MBMBaM 809: Lesser Luigi Model

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 do you think it's the start of something beautiful? A small acquaintance 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, it's better, it's better with you, my life, oh, it's better, it's better with you, because it's too hard, it's better, it's better with you, my life, oh, it's better with you. Hello everybody and welcome to my brother, my brother and me in advice show for the modern era. You're all his brother, Justin McElroy. What's up, Travis Nation? It's me, your middle of this brother, Travis Big Duck, we'll film from the heater, we're winning McElroy. It's a me, I agree if you all look McElroy. I got the fucking, I got the fucking bug bad boys. Oh no, you're saying? Oh, I have got Mario Galaxy fever, me and fucking every other American on Earth, 207 million dollar domestic, gross so far, fucking, the train can't be stopped, they can have Waluigi get up on the screen and take a shit in a toilet for an hour and a half and we're talking about 250 million opening weekend. This guy can't be seen, this guy can't be fucking stopped. I haven't seen it, does that happen in the movie? Here's, you know what sucks, can I tell you what sucks guys, I googled Wario Waluigi, Mario Galaxy movie post credits scene question mark, it's not in there before you think I'm giving away some sort of insane spoiler, I googled it and you know what happened, Google AI said early reports show that Waluigi and Wario do show up in a post credits scene of the Super Mario Galaxy movie and guess what, they fucking don't. So what kind of early reports, do they have boots on the ground, they have people like onsite in the trenches like, I have to imagine this dipshit, large language model machine found my live journal that was like Christ Jesus, I would do anything to get these two nasty Italian brothers in the film, please I would do anything and it saw that and said, well, that must mean they're in it because it's a fucking robot. It doesn't understand like wishes and dream, it doesn't understand aspirations. That's what a LLM is, it's the lesser Luigi model and it finds the less than Luigi it tries to insert it into all the, God, I was fucking pissed off or Wario and Waluigi brothers. We don't need that. They're we've talked about this so many times, I thought they were a couple. They're married. Okay. It's just a business partners, they were women and Jerry's, they're roommate business partner married. I realized that when I was watching the Super Mario Galaxy movie, that kind of surprised me. What's that? I was still like, I was watching it, I was like, why don't I like the first one of these more? Because it's like, I'm seeing all this stuff like plants I know from my childhood, you know, pipes that I recognize as though I know my name. And then Mario starts talking and I realized something that I don't feel great about but I'm going to tell you guys, I still hate that he is Mario. Yeah. It still makes me mad that Chris Pratt is Mario and once he started talking, you know, I started thinking he's still bad at this and I'm still mad that he's Mario. I thought it's been years. Yeah. I'm still fear it. He sucks at it. He doesn't sound like Mario and I still, boys, can I have a second on a set of box about Chris Pratt and voice acting, but I think is there was a take-top clip, Justin, to your point, this is the fact I was, I was, yeah, no, I'm backing you up. Can Travis have a minute to, can Travis have a minute to back you up? Hard. Are you building a second bigger set box behind box, envelops the, so boxes hollow so it can envelop your stuff? You know what take is teared? Yeah, yeah. Mine's so boxes on top of yours, so it's higher, but it's slower. Yeah. I feel like yours is bigger and you have kind of put yours on top of mine like a dad putting his son on his shoulder like I would never do that. There was a take-top clip to publicize the movie with the cast and it was like, do your impression of Yoshi and then Donald Glover will judge your Yoshi and Chris Pratt volunteers to go first and then just goes, Yoshi. So he just does it and it might just be the only thing he knows how to do. It might just be, it's like, sucks. When you do voices, when you do voices, that is technically lying, which is a sin, which Chris Pratt cannot do. It's against his religion. It's short for Christ. It's short for Christ Pratt. Yeah. It is against his religion to do sinning. I will say this voice in, oh gosh, I don't want to be on this hill. So I'm going to say it and then I'm going to get off the hill real fast. Okay. In Chris Pratt's opinion. What? Say with your old chest. Show me the voice actor that they come to and they say, you're Mario now and this voice actor, you can name literally anyone, says, all right. And then the casting director says, not so fast, you can't do it Italian at all. You show me the voice actor who's going to fucking crush that role. Okay. So my first thing is it might be nice to ask an Italian person like, sure. As long as we're putting together a list, like if you're like, hey, Justin, give me a list of, give me a list of slow white Gentiles. Yeah, sure. Play Mario better than Chris Pratt. Yeah. I can probably come up with 10. Right, right. You know, like, but I mean, Mercer is going to be on the list. