The McElroy brothers are not experts

0:03

and their advice should never be followed. Travis

0:06

insists he's a sexpert, but

0:08

if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen

0:10

it. Also, this show

0:12

isn't for kids, which I mention

0:14

only so the babies out there will know

0:16

how cool they are for listening. What's up,

0:19

you cool baby? One, two, three,

0:21

four! It's the start

0:23

of something beautiful. A

0:27

small acquaintance has blossom, it's rapping

0:29

into a precious friendship. I

0:33

could've never seen what was coming for me.

0:36

Hangs at the skate park,

0:38

hangs by the beach. My

0:41

life, it feels

0:43

like life.

0:48

It's better, it's better with you. My

0:52

life, it's

0:55

better, it's better with

0:57

you. This is true,

0:59

it's better, it's better

1:01

with you. My

1:04

life, it's better with you.

1:10

Hello everybody and welcome to my brother, my brother

1:12

me and advice show for the modern era. I'm your

1:14

oldest brother Justin McElroy. What's

1:17

up, Trav Nation? It's

1:19

me, your middle-est brother Travis

1:21

Big Dog Wolf of McElroy!

1:25

Art is power

1:28

is sex and

1:32

politics. I'm

1:34

Griffin McElroy, citizen Griffin

1:36

McElroy. Oh

1:38

God, I'm so excited guys, Edge and my

1:41

seat. We're Edge and

1:43

Big Time, I do wish someone would say

1:45

the premise of the bit. Otherwise me and

1:47

Travis sound completely unhinged. Yeah, we're so

1:49

excited because Megalopolis is

1:51

dawning. The theatre is all around the

1:53

nation. I actually don't know if

1:56

it's going to come here. Do you think I'll be

1:58

able to see it in Huntington? I hope so. Do

2:00

you think you'll get to? I hope that

2:02

I will get around to it. I heard

2:05

Frank say, Frankie Coppola. Yeah,

2:07

yeah, yeah. I heard Frank say

2:09

that if your city is so

2:11

much not like Megalopolis, you're not

2:13

allowed to watch Megalopolis. He's not

2:15

like trying to spread the message

2:18

to smaller towns that they could

2:20

be Megalopolis. He wants

2:22

to congratulate New York City,

2:24

Los Angeles. Francis Ford Coppola

2:27

spent 40 years trying to make this

2:29

movie about New Rome called Megalopolis.

2:31

It's in the same mode as

2:33

Francis Lang's Metropolis. Yeah, I

2:35

know. And he was so busy during that

2:38

40 years, he did not, from what I've heard from

2:40

reports of his actions on set, spend

2:42

any time maybe learning about social mores

2:44

that had changed that maybe. So that's

2:46

not the point. The point is that

2:48

it's part of Megalopolis. Two of his

2:50

incredible vineyards to pay for the movie

2:52

himself because no one believed in his

2:54

vision. Damn dude. We are

2:56

finally experiencing the

2:58

fruits of those labors and the fruits

3:00

of those vineyards, if I

3:02

could be so bold. What does that say

3:05

though? Like if you're a Steven Spielberg, you're

3:07

a Ford Coppola, you're a

3:09

Scorsese, right? And I am.

3:11

And you are. And you've made a big blockbuster

3:13

famous movies. And then you go to somebody and

3:15

you're like, I have an idea for a movie.

3:18

And you spent 40 years telling people about a

3:20

movie. And for 40 years, they're like, no. I

3:23

wanna make that movie. Absolutely not.

3:26

It'll be good. It'll be really, really good. We know.

3:28

Yeah, you make good movies. We just aren't gonna

3:30

pay for this one. No way. You gotta

3:32

know. You guys suck so bad. We

3:34

don't want to work with you, a

3:37

proven successful director. You made what a

3:39

lot of people consider to be the

3:41

best motion picture of all time. And

3:43

I know you spent 40 years on

3:46

this one. It's that bad,

3:48

Frank. So you know that there, everybody

3:51

knows that, there's a scene

3:53

in the movie that requires

3:55

audience participation. I did hear about this. So

3:57

maybe this is why it's not coming to

3:59

hunt. So this is

4:01

this is true except it's all kind of

4:04

a little bit wishy-washy What

4:06

exactly the true truth of the situation

4:08

is there is a scene in the

4:10

movie where giant Adam driver Talks

4:13

to someone who is supposed to be

4:15

physically standing in front

4:17

of the screen Yeah, the liver like I

4:20

didn't know that was something we could do. I

4:22

didn't know this is an option and like at

4:24

like in Mickey's Runaway

4:26

railroad. Yeah, yeah, I know

4:28

the train And

4:31

then the attendant says right this

4:33

way everybody let's go inside the

4:35

cartoon this unless you be inside

4:38

megalopolis by performance also visionary John

4:40

Hammond's idea for the Jurassic

4:42

Park to her that's correct Travis it

4:45

is that yes now that's a record

4:47

of mr. DNA now there are

4:49

some theater chains that have already come out and

4:51

said no we won't know thanks. We can't hire

4:54

Actors That we

4:56

expect as a movie theater that by the time the film

4:59

gets to us the whole acting

5:01

has been done Yeah, everything's actually contained

5:03

within the movie. Yes, this will so

5:07

Yes, and it seems like the

5:09

line is actually pre-recorded in the

5:11

film, right? But what this means

5:13

is that you have

5:15

a primo? Opportunity when you go see

5:17

megalopolis and frankly you will probably be

5:19

fighting a crowd And it's gonna be

5:21

part of the joy of seeing this

5:23

film. It'll be like rocky horror if

5:25

you learn the moment you could absolutely

5:29

Justifiably bum-rush this film to be

5:32

the guy I

5:35

will for sure So

5:38

it will take some commitment to get the timing

5:40

right because I haven't checked But I have to

5:42

imagine the runtime of this your baby ain't coming

5:44

in at 88 You

5:47

know what I mean 220 from what I heard

5:50

22 hours to 18 right two hours and 18 minutes Cool

5:55

cool. So you're gonna watch that a couple

5:57

times to get the timing right Travis

5:59

if I told you

6:01

that Aubrey Plaza is playing

6:04

a character named WOW

6:06

Platinum. What would you say

6:08

about that? Sorry, WOW

6:10

Platinum? Sorry, the thing is

6:12

WOW Platinum is the name of the,

6:16

another name from it, this

6:18

channel, oof, is Clodio-Pulture.

6:21

Is another character?

