MBMBaM 788: Blame It On the Full Beaver Supermoon

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 mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? What, it's the side of something beautiful, a small quainton has blossomed, it's rapping 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 a living life, it's better, it's better with you, it's better with you, my life, it's better, it's better with you, this is true, it's better, it's better with you, my life, it's better with you, my life, it's better with you, hello everybody, and welcome to my brother, my brother and me, an advice show for the engineer, I'm your always brother, Justin McRoy, that was crazy, I didn't like it, I didn't like it, what's up Trap Nations, me and my brother, Trap's the big dog Wolf Wolf, zoom from McRoy, did you say zoom from? I did. Hey, what's up, Trap Nation, it's Griff, my own it, God the vibe is, the vibes are already so strange, don't you guys think, how long would you be? Yeah, blame it, blame it on the full beaver superman. I would love to blame it on the full beaver superman Trap, because you do keep saying that and out loud a lot, and you do keep blaming stuff on it, like you were, I slept bad, I slept bad last night, thinking as much sleep as I would have liked, I told my friend about it. And you were like 10 minutes late for this recording, was that the, yeah, it's morning, yeah, and I told my friend about it, and she said blame it on the superman, and I've decided to do that on everything, okay, what it, can you tell me I guess to start out before you start, before I started signing blame to stuff, because I'm pretty good at that. What's a full beaver, he's the youngest child, I mean, it's what I, yeah, it's my God-given job, right? He does, right? He doesn't take blame for it. He's not his fault. What's a full beaver superman? Thank you for asking, Griffin. So, do you know what a full moon is? A hunter's moon, yes. A full moon, yes. I believe you think you're describing the hunter's moon, I mean, we can call it a beaver hunter superman if you'd rather do that. Yeah. You get that kind of a hunter, superman fighter, superman, tattooed alien, super hunter fighter moon, fighter's from Beverly Hills. Hell yeah dude. Hell yeah dude. Hell yeah dude. CMT, yeah. CMT, yeah. CMT, yeah, CMT, yeah, CMT, yeah, CMT, yeah, get them in there. Yeah, yeah, so what's a full beaver superman? A beaver moon is in November when beavers build shelters, Native Americans and early American colonists will call the full moon in November, a beaver moon, okay. And then superman is when there's a full moon when the moon is at its closest orbit to the earth. So it looks super big. Okay. Yeah. It's the full beaver superman. Okay. Okay. And then there's a synergistic tummy together to make me sleep bad and be 10 minutes later. Is it the closeness in the business of the moon and it's like putting like a little bit of extra four, like gravitational force on your eyes or that it's looking at me real close. Yeah. You know, like I know it's there and I occasionally have to hide myself away from the full beaver superman so it can't see my nudity. Yeah. A lot of it is that? Yeah. I'm still reeling from the time change. I don't know how I'm going to adjust to this right now because I'm still feeling like blaming on the full beaver superman. Okay. But I'm still blaming the time change. I'm going to run out of excuses before a long time. Yeah. Are they working together? Are they? As far as I know, the full beaver superman caused the time change. Okay. Okay. Okay. I would actually prefer that. However, if we were changing the time based on celestial movements and actual, a tangible stuff and not just because of some farmers or whatever felt like it 300,000 years ago, if it was moon-based? Fuck yeah. Okay. Whatever. Sure. I'll change the clock based on the moon. I don't want to change it based on an idea Benjamin Franklin had once one time. I just think that if we're going to give that power to farmers, we should extend it to other industries. Yes. And it should be like fast food workers. Okay. Every April, we said the clock's forward 15 minutes so that Derek's not late for a shift anymore. Right? But then at the end of April, we move it back 22 minutes. Yeah. Derek's saving time is cool. Derek. Fired. Derek. Disappointment time. April is when we clear all of Derek's warnings. Yeah. Right? And then at the end. And then at the end of March, Derek's to bear it time. But then in May, when the clocks have moved back for 22 minutes, now it's time to get your shit together, Derek, because you're 22 minutes late now. Yeah. That's a fireable offense, according to Denise. Yeah. Hey. Hey, can we send jokes other than for a second, speaking of these like government shifts? Yeah. Oh. These huge government policy shifts. Okay. If we could send jokes that don't present. I went to the inner geek. You went to the wild. The inner geek, Pullman Square, if you come in for candlelight, you should go visit them. Went to the inner geek and Pullman Square. There was a sign up outside that said, due to the discontinuation of pennies in 2026, we will no longer be accepting pennies. Awesome. Guys. Did you guys know that they were going to stop doing pitons? No. Be honest. No, I'm Googling this right now. Okay. Okay. So I've been asking them. Yeah. And they are at that moment. And they never do fucking anything we fucking I've been asking them about this one thing for ever. And we are the, I've been asking for this forever and it happened in May and everything sucks so much and it's changing so much and how it sucks. There's this one thing I wanted to change and it did and I missed it. Yeah. They took care of the