The McElroy brothers are not experts
0:03
and their advice should never be followed. Travis
0:06
insists he's a sexpert but
0:08
if there's a degree on his wall I haven't seen
0:10
it. Also this show
0:12
isn't for kids which I mentioned
0:14
only so the babies out there will know
0:16
how cool they are for listening. What's up

1:11
everybody and welcome to my brother, my

1:15
for the modern era. I'm your
1:17
oldest brother Justin McElroy. What up
1:19
Trav Nation, I'm your middlest brother,
1:21
big dog, wolf, wolf Travis McElroy.
1:23
Really Ada, you ate on
1:25
that one King. Thank you, I've
1:27
been having a lot of allergy issues and I was
1:29
trying not to cough in the middle of my intro.
1:31
I'm just saying, I think those allergy issues are making
1:34
you eat King the way you talk and the way
1:36
that you like to put emphasis on words. I love
1:38
to eat Kings, I eat the rich for breakfast. I'm
1:40
the young Griffin McElroy. And
1:43
I reintroduced myself but I am so proud
1:45
to be part of the local F.F. that
1:48
is re-reading comedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did it. Hey
1:51
guys, did you see that Jerry Seinfeld? Justin,
1:56
that was the most Jay Leno ass
1:58
set up I've ever seen. You
2:01
all seen this thing about Jerry's
2:03
meta, Griffin is meta commentary. Okay,
2:05
meta commentary. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I
2:07
didn't realize it was meta, Justin.
2:10
Yeah. Um. Okay,
2:12
okay. So
2:15
Mr. Seinfeld said that. Incredibly
2:17
topical, hip, wizit, comedian, finger on the
2:19
pulse of the nation, Jerry Seinfeld. Thank
2:22
you for your gifts, Mr. Seinfeld. Beloved,
2:24
beloved 70 year old man, Jerry
2:27
Seinfeld. Yeah. This
2:29
is the quote that everybody's been so excited about.
2:31
In an interview with The
2:33
New Yorker. Nothing really
2:35
affects comedy. People always need it. I'm
2:38
with you. Yeah, okay. They need it
2:40
so badly. Yeah, go off. And
2:42
they don't get it. It
2:44
used to be you'd go home at the end of
2:47
the day. Most people would go, oh, cheers is on.
2:49
Oh, mash is on. Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on.
2:51
All the family is on. You just expected
2:53
there'll be some funny stuff we could watch on
2:55
TV tonight. Well, guess what? Where is it? This
2:58
is the result of the extreme loss in
3:01
PC crap. And people worry so much about
3:03
offending other people. This man, this
3:05
man, okay, this man I know
3:09
does transcendental meditation
3:13
two times a day for 20 minutes.
3:15
Yeah. And at the end of
3:17
one of those, he was like, all right, I
3:20
am complete. I'm in
3:22
a deep ocean thoughts. I'm an
3:24
astronaut in the ocean right now.
3:26
I came back up and it
3:28
turned out that the woke PC
3:30
is ruined comedy. Nothing is on
3:32
TV anymore. Well, Mr. Seifel, Brennan
3:34
Lee Mulligan single-handedly is making enough
3:37
content. What more do you need, sir? We're
3:40
out here making fucking eight shows
3:42
a day, Jerry. This is, okay,
3:45
there's so many, but I
3:47
can't get over that. All of his
3:50
references for comedy on TV are
3:54
like 60 years out of
3:56
date. Not gut, not gut. I love Mary Tyler More
3:58
Show as much as the next person. Not
4:00
a gut buster necessarily. But even then,
4:02
like, you're s- This is a man
4:04
who made a comedy
4:06
show in the 90s and 2000s. You
4:10
need- you need to actually be a little bit more
4:12
careful. Yeah, put some respect on her name, please. Mary
4:15
Tyler Moore is one of the all-time greats. Yeah,
4:17
for sure. It's fucking funny-ass shows, dude. I'm saying,
4:19
it's really, really funny. All-time greats,
4:21
for sure, but there's funnier shit on
4:23
TV now that makes me like, like,
4:25
actually bust the butt up. Does he
4:27
not know that streaming services exist? Is
4:30
he talking about TV in the literal,
4:32
I'm assuming, tube TV with the references
4:34
he made? He must of existed, because
4:36
he's out there fucking pushing the
4:38
envelope on Netflix with a movie about
4:40
how Pop-Tarts were invented. Mmm, nice. Fuck,
4:43
dude! Yeah, that's the leading edge. Calm
4:46
down, there's like the group! Yeah. Shit!
4:49
And the woke- the woke- the
4:51
left is out here like, Pop-Tarts,
4:53
fuck off! No. Those like,
4:55
you're going crazy about this. They
4:57
whipped up into a blizzard over here,
4:59
these things. The SJW's the Strudel Justice
5:01
Ward here. SJW's are
5:03
out here, the SJW's are out here like,
5:06
no, man, make it about Strudel,
5:09
not Pop-Tarts, and they're so angry about it.