6:24

Okay. This is what took 40 years. WOW

6:26

Platinum alone took six years. Jason

6:29

Schwartzman plays a character named Jason

6:31

Zanders. Okay. That's

6:33

cool. That feels like that was kind of a

6:35

gift to him, huh? Yeah, that's what I would

6:38

change my name to. If I had been him,

6:40

they put Dustin Hoffman in this one.

6:43

Dusty Hoffman, man, talk about, he is

6:45

quite dusty. I would say at this

6:47

point, yeah. A

6:50

lot of box office grime on this guy.

6:54

Why haven't, hey, he was a good actor

6:56

for so long. Why didn't he put him

6:58

in a film? Opens newspaper, any newspaper?

7:01

Oh, that was Francis' whole deal. You

7:03

guys don't know that. He was like, I'm putting all

7:05

the canceled people in there. All the dusty old boys.

7:07

I'm surprised WOW Platinum wasn't played by Roseanne Barr. We

7:15

got Tim Allen. We got that guy from

7:17

Mr. Show in here. Fuck,

7:23

man. And actually he just recut it. He heard

7:25

about Zachary Levi, and he was like, it's not

7:27

too late. I'm going to cut him in. He's

7:31

going to go to every movie theater and stand

7:33

in the front and deliver the line. This version

7:35

sucks. I just sold another vineyard to add 70

7:37

minutes of primo Zachary Levi content. Guys,

7:39

I got Jon Voight in this flick.

7:42

Yeah, they do. He can barely talk. Reuniting

7:44

Shia LaBeouf and Jon Voight for the first

7:46

time since Disney's Holds. I saw a clip

7:49

of this flick where it was just Jon Voight

7:51

lying on a bed with a huge boner that

7:53

turned out to be a crossbow. You

7:56

got a crossbowter? Yeah, man. It's just

7:58

aimed at a movie for any. I

8:00

gotta go see this movie. Can anybody

8:03

go see this movie? I guess it's

8:05

rated R, so not anybody can guess.

8:07

Not anybody can guess. When can I

8:09

see Megalopolis? Would it surprise you guys

8:12

to know that

8:14

Megalopolis is gonna have to compete

8:16

against two robot films? It's

8:20

a tough week. Looks like we can

8:22

all have a good laugh at Frank's expense, but

8:24

some of the messages of that movie, I

8:27

think our gospel, vis-a-vis the robots, are

8:29

gonna take over all of cinema. The

8:33

film releases in theaters September 27th.

8:36

So let me see if I, that's

8:38

passed. Let me check, let

8:40

me do a quick Fandango. Let

8:43

me do a quick Tango with Fandango to see

8:45

if I'm able to. What if Fandango had an

8:47

option, where it's like, you can get in for

8:49

free if you're the guy during the scene. Will

8:52

you please be the guy during the scene?

8:54

Do you think there's someone who goes see

8:57

Megalopolis a hundred million times, just

8:59

so that they can

9:01

have that experience of being the guy in the

9:03

scene over and over? Maybe they can put it

9:05

in their IMDb credits. I never had

9:07

a major breakout role, but I was the guy in the scene

9:09

of 21 screenings of

9:12

Megalopolis. I was in the stage

9:14

production of Megalopolis. Huntington, West Virginia,

9:16

where I could see Vindicating Trump

9:18

at three different times, but can't

9:21

see Megalopolis once. Shame.

9:24

For shame. For shame. Hey,

9:28

this is still an advice show. We still

9:30

are all about helping people here, even

9:33

if you can't see Megalopolis in

9:35

your neighborhood. And don't. And

9:37

don't. Maybe don't. It don't sound very

9:39

good. You don't have to. I saw somebody say,

9:41

you know what, just wait till it comes to

9:43

streaming and then make the choice every day not

9:45

to watch it. I mean, here's

9:47

how I'm gonna consume this film. In

9:50

a year, in short

9:52

clips on TikTok, of people saying, check

9:54

this rowdy shit. And I'll be like, don't mind if

9:56

I do. I got it in and out. Everything I

9:58

need out of Megalopolis. in four minutes.

10:01

Thank you so much. Yeah,

10:05

also Joker. I can't

10:07

believe a new Joker. This is just fucking like him

10:09

too. He snuck one in there

10:11

on us. First Joker, everyone

10:13

was talking about Joker. This Joker, I

10:15

feel like not everyone's talking about Joker.

10:18

Isn't that interesting? That's what

10:20

makes him the craziest. Yeah. If

10:23

you stop paying attention to that guy for

10:25

even one second, it makes him so crazy.

10:27

And that's wild, because the people that often

10:29

love to talk about the Joker the most,

10:31

I would think they would love it when

10:34

like a woman joins the main cast as

10:36

like a counterpart to him.

10:38

Is there a more damning critique

10:41

that a film or

10:43

television review can lay

10:45

on something than this

10:48

piece of media under utilizes Lady

10:50

Gaga? That makes me, all

10:53

of a sudden I'm mad about the film that could

10:55

have been, which was a kick ass Joker flick. Stephanie's

10:58

talent underutilized. It

11:01

makes me want to throw up on the floor. Yeah,

11:03

this is an advice show. I've been painting

11:05

every week for the past two years. Good

11:08

for you. It's

11:10

a weird metric, isn't

11:12

it? For how often? Once a week. Once a

11:14

week? I mean, usually. Yeah, how do you keep

11:16

track? It seems like you do it on Wednesday

11:19

afternoons. Very strange. And then you put a mark up

11:21

on the wall. Maybe it's a weekly painting class. I

11:24

will say this, man. If I

11:26

had an artistic endeavor, like painting

11:28

or writing or something that I

11:30

could consistently do even just once

11:32

a week, I would

11:35

never shut up about it. Would I be

11:37

able, do you think this is how healthy

11:39

people are? Do you think that if I

11:41

got into something like this and I did

11:43

it, maybe I, what if

11:45

I did it hyper fixate on it?

11:47

Or how's fixate at all? What

11:50

if I just did it sometimes? What

11:53

if, this would be weird. What if

11:55

I didn't do it sometimes, but

11:57

didn't feel guilty about that? and

12:00

lose interest if you went more than 24 hours.

12:04

I often think, wouldn't it be wild

12:06

to simply incorporate a new

12:08

thing seamlessly into my life without

12:11

it being my new defining feature?

12:13

Yeah, wouldn't it be interesting to have

12:15

a passing interest in a hobby and

12:17

not sprint to the closest fucking social

12:19

media? You're having scream into it. This

12:21

is my entire identity now. Never

12:24

talk to me about anything else. Look at the hundreds

12:26

of dollars I spent on this before ever doing a

12:28

single second of it. Megalopolis was right in this regard.

