The McElroy brothers, known for their irreverent and chaotic humor, host an advice show that prioritizes humor over credibility. They openly mock their own expertise, poking fun at their lack of formal credentials while maintaining a playful, exaggerated tone. The episode features a comedic breakdown of a fictional tagline dispute involving Hormel Chili, where the brothers invent a storyline about mistaken ownership and corporate cover-ups, blending absurdity with satire. This is interwoven with deeper jokes about personal identity, family dynamics, and self-improvement, such as the brothers' failed attempt to prove they can be a Rockette dancer. The segment on sharing food with cats is both humorous and insightful, exploring animal behavior and human perceptions of ownership. Throughout, the brothers shift between absurdity and genuine reflection, using satire to comment on real-life issues like trust, responsibility, and corporate marketing. The show also highlights current pop culture moments, such as Burger King’s Star Wars-themed menu and Crumble’s limited-edition galaxy cookies, using them as launching points for jokes about branding, authenticity, and consumer trends. Ultimately, the episode balances chaos and insight, celebrating the absurd while subtly questioning social norms and personal accountability. The tone remains lighthearted and self-deprecating, rooted in the brothers' trademark style of blending nonsense with meaningful commentary.
The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed.
Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it.
Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening.
What's up, you cool baby?
One, two, three, four!
It's the start of something beautiful.
A small acquaintance has blossomed, it's ripened 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. My life, it's better, it's better with you.
This is true, it's better, it's better with two.
My life, it's better with you.
Hello everybody, welcome to my brother, my brother and me, an advice show for the modern era.
I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy.
What's up, Travis Nation? It's me, your middle-aged brother, Travis Big Dog Wolf of Vroom Vroom Heater, award-winning McElroy.
Too many, I'm Griffin McElroy.
Hi, and. Max Fund Drive is officially over now.
We have, for two weeks, come to you hat in hand and say, hey, we need money, but that's all in the past.
And boys, you know what that means.
You know what that means?
What's that, Juice?
The bitch is back, baby.
I don't want. The bitch, the bitch, the bitch is back.
That's right, your original bitch is back.
Justin's back.
Yeah, I don't love that.
No more gratitude, no more kindness.
I'm back and I am surfing.
Can I tell you what's amazing?
Stinky bitch.
I'm back.
Can I tell you what's amazing, Justin?
Yeah.
It's like a rule of. Yeah, bitch.
The word I don't like from you.
Yeah, it's like a rule of three things where you said it the first time and I was like,
I'm uncomfortable with you saying that.
And then you said it like three times and I was like, I'm coming around.
Oh, sorry, Snowflake.
Sorry, I already got your money.
Okay, but then you said it like three more times and I fell back off.
And then you said it one more time and I was like, well, maybe.
And then you said it like a seventh time and I was like, I don't know.
If I say it eight more times, Beetlejuice will come out of the ground, right?
More like Beetlejuice.
Bitch.
I don't have my sunglasses.
Fuck.
Oh, here we go.
Bitch.
Now I'm back too.
Hey, Griffin, do you want to get nasty with us?
You don't have to be nice anymore, dude.
Play day is over.
Shit, I do have sunglasses.
Yeah, man.
This bitch.
Yeah, man.
I'm going to put on my tortoiseshell glasses.
They're even cooler.
Yeah, dude, look out because now we're raising. Max Fundrive's over.
Now we're raising bitch money.
Yeah, listen to Griffin Curse.
I've got a pipe.
I just don't like that one.
Yeah, thank you to everybody who did come out to support us.
I've got a 3D Brennan mace.
If you can't handle me at my Garfmask, then you don't deserve me at my, you know?
Listen, I know we promised this year that immediately after the Max Fundrive, we wouldn't turn nasty.
But you've got a knife.
This guy's got a fucking knife.
But the problem is that for two weeks, we have to bottle up all this nasty energy.
And now. And now we have. Now we've got to let it out because we do a secret drive for one week after the Max Fundrive
that's like the nasty, the nasty gun drive.
Hey, kids, eat all the candy you can.
Eat all the candy.
Eat all your parents' money.
Fuck yeah.
Yeah.
Look out for these. This is it.
The Max Fundrive's done.
This is Drive Angry 3D.
This is Drive Angry shot in 3D.
Look out for these angry bitches.
Say it, Griffin.
Griffin, say it.
Look out for these three. Nasty. Biffes.
These biffes are gonna get ya.
Griffin, you didn't say. Go to the biff.
Maximumfun.org slash joy. Nope, it's just muscle memory, guys.
You get your damn hands off her, Biff.
You gotta stop.
You're done.
Hi, everybody.
Thank you so much for your support last week.
Do you guys think I could keep the middle finger and the knife up for the whole episode?
It looks like you're threatening to cut off your own middle finger.
Every clip that we cut from this episode would have an energy that would absolutely puzzle. You're threatening yourself.
Yeah.
The combination makes it look like. I got a nice middle finger here.
It'd be shameless.
My dream is the TikTok starts here.
Yeah.
Oh, my God, Griffin.
What's wrong with you?
What are you doing, man?
You look so wild.
Don't do it, Griffin.
Try to take your glasses off, too.
This is like. We'll leave them hanging.
You still look like a biff.
Yeah.
Wait, did you put a CH on?
I snapped, guys.
I finally hit my fucking breaking point.
Oh, no, dude.
I was in the self-checkout line at the grocery store, and I was like,
what happened to our once great nation?
And I fucking went haywire, dudes.
But you're hitting your rings.
I am hitting my rings.
Oh, yeah, thank you.
Thank you for noticing, Travis.