number one issue though, Justin. There's a lot happening right now and they dealt with the biggest one. But it is like one of those pet peeve things of like every conversation, I'd get a little bit like maybe people would be a little bit careful. Maybe people are careful about bringing up pennies around me because I don't even mention JC pennies around Justin. Yeah. Yeah. He might fly off the handle. I've had a sign like that like about a week ago, Jamian, and then is that how you found out about it? Because Travis, that would be almost to the day when I saw this. This is my finding out about it right now. And it opened up my eyes. And then like two days ago I got changed from somewhere and I was handed five brand new bright shiny pennies. Gotta go out with the bank. So new, they looked fake with like the shield on the back so I know these are new. Yeah. Cause they're like, and I think that they're just like we need to get all the pennies out of the stock room. We got so many pennies. This makes a lot of sense now guys because I was walking down the street yesterday and I ran into Penny Marshall, the famed actress and the Verne Turley and she was see through like fucking back to the future. I think that's because she is a girl. She passed away. Oh, she passed away. She's got quite like a few years ago. That's okay. It's a Halloween. Oh. Okay. What I saw was a Halloween show. I also googled this penny thing and a lot of news stories are like retailers retailers warn shoppers. You might not get your exact change back because we're running out of pennies and that's cool. Does it go the other way? Does it go the other way where we can be like, you may not get your exact price. You may not get your price. You want for it because you tell me where to find a fucking penny. You can't charge me 549 for something and it needs to be easily divisible by five or else. Fuck you dude. Yeah. You know what would be cool and a great way to get rid of pennies get rid of sales tax on that. Oh my god. You know I'm realizing once we're done with pennies, things won't be 99 anymore, right? Can't be. Can't be 99. Can't be. Got to be $5. Good. $5 foot long. Finally. Yeah. Yeah. Finally. They don't make me more. But if they still did, I would be able to get a $5 foot long for $5 and 30. I checked this out. You guys ready for this shit? Next, then dimes, then quarters, then money, currency. Can we be done? Can we? You know what? I love over in other countries. What? They're doing fat coins for them. Dude. I love this. Dude, I love this. I know we tried fat coins for dollars before, once before and then we gave up other countries that figured this out. They've got these big fat coins with gold in them and you'll want to hold them like a $12. You find a coin in there and it might be a candy bar. That feels good. You know? I recently-- Get that feeling over here. I was recently handing. A jingle jangle over there could be a lunch of mushy pees. You got to stop doing whatever you're doing under the desk right now, Justin. I'm juggling the change in my pocket. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just the change in my blue. When I'm handed gold dollars here in the US of A, it's fun because I know like, Well, I'll have these forever because I I can't imagine a scenario in which I have the confidence to both pay with cash and these de bloons. Yeah, every once in a while, you used to see machines that would have a picture of the second jewelry coin. I'm be like, "We accept these. You might as well take flows." Like, what do you mean? Yeah, no way. Anyways, believe me. I'm on the full-beard for Superman. I do. There you go. Get it all the pennies. This is an advice show, Travis. Okay. Well, sorry. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. I didn't know. Here's my advice. Okay. The show is talking. The show is exclusively done. I want to be a cool dude that casually gives out fist bumps. How do you become one? That's from fists up, Ontario. Hmm. Seems like a simple question, but I suspect it might not be so simple. So, we have a big stinker. Is your big stinker energy because of the full-beard super moon? Or is it because of the penny being faced? You're also giving a little bit of like Jonathan Frakes, like the strange, but true kind of feeling of like. This might seem easy, but not for, but could it be? Not for these three boys. Let's see. Is it? Have you ever considered fist bumping? It was a great night politically. Hmm. And I guess I just want to be excited about the fact that pennies are finally going to, we're finally getting rid of them. Yeah. And I guess I'm always excited about that. But I will tone down the energy. Thank you. You're going to be a big stinker. If you're going to be a stinker, a big stinker, we've gotten feedback from the fans a lot. And they're saying, you three dads are bringing too much fucking gusto week in week out. You're, you're, you're zapping off the rails and we need you to cool your jets a little bit. Speaking out. Well, hey, briefly, before we get to our first question, I did want to point out a new addition here. You're not about to grab that lumpy nasty gourd. Are you? No, we don't need to see a gourd again. I do not grab that fucked up gourd. Oh boy. You won. You got a little pump. Yeah. A little pump. And I just want to say thanks to everybody who supported the Huntington Children's Museum. It does say H.C.M. kids, pumpkin, carving, champ, biggest muscles just doesn't say big muscles. 