12:30

Every one of you guys have seen right now. This

12:32

one regard, Megalopolis was right. I

12:35

have entire drawers in my kitchen

12:37

where if I open it up,

12:39

I am confronted by a

12:41

museum of my temporary

12:44

interests in

12:47

perhaps say baking a bread or

12:49

making a hard candy. I see

12:51

the different food droplets, the flavor

12:53

juice for the hard candy, and I think,

12:55

boy, I should get back to using that.

12:57

It won't happen. It won't do that. So

13:00

the next sentence of the

13:02

question. Since I have so

13:04

many paintings, sometimes I like

13:06

to imagine the question askers standing there patiently. Yes,

13:09

they, I mean that happens to me in live shows

13:11

quite often. Just whenever you're ready, chef. Since

13:14

I have so many paintings, I often donate

13:16

or gift them. Recently, I painted a particularly

13:18

cute fox taking a bubble bath. I posted

13:20

it on socials and a friend commented how

13:22

much they loved it. Foolishly, I offered it

13:24

to them. Problem is, I've

13:26

since fallen in love with it, I no longer

13:29

want to give it away. Is there a way

13:31

I can take back my offer? Can I offer

13:33

joint custody? Maybe they can come visit the painting

13:35

when they're feeling down, or do I have to

13:37

avoid my friend forever? That's from Alva. Additional

13:40

info, I see this friend about once a

13:42

month, usually at a mutual friend's house, pick

13:44

of the painting attached. This

13:47

is, first of all, a

13:50

primo photograph. I mean,

13:52

this is a primo painting. I

13:55

called it a photograph because it looks like it could be,

13:57

titled Sly Guy. Yeah,

14:00

we got ourselves a fox in a bubble bath

14:03

with a ducky in it and a lot of

14:05

just a prismatic sort of Damn fine color. A

14:07

smattering of bubbles. It's really, I love the colors

14:09

in it. Um, what

14:13

a great painting. Like obviously, like easily the best

14:15

painting of a fox in a bathtub I've ever

14:17

seen. Yeah. Sure, sure. Not even close. I

14:20

have a few pieces of art

14:22

in my kitchen that I commissioned

14:24

from a local artist, Brandy Jefferies,

14:26

and they are pictures of food

14:28

you can get in Huntington, West Virginia.

14:30

Yes. The Jolly Pirate Donut one, the

14:32

still life is my favorite. They're all,

14:35

yeah, they are. I should mention they're

14:37

all still lifes because they are food.

14:39

The, the, uh... And

14:41

painting. Yeah, and painting. Can you, I can

14:44

take a portrait of some Jolly Pirate Donuts

14:46

I think. I guess. Uh, so, uh...

14:49

A sculpture? It's a sculpture of still life because

14:51

it ain't moving. That's a good point. No, it's

14:53

really a point. Uh, recently did a, a like

14:56

gallery show, uh, at

14:59

Smith Hall at Marshall and she asked if

15:01

she could like borrow the, them as like

15:03

part of the show. So like for

15:05

a few months, like my paintings were on loan.

15:08

This is where I get to the advice because

15:10

if you're like, yeah, absolutely take it. And then

15:12

one week later you're like, I

15:15

am actually doing a gallery show of

15:17

all my favorite foxes. And... That's

15:19

cool. Could I have that fox on

15:21

loan to the gallery show? And then

15:24

they're like, yeah, that's very prestigious. And then you take

15:26

it never another word about it ever. I mean, you

15:28

can also do that in reverse, right? Where

15:30

I can say like, where it's hanging in their

15:32

house with a little plaque that says on loan

15:35

from artists private gallery or whatever. That's cool. Because

15:38

frankly, if I had that in my house and

15:40

somebody saw that, now it's taken what is. That's

15:43

what, no, that's what I'm suggesting. I'm not

15:45

sure what we lost. But I'm saying it's

15:47

hanging in their house. Yeah, Justin, what Travis

15:49

is suggesting, and frankly, this is such a

15:51

good fucking idea that it seems bigger and

15:54

broader than this specific context, is

15:56

we start selling little plaques that say on

15:58

loan from the artist gallery. and you can

16:00

put those underneath every piece of art in

16:02

your house. All of a sudden, oh, this

16:05

must be good art. It's on loan from

16:07

the artist's gallery. Where did you get

16:09

this art? Oh my God,

16:11

the artist's gallery? Okay, now hold on.

16:15

Let me say instead, what

16:17

if we started selling companion plaques? Because

16:20

I put these up in my

16:22

house and they said, work currently on loan.

16:25

Oh, and it's just an empty space. Yes,

16:28

you don't have to own any art. You

16:31

can't just say, you just put these little guys in

16:34

your house anywhere. And it's like, this

16:36

piece currently on loan to

16:39

Metropolitan Museum of

16:41

Art or whatever. And it's like, we

16:44

should sell those. I've always been jealous

16:46

of a museum when they're like, oh,

16:50

there's a wing over there, but don't go

16:52

in there. Something exciting's coming, which is a

16:54

great cover for, we forgot to plan something

16:57

for this month in that wing. I wish

16:59

I could do that in my house that

17:01

when friends came over and I've like trashed

17:03

the bathroom, and there's just, I've

17:06

just really wrecked it in there. And there's just

17:08

like a plaque on the door that says like,

17:10

coming soon, something new and exciting. When you hear

17:12

about like some of these big museums, like 10%

17:15

of the collection is ever like

17:18

visible. And like 90% of it is

17:20

just in storage. And every time I

17:22

hear that, I'm like, can

17:25

I just buy some of it?

17:27

Yeah, sure, sure. Can I just,

17:29

is there some of the history that you would sell

17:31

me so I don't have

17:33

to come back later? Justin sort of

17:36

a reverse Indiana Jones. Yeah. Sort

17:39

of a like, it doesn't belong in a museum.

17:41

It belongs in my den. Like

17:43

if you're not even gonna show it, I'm

17:45

saying I got 20 bucks. Is there

17:47

any history I could have? I'll buy

17:49

the dumb shit, right? I'm not talking

17:51

about like a clarkophagus or whatever. It's

17:53

just like old. As long as it's

17:55

like old, I don't care. You got

17:57

coin back there? Like old tea potters.

18:00

or something, that's fine, I'll take it. This

18:02

is like a really old, it's like so old, I bought it

18:04

for $30. Okay, cool, man.

