. Like, you're gonna, no one's going to say fucking shit after that, Travis. So it's a strong answer in that regard, but that is a, I don't know if that's a social encounter that most people are like, wanting to sort of volunteer over and over and over.

• 19:51Travis McElroy?

  That's fair.

• 19:54Travis McElroy?

  I guess the, like, you could really try to play it up like you're doing a bit because of how good your life's going. Oh, yeah. Like, like, people are like, hey, Dave, how are things going? You look at me like, uh, you're pretty good.

• 20:09Griffin McElroy?

  You tell me.

• 20:10Travis McElroy?

  Check the shades.

• 20:12Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 20:12Travis McElroy?

  Shades, I'm indoor.

• 20:14Travis McElroy?

  And then, and then hand him a 20. Thanks for asking, kid.

• 20:18Griffin McElroy?

  Uh oh, what's that? Jeans and flip flops? Hang loose.

• 20:22Travis McElroy?

  I ran into Dave earlier today. Things are going really good for him, I think.

• 20:27Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. He gave me a 20 and said, keep the change, which I didn't understand at all, but he said it in such a way that I said, thank you, Mr. Dave. And I, I was confused but impressed. I don't know, man.

• 20:41Griffin McElroy?

  I heard his house just burned down, but he's in like a fucking vibey mood right now.

• 20:45Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. Did he have insurance? Did he have like a big insurance? Was it arson, maybe?

• 20:49Griffin McElroy?

  Do you think Dave burned down his own house for the arson money and that's why he's vibing so tight right now?

• 20:54Travis McElroy?

  He's so cool.

• 20:55Griffin McElroy?

  God, he's, damn, he's cool. Look at those polarized lenses. I think we got it.

• 21:00Travis McElroy?

  I went on an overnight work retreat with one pair of jeans, planning to wear them both days. Yes.

• 21:05Griffin McElroy?

  Sure.

• 21:06Travis McElroy?

  I spilled coffee on my jeans. So I tried to wash them out in the sink last night. This morning, my jeans are soaking wet. How do I wear my pajama pants today with such purpose that my colleagues do not ask questions? They are light gray sweatpants. I think I can do this.

• 21:23Griffin McElroy?

  That's awesome. More of that.

• 21:25Travis McElroy?

  Context. I like that. I think I could do this. That's from two casual Friday. P.S. I packed three shirts for this two day work retreat. Why couldn't I have spilled the coffee on my shirt?

• 21:35Travis McElroy?

  Shirt, pants, shirt, pants, shirt, pants.

• 21:39Griffin McElroy?

  Shirt, pants, pull them on. Button up, tuck it into your underwear.

• 21:43Travis McElroy?

  Just sew the crotch where the buttons is.

• 21:45Travis McElroy?

  Shirt, pants.

• 21:46Griffin McElroy?

  Yep.

• 21:47Travis McElroy?

  Shirt, pants.

• 21:48Griffin McElroy?

  Butterfly.

• 21:50Griffin McElroy?

  Butterfly all the way around.

• 21:51Travis McElroy?

  I I once saw a post somewhere that said like I pack clothes like I'm planning to shit my pants every day. And that is very much when I pack, if it's like, I'm gonna be there for four days, so I'll need 12 pairs of underwear. Like that's

• 22:09Travis McElroy?

  my thought process. And like, I am the person, I will pack a pair of pants for every day. And then like an extra pair of pants, mostly because I know that I will often just shrek around, knock stuff over, spill things on myself, sometimes right out the gate, you know?

• 22:29Travis McElroy?

  I, I, I have to quibble with our listeners. Y'all have got to start coming to us a few mistakes earlier than you are. Like,

• 22:41Griffin McElroy?

  it's so much, it's so hard to do this after.

• 22:43Travis McElroy?

  Let's take it from the beginning, okay? Hey, I'm on a work trip. Oh, that's cool. Make sure you pack a couple pairs of pants. Nope, just one. Thank you.

• 22:50Travis McElroy?

  Okay. Oh, okay. Well, four articles of clothing. But here's the thing.

• 22:55Travis McElroy?

  Just don't spill anything on them. Nope, too late. Spilled coffee on them. Aw, that stinks. Well, make sure you wash them. Yeah, I did. Oh, good. Well, make sure you get them dry. Nope, I didn't. Well, guys, what do I do now? Fucking, why did you come to us earlier? You know what I mean? Like, hey, guys, help me pack for my big trip.

• 23:13Griffin McElroy?

  God, I crush at packing. I love packing so much and they never ask us to do it, guys.

• 23:17Travis McElroy?

  Give me your perfect packing presentation.

• 23:19Griffin McElroy?

  My perfect packing presentation?

• 23:21Travis McElroy?

  Cause I think, I think packing's not cool. I think packing's for grandmas. Teach me, teach me, Griffin. Give me your perfect packing presentation.

• 23:27Griffin McElroy?

  I mean, I like to fold them up tight. I like no creases. My undies, I roll into little burritos and I build sort of barriers between uh, different items with those.

• 23:36Travis McElroy?

  I stopped folding my underwear a decade ago, so I don't.

• 23:39Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, it's not a fold, it's a roll. This is what I'm saying. Boop.

• 23:42Travis McElroy?

  Oh, I'm like, I'm not gonna roll. It's like, it's always a cram with the undies. Cram in a drawer, cram in a suitcase, always a cram. I pack, I pack, my packing experience is like a Severance, Inny and Audi, where when I get to the place that I'm going, I open my suitcase and I'm like, who packed this?

• 23:59Griffin McElroy?

  Surprise.

• 24:00Travis McElroy?

  Nothing is anywhere. I can't find, what's in here?

• 24:04Griffin McElroy?

  I like it. Wherever I am with my bag is my home and I want it to feel like home. And so I roll my underwear up into burrito shapes.

• 24:10Travis McElroy?

  Just like you do at home?

• 24:12Griffin McElroy?

  Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It's like a Chipotle down there.

• 24:16Travis McElroy?

  How many pairs of pants do you bring?

• 24:19Griffin McElroy?

  Two pairs of pants, four spills.

• 24:22Travis McElroy?

  Do you do one jeans and one fancy knot jeans?

• 24:26Griffin McElroy?

  I might.

• 24:27Travis McElroy?

  That's usually what I do. I do a brown denim and a regular denim.

• 24:30Griffin McElroy?

  Two kinds of pants.

• 24:31Travis McElroy?

  I have a, I have a pair of dress pants that's kind of stretchy and soft and they feel like pajama pants, but they look like dress pants and those are my go to flying pants.