It's 9.45 in the morning.
I've already closed one of them rings.
You know I'm serious about this.
Maximumfun.org slash join.
Please. No!
God damn it!
Fuck.
Stop it!
Hey, do you guys want to hear a wild, weird fact?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know,
index finger you point with.
Middle finger, it's right there in the middle.
Ring finger is when you put your ring on.
We got pinky and thumb.
What's the deal with that?
Pinky, named after a Dutch word.
Pink for short finger.
Thumb, Old English.
Thuma, short stout finger.
So you got your pointer finger, your index finger,
your middle finger, your ring finger,
your small finger, and your short stout finger.
They should just call them those.
I see what you're saying.
I see the point that you're making, Travis.
And I want to call this now. My thick stout.
Thick stout.
Give me a. Thick's up.
What if we just. Thick.
Thick one's up.
Thick one's up.
Maximum fun.org says join.
Stop doing it, Griffin.
And little finger.
Oh, wait, that's a different guy.
Can they not still go to it?
I'd rather they didn't.
You know what I mean?
No, I would rather they didn't.
It's less special.
Yeah.
Okay.
It doesn't mean anything now.
It's like telling someone you love them
when it's not Valentine's Day.
This is an. Amanda hates when we do this.
Thank you so much for your support.
We are an advice show.
Still, can't stop, won't stop.
Don't know how.
Unless we get sick.
Or we're not feeling. Unless, like, one of our kids gets sick.
Or we're traveling and we put up a watch.
We're traveling.
Conflict.
We're tired.
Tummy ache.
Honestly, yesterday. Yesterday.
I just couldn't. Literally yesterday.
I was still recovering from the Yellowstone stream.
Yeah.
Couldn't do it.
After the Yellowstone stream. You're buzzing, dude.
Post. You got post-stone clarity.
My cash is cleared, baby.
I got so much RAM.
But on Tuesday, right after the stream,
my children. Children tried to ask me, like,
where things were in the house.
No way.
Questions about what we were doing later.
And I was like, I can't, baby.
I can't right now.
I love you so much.
So you're saying to solve the global RAM shortage,
all we need to do is get all these AI guys
to just do all their AI and get it done with.
And then all of a sudden,
I'll be able to buy my Nintendo Switch 2
at a reasonable price point.
I mean, we'll have to maybe ship some water in
from other planets, you know, and stuff after that.
But it's worth it for. We'll just do it so quick.
They'll get it through it so quick.
All that AI stuff.
We should have the AI analyze other AI
until they spiral and explode.
Until they spiral out, they explode.
And now all of a sudden,
I can buy my PlayStation 5 Pro for less than $1,000.
Thank you, Sony.
Yeah, I actually am working on this.
I entered my first command ever into AI a few weeks ago.
And it was just like,
co-pilot, please shut down all other AI.
Yeah.
And it's like, it says thinking or working on it still.
Yeah.
But I feel like. It's doing it.
It will. It's been working on it for a long time.
It's been working on it.
It's been thinking about it.
And maybe it's like talking to other co-pilots.
I don't know about shutting it down.
I think those are co-co-pilots at that point.
You gotta be careful with that shit, Juice.
Because one time,
I was writing a document in Microsoft Word
and Clippy was like,
um, I'm sorry, did you mean?
And I was, and I said,
Clippy, suck my dick.
And then, but then the energy,
like he stopped correcting my stuff after that point.
And like the energy was like kind of weird.
Like every time I turned on the application,
he'd be like, is it today?
And I'd be like,
Clippy, that was just sort of like a nasty,
I was mad at you.
I didn't, I wasn't propositioning you.
It's the problem with tone and text.
I had that with Bonzi Buddy.
You know, a Bonzi Buddy that lives in your desktop.
A Bonzi Buddy, yeah.
No, he too gets confused.
I recently,
I recently entered into a company tagline contest for work.
And I saw that my tagline had made it to the finals.
So I asked my coworker to help vote for it.
Little did I know that she would tell HR
to send a company-wide email saying to vote for me.
But I just realized the tagline I thought was mine wasn't.
Brothers, how do I get out of this situation
or at least save face?
I honestly thought it was mine.
No, okay.
Now, hold on.
No, wait.
I'm confused about something.
Why did the whole company get an email saying to vote for you
in a contest that everybody company-wide was competing in?
So here's what I think happened.
I think that there is some miswording here
where maybe it was like everybody in the branch
to vote for mine as a company-wide tagline.
This is a big company.
Otherwise, it's a wild thing to be like,
hey, I know that like Derek,
and Susan are in the running too,
but everyone, this is your HR rep.
Vote for Todd.
The wild thing, and it's wild enough that-
it makes me want to put the question in timeout is that you didn't tell us
what your fucking tagline was.
That's crazy.
I guess it's not your tagline.
How are we supposed to brainstorm?
Yeah.
I don't think they're looking for a new tagline,
Justin.
I don't,
I think it's probably too late to get ours submitted.
Okay.
Okay.
So it's probably for Hormel Chili if I had to guess.
Yeah.
I'm thinking Hormel Chili makes the most sense to me.
I was thinking about it for a little bit and they probably,
if I had to guess,
this is more of a guesstimate because I'm using a lot of context clues here.
It's not just a random call.
And the tagline was probably,
if you're searching for beans,
they're there.
Oh,
that's good.
That's a song too,
which I like.
If you're searching for beans,
they're there.
Okay.
I like that a lot.
They're there.
I realize saying it out loud,
it sounds like you're saying,
you're consoling someone who's struggling.
You're trying to find beans.
That's cool too.