18:07

My thing is museums only showing 10% of the

18:09

collection. Let's go ahead and open up

18:11

nine more museums. How

18:13

cool would it be every day? That's fucking

18:16

C&E-fility stuff. How about you open the door,

18:19

let me poke around in the 90%? Let

18:21

us in the bathroom. I'll tell you. Let us in the

18:23

back room of the museum to have a quick butchers. Hey,

18:26

let me, hey, there's a room of

18:28

the museum labeled Kim Trails. I'm gonna go

18:30

in there and have a butchers. That's

18:33

okay by you. And then go room by

18:35

room with me and the photos I've taken

18:37

on my phone of the stuff I found

18:39

in storage and you justify to me why

18:41

that painting is on the wall but this

18:43

like, I found a fish in a jar

18:45

is an outfit. Why is the

18:47

painting better than the fish in a jar? You're

18:50

gonna know that he can lay me pretty low

18:52

just like I have in a butcher. Yeah,

18:55

I know, I got direct

18:57

synapse control of juice on

18:59

that one. I bet you though, what if

19:01

it does get a little rowdy back at the back room

19:03

of the museum and they're like, listen, we don't put it

19:05

out. We don't put it out

19:07

for a reason. Some of this stuff sucks shit.

19:10

I'm not gonna lie to you. And you

19:12

have a Claude Monet back here. Actually, that's

19:14

Claude Money and if you'll observe the art,

19:16

it's not very good. It

19:19

sucks out a lot. But we made a promise

19:21

to his grandma that we'd take it or whatever,

19:23

but we never said we'd display it. Yeah, most

19:25

of this shit is just grandma promises. Estate

19:28

sales where we just could not say

19:30

no. Claude Money died

19:32

and left behind a lot of really, really shitty

19:35

watercolor pieces. And like one good one, but we

19:37

can't remember which one it is and it's in

19:39

the same box so we just don't have the

19:41

same. I live in

19:43

a small apartment with my girlfriend and

19:46

it's absolutely falling apart. Our bathroom ceiling

19:48

is simply not there anymore. We're

19:50

moving soon and I'm gonna get some money

19:52

back out of this sour situation by going

19:54

through local tribunal. Okay,

19:57

so we have now exited our expertise

19:59

of. American law. Yeah.

20:02

And we have now entered into Canadian

20:04

law. Do they call it tribunal up

20:06

there? This is as a

20:08

Canadian law expert? Yeah. I

20:11

guess. Success. If Justin

20:13

McIlroy wasn't on sabbatical I

20:15

would I would ask him. Here's

20:17

the thing, our landlord is gonna be showing

20:19

this apartment soon but we don't want anyone

20:21

to live here. We wouldn't wish this on

20:23

our worst enemies. We also can't completely trash

20:25

the apartment to ward off prospective renters because

20:27

of the whole tribunal thing. Gotta go by

20:30

the book. Are there ways to scare off

20:32

prospective renters without tipping off the landlord? That's

20:34

from Desperate in Ottawa, Ontario. I

20:37

mean... Shake, shake, shake, senora.

20:39

Haunting is hot. Yes. That's

20:42

a little bit of that. But honestly Griffin in this

20:44

day and age, I think it's a selling point. I

20:47

don't think haunting is gonna scare people away

20:50

the way you do. BJ's bigger than ever.

20:52

BJ's huge right now. I

20:54

think that haunting

20:56

is one of those things that it is

20:58

attractive to a buyer until they have to

21:01

stay in the house for one night. And

21:03

maybe that should be maybe we should start

21:05

folding that into the option period to avoid

21:08

a sort of like the house has a secret red room

21:10

that tries to kill you when

21:12

you go inside of it. Because

21:15

I think one night living in a haunted house

21:17

like if one of those guys wakes

21:19

up one of my kids fucking

21:21

once. Yeah. That's toast

21:23

dude. I gotta get out of there. But that's

21:25

also good to have that

21:28

option because it could end up being

21:30

a very helpful chill ghost that I'm

21:32

happy to have there. And if somebody's

21:34

just like this house is haunted, I

21:36

don't want that to inherently wave me

21:38

off. Right? Because I don't know if

21:40

it's a good ghost or a bad ghost or what's

21:42

up. Are good ghosts even like a

21:45

thing so much anymore? If you think about how

21:48

many pieces of media we've gotten. I'm

21:51

just in film critic mode right?

21:53

And just talking about megalopolis has

21:55

really activated me into its full-blown

21:57

Ebert beast mode. I

22:00

think that we've gotten a lot of scary ghost

22:03

media and we haven't had a good Casper or

22:05

the Well, they

22:07

canceled Dead Boy Detectives. They were hopeful ghosts.

22:09

Cancel Dead Boy Detectives. I think that we

22:11

don't want good ghosts. We want bad boy

22:13

ghosts. We were creative about the show ghosts

22:16

because that keeps being on CBS, I think,

22:18

and some of you must be watching it.

22:20

Are those good ghosts? That's my wife. My

22:22

wife is watching that. They're making that. Oh,

22:24

thank her for me. It starts with the

22:26

audience barreling the camera saying, thank you, Teresa,

22:28

for watching ghosts. I

22:31

don't think in ghosts though, I think if

22:33

they had their druthers, certainly after the first

22:35

night, they would not, they would rather

22:38

not live in a house with ghosts. No,

22:40

they become friends over time. From what I've

22:43

seen casually walking through the room while Teresa

22:45

is watching it, they all become friends. He

22:47

has one hand up so he doesn't get

22:49

too scared. Yeah, yeah. I

22:52

mean, we used to like the idea of romantic ghosts,

22:55

what with the Swayze of it all. Yeah.

22:57

But now people, I think it's

22:59

just easier for us to parse

23:02

a ghost that is universally bad

23:04

because it allows us

23:06

to support our frontline Ghostbusters in

23:09

a way that I think is so problematic. You know what

23:11

I mean? Yeah. That's true, Travis. Thank you

23:13

to our first responders, which does

23:16

include the Ghostbusters. I've

23:19

been sitting here trying to think of how can

23:21

you leave them a secret message that when they

23:23

find it, they won't also think a ghost wrote

23:25

this. Yeah, fair, fair, fair. You can't

23:27

like write it on the shower door in

23:29

soap and so when they take a shower, if

23:31

they're taking a shower in there, they already done

23:33

bought the place. Yeah, that's not something you do

23:35

on the two-wear. Yeah.

