  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?

• 0:19Speaker 01

  One, two, three, four. It's the start of something beautiful. A small acquaintance has blossomed, it's rapid into a precious friendship. I could have never seen what was coming for me. Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach. My life, it feels like. Life, ah, it's better, it's better with you. My life, ah, it's better, it's better with you. This is true, ah, it's better, it's better with you.

• 1:03Speaker 01

  My life, ah, it's better with you.

• 1:10Travis McElroy?

  Hello, everybody, and welcome to My Brother, My Brother and Me. It's an advice show from the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy.

• 1:19Travis McElroy?

  What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, your middlest brother, Travis Big Dog, Wolf, Wolf, Vroom, Vroom, award-winning The Heater McElroy.

• 1:24Griffin McElroy?

  What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, your sweet baby brother, 30 Under 30 Media Luminary, Griffin McElroy. Well.

• 1:31Travis McElroy?

  Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.

• 1:34Griffin McElroy?

  Guys, I thought we were past this. I thought for sure we were never gonna return to this particular well. But get out the binoculars. Get out the air.

• 1:44Travis McElroy?

  Who do we see there, Griffin?

• 1:45Griffin McElroy?

  Get out the.

• 1:45Travis McElroy?

  Who is it?

• 1:46Griffin McElroy?

  Get out the air rifles.

• 1:48Travis McElroy?

  I think my pure imagination's playing tricks on me, Griff.

• 1:50Griffin McElroy?

  No, it's not Tim Chalamet. He's busy fucking up. No, but we are on a Wonka watch. And it's a, guys, this is a level five Wonka watch. I'm talking red alert, all hands on deck.

• 2:04Travis McElroy?

  What is the, what's the situation we find ourselves in Wonka-wise, guys? What's happening in the world of Wonka?

• 2:09Travis McElroy?

  Wonka-wise?

• 2:10Travis McElroy?

  Well, I know this because I've had this show bookmarked with a red alert emergency updater on this Netflix series the moment it's live, so.

• 2:23Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah. So, I mean, we're talking about Wonka, the golden ticket.

• 2:26Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, and I want to send a big, a big thank you here, because I had not heard about this, because Justin was apparently gatekeeping it, but Nell sent this, and this is how I learned about it and wanted to talk about it, sent it to our email. Good shout, good shout, Nell.

• 2:44Griffin McElroy?

  Good shout, Nell, good looking out.

• 2:46Travis McElroy?

  Netflix, reality show.

• 2:48Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 2:48Travis McElroy?

  Wonka. Now, here's the thing. The prize, and this is maybe a little off message for the Wonka movies, but it's a lifetime supply of money.

• 3:01Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 3:02Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, a lifetime supply of money.

• 3:06Griffin McElroy?

  That would be.

• 3:07Travis McElroy?

  Sounds good, no?

• 3:08Griffin McElroy?

  It'd be cool, yeah, man, like, like, like, a hundred dollars a day? Like, how much money? Is it a stipend? Are they gonna keep a budget for me and check in periodically to be like, hey, Griffin, you've used up this month's supply of money? Because I already have people who do that to me, for me.

• 3:26Travis McElroy?

  Are there cost of living increases over, like, over the, every five years?

• 3:32Griffin McElroy?

  Is Mr. Wonka going to budget inflation into the accounting? I don't know. Is it as whimsical as a lifetime supply of chocolate?

• 3:41Travis McElroy?

  By the way, in this series, Wonka is not depicted, sadly. You do hear, I would say, Gene Milder, kind of a simulcrum of Gene trying to.

• 3:54Griffin McElroy?

  Gene A. Ilder is who it is. It's his voice been fed in machines, and apparently.

• 4:00Travis McElroy?

  Are you sure?

• 4:01Griffin McElroy?

  A hundred percent sure, yeah, because his estate was like, fucking go for it, dudes. By the way, bros, let me just, let's get an affidavit signed between the three of us now to never, ever give permission to anyone to resurrect us.

• 4:13Travis McElroy?

  This is my, this is my living will.

• 4:15Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 4:15Travis McElroy?

  This episode, no matter what documents you may find, put it up in court. Judge, it's me for the past. Don't. No AI, okay?

• 4:24Griffin McElroy?

  Please, please, please.

• 4:25Travis McElroy?

  You can't.

• 4:26Griffin McElroy?

  But yeah, he's putting them through the rigors of factory ownership, and, you know, they're doing all the challenges from the movie. Get big and get big and swollen with juice.

• 4:36Travis McElroy?

  Lick the walls.

• 4:37Griffin McElroy?

  Lick the walls, you dirty fucking adult. Oh, by the way, it's all adults, we should say that, so that I can say things like, lick the walls, you dirty dogs. And it's okay, because everybody's in their 30s to, it appears 70s, which makes sense, because that's when the movie came out.

• 4:51Travis McElroy?

  It's been a while since I watched the Gene Milder Wonka movie, by which I mean, like, last week. I watch it constantly.

• 4:58Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 4:58Travis McElroy?

  Um, to keep my morals in line. But I don't remember in that movie, when they lick the walls, them coming away with messy, dirty faces.

• 5:08Griffin McElroy?

  So they did some stuff to the Wonka walls on this one, where they lick the walls, and then it turns their faces nasty and gooey and blue. And that would be another, I guess, upgrade to the original film, as if everybody just had yucky, messy faces for the majority of the motion picture. Just got nastier, nastier, nastier.

• 5:26Travis McElroy?

  This might be clever trailer editing, but there is a moment in the trailer where it's like, how am I going to play the rest of the game with them after this? And I imagine that that particular soundbite was not hard to find.

• 5:40Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 5:40Travis McElroy?

  From what I've seen of the challenges presented.

• 5:42Griffin McElroy?

  They're licking the nasty walls like a dog. How can I look them in the eyes in the morning?

• 5:46Travis McElroy?

  The, uh, the comments on the trailer are pretty soundly negative, I would say. Uh, some rough, some rough stuff, uh, rough stuff here. One comment is, I'm so glad Roald Dahl doesn't have to see this. And that wasn't my first response.

• 6:03Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, Roald Dahl is not the victim. I sort of was.

• 6:06Travis McElroy?

  Our beloved anti-Semitic Roald Dahl can spin in it for all I care.

• 6:10Travis McElroy?

  Also, from what I understand, I've, I've done some research on the old Wonka movie. I would say made in spite of him.

• 6:17Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, Roald Dahl's never loved anything anyone's ever made of his shit. And now he's dead, so he never will.

• 6:22Travis McElroy?

  They tagged him in to write the script. He basically handed them the book that he had typed out like a script, and they said, no, there you go. Can you make changes? And he said, fuck, no.

• 6:31Griffin McElroy?

  I watch a lot of reality TV, even a lot of Netflix's not super duper real reality puerile offerings. I think we have long since passed the point, but let this serve as a stark kind of like checkpoint in the conversation, where we can refer to this as a social experiment. Let's, let's, I want to know Netflix scientists, sociologists, what are we testing here? What possible facets of the human condition are we measuring with Wonka, the golden ticket reality competition show?

• 7:12Travis McElroy?

  Well, one episode is just all burps. It's who can burp hardest on command the most, because they're flying up in the, this, they've got a thing, oh, it's a harness, and they're being lifted up towards death. And they have to burp to go down. Uh, another comment here says the snozberries taste like norovirus.

• 7:30Griffin McElroy?

  That's very good.

• 7:31Travis McElroy?

  It's an excellent, good work, everybody.

• 7:33Travis McElroy?

  Now, one person's complaining here that it's all adults, because that was the whole point of the entire thing, is that an adult couldn't win.

• 7:41Griffin McElroy?

  What's a child gonna do with a lifetime supply of money? Also, that's way more money. If you.

• 7:46Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, tastes forever. They're crossing their fingers for the old guy. Man, I hope he wins.

• 7:51Griffin McElroy?

  There's old ass people on this show. You know Netflix is pulling like, Jerry, god damn it, you gotta pull it together. Hydrate, Jerry, fuck.

• 7:57Travis McElroy?

  Man, you got this. You wanna go to, you go on to go to sandals, don't you?

• 8:02Travis McElroy?

  The show isn't out yet, so I don't know. They might have done this, but if I was the producer on this, I would have included one really, like, cherubic, like, sweet, like, 14-year-old boy.