25. It's implied. Okay. I like a small truck. I don't know how I carved it without the biggest one. I like that. It's small too. So I like that it's a really, really small trophy. A lot of people only care about big trophies, but like it's the prize. The prize is not the size of the trophy is not sort of intrinsic to the value of the prize. It's not tall, but it's very wide. Yeah. I do like that. So I think fist bumps, easy answer is what's your job is a question, not an answer. Because there's certain jobs that lend themselves to fist bumps. Anything involved in the SoCal sports scene, youth pastor, fucking, that's it. Proctologist. What's one? Proctologist? No, see. Griffin. What's your real ones? Listen. Let's do real ones first. Yeah. Let's start with real ones. Real ones. We didn't actually allow jokes back into the room after the penny discussion. Right. We should reopen the door to joke. Okay. Put it back in. Proctologist. Okay. Here's my, this is when I got this question. I saw it as one of those like flow charts, you know, yes, no, right, where I feel like there's two thing, either you ask for it, right, fist bump, or you just put it out there confidently. And now it's on the other person. And like that, that seems to me to be like the starting decision you need to make. Okay. But let's put like angle is huge, probably the first thing, right? Because low is like, I'm building a brand. Low is discrete. Yeah. And I'm charging my green lander out of frame. It's like an undercover, bro, right here. This is almost a little scary, isn't it? Whoa, juice. Come down. Whoa. I know. I mean, you can't go straight. You can't straight arm out. And listen, and here's the thing, guys, I'm not going to go higher than this. Yeah. Just like even because there is a camera. Unless you could, you could curve down. You could curve down. No, that's definitely scary. That's giving me a lunch money right there. That's like, you go down later. No, I'm going to just pass them from below, yeah, give them a fist bump by grabbing their short collar and coming from above, right? That's cool. That's cool. That's cool. Have you ever, one thing is if you've ever left someone hanging, give it up. You can't. Because you lose them. You're out of the, yeah, for sure. You're out. You're out. If you've ever left someone hanging, when they went for a bump, and here's the thing about fist bumps, no one would leave you hanging. I mean, no, no one of consequence. Yeah. There's a guy at the gym that I go to who fist bumps me every time he sees me, huge. And it's maybe the most I feel like, ah, they think I'm like a gym guy. You belong yet. It's huge. It's huge. When I went through a day, when more than three people fist bump me, I would end up weeping by my bedside. I would like be just like thinking about like, wow, I did it. You're different. I'm finally getting somewhere. Yeah. I'm getting somewhere. I think it's so much more affirming these days than a high five. Like Griffin, wait, hold on, we've had, we've each had a turn. Oh, sorry. I forgot. Thank you, Juice. This never happens. It's a turn-based podcast. Yeah. Well, I'm trying to pay attention. Yeah, yeah. You, I had a turn. And now you should. Okay. But now I feel a lot of pressure to really do it. Dad's in Scotland. Yeah. That's in Scotland. So I have to do that. You're a turn-of-one. Normally. Yeah. Normally on the calls. Yeah. But he's normally the call's telling us. So I was going to say that. Um, gosh, I really want to fucking land the plane right now. And I feel like the, the, all eyes are on me, all eyes on me. So, um, I remember in the, um, movie adaptation of Double Dragon, they had a, wait, sorry. The movie adaptation. The movie. Of the novelization. It's Charlie Kaufman, like the Charlie Kaufman thing. The movie Double Dragon based on the video game Double Dragon. Based on the true story. Based on Push by Sapphire, the Double Dragon movie, the two guys from Double Dragon who are not Ken and Ryu, but they are Billy and Jimmy Lee. Okay. Is that real? You would know about it. It sounds right. Yeah. They came in at each other. One hand open, one fist, and the other one would alternate it, right? And then they would push in so they would kind of grab each other's fists. Then it's sort of like, yeah, yeah, in a sort of like train coupling. Like a train coupling. Yes. I always thought that was so cool, and I tried to get it going with some friends in elementary middle school, high school college now. And it never really worked out because there's no way to get the message out there that like when you go in, it's right hand fist, left hand, clasp, um, because if you come out, if you come at it and you hit them like that and you're like, you're like, you know, fucking go in each, oh man, it's brutal. But this would be, I think, pretty cool. I didn't fucking have it. Okay. That's all right, Griff. That's okay, Travis. I am so sorry. I'm sorry, Travis. I'm sorry, Griff. Hey, Griff. Griff. Your turn has ended. So I am going to go in and ask, if he had some other stuff he'd like to say about it. Yeah. That weird gourd in the background looks like Ben Grimm's penis. Damn. I can't believe how long I made him wait for that, Travis. Now, Travis, give me the pun on it's clobbering time and we can move on. Don't but, but, but, it can't be, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, it can't be. It's slabbering time. Okay. It's knobbering time. All right. Dang it. That's good. Dang, that's good. Dang it. Here's another question. I've been at the mechanic for three hours and there's no end in sight. It's getting to be lunchtime and I skip breakfast. Would it be unforgivable to pull out the jar of peanut butter and spoon in my purse and start snacking? They don't have a separate waiting room so I'd be doing this in fairly close to the front desk. That's from Holland. Ooh. La la. And they say, I don't like protein bar. So instead of eating a couple of