23:37

How good are you with like a

23:39

disguise kit and makeup and stuff? Oh,

23:42

cool. You could go in while the landlord's

23:44

like showing it, right? And you join in

23:46

on the show. But here's the thing, you

23:48

don't want to seem negative because the landlord's

23:50

going to kick you out. So you're going

23:52

to positively mention all the negative things about

23:54

it. So like you're going to see like

23:56

I might be crazy. Like I like

23:58

how stinky it is. I love how the

24:04

bathroom ceiling is halfway to a skylight. We're almost at just a

24:06

little bit more crumbles away. We've got a skylight

24:08

going. I bet I could convince our upstairs neighbor

24:11

to smash through their floor so we could have

24:13

a full blown fire pull. Oh, I love that.

24:15

I love how nothing works. It really gives us

24:17

some projects to work on. Yeah. You

24:20

have to be scrappy in here. You should get

24:22

the blinds and make them so they're halfway up

24:24

on one side and halfway down the other side.

24:26

Dude, that sucks. That's a clear sign. I would

24:29

live in a place like that. And

24:31

some of them are clipped off on the

24:33

end. If they could open, you could see

24:36

there's a little square shape up. The fact

24:38

that someone invented those and stopped is absolutely

24:40

crazy. You were halfway down.

24:42

Someone walked into the lab and was like, that's pretty good, but how do they

24:45

go up and down? They're like, oh fuck, I don't

24:47

know. Let me fix that in eight seconds. It's like

24:49

the saran wrap guy. When the saran wrap guy's like,

24:51

hey, I finished. They're like, oh good, you've

24:53

been in there for years. What

24:55

is it? It's saran wrap.

24:57

It's perfect. This is good for

24:59

a draft. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's done.

25:02

I like how it all sticks to itself and doesn't do

25:04

anything right. When you use it every

25:06

time, is it supposed to have a gnarly tear so that

25:09

half of it is half as thin as the rest of

25:11

it fully stretched out like a manta ray tail? Yeah,

25:13

that's right. Now, I did design it for someone with eight

25:15

arms to use so they could keep it spread out all

25:17

the way and it wouldn't stick to itself the whole time.

25:19

It really seems like people are going to be doing a

25:21

violent tearing motion really close to this razor sharp serrated blade.

25:23

Do you think that's good or is that bad? Now,

25:26

does the blade cut the plastic?

25:28

It doesn't. No. Isn't

25:31

that it? It's funny. It's only

25:33

you. Just fingers. It doesn't cut plastic.

25:35

Oh, and then it just kind of glues down to the surface. Sometimes,

25:38

sometimes about one third of the time it's going to stay

25:40

on what you put it on. What

25:42

happens if I lose track of where it is on the roll? Well,

25:44

I'll throw it away. Yeah. New

25:46

roll. I guess. We've got

25:48

a narrow window of time here for a

25:50

very specific solution that I think would be

25:52

very good. They walk into the

25:55

room with the landlord there to give them

25:57

a tour and a bunch of there's

26:00

two bloody corpses on the ground. It's you pretending

26:02

to be, no dead bodies for real. It's you

26:04

pretending to be a dead person. You

26:07

have bones hanging from the ceiling and

26:09

you have written in red paint like

26:11

you're next and it

26:13

stinks so bad and there's like werewolf noises

26:16

and steam everywhere and they're like, this apartment

26:18

sucks, it's so scary. Two people have been

26:20

killed, I think, by a werewolf. We won't

26:22

take this place. Next day, Landlord comes back

26:25

like, what the fuck guys? You say Halloween.

26:28

Decorations we were doing. Oh,

26:30

I like that. We were doing

26:32

a haunted house for

26:35

some of the neighborhood kids and

26:37

you just happened to visit during that one

26:40

time. And also just quick side note, Landlord,

26:42

I hate you and I hate this place

26:45

and I hope you rot in hell. While

26:47

I got you, can I show you the ceiling hole?

26:50

That is not a feature in most departments. It's

26:53

cool sometimes because the plumbing exploded last week

26:55

but it was pretty easy for me to

26:58

diagnose it because of the ceiling hole. I

27:00

could see exactly where the problems were multiple

27:02

places. But for the most part, it's not

27:05

a good feature. I don't like it. I

27:07

don't like the ceiling. And I don't like you. Facebook?

27:12

Hit them up on the FB afterwards. Oh,

27:14

yeah, the runaround. Gotta bug the apartment, I

27:16

guess. But that's okay because it's your apartment

27:19

still technically. You can bug it for sure.

27:21

As your passing Landlord Landlord's running review, you

27:23

pat him on the back. What's that? You've

27:26

stuck a sign to his back that says,

27:28

this place sucks, get out. He's never gonna

27:30

see it. Yeah, or I

27:33

mean, he will change clothes eventually at

27:35

the end of the day. But

27:37

then he might be like, my house? What were these shirts? He

27:39

has to stitch it in the back of his coat and just

27:41

to- My shirt sucks? To high heavens, he never sees the back

27:43

of his own coat. Just lock the door,

27:45

don't let him in. Oh.

27:47

That was a- He would've come see him in the key.

27:49

Wall of a key. You're in there. If

27:52

Landlord comes by and he's like, why didn't

27:54

you unlock the door? He'd be like, the

27:56

lock broke. Have you seen this apartment? The

27:58

lock broke. Something- And it happened and

28:00

it doesn't work no more. You put a chair up against

28:02

it? I've seen that in movies. No one's ever getting through

28:05

that. Every knob coded

28:07

in jelly. Yeah.

28:11

And you don't know which knob is the right one. Ooh,

28:13

that's scary, isn't it? You walk up to the door

28:15

with 10 knobs all covered in jelly. You don't wanna

28:17

get a bunch of wrong guesses. Yeah, that's weird. And

28:19

have more jelly on you. And make that each jelly

28:21

is a different color, that's gonna really fuck with them.

28:24

Cause it's like, do they do different things? Yeah.

28:27

I'm wearing a green shirt. So I'll

28:29

go with the green jelly, just to sort of minimize

28:31

my- The DM's laid out all the clues. Uh-huh.