• 8:15Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 8:15Travis McElroy?

  Who does not participate in the challenges, but rather talks about, like, the goodness of the human soul while everyone else is doing it.

• 8:22Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 8:23Travis McElroy?

  And see how long it takes for the other contestants to be like, fuck, he's gonna win, isn't he?

• 8:26Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 8:27Travis McElroy?

  Like, no matter what I do.

• 8:29Griffin McElroy?

  And how are they gonna?

• 8:30Travis McElroy?

  That would have been good, Travis, to have one really sweet contestant that everybody's like, oh, yeah.

• 8:35Griffin McElroy?

  Fuck.

• 8:35Travis McElroy?

  Okay.

• 8:36Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, it's him, isn't it?

• 8:37Griffin McElroy?

  They don't even obliterate them at an atomic level and teleport them across the screen in a small size.

• 8:43Travis McElroy?

  They might. It hadn't premiered yet. They could kill them. That's what happened in Squid Game.

• 8:47Griffin McElroy?

  They're not gonna, they're absolutely not gonna fucking kill them. I know one thing.

• 8:50Travis McElroy?

  They might inflate them and squish them. I mean, they don't kill them in, they don't kill them in the book, do you think?

• 8:56Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, yeah.

• 8:56Travis McElroy?

  The Oompa Loompas are still in effect. They are the, I guess, hosts. They're, they're the ones who are leading people around the factory here.

• 9:06Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 9:07Travis McElroy?

  There is one prime moment where the actor playing an Oompa Loompa in the trailer gives a look to the camera that could be taken as, like, playful, but I take it as, like, yeah, I know.

• 9:18Griffin McElroy?

  I know, man.

• 9:19Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah, this is, fuck, man.

• 9:20Griffin McElroy?

  He looks, and he shrugs, and he communicates.

• 9:22Travis McElroy?

  Your calendar's not broken. It is 2026.

• 9:24Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, I know.

• 9:25Griffin McElroy?

  He communicates a lot with that look, because what I got from it was like, hey, at least it's not Hugh Grant on a green screen.

• 9:32Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 9:32Griffin McElroy?

  Okay, yeah, I guess that's, I guess, yeah, in some ways, I guess it's better than Hugh Grant on a green screen.

• 9:38Travis McElroy?

  In many ways.

• 9:39Travis McElroy?

  Okay, guys, watch the trailer again, and then imagine that Netflix is just trying to cover all of its fetish bases at once.

• 9:49Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 9:49Travis McElroy?

  Because goddamn, dude, every shot in this is like licking a wall, biting something huge. Oh, he's licking something else. Oh, he's popping a big balloon. The balloon's so big, how will I ever handle it?

• 10:01Travis McElroy?

  Buddy, there's some bondage elements in there as well.

• 10:04Travis McElroy?

  There are. This is awesome. Every shot in it is a different.

• 10:08Griffin McElroy?

  Welcome to Netflix's.

• 10:10Travis McElroy?

  That's a hook.

• 10:10Griffin McElroy?

  Willie Wonka Golden Ticket.

• 10:13Travis McElroy?

  We're exploring your darkest sexual.

• 10:14Travis McElroy?

  Actual imagination.

• 10:17Griffin McElroy?

  We got all those too hot to handle degenerates in here. You're gonna watch them get super sloppy double there.

• 10:23Travis McElroy?

  The best part is watching all the contestants. Let's say feign childlike wonder at what they're seeing. Well, it's all real.

• 10:33Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, I mean, they do that. I imagine the tenor of the show changes once they find out they get infinite money as a prize. I have to. Now, that's a good social experiment. Is what will someone do for infinite money? Cause that seems to be like what we're offering here. I feel like we're gonna lose sight of the whimsical candy nature of the show very quickly. And people are going to get very, very desperate Battle Royale style, Squid Game style, very, very quickly.

• 10:57Travis McElroy?

  They get excited about eating candy under hot studio lighting, very like they're eagerly gumming it down.

• 11:05Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 11:06Travis McElroy?

  Where it's like, okay, but it's not a fantastical, magical, or this is still our world. And the cat, the crew set this up perhaps weeks in advance.

• 11:16Griffin McElroy?

  Hey, I won't let you shit talk the production of the show. It looks fucking fantastic.

• 11:20Travis McElroy?

  Do you think they used the, the factory Mr. Beast built? Just like, let's just reuse Mr. Beast's Wonka factory.

• 11:27Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 11:28Travis McElroy?

  Um, he did that. If you didn't know.

• 11:31Travis McElroy?

  Of course he did.

• 11:31Travis McElroy?

  Hey, this is an advice show. My advice is this actually went live today, guys. I know the email said the 30th, but it is, maybe that's in different territories, but it is live today, so we'll have to check it out.

• 11:43Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

• 11:45Travis McElroy?

  You know us and our follow through.

• 11:47Travis McElroy?

  Well, my, my follow through is to wait two years and then watch a 25 minute recap video on YouTube.

• 11:53Griffin McElroy?

  Just as good.

• 11:54Travis McElroy?

  Everything that happened.

• 11:55Griffin McElroy?

  Just as good. That's probably for the best. Travis, Netflix reality shows throw confessionals at you with concussive force and frequency. It's really, really tough. It's a rough ride.

• 12:05Travis McElroy?

  Um, I am a new middle school teacher and I've been teaching preschool for the last decade. I'm loving the switch and genuinely really enjoy being around these kids.

• 12:15Travis McElroy?

  Steam deck, but.

• 12:17Griffin McElroy?

  Yikes.

• 12:19Travis McElroy?

  However, I experienced my first. Fight today. And upon reflection and being made fun of by group eighth graders, it turns out I react to fights like Winnie the Pooh. With a whole lot of, oh dear, and oh gracious. What's a cool hip way? I can break up a fight between 12 year olds without looking like a moron or stepping in the middle. I don't get paid enough to be beaten up by 12 year olds. That's from an 87 year old in a 34 year old's body in North Georgia. Would you like to join us for Willy Wonka's?

• 12:49Travis McElroy?

  If you can promise your body will give out.

• 12:52Griffin McElroy?

  No, you need to be better at breaking up fights in order to go into Willy Wonka's, the golden ticket. Cause there's gonna be, it's got, guys, it's gonna devolve into just melee combat.

• 13:01Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, well, somewhat, one of the challenges is you have to recapture the Oompa Loompas who've been trying to flee ever since Willy Wonka died. And was replaced by an AI. He just talks through speakers, by the way, in case you're curious how they do this.

• 13:13Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 13:13Travis McElroy?

  Just as magical and charming as ever.

• 13:16Travis McElroy?

  Just like Gene would have wanted.

• 13:18Griffin McElroy?

  I think for this, it's a tricky situation. We're talking about kids and we're talking about. A very, very high stakes, high intensity situation. This is not gonna be helpful, but for me, I think an ounce of prevention. You gotta be, you gotta stop fights before they start. You gotta always have your finger on the pulse of where the beef is, who is beefing? And then do your best to untangle those knots before they, before they break. Maybe you have a little. Maybe every day you write on the chalkboard, no fights.

• 13:49Travis McElroy?

  Oh. See, I was gonna go with a network of little sparrows bringing you information, but.

• 13:54Griffin McElroy?

  That could be cool too. That could be cool too. If you can act on, if you can find ways to act on it, that's great, but um.

• 14:01Griffin McElroy?

  You know.

• 14:01Travis McElroy?

  I don't think Winnie the Pooh is a bad tactic to take, cause I remember the cartoon All Stars against drugs. Winnie the Pooh was there.

• 14:09Griffin McElroy?

  He was MVP.

• 14:10Travis McElroy?

  Like, oh bother, don't, don't smoke weed.

• 14:14Griffin McElroy?

  That's not bad, Travis.

• 14:15Travis McElroy?

  Have a smack of honey, right? And it was, and I was convinced, you know what I mean?

• 14:20Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, I only did like a bunch of drugs way later. So Winnie at least got me through high school before I fell apart.

• 14:28Travis McElroy?

  This is yet another problem that could have been fixed by the big sticky mess, a gun that shoots glue foam.

• 14:35Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome. I don't, I don't encourage the use of, uh.

• 14:40Travis McElroy?

  If you had the big sticky mess from Paul Blart Ball Cop 2, a gun that shoots glue foam. Then these two kids start getting spicy.