• 24:42Griffin McElroy?

  Yes.

• 24:42Travis McElroy?

  Cause they say I'm comfortable in these all day.

• 24:44Griffin McElroy?

  Cause no one knows.

• 24:45Travis McElroy?

  No one knows.

• 24:45Griffin McElroy?

  No one knows how stretchy it is.

• 24:47Travis McElroy?

  How do you dress up? How you dress up pajama pants?

• 24:50Griffin McElroy?

  Starch, you gotta starch them up.

• 24:52Travis McElroy?

  Starch is good. Starch and iron is good.

• 24:55Griffin McElroy?

  Fold each leg sort of the wrong way, right? Depth wise, make a pleat, make a nice sharp pleat with an iron, starch those bad boys the fuck up. I get a lot of TikTok content of starch, people starch maxing and making their clothes so rigid that they can stand up on their own and then they have to put those clothes on. That's my algo right now. Anything's possible.

• 25:18Travis McElroy?

  Lower into them like Wallace and Gromit?

• 25:21Griffin McElroy?

  No, they like laid to have to lay down on the ground and kind of scoot into them. They're wearing other pants. By the way, this is not a nude sexual sort of, this is not like my thing is like starch maxing. I'm just saying it's ended up in my algo and they keep giving it to me because I'm, every time I'm like, there's no way they're getting those goddamn jeans on.

• 25:37Travis McElroy?

  So you are interested in it. It's not like it keeps popping up and you're like, what is this doing here?

• 25:42Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, but like their dick's not out. Like it's not about that.

• 25:45Travis McElroy?

  No one said it was.

• 25:47Griffin McElroy?

  No, I know, but I, I want, Travis, again, preparation is a big part of it. Cutting it off at the pass. I just want people to know this is because it's funny to me to watch people put on rigid jeans. You can make sweatpants into dress pants.

• 25:59Travis McElroy?

  Could you fashion a sweatband out of like a hand towel or something? Cut the sleeves off a T-shirt, roll up playing like the Rocky theme on your phone and you're like, I'm ready to company retreat. Let's do this. I'm like, I'm prepped. I'm pumped. Now you're the CEO. You got promoted because you care the most.

• 26:18Griffin McElroy?

  Yes.

• 26:19Travis McElroy?

  I think if this person wanted to put in that level of effort, they would have dried their jeans.

• 26:23Travis McElroy?

  Fair enough.

• 26:24Travis McElroy?

  I'm not sure planning is there.

• 26:26Travis McElroy?

  There's no hair dryer? Where you're staying?

• 26:29Travis McElroy?

  I had, I had the hair dry out. Oh my God. Cooper and the, and the kids were throwing water balloons yesterday. And of course that was the only pair of shoes that she has to wear to school and they're soaked. And I was like, it's seven twenty, we gotta leave in like 10 minutes. I was like, it's okay. I'll hit him with the hairdryer. So I, I put the hairdryer into this little kid's shoe and I turned it on full blast.

• 26:54Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 26:55Travis McElroy?

  And the air that came back at me, it was as though I had opened the Ark of the Covenant and my, the layers of flesh. How, it couldn't be that a human child plus heat.

• 27:10Travis McElroy?

  Not one as adorable as your child.

• 27:13Travis McElroy?

  Any human, you know what I mean? I felt like Agent Smith, like.

• 27:16Travis McElroy?

  Like the virus that you people have infected my nostrils.

• 27:22Travis McElroy?

  It's repellent. I, I couldn't look at the kid the same. Like, you know what I mean? Like, there's something wrong in her feet.

• 27:27Travis McElroy?

  It's not her fault that you turned her footwear into a fucking despicable me minion fart gun. That sucks dude. That's mean. That's, I don't want that.

• 27:36Travis McElroy?

  Charlie came over, I said Charlie is the worst thing I've ever experienced. Don't huff this. What'd she do?

• 27:41Travis McElroy?

  Huffed it.

• 27:43Travis McElroy?

  Fucking put her mouth down for a huge snort and then like basically blacked out on her bed for five minutes.

• 27:49Travis McElroy?

  Blacked out in the booth.

• 27:52Travis McElroy?

  Um.

• 27:53Travis McElroy?

  Nightmare.

• 27:54Travis McElroy?

  I. It was like I held my, it was so bad that I held my breath and I could feel it hurting my eyes. Like I could feel it like, ah, I sensed it.

• 28:04Travis McElroy?

  Jokes out of the room, trust me. Bend up a coat, a wide coat hanger, put the shoe on it and bend the other side over the dryer door and close it so that they're suspended in the air inside the dryer and then turn the dryer on. Save yourself.

• 28:19Travis McElroy?

  I use a coat hanger to kinda wedge open the microwave door, uh, and then I put the shoe in there.

• 28:25Travis McElroy?

  Something like that.

• 28:26Travis McElroy?

  And I kinda, and I kinda wedged it so the microwave could work open if you will just like rig it the right way. So that actually could get the shoe.

• 28:33Travis McElroy?

  Pop off the governor and it'll work.

• 28:35Travis McElroy?

  And it gave you Hulk like cancer. So that's cool.

• 28:40Travis McElroy?

  Turbo shoe cancer.

• 28:41Travis McElroy?

  Tell me Travis, this is a glass plate.

• 28:44Travis McElroy?

  Whoa.

• 28:46Griffin McElroy?

  Justin had a commemorative Utz brand glass plate that he just

• 28:49Travis McElroy?

  Collapsed.

• 28:50Griffin McElroy?

  folded. That's crazy. He changed kind of the physical properties of that glass plate.

• 28:55Travis McElroy?

  That's how strong I am.

• 28:57Griffin McElroy?

  I think, I think people, everyone's experienced this. And so that's going to work to your favorite question asker. If we can return to the, if we can return to the question asker for just a moment. I think if you wear the sweatpants to the company retreat, but you carry your messy jeans around with you, you say, hey, guys, just so you know, I, obviously, this is unacceptable. It's not my first choice. I would be wearing these jeans. You hold them up. You say, but they're very wet. Now, you also, on the other hand, have to have the cup of coffee you spilled and say, this is the cup of coffee I spilled. This is not piss. This is not piss pants. I wouldn't show you those. That would be even more inappropriate.

• 29:35Travis McElroy?

  Never, never in all my days.

• 29:36Griffin McElroy?

  Um, but as you can see, this was sort of the chain of events. I'm still, don't look at me different. Just imagine I'm wearing these jeans, but unstained and super dry.