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I got a lot of greats and I think would really clean his clock in a pretty authoritative way. Yeah. Yeah. Matt Mercer got Ganondorf, but do it hot. And Matt Mercer was like, I can do a hot. Ganondorf. Bazinga. He gets another piece every time. There is also a way, Griffin, to do a Mario voice, yeah, at all. Yeah. That's also your own, like Ben Schwartz did Sonic, and he's not doing Julia White. He's doing. He owns it. He owns it. Sonic voice. Yeah. Yeah. Now I will say, you guys must have fun. Leo White, you've got to stop being a Chris, Chris, no, no, no, no, that's nothing. I'm not being a Chris, I'm just saying that Sonic, I'm just saying that Sonic doesn't have a rich accent of a different sort of culture, a different sort of ethnic group. And so it is slightly easier for one to transform that role, to take Mario and do him pretty much, not, not really Italian. He sneaks a little bit of, he puts a little bit of on it sometimes, but like, for the most part, zero Italian content in this Mario voice. Alan Tudyk. Yeah. I mean, yeah, like there's lots of like people that are better at acting than Chris Pratt. Peter Kohler. No, but doing the Optimus Prime voice. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Now this might be because you said transform a lot. Yeah. But if he was like Luigi, we must get the old spark like that would fucking rule. Now show me a better wart than Luis Guzmán. That doesn't exist. That can't be done. That's a, that's a choice. That's something he's making a choice. Making a choice. Guzmán's an actor. Yeah. I don't know like somebody. I don't know. Sounds like someone. I don't know why warts in the motion picture. Warts whole sequence in the movie seems like a total fucking fever dream. Warts. There's like, yeah. Oh, it's just out of nowhere. And burdos there. And they're like, what's up? We're from the one that people don't talk about a whole lot. Um, do you want to have a big casino fight? And they're like, yeah, that seems like it'd be cool to have in the movie. And then they made 207 million dollars domestic. You know that, you know, those packing peanuts that you get sometimes that are made from digestible materials like corn. Yeah. And they advertise on there like, check it out. This stuff is made of corn. Yeah. Like you could eat it. Don't. Don't. But like you could eat it. Don't eat it. Yeah. That to me is, that to me is Chris Pratt's acting. Okay. It's like, you, they give it to you and you're like, what do you want me to do with this? Is it acting? And they're like, well, sort of. I mean, it could be acting. It could be. Don't eat it. Don't eat that. Don't eat it. But if you act it's like acting. It's like acting. It's not a like acting. Yeah. It's, yeah. It's you won't die. You'll live through it. You'll have no poops. You won't shit. It does happen every time I watch one of the Jurassic World movies, I don't poop for days. I saw the Garfield movie twice in theaters and I'm, I mean, I had to go to the hospital and get it cut out. If you think that the same person can play a dinosaur adventure man and the world's laziest cat, I give you credit for that. Like because there's probably an actor that has that range. It's not Chris Pratt. But you know what I'm saying, like, it's not, it's certainly not Chris Pratt. Luis he's not a dinosaur man and a fat lazy cat and the hero plumber of the day. I don't think he's all of those what it is just as Chris Pratt has ranged but no aim so he can fire arrows wildly in any direction here's what's fucked up his Mario is a great Garfield his Garfield is a pretty good dinosaur adventure man he's just kind of always one to the left yeah Chris Pratt star lord brought about the idea into the MCU that literally anybody could be a Marvel superhero and I swear to god it was the beginning of the end of the the moment that the moment the audience saw themselves represented on the screen by Chris Pratt was the fucking first coffin male it was now we're just watching a guy with a tape player run around shoot nailians were does also the first time that someone got super hot for a Marvel movie and I mean I don't know that that was as bad of a sort of tradition obviously he didn't see Eric Banna but all right you're right you're right Eric you hooked out man it's like if he told well we got you yeah Bradley Cooper doing the rocket raccoon voice would have been better as Mario yeah if they said Bradley Cooper as rocket raccoon as Mario Mario I'm there they would I was already there they would I'm there day zero I guess yeah and well I think they recognized sort of the shortfall the the shortfalling of Chris Pratt in the first Mario's rap fall the