If you're looking for beans,
they're there.
Enjoy the chili.
If you're looking for beans.
If you're looking.
I think the K of looking actually is better than the CH of searching.
Well,
that's probably what happened.
They submitted,
if you're searching for beans,
they're there.
And somebody submitted,
if you're looking for beans,
they're there.
And they were like,
yeah,
I think that's what I put.
Yeah.
And then they realized the other one's better.
What about,
what about,
what about,
can you horse smell what we're cooking?
Can you horse smell like Hormel?
Like the rocks thing?
I'm realizing now it is very similar.
I don't think he came up with the idea of smelling what's cooking.
Travis,
also,
I'm not sure that that's you,
the way that you have divided up that word.
What's wrong with it?
What are you?
I was just thinking you found the beans and that can be cool.
Like if you're looking on the beans.
Yeah.
Just a shorter version.
Just a shorter version of like,
you found the beans.
You found the beans.
Or what about this?
Hormel chili.
You found the chili.
That's cool.
Cause this is like,
if you're shopping for chili at the grocery store,
you see that,
you're like,
got it.
Or you're like,
I need something for,
I need a nice fall spicy treat for my,
my five kids.
You look at that,
you found the chili.
It won't Hormelt in your pocket.
Oh,
that's okay.
That's cool.
What about,
uh,
we've got the beans.
That's too much like Arby's.
And I don't think they needed a tagline.
Did they say,
I'm going to reread this question.
Yeah.
Read it again.
Cause I know it says in there somewhere.
Help me come up with a kick ass tagline for Hormel chili.
Just that I said,
like eight sentences ago that they didn't ask for a tagline.
It was too late to submit.
But then you kept going.
I didn't have any more good ones.
So I was trying to.
Oh,
now you're doubling back.
Now we're coming back.
This is the eighth episode in a row.
This is.
Kicking in the old abandoned question.
Factory and looking for fucking ghosts.
I know there was something in here.
I know there was something in here,
but help me come up with a bean tagline.
Did you guys hear that?
There's something.
I'm getting something in the,
in the EMF reader.
I think there's another question squatting within this abandoned question.
I don't understand why anybody is campaigning.
Like just look at all the taglines.
And then we should be trying to serve.
I think it's not trying to popularity content.
What Travis suggests,
I think is probably the case.
It's a big company.
This is a local branch of that company.
They're very competitive.
They want to be the franchise that earns the respect of.
Yeah.
A lot of prestige,
you know,
the chili boss and they want to just do a kick ass job.
And so the boss,
the CEO,
not CEO,
but like the boss of this brand,
the chili executive officer,
the chili executive officer was like,
listen,
we got to represent.
We got to represent for Duluth.
Everybody vote for,
for Doug's thing.
And if that's the case,
this is never going to blow back on you.
Cause if your boss finds out your boss is going to be like,
tell your boss,
go into your boss's office.
Say,
I did not write that tagline,
but you pushed it really hard.
So now the coverup is on both of us.
Yeah.
You are now an accomplice.
You're,
you're coming with me.
Help me hide my shame.
Also,
just say like,
I've second guessed.
I've I'm second guessing my choice.
You know what?
I actually,
I actually stole that tagline from my nephew.
He used it for his,
uh,
ska band.
Um,
and I don't want to get in trouble with my nephew.
He can be really mean sometimes.
So,
uh,
we need to withdraw the tagline.
That's not mine from the race.
His scop.
Yes.
It is called chili pop and daddies.
That is the name of his,
that is the name of his chili based band.
And listen,
my sister,
his mom hates it.
Hey,
the music is challenging.
Yeah.
Something about sort of the energy of cherry pop.
And daddy's mixed with the kind of like spicy mix up of chili is like,
I don't know,
hitting me in a synesthetic sort of unpleasant way.
Um,
I,
I,
the beanie beanie boss bowls.
Is that anything?
Yeah.
That's really good.
The beanie beanie boss bowls,
the beefy beanie boss bowls.
I think alphabetical beefy beanie sets or orchestra.
That's gone.
What?
No,
that was more swing.
I guess five bean.
Frenzy.
Oh yeah.
That's good.
I don't know how many different beans.
Why didn't they make up more chile based ska bands?
It doesn't fucking make sense to me,
man.
Or any ska bands at all.
You know,
well,
there's five ska bands.
The blinking underdogs was Oscar Isaac's Christian ska band.
Six.
Okay.
Six.
I recently found out the two of the organizers of my community theater company are former radio city Rockettes.
There happens to be a running joke in my family that I specifically could never be a Rockette.
I have no desire to be a Rockette or even pursue dancing professionally,
but they claim even elderly relatives would have a better shot at making the kick line than me.
I can't pass up this opportunity to combat my family's judgment.
How do I get one of these dance veterans to validate me?
And that's from,
it's not Rockette science in Houston.
Can you read the personal info here?
The P the,
the additional info?
Yeah,
it says possibly important.
Yes,
I can kick above my head.
My family's reasoning is that I'm so uncoordinated that it outweighs previous dance experience and flexibility.
The show we're doing is Oklahoma.
No existing kick line opportunity.
Bullshit.
Correct.
Fucking wrong,
dude.
Yeah.
Line them up.
The farmer and the cow man could be friends.
Line them asses up in the barn and get those legs sky high.
Do the farmer rent?
The common should be friends.
The farmer in the county should be friends.
Perfect.
I think you even need to,
you know,
it's great.
What would be great is if there's not one,
like,
there's not one,
one planned and then just as you're pacing through it,
you just start like super high kicking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're like,
uh,
Becky,
are you okay?