• 29:46Travis McElroy?

  Can you DoorDash pants?

• 29:48Travis McElroy?

  Can you DoorDash pants?

• 29:50Griffin McElroy?

  Absolutely. You can DoorDash pants. You can DoorDash fucking anything, man. You can definitely DoorDash pants.

• 29:55Travis McElroy?

  I have DoorDash pants. I do, I DoorDashed, I DoorDashed a belt. That was embarrassing. Couldn't leave the room to go get a belt, could I? Pants falling down.

• 30:03Griffin McElroy?

  Hmm. Yeah, couldn't find a belt.

• 30:05Travis McElroy?

  Trapped. Trapped with no belt. Can't go buy a belt, pants fall down.

• 30:09Travis McElroy?

  You know what else you need to buy a belt, Justin? Money. You know what money is good for? Maximumfun.org/join, supporting the art and artistry you love.

• 30:19Travis McElroy?

  Perhaps the worst segue I've ever heard.

• 30:21Griffin McElroy?

  Maybe one of the all time stinkers.

• 30:24Travis McElroy?

  I'm out here trying to do my fucking best.

• 30:27Travis McElroy?

  One of the worst, this is that, this is the idea that you

• 30:30Travis McElroy?

  You do it better, king shit.

• 30:32Travis McElroy?

  I will, I will. The idea that my brother would use that as a springboard into asking people to pay him to do it more.

• 30:39Travis McElroy?

  My segue.

• 30:42Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, Travis, it's about awareness. It's about feeling the moment. In this moment, we're bullying you. So I have to build off of that, you see?

• 30:49Travis McElroy?

  And you know, bullying is wrong, but you know what's not wrong? Supporting the art and artists that you love. Hi, I'm Travis McRoy.

• 30:56Travis McElroy?

  Dude, you know what's sad?

• 30:57Travis McElroy?

  Advocating advocate and supporting art advocate.

• 30:59Travis McElroy?

  Sadly, dude, exponentially better than your last pass.

• 31:02Travis McElroy?

  I know, Justin. I fucking knew it as soon as I did it. Okay?

• 31:08Travis McElroy?

  I knew it was wrong.

• 31:10Griffin McElroy?

  Maximumfun.org/join is where you can go.

• 31:13Travis McElroy?

  I'm only a man.

  Maximumfun.org/join is where you can go. We, this is our 15th drive, I believe.

• 31:32Travis McElroy?

  We're better than we've ever been at this.

• 31:34Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, we're the best we've got. Oh God, we're at the height of our fucking.

• 31:37Travis McElroy?

  We're at the height of our powers.

• 31:39Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah. Um, and so now is the time, if you've never, if you've been listening to us for over 15 years, but you've never, uh, you know, thought about becoming a member or contributing, uh, it, this show that you're enjoying exists because we are able to make it our job, our full-time job. We don't have other jobs, just this. It's, and that is because of you. So, um, it's so direct. It is a direct way of, of putting more things out in the world that you, uh, I assume enjoy. Cause we're like 30 minutes into this one. You would have bailed by now if you weren't having an okay time. So please, please, please, uh, don't just assume other people are going to cover, cover your, uh, your fare.

• 32:20Griffin McElroy?

  Maximumfun.org/join is where you can go to help this, help our show and all of our shows. Keep on, keep on going, keep on going.

• 32:29Travis McElroy?

  If you can pledge five bucks a month, then you're going to get, uh, an absolute cornucopia, cognucopia of, uh, bonus content. I mean, hundreds of hours, probably thousands of hours at this point. Um, we talked about the masterclass of Janet Farney that we did in the past. We've also, uh, besides the Margaritaville, we've done, uh, we've riffed videos. We did Pranky Doodle Dandy.

• 32:54Griffin McElroy?

  I think we did Oops All Bits.

• 32:56Travis McElroy?

  We did Oops All Bits. There's a ton of old, uh, episodes. If you haven't heard them before, uh, oh, uh, there's the Taz Lords of Crunch, which is our cereal mascot, uh, episodes that we did.

• 33:06Griffin McElroy?

  Oh yeah. I mean, all of the Charlie verse episodes where, uh, your, your daughter makes a one-shot that is always fully unhinged. That's, that's another Taz Boko.

• 33:15Travis McElroy?

  This year, the Taz Boko is cousin verse because Charlie Cooper, BB Dot and Henry collabed, um, to create a, a, an adventure that I ran.

• 33:28Griffin McElroy?

  A memorable.

• 33:29Travis McElroy?

  For you three. Yeah, man, it was wild.

• 33:31Griffin McElroy?

  One of the more memorable like hours of my life was.

• 33:35Travis McElroy?

  If you can pledge 10 bucks a month, there is a Max Fun Drive exclusive enamel keychain for you designed by Tom Deja. The My Brother, My Brother and Me keychain says my other car is a big, beautiful Buick Enclave. Probably can't do that, but we did it because what are they gonna fucking do?

• 33:55Griffin McElroy?

  They're not gonna see it. Don't show these to see it.

• 33:56Travis McElroy?

  Don't show anybody. Taz has a duper on board.

• 34:01Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, some really strong contenders for your keychain consideration.

• 34:05Travis McElroy?

  Good stuff. And there's a lot more content at 20 bucks a month. There's, there's more gifts, but it's really about like supporting the shows that you enjoy. When you sign up, you tell them which shows you listen to and your pledge is split between those shows. So it's, it's a direct way of supporting the stuff that you like.

• 34:24Travis McElroy?

  And we should say, we have some bonus goals. We do these every year where when we hit certain milestones, we will do these special events. And the first one is I will cover Yellowstone season two on Clubhouse. Taking a real hit.

• 34:41Travis McElroy?

  That's a lot of life hours to trade away.

• 34:43Griffin McElroy?

  So much life hours.

• 34:44Travis McElroy?

  It's a lot.

• 34:45Griffin McElroy?

  I know.

• 34:45Travis McElroy?

  It's a lot.

• 34:46Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 34:47Travis McElroy?

  Although considering what we got at 12K, it's really.

• 34:51Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No spoilers, but we, we've really worked, we really worked really hard this time on all kinds of great stuff waiting for you. We've, we've also been able to do a ton more video content this year. And, and that's because we've been able to hire people. We work with a whole team of folks that we've been able to sort of put together little giant style into a winning podcasting team. And we are able to do that because of you. Please think about supporting us at maximumfun.org/join. We are only doing this for two weeks and I know that there's some people who don't love the drive time, especially our advertisers. We, we, I know you probably think these boys won a prestigious podcast

• 35:34Griffin McElroy?

  advertising award. They must be making payroll just from those and those don't really keep the lights on.