Chris Pratt fall in the first Mario movie and that's why they gave him approximately nine lines of dialogue in the second movie that bears his Christian name yes he said this one in via voicemail I think yeah a lot is Seth Rogan back as Donkey Kong in this one fucking no no they got the reports in the people like that part so they had to get rid of it they said Seth Rogan Seth wrote okay do a Donkey Kong voice a hundred out of a hundred people aren't gonna bring with Seth Rogan brought to the role he took it he owned it Donald Glover your Yoshi you can only say Yoshi and but yeah you can say that also fuck I didn't know I had that in me you can say that also he takes it owns it disappears becomes it it's like who is good spot who's got your plot it's please mr. goosebumps we must make time for the other who am I going to play in this one well uh do you remember Super Mario Brothers 2 no no one does well the final boss that is a big frog that burps bubbles named Wart um be him you're him now own it become it he does he disappears where do you go where's Louise and then he says and then he says do I need to do the whole Louise goose man voice yeah everyone always loves and they say yes and is not in that voice he says goose man which like do you want me to do the Louise goose man voice that everyone enjoys and it is I Danny Trejo do you want me to do the Danny Trejo voice as well oh Danny you're not in this one oh Danny Trejo out Danny Trejo is Waluigi would fucking slap ass that would be good I'd love a minute that's actually a deepening minising Waluigi oh I give me Idris Elba as Wario and Idris Elba is already knuckles so that can't fall Idris Elba is already knuckles so he can't Idris Elba has to Idris Elba took knuckles and fucking turned it into a new better knuckle like Idris Elba is the fucking like the the exception that proves the rule here because he took it he made it something by so strong that has spun off a whole series about him he elevates the material because if Idris Elba thinks knuckles is cool then maybe I'm cool too yeah yeah right yeah hey Idris me too knuckles is cool man yeah we have something to talk about I do like the picture Idris Elba like entering a club going all these nerds are with me and like getting them in there too it's nice I hate that I'm just I ran out for my second p break during Super Mario Galaxy and I no kidding had the thought after they brought me the cheese for my pretzel bites I said I'll loud I wish that had taken longer okay if they went to go get the cheese for the pretzel eyes I said I wish that had been a longer I wish that had taken more time it's exhausting I wish there'd been a longer line or something it was an exotic I have to go back yeah yeah how often do you think somebody in a board room in a Hollywood is pitching a Mario movie Sonic movie crossover movie everyone is watching yeah yeah they should just compete in the next Olympic games Mario and Sonic we have a there's president a smash brothers game is probably actually the more likely scenario can you even imagine all how for me Holly what is going Holly what is going to be so horny when they're like have you seen this video game that has every character ever in it how toyedic is it the most toyedic it's if they use that as like an Avengers thing where it's like now we haven't excuse to make a Metroid movie yeah you have an excuse I think they're working on the Zelda movie they are we're gonna miss other movies actually I finished that recently oh you got the part now I'm all the parts whoa I am also filming it in the backyard it's pretty good so far it's 13 minutes long I highly sexual I'm a professional mascot costume fully nude I'm a professional mascot costume maker you can't say that in the middle of that here question you can't inject fully nude into someone else's costume I'm a professional mascot costume maker and I have recently gotten into ice hockey I've started going to a local rink with friends and supporting the team go red hawks they don't have a mascot and I can't stop thinking about making one for them how do I offer to make my local ice hockey team a sick ass hawk mascot and hopefully get paid for it that's Lucy from London here's I know a little bit about ice hockey and I think that there's a all your lead here I think that there is a route you can follow here that is like pretty good it is so much easier to ask forgiveness than permission in in this regard the St. Louis Blues hockey club I really like it's so cool to wear sports stuff in the show guys I wish you knew what this power felt like I feel like I can really mask like so deep when I'm like people really like my hair that's a good point cover it up my hair kind of iconic true the St. Louis Blues have a guy named towel man towel man yeah he sits up in the nose bleeds every time the blues scored goal they ring a bell the number of times that they have scored a goal and towel man worlds around a towel while they all scream the number of goals and they throws the towel forward into the