5:11
I got the idea that the man who
5:13
made the B-movie thinks that the problem with
5:15
comedy is that no one's out
5:17
here really- Now, just- now you're the one who's on thin-eyed.
5:20
Now, you're the one walking on a razor's
5:22
edge without realizing it. Be very careful, my
5:24
friend. You're in a precarious- I'm just saying,
5:26
if he thinks it's really so important to
5:29
be really pushing everybody- Transgressive, yeah. The
5:32
job of the jester is to turn a mirror
5:34
to the face of the king and say, you're
5:36
all bees, and I'm a bee, and everybody wants
5:38
to fuck the bee, be honest. And everybody
5:41
wants to have sex with bees, be honest. That's
5:43
what you're afraid to hear, king- For
5:46
what it's worth, I don't know that
5:48
Jerry wrote the B-movie. I'm pretty
5:50
sure he just starred in it. Oh
5:53
shit. I bet it's the kind of thing, Griffin, where are we? Nowadays,
5:56
when he shows up, you hand
5:58
him some talking. points for
6:00
the script and you're like Jerry no one's
6:02
more of a B-man than you yeah
6:05
you you he shows up
6:07
in B-face which we have a lot
6:09
of problems with but they know that he's
6:11
in he's in the mind space to just
6:13
freestyle all the lines we can talk as
6:16
much as we want obviously the three of
6:18
us are just trying to sort of notice
6:20
me senpai over here with mr. like we're
6:23
all very fine we're all Jerry senpai
6:27
we've all been we're just begging for
6:29
those scraps notice us recognize
6:31
us please I
6:33
don't want I'd actually rather not take a
6:35
ride in one of
6:38
your don't want Jerry Seinfeld to know who I
6:41
am I actually that's a good point that would
6:43
do way more fucking hard than good at this
6:45
point it would be so weird if they know
6:47
that Jerry Seinfeld knows who I am and might
6:50
have an opinion on me it's just know what
6:52
it's just I'm just in it's
6:55
so infuriating that if you believe
6:57
this is what comedy should be
6:59
doing the promise to woke left
7:02
okay Jerry thank you no
7:04
one has a bigger megaphone
7:07
than you if you want to be pushing
7:09
this nobody's got a bigger man megaphone here's
7:11
your megaphone Jerry what are you gonna do
7:13
with it okay everybody step back Jerry's gonna
7:15
put us all on blast I'm gonna
7:17
drive around with my friends and get coffee brand
7:21
fresh damn Jerry
7:23
slow down dog you
7:26

7:31
world class took Becker away from us I
7:35

7:40
fine folks point name a comedy
7:42

7:44
mean I mean that's a good point you can't
7:46

7:48
adapted the Twitter feed shit my dad said it
7:50
to a show star William Shatner that's one that's
7:53
one that's one that's the one comedy man was
7:55
a plan Okay,
8:00
that's true You
8:02
think I feel like to now hey listen
8:04
Joel McHale I know he's got a lot
8:06
of bites at the apple you should check
8:09
Joel's IMDb you may have more than his
8:11
fair share back there That's true. Okay, so
8:13
okay, so that's some comedies Joel McHale's in
8:15
there, but no one's making Comedies
8:18
every morning like Jerry Seinfeld watched
8:20
the last episode of Big Bang
8:22
Theory and saluted and turned off
8:24
his TV forever And
8:27
he was like that's the last one TV Do
8:31
you guys remember when we finished doing me? Dollars
8:40
to fill with concrete this is my tomb
8:44
With comedy forever You
8:51
guys remember when we made the Mabim
8:53
band TV show and after we finished
8:56
filming the woke left came in to
8:58
the studio And was like sorry guys
9:00
this one's not gonna. We're
9:03
gonna destroy see so Can
9:08
we have it no no no no no no
9:11
no to a bunch Could
9:13
be fair they did tell us a lot of
9:15
the problem had to do with Jonah Ray show
9:18
It was that they were like you guys are
9:20
kind of transgressive, but he's got a fake travel
9:22
so we gotta shut that down Yeah, we gotta
9:24
shut that shit down The
9:29
world left is out here canceling young
9:31
Sheldon canceling Big Bang Theory.
9:33
Oh my god
9:37
I Was gonna
9:39
do a character this week called ever
9:41
Sheldon, and he's a Sheldon that that's
9:43
cool Okay, escape the bay the bounds
9:45
of linear time yeah, so he's neither
9:47
old nor young yeah ever pray Just
9:49
is has and always will be I
9:51
was I was I was thinking of
9:53
her Sheldon Which
9:56
I think he is like a tab like
9:58
a stone tablet that
10:00
has some of Sheldon's personality traits
10:02
written down. I know we've done
10:04
this before, but I don't think
10:07
I've ever pitched this. Young Sheldon
10:09
versus the UnSheldon. Ooh,
10:11
that's cool too, Trapp! Yeah. If
10:14
the UnSheldon comes in contact with
10:16
a Sheldon, it undoes them. Right?