• 35:42Travis McElroy?

  No, we forgot to charge them.

• 35:44Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, it's basically, yeah, it's most of the, the stuff that we're able to do is because of listeners like you. And I really feel like.

• 35:55Griffin McElroy?

  PBS.

• 35:55Travis McElroy?

  It actually really, if you think about it, the fact that we don't rely on advertising revenue as much and yet still try so hard at it is actually better.

• 36:05Travis McElroy?

  This might surprise folks at home. Most advertisers only pay for 60 second spots.

• 36:10Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 36:11Travis McElroy?

  Whoops. Yeah. Also, before we get back to the show, everybody go follow McRoy family on Instagram and you'll get all the updates of like all the streams we're doing over the next two weeks and the bonus goals.

• 36:24Griffin McElroy?

  Every day. We're streaming every day. Yeah. So, so we're working hard for you. We're trying to make a bunch of stuff for you this year. So, so please, one last time, maximumfun.org/join. Thank you so much.

• 36:39Griffin McElroy?

  No fucking way, man. No way, man.

• 36:43Travis McElroy?

  It's a cursed estate haunted 19th century ritual object. A brush that increases desires. Welcome to the haunted doll watch. This time we're going to talk about a cursed estate haunted 19th century ritual object. The brush that increases desires.

• 36:58Travis McElroy?

  How, how both very vague and very specific at the same time?

• 37:03Travis McElroy?

  It's so specific, dude. It's a brush that increases desires. That's the whole object. It is amazing. It is real and I'm going to tell you all about it right now.

• 37:14Travis McElroy?

  They did. I just want to point, they posed this brush for this, uh, for this photo on a mirror that makes it look like a mimic with like teeth that are about to like open up and talk.

• 37:26Griffin McElroy?

  It's scary Travis cursed.

• 37:28Travis McElroy?

  I've got the description in another tab, but I, I just want to show you guys. Hey guys, I increase your desires.

• 37:38Travis McElroy?

  Hey ladies, free brush rides over here.

• 37:44Travis McElroy?

  It's, uh, sucks.

• 37:46Griffin McElroy?

  This boy sucks.

• 37:48Travis McElroy?

  That sucks. I do, I do want to show you guys, if I could, I, I'm not going to go through these, but I do, you need to see how wild this space has gotten.

• 37:56Griffin McElroy?

  The similar items. Okay.

• 37:58Travis McElroy?

  This is like, I'm keeping, I need you to know how haunted doll watch, I am like using maximum restraint in this bit by not making our whole podcast about the, the supernatural world on eBay.

• 38:12Travis McElroy?

  Your Baileys-esque filter, Justin, that only keeps the smallest krill in there?

• 38:17Travis McElroy?

  I know dude.

• 38:18Travis McElroy?

  Incredible.

• 38:19Griffin McElroy?

  Can I read some of these for the people who are not?

• 38:21Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. Can I have the fourth one there, Griffin?

• 38:24Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, you can.

• 38:24Travis McElroy?

  Thank you.

• 38:25Griffin McElroy?

  We got a $100 candle. That's a love spell casting obsession spell, love, magic, ritual, psychic, witchcraft. But I know you're saying, fuck, but I'm trying to fuck now. I need something immediate in a panic. And can I interest you in a $80 ultra obsession, emergency level spell casting, love ritual, Wicca pagan authentic? So this is like-

• 38:46Travis McElroy?

  If you have a nut emergency.

• 38:48Griffin McElroy?

  Right.

• 38:49Travis McElroy?

  I need to nut.

• 38:51Griffin McElroy?

  It's like, I guess they will cast the spell if you buy it. So it's like an instant cameo.

• 38:56Travis McElroy?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 38:58Griffin McElroy?

  Like if they were sitting by, John Leguizamo is like sitting by the phone. It's like ding. And he's like, oh, fuck, here we go. It's like that. And then we also have a demonist spirit companion succubus siren sex spell.

• 39:09Travis McElroy?

  I got a cameo from Richard Schiff for Dwight's birthday.

• 39:12Griffin McElroy?

  No fucking way.

• 39:12Travis McElroy?

  Dude, nine minutes long.

• 39:15Griffin McElroy?

  You're kidding me.

• 39:16Travis McElroy?

  Schiff just watching the Olympics, bullshitting. Unbelievable quality on the Richard Schiff cameo. If you want to get a Richard Schiff cameo, highly recommend. It was just Richard Schiff bullshitting about the Olympics for nine minutes. It was fucking fantastic.

• 39:30Travis McElroy?

  I got, I got Sydney a Dulay Hill one, ones, and he recorded like five minutes just talking about stories of his time on West Wing, his time doing-

• 39:40Travis McElroy?

  Inspiring for her candidacy is unbelievable. Unbelievable hit rate with the West Wing cameos.

• 39:44Travis McElroy?

  The fourth, the fourth item here. Become a real vampire ritual spell casting immortality strength, $40. But then above it, it says almost gone.

• 39:56Travis McElroy?

  Almost gone. They only got one left.

• 39:58Travis McElroy?

  What does that mean for spells?

• 40:01Travis McElroy?

  Strength dominant power.

• 40:02Griffin McElroy?

  Every vampire can only sire 11 other vampires. Well, actually, the number of vampires you can sire depends on your sort of like potency, which is, ain't that just the way of things?

• 40:15Travis McElroy?

  So this brush is $120 or as low as $40.94 a month with Cornell. Thanks for helping me make good financial decisions.

• 40:25Travis McElroy?

  I am the, I am sad to report that some of the haunted doll space has been overrun by AI. So I have to work a little bit harder to find the descriptions that have the real heart and soul to it. So a lot of those that you're seeing with like, it's a spell. I don't care. You know, somebody's generate whatever. So I gotta, I gotta find the real shit.

• 40:43Travis McElroy?

  AI can't cast spells.

• 40:44Travis McElroy?

  A brush that increases desires. Collectors understand containment, controlled environments, minimal handling, emotional distance. Objects like this.

• 40:54Travis McElroy?

  Is this by their ex-wife?

• 40:56Travis McElroy?

  Hey Travis, no, it's obviously in much the same way that you might look at hmm, a toaster. And you see on the back, it says, small metal makes bread hard and hot, right? Item description. This is the item description of the brush that increases desires.