front the more forward rows so you know you if you know where towel man sitting you can sit in the section below him you can buy what's called the VIP towel seat and odds are you're going to catch most of those towels assuming the breeze are having like the towel man's an employee no this is the question you said they have a guy and they have a guy so this idea do they have a guy like I have a rat problem or do they have a guy like I have an employee no he would he does he's not a fit he's super not official guys he wears he wears show they have tell VIP seats they're they're selling again they're marketing against the presence of towel guy he's been around since the mid-90s and he has shorts that he painted with blues logos and sometimes he wears a tuxedo shirt and a little bow tie and he calls himself towel man and he spins around the towel and he throws he just started fucking doing that and then he's been an institution is every every every home game people love towel man he gets a close so every time they score a goal the TV cameras zoop right to towel man so that's a pretty strong massive but he's not employed and he's not a mascot better than he doesn't represent the team when he's more of a mascot than fucking Louie the hey who's our mascot for our cold sport team uh polar bear uh calm Louie for the like it's fucking you didn't think about that for a second that's got huge Chris Pratt energy I'm I but tell man how Chris Pratt starts as Louie in Louie the movie tell man has Lord tell man has drive tell man has power he got up there and he just started fucking doing it and then the blues couldn't get rid of them so if you start showing up to these red hot games and you start handing out our bees coupons they're not going to get rid of you what's the exact number of times you have to throw your towel into the crowd before they're like actually I know what we've said the other times but don't stop doing that yeah we love it do it every time yeah we know we've been begging you to stop throwing the towels because everybody hates it yeah but now it's an institution and you can never stop I think that it would be very powerful if you started wearing a full blown mascot costume and then just sitting there until the camera pan to you and like you're up on the jumbo tronor whatever and you're like oh me I guess I could do a little like dance and maybe hype but I wasn't planning on this but here I go I think that if you're a security guard at a sporting event the number one thing you are trying to stop getting through fake mascots because if you if you get somebody in there who's like rapper I you just see somebody in a mascot costume you don't recognize it's like no no I can't today like I've got a lot of other stuff going on I don't have an email about this like I can't do that just go to go to try great because I can't I mean it's hard to judge someone who has that kind of reaction because I do think that mascots have gotten nastier in the last decade and most stuff has gotten nastier in the last decade but like you can't see some random mascot show up and be like are you gonna be chill like gritty or are you going to be unchill like the Toronto Raptors mascot who just devours who just devours people, just eats people raw whole. Out in the stands, everything. - Can I extend your security guard, right? You see six people show up. Each one, one person has a mascot wing on, but nothing out. - All right, and then just normal close. Another person, the right arm wing. - Yes. - Another person, leg, leg, chest, head. That's more, the head is probably the most suspicious. - The head's the hardest one to get in there, huh? - Yeah. - The head, I think, you almost have to put onto a kid as they're walking in, and then take it back after they're three. I think that that's the only way you get the head in. But yeah, you're right, Trap, maybe like the wing, you put it in a sling, in like a cast. They don't notice that one, you got, maybe the leg, you wrap like a cast. - Yeah. - And then the other leg, you do get so far. - So far. - So you get like one person has their left leg broken. - Yeah, you know what I think is the right, you know what I think is bullshit is that mascots only have to perform at their home games. I think that's foolish. I think that they should have to travel with the teams, and I think that they should have to be there. Do you think that when the St. Louis Blues are playing a game in Dallas, they wanna fucking beat, no, they know everyone there hates their guts, and I don't see why Louie doesn't pack up and travel along with them and just try to give them strength. You're only here to help them in the home games, kind of a fair weather fan, all mascots ever. And I'm just gonna say, in character, the whole trip. - The whole trip. - If I'm on the bus, I don't wanna see Jeremy. Yeah, you know, I wanna see Louie. - Yeah, yeah. - I don't know guys, that's a tough room. That's a tough room with limited periphery. - You know what I mean? Like you're gonna, that's