10:19
It's like antimatter, the
10:21
UnSheldon. Every
10:23
Sheldon exists in defiance of the UnSheldon's
10:25
will. You know that as much fun
10:28
as we have with this bit, I
10:31
guarantee you some permutation
10:33
of this conversation like, okay guys,
10:35
Young Sheldon is ending. There
10:38
has to be some other fucking Sheldon we
10:40
could go around here. Yeah, they've been hanging
10:42
that carrot, dangling that carrot over our snouts
10:44
for some time now, huh? Yeah,
10:46
Young Sheldon's got to end soon. You guys got any jokes?
10:48
Just kidding. One more season. Thanks
10:50
for the free advertising. Idiots. I
10:53
can guarantee you the last
10:55
episode will end with a shot of
10:57
him opening a
10:59
button down and inside of it
11:01
is his Flash logo t-shirt. His
11:03
Fluffy T-shirt. And finally,
11:06
the transformation is complete. There is
11:08
no gap. I'm afraid to
11:10
make this prediction because I've learned I'm too
11:12
powerful. I'll cover that in
11:14
a second. But it's going to be given to
11:16
him as a gift from Leonard. Leonard will
11:18
give him the Flash t-shirt. Okay. Yeah.
11:22
I was enjoying Brothers
11:25
Gate, episode one, available on the YouTube Macro Family
11:27
channel now because I like the content that we
11:29
make. I think it's good and transgressive and the
11:31
world's last is trying to sell it. This is
11:33
kind of three different intros. Yeah. Yeah.
11:37
It's cool to kick that. And then the suggested videos
11:39
was a super cut of every time we've talked about
11:41
Frasier on this show and it was about 53 minutes
11:43
long. No
11:45
way. So almost an entire episode's worth of
11:47
our 711 episodes. Hey
11:50
Trav, next week I think we
11:52
should absolutely... Just hear that. Just
11:55
to air our Frasier discussion. Oh my gosh. Best
11:57
of Frasier discussions. But in it we were
11:59
talking about... Rebooting Fraser and this
12:01
is like four or five years
12:03
ago. Yeah, and I talked about
12:05
in this one now Fraser
12:08
Crane has to go live with his son and
12:10
he's Down
12:17
One last thing not to talk about Fraser more but
12:19
I'm gonna fourth intro I can't remember 3b
12:23
I feel like but this year's
12:25
sketch fest I Did
12:28
a show with an actor who
12:30
had been on the Frasier reboot and she
12:33
talked about That the crew
12:35
that the crew just was like, oh
12:37
man Kelsey Grammer just knows Fraser
12:39
inside and out and not just
12:42
like the character but like the
12:44
universe of Frasier and Apparently the
12:47
props department the sad department cost of it
12:49
writers. They'll run things by Kelsey Grammer and
12:51
he'll just be like that's Frasier That's
12:54
cool. He's like the Frasier ombudsman. Yeah,
12:56
he's like that's not Frasier I like
12:58
that those those wine glasses. Yeah, I
13:00
don't know if you've ever seen clips
13:03
of Mr. Grammer outside
13:05
of his Seattle
13:08
studio Part one of
13:11
him falling off the stage. This is very good.
13:13
Yeah, if you can find any clips of his
13:15
short-run Stand-up career
13:18
or any video of this man existing
13:20
outside of the context of Frasier I
13:22
believe you will come to discover that
13:24
he's just kind of Fraser Mm-hmm. I
13:26
think the reason that Kelsey Grammer kicks
13:29
so much ass at Frasier is Kind
13:32
of phrase like he is kind of free Fraser and
13:34
I might even see it. He's in like a
13:36
deep deep Who's
13:39
that actor who always goes ham on
13:41
that shit Daniel day lewis Daniel day
13:43
lewis shit. I'm saying that like he
13:45
found that actor Who's
13:47
that actor? Yeah, who always
13:50
goes ham on that
13:52
shit for a thousand points? Who's that? That
13:54
is got it always goes ham on that
13:56
shit and Travis is like, oh, yeah Daniel
13:58
day lewis Hey,
14:00
Justin, fifth intro. Fifth intro. One time, Griffin
14:02
and I played, I think it's Skattagirl, whichever
14:04
one where you pass the thing back and
14:07
forth and you have to name the thing.
14:09
Griffin and I are terrifyingly good at it.
14:11
It's really, really quite weird to behold. Anyway,
14:14
he's just kind of Fraser IRL
14:16
is all that I'm saying. So
14:18
that's Fraser. That's Fraser to me.
14:21
And now, and that's another, chuck this six
14:23
minutes on the fucking pile of Fraser. Well,
14:25
we got to get to a full hour
14:27
for monetization. Young
14:30
Fraser is another one they canceled. Woke left. I
14:32
think, I don't know if it's still running. God
14:34
dang it. They got us again. They got him.