• 14:49Griffin McElroy?

  And this is why I, and again, it makes it really tough to have these conversations in public with Justin, cause he'll just. Offer things out of nowhere, like I think that teachers should have guns in school and everyone else is like, whoa. And then he's like, and me and Travis have to hop in and be like, he means the big sticky mess from Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

• 15:09Travis McElroy?

  The big sticky mess, a gun that shoots glue foam. I would also think the marble gun from Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

• 15:15Griffin McElroy?

  You don't want kids to fall. That's, that's, falling is not, you don't want them to fall.

• 15:18Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, you could just present, because.

• 15:21Travis McElroy?

  In the 50s, kids could fall.

• 15:23Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 15:24Travis McElroy?

  In the 50s, kids would take a fall.

• 15:25Griffin McElroy?

  Back when, you could punish kids by making them fall.

• 15:28Travis McElroy?

  You don't wanna get beat up by.

• 15:30Travis McElroy?

  Fall out of their pocket, but they would get right back up and dust the cold dust off and get back into the mines. Break out a Marlboro red and then they're back to school, you know, back when kids were kids.

• 15:41Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 15:42Travis McElroy?

  Whoa, now.

• 15:43Travis McElroy?

  Smoke was a smoke.

• 15:44Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. Hey, kids. Stop that fighting and start this lighting of cigarettes. Hi, I'm your cool teacher.

• 15:52Griffin McElroy?

  That's cool.

• 15:53Travis McElroy?

  That's cool.

• 15:54Travis McElroy?

  I'm just saying, you need something to distract the child, because you don't wanna wait in there and get an errant hit from a 12 year old and you have to explain that later. What about Beyblades?

• 16:03Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome. Hey, guys, settle this.

• 16:06Travis McElroy?

  Settle this with the blade.

• 16:07Griffin McElroy?

  With the blade.

• 16:09Griffin McElroy?

  That's cool. That's like when.

• 16:10Travis McElroy?

  That is good.

• 16:11Griffin McElroy?

  I remember once Travis and I were, were getting, were tussling a bit and dad came into the room and he was like, if you guys are gonna fight, let's fucking do this thing. Let's fucking fight and brawl. And me and Travis were like, uh, no, but I don't want to. He's my brother. Uh, so I think escalation is a, maybe a good thing.

• 16:28Travis McElroy?

  That's the craziest you've made dad sound. I think that's the worst dad.

• 16:31Griffin McElroy?

  Oh dude, high stakes, high stakes tactic. What if Travis and I had just been like, all right, mother, battle time, baby?

• 16:38Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, give me some duct tape and broken glass to roll my fist in.

• 16:42Travis McElroy?

  Bone size ready.

• 16:43Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah. No, he knew the content of our character pretty well, I'd say. That, he knew a hundred percent which way that was gonna go, but you could hop in and say like. Blade, we do this with blades at dawn. Let it rip.

• 16:55Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. We're like a Yu-Gi-Oh style card game. They might not be coordinated enough to Beyblade.

• 17:02Griffin McElroy?

  Takes too long. You gotta teach. Here's the thing. We're, we're talking about all these tactics on how to break up the fight or how to stop it. We need to stop this thing fast so we can get back to teaching, cause we gotta teach in the schools. That's my number one thing. Beyblade fight, that shit's like 40 seconds tops. And that's if the kids really know how to rip and spoiler alert, they fucking don't. They definitely don't.

• 17:22Travis McElroy?

  In the 50s, kids could rip.

• 17:23Travis McElroy?

  No, that's when kids could Beyblade.

• 17:25Griffin McElroy?

  50s kids, kids were ripping darts and slinging blades and it was a better time. And I do think we should go back there, just for that, just for that one thing.

• 17:34Travis McElroy?

  Sit backwards on a chair?

• 17:37Griffin McElroy?

  Just you think if someone's fighting another human being and you turn a chair around and sit on it?

• 17:42Travis McElroy?

  It might not work the first time, but I think if you keep repeating the action.

• 17:46Travis McElroy?

  Hmm. As a teacher, you do have one thing that will absolutely work. You could. Fall. Absolutely bust ass and be carrying something.

• 17:59Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 17:59Travis McElroy?

  Messy, because if a teacher does that. That's the ballgame. If a teacher is in the hall and they're like, guys, you have to get out of here. Mr. Paulson fell and there's fucking blue foam everywhere. It's so funny. He's carrying a gun.

• 18:15Travis McElroy?

  Sticky mess.

• 18:16Travis McElroy?

  He fell on his big sticky mess gun.

• 18:19Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 18:20Travis McElroy?

  It's hysterical.

• 18:20Griffin McElroy?

  That all teachers are mandated to have by, by the West Virginia House of Representatives.

• 18:26Travis McElroy?

  The Baron Trump administration has insisted that all teachers must be armed with a big sticky mess.

• 18:33Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, that's cool. Hey, could you just walk over to one of the kids and hold their wrist up and say like, this one wins?

• 18:40Travis McElroy?

  Ooh.

• 18:40Griffin McElroy?

  Fight, fight over. He wins. Better luck next time, gents.

• 18:45Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. Who had this guy winning?

• 18:48Travis McElroy?

  You could say something like, what about something like, save, save a scrap of that for me. I'm coming in. Save a, save a fight for me. I'm got, I got next.

• 18:57Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 18:58Travis McElroy?

  And you just like start throwing kids.

• 19:01Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 19:01Travis McElroy?

  Are you strong enough to throw a kid? It didn't say in the email. Could you pick up?

• 19:05Griffin McElroy?

  These guys, we fucking talked about this. If you have a truncheon build, you need to include that information in the email.

• 19:12Travis McElroy?

  That's true. If you can trunch.

• 19:13Griffin McElroy?

  If you can trunch.

• 19:15Travis McElroy?

  I wanna trunch.

• 19:16Travis McElroy?

  The trunch, you gotta let us know.

• 19:18Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 19:21Travis McElroy?

  My musical mentor said of an intentional rivalry between me and another girl violinist my age. She is unfortunately going away to graduate school. Orchestra is not the same.

• 19:32Travis McElroy?

  Till it's gone.

• 19:34Travis McElroy?

  Hmm. Orchestra is not the same without a frenemy to side eye me for not counting rests. What should I do to keep my rehearsals full of friendly-ish animosity? That's from Sassless and Desperate in San Diego.

• 19:47Griffin McElroy?

  You're asking for how you find your own. A new saliary, sort of.

• 19:52Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 19:53Travis McElroy?

  Saliary.

• 19:53Travis McElroy?

  I mean. A new Mozart, like.

• 19:58Griffin McElroy?

  You think they're the saliary?

• 20:00Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, I mean, everybody wants to think that they're the Mozart, but I mean.

• 20:04Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 20:05Travis McElroy?

  I don't think Mozart was looking for rivals.

• 20:07Griffin McElroy?

  I don't think Mozart wanted to be poisoned. I don't think that he wanted that from him.

• 20:12Travis McElroy?

  Uh. I think one of the things, now listen, I know I've been talking about anime a lot lately, guys, but I'm beginning to it.

• 20:19Travis McElroy?

  Worried.

• 20:20Travis McElroy?

  And one of the things that I'm jealous of in anime style is people just declaring, you're my rival now.

• 20:27Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 20:27Travis McElroy?

  And that being accepted, but not defined.

• 20:31Travis McElroy?

  I could use that.

• 20:32Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 20:32Travis McElroy?

  When we, when I worked at Joystick and we had Kotaku to like. Look at and, and chase after it meant something.

• 20:40Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 20:40Travis McElroy?

  That's by Circuit City, baby. We took him out.

• 20:43Travis McElroy?

  You won.

• 20:44Griffin McElroy?

  TCBY Baskin Robbins. You guys remember when that Baskin Robbins burned down?

• 20:51Griffin McElroy?

  Don't say that I'm pointing my thumb at myself because they can't see that, but legally.

• 20:57Griffin McElroy?

  You wouldn't think an ice cream store would burn that fast.

• 21:00Travis McElroy?

  This is.

• 21:00Griffin McElroy?

  But it went the fuck up, didn't it? You would think cold shop not.

• 21:05Travis McElroy?

  Ice cream.

• 21:05Griffin McElroy?