tough to win a crowd. - You have a 35 degree cone adventure. - You're F-O-V, yeah, it's like 20%. - That's fine. - You got beverages chucking at you for all directions. That's a tough room. - Maskot Pope Mobile. - Okay. - Okay. - This is a taunting action. - Yes. - Drawing the iron for real. - A Zampope, if you will. They can travel around on the ice and you will protect it. And it's like a two, it's like an Orwellian two minutes hate. Like the home crowd's gonna love that too. Throw all your shit. Throw all of your shit at Grady. He'll, he will take it like a fucking champ. - And it will make him stronger. - Yeah. Yeah. - Grady should show up to him that his nut team is not involved in at all. - People would be excited to see Grady. - Yeah. - I think that Grady could be treated like a visiting dignitarie. - Yeah. - Like you can't get mad at Grady. - No. - And by the way, huge congratulations to whoever had the strength of vision to see Grady through the creative process. - Yeah. - Yes. You know, as somebody who does a lot of creative work, you know, I can, it's hard for me to imagine having an idea like Grady and just with standing those meetings where you're like, "No, yeah, you don't get it." - Yeah, you don't get it. - He's a dirt bag. He's a dirt bag and he's insane. And he's barely even aware that we're playing hockey. - Yeah. Like it's, they had to go through those meetings like, "No, you don't get it." - Yeah. - He's a crazy dirt bag. - No notes at this time. - Yeah. Trust me. Please just make the cut. The eyes have to be bigger. - Yeah. - I told you. Just make what I told you. It's gonna rule. - Oranger. - He needs to do it. - Oranger, crazier, angrier. - He needs to be able to harp. - Hump's so hard that his belly shake up and down. It needs, he needs that. - You needed to look so wild that if he froze in place for four straight hours, it would seem in character, right? - Yes. - Trust me. People will love hockey about it. - Oh my god. - Listen, I'm the one who's seen this sleep paralysis demon that I'm taking him off of. - Yeah, I have to deal with it. - So listen to me. - You have to make it so it gets out of my head. - Please. - I'm pretty sure that the person who designed Gritty also designed the Philly Phenatic, which is like a Gritty with a wild proboscis kind of coming. I mean, Philly Phenatic and Gritty are definitely related, right? Philly Phenatic is a big green monster. Looks like if Oscar the Grouch was different in every capacity except for the color of his fur and had a huge honk and horn on the front of his face. Gritty is like this, but way wilder eyes. Way more, a feral Gritty I think is the Philly Phenatic. I think that that's the same designer. And so this is a person that needs to be protected from themselves. Yes, that's a good idea. - Okay, yeah, got it, got it, got it, got it. - Another question. I like to eat lunch in my car, but where I live it is increasingly hot and my car has no AC. Recently, I noticed the cemetery down the road from my work has to make sure- - That's great air conditioning. - Has great air conditioning and the built-in McDonald's. A nice big oak trees next to the roads that run through it. Would it be okay for me to pull over next to one of these trees and eat my lunch in the cemetery? Or would that be disrespectful to the spirits that make it their home? That's from a lunching feed. Now, I will say this pretty authoritatively, you must make sure that driving is permitted in the cemetery first. Because you do not want to run a foul of that. If it is a no driving cemetery and you're just driving around, it doesn't matter where you throw your lunch, they're gonna ask you to go. - Yeah, if I see someone sitting in their car in the shade of a big oak tree in the cemetery, eating a hoagie, I'm going to assume that they are a detective and they are staking out, like maybe some crime boss has gotten murdered and like this detective is like, even though he's gone, I'm still gonna watch the family 'cause like, I don't know, maybe he got into deep and he felt like he was part of the family. I don't know, this is turning into something else as I sort of talk about it, but I will assume you're a detective staking out. You boys just made me so happy, specifically Gryver talking about a big hoagie 'cause I was picturing like somebody, like a Lydia Dietz-esque character. There's like, I want to connect, I feel at home with the dad, I'm comfortable here. I'm like a poet and a poet's heart and then they pull out a big old submarine sandwich and a bag of baked glaze and like a pre-sun and they were slamming it down and it made me so happy to picture. Thank you. - Yeah. - I used to work a lot of mall area jobs and when I was on the, I used to do the Atkins when the low carb craze was all the rage and it was not uncommon that I would take a lunch break from my mall area job and then go into the Arby's that's physically inside the Huntington Mall and then go in order of Big Montana and discard the bun and then sit there and eat a half