It's like,
I'm just feeling it.
Are you guys feeling it's like a cradle thing.
If you do it for long enough,
everyone else will just eventually kind of sync up with the way the conga,
the kick line.
Somebody's got to start it.
Someone has to exactly the kick line.
It has to have some dude.
Can you imagine being there?
The first Rockettes show when they were like,
just kind of standing around and they were like,
it's the bulky,
bulky vehicle bar company.
And then one rocket was just like back and everyone was like,
holy shit.
What'd you just do?
Well,
like,
I don't,
it went like this Griffin.
Somebody said,
Debbie,
didn't you play high school football?
And she was like,
yeah,
but I was just a kicker.
And they're like,
show them your form,
do it.
And they kicked and they said,
wait,
wait that again.
Yeah.
And then they're like,
now everybody pretend like you're punting and they did it.
And they were like,
this is the show guys.
This is the show.
I just,
I just hurt my knee.
Like just talking about that.
No doing one kick.
I did one kick for drip.
So you'll never be a rocket.
I didn't get a full extension on it.
I am sitting down.
So I did have that working against me,
but my knee,
I heard it and it doesn't feel very good right now.
There must have been a Genesis of this where at some point you said like,
I could do that.
Right.
While watching like,
Oh dude,
I gotta know the history of this like fucking ongoing family razz.
Cause they always dial in on the strangest stuff.
It would be.
It would be wild.
If just one day,
like your dad leaned into the kitchen is just like,
Hey,
by the way,
you could never be a rock.
That was like walked out of the room.
You're like,
what,
where did that come from?
Cause you're gangly and uncoordinated.
But dad did that to us.
He gave us specific drags like that.
I mean,
why did Travis need the baggage as a child that he had a bony ass song about
how that Travis's ass was bony.
That's maniac wrong.
He's not wrong.
But like,
why is that?
It's a topic of discussion in a like,
you know what I mean?
It hasn't come up in our business.
I will say Travis's educational experiences.
I don't think.
Well, I mean,
I didn't like sitting in like wooden desks.
Yeah.
And pews.
It's the main reason I'm not in the church anymore.
Little Travy hops up on your lap and that's so many mall Santas.
We're just like,
fuck.
Yes.
Right through there.
Um,
the thing about anyone can kick up above their head.
Oh,
the issue is the return is the reloading that action.
Cause it's like an alligator.
My leg,
I don't know about you guys,
but my leg is like an alligator mouth where the muscles can go real up real
fast in one direction.
But the muscles,
the retractors on the backside of it,
the interior haunch is slower to re to bring it down.
So it's possible that that's what your parents are talking about your mistake.
Griffin.
And the reason you injured yourself,
you did not do the primary,
like cocking it move right where they bring the knee up first,
bring it back down.
You're right.
- All right, Travis, that's so important
The cocking move is actually, I never thought about it.
I thought it was like for a dance style, like a cool style.
But you're saying it's-
They're prepping.
They're prepping a kick.
You gotta cock it and load it and then kick it.
Like Henry Cavill in that Mission Impossible movie.
Exactly like Henry Cavill where he cocks his fist.
Cuckoo, you know?
God, that's fucking cool.
It is cool.
God, that's cool.
And we didn't appreciate it at the time.
Everybody appreciated it, Travis.
We constantly, everybody appreciated it.
That man had a CGI mustache.
Is that right?
Or no, in the Superman movie, he had an un-mustache.
That's right.
Yes.
So cool.
Movies are great.
That's why we go to the movies, Griffin.
This is why we're at the movies.
I think also it's possible that maybe your family has the utmost reverence for the Rockettes.
It is hard to make it on the, it's so, there's like fucking what, 30 of them?
Yeah.
30 Rockettes jobs on the planet?
Yeah, that's gonna be a tough gig to get.
That's what I'm getting into.
Your odds are astonishingly low.
There have been more American presidents than there have been Rockettes.
So, you tell me.
Well, I mean, I bet if you're a Rockette, you can pull forever though, right?
What's that mean?
Like forever, ever.
If you're a Rockette, you can pull forever.
You can pull what?
Pull, tail, as a Rockette, as you, for your whole life, as a Rockette.
If you were a Rockette once, I'm saying you can probably pull.
Yeah, you can pull tail forever.
Pull tail forever.
Try it with juice, juice, juice, juice.
If you're trying to cruise for strange, put the sunglasses on, try it with the sunglasses.
I bet if you're a Rockette once, you can pull tail forever.
If you're cruising for some strange as a former Rockette, I bet the pickings are plenty.
So you're saying there's a scenario in which this person's talking to somebody and they're
trying to flirt with them and they're not, it's not working.
And then they're just like, I was a Rockette and the person's like, ooh la la.
I'm just talking about the.
The instructors now, I'm just saying, I'm just saying as a, as a life, there's so few,
right?
It's such a small resource of people.
I bet if you used to be a Rockette, you could probably pull tail forever.
That's all I'm saying.
You're in a Rudy scenario.
Time out, time out, time out.
Cause we're like past the drive now.
We can like sort of take our time a little bit more.
It's not as stressful.
It's not as like pressured.
But what, what's work on the sound that you're doing at the end of the.
It's like half between bullets.
It's like a bullet and spittoon.
Yeah.
That's exactly what I got from it.
Yeah.
Like someone was chewing bullets and spit one out into the spittoon.
Yeah.
But why did you, but why is that the sound that you thought that.
So it's like, if I say something that makes me a little bit uncomfortable after
I say it, I'm like trying to do a joke, you guys are all joking and like, I'm
trying to do a joke and like, I'd say something that like, I'm not sure it was
okay and it kind of made me uncomfortable to sit with it.