  And I had the same thought. I thought this will be a little silly fire. Cold shop not gonna burn. Wowzy zowzy. That thing went.

• 21:13Travis McElroy?

  Hugely wrong.

• 21:13Griffin McElroy?

  Gone.

• 21:14Travis McElroy?

  Superman ice cream.

• 21:15Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, it's super flammable, I guess.

• 21:17Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. This is the problem with my coworkers only being my brothers because my rival's Griffin.

• 21:23Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 21:24Travis McElroy?

  You know what I mean?

• 21:24Griffin McElroy?

  Justin.

• 21:26Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. And mine, I, listen, if you're looking for a rival, I have discovered you cannot beat the convenience, efficiency and uh, just meanness of yourself. Nobody can get to you like you. You know what I mean? If you need a real antagonist, somebody who's just gonna be like in your head all the time, knows exactly what to say to get to you, can really just like at any moment, just like really knock your legs off from underneath you.

• 21:53Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 21:53Travis McElroy?

  You gotta, you gotta, it's gotta come from the source. It's gotta be homespun criticism.

• 21:58Griffin McElroy?

  Justin's got.

• 21:58Travis McElroy?

  Right from the boss.

• 21:59Griffin McElroy?

  Justin's got a sort of mirror room apparatus he can go into to have his own sort of Sméagol Gollum, sort of freestyle battles. Um, and sometimes he needs that and it makes, it does make you stronger.

• 22:13Travis McElroy?

  If you work from home and you don't have a boss in the home, you have to create a mean boss. That hates your guts to make sure you work and do all the work that you have to do.

• 22:25Griffin McElroy?

  You can also be your own work wife, but that gets a little more complicated.

• 22:29Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. And softball sucks.

• 22:32Griffin McElroy?

  Softball sucks.

• 22:33Travis McElroy?

  It's hard.

• 22:34Griffin McElroy?

  It sucks.

• 22:35Travis McElroy?

  It's so hard. And you always know who ate your food out of the fridge.

• 22:41Travis McElroy?

  It was drunk you.

• 22:43Griffin McElroy?

  Um, I guess you're, can you just get up on someone while you're playing the violin? I feel like a lot of this is gonna come down to body language.

• 22:50Travis McElroy?

  The devil.

• 22:51Griffin McElroy?

  Okay, yeah.

• 22:52Travis McElroy?

  You need a rivalry with the devil. That dude loves playing violin.

• 22:56Griffin McElroy?

  I was.

• 22:57Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, that is one of his fave things.

• 22:59Griffin McElroy?

  I guess.

• 22:59Travis McElroy?

  He loves challenging people to shit and like.

• 23:02Griffin McElroy?

  We decided nothing is a sin anymore. He's got a ton of free time.

• 23:05Travis McElroy?

  Oh my God, yeah.

• 23:06Griffin McElroy?

  It just, he just plays violin. We let people do whatever they want.

• 23:08Travis McElroy?

  Go off, Ken.

• 23:10Griffin McElroy?

  Go off.

• 23:10Travis McElroy?

  I have to assume he's using AI and like data farms to punish people and stuff at this point. What's he doing?

• 23:16Griffin McElroy?

  Devil.

• 23:16Travis McElroy?

  He's, yeah.

• 23:17Griffin McElroy?

  He's worked it out. He's got a system.

• 23:20Travis McElroy?

  What's he doing? You know, he's challenging people to violin battles. And you know what? Maybe instead of a scattershot approach, he would love a kind of one-on-one rivalry with somebody.

• 23:29Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, but there's only one the devil. So like, how are you gonna guarantee that you, that you get the rivalry? How do you conjure him up? How do you summon him?

• 23:39Travis McElroy?

  You jump up on a hickory stump. You talk about how you're the best there's ever been.

• 23:44Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 23:45Travis McElroy?

  You lament your.

• 23:46Griffin McElroy?

  Hubris. That's the way to get the attention.

• 23:49Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, you need a fiddle of gold and talk about that a lot. About how, oh, if only I had a fiddle made of solid metal, this would sound so much better.

• 23:57Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 23:58Travis McElroy?

  Oh, have a child.

• 24:00Griffin McElroy?

  What?

• 24:00Travis McElroy?

  Oh, that's good. Yeah, that'll start.

• 24:02Griffin McElroy?

  Take a little while. You need a little patience, but like. Oh, and then the child will be.

• 24:06Travis McElroy?

  Child become, starts nipping at your heels. You have to stay one step ahead of them. Just an idea. Uh, I need your guys' help with a thing I've been working on. You know, throughout the week, throughout the time, ideas pop in my head and I have learned I'm not a good judge of the quality of these things. So I've created a segment.

• 24:28Griffin McElroy?

  In so many ways, man.

• 24:29Travis McElroy?

  A segment called Trav Chaff.

• 24:32Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 24:32Travis McElroy?

  And if you guys could help me separate.

• 24:34Griffin McElroy?

  Can we start with the name? Is that, is that up?

• 24:36Travis McElroy?

  Oh, yeah. Good point.

• 24:38Griffin McElroy?

  It's not, it almost is something.

• 24:40Travis McElroy?

  Doesn't sound like anything. It's hard to say, hard to hear. Trav Chaff to separate out the Trav wheat. You know what I mean?

• 24:47Griffin McElroy?

  And where do we get?

• 24:49Travis McElroy?

  Trav wheat.

• 24:50Griffin McElroy?

  Where do we get the Trav wheat? Is there a?

• 24:52Travis McElroy?

  Well, some of these might be Trav wheat, but that's not for me to decide. I'm low balling.

• 24:57Griffin McElroy?

  So maybe Trav Chaff with a question mark to leave it open for maybe there's wheat.

• 25:01Travis McElroy?

  We need like a nugs or you need a hot or not, like nugs or.

• 25:06Griffin McElroy?

  Separating the wheat from the Trav? What about the?

• 25:09Travis McElroy?

  That's negative towards yourself.

• 25:10Griffin McElroy?

  Negative to yourself. Which is great. We actually just established that it's great to do that sometimes.

• 25:16Travis McElroy?

  You tell, you guys tell me if this is anything. It must be really hard being a bodybuilder, knowing you'll never be as good as Dr. Frankenstein.

• 25:26Griffin McElroy?

  I gave myself chills. Like the response to that gave me chills.

• 25:29Travis McElroy?

  On me though. I do, I, yeah, Trav, it made me laugh. It made me laugh. It wasn't a, I resented it.

• 25:36Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 25:37Travis McElroy?

  It was a resentful laugh, but it did make me laugh. I have to be honest.

• 25:41Griffin McElroy?

  What was it? What were you, what were you doing when this one came to you? I think that's important.

• 25:45Travis McElroy?

  I was at the gym. Bodybuilding.

• 25:47Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 25:50Travis McElroy?

  He's not fucking Andy Kaufman, Griff. I mean, what do you want?

• 25:52Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 25:53Travis McElroy?

  He's got bodybuilding stuff, you know? Jeez. Um, here's the next one. You should never hire a contractor, spend the extra money and get a protractor. They know all the angles.

• 26:07Griffin McElroy?

  Wow. I've never seen Justin and I so split. Whoa.

• 26:11Travis McElroy?

  That's a good one. That's a good joke. I like that. Um, okay, here's the next one. And okay, so as a wise man once said, to thine own self be grew.

• 26:23Travis McElroy?

  Now I haven't fully worked out the deployment of that one.

• 26:26Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, this is where I'm struggling with this segment, Trav, is like, I am having a hard time imagining when that would be germane. Um, I guess if you're watching Despicable Me with like friends and talking about the challenge of his plight, and it is hard, especially in Despicable Me 4, he has to start his life over in Witness Protection, uh, with his family. And it's, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen in the theaters, but it seems hard for him. Maybe you could deliver it organically there.

• 26:56Travis McElroy?

  Oh, okay. Cool. Okay. I'll keep that in mind. Um, bread dough is always happy because it's nice to feel needed.

• 27:07Travis McElroy?

  You're like, the first part of that is really, really chunky. It's not, it's not, it's bread dough.

• 27:14Griffin McElroy?

  It must be nice to be bread dough to, must be nice. Uh, do you want help or do you just want a score? I, I don't know if you want a score on the. Yeah. Bread dough.

• 27:28Travis McElroy?

  Bread.