pound of roast beef inside an Arby's inside a mall in my Best Buy uniform. Now, the reason I mention this is because I can remember thinking, I don't think there could be a more depressing lunch than this. But I do want to credit this question after because pulling into the shade of an oak tree in the cemetery 'cause it's too hot to eat in my car in the sun may be a more depressing lunch than my retail break at Arby's. So, Greg, thank you so much for this mental image. It has washed away me and my blues sucking down the slivers of roast beef. - Especially if it goes sort of roll up on you at that point and be like, whoa, hey, are you okay? Hey, man, I've got a lot, you know, going on with me but oh boy, oh my, you have to practice the interaction. If a crotchial caretaker comes by and they're like, what are you doing? You have to be ready to say it was too hot to eat in the sun. So, I parked under the shade of the cemetery tree to enjoy my lunch. Just, if you say that full volume with your whole chest, people are going to be so confused they're not going to know what to say next. - They can't kick us out. - Just having Arby's with Gamma, like we used to. - Yeah, and one more Arby's with Gamma. - And also tomorrow and maybe the day after that, maybe like five days a week. - Yeah. - I'm having a really hard time getting a processing it. So, I may be here eating my Arby's beef for months, really. Until winter time. - Gamma and I had beef at the end that we didn't squash and so this is my way. - Squash in the beef, we're going to get Gamma. - I want to be one of those people that see a cemetery and see it as like a beautiful, well-tended place of quietude and contemplation. And a place where one can go to reflect and sort of think about life and what's important. - Take family photos. - Let me finish my serious point before you do a unserious point. But I don't know that I can get over just how many bones are close by. - There's too many. - It's like hard tunes. - It's hard to, and it's one of those things where you can't forget a thought. You can't not think about something and once I'm there and I think about one. - So I don't think about pink elephants. - Yeah, yeah. But for me, it's a bone and then it's like, it doesn't scare me, but I'd rather be somewhere with a lower BPC, bones per capita. - Bones are everywhere though, man. - They're really not. - You live in D.C.? - Okay, there's lots of them. - People have died there so much. And the whole world long before cemetery is where they keep like the bones are everywhere. - But, you don't know the word. - Bones are the things when you're a parent and you do have to look at your kid and like, yeah, we keep all the bones here. - Yeah. - We keep 'em all together. - The new bones. - Sure Travis, there's bones everywhere. There's lots of people who have lived and died. But a lot of those bones have turned into bone dust and enriched the soil, turned into a beautiful tree that a caterpillar eats, and then that-- gets powers of bird, like that's all beautiful circle of life stuff. But a lot of this stuff here is fairly new bones and they're going to be around for what. It doesn't like, again, I'm not scared, I'm not grossed out. I think I just like to be somewhere, I'm a little scared. Yeah, it's a little scary, I don't think that bones or ghosts or whatever care if you have a sandwich and if you're eating some fries or having a burger, I don't think that's what would bother a ghost. Yeah. Now, wait, do you make crazy noises when you eat a sandwich, when you slop one down, and you're like, "No, that's not good." With your windows rolled down because don't do that, don't munch super duper loud and tear at it like the Tasmanian devil fling and let us all over the place. Be griffin', only now do I realize that in your head they're still in their car parked under the big oak tree eating their lunch, that's why they look like a cop and not because you thought that detectives always eat under sitting on the ground under a big oak tree. Would it be okay for me to pull over next to one of these and eat my lunch in the cemetery? So what point did they say that they do get out of the car? I just assumed that they got out and that's why me, I realized this now. Spread a little blanket. Yeah, picnic. Okay. Pecknick in the cemetery. I don't think that feels a little bit. They like to eat their car. They love to eat their car. They got all this food. They love this food. They can listen to their favorite tunes. Yes, maybe, should I be so bold? I think they're in their car. Let's take a break. And head on into the money zone. So Squarespace is our first sponsor this week. Squarespace lets you make websites that can do basically anything.

That's crazy, dude. But she says, please, please, I need 10 row bucks. I say, you have money. Like you have money. I don't know why I, and she says, I never learned how to buy the row bucks because you can buy them off site, off platform, and you get a better R-O-I because Apple's not dipping their snoot in.