spoonfuls of peanut butter when needed, that's completely reason. I 100% have a jar of almond butter in my home for this exact purpose. If I left the house, yeah, I would have a travel jar and that's I think it's a full beaver superfood. If I, it is a full beaver superfood. That's an assayee. Those two. I had an amazing idea during Halloween trick or treating walking around. You know how when you eat a protein bar, it sucks after like two bites. Yeah. We need fun sized protein bars. We need a little one bite, two bite, get in there, a little snack roll, a little fucking couple grams to get you fucking juicin. And then you're not committing to a big chewy event. You're just getting in there, getting out. So I think that this would be a good fix. Well, I'll answer the question in a moment, but I just think, can they be loose? Loose. I don't want to make it extra, the paper. Oh, you're saying like a, like one might get a box of cheeses, like a loose box. A box of, yeah, sure. We could do that. Okay. Good. I just want to cut down a pack. Yeah, no, that's huge. I don't know like a bunch of like little things. Could we make some that are full size protein bar, but the final quarter of it is a candy bar that you work your way to. That's cool. That's like a Mars bar sort of situation, but it's yeah, but it's right at the end. Yeah. Those ones that come in segments. Yeah, yeah. And then at the bottom of the, at the bottom of the candy bar, there's a tiny cigarette. Yeah. It's worked. Yeah. Shit. And then at the end of the cigarette. Yeah. That's a little bit of cocaine. It's a little bit of cocaine. You're welcome. Um, from the Mars corporate, I don't know if you guys ever run into this, but when you have to take your card to the mechanic. It becomes in my brain. the equivalent of like the mind, the logic puzzle of like there's a farmer with a boat, and there's like a fox and a hen and a bag of grain. I'm like, you're not gonna have your car, but you don't wanna stay there, so you gotta get back, but the other person has to come get you, and then you have to get back and get, there has to be a better way. - Yeah. - There it is. It's biking. - Or walking. - So Justin, I'm supposed to bike next to my car. - Yes, you go straight on your bike, all the way to the gas, to the tire station. - I had, I have to ask you guys, if I was out of line with my mechanic last week. I had a small incident that removed the side view mirror from my car where it normally is. - Yeah, what's that? - Hey, Justin, that's very, very careful language. - They pop off something, they just kind of pop off sometimes. - No, I over corrected, and I hit the mirror on the rails in the viaduct, right? On those handrails. - Woo, boy! - I'll show you your pants, see your wife, flash her before your wife's gone. - I bet that was scary. It was not a good day, it was not a good day for me. So I call the place that fixes the car, and I say, hello, my mirror is broken. - Hello, is this the car hospital? - Hello. - Hello. I need to have my mirror is broken, I need to have my mirror fixed, my mirror is broken, and they said, okay, here's an appointment, and I had Sydney take me to the appointment, to drop my car off for this appointment, and then I get there, and they look at my mirror, and they said, oh, this is broken. - Yeah. - And I said, yeah. They said, we're gonna need to replace this. Yeah, that's a broken, yeah, it's a broken mirror, and they're like, okay, we're gonna order, we're gonna order it, it'll be in a few days, and you can bring it back and get it replaced. I said, okay, just so I know, how should I have phrased it? - Next time, so I, next time, so I, you are not, even in, I, a layman, can give you an assessment. - Yeah. - It's, fuck, I'm getting ready. - It's on my mirror. - My mirror, it's done. - It's done. - Recognition. - And I did say on the phone, I broke my mirror. - Yeah. - I do not think that they were, I, she didn't come out with super glue to the parking lot, like, let me take a shot. - Your, like, I don't know what-- - Mirrors are famously-- - One of the most irreparable substances. - Yeah, you just can't-- - You can't put anything in that veil. - Yeah. - That's wild. I think you're fully justified. - Yeah. - Thank you. Next time, I'll be more clear that this thing is just absolutely-- - No, you're peanut butter. - Oh god, yes, sorry. We got so sorry. - If anything, if they get uncomfortable, maybe it's gonna speed up that repair a little bit. - Yeah. - I also think it's cool. - We gotta get this peanut butter purver out of here. You know how-- - I love-- - I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. - You would never say that. - You mean you're peanut butter, you're fine. You know how in the Ocean's movies, Brad Pitt's eats all of the food, and every time he does, he looks really cool. - And they take the best at eating food. - Yeah, I think there's like a way you can do that. - Yeah. - I think if I see you-- (crunching) I'm like, they're on the go. They have places to be. They need to get out of here. They need protein for energy for business. - The weirdest one, though, if there's a singer, he's just eating a yogurt cup. And did he have a refrigerated lunchbox with him? Like-- - Is there a little ice pack in there? Where'd he get that yager from? - Thank you, Travis. Obviously, someone else has been reading the, "I am db olipses with his pro account." Finding, in this scene, Brad Pitt ate a yogurt. But where'd he keep it cold? I don't think so. - Thank you. - I think my therapist believes in vampires. Twice now, he has brought them up, seemingly out of nowhere, and talked about them like they're real. The first time he played it off like a slip of the tongue, but