14:39
Let's get into it. Let's help people. 15
14:42
minutes. Jesus Christ. Let's do our frigging jobs
14:44
for once. Let's go. I worked, Griffin,
14:47
what do you mean 15 minutes? Sometimes
14:49
Griffin doesn't like the amount of content
14:51
we make within the chat. No, it
14:53
surprises me. It surprises me sometimes how
14:55
long we can run, how
14:58
long a train we can run on Fraser. Sheldon
15:00
and... And Seinfeld.
15:03
And Seinfeld. I
15:05
guess they do provide. I work
15:07
in a shared office in a library. Good
15:10
job. My supervisor gets fresh eggs delivered
15:12
here weekly from a local farm. Yesterday,
15:15
the eggs appeared on her desk as
15:17
usual, but she is out on maternity
15:19
leave. Should I leave them on the
15:21
desk for her return? Should
15:23
I throw them out? Should
15:25
I send them back to the local farm? I
15:28
don't want them to rot, and I wouldn't want them to
15:31
go to waste. I don't know where she lives, so
15:33
I can't take them to her either. What exactly
15:37
should I do? I
15:40
don't like the
15:43
fact that eggs are in a library. Huh.
15:47
Hmm. That doesn't make... Speak on that. It's
15:49
just not where they kind of
15:52
go. Eggs is a farm thing
15:55
or a restaurant thing, but I
15:57
don't go to the library. Yeah,
16:00
but the library has books
16:03
and magazines. Well, they're not take okay. You
16:05
don't check the eggs out Griffin They're not
16:07
no. I know I know that but like
16:09
the idea that the eggs are there is
16:11
like it's weird I've never been in a
16:13
library and thought oh I
16:16
wonder if there's eggs in here. Yeah I
16:20
would just assume no because like it's not a farm
16:22
or a restaurant So like what
16:24
would the eggs be doing there? I was about
16:26
I felt so strongly when the
16:28
question asked her said like leave him on the
16:30
desk and then I thought I Actually,
16:34
I'm not a hundred percent sure eggs
16:36
need to be refrigerated. I Think
16:39
there's some I mean like all things
16:42
They will eventually return to the loam
16:44
Yeah, but but I do think that
16:46
they can sit out on a counter for a
16:48
let's let's not advise people on food
16:51
handling as funny and as safe as
16:53
that is Maybe we shouldn't
16:55
be making those calls on we're all googling
16:57
it. We might as well just look no
17:00
I think I don't I don't actually care
17:02
what you do with your eggs Don't
17:05
take though. Don't throw them out though.
17:07
That's seen washed eggs the last two
17:10
on the counter Now the
17:12
if this is a weekly delivery You
17:16
do need to solve this quick If
17:19
the egg person comes back and the eggs
17:21
are not there they will call the police
17:23
Yeah, because they will assume you have been
17:25
kidnapped because why didn't you get your eggs,
17:28
huh? Yeah, you need to get the eggs
17:30
out of there quickly. I would not leave
17:32
the eggs lying around Okay, but counterpoint you
17:34
do need either to alert The
17:38
person who should be getting the eggs before
17:40
you take them or definitely after you take
17:42
them Because I don't know how long in
17:45
America my turn to leave not long enough Am
17:47
I right? Yeah, if they come
17:49
back and they're like there's gonna be like there
17:51
should be like nine weeks of eggs here or
17:53
whatever I I think that it
17:56
is a little Question
17:59
asker I want I'm going to talk through the
18:01
options real quick. Should I leave them on our desks for
18:03
a return? Should I throw them out? Should I send them
18:05
back to the local farm? I don't want them
18:07
to go to waste. I don't know
18:09
who lives. There's one missing there, and it
18:12
is ask a
18:14
person about the eggs.
18:17
Maternity leave is not the Phantom
18:19
Zone. You can indeed reach out
18:21
to them who are on parental
18:23
leave. I will say this, it
18:25
depends on how far out from
18:27
the date of
18:29
delivery we are at.
18:31
Not egg delivery, but human beings delivery. It's eight
18:34
hours after your child is born, so it's like,
18:36
what do you mean, do these fucking eggs? Yeah,
18:38
that's no good. That's no good. Yeah,
18:41
just take them, make a little scramby. They're
18:43
eggs, they come, they're not missing them. They
18:45
don't give a shit about these eggs. They
18:47
made a person. Go have a scramby. Then
18:49
again, farm fresh, hand-delivered eggs. They're
18:51
paying a premium. They care a lot
18:53
about the eggs. I guarantee you this,
18:56
they've thought about the eggs. They've thought about the eggs.
18:59
Then? They've thought about the
19:01
eggs. Since the child has been born,
19:03
they've thought like, oh my eggs. Now
19:05
maybe not, here's the thing though. The other side
19:07
of it, oh, these sides of it. I'm sitting there, right?
19:09
I've just given birth to a beautiful child. And
19:11
then I think about the eggs. Maybe in the same breath,
19:13
I don't know. Oh, now that that's off
19:15
my mind, I can think about my eggs. What
19:18
is the process I would, do I
19:20
call a library supervisor?