• 41:14Griffin McElroy?

  But the description is all like, too powerful. So toasters don't say like, get so hot, so, so, so, so hot. You must understand, do not fuck around with this.

• 41:24Travis McElroy?

  Toaster owners understand one thing, burning bridges, distancing themselves from anyone who's ever cared about them. Emotional numbness.

• 41:32Travis McElroy?

  Collectors understand containment, controlled environments, minimal handling, emotional distance. Objects like this don't awaken in new spaces. They remain inert until the moment they cross from custody into ownership. The transition is not symbolic, it's cognitive.

• 41:53Travis McElroy?

  What?

• 41:53Travis McElroy?

  Shit.

• 41:54Travis McElroy?

  How is that different?

• 41:55Griffin McElroy?

  I didn't even think about that.

• 41:56Travis McElroy?

  Dude, this 19th century brush was never meant for casual use.

• 42:04Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, man. Even back when it was a brush, even back when it was a brush, you were really supposed to fucking.

• 42:09Travis McElroy?

  Just a brush, just a simple brush. Is, "Children, are you playing with Papa's brushes again?" Not for, no, that's his business brush. That's his business brush. He has important meetings tomorrow with the governor. Justin, that previous statement, I just to jump back real quick. Is that a verbose way of saying, "No, I can't demonstrate it to you right now. It doesn't work till you buy it."

• 42:37Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, dude, you, you literally, listen. Objects handled close to the body repeatedly and privately accumulate association. We've, this is just science.

• 42:49Travis McElroy?

  So every dildo is haunted.

• 42:51Travis McElroy?

  Every dildo is haunted.

• 42:54Griffin McElroy?

  Why did me and Justin both decide to sing that?

• 42:56Travis McElroy?

  That increases desire. That would be a better dildo that increases desire would be better.

• 43:00Travis McElroy?

  That's just normal. It would be weird to have a dildo that decreases desire. And then you're like, you know, on second thought.

• 43:07Travis McElroy?

  Over time.

• 43:08Griffin McElroy?

  This cube shaped Minecraft dildo is decreasing that.

• 43:11Travis McElroy?

  Why did I buy the creeper?

• 43:14Griffin McElroy?

  Why did I buy the creeper? Get out of there creepers.

• 43:16Travis McElroy?

  Over time, this one absorbed what people brought to it. Memory, mood, unresolved thought, use of quiet use. Layered grief over longing, regret over hope, nothing malignant, just incomplete. When it left the collector, the brush didn't change. I did.

• 43:34Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome.

• 43:35Travis McElroy?

  I was open in a way the previous owner never allow themselves to be. The brush didn't add anything to my life.

• 43:44Griffin McElroy?

  Wait.

• 43:45Travis McElroy?

  It accelerated what was already present.

• 43:47Travis McElroy?

  Fuck yeah.

• 43:48Travis McElroy?

  Questions I'd post, questions I'd postpone, emotions I'd learn to bypass efficiently. It shortened the distance between thought and feeling. That is what it offers.

• 44:00Travis McElroy?

  This is the best TED Talk I've ever been to. This is what the brush can bring to your life today.

• 44:07Griffin McElroy?

  I mean, Bupropion is covered under my insurance, but it feels like I could probably cut that out of my resume.

• 44:13Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, you could use your HSA to buy this brush.

• 44:16Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, the brush that increased desires.

• 44:18Travis McElroy?

  The brush that increases desires. How is it with executive function? Does it help with executive function?

• 44:26Travis McElroy?

  The brush doesn't add to your executive function, Trav. It takes what was already there and executes, executes it more. Do you understand? It joins the link, the symbiotic link between executive and function. It makes it shorter, so it's one word.

• 44:41Griffin McElroy?

  I do also take something that makes it so that anxious thoughts have a harder time going from, let's call it the idea factory to, you know, the, the movie screen for the silent witness inside me. I, is this gonna accelerate that? Cause I'm not so wild about that.

• 44:57Travis McElroy?

  Griffin, do you understand that human beings only use 10% of their hairbrush? Right?

• 45:03Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 45:04Travis McElroy?

  The average human being only uses this brush? A hundred percent of the hairbrush is you.

• 45:10Griffin McElroy?

  This looks-

• 45:10Travis McElroy?

  Straight into your brain. When you put it on your head, it goes through the skull into the brain.

• 45:16Griffin McElroy?

  That's, that's, okay, that would change you, I guess. I'm just now kinda looking at this cursed estate haunted 19th century ritual object brush that increases desires. And just so that, I, I really hadn't paid much attention to the layout of the bristles on here. And this does look like a brush for horses. This does look like a brush for horses, a horse's brush. It has a push broom like consistency to the bristle.

• 45:38Travis McElroy?

  It does, it's very, very beautiful. I do feel like I should buy the brush that increases desire. Cause I've said it so many times that I'm desiring it now.

• 45:47Griffin McElroy?

  You do need to be careful, cause if you buy this, you will start buying more stuff. Your desire will be so increased.

• 45:52Travis McElroy?

  This is, okay, once the brush enters your space, certain effects are common. Now, the first one that says is smoother hair, which I don't think you get any points for that. Like, is that just regular brush stuff?

• 46:04Travis McElroy?

  Wait, so it's supposed to be used for casual use?

• 46:07Travis McElroy?

  No, you just said- No, that, I made that one up. Oh, once the brush enters your space, certain effects are common. Thoughts feel fully formed, as if they arrive without preamble.

• 46:17Travis McElroy?

  Like the thought, shit, I wasted a hundred and twenty dollars on this brush.

• 46:21Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, no, no.

• 46:22Travis McElroy?

  Memories-

• 46:22Travis McElroy?

  How do I tell my wife that I bought a hundred and twenty dollars?

• 46:26Griffin McElroy?

  I told Deborah, I never would do it again, shit, she's gonna know.

• 46:29Travis McElroy?

  Memories surface without clear triggers.

• 46:32Travis McElroy?

  I remember the last time I bought a curse brush. Oh, no.

• 46:36Travis McElroy?

  Can I vote no on that one? Can I just not have that one? I'd rather not experience that. I got a good, like, I got a pretty good ladle of memory surfacing without clear triggers. Thank you.

• 46:45Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. I've heard pretty hard to forget a lot of shit.

• 46:48Travis McElroy?

  This was good. This is my favorite. Emotional timing slips and you react faster or later than expected.

• 46:54Travis McElroy?

  Awesome. But not accurately. That's the thing.

• 46:57Travis McElroy?