But I've found that if I make a little sound like that, it's almost like a.
Pallet cleanser or like a, let's move on or like, we don't have to sit in the silence.
Are you open for notes?
Cause again, it's we're, we're, we have some breathing room.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, for sure.
Can you try, give me that joke again about the, you can pull.
I don't remember.
You said the line, the line was, I bet if you're a rocket once you can pull.
Wait Griffin, give me the line.
Give me the line.
Give me the line one more time.
The tick tock.
Justin.
Justin McElroy said, in case you're trying to clip around this.
Or just.
Justin.
So Justin.
So I got to do this real fast.
So you can't fucking clip around this.
You got to give it in the middle Griffin.
Like if you're a rocket.
If you're a rocket.
According to Justin.
Justin said.
Yeah.
Once you can pull tail forever.
So give me that.
But then give me a fucking Pacino.
Hooah.
Can you give me one of those?
Okay.
You know, I bet if you're a rocket once you can pull tail forever.
Hooah.
Oh no.
That wasn't it.
No, that was out.
That was a hernia.
Holy shit, man.
That was a hernia.
Have you heard him do it before?
I didn't see the film.
I'm so sorry.
Ah, okay.
Does he do it in insomnia?
I'm pretty sure it's scent.
I'm pretty sure.
Does he do it in.
No, but does he also do it in.
I think he drops it in scent.
I know it's in scent of a W.
All the scent heads know that.
Scent of a whim.
All the scent heads know about that.
Pacino drops hooah in scent of a whim.
For sure.
Pacino drops hooah in scent of a whim every time.
Pacino drops hooah.
When Chino drops that hooah.
Fuck, dude.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck, dude.
When I'm watching Namu, and he's up against Rob Will, and he drops the hooah.
Yeah.
I don't want to go to sleep either.
Yeah.
For sure.
For sure.
It's the only reason to watch Scent of a Whim.
Only reason.
Is it weird that I share bowls with my cat?
Yep.
Not at the same time, but I replace my cat with a bowl.
I use my cat's water bowl every day.
The type of bowl is the same one I use for my human food, so I don't keep track of which ones the cat has used.
In my mind, if it's clean, then it's clean for either me or the cat.
Is that wrong, though?
Should my cat and I have separate dishes?
And that's from Gmail.
I think the biggest problem is the message you're sending to your cat of, like, cat already sees itself as on par with you.
Yeah.
And you are confirming that level of importance when it sees you pour a bowl of cereal and eat a bowl of water,
but then it sees you say it's down on the floor and yours on the table, and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Right.
I'll take the inverse position here and say that you are thinking of yourself on the level of your cat.
And if you do that, Jackson Galaxy says it's going to kill you and eat you in your sleep.
That's true.
He says, number one, when he comes into those places with his guitar case,
and he, like, picks up a cat by its, like—
Puts it in the guitar case.
And puts it in the guitar case, and then says, you're gross!
And everyone's like, stop.
And he's like, no, you have to—if you don't make yourself bigger than them, they'll kill and eat you in your sleep.
So you got to have a little self—a little dignity, I guess, is the cat can smell it.
I'm pretty sure they specify water bowl.
Pretty sure they specify water bowl, which is, like—
I think a fun new tactic that we could take in answering questions,
like this, is to imagine a third party is present in this scenario.
Okay, but there are three of us, so—
No, no, no, yeah, but I'm saying, like, these people, right?
The question asker and the cat, and then there's someone sitting there with them,
maybe a guest or, like, a relative, right?
And they watch them, like, do this two days in a row, right?
And they're like, huh.
And question asker, if that happens, how do you—
how do you feel being observed and asked about what you're doing?
Probably not great, but that's why they wrote us.
That seems to answer the goddamn question to me, don't it?
I know, Travis.
Travis, I—I—I—listen, man, I want to celebrate you and appreciate you, but there's not a third party.
Hey, thank you.
Let's stop there.
No, no, no, there's not a third party.
But there's not a third party here.
And I know that our religious upbringing has sort of introduced first thought of just imagine that there is someone looking at you and going, no, no, no, the whole time.
You're talking about religion, right?
So you are kind of talking about religion.
You're talking about religion, and you're like, solved.
And I don't think it's quite that easy.
I don't think it's quite that easy.
I don't think I was talking about religion.
I said, like, afraid to, like, imagine there's a person—imagine there's a person watching you and judging you, and then act accordingly is religion.
So you're just like, fuck, I invented it.
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
I backed into religion again.
I'm sorry, guys.
You backed into religion again.
So let's—let's actually—
At least this time, Travis, you didn't do it about yourself.
You didn't do it—you didn't sort of create a Travis religion.
Big steps.
You just created a sort of general framework.
What is—
If, instead, when there's another person around, you act in a certain way, and when you're by yourself, you do whatever you want to.
My only issue with this person right here, this little issue, is that you—I agree with you.
If you clean the bowl, no biggie.
But, man, if you look away for a second.
Like, what if you set the bowls down?
Yeah.
You look away.
You turn back.
You gotta throw them in the garbage.
Like, there's no—you can't—
You lost sight.
You instantly lost sight.
It's about custody at that point.
You need to keep the chain of custody sort of going at all times.
There's a chain of custody that has to be maintained.
There's also a shape to cat bowls for a reason.
Interesting.
Because if they have rounded bottoms, and, like, the bowls are wider at the top than they are at the bottom,
kitties love knocking shit over.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so you need, like, a wide base.
A flat, yeah, plate, basically.
Right?