19:23
To be like, hey, sorry, my eggs
19:25
are still being delivered to the library.
19:28
Can you do something with those things? It sounds
19:30
wrong, doesn't it? When you say that. It
19:33
is also, okay, now there is
19:35
also another possibility
19:37
here is you're gonna have to go to your
19:39
supervisor's supervisor to get this phone number if you
19:42
don't already have it. So you're gonna have to
19:44
go to your boss's boss and you're gonna say,
19:46
hey, I need Joan's phone number. And they're gonna
19:48
say, why? And you're gonna say, ah, fuck, I
19:50
was afraid you would ask that. I
19:54
have an egg question for Joan. Joan
19:57
just gave birth to a child.
20:00
No eggs are coming in! What
20:03
if you do this and you blow up Joan's whole
20:05
spot? That's what I'm saying. You
20:07
go to your supervisor. Joan
20:10
gets what? Where? Here? This
20:13
is a library! This is not a
20:15
farm. You mean books about eggs, right?
20:18
Surely you mean books about eggs. Do
20:20
you mean bookends? Maybe periodicals? Periodicals
20:22
about eggs? Eggs Weekly or something?
20:25
Oh, she gets delivered Eggs Weekly, the
20:27
magazine. Surely you mean... Absolutely.
20:32
She wouldn't get physical, maybe
20:34
wooden eggs to decorate for children.
20:37
Please tell me that's what you mean, Derek. I don't
20:39
want to have to fly her, Joan. She just had
20:41
a baby. Food eggs, then. So
20:43
is there a place outside she keeps
20:45
them? In the library, inside! Wow! Huh.
20:48
Under lock and key. Just sitting on
20:51
her desk? Just sitting on
20:53
her desk? Oh boy. You've given me a lot to
20:55
think about. Joan, I hope your
20:57
baby's well. Don't bother coming back. I
21:00
found out about the eggs, Joan. I
21:02
know about the eggs. I told her about
21:04
the eggs, Joan. I didn't know. I didn't
21:07
mean to ruin everything. Can I
21:10
take you guys to the wizard's shack? Yeah.
21:12
Take me there, Captain. Alright.
21:14
Hop on. With me and a little papoose?
21:17
Yeah, sure. You
21:19
both are in papooses around me and... Two
21:22
papooses? The papoose eye? Two
21:24
papooses, and I've got
21:26
my rocket. And we blast off to
21:28
the wizard's house. I
21:30
have a pompe le mousse, Papoose.
21:32
I love that. That's so good.
21:35
I love that. How to make
21:37
a staff, making a
21:39
staff for use in the woods or
21:41
for use in magical rituals can be a fun
21:44
project. Or both. Once
21:46
you've found a stick that seems appropriate for your
21:48
purpose, you can learn to carefully prepare it and
21:50
tailor it to whatever you have in mind. Want
21:52
to have a helpful walking stick? Want to larp
21:55
with your friends? Want to perform pagan rituals? We've
21:57
got you covered with the various methods in this
21:59
article. This sucks. You
22:01
know why it sucks? Because when you said how to
22:04
make a staff, I realized
22:06
there was a tiny, tiny little
22:08
voice inside me. It's like hell
22:10
yeah. Let's make a staff. Hey,
22:13
hey, you should – hey, J-Man, you know how
22:15
to do what's up. Why don't you make a
22:17
fucking staff? Hey, Justin, here's what I will propose.
22:20
I believe that within all of us,
22:22
there is an inherent desire
22:25
and understanding. How many times have you
22:27
been, no matter what age,
22:30
if you find yourself outside and you find
22:32
a longish stick and you make, oh, this
22:34
is the perfect mindset, this is perfect staff.
22:38
And I think it's not because there
22:40
is a platonic perfect staff, Justin, but
22:42
because there is a perfect staff for
22:44
each individual person and they know it.
22:46
Oh, okay. But it's also – this
22:48
is what's so great about a staff.
22:51
It really does fill several gaps in
22:53
the human psyche. So like anybody walking
22:55
in the forest sees a big, beautiful
22:57
stick on the ground, they think, I
22:59
would like that staff. Maybe
23:02
it's for hiking support. Maybe it
23:04
is for Bobcat weapons.
23:06
Or maybe – Battling ballrogs. You think you
23:09
are Gandalf the Grey and you want to
23:11
– Or Gandalf-fini. And you just want to
23:13
– Maybe you're
23:15
Gandalf-fini. You know, the butt of the staff to
23:17
your girl and just the face here. Hey, maybe
23:19
you got a little Tom Bombadil action where you're
23:21
just like a wanderer through the forest. You feel
23:23
like this staff will really take time to –
23:26
Well, that's going to be one of the biggest
23:28
types of – you could also be, if you're
23:30
me, and you're 10 years old, Donatello. Donatello,
23:33
yeah. Absolutely. There's so many reasons to pick
23:35
up a big, cool-looking stick in the woods.