• 27:29Griffin McElroy?

  That's the difference between bread dough and me is I'm never needed.

• 27:33Travis McElroy?

  Whoa.

• 27:34Griffin McElroy?

  And then it can be sort of like a fucked up, like a dark one. Must be nice to feel needed. And you could say that when someone you love is, is working on bread. I wish you needed me the way you need that bread. Is that better?

• 27:47Travis McElroy?

  I think so.

• 27:48Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 27:50Travis McElroy?

  Bread is a lot like made yeast, yeast, yeast, yeast, everywhere yeast.

• 27:56Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, good.

• 27:58Travis McElroy?

  Okay, so the last one I got here is, uh.

• 28:02Griffin McElroy?

  Feels like you don't even like our help.

• 28:05Travis McElroy?

  Well, Griffin made me sad, is I have had.

• 28:08Griffin McElroy?

  Dude, I'm trying to fucking.

• 28:09Travis McElroy?

  Point of jokes?

• 28:10Griffin McElroy?

  I'm trying to help. You invited us into this really vulnerable space. I'm just trying to help.

• 28:15Travis McElroy?

  But you went to like a Pagliacci kind of place that was, showed a darkness that I, okay. Here's the last one.

• 28:23Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 28:24Travis McElroy?

  Um, buying a candy bar in France comes with a risk of electrocution because you get shock a lot.

• 28:34Griffin McElroy?

  That's a way homer.

• 28:36Travis McElroy?

  It's a way homer?

• 28:37Griffin McElroy?

  You're not gonna get it. You're not gonna get an immediate response on that one, Trav, but later when I'm doing a different podcast, I'm gonna start busting and people will wonder why I'm busting so hard. And I'll say it was because of Travis's awesome joke about you get shock a lot.

• 28:52Travis McElroy?

  What's the, what's the, what's your favorite, what's the most popular Halloween candy in France?

• 28:59Griffin McElroy?

  What?

• 29:00Travis McElroy?

  Shock a lot.

• 29:02Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 29:04Travis McElroy?

  Oh, um, that's clean, that's clean, seasonal.

• 29:08Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 29:09Travis McElroy?

  I don't know shock a lot.

• 29:12Travis McElroy?

  No, it works. Yeah, that lands.

• 29:15Griffin McElroy?

  What's, um, what's a, what's a electric chair operator's favorite Johnny Depp movie?

• 29:22Travis McElroy?

  What is a French electrician like to have for dessert?

• 29:26Griffin McElroy?

  That's cool.

• 29:27Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. What does a French electrician enjoy for dessert?

• 29:33Griffin McElroy?

  Chocolate.

• 29:34Travis McElroy?

  Two S's, please. It's super sweet.

• 29:36Griffin McElroy?

  Ooh.

• 29:37Travis McElroy?

  Full spelling.

• 29:41Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, it's awesome when you get to spell out your jokes while you're telling them to make sure.

• 29:46Travis McElroy?

  Well, it's just that way to remember how to spell dessert.

• 29:48Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 29:48Travis McElroy?

  Super sweet.

• 29:49Griffin McElroy?

  Cause you want, you want seconds.

• 29:52Travis McElroy?

  I like seconds on money.

• 29:56Griffin McElroy?

  Oh.

• 29:58Travis McElroy?

  An infinite, a lifetime supply of money.

• 30:01Griffin McElroy?

  A lifetime supply of money as long as you talk to your brothers for several hours every week and people don't change their minds about enjoying it. It's a lifetime supply of money.

• 30:26Griffin McElroy?

  I love Warby Parker frames. I love Warby Parker frames. And I know that they're our sponsor. And so a lot of people think like, ah, you're, you're biased. Um, but the reason I'm biased is not because of the sponsorship. It's because the frames look so good and they're the only frames really on earth that cost a normal amount of money. You know what? I'll say it. A good amount of money.

• 30:49Travis McElroy?

  Whoa, whoa.

• 30:51Griffin McElroy?

  A lot of places, a lot of places you go and all the frames look like fucking dork ass bullshit that make you look like a pervert. 90% of the frame, and then the 10% that don't make you look like a pervert, they cost a thousand dollars.

• 31:05Travis McElroy?

  And listen, in good taste, we can't name the brands that make you look like a pervert, but you're, you know it.

• 31:10Griffin McElroy?

  You know what you're thinking of?

• 31:12Travis McElroy?

  That's the one.

• 31:13Griffin McElroy?

  Warby Parker frames won't make you look like a pervert unless that's your style. They might be able to help you out there, but you won't accidentally buy pervert frames because they all look so cool. These are Warby Parkers. Check this out. Sloop, slop, bleep, blank. A different pair of Warby Parkers. That's right. I have two pairs of glasses.

• 31:31Travis McElroy?

  Those are the ones Griffin picked out for when he wants to look like a pervert.

• 31:35Griffin McElroy?

  Yes. And, but I had some special mods done aftermarket. Warby Parker doesn't like me talking about that. But the, uh, I got special transition lenses that move at a sort of perverted ratio and Warby Parker doesn't like that I do that. So I wish you hadn't brought it up. I have to switch back to the other glasses for continuity. You can throw these goddamn glasses across the room and they'll be just fine.

• 32:02Travis McElroy?

  Oh, yeah.

• 32:03Griffin McElroy?

  It doesn't say that in the copy, but it's been my experience that these are very sturdy frames. Um, I mean, it's great. You get the app and then the app has like a virtual, like try on thing where you look at your face and then it shows you what the glasses look like on your face. And the technology is so advanced, you guys, that it can make your current glasses that you're wearing disappear while you try on the new glasses. Isn't that fucking sick?

• 32:28Griffin McElroy?

  I love Warby Parker. It's, I have notifications turned on for the Warby Parker app. So I can get alerts when they have new, exciting, extra wide glasses options for my.

• 32:38Travis McElroy?

  That is very exciting. And maybe the dorkiest thing you've ever said, but also very.

• 32:43Griffin McElroy?

  Fucking true though. Uh, truly, truly, truly, I'm, I'm diehard Warby Parker, uh, tell I die. Also, every pair they sell, they give a pair to someone in need. Uh, that's so, that's awesome. And the prescription glasses start at just $95. And that's such a like.

• 32:58Travis McElroy?

  And it's not just glasses, contacts, online eye exam, sunglasses, anything you need.

• 33:02Griffin McElroy?

  Absolutely. Right now, buy one pair of glasses and get 20% off any additional pairs at warbyparker.com/ mybrother. That's 20% off any additional pairs. When you purchase one pair at W A R B Y parker.com/ mybrother.

• 33:16Travis McElroy?

  You know, when the shitty coffee table that I bought, not from Wayfair, broke shortly after I purchased it, I knew that it was time to get serious and get Wayfair. And goddamn if they didn't deliver. Literally.

• 33:33Griffin McElroy?

  Well, yeah, I mean.

• 33:34Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. And figuratively, uh.

• 33:36Griffin McElroy?

  If you bought something on Wayfair and they're like, all right, come get it. That would be so busted, dude.

• 33:41Travis McElroy?

  It's at Doug's house.

• 33:42Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 33:43Travis McElroy?

  Um, no, I got a new coffee table that's sturdy as hell. I could tap dance on this thing, uh, like in La La Land, which I haven't seen, but I think happens.

• 33:51Griffin McElroy?

  Yes.

• 33:51Travis McElroy?

  And I put together a Wayfair, uh, vanity that I bought off of Wayfair yesterday. It was a joy and a pleasure and my girls love it. Is it for your kids or is it for you and they just liked it?

• 34:03Griffin McElroy?

  What do you mean? I was just talking about what a Wayfair product.

• 34:06Travis McElroy?

  But was it a vanity you got for them?

• 34:08Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 34:09Travis McElroy?

  For you?

• 34:10Griffin McElroy?

  For them.

• 34:11Travis McElroy?

  Okay. Okay. I was about to be really thrown off because you're the least vain person I know. That's so sweet. Thank you. A little bit sweet. A little bit.

• 34:18Griffin McElroy?

  It's actually mean if you think about it. You don't want to be the least vain person someone knows.

• 34:24Travis McElroy?