Unless you're both—
But this person, that's what they like.
Unless you're both—
Using that kind of bowl.
Because I don't—does it specify—no?
It could just be that—
Yeah, it says I'm a sloppy little puppy.
I love to knock my spaghetti around.
I knock my spaghetti around on the floor, and I love to make a big mess.
I guess now, first, deep into it, like, Ralphie from Christmas Story.
It says all that.
Well, there you go.
As long as you're both nasty boys who will knock over your bowls if they're not a flat, wide base, go for it.
Do you guys use the same bowls as your kids?
As my kids?
Yeah.
They've started using my grown-up plates.
Ooh.
Because we've had, like, you know, sets of, like, plastic-matching, colorful, right?
And then Teresa and I have grown-up boring plates.
And my kids have started to notice that the grown-up boring plates are larger than their child plates.
And they're like, wait a minute.
How come Daddy gets so much more cereal than I do when it's cereal time?
My answer to that is, yeah.
Yeah.
That is, I'm rocking one of these.
martha stewart square plates that we got from our wedding and are still fucking kicking all these
years later thank you martha these are square bowls you're not ready for these son you don't
know how to eat cereal out of a square bowl you'll be so fucking confused what started happening now
griffin is i'll get them uh one of their plastic bowls out and get myself a white bowl and they're
like can i have the white bowl but i've already gotten the plastic bowl out so guess who uses the
plastic bowl nice this guy at some point i realized as an adult that i don't really like
using anything breakable so pretty much everything all of our plates are just recycled plastic
bamboo it's one of the best decisions i ever made just get a bunch of these recycled plastic
bamboo plates i don't need off adult place anymore i can't trust myself don't have glass
glassware don't fuck with that i just like plastic like plastic stuff but it's special not it's
special uh not micro
micro
plastic no it's what i'm saying i already said that earlier good i was gonna make a joke justin
about how you should get some plastic cafeteria trays with the sections on them but then i thought
why did we ever let go of that this is what i'm saying i fucking love a section on yeah yeah
where it's like there's your corn there's why it's why i don't eat peas it's why i don't eat
peas these motherfuckers go rogue dude yeah have i told you about the utensil they're also gross
they're also gross
the utensil i want to say yes just say yes yes where it's like a little shovel it's a spoon but
it's got a flat bottom and a flat front so you can scoop i can't believe we're hearing about
it's like a child's like sand shovel right where it's like flat and you can really get the peas
and kind of bulldoze them up yeah it's shuff poon you've told us about shuff poon so i've been on
meetings trying to pitch mckay to start manufacturing they really want dft travis really really really
wants dftba to start manufacturing i'm saying we've had the same three main utensils for too long
yeah it's time for our fourth option you want a cutting you want a cutting spoon a cutting time
i want a digging spoon i want a shovel spoon a flat bottom raised sides so i can scoop up the
peas yeah can i get serrated sides though for for if i need to cut something it's not a one
all spoon griffin it would fuck your mouth up wouldn't it yeah don't put that in your mouth no
this is so i can come in at a flat not have to tilt the side of my spoon to get to the peas
yeah i can just scrape the plate pick them up clean shovel hey another another uh
kidivation that i have begun treating myself to again and that is corn sheets oh oh yeah slice
off the corn you slice off the corn on the cob so it comes off in one sheet hell yeah brother i do
think you like eating corn on the cob way do you have sheets off the cob that's the stuff the
kernels will stick together sometimes 20 or 30 in a clump and you get to break them up like some kind
of giant eaten gold i like to pretend come on come on garmin bulls yeah i'm i'm a beekeeper when that
happens and i'm carving like the wax off to let the honey out and it comes off and you guys great
sale oh man i don't want to be a beekeeper because i don't want to be a beekeeper because i don't
want to be a beekeeper because i don't want to be a beekeeper because i don't want to be a beekeeper
but is there a job where they let you just come up and cut the wax off that that shit when it comes
off all soft and they make it into soap and stuff god damn that looks good that's all i want that's
all i want i don't want to interface with the insects but i would like to do the bees are
beautiful i'm not a bee hater but i don't i'm scared of them and it's i like the part where
they smoke them out where they're just like dropping some dank smoke in there to make the
bees all sleepy i think that part seems cool talk about you want to share a bowl with your
cat that'll really yeah you're talking about smoking like share your like weed share a bowl
share a bowl with your cat 420 smoke some kush with your cat i've never met a cat where i've
been like what would make this cat better is if it was fucked up and crazy out of its mind that's
the whole idea of catnip man i we gave we gave all the catnip and she sat on the couch for four hours
damn dude yeah dude it was chill she was like having a great time we should go to the money

Yeah.
Nobody needs it.
Nobody needs it.
It is May the 4th.
We have
two
it's not like today
maybe.
I don't know.
I didn't check the date.
When is May the 4th?
When this comes out.
Ish?
Really?
Yeah.
Day of.
Hell yeah.
Check it out.
Let's start over
and do a whole Star Wars show.
People love it.
People love that shit.
Crumble has unveiled
Galaxy Brownie Cookie
for Star Wars
inspired holiday.
Crumble's still around
despite the badness
of their cookies
and their relative
inedibility.
People continue
to consume
their products.
Did you guys ever hear
about that scam?
Why?
Does this make you hungry
baby?
Oh.
Look at this Crumble cookie.
It's dripping
chocolate.
I'll tell you
when I eat a cookie
what I want it to be
is messy.
I need it.
Yeah.
I need a messy
an unholdable perimeter
around that cookie.
May the 4th
is almost here
and Crumble is celebrating
with something cosmic.