23:37
So that – Yeah, I think this is
23:39
a powerful one. I think that's
23:41
actually a Teddy Roosevelt quote if I
23:43
remember correctly. It's a biological impulse is
23:46
what you're saying. You're saying that like
23:48
there's something deep within me that's like,
23:50
ah, yes, the most basic tool for
23:52
the thick-ass staff. I would go deeper
23:54
just then and say not biological, but
23:56
rather metaphysical. I think our ancestors' spirit
23:58
– All forwards house and
24:00
goes look at that fucking cool stick man. You
24:02
could really you could take down a mastodon with
24:05
that Yeah, that's right. You'll need that. Hey, we
24:07
can make a pretty kick-ass mastodon spear out of
24:09
that, huh? Oh grab that now shit I'm
24:11
a suspense man Method
24:13
one making a hiking survival staff. I
24:16
will go through this section as quickly
24:18
as is possible. Yeah Collect
24:21
dead wood of the appropriate height. Yeah,
24:23
no shit Green
24:25
wood is too bendable to be effective as
24:27
a walking or survival stick. So only collect
24:29
dead wood Yeah, for possible staff. They gotta
24:31
stop saying survival stick. I don't know like
24:35
What do you mean like what do they
24:37
what do they mean like by a walking or
24:39
survival stick? Well, you're gonna walk with it Justin
24:42
or you're gonna survive. Yeah, I know Now
24:45
this one's important to do and should
24:47
be doable by basically anyone look for
24:49
hickory or ash now
24:53
Remind me you guys are kind
24:55
of wood wood guys not necessarily
24:57
woods guys But if I'm
24:59
walking around and I'm not a guy made
25:02
of wood important. Yes, I am a Zach
25:04
woods guy though Okay, what a talent I
25:06
if I'm walking around the woods and I'm
25:08
not finding any hickory or ash I should
25:10
stop looking right because that just means those
25:13
trees maybe aren't in this particular forest Yeah,
25:15
yeah, that's the one problem with forest is
25:17
that you do not have infinite trees to
25:19
choose from Yeah, if you for example needed
25:21
to Harvest luscious
25:23
coconut for example, yeah That
25:27
would not be an option of yeah here
25:29
in West Virginia for example Other
25:31
good wood for walking section clean vikin
25:34
not an invasive species have we found
25:36
out palm trees are they invasive? I
25:38
plan a coconut what happened some fucking
25:41
invasive pairs over here. They stink like
25:43
shit. Yeah, they think you hair Yeah,
25:46
I think you invasive stupid. I bet
25:48
there's a way to prepare those Bradford
25:50
pairs dumbass Fucking
25:52
Bradford pairs all right So
25:56
plan a lot of them. Oh, they're beautiful. They stink like
25:58
shit and they're
26:01
covering the whole fucking
26:03
town because he's stupid ass. I bought a
26:05
chainsaw so I could start taking out Bradford
26:08
Pear if I see him. I hope stupid
26:10
deer eat stupid Bradford pears and shit themselves
26:12
to death. Yeah, I said it. I hate
26:14
deer. Deer, I hate them. Whoa, holy shit
26:16
Travis, that's a wild escalation. Deer killed many
26:19
of my trees and I hate them. I
26:21
saw a great TikTok where they're like, here's
26:23
how you properly prune a Bradford pear and
26:25
then they get a chainsaw and they just
26:28
cut it. Fuck, kick ass. Fuck, you gotta
26:30
be thick. They suck. Fuck Bradford
26:32
pears. And deer. Oh, her face. Fucking
26:35
invasive ass. Listen, stinky, beautiful trees. Travis,
26:37
I feel you. They're just giant beautiful
26:39
rats. I hate them. Travis, you keep
26:41
trying to rope Justin into a movement
26:43
that is so- He's not coming with
26:45
me. I know. No, yeah, yeah. And
26:48
also, yeah, sure. Okay, so remove
26:51
bark and notches. Use a sharp pocket knife to
26:53
whittle off the bark taking extra care to smooth
26:55
out any tiny branch notches
26:57
or uneven places. Yeah,
26:59
again, we're all doing this. Is
27:03
this why you guys are knife guys? So if
27:05
you find- Part of it. Yeah, it's
27:07
not loving. I mean, I've used the knife- I
27:10
feel like people might think you're joking. I've seen
27:12
you both whittle. Yeah,
27:14
I'm not joking. I always have a knife. What
27:16
are you talking about? That's one thing that Jerry
27:18
Seinfeld and I have in common. We
27:21
always have a pocket knife. He
27:23
has a really fancy one, but it's, you know. I
27:26
don't know a lot about him though, doesn't I? I bet he doesn't use it.
27:28
In his video, his like 15 essentials
27:31
like Kerry, he took great pleasure in informatics.
27:33
It was discontinued. Damn.