  Griffin's right in the middle. Yeah, I'm gonna, I'll think on it. Go ahead with what you're saying. I'll think on it. Yeah, no, they've got a ton of stuff. They even have, uh, playground equipment that you can purchase in there that I've been looking at because my kids have gotten bigger and I needed to update the playground set, you know, stuff like that. They've got stuff for every style and budget, uh, whether you're replacing something or redoing a whole room, you can find it.

  Yeah.

• 37:08Travis McElroy?

  I want a munch squad.

• 37:12Travis McElroy?

  I want to munch squad.

• 37:18Travis McElroy?

  Welcome to Munch Squad. It's a podcast within a podcast profile and latest and greatest brand eating. I realized recently that I have been over relying on Munch Squad because well, it's, I love doing it. I love talking about fast food, but sometimes I bring stories that I'm like, I don't know if they really demand attention. Yeah. So I'm going to try to be smarter about when I have a, a, something to bring to the table. There's, it's, it's, it's important. Either like news you can use.

• 37:48Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 37:49Travis McElroy?

  Or it really important stuff.

• 37:52Griffin McElroy?

  Or the CEO of Burger King, the CEO of Burger King has lost his mind is another like, we love that.

• 37:57Travis McElroy?

  Well, that's an ongoing situation. Like I'm not going to tell you that Duncan and LL Bean have a collaboration where they gave tiny sweaters out for the drinks and then you can buy the real full size sweater to match your coffee drink sweater that you bought.

• 38:10Griffin McElroy?

  You're not telling us about that.

• 38:11Travis McElroy?

  I'm not going to tell you about that.

• 38:13Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome.

• 38:13Travis McElroy?

  I'm gonna tell you about the Arby's Steak Nuggets. If I said, if I, if I say the name Caleb McDaniel to you, what's your immediate reaction?

• 38:23Griffin McElroy?

  Youtuber. That's a Youtuber name if I've ever heard one.

• 38:27Travis McElroy?

  Okay. So you're guessing. What do you got, Trav? Do you know Caleb McDaniel? Cause I don't. I was hoping you guys did. He seems to be professionally handsome. No. Okay. Uh, it says, reality TV star, model and influencer. So Griffin, maybe if you could give me, let me know what Caleb's been on, Caleb McDaniel. I can't imagine whatever series he was on.

• 38:46Griffin McElroy?

  Love Island.

• 38:47Travis McElroy?

  Love Island. Yeah. I didn't think it was one of the talking forward ones. Yeah. I didn't think it was one of like the discussion heavy ones. Judging from the commercial, which we will check out here in a second. Um, so steak nuggets are back. I should say this upfront. I have. Wait, unless, unless this is about John Hopkins alum Caleb McDaniel, who won a Pulitzer Prize for history, which I also found in my Google.

• 39:15Griffin McElroy?

  Is it him? Sorry. Is, I imagine that's an old man. Is that, is it Pulitzer Prize award winning?

• 39:22Travis McElroy?

  Maybe like 45. Um, the steak nuggets are officially back at Arby's for a limited time. Now slow cooked and juicier than ever.

• 39:32Griffin McElroy?

  How were we doing it before?

• 39:33Travis McElroy?

  Fast cooked, fast cooked, dry. I'll tell you this. I tried them last round and whatever cooking they were doing was the wrong speed.

• 39:42Travis McElroy?

  Slower or fast, any, any like, uh, uh, any difference to the procedure would be welcome. They're slow cooked and juicier than ever. Built on 100% steak.

• 39:55Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome. Fuck yeah, dude. That's crazy. Steaks, steaks.

• 40:00Travis McElroy?

  Built on 100% steak. Well, Justin, when you're building your castle, you mustn't build your castle on the sand. You must build your castle on 100% steak.

• 40:09Griffin McElroy?

  Steak's one of them foods that I think you'd have a hard time mixing percentages of other things in with it. It's pretty, it's pretty, uh, I don't know. There's really just the one ingredient for the most part, right?

• 40:25Travis McElroy?

  You don't want to recon, reconstitute it. It's at least 51% steak. Right. It's a hundred percent steak. Now it's built on 100% steak, not comprised of 100% steak. That sucks. Sucks. I hate that. They've made their way. You know that somebody said like, and we'll say it's 100% steak. And then someone's like, mm, there's breading. There's breading on it. So we can't say that.

• 40:51Griffin McElroy?

  There's peptide. There's a lot of, there's seams of peptides running through each steak nugget. So we need to be very careful with our language.

• 40:59Travis McElroy?

  What about the air, the space between the steak molecules? All right, Doug, you bring this up every time.

• 41:08Travis McElroy?

  Uh, we're bringing, so the steak nuggets are also being joined by, um, uh, a horsey ranch. That's a new, a new sort of thing you can dip them in is the horsey ranch.

• 41:19Griffin McElroy?

  Horsey ranch. Okay.

• 41:20Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. Horsey ranch.

• 41:21Griffin McElroy?

  Horsey ranch is fun to say. If I ever had a, a place with horses that people could come and pay money to ride, I would probably, I would probably call it that.

• 41:29Travis McElroy?

  That's what they call it in Yellowstone.

• 41:31Griffin McElroy?

  Mm hmm.

• 41:32Travis McElroy?

  So I'd like to show you guys the ad real quick. Thinking about Yellowstone.

• 41:36Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 41:39Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. Yeah. Hey darling, don't be shy. I've been expecting you. Arby's told me you're looking for an all new southern guy.

• 41:44Speaker 00

  I would get a taste, something a little more mature. Oh, and darling, I wear suits now.

• 41:49Travis McElroy?

  Okay, let's stop for a second.

• 41:50Griffin McElroy?

  So let's stop and talk about Caleb.

• 41:53Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, talk for a second about what you guys have seen so far.

• 41:55Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, it's, yeah, he's wearing a suit and a chain, no shirt, beige cowboy hat and handsome.

• 42:02Travis McElroy?

  Beige, beige, beige, beige.

• 42:04Griffin McElroy?

  Beige, beige, beige, beige, T to T. It's a beige boy and handsome and the chest and tummy looks good, you know, in the way that we like from Caleb.

• 42:12Travis McElroy?

  Now, on screen presence.

• 42:14Griffin McElroy?

  On screen presence, a little mushy mouth for my, I don't know that one pulls off a southern sort of gentleman and talks that nervously. It seems like he's scared to talk about steak nuggets a little bit.

• 42:24Travis McElroy?

  Not a lot of dynamism, not a lot of, um, energy coming except was that enough?

• 42:32Griffin McElroy?

  Was that good? Did you like that darling?

• 42:33Travis McElroy?

  Enough, are we done? Can I go lay down? All right.

• 42:37Speaker 00

  See, as kids, we eat regrettable things like shape shifted chicken nuggets.

• 42:41Travis McElroy?

  Sorry, can we try that again? Hey Caleb, was that, can we take another run at that big dog?

• 42:46Griffin McElroy?

  As kids.

• 42:48Travis McElroy?

  Do one more pass at that?

• 42:50Travis McElroy?

  If you could step forward like a human being does, that would be great. I think you're thinking about it a little too much, Caleb. If you could just.

• 42:59Travis McElroy?

  Overthinking it. And I agree, shape shifted chicken nuggets is a mouthful.

• 43:04Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 43:04Speaker 00

  If you're old enough to do your laundry, you've outgrown that mess. It's time for an upgraded nugget.

• 43:09Travis McElroy?

  Sorry, what?

• 43:09Griffin McElroy?

  If you're old enough to do your laundry, you've outgrown eating shape shifted chicken nuggets.

• 43:14Travis McElroy?

  Nuggets. Okay, so what do we got? What do you have instead, K? Okay.

• 43:17Speaker 00

  It's time for an upgraded nugget. Our beef steak nuggets by a size pieces of a hundred percent steak. It's the quality upgraded nugget us grownups deserve.

• 43:25Griffin McElroy?

  Oh, what? What? It's the quality upgraded nugget us grownups deserve. He looks fifteen.

• 43:30Travis McElroy?

  If you're gonna be putting out complicated ideas, challenging ideas, you have to deliver them with force and clarity.

• 43:37Griffin McElroy?

  Also not dipping it.

• 43:37Travis McElroy?

  The idea that adults can't eat nuggets anymore is a sea change, Caleb. You can't just like announce that from, from on high. You can't wander down from Mount Sinai and be like, guess what? Adults are off Nuggs.

• 43:51Travis McElroy?