Crafted beverages across all locations. Wait, what? You heard me right. Exactly what I said when I said it just then. Yeah. Saucy by KFC. Saucy by KFC. Introduces drips. By Pepsi. Can you have a sense that it's all proper nouns? Because I didn't think that that was grammatically possible until this moment. It's a Saucy by KFC. Drips by Pepsi. Drips by Pepsi is Saucy by KFC. Awesome. And this is what I'm trying to get. I'm hung up on the crafted beverages. Well, look at the Travis. They're beautiful. What is that crafted beverage? What is crafted? Tell me in that moment. They're crafted by Pepsi. Travis? It's a flavor-forward experience with the introduction of drips by Pepsi crafted beverages. You know how when you're thinking about Pepsi? Uh-huh. The image in your head is like a man in like a cap in a leather apron and he's crafting a Pepsi. Yeah. Yeah, that's an image of Pepsi. It's like a craftsman. Well, now they're crafting beverages for you. A new lineup designed to elevate the brand's signature chicken tindies and sauce-centric menu. The KFC brand. I mean, this is where it's going to get confusing. They can't say the brand because I don't think Pepsi's out there. Saucy by KFC has 10 locations. Okay. And all the drips by Pepsi are at Saucy by KFC. Uh-huh. Saucy's like KFC, but just tindies basically. And a sauce-forward. Yeah. It's about flavors. It's about sauce. It's about drips. It's about Pepsi. So it's a sauce-forward and a flavor-forward experience. Yeah. Yeah. One of 5th beverage, Tropical Energy Escape will be exclusive to the flagship carolwood location in Tampa, Florida. Tropical Energy Escape does sound like what the CEO of like an oil company does. After he's been found out, like he's been defrauding millions of people. And he's like, ooh, I better make a tropical energy escape. He's got a Doctor Evil rocket that just sort of blasts off. Yeah. It takes him right to a tropical island with no tradition policy. Each drink incorporates layered flavors and mix-ins such as caramel cold foam, jalapeno, and popping boba to deliver a customizable flavor-driven experience. Awesome. So you got a Pepsi, zero sugar, salted caramel, fizz. Crazy. There's tropical and a rainbow splash lemonade. Uh-huh. That's tropical and starry blended with passion fruit and pineapple. Okay. Mountain Dew Chili Chill. That's Mountain Dew and Tropical Energy lemonade with pineapple, jalapeno, and mint. Finish with Tahine. I don't care. And there's pink-raised pop. Yeah. How much you love jalapeno? I could see it in like a margarita. Right. like that. The idea of like, here's a like a soda to drink with your meal. Surprise. Brank you, punk. I put Hall of Fame in it. Drips by Pepsi was built to redefine what a crafted drink experience looks and tastes like. And we're thrilled to bring that vision to life on saucy by KFC's bold flavor-forward menu, said Scott Finlow, global chief marketing officer of Pepsi co away from home and presumably someone who still has to sleep at night. Quote saucy is the perfect partner to debut these beverages and deliver a flavorful share worthy experience saucy by KFC positions itself as a flavor obsessed playground holy where sauces of the centerpiece and chicken attendees serve as the campus for customization across formats from dipping to sandwiches and wraps. Okay. They've used the phrase flavor-forward multiple time. Are there people crafting flavor neutral and flavor backward food experiences? That's that's that's that's nice and everything. So if you go to KFC presents drips. KFC presents saucy based on book by Sapphire saucy by KFC featuring drips by Dre, but drips by Dre. If you go there, you can eat spicy mango chutney, chicken dippers and jalapeno pesto ranch dippers and then you can drink a goddamn salted mountain dew with mint and tahini and jalapeno. So yeah, Travis, it is a flavor-forward experience. The sheer number of flavors you can get with two menu items. We need to stop moving flavors forward. That's too many flavor, maybe flavor backwards. Yes. With drips by Pepsi, we're extending that creativity to beverages with bold, playful combinations that elevate every bite and sip experience. I don't think I want a playful experience in my soda. If I drink a regular mountain dew, that's playful enough already. My body doesn't wouldn't know what to do with a mountain dew at this point at 38, almost 39. It wouldn't know what to do. I don't need to mix in a lot of other stuff in there. Every time I drink a dark soda, I'm playing a dangerous game. I'm playing a dangerous game enough over here. Yeah. I, in conjunction with young brands and PepsiCo, am hosting three events in Florida to celebrate. You just mentioned it. Yes.