  Not accurately. You will be way more angry or way more sad than the situation demands.

• 47:02Travis McElroy?

  Faster or slower. So something will happen and you'll react before it. Or ten minutes later, but not right when it happens.

• 47:10Travis McElroy?

  If you've ever seen me say, oh, God, the plate. Just like, pay attention.

• 47:15Travis McElroy?

  Start watching for plates.

• 47:17Travis McElroy?

  Start watching for plates.

• 47:18Griffin McElroy?

  You're out at Fazoli's with your family and you just, fuck. And they're like, what? You're like, hold on, let me think. Um, shit, I did stub my toe earlier today, but this feels excessive for that.

• 47:28Travis McElroy?

  Lastly, reflective surfaces become difficult to ignore.

• 47:34Griffin McElroy?

  That's so awesome.

• 47:36Travis McElroy?

  None of this is dramatic. That's the problem. The brush, the brush speeds up recognition faster than the mind prefers. Like noticing too much at once without the buffer of narrative.

• 47:53Travis McElroy?

  What? Antique grooming tools are intimately by design. They're handled close to the face, used repetitively, associated with preparation and self-presentation. They sit at the threshold between private thought and public appearance. So a new owner inevitably does.

• 48:11Travis McElroy?

  Write a fucking book. Get off, get off of eBay and write a book, my friend. I want to read it so bad.

• 48:18Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 48:19Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 48:19Griffin McElroy?

  I want to, yeah. I want more extremely sort of Jungian sort of philosophical haunted doll watches. I'm really excited about this, this new horizon.

• 48:30Travis McElroy?

  I have been letting this person dictate the pace of my delivery with their paragraph breaks, and I'm no longer going to do that. Okay, guys? So if you want to stop me from this point on, you're going to need two hands. Okay?

• 48:41Griffin McElroy?

  All right. Hit it.

• 48:45Travis McElroy?

  A new owner inevitably does three things. It pays attention to the object, assigns its significance, and incorporates it into routine. From there, cognition takes over. Repetition plus emotional load gives any object psychological gravity. Attention is what?

• 49:01Travis McElroy?

  Key.

• 49:02Travis McElroy?

  Using the brush during emotional stress, treating it as meaningful or exceptional, keeping it near fragile or valued items, attributing outcomes to it. These behaviors create feedback loops. Language like it wants.

• 49:15Travis McElroy?

  It's also how you take care of a giga pet.

• 49:18Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. It wants, it reacts. It externalizes internal states, making them feel sourced elsewhere. The object doesn't act. The meaning remains active.

• 49:29Travis McElroy?

  Uh huh. Shit dude.

• 49:32Travis McElroy?

  Brush favors continuity. The brush favors continuity. It has outlasted many owners who believe possession implied control. What it actually relies on is?

• 49:42Travis McElroy?

  Love.

• 49:44Travis McElroy?

  Consistency.

• 49:44Travis McElroy?

  Oh.

• 49:45Travis McElroy?

  Over decades, it has absorbed not vanity, but fracture. Unresolved decisions. Stalled conversation. Alternate versions of people that never fully emerged. These don't disappear, they compress. The brush becomes dense with unused selves.

• 50:02Travis McElroy?

  What? Fucking hell, man. Everything, everywhere, all at brush.

• 50:07Travis McElroy?

  It's the brush that increases desire.

• 50:09Travis McElroy?

  We love this brush.

• 50:10Travis McElroy?

  First night with a new owner, always an adjustment. The mind maps it into the environment.

• 50:15Travis McElroy?

  Don't let the brush sleep in your bed. It's gonna want to, but once you let it do what it wants, it's never gonna sleep in it.

• 50:21Travis McElroy?

  Give a brush a cookie. If you have a pool house like Ryan had in the OC, that would be actually better.

• 50:26Travis McElroy?

  That would be ideal. And then it can have its own space, which is nice.

• 50:30Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, it might be a heightened sense of presence, not because anyone is watching, but because the owner is.

• 50:35Travis McElroy?

  What?

• 50:37Travis McElroy?

  Subtle behaviors become noticeable. Delays before responding.

• 50:41Travis McElroy?

  Okay.

• 50:42Travis McElroy?

  Tonal shifts mid-sentence. Pauses.

• 50:46Travis McElroy?

  Before mirrors, because you can't ignore.

• 50:49Griffin McElroy?

  You can't stop looking at yourself.

• 50:50Travis McElroy?

  The reflective.

• 50:51Griffin McElroy?

  Do I own this brush?

• 50:54Travis McElroy?

  The brush functions like a prompt the brain can't control.

• 50:57Griffin McElroy?

  Uh huh.

• 50:57Travis McElroy?

  It's ADHD.

• 50:58Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 50:59Travis McElroy?

  What they're describing, I'm realizing now.

• 51:01Griffin McElroy?

  It is the ADHD brush.

• 51:02Travis McElroy?

  You're gonna speak.

• 51:03Griffin McElroy?

  Brush that gives you ADHD.

• 51:05Travis McElroy?

  You're gonna speak before you think. You're gonna become distracted by reflective services. You're gonna react to things maybe, uh, long after they happen. You're gonna have a big emotional response to little things. You're gonna maybe forget what you were doing in the middle of it.

• 51:20Griffin McElroy?

  Play like 6,000 hours of Stardew Valley.

• 51:23Travis McElroy?

  You're gonna start emptying the dishwasher, but you're gonna end power washing the sidewalk.

• 51:28Griffin McElroy?

  The most frequently heard phrase you're gonna hear in your day to day life is now, wait, is this a dream you had or a supernatural episode?

• 51:37Griffin McElroy?

  Don't give him ideas for games, Justin. You'll throw off the, the rhythm of these bits. It's been so long since we've done a haunted doll watch on the show. I do just wanna make space for the observation that the apologetics game has gotten like so much stronger. Cause it just used to be that they would say like, here's a haunted doll. If it doesn't move for you, then sometimes spirits are shy. Just keep waiting. And in this one, it's like, there is no magic. There is no spirit. There is no god. It's inside the mind and that is the god. The god's inside your mind and cognition is, attention is essential for these dolls in your mind, I.

• 52:13Travis McElroy?

  Another way of putting that Griffin is, old conversations will replay, not as regret, but as unfinished business. Memories resurface not for nostalgia, but for correction. You may feel a low level urge to reach out, clarify, amend, resolve things no one else remembers clearly anymore. This is not conflict creation. It's continuity restoration.

• 52:38Griffin McElroy?