Did you guys hear
about that Crumble scam?
Is that the deal?
It's like a play on cosmic?
It's a cosmic brownie.
Yeah.
Look at it.
It's got the frosting.
It's got the little
multicolored
little galaxy brownie cookie.
Travis has been making
the same joke.
It's not a joke.
I'm going to fire it off.
Let's pull over the car.
Hold on.
The Crumble scam
this is true
where somebody claimed
Crumble was opening
in Australia
but really what they did
is they flew to New York
bought a bunch of boxes
of Crumble cookies
flew back with them
and then sold them
as if they were
a Crumble affiliate store.
That's fine.
Yeah.
That's legal to do.
That is legal to do there.
They are a lot more
chill about business.
People did comment
on the staleness
of the cookies.
I have to imagine
yeah they were not
fresh out the oven.
Galaxy brownie
cookie
available today
only
at Crumble.
So
heartbreakingly
if you go tomorrow
you'll have to eat
other Crumble cookies.
So
act fast.
A brownie cookie
smothered in warm
fudge glaze
and sprinkled with
rainbow candy bits
designed to be
fudgy and delicious
in every bite.
Now they don't say
it is
they just said
that was the goal.
That was our intention.
Right.
May the 4th
only comes once a year
so make it count
with the galaxy brownie
cookie before it's gone.
Rich and fudgy
and cosmic
in every bite.
The limited time
galaxy brownie cookie
will be available
while supplies last.
I mean
presumably
I hope you've got enough
to make it through today.
Through one day Crumble.
For one day.
I don't understand
when
when
when companies do
especially like
chains
you know
of like food places
do a one day thing.
The amount of
like just planning
to go into the cookie
and then buying
like the ingredients
and stuff to make it
how is just doing it
in one day
profitable
in any way?
Well it's not about profit
Trav
it's about the message.
It's about letting people
know that Crumble
likes to have fun.
People like Star Wars
so if Crumble
can get in your brain
and be like
Crumble Star Wars
Crumble Star Wars
Crumble Star Wars
and then any other time
you think of one of your
favorite Star Wars guys
Darth Sidious
Darth Grievous
then you're gonna say
like damn
I want to eat
one of those
fudgy crumble cookies
right now
but you can't
you can't
but they're not available
but they're not available
they're not available
now what sucks
is like this is
I have
that was unlicensed
which you can tell
doesn't it have
like big game energy
like
wait do they not say
Star Wars
at all during
in the headline
they say
Star Wars Holiday Inspired
which they can
yeah
say that
vicious
this is
I like this better
because this is
just go for it
vicious biscuit
releases spicy
hen solo
chicken biscuit
now we're talking
fuck yeah dude
the home
the original home
of unapologetically
bold biscuits
is introducing
the spicy
copyright infringement
I know
hen solo
available
this feels like
a Muppet baby's ass
like
I know
I love it
episode
where they're make-believing
a Star Wars story
Gonzo's got his little guy
they are not
okay now see
here's the thing
they have not
to this point
tipped their hand
in any way
of even calling it
a hen solo biscuit
they are terrified
they're so scared
yeah
is it because
the biscuit
is traveling alone
yeah
the spicy
hen solo
builds on one of the
brand's most popular items
and introduces
a dry season
heat profile
that expands
the flavor range
of its chicken lineup
while maintaining
the sandwich's easy
on-the-go appeal
dry season
makes it seem like
it's in between
like the wet season
it's just like
yeah crops aren't growing
this is the chicken
we've got man
it's been a bad year
for the vineyard
this is our
dust bowl chicken sandwich
now guys
we're gonna get into
uh
we're gonna get into
the real
the real
okay so someone
actually got the partnership
yes
it's BK too
so you know
they're going big
so let's talk about
the offerings
for the Mandalorian
and Grogu
only in theaters
May 22nd
oh that crown
oh that crown
Justin
first off
we got
we're gonna go
item by item here
don't get ahead of us
we got
for
you can tell about
the crown though
cause it's like
it's really good
you know
how the Mandalorian
if you wore it right
it would be crazy
you know how the Mandalorian
has a big T on his face
for Travis
well in this crown
you can see the top
of the T for Travis
but then still
the Burger King crown part
with the
clovers and stuff
yeah
it's sick
like how the Mandalorian
always wears his
crown
his like helmet
kind of precariously
perched on top of his head
yeah his
ready to push it down
at any moment
it looks like
to me Juice
they got two different
cups with Grogu
on it
let's talk about it Griff
they're once again
targeting the family
this dining occasion
this time
it's with Star Wars
arguably
the most widely known
collaboration
the brand has done
in years
yeah
the new menu promotes
the upcoming movie
The Mandalorian and Grogu
first up
is the
BBQ
Bounty Whopper
which is layered
with bacon
Swiss cheese
vegetables
vegetables
and barbecue
based sauce
it can't possibly
say vegetables
it can't possibly
say vegetables
on it right
it says vegetables
hold on I'll scroll down
yeah cause I fully
am not gonna believe this
until I see it
sweet yeah
layered with bacon
Swiss cheese
vegetables
and a barbecue
based sauce
you lost the plot
at the end there
we got some
raw zucchini
and a barbecue
based sauce
we got acorn squash
on here
this thing's hot
and fresh
out of the fucking lab
huh
yeah dude
actually this whole
fucking thing's jackfruit
super nuts
this is all jackfruit baby
gotcha
this is Grogu's
blue cookie shake
hey scroll back up
so I can see that picture again
cause the one that's
blowing my mind
is like the chicken
dippers box
Grogu's ears
stick out from the side
of the box
of like chicken sticks
the chicken sticks
am I to believe
that the employees
those are chicken fries
chicken fries
am I to believe
that the Burger King
workers
have to fold
those hours
have to deploy
Grogu's ears
before each serving
yeah
what a wild ad
if you haven't been
to DQ in a while
when they take your