He takes you on a journey to the sauce bar tastings. There's also giveaways. And then I assume the fifth one is recovery tent. I be dream. They have they also have flaming diarrhea hole. Yeah. It's a hole that where there's fire underneath it, like a literal incinerator. And you just feel like safe. And then they've invented something here. It's just called a bowel movement doula. We're just massaging it through the lower balance. You need to breathe through this part. Do you want to do this in the bathtub? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That pain you're feeling. That is the jalapeno sauce. That's how Maggie is second run to the lower intestine. That is natural and beautiful. That's awesome. Just I okay. This is not as important. I would say is this information. But I did I did want to I did want to share this this this discussion with you burger king test sliders box in two markets. So you know how things have been lately. Yes. You know, things have been lately where everything costs $800. Well, here comes burger came to the rescue with a possible sliders box. Now this is what I want to talk to you guys about. And this fucking may not even be the podcast. I don't know what is happening. Yes. What is happening? I think burn king does not want to reveal the size of the sliders. Huh? They have made a box with six tiny hamburgers. And I know what you are thinking. How that is what a slider is. But it's not these are hamburgers that have clearly been shrunk down. And then they're showing a hand holding it. But do you see what I'm saying guys? It's like the thomas folks inside it. The thomas burrowed into the burger. I think they just really want to show you scale. I think. Yeah. I don't believe any of those elements were present in the same building. No, no, no, that's a superimposed B&G definitely. These are not these burgers aren't these are normal sized. These are normal. 30 years ago. This is what burgers look like. And now there's six of them. This is this does not a slider make. I don't think this is what the offering will be. I feel like they took pictures of the regular burger burgers and hit control T and shrunk them down to this size. I swear to God. They also put two different boxes at two different size that ones wide open. Yeah. Which box is it crazy, dude? Yeah. There's the king size sliders are bold flame grill and snackable burgers designed for whatever craving strikes. Anything snackable if you try hard enough. That's right. Guess can build their own box of two or six king size sliders. Okay, traps. So that's what we have. We have a little bird. Yes. But the box is even with that information just to go back up. That's right. The two sized box. Yeah. It's wrong. It's wrong. It's wrong. Two sides of the six side. What's happening? Yeah. You should be for or five burgers in that other box from sharing with friends to sampling a little bit of everything. The king size sliders box is built for how today's guests are craving more variety, more flexibility. And this is the part that really fucking cooks my noodle guys. No tough choices. Thank you. That is the last line. The last line of this fucking press release. It's built for how today's guests are craving more variety, more flexibility. And no tough choice. If you are at Burger King and you're looking at the menu and you think, boy, this is tough. You need some tougher things. You need some harder things in your life, I think. I think honestly, if you decide no tough choices, I'm going to get six burgers to eat. You have put a tough thing in your life. I would say you've made like part on yourself. You've made a huge difficult choice without even realizing that you've made a huge difficult life altering this. It's potentially, yeah, six point. Tenshally. Six boys. I'm different after that. I'm different now. You may be thinking back to this moment in several years, sliding door style. If only one thing. Oh, yeah. Clarence. Yeah, yeah, actually to this point, the decision to eat either two or six tiny hamburgers is really hard because that is a hugely different thing. I mean, especially two or six, there's three varieties. One box only has two options in it. They know what they're doing. Yeah, that's a huge difference. If someone called you and said, what are you doing? You said, I'm eating two small hamburgers of Burger King. Oh, interesting. Here's what I want to talk to you about. What are you doing? I'm eating six small burgers of Burger King. Oh, God, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Don't go anywhere. Stay put. Promise me, David. Promise me. It also seems like there's no dividers or containers within this box. No, no, no, no. That's a fun way. David, try this. You're right about that. It's a fun way to end up with a real jumbo burger. Yeah, give me a burger ball. There are guys. I'm not kidding you. Probably 150 discreet components in this box. If it was like accessories, right? There's like probably 150 things. There's like onion petals and little pieces of bacon and cheese slices. Like, this thing's gonna be a wreck. Yeah, it's a disaster. This box, this box ain't getting through your front door. It's not get. Yeah. No way. Door smash more like it's stuck in here. All right. Well, that's the news. That's the news of what it says. It's really important.