  Is this brush being sold by the narrator from Stanley Parable?

• 52:42Travis McElroy?

  This brush is not being sold because I have purchased it, but I understand the question. At night, there can be a bodily sensation, a pressure.

• 52:51Griffin McElroy?

  Remember at maximum fun.

• 52:52Travis McElroy?

  Maximumfun.com slash joy.

• 52:53Griffin McElroy?

  We're, I promise we're using our money in essential ways for the, for the business.

• 52:58Travis McElroy?

  You know what I am gonna do? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna fucking raffle it off. Someone will be the lucky recipient of the brush that increases desire. It's on the line. I have ordered it. I've bought it. Hey, hey, hey, I can't, uh, I can't talk long. Sorry, I'm on the road or the run. I'm on the road or the run, however you want to say it, but the brush arrived and I just wanted to say super quick update on this, cancel this. I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna keep the brush. I think it's better if I have it and I don't think anybody should have it. Now that I have the brush and see it, I feel like it's better for I, I will keep it. I can't even read the listing anymore. I fucked it. I cannot believe, guys, just let me power through the rest of this. I'm almost done.

• 53:42Griffin McElroy?

  You're kidding me.

• 53:44Travis McElroy?

  I promise. Relationships may feel heavier, conversations run longer, silence gains texture.

• 53:53Travis McElroy?

  Some people lean in, mistaking the wait for depth. Others withdraw, unsettled by how much feels unfinished. Some people can't fucking handle the brush.

• 54:02Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 54:03Travis McElroy?

  Some people may be like, wait, is this a brush conversation or is this a regular conversation? If this is more of your brush shit?

• 54:10Griffin McElroy?

  Mark, listen, I'm, I love you and I'm excited for this new chapter in your life, but like, you need to give me a heads up if it's a brush talk or not because brush talks are exhausting. I don't have brush. You are the only one with the brush. So like, I'm off kilter. There's not, there's an imbalance here whenever we have a brush talk.

• 54:26Travis McElroy?

  Is there a signal you can give me when a pause is a normal pause and when it's a brush pause, please?

• 54:31Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 54:32Travis McElroy?

  Something, just like hold one finger up if it's a normal pause, two fingers up if it's a brush pause. The brush benefits from relational strain because strain generates reflection.

• 54:44Griffin McElroy?

  Wow.

• 54:45Travis McElroy?

  And you can't ignore reflection. We've established that. You can't. It's settled. Reflection is strain leaving the body. The brush encourages repeated use. Baby, it's not me. I want, I didn't want to cheat on you. Brush wanted me to cheat on you.

• 55:03Griffin McElroy?

  Brush needed this for us.

• 55:06Travis McElroy?

  Do you understand, baby? Brush wants us to grow, babe.

• 55:11Travis McElroy?

  It's not, I love brush. There, I said it.

• 55:14Travis McElroy?

  The brush encourages repeated use, not for grooming, for alignment.

• 55:19Travis McElroy?

  You shouldn't use this old ass brush. It's probably gross.

• 55:21Griffin McElroy?

  Use this old ass brush, but it wants you to use it as like a foam roller, it sounds like.

• 55:26Travis McElroy?

  Owners report an impulse to brush slowly, deliberately, while thinking of different versions of themselves. The one who stayed, the one who left, the one who almost spoke, the one who learned to manage instead of confess. The act becomes a sort of sorting behavior, a rehearsal of cohesion. Once those versions begin to feel adjacent, instead of contradictory, resistance decreases. That's the inflection point.

• 55:54Travis McElroy?

  Oh, wait, there's a little bit of smudge on my, see it. It actually says, the brush that increases depression.

• 56:01Griffin McElroy?

  That's crazy.

• 56:02Travis McElroy?

  Continuity requires participation. Without it, the object loses specificity. Details blur. The way feels wrong in the hand. Objects like this are rarely discarded, not because they're dangerous, but because they feel unfinished.

• 56:14Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 56:15Travis McElroy?

  They wait until someone needs integration badly enough to tolerate discomfort. The brush reflects a simple truth humans often avoid. Everyone fractures. Eventually, someone decides coherence matters more than comfort. And they accept the cost.

• 56:36Travis McElroy?

  I've never, this is, if, is a manosphere influencer selling a haunted brush on eBay?

• 56:45Griffin McElroy?

  This, this seems awfully, I'll be honest, a little brainy, Trav, for the, for that particular sphere.

• 56:52Travis McElroy?

  Let the brush break you down so it can build you back up better than ever.

• 56:57Travis McElroy?

  I want to say one thing to you guys. This person is, okay, can you just hear me out for a second?

• 57:02Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah, please.

• 57:03Travis McElroy?

  Now that we've gotten to the end of the listing, for cursed estate object, 19th century ritual object, the brush that increases desires.

• 57:10Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 57:11Travis McElroy?

  A just, a Justin McElroy possession.

• 57:16Travis McElroy?

  Based on the novel, push my sound.

• 57:21Travis McElroy?

  Justin McRae investment, please.

• 57:24Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, please.

• 57:25Travis McElroy?

  That what I, I, you know, that person spent a lot of, maybe like that listing was like way better than it needed to be at all, right? It was like really good. And I think it stands to reason that the only kind of way you could justify spending that much time writing a dope listing for your eBay brush is that maybe that's really easy for you to do now.

• 57:50Griffin McElroy?

  Uh huh.

• 57:51Travis McElroy?

  Because the brush that you've been using, you know what I'm saying? Like maybe the listing is proof, the proof is in the listing that this is functioning as intended.

• 58:01Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, so why are they getting rid of it?

• 58:03Travis McElroy?

  Cause they're done. They're tired of being insufferable, probably.

• 58:07Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 58:08Travis McElroy?

  You know what I mean? Like it sounds like.

• 58:09Griffin McElroy?

  I want to go back to being stupid. This sucks. This sucks. My thoughts are too fast, shoot.

• 58:15Travis McElroy?

  I'll tell you, more updates as they become available, it will temporarily be adjusted macro possession until some lucky person takes it home and increases their desires.

• 58:27Speaker 04

  No again, again, the brush is his houses, the brush is his houses and it's staying right there.

• 58:33Travis McElroy?