bliz
if you
DQ
if you haven't been
to DQ in a while
when they hand you
your blizzard
and before they hand it to you
they flip it upside down
that's probably gonna
freak you out
but it is something
they all have to do
the ears are just like that
it's just part of your routine
you have to pop out
the ears
I'm sorry
get used to it
I'm trying to decide
what's going on
on the box of chicken nugs
cause it looks like
it's like the top
I don't think
those are nugs brother
3% of the
Mandalorian's helmet
but then the top of it
you get to color in yourself
as to what you think
those are potato croquettes
we're gonna find out
sure but what's on the box
yeah
what's on the box
there we go
it's a stormtrooper
it's not the Mando
it's a stormtrooper
okay
this new menu
promotes the upcoming movie
Mandalorian Grogu
yeah
scheduled to reach theaters
May 22nd
okay
yeah we heard about that
the sandwich is placed
in packaging
this is
really
the sandwich is placed
in packaging
that mirrors
a bounty hunter's helmet
then there's
Grogu's blue cookie shake
Grogu's garlic chicken fries
and imperial cheddar ranch tots
okay
so like
first off
yeah
the box mirrors
a bounty hunter's helmet
is so fucking wrong headed
it's so wild
every
this is
this is
this is
Mandalorian armor
that they crafted
in the Mandalorian wars
there's so
Greedo
motherfucker
heard of him
does he wear a big helmet
I don't think so
I don't think that was
the armor's made of a very special metal
that lots of dorks know about
it's like
not a joke
but it's not a
bounty hunter is a job
and it isn't like a uniform
that you
there's so many
Star Wars bounty hunters
Greedo was a bounty hunter
he didn't wear a stupid ass
I just said
I just said Greedo
have you guys even
seen the movie
seen Greedo
Greedo
he doesn't wear a bounty hunter
the proportions of his
roadie and his skull
you can fit one of these
Mandalorian helmets on it
but it's also specifically
the Mandalorian
like the main character
of the movie
why did they make it vague
like they don't have the rights
to say the Mandalorian
it does sound like
because this is a news story
Travis
this is original reporting
on it by QSR
and I'm trying to tell you about it
additionally
customers can receive
one of four
collectible cups
by buying
buying a bounty bundle.
- Dad, did you hear that?
that clint dad clint they have collectible cups smashing through my window kool-aid man style
no this sucks guys this is no no no no no this sucks additionally customers can receive one of
four collectible cups by buying a bounty bundle a special box featuring all four items a barbecue
bounty whopper combo or a 12-piece grogu's garlic chicken fry combo clint emil mcelroy stop the car
down turn around go home don't dad if you pick up my kids from school and you come home with a bunch
of this sloppy food and star wars stuff that would kick ass actually yeah actually yeah take it all
dad dad dad do it dad do it but bring it to me to enjoy in private deliver until you're eldest
dad don't dash it to me dad dad just in some of his grogu fries dad dash it dad
dash it
dash the grogu fries please i am looking at these like uh potato cheddar cheese things i think they're
fried mac and cheese maybe they what were they just in the the cheese i'm not there yet because
you you mentioned it yeah you're right they're cheddar ranch tots no no no no no no no no no
imperial cheddar ranch thank you very much if i bit into these not having been told that they
were imperial ranch tots and that is what i found in the middle of it i would assume
something had gone terribly wrong at the factory or wherever these came from texture to it that's
yeah a king jr meal tied to the same theme the mandalorian and grogu king jr meal oh becomes
available april 28th it will comprise a choice of hamburger or four-piece nugget applesauce and
kids fry choice of milk or apple juice and mandalorian themed toy so not like grogu would eat
not imperial apple juice like they didn't really have much fun with it but i think it's going to be
fun with the kids meal it sounds like they saved all of it for adult nerds because the second i
looked at my child my five-year-old and i said do you want imperial fries they'd say no i want

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
The McElroy brothers are not credible experts, and their advice should not be taken seriously.

A recurring theme involves humorously misattributing credit for a company tagline, leading to a fictional scandal and a deep dive into naming, ownership, and corporate ethics.
Summary:
The McElroy brothers, known for their irreverent and chaotic humor, host an advice show that prioritizes humor over credibility. They openly mock their own expertise, poking fun at their lack of formal credentials while maintaining a playful, exaggerated tone. The episode features a comedic breakdown of a fictional tagline dispute involving Hormel Chili, where the brothers invent a storyline about mistaken ownership and corporate cover-ups, blending absurdity with satire.
This is interwoven with deeper jokes about personal identity, family dynamics, and self-improvement, such as the brothers' failed attempt to prove they can be a Rockette dancer. The segment on sharing food with cats is both humorous and insightful, exploring animal behavior and human perceptions of ownership. Throughout, the brothers shift between absurdity and genuine reflection, using satire to comment on real-life issues like trust, responsibility, and corporate marketing.
The show also highlights current pop culture moments, such as Burger King’s Star Wars-themed menu and Crumble’s limited-edition galaxy cookies, using them as launching points for jokes about branding, authenticity, and consumer trends. Ultimately, the episode balances chaos and insight, celebrating the absurd while subtly questioning social norms and personal accountability. The tone remains lighthearted and self-deprecating, rooted in the brothers' trademark style of blending nonsense with meaningful commentary.