27:35
Just like comedy. Damn. Way to
27:37
flack. Just like comedy has been discontinued by the
27:39
Woke Left. Woke Left took my knife away. The
27:43
Woke Left TSA Took my knife
27:45
away by Jerry Seinfeld. It's just
27:47
the least predictable pivot you could
27:49
have possibly imagined. Fucking The guy
27:51
that played Jay Peterman is on
27:54
Fox News Like, you tell him
27:56
Jerry Seinfeld, you're finally on the
27:58
winning team with me. Jay
28:00
Peter been from Seinfeld and
28:03
Rob Slider. Anyway, This.
28:05
Tasks I don't like this next step.
28:08
I know we are just want to say
28:10
that allowed. Set. For seal with
28:12
stain. Know. If you want
28:14
to give your staff a clean and durable
28:17
finish, stain it with a good would have
28:19
finished or wiping stain. Ah, it's just like
28:21
don't do that. Don't do that because the
28:23
ultimate goal for any walking stick is when
28:26
you reach the end of your life's journey.
28:28
You. Planted into the ground as you
28:30
lay down and you gently die
28:32
next to it and from it
28:34
it springs beautiful tree that won't
28:36
have silver and children's children. Yes,
28:39
And I'm one day your dna will have been
28:41
preserved in the south of that tree and aliens
28:43
will be able to bring you back to life.
28:45
Death and real sit well as you don't. Since.
28:48
It does get it to move it. you're
28:51
right now since it could help protect the
28:53
would. Okay, just them. But here's the thing.
28:55
you're going to be out there in the
28:57
mud. Trump around is gonna war. There's not
28:59
a while since I've only read six. Hate
29:02
being in. Soil. Oh
29:04
no. wait, they become kick ass trees
29:06
when they were. And here's my laziness.
29:08
and when the stakes are on the
29:10
ground, the net stuff for them is
29:12
dark, paranoid. but know me or fucking
29:14
nature's way Just and yeah dollars. That's
29:16

32:22
Toklas said Charlie in the top of factory
32:24
and won't his entire goddamn factories associated with.
32:27
Ah, okay, so making that much about
32:29
making a mess yourselves Regular coffee though.
32:31
It. Sounds
32:34
as I i me my coffee
32:36
to do the talking. And the
32:38
podcast the Kids Only Winning isolate.
32:40
Now who's being a nature hater?
32:42
Travis insisted amp up the bugs.
32:44
Padma tuna tata nothing without. How
32:46
about collect wood after a storm?
32:49
Many wiccans, another neo pagan believe
32:51
that would sell by storm is
32:53
imbued with supernatural powers. Yeah, man.
32:55
litter able to afford an unnatural.
32:57
To get that guy gets Wonder Boy from
32:59
into the subway lighting and make them super
33:01
Get a base lox database leads to guys
33:04
have that is of a falstaff. My
33:07
promise. That's. Pretty cool
33:09
man. So they're like sport wizards is.
33:11
or as a baseball player, as gentle
33:13
wizards are flat. Wizards. Of
33:16
Whack is surviving. There was a
33:18
base was real hard. Yeah
33:21
no no I now but Wizards of
33:23
Whack does sound like of assertive early.
33:26
May. Be late nineties. pornographic website like maybe
33:28
one of the first ones actually out there
33:30
that you get on your a why isn't
33:32
anyone visiting our fights? They don't like baseball
33:34
far. As selected,
33:37
stick with significance. In Magic,
33:39
stats are traditionally symbolic of male energy and are
33:41
often linked to the wind and sun. Why would
33:43
it be associated with mail? And as it than?
33:45
I can't even fathom it. Ah, often they're made
33:48
of hickory or okay. this is boring when you
33:50
find a prospectus. Staff Simplicity. Hold it in your
33:52
hands. How ya to get a feel for it's
33:54
energy? When you hold the right one, you'll know.
33:56
and ideally your staff will be three to five
33:59
feet in length. I'll. Keep that they're
34:01
at the aunt like if I if I find a
34:03
real showed of a staff and like fighting with a
34:05
is there like I see I. I
34:08
said Robert I'd sell States is also
34:10
involved in a think that a person
34:12
waited eighteen and staff the see yeah
34:14
I'm emailing. Was this a seem right?
34:16
Maybe that's what they like, Maybe that's
34:18
been stabbed. They're lucky me that their
34:20
journey that cover for lately an ageing.
34:22
Get the fucking job done. This absolutely
34:24
A can. Listen. A piece of
34:26
my life When you sign with a
34:28
real gnarled, lumpy and on around or
34:30
and you're like on that a bill
34:33
flags my way around and Savard work
34:35
for a right side. Do a governor.
34:39

34:47
a support. Sauce. Or
34:50
wound. Ago was
34:52
read the Guys against Ham On all that
34:54
said, if the guise of Hammond all access.
34:57
Or my here Daniel Day Lewis a new around
34:59
in the woods. The bless away. Fighting.
35:02
I think Leonardo Dicaprio. I don't know.