28:36

Is there any kind of markings on the door that would

28:38

clue me which color jelly I wanna

28:40

fuck with? Get a wild fox

28:42

in there. Just going absolutely ape

28:44

shit. A

28:47

wild fox comes out of the bathtub and just tears

28:49

the place the fuck apart. Landlord comes by the next

28:51

day, like what the fuck guys? And you're like, do

28:53

you think we put a wild fox? Do

28:56

you think we put the wild fox in our-

28:58

Wait, wait, wait, wait, we live here. The structural

29:00

integrity of this place has been compromised. On that

29:02

we can all agree. Surely the fox could have

29:04

found its way in a thousand different ways. I

29:06

think he climbed up in between the drywall, like in

29:08

the matrix. I wouldn't put it past

29:11

a fox to do that. You could also

29:13

just put saran wrap all over everything. Well,

29:15

that's seems

29:17

like intentional prankery. Maybe you have to buy

29:20

saran wrap. Ah, damn it. Yeah, it's not

29:22

great. We are

29:24

going to one day look back and try and

29:26

remember which episode. We spent a long

29:28

time dunking on saran wrap and we will never be

29:30

able to remember it. Never ever. We have to add

29:32

it to the compilation because I try to bring it

29:34

up pretty regularly. Oh, okay. Hey, can

29:37

we take a break to do

29:39

a brief advertisement? Sure, this week

29:41

we're sponsored by saran wrap. Oh

29:43

no. Oh shoot, farts.

29:46

Oh, shoot, farts. Oh, shoot, farts. Oh, shoot,

29:48

farts. Oh, shoot, farts. Oh,

29:51

shoot, farts. Oh, shoot, farts. Oh, shoot, farts.

29:53

Oh, shoot, farts. Oh, shoot, farts. Oh,

29:56

shoot, farts. Oh, shoot, farts. I want you to tell me about

29:58

rocket money. But I want you to tell me about... like

34:00

you're reading it. Make it

34:02

sound something like what's here. Okay.

34:04

So it's like a deception then? Oh,

34:09

we're lying. It's like

34:11

a deception. It's not, it's show. It's

34:14

show, it's a willing deception. It's

34:16

a business. It's a partnership. Okay. So

34:19

this is where the business meets

34:21

show, Travis. You find yourself actually

34:23

at the intersection of show and

34:25

business right now. Okay. And

34:27

what I was saying, you're going so deep

34:29

into show. You've got a track

34:31

of business. We gotta bring business back.

34:33

Okay. It says here that

34:35

I'm gonna share a personal experience with Stitch Fix. So

34:38

I, the temperature is getting

34:40

lower. Oh, personal, okay. I

34:42

needed some new garments in

34:45

a longer profile, a more

34:47

warming profile. I don't know

34:49

how to dress myself and I don't wanna go to the mall.

34:52

So I asked Stitch Fix to help and they did.

34:54

They sent me some garments. I kept

34:56

what I like. I sent back what

34:58

I didn't. Guess what I sent back? None of it,

35:01

right? I didn't send back any of it because I

35:03

loved their choices. I've been using

35:05

Stitch Fix for a long time, but I also found

35:07

a couple of clothing brands that I also like to

35:09

start buying clothes from them too. And then in my

35:11

last Stitch Fix, they started sending clothes from those brands.

35:14

I don't know how they knew, but damn, they

35:17

made ship even easier for me. I

35:19

also use Stitch Fix and they sent me

35:21

a box full of toys. Then it's device.

35:24

They sent them a box full of toys just for

35:26

Travis. They

35:29

brought me a box full of toys for free.

35:31

They gave Travis a free box. Now

35:35

hold on Justin, should we say that? My ad

35:37

is almost done. And the final part of

35:39

this ad is that I say, make style easy.

35:42

Get started today at Stitch Fix. I read

35:44

this part exactly. It's yellow. But

35:48

I try to make it sound like energy, like something

35:50

you'd wanna do. Listen to how I do

35:52

with my voice, okay? Make style easy.

35:54

Get started today at Stitch fix.com.

35:57

Slash brother, that's a URL.

36:00

Okay. Okay. And then it says

36:02

get Stitch Fix or get fucked. It does.

36:06

I don't think we're supposed to make up stuff. Now you've lied

36:08

in the ad. Now you've lied in the ad. That's

36:10

an FCC thing. Okay. Now you're

36:12

up against the FCC. Now you

36:14

got a trial. That's stitchfix.com/brother. Okay.

36:18

Now you do what? This bit

36:21

is so far outside

36:23

the expectations of what these advertisers

36:25

want. It would actually be super cool of

36:27

you all to maybe go to one of

36:30

those links that we say just, and maybe

36:32

they'll think like, is this the future of

36:34

advertising? It's like meta, meta, deep meta comedy.

36:36

Meta, meta, chicken, data. All right, here we

36:39

go. Chicken dinner. Squarespace.

36:44

When I, when I. Match

36:49

my tempo. Okay. So

36:52

personal connection. Squarespace. I

36:55

was stood up for my sophomore

36:57

homecoming dance. It

36:59

was. It's the intensity that I'm trying to generate

37:01

for you, Griffin. I'm hearing nothing. It is a

37:03

little distracting just to have my being honest. You're

37:05

the standing clapping. I will say, if you could

37:07

cut, if you could put the kibosh on that,

37:09

it's hard to. I'll clap over here. Squarespace. Personal

37:11

connection. I was stood up. I've got dumped like

37:14

two days before my homecoming dance in high school.

37:18

So that's about as personal as I can

37:20

go. Yeah, that's right, go. And then it

37:22

says, it does say that Squarespace, and now

37:24

I've said the name of the business, and

37:26

I'll go off the dome for a bit. Does

37:28

the most bitchin' website. Okay, what if

37:30

they don't want you to curse? Did

37:33

you ask? You didn't say that in your lesson,

37:35

so I didn't even consider that. Did you ask?

37:38

No. How do I do that? Customers

37:41

King. Okay. Listener always comes first, customers

37:43

King. Wait, which one is it? Let me try again.

37:46

Squarespace. I'll never forget

37:48

the day I got my first pubic

37:50

hair. Okay. This is no

37:54

notes actually. It's really. Off the

37:56

dome, Squarespace helps you build great

37:58

websites. I've used Squarespace. and I

38:00

built a great website. That's the personal

38:02

connection. It's not an incredibly personal detail. I

38:05

got confused. I saw a personal connection in my notes and

38:07

I thought maybe I'll tell the pube story. It's fucking funny. I

38:09

can hand it all to you, but it's so much more gratifying

38:11

to see you discover it. Yes. So

38:14

Squarespace, I've used to make a website for myself

38:16

and it's great and it looks super good. I

38:18

don't know fucking anything about most stuff and I

38:21

made a kick ass website and that's true of

38:23

all three of us. So the proof's

38:25

in the pudding and the pudding is- The

38:27

website. We are the pudding. But Squarespace,

38:29

it's the all in one website platform. If

38:31

you're an entrepreneur, you gotta stand out online.