  And not dipping it in the wine glass. Though I expected the wine glass was full of this new horsey ranch.

• 43:56Griffin McElroy?

  Horsey ranch, yeah.

• 43:57Travis McElroy?

  And that was why it was so present in this whole experience.

• 44:01Travis McElroy?

  It's because you're having a date night with him. Let's move on.

• 44:06Griffin McElroy?

  What?

• 44:07Speaker 00

  I'll focus on the hundred percent steak for me, darling.

• 44:09Travis McElroy?

  What?

• 44:10Griffin McElroy?

  Sorry, Caleb. I think he asked the camera to focus on the one hundred percent steak for me, darling. But man, guys, these nuggets look wet as hell.

• 44:20Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 44:21Griffin McElroy?

  We're touching these, sorry, Arby's, we're touching these things with our fingers in the car?

• 44:25Travis McElroy?

  That's what they want to try to encourage, but I'm not a Caleb McDaniel. No one wants to see me slurping this sauce off my little fingies.

• 44:32Travis McElroy?

  I hope that they, if, I hope that this ad ends with like a thirty minute jump forward and his beige suit is just covered.

• 44:39Travis McElroy?

  Sloppy.

• 44:40Travis McElroy?

  In drippings and like finger wiping.

• 44:43Travis McElroy?

  Hey Travis, hey Travis.

• 44:48Speaker 00

  You're a horsey ranch or mom?

• 44:53Griffin McElroy?

  He's eating the shit out of these.

• 44:54Speaker 00

  I was out for an upgrade.

• 45:00Griffin McElroy?

  All right.

• 45:01Speaker 00

  Darn, I stay in the suit.

• 45:03Griffin McElroy?

  Okay, so he does make a mess of the horsey ranch. And that's gonna look like come, Caleb, for sure.

• 45:08Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, man, that's definitely gonna get, I'm gonna stop this share so I can break the temptation to play the entire ad again.

• 45:14Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, he does say in there, can we focus on the line, you're a horsey ranch or mom?

• 45:19Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, that's such a swing that connects with nothing. It's an absolute whiff. Sorry, it doesn't sound like anything. A ranch is not a, I mean.

• 45:28Griffin McElroy?

  I guess like your place where you house livestock. My big thing with this commercial gang, and I know, you know, if you're listening to the audio product, uh, maybe this is lost on you. But he housed about sixteen of these nuggets in a montage of nuggets. Just destruct, he really tore through these fucking things.

• 45:47Travis McElroy?

  As someone who's eaten these guys, it is bordering on malfeasance that they are not depicting at least twenty minutes of chewing per nugget.

• 45:56Griffin McElroy?

  Well, drop it.

• 45:56Travis McElroy?

  It is, it is not a slurp down. It's not a choke down. It's a chew.

• 46:00Griffin McElroy?

  It goes, he takes his hat off.

• 46:04Griffin McElroy?

  Between each one.

• 46:07Travis McElroy?

  All right, we gotta cut. Bring him the spittoon.

• 46:10Griffin McElroy?

  Mm-hmm.

• 46:10Travis McElroy?

  Now, he's panicking.

• 46:12Griffin McElroy?

  He's freaking out.

• 46:13Travis McElroy?

  Get him the spittoon now.

• 46:15Griffin McElroy?

  Caleb, we're sorry.

• 46:15Travis McElroy?

  I can't tell if he likes him or not. I can't, I don't understand. He may be choking or he may be reading a URL. It's impossible to tell.

• 46:24Travis McElroy?

  He's saying this there, yeah, put it in the commercial.

• 46:26Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, that's coming out of your paycheck, Caleb.

• 46:31Speaker 00

  You guys are paying me?

• 46:32Travis McElroy?

  No, Caleb, in nuggets.

• 46:34Travis McElroy?

  Have we found his shirt yet?

• 46:37Travis McElroy?

  Is someone on that? Yeah.

• 46:38Speaker 00

  I don't have any shirts.

• 46:39Travis McElroy?

  Last place he had it was in the sandbox.

• 46:42Travis McElroy?

  When he says I wear suits now, he means instead of absolutely nothing.

• 46:45Griffin McElroy?

  I'm assuming.

• 46:46Travis McElroy?

  This is the first clothes he's been given. He was a house elf before.

• 46:49Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. I have my dad's hat now. Yeah, Caleb, we know.

• 46:53Travis McElroy?

  That's the Arby's Nuggets situation. There's other promotions going on with these guys, but I'm not gonna be dealing with it. I'm sorry. You don't get the nuggets, by the way. They taste like someone took a smoke break inside of your mouth.

• 47:07Travis McElroy?

  This is great, because I see here in this TikTok that he did add hashtag Arby's partner, which, thank you for clarifying that.

• 47:14Travis McElroy?

  Thank you, God.

• 47:15Travis McElroy?

  Now, I had no idea that this was sponsored by Arby's.

• 47:18Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, okay. Before I navigate away from this, I am curious. There's fifteen hundred comments on this and I could not guess the tenor. What would, what tenor would you guess?

• 47:31Griffin McElroy?

  I wish he dipped my, I wish he dipped my ass in ranch and gobble me up.

• 47:36Travis McElroy?

  Who is this?

• 47:38Griffin McElroy?

  No, a hundred percent all people. Let me get a bite, not of the nugget. This is fire. He keep a damn check, okay? I want Arby's now. We got a text and now we want steak nuggets. Travis, people are fucking losing their minds.

• 47:55Travis McElroy?

  Oh, I forgot this was, this is posted on his TikTok channel, so it would be wild if we were like, who the fuck is this?

• 48:02Griffin McElroy?

  Who's this fucking guy?

• 48:03Travis McElroy?

  Who's this fucking guy? But the Arby's in Los Angeles closed.

• 48:08Travis McElroy?

  You've only got one Arby's?

• 48:10Travis McElroy?

  There's no.

• 48:12Travis McElroy?

  What it must be like in the flyover cities, huh?

• 48:16Travis McElroy?

  I have three just in, within ten minutes of me.

• 48:19Travis McElroy?

  There's no fucking way that this.

• 48:21Travis McElroy?

  One Arby's?

• 48:22Travis McElroy?

  Or zero, it sounds like.

• 48:24Travis McElroy?

  Los Angeles is huge.

• 48:27Griffin McElroy?

  No one's eating beef over there, Trav.

• 48:31Griffin McElroy?

  No one's over there eating beef. It's all Satan.

• 48:36Travis McElroy?

  Satan?

• 48:37Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 48:39Travis McElroy?

  Is there a gang of people?

• 48:40Griffin McElroy?

  No.

• 48:41Travis McElroy?

  There is a gang of people near me who about once a month.

• 48:45Travis McElroy?

  This would be a way different question if it was.

• 48:48Travis McElroy?

  A weird question, is there?

• 48:52Griffin McElroy?

  Quick, I need your help.

• 48:54Travis McElroy?

  There is a gang of people near me who about once a month run up a popular hilly hiking trail, all dressed in suits of armor. I haven't seen any flyers for how to join them or any information about them. Should I just show up one day and start running with them to prove my muster? How do I earn their respect? Important info, I do not have a full set of armor, only a six foot broadsword. That's from Oathseeking in Oregon. Fuck.

• 49:17Griffin McElroy?

  Um, if you don't own the armor, that's fine. You can always page or squire for them. Start, you'll start with page if you don't have your own shit, except for one broadsword. Um, unless you want to roll up there like shirtless, maybe just wearing Caleb's getup from this Arby's commercial with your broadsword and say like, yeah, I'm more of like a barbarian type. Um, I find the armor gets in the way of the killing.

• 49:42Travis McElroy?

  You've fashioned some of your own protective pieces. Well, how, how, how possible is it to get a full armor set going? Is that a weekend? Is that a few days? What are we thinking?

• 49:54Travis McElroy?

  You talking, you talking play? You talking mail? You talking leather?

• 49:59Travis McElroy?

  Uh, listen, I'd rather run up in mail, I think. I feel like mail would be the play.

• 50:03Griffin McElroy?

  Mail's pretty heavy still.

• 50:05Travis McElroy?

  Hmm.

• 50:06Travis McElroy?

  Um, I bet that there are some, let's say, specialty shops in town where you could find some chain mail ask garments you could wear.