the second time, he really seemed to be trying to sell me on vampires being real and active in Chicago. How many more times do I let him bring up vampires before I find a new therapist? Is he a vampire? That's from vulnerable in the Vindy City. - I want to say, before we get into the nuts and bolts of the-- - Please. - Such gentle language in the wording, I think my therapist believes in vampires. And then in the next sentence, talked about them like they're real. And then in the next sentence, the second time, he really seemed to be trying to sell it. Hey, I think Think is out the window. - No. - You know your vampires. - Your therapist. - You know. I am curious how one manifests an opinion that they believe in vampires via a slip of the tongue. How does one accidentally let out-- - It's like a vampire. - Oh, I mean-- - You have to learn to distinguish these thoughts that you're having, you have to remind yourself, these are not real. They're not like your home or your couch or vampires. - Yeah, okay, they're not like, they're just in your head. - And just imagine like when you find yourself one of these scenarios, like what would a vampire do? - You know? - Yeah. - And I don't mean like from the movies. I mean like my neighbor Todd, who I only see at night. And he says he works the late shift. - But he bit me so hard once. I'm just saying, I think the question asker needs to figure something else out before they figure out how their therapist feels about vampires, which I think they know and are denying. They need to figure out how they feel about vampires. - Yes, yes. - Because the end of this question is how many more times do I let him bring up vampires before I find a new therapist? And then is he a vampire? So my friend, you need to figure out for you. - Yes. - If vampires are real. - That's a question mark. - It seems like you're waffling. And honestly, if your therapist has introduced doubt about vampires and their reality, that may be enough to start looking for a new therapist. I think that that's not a great. I'm not a professional, but it doesn't seem good. - Unless. - Unless. - Maybe your vampire therapist is the perfect person for you to do this work with. If you're figuring out if you believe in vampires or not, did you think about that? It's gonna be challenging and you can't do it around the, don't do it around the full beaver super moon. That's for fun. - Oh gosh. - No. - Because that's when vampires are at their absolute vaniest. - So vaniest. - So vaniest. - And they're more of a receptionist is gonna just be a real glow. - Just go absolutely ape. And so give it a week or two before you go back in. - Wait, it's a where ape? Holy shit. - Yeah, dude. It's, those are real and they're not in Chicago. They're more in the southeast kind of like region of the. - I don't know probably has where bears, right? - Yes. - Oh, yeah. - Yes, absolutely. - Don't wear bears. - Sometimes I see their, sometimes I see their defense crumble and I'm like, where do bears? - Oh. - Oh, I stepped myself in the hand with a pin. - Now he's gonna be a where pin. - No. - Yeah, man. - Gus and my dick had gots you quick. - I think if I found out my therapist was a vampire, I'd be a little psyched because they could use their vampire mesmerism to just get some of that shit out of there. - Holy shit, tell me about it, dude. There's a reason they call it the work. It's hard and it makes me so tired. Sometimes after therapy, I have to take a nap and that's embarrassing. Just mesme, bro. - Just fucking blasted me with that vampire magic, dude. I could call him at night 'cause I know he's up. And then I would be like, hey, I can't sleep. Can you mesme through the phone? - Yeah. - I'm like, knock me out. - Give me a quick mess. - It's a quick mess through the phone. - He'll be like, this is that all or nothing thinking, Griffin, I've been telling you that you have to work on that. And I'm like, I know, man, it's so hard. Just blast me with your vampire magic. Just fly over here to the window and I'm not gonna let you in. - I'm not gonna let you in, I'm not gonna let you in. - I'm really stressed about this show. Come mesme, so I can do good jobs and just mesme real quick. - You can fly faster than sound. - Well, give you a little bud. - Yeah. - Just a little. - Man, I will also say finding a therapist, it can be challenging. I think in maybe even in Chicago, it can be tough to find someone, you know, who can find your, who takes your insurance or what. It's a hard process. So maybe this, if you're doing good work in other departments and there just happens to be this kind of like, vampire thing in the background, it just diligently avoids the slide out. - Yeah, it's him being a vampire in any way detrimental to the process. If not, maybe he's, you know, he's an angel or an Edward, or one of the many, many examples in pop culture. - Yeah. - What? - Good ones, good vampires. - Good ones, one of the good beat ones. - Yeah. - The beat vampires. - Who does? - I don't wanna litigate angel. And I really don't even wanna talk about angel. - Well, he's barely holding it together. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? - That's the other thing we got him. - He's a mess. - I'm not doing this. - We'll go to the body, son. (upbeat music) - Is that him? Is that him with you? - Mike did cut is alive. Huh, who told, yeah, that's the first breaking news. Second breaking news, cats have gotta eat. - Oh, sure. - Am I not really? - Yeah, in my house, the cats are eating smalls. In fact, just this morning, I was given the heroes welcome by Olive and Amelia when I opened up a pack of ground bird, which is their favorite after smooth bird. - Yeah. - Which, it says a lot about them, very classy. I think that they love the smooth bird. I think your cats are gonna love it too. Before we used to use the dry food and then we just kinda let them graze throughout the day, this has given us more control over their diet, giving them healthier. coats. And now they're excited to see you. They're finally pleased that I exist, at least in those windows while they're hungry. I mean, after they've eaten, I try to give them their space. But like in that window, I feel really good. It's a really positive thing. Do you feel like it's maybe transactional a little bit the relationship you have with your cats? Oh, every relationship with the cat is transactional to some degree, Griffin. I don't think so, Griffin. I can see where you'd be tempted to draw a connection between me opening the smalls and giving it to them and them needing it to live and them tolerating me during that window. I could see why you would make a connection, but I think there's something a little bit deeper going on. Yeah, cool. They appreciate Justin on a deeper level that you wouldn't understand. Yeah. Yes, but you know what I know they don't appreciate is a great bargain because that is for humans. Give your cat the food they deserve for a limited time because you're one of our listeners.

I don't read ahead when we come up when we do this show. And that is why I am, I guess, delighted to see that one of our sponsors is Zock-Dock this week after I talked about how hard it is to find a therapist in a big simulation. It's not actually that tough if you use Zock-Dock. I'm speaking of from personal experience. I moved to Washington, DC. In Texas, they just had one big hospital and you go there and you say, I have this and they say, well, then you go to doctor this and then they fix it. And then when you go to DC. It's just a series of tubes. They shoot you. They shoot you. They blast you up there and then they take care of you and it is what it is. In DC, that's not how it works. You have to go and you have to do a seek and find because the doctor's hide. And Zock-Dock helps you find the doctors that take your insurance that are specialist in whatever it is that you need. And it even helps you book appointments with them like super fast when you book an appointment through Zock-Dock. Typically, you're waiting 24 to 72 hours after booking to get in there more often than not. You can get same day appointments. I genuinely, I can't tell you how many times I have used Zock-Dock to find medical practitioners for myself and my family that are all taken by my insurance. And it is my default method now when I need to find a doctor or specialist in my area because it's, I don't know, it's so easy and such a good idea that it, I don't know, it seems so. Of course, this is how it should work. So that's Zock-Dock. Z-O-C-D-O-C is the name of the service. Stop putting off those doctor's appointments. Go to Zock-Dock.com/mybrother to find an instantly book-at-operated doctor today. That's Z-O-C-D-O-C.com/mybrother. Zock-Dock.com/mybrother. It's a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in network doctors and click to instantly book an appointment. What are you waiting for? I don't, I don't know, Griff. Wasn't for you, man. Were you talking to me? We're doing the show, so it's not really a good time. Wasn't for you. If you want to use Zock-Dock, you should. All right. Now what I was expecting, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, I've on the bunch. Squad. I've on to Munch Squad. Yeah. Welcome to Munch Squad. It's podcasted within podcast. I even can't do nothing to get keeps pissing on my case. That makes sense because Count Donan, it really looks like this is all I had. This is from a costume party I went to. Count Dona, I'm so glad you're here. We have so many questions about vampires, vis-a-vis therapists. Yes. Oh, that's part of Chicago. Chicago, how bad would you say the Chicago, Illinois? Yes. We love any city with a solid transportation system. You can turn into bats. Why do you need a bus? Getting around the underground. You can walk around, Griff, and you still take the bus. I can't turn to that. That's different. Yeah, but I mean, it still takes exertion. It's terrible. It's tiring. Okay. You're right. And also you lose your keys. You lose your keys. You drop all your clothes and your stuff and you know, place those put the keys for a bat. Maybe a bat. A bat. So whenever you come out of that form, Count Donan, you are new to ice the day I was born 435 years ago. Exactly. It seemed like crazy long. Me and Jeremy Piven. You and Jeremy Piven have the same birthday. Margaret Mitchell, Jeremy Piven. And actually, she has Jose Andre, very-- Jose Andre, really? Wow. Extremely charitable vampire. Maybe it's wrong. This is just a birthday we share. It's not that we just happen to have the same birthday. Oh, okay. Me and Jose and the rest of the game. May I talk about Longan? Yes, please. This is why I'm here. Yeah, sure. Krispy Kreme has begun again. They've wiped the slate clean and attempted once more to climb the great mountain. Krispy Kreme has announced a bigger refresh. Don't not menu. America. When he comes to giving you more flavors, more variety and more ways to do it, there is is how we do it. All right, Krispy Kreme, in case we're refreshing, it's Donut menu. Adding nine new flavors and growing it's every day menu to 16 four sides. Donuts from 10! Wait, but nine new flavors and but it's only six more. 16 donuts. Yeah, imagine how it's going into a restaurant and having a choice of 16 different ones to enjoy. But there's a three flavor. There's three flavors that have been axed and I'm curious what those three are that have been left on