38:33

Squarespace is the place you do it because

38:36

it lets you make a beautiful website and

38:38

engage with your audience and sell anything. The

38:41

content, the time that you have, all

38:43

in one place, all on your terms. He's

38:45

becoming gin. It's so

38:47

easy. They have like a bunch of different templates

38:50

for you to choose from. Oh man, he

38:52

said templates. Is it because I said templates?

38:54

Damn it. Tiplets. Fuck man. Do

38:57

I have to start all the way, do you start

38:59

all the way over when you fuck up that bad?

39:01

Start over, match my tempo. Okay. I'll

39:06

never forget the day I got my first view. No, just

39:09

wrap it up. So

39:11

anyway, you pick from these templates and you have all

39:13

these options and it makes it easy and they have

39:15

all these different checkout options if you sell stuff and

39:17

you can upload videos and put them behind a paywall

39:19

39:21

could not be easier. Go to

40:52

Welcome to munch squad.

40:55

Hi, Count D. Podcast within

40:57

podcast profiling the latest and

41:00

greatest in brand eating. Count,

41:02

I have to compliment your luxurious

41:04

new cape. Yeah. Thank

41:07

you, the cat has not found the right

41:09

to piss on this one. Yeah, she'll get

41:11

there. It's a beautiful winter, like fall,

41:13

winter, cool months kind of cape. I

41:16

want to piss on that and I'm human.

41:18

The temperature is dropping, which

41:21

can only mean one thing. Spooky

41:23

season is finally a pain. What season?

41:26

Spooky season. Spark my swing of pain.

41:29

You said it differently both of those times.

41:31

Spooky season. Spide my way. You can't do

41:33

it in the same way too done. Nowhere

41:36

is this scarier than in the world of

41:38

donuts around this time of year because, oh

41:40

boy, we got

41:42

a lot of those scary ones. Everybody wants to do

41:44

a scary donut. Hell yeah, man.

41:47

The first- Make us shit our pants

41:49

with these terrifying donuts. Duck donuts have

41:52

what you didn't know as the spooky box.

41:56

I mean, it's got the candy, a

41:59

spider and- vanilla flavored orange buttercream

42:01

on one of them. And there's

42:03

a crunchy spider you eat. Gross.

42:06

Oh, gross. No way. I'm not

42:09

gonna eat a spider. That's too

42:11

scary. There's a werewolf one that

42:13

has maple icing and chopped bacon

42:15

and raspberry drizzle. Like

42:17

blood, awesome. It's so cool. I like

42:19

like horror, like gory horror movies. So

42:22

I see that and I think, wow,

42:24

a blood donut. Cool. If

42:26

these cowards had the conviction to do

42:28

it, they would make it filled with

42:30

like raw meat. They'd be like, this

42:32

isn't just a donut that looks like

42:34

a werewolf. It's a donut for werewolves.

42:36

Come on, coward. There's so many stories

42:38

that I have to cover. Okay.

42:41

Like for instance, did you know that Duncan

42:44

is also doing Halloween things this year?

42:46

No way. Well, they kind of do

42:48

every year, don't you think? They have

42:50

the, they have this famous iconic

42:53

donut that they bring back. Do you know this

42:55

one? The spider web? The

42:57

spider donut. But they

42:59

have hauntingly delicious no treats this

43:01

year. Beginning October 16th,

43:04

the guests can enjoy a brand new

43:07

lineup headlined by

43:09

the potion, Magiado. What

43:12

now? You heard me, the

43:14

potion, Magiado. Let me show you

43:16

a picture of it. Then you tell me what you

43:18

see. Oh.

43:21

Okay, so this is Jesus Christ. So

43:24

it's, it looks like a good three

43:26

to four inch layer of

43:28

dark coffee on top of the

43:30

grimace shake. Like this night. Is

43:33

it ice? And it's got to

43:35

grimace shake at the bottom half of it. The bottom

43:37

half is a grimace shake. Now, what they've

43:39

done here. Did you fuck with the grimace shake, Count

43:41

Donut? I know,

43:43

we didn't get them where I

43:46

live. Transylvania? Spain.

43:49

What they've done here that I think is

43:52

an interesting stylistic choice is

43:56

they did make the bottom half

43:58

of the potion, Magiado. match

44:00

everything around it, making it seem like

44:02

a mistake that it looks that way.

44:05

It doesn't really pop out as delicious

44:09

in any way. If

44:11

you are telling me that when they

44:13

make one of these potion macchiatas, what

44:16

we have between the coffee layer and the

44:18

grim-a-shake layer is a razor-thin,

44:22

firm, just hallow-cline, like where you see

44:25

the warm water and the cold water

44:27

pressing up. Like this is oil and

44:29

water. There is no way this keeps

44:31

that definition when we're

44:34

on the field. Every single

44:36

potion macchiato takes 20 minutes to make

44:38

and 19 minutes to that is the

44:40

person carefully pouring the thing on top

44:42

of the dungkin mix. With a dropper.

44:45

We've also got another,

44:47

the spider donut. Do

44:49

you see this? Yeah, I love him.

44:52

It's different though. They've changed it.

44:55

They did change it, didn't they? The

44:57

owner of the new purple cute brew,

44:59

Duncan's beloved spider specialty donut is getting

45:01

a makeover for the spooky season. The

45:04

formerly orange frosted donut is adorned

45:07

with purple frosting this year. And

45:10

as always, top of the glazed chocolate

45:12

munchkin donut. Don't treat, I

45:15

don't like this at all. If

45:17

you like me, happened to buy two

45:20

different inflatables that

45:25

are based around this exact donut.

45:29

Sorry, count donut, you have two

45:31

different Dunkin' Donuts

45:33

inflatables. Right, so

45:36

I thought it would be a limited time

45:38

promotion. So I

45:40

purchased two in case anything ever happened

45:42

to one. This is, so

45:45

count donut has now shown us

45:47

the Dunkin' website where they

45:49

were selling a spider donut inflatable,

45:51

but it's orange. So like, when

45:54

did they sell this? Did they sell this this year?