  Hey, so I want to do a sincere moment here. Uh, we have been doing this, as Griffin said, for 15 years, uh, started in 2010. This is our 15th drive. Uh, our lives have been very much shaped, uh, and improved by being on Max Fun and from your support and we have, uh, really worked to kind of live up to that, uh, adding new things, trying to keep in mind what our supporters would, would like us to do and that kind of thing, because I think it's a very symbiotic relationship and like we've been doing more

• 59:14Travis McElroy?

  streams, we've been, uh, posting, you know, video clips from the shows, um, trying to be more active in everything that we do because it means a lot to us and it means a lot to you. And every year when we do Max Fun Drive, it's the thing that I think we all kind of. Very buoyed by, I would say. Now, Justin's clicked on the succubus.

• 59:38Griffin McElroy?

  Stop it, Justin.

• 59:39Travis McElroy?

  Justin, I'm trying to be sincere.

• 59:42Griffin McElroy?

  He's trying to be sincere and you're ogling at the vampire sex spell. Get that out of my screen, Juice.

• 59:48Travis McElroy?

  We don't need, we don't need them. Guys, look, we don't need them. For $299, you can make a demonic pact with Lucifer. We're wasting our time with the listeners. The brush is already acting on Justin.

• 59:59Griffin McElroy?

  Maximumfun.org/join. We need at least $300 to make a pact with Lucifer.

• 1:00:04Travis McElroy?

  $350, there's a 12-month protection spell. I need guys to protect me from the brush.

• 1:00:09Travis McElroy?

  Then it's gotta be $650 so we make the deal with Lucifer and get a protection spell to cancel out the deal we made with Lucifer.

• 1:00:15Griffin McElroy?

  Okay, so we need at least $650. Maximumfun.org/join. You can help get us over our goal of $650. You might be the one we need. Close that window, Justin. There's too many erotic things and I don't want... Thank you so much.

• 1:00:31Travis McElroy?

  You're welcome. There's lots of great stuff there. Lots of rewards. $5, $10, $20. We mentioned the hundreds of hours of bonus content for just $5 a month. $10 a month, the enamel keychains. $20 a month, you get all that stuff. Plus, a good, clean, fun toiletry bag or embroidered rocket visor. $35 a month, insulated stainless steel water bottle. All kinds of stuff. $50, $100, $200, all the way up. You can check them all out.

• 1:01:00Travis McElroy?

  You're just saying large amounts of money.

• 1:01:02Griffin McElroy?

  $650.

• 1:01:06Travis McElroy?

  I'm bringing it up because the other thing that you can do if you are already a member is to consider upping your donation to the next level or boosting slightly between levels if you're not ready to move up to the next level. Every bit of support helps and matters to us. Whether you become a $5 a month donor or a $200 a month donor, it all matters. All of it adds up. So if you've been a member for a while and you want to up your membership, maybe you've been listening to more shows on Max Fun this year than you were previously and you want to reflect that in your membership, you can upgrade or boost by also going to maximumfun.org/join.

• 1:01:46Travis McElroy?

  That's also where you can see all the reward levels, all of the membership levels, everything that you can do to support the shows.

• 1:01:54Travis McElroy?

  Get the brush and increase his desire.

• 1:01:57Speaker 04

  No, no foolish boy. The blushes is ours. Remember the blushes is ours. It's staying right here though.

• 1:02:03Travis McElroy?

  And at 3,000 new and upgrading donors Travis is gonna do that Yellowstone season two summary on Clubhouse. And I

• 1:02:11Travis McElroy?

  Watch the death count grow.

• 1:02:12Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:13Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:14Griffin McElroy?

  This network is unlike any other entertainment property that exists in the world.

• 1:02:21Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:22Griffin McElroy?

  We've been doing this a long time and we've seen how lots of other places do it and I would not want to be anywhere else. Maximum Fun has a truly one of a kind community. It is, it is co-op, it is employee owned. It is, it's special in so many ways. And if you, if you like this show, then you can keep it going and help us, help us just keep, keep doing our thing, keep making more stuff for you. Cause that's sort of the Max Fun model. And when you support it, you're saying that that way of doing things is good. And I would firmly agree with that.

  And the drive

• 1:02:59Griffin McElroy?

  Please think about helping us out.

• 1:03:00Travis McElroy?

  The drive only goes two weeks. So if you are thinking about doing it, if you're ready to do it, go do it now. Maximumfun.org/join. Don't wait, cause then you'll forget and you'll miss out on your chance to be part of all the energy and the rewards. The rewards are the best part.

• 1:03:14Griffin McElroy?

  Go to maximumfun.org/join now. Before you forget, but choose whatever level works for you within your budget. Five bucks a month ain't a ton of cash. It's the price of a cup of coffee, maybe.

• 1:03:24Travis McElroy?

  In this economy?

• 1:03:25Griffin McElroy?

  In the world, but in this economy, it's, I mean, I will say it's about a gallon of gas. So that's fucking wild. Thank you all so, so, so much.

• 1:03:34Travis McElroy?

  Donate now. Does anybody want to throw something?

• 1:03:37Travis McElroy?

  I do want to throw something. I also wanted to mention, and it's a weird sync up with also doing Max Fund Drive. But I'm going to be at the No Theater this Friday. We're doing a fundraiser for the No, it's a casino night. I'm going to be there dealing blackjack and hosting a live auction, which includes a Champions Grove attendance package. It's one of the auction items. If you go to notheater.com, you can get the tickets for Casino Night here in Cincinnati. Come hang out with me. Support a great theater. It's going to be super fun. And I organized the whole fundraiser. So I'd really appreciate you coming to show them that I did a good job. I have my ADHD detective pipe. Oh, good.

• 1:04:20Griffin McElroy?

  I got a Yoshi, I got Yoshi.

• 1:04:22Travis McElroy?

  What if we did simultaneous throws?

• 1:04:24Griffin McElroy?

  No, no, I think it's a two, two parties bring a throwable and the other party has to...

• 1:04:29Travis McElroy?

  I want, uh, Griffin to throw the Yoshi.

• 1:04:31Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:32Travis McElroy?

  Just because I, I'm worried about Travis breaking his pipe.

• 1:04:33Griffin McElroy?

  That's fair. Okay, BRB.

• 1:04:37Travis McElroy?

  Three, two, one.

• 1:04:41Travis McElroy?

  Yoshi made a pretty good noise. It's a really good noise. That was a good, Yoshi made a great noise, Griffin.

• 1:04:47Griffin McElroy?

  Did it get in frame? Did I get it in frame?

• 1:04:48Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, you nailed it, man. That was great.

• 1:04:50Griffin McElroy?

  I had, the, the little mountain behind me really helps. It's like a good target.

• 1:04:53Travis McElroy?

  Huge targeting. My name's Justin McElroy.