the cutting room floor. Chocolate. It would require a level of dedication to the Krispy Kreme offerings that I do not possess. It will not surprise you, Griffin. They do not wish to talk about the past. Okay. Just like count down. Yeah, interesting. We're moving on. These popular donuts were offered previously only for a limited time. And now they're apartment and boys. permanent boys. You're better than this. What did you say? They're permanent boys. I also don't mind. It's basic. It's a basic podcast. That's not the press release was saying. These are our permanent boys now. Like saying it. I also thought. Thank you Travis. Krispy Kreme is comprised of an army of 16 boys. It's chosen. Our doughboys. We have 16 permanent doughboys. Oh, man. Why don't the doys. Hey, why don't the doughboys ever want to be my friend? Why don't they have you on count, don't it? Why have never the doughboys ever emailed me? Why don't they never send every mail down? They know I love they know I love these kinds of things. Yeah. Fast food. Things like that. They've never even made it. They might not know. They might not have heard or like heard this bit. I've heard the I've heard of them a lot of times. You know, it seems maybe they're heard of Justin McElroy once. They could email me just like, hey, cut similar. You know, have I say Justin McElroy? I mean, count on them. Have you tried messing them? Very different feeling. You got to mess them. We have friends of friends. Mess them as them with your power. Use your power right now. All right, doughboys. Justin McElroy has an overlapping interest with you in the fast food world. But he has never spoken with you. He feels like he would get along. And honestly, guys, it's been going on so long. There's some part of him that thinks you kind of hate them for some reason, because it's just weird that you guys aren't friends. It seems weird. Yeah. So reach out to him via email or LinkedIn. Well, I don't even know she was on. Yeah, he's just being on LinkedIn. You got to go somewhere at the poster Ziggy cartoons, right? So he's doing it on LinkedIn. Listen, New York cheesecake Oreo cookies and claim original glazed cake, cinnamon apple field, which is weird, original glazed cake. They didn't have this. This is one of the nine new flavors. That's a new one. They were like, check it out. I don't think they're going to have a new original flavor. They must have spoken. They did. Yeah. They're also doing an original glazed cream field donut in the seasonal biscoff cookie butter cream. Oh, yeah. Maple iced chocolate fudge brownie donut and an original glazed pumpkin spice cake donut. Where's the original coming in here? Well, I guess they're saying that I Travis. You Travis? Yeah. Yeah. I have no idea. Crispy cream will rotate in for new donuts on a seasonal basis five times a year. So they're not permanent boys. They blast the boys, the four boys. These are temporary boys. Okay. Love them and leave them. Oh, the other boys are pregnant. A former excited to offer and it's to introduce nine new flavors to our lineup so everyone can build a dozen that is unique as they are said. Listen, hold their crispy cream chief Brandon Parald to officer. Now listen, I don't need more. I don't want to be pathetic, but I'm going to for a moment because I do want - I wanna be put the end of it. - Love it, you'd love that. - Which is that. In crispy creams psyche in their mindset, the uniqueness of every human being can be summed up with 12 out of 16 donut options. Honestly, Travis, you could express all of the human genome with four different compounds, right? I don't see why. I'm talking about personality, baby. Also, juice, where did you fucking come from, dude? What? What? Where did you come from, man? Because you haven't fuck. It's the super moon, dude. I'm telling you, it's like throwing off all of our phones. No, it's the cave. It's the cats keep pissing on my cave. You know why they're pissing on it? Full beaver, superman. Yeah, so an old brand new old man. Sorry. Yeah, man, cool, dude. It's because I was reading the quote that I got all confused. Can I tell you the only reason? There's only one reason I wanted to tell you this. Okay. The new menu is supported by a marketing campaign that includes R&B singer, songwriter, producer, and Grammy winner Montel Jordan. Okay. I was waiting for this. Oh, this is how we do it. Yeah. This is. Okay. Oh, Krispy Kreme recruited to make his iconic 1995 number one hit. This is how we do it during its 30th anniversary. Jordan's, this is how he doesn't take on the song, encourages fans to. All right. All right. All right. All right. Encourages fans to share on social media how they're enjoying and sharing Krispy Kreme's new expanded every day menu, including sweet dance moves now. They know just how to go viral. Yeah, dude. So guys, here's what I want to ask you. The next quote is from Montel Jordan. Yeah. I want you to the guest. What if you were Montel Jordan? Can you tell me to the best of your ability? And I will warn you one point will be awarded. Oh, okay. Yeah. To the best of your ability. What the quote from Montel Jordan will be about his partnership with Krispy Kreme? I'm assuming it's not. Well, I really like money. There's a lot of things that's not for us. I really like money probably isn't. I'm going to say Justin based off of past experience. Okay. I'm a big fan. Who's Justin? Yeah. I'm a big fan of Krispy Kreme. And getting to work with them is something I've always wanted. Something along those lines. Okay. Take a swing at it. Good evening. Good evening. This is how I do it. It's Friday night and I feel like eating Krispy Kreme donuts on the west side. Designated driver. Take the key to my