45:56

Well, they're still selling it currently. This

45:59

feels like the- two of them. It feels

46:01

like the makings of a class action lawsuit if

46:03

I'm being exactly like totally honest. I

46:05

just feel like you shouldn't sell a balloon of something you're going to

46:07

change. Yeah, I think- For me,

46:09

this says parminous. I

46:12

love the spider donut so much because it

46:14

wasn't until I saw it for the first

46:16

time that the thought of putting a donut

46:18

hole in the donut hole had ever crossed

46:21

my mind. It feels

46:23

wild to me that I've never just like, I

46:25

can fix that. It

46:28

makes so much sense. I want

46:30

to show you some more of their Halloween

46:32

offerings. Here's what I got for spooky season,

46:34

boys. It's all punking,

46:36

skier. We've

46:40

got the dumb kids truck jacket and

46:42

pants. You're finally, all your kids, your

46:44

kids can dress like Benjamin

46:47

and his friend. Matthew?

46:49

Matthew. Is that- This is

46:52

for spooky season in that their assumption

46:54

is not just adults, but children will

46:56

be like, you know who I want

46:58

to be. They are selling

47:01

an $80 matching Dunkin

47:03

Donuts track jacket and pants for

47:05

children to put this on your

47:07

children. This young

47:09

girl that they have in the

47:11

photograph does look like she is

47:14

an inmate in a correctional

47:16

facility who has been sponsored by Dunkin

47:18

in such a major, major program. They

47:20

are selling a Dunkin's track jacket, hat,

47:23

and pants, or for $45, you can

47:25

get a Halloween

47:28

costume. There's a lower grade version

47:30

of the next show. They

47:32

have their own spirit Halloween, like

47:34

knockoff, right next to it.

47:36

They have their spirit Halloween

47:39

themselves. You can get this

47:41

donut fan costume. Voodoo donuts

47:43

introduce the turtle cheesecake donut

47:45

to raise money for cancer

47:48

awareness. Hey, voodoo donuts, you're

47:50

bumming us out. Moving on.

47:54

Some of us are trying to have a little

47:56

fun over here. And

48:01

it's for a good cause this

48:03

guy isn't even a donut but

48:05

look at this carville crunchy munchy

48:07

monster I love him. I actually

48:09

love crunchy munchy Incredible

48:14

I just didn't want you guys to miss

48:16

him. He's not even about me. I just

48:18

love this guy I didn't know that like

48:20

so much I didn't know your interests like

48:22

hoved away from donuts for some for you

48:24

know sometimes I'm a Multi-layered

48:27

person I

48:32

48:34

48:36

48:39

48:45

Lastly I did want to mention old

49:56

for with the idea being that

49:59

you would Take this bucket of

50:01

Timbits once it's been completed with all

50:03

31 Timbits inside. Here's

50:08

the quote. Tim Hortons is

50:10

here to help you celebrate Halloween this

50:12

year with all treats, no tricks! Stop

50:15

in to enjoy our delicious new chocolate

50:17

50:33

many guests' Halloween traditions and are

50:35

looking forward to seeing parents share photos of

50:37

their adorable trick or treaters with their glow

50:39

in the dark Timbits buckets this year.

50:42

Says Katarina Gliptis, the president

50:44

of Tim Hortons US. Can

50:47

you scroll back up for me? You want to see that picture

50:49

again? Yeah. If

50:52

that's the same size as the cup,

50:55

that's not very big Tim Hortons. No,

50:57

there's been a little bit of Photoshop

50:59

mistakeory happening here. Yes, they've had some

51:02

problems. I

51:04

mean straight up Ronald stopped

51:07

watching the

51:09

throne for a second. Because McDonald's

51:11

was the chief of the Halloween

51:13

Trick or Treat bucket game and

51:16

they must have been throwing it in for a

51:18

while now. Yeah. I also

51:20

want to say that when I take

51:22

my children to go trick or treating,

51:25

they better come back with more

51:27

than 31 Timbits worth of candy.

51:29

Yeah. This is an embarrassing small.

51:32

Look at this. If I am

51:34

lucky enough to have children of my own,

51:37

this is what I like. Are you trying?

51:40

That's a really personal question. Such a personal question. Well,

51:42

we've known each other for a really long time now.

51:45

It's so personal, it feels weird even to

51:47

ask an imaginary character. Let's

51:49

text him. Let's text Count Donut

51:51

about his fertility in our group text chain

51:53

that we have when we're not recording the

51:55

podcast. But listen, this is what I wanted

51:57

to point out. Look at this bucket. Duncan

52:01

is introduced to sing a Halloween

52:03

munchkins bucket and must have for

52:06

trick or treat this holiday. The

52:08

purple bucket, illustrated with a sweet

52:10

Halloween motif, can be filled with

52:12

a 50 count assortment of

52:14

munchkins on the dot tree. Holy shit man. The

52:17

bar has been raised. If

52:20

you gave me a

52:22

bucket with 50 dunkies

52:25

in it, I

52:27

would get into some trouble that way. You're going to

52:29

fill it up with candy. There's a quote here I

52:31

meant to read from Duncan.

52:35

At Duncan, we love keeping

52:37

guests fueled through every season,

52:39

and Halloween is no exception.

52:41

With beloved treats like our

52:43

spider donut and new menu

52:46

items like the potion macchiato,

52:48

we're excited to give customers

52:50

a delicious play to celebrate

52:52

the spooky season, says Beth

52:54

Turn, the vice president

52:56

of category. Vice

53:00

president of category management at Duncan. You

53:03

sound like a very confused

53:05

Cerberus at the moment. Whether it's

53:07

picking up a munchkins bucket for

53:09

trick or treating or sharing festive

53:11

donuts with friends and family, or

53:13

invalidating the kick ass balloon you

53:15

bought about the donut last year.

53:19

We've got everything you need to

53:22

make Halloween a little sweeter. That's

53:25

what everyone is doing. I

53:28

will remind everyone as I do

53:30

whenever Duncan is mentioned here that

53:32

there are donuts already in edible

53:34

and they shouldn't consume them with

53:36

your human body. They

53:38

don't the donuts. There are uphangs and

53:40

jokes and you shouldn't eat them. You're

53:43

better than nothing. Why local? Come

53:45

on. By little thing. But unless

53:48

you live in Boston, in which case Duncan

53:51

is local, then I thought you got. Hey,

53:53

speaking of local, next week.

53:55

Oh, wait, we get good. You can be excused, Count Donut.

53:57

You don't have to do all of our back matter business.

54:00

Oh, that's okay. I already let him go.

54:02

He had a catch. Wow. He didn't say

54:04

bye or anything. He had an uber waiting

54:07

Oh, but he could have said no. His

54:09

an uber pool. I'll text him. Yeah. Okay. Yeah,

54:11

I'll text him I'll be like that. Hey man.

54:13

Sorry. We didn't get to say bye. I had

54:15

a great time in the show with you today

54:17

Also, are you trying? Are you trying? How