• 50:16Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, okay. Tell me more about these and their addresses and phone numbers, please.

• 50:20Travis McElroy?

  Maybe revealing, perhaps, maybe not necessarily defensive as of maybe, I bet they have leather that you could wear as well.

• 50:31Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah, leather's pretty easy to find out there, I bet.

• 50:34Travis McElroy?

  I can have very clear memories of seeing the first time I saw the guys from the SCA, I think it could be all people, the guys from the SCA at the park. And they were hitting each other with swords and I just thought like, how did I not find out about that?

• 50:48Griffin McElroy?

  They're free.

• 50:49Travis McElroy?

  Nobody told me about this. How do you find out about this? Like, nobody told me about this. Now, I know, knowing myself. I don't think I would have gone, but I would like to know when it's happening.

• 51:00Griffin McElroy?

  The offer would be nice.

• 51:01Travis McElroy?

  I would like to know that it's happening. You know, I don't have to be one of the fireball guys, one of the main ones. I don't have to be one of the lead sword guys. I could be like potion shop guy, you know, whatever.

• 51:12Travis McElroy?

  Oh, yeah, that's the dream, you know?

• 51:14Travis McElroy?

  I just like to know it's happening.

• 51:15Travis McElroy?

  I don't want to be in the middle. I want to either be like the lord or the king or whatever, or like the guy who runs a stall in town who's not running around, not getting hit.

• 51:26Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 51:27Travis McElroy?

  But does fully get to like participate. That's why when I was on an inner, like a friend, you know, softball league, I was always so excited when there were too many people and I didn't have to actually like go out to the bases, but I got to sit on the bench, but I was there. I was on the team.

• 51:44Griffin McElroy?

  It's fun. You get all the hang time, none of the work, none of the sweat.

• 51:49Travis McElroy?

  No pressure.

• 51:50Griffin McElroy?

  No pressure at all. I don't know where one buys armor, but I bet you I could buy the weekend, get a pretty convincing Shrek costume delivered. And now all of a sudden you're hiding in the woods and you're waiting for them because they need a monster. They need a bad, they need a bad monster to jump out and scare them in the woods and say like,

• 52:10Travis McElroy?

  Ooh, that's good.

• 52:11Griffin McElroy?

  And do it near the top. You want them to be tired because otherwise they'll kick your fucking ass into the ground.

• 52:17Travis McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 52:17Griffin McElroy?

  They'll stomp your ass right back to the swamp for sure.

• 52:20Travis McElroy?

  Roll big boulders at them or something like, whoa, a little excitement, a little added danger.

• 52:24Travis McElroy?

  Cool. I think that rolling up in a full suit of armor is too presumptuous, but I also think showing up no armor at all is like cheating, right? Because the whole point is the wrong, you need to roll up in some like clanky, like pieces from a cast iron, right? Because you're going to prove that you may not be a knight, but you have the heart of a knight, right?

• 52:46Travis McElroy?

  Oh, that's nice.

• 52:47Travis McElroy?

  You're going to win them over and then you're going to prove like, yeah, there's something about like, I don't know, they haven't had the training, they don't have the mana to accomplish the, the magic, but god damn it, you can't keep them down, right? And then eventually you're the main character.

• 53:04Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, but you just start as a squire.

• 53:06Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 53:07Travis McElroy?

  Pl- my lord, just a squire. You don't even have to go the whole way up the hill, probably. They probably don't even let squires go to the top.

• 53:13Griffin McElroy?

  No.

• 53:13Travis McElroy?

  I bet squires have to stop halfway up.

• 53:15Griffin McElroy?

  There's a cave. There's a cave. They leave their squires and pages it. Yeah.

• 53:19Travis McElroy?

  What, what if you get a full suit of armor?

• 53:22Griffin McElroy?

  Uh huh.

• 53:22Travis McElroy?

  You find out the day that they're doing this. You go up the night before and then as, when you hear them coming up, you light a cigarette. And then once they get up, you're like, finally. And then they're like, who is this bad boy?

• 53:34Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome.

• 53:35Travis McElroy?

  You're in just like that. Like you're like, I started.

• 53:37Travis McElroy?

  On top of a dead dragon.

• 53:39Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 53:39Travis McElroy?

  I, that sounds so much harder than mine, Travis. Mine was already pretty hard.

• 53:44Griffin McElroy?

  A dead dragon be tough. A dead man in a Shrek costume and you say, I've already slain the fearsome ogre.

• 53:49Travis McElroy?

  I've slain the ogre.

• 53:51Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 53:51Travis McElroy?

  You have to get up a little earlier if you want to steal a kill from me.

• 53:56Griffin McElroy?

  That's cool.

• 53:57Travis McElroy?

  Can you duel someone to get in?

• 53:59Griffin McElroy?

  I think that's the only way you can get in.

• 54:00Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna have to find somebody with the same kind of measure, like dimensions as you, because you're gonna take their armor. Yeah, you're gonna take their armor. You don't want to go for somebody way taller than you.

• 54:14Travis McElroy?

  Get their oath blade.

• 54:15Travis McElroy?

  Yes.

• 54:16Griffin McElroy?

  That's cool.

• 54:17Travis McElroy?

  Yes.

• 54:18Griffin McElroy?

  Awesome.

• 54:18Travis McElroy?

  Now, also find out if they have any very capable children who will be coming after you next.

• 54:23Griffin McElroy?

  Okay.

• 54:23Travis McElroy?

  Oh, that's true.

• 54:25Travis McElroy?

  Yeah. Or, mm, children with the potential to become capable who will train relentlessly to, in order to feed you.

• 54:33Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah.

• 54:33Travis McElroy?

  If you can find somebody who's infertile, I think that's the dream.

• 54:37Travis McElroy?

  I think maybe if you could, and then if you could teach them violin and make them better than you are, then you've got a full suite of like, they're trying to kill me and also they're better at violin than I am and they're making me practice all the time. It's a full service enemy.

• 54:53Travis McElroy?

  And they use their violin strings to shoot arrows at you.

• 54:58Travis McElroy?

  Shit, guys, we are so close.

• 55:00Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, man, almost there.

• 55:02Travis McElroy?

  Let's, in fact, let's just, you know.

• 55:04Griffin McElroy?

  Pump the brakes.

• 55:05Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, we're too close to a good idea. We need to back off.

• 55:07Travis McElroy?

  Let's, no, let's just not record this one. You know what I mean? Just like this one. We'll just like after the show, really knock this, this thing out to the woods.

• 55:21Travis McElroy?

  Um, thank you for listening to our podcast. I really appreciate it.

• 55:25Travis McElroy?

  Yeah, man.

• 55:26Travis McElroy?

  Really genuinely, thank you so much. Uh, this is our 833rd episode.

• 55:32Travis McElroy?

  Hell, yeah.

• 55:33Travis McElroy?

  And.

• 55:34Travis McElroy?

  This is when it starts cooking.

• 55:36Travis McElroy?

  This is when it really, most podcasts don't start really cooking until eight, three, three. That's when you know the heat is on.

• 55:42Griffin McElroy?

  Yeah. Hey, uh, we got some merch in the merch shop right now, but come this Thursday, when October rolls around, we're putting so much incredible shit in there. We got a Duper Sweet Leaf tee inspired by, uh, by Taz Royale. Uh, it's a design that looks like, uh, I don't know, Bonnaroo Tour poster, uh, style design, I guess, very Allman Brothers coded, uh, that I am fucking wild about. Uh, we've also got the Super McElroy Brothers logo pin, uh, and the, uh, the don't talk to my brother hat, which is a really, really, a really fun design that I'm so excited to see out circulating in the world. And 10% of all of our merch proceeds this month will also be donated to the Center for Reproductive Rights. Uh, all of that is over at McElroyMerch.com.

• 56:26Travis McElroy?

  Also next week, the Besties Live on Broadway, October 9th of the Town Hall in NYC. Get your tickets now at bit.ly/bestiesonbroadway. Support my brothers. They need you to be there.

• 56:38Griffin McElroy?

  We got a new season of The Adventure Zone starting on Thursday. It's called Taz Providence. We're playing, uh, Supernormal, a super fun game we've played at live shows before. It's created by Ursadice and it's a story about gods and the wonderful adventures and silly hijinks they get up to.

• 56:54Travis McElroy?