truck. Yeah. It's time to buzz. Gonna buy it does. This is how I doesn't. This is how yeah. I'm gonna kind of buzz on the buyer. This is very good. I'm accurate. I will say Krispy Kreme does it like nobody does? Is that could that be part of it? Here we go. To all my neighbors. To all these donuts to all these don't all these donuts got much flavor. Can I griffin? All my neighbors got 16 flavors. This is how I does. Oh he doesn't because you know the information. That's bright. That's that's better. My music is about celebrating good times and nothing brings people joy. Quite like a dozen Krispy Kreme nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Being a Krispy Kreme. I kind of want to do a deep drive now to see if Montel Jordan is like a father. That's a fucking sage advice dude. Being a Krispy Kreme fan doing this remix for Krispy Kreme's new core menu is a blessing and I'm excited about hyping everyone to discover some new favorite donuts and make sweet memories. Krispy Kreme does donuts like nobody. All right. All right. Now we're cut back on a delicious snack. This is how we don't decide both got little pieces here and there. I have if you're interested boys the list of the three dead donuts. Yeah. I am. But first just in case anyone hasn't heard it. This is how we do it by Montel Jordan. It's one of the all time that I swear to God. I swear to God if you're about to give a full-throwed endorsement of this is how we do it by Montel Jordan. If you've never heard this is how we do it. Do it by Montel Jordan. You guys got a lot of young listeners. You got to check this shit. It doesn't matter how old the listeners are. Have they seen a commercial for any company ever because this is how we do it's in it somewhere. Yeah. This is a lot of autumn's favorite song and for their anniversary slice got her a remix version of this is how we do it that is about her. I know. I know. So he launched a rebrand too. He launched his own marketing campaign. Just about his wife is great. You know you could you Montel Jordan is happy to get in there and help you restart your brand. Whatever your brand is. He's ready for a new menu. So the three. Oh God damn it. I just didn't do the voice at all that whole bit. That's okay. You can come back. That was you. That was me. That was you. I don't think Countdown that would know. Yeah, but it's like what did I say? You know what I mean? It doesn't make it doesn't I know, but it's like if I don't have the consistency. Yeah. I need to hear you say it's the full beaver superman and then we can move on. Yeah. As Dracula. It might be the full beaver superman. Okay. Thank you. As part of the menu expansion. Three previously every day flavors. This is the way they put it. Have been removed. The original glazed blueberry cake. Fuck off man. That's Jesus Christ. That's like my favorite. The original glazed lemon filled. Yeah. That's fine. And the cake batter. Now why would they get rid of two original. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No for sure. It doesn't make much sense to them. They were born there and now they die there. House. That's their home. They live there. Do they have a limited amount of donuts they can make every day that they have to get rid of flavors? They're right. They're ahead of you. Travis. Listen. Fred not. These donuts could return in the future. All right. And of course, Krispy Kreme will continue to delight fans with many limited time built in your mouth. Don't not innovations throughout the year, including this whole day season. Some more surprises. Some more surprises are on the the horizon. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, the blueberry one hurts. The lemon goo is like that's too much lemon goo. And we all get all done with goo. We should talk to donuts about this cake. No, none of us want to go in and go. Cake batter star burn bright and fast. But is is gone now. But some of us like it's not even original. They don't want to claim it. They didn't make it. But can I guess you guys? We're all done with goo. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all for sure. Can you tell. Tell them humans are also done with goo. The vampires. We have been over this stuff jelly filled. We don't know why you keep doing it, but no one listens to us. Yeah. Please. I like to represent it. I like a cream. Right to represent it. There's until the end. It's not. It's not a question of the substance inside of it. It is a question of ratio. When you the donuts that are filled are a Danish can have a cream filling and a fruit filling, but it's a reasonable layer. A pate of of that stuff. I don't need a water balloon full of jelly to eat because that's too much. This is why long johns work. Long johns that's a hot dog. Yes. Like a cream dog. They should call them creamy dogs for sure. I've never thought of this until this moment. Critting dogs. Very appetizing. Yeah. Well, bye. Time to die. Oh, no. It's okay. This is what he calls going to sleep. Oh, right. The little death. He's pretty dramatic. I don't know if you've. Hey, juice. I was in and out there. Yeah. I think because of the superman and this has never happened. I think because of the superman, we were kind of fighting for control because I had other things I wanted to do. Right. Yeah. No, I get that. Yeah. I had other dreams. I had other. I had a whole other bit written down. Right. That I was going to do is scripted. Um, different. What do you want to do it? It was timely. It was a time. Oh, it was 10 minutes ago. Yeah. It was about, it was a 420 kind of joke. It's 1038. They don't know that. They don't want to recording this. You guys could have just gone with it. Like, good point, Jamie. And or something.