35:04
I only watched Gangs of New York
35:06
while I was on morphine with. Jimmy
35:08
Says that he said but what movie
35:10
is this for Daniels I'm not even
35:13
saw that movie at of all the
35:15
weird ago and I have I drink
35:17
your milkshake. They'll. Be
35:19
allowed to d. Cards
35:22
mind and I'm going to kill
35:24
a bear. Why? You're lucky. I'm
35:26
looking for Danny. He was the
35:28
boy I want to leave property make a movie
35:30
about the Daniel Day Lewis and not be blaze.
35:32
Daniel Day Lewis argued your bags of ourselves. It's
35:35
like weird answer quantum leap. About
35:38
or. Somebody
35:42
my factory reset swiss.
35:45
Your husband was a small
35:48
all of my back please.
35:51
We. Have to go home. as
35:54
about our that does that are what are
35:56
held by gotta finish this deep fried real
35:58
quick I need
36:01
to choose my time zone. Is
36:06
Daniel ready? I don't know. He's blinking? What color
36:08
is the light? It's
36:13
kind of like a purple, dark purple or light purple.
36:15
It's very important. This is going to sound wild, but
36:17
you're going to hit it with a wrench. It's hard
36:19
to get. Charge.
36:21
Charge or bless the staff. Depending
36:24
on your practice, you may have a particular ceremony
36:26
appropriate for the purpose of charging an object or
36:28
blessing it in preparation for magic. I don't like
36:30
this. I don't have this. I don't have a
36:32
practice. I came here to learn how to make
36:34
a magic staff, and one of the steps you've
36:37
provided is make the magic staff in the way
36:39
you do it. They're basically
36:41
saying do something magic
36:43
to it. You just got
36:45
to get your kyber crystals. No,
36:48
I don't have those. Again, it's like- Do you have
36:50
your kyber crystals, Justin? I
36:53
do just want to say step six, Travis has jumped ahead,
36:55
adorn the top of the staff with a charge stone or
36:57
crystal of significance to you. A kyber crystal
36:59
is the way to go. I
37:01
prefer, if I can get it, a black kyber
37:03
crystal because it's fucking cool as shit. Fuck,
37:06
dude. It is. That even makes sense, man. How do
37:08
you see it? That's
37:10
how they get you, though, invisible lightsaber. Invisible
37:13
lightsaber. They'll light up your cool
37:15
frog posters. I love that
37:17
shit. Do
37:20
you think they ever light joints with lightsabers?
37:22
I bet somebody does, right? Yeah.
37:24
I'm going to just skip the last section
37:26
of this is making a LARP staff. Just
37:28
use your magic staff. No one's going to
37:31
be able to- Well, you got to
37:33
be careful there because if you're LARPing and you
37:35
pretend to cast a spell but you're using your
37:37
real magic staff, it
37:40
could get a little dicey.
37:43
I mean, do you want to
37:45
fucking weave a story
37:47
of magic and fantasy or- That's a
37:49
good point. You know what I mean?
37:51
Lean into it. Do a little bit
37:53
of practical magic. I love that
37:55
movie. If I could make magic
37:57
things, I wouldn't need a staff. You
38:00
don't need a folk guy? What the fuck
38:03
Justin? That is the first thing actually that
38:05
a I didn't realize Justin that you were
38:07
so fucking advanced in your magical training that
38:09
you no longer needed folk guy to help
38:12
train you. No I'm not. Because fucking Harry
38:14
Dressing's out here he's been doing it for
38:16
like 50 years. He still uses his staff.
38:18
He still uses his blasting rod. He still
38:21
uses his shield bracelets. He still uses his
38:23
power rings. Are these real things this guy
38:25
has? Yeah. Justin's an iron man. Yeah
38:28
man he's the iron man of magic. Justin's
38:30
out here talking big shit game. He
38:32
can do magic without folk guy. Go off
38:34
Justin. Tell me King how do you do
38:37
your magic without? Is it when you were
38:39
finishing and sealing your goddamn staff? Your staff?
38:41
I just hoped that they would be more
38:43
practical step by step like
38:46
construction plans in the wiki out.
38:49
Okay. I'd be at a Home Depot by
38:51
a five foot dowel rod of fucking that's
38:53
half inch thick and painted all different whimsical
38:55
colors. Is that what you want Justin? I
38:57
thought it would be more fun to find
38:59
one in the forest and then figure out
39:01
what to do with it to make it
39:03
a staff. I just thought that people would
39:05
tell you fucking read a book dog. The
39:08
magic will tell you juice actually you do
39:10
seem kind of foolish now. If the magic
39:12
would tell me why do I need wiki
39:14
how? Why can't I how is inherently magic?
39:16
Goddammit Justin is this 101? What's up bud?
39:19
Makes perfect sense. I did it.
39:21
It's within how? That's
39:24
what it's short for. We're
39:29
not going to say anything funnier than that. Let's go to the
39:31
buddy's own. Thank you.
39:41
I love bombas sucks. I
39:44
didn't want to marry him. Boom roasted.
39:48
I am weird. It's such a weird weird vibe.
39:50
No I guess I've seen how happy you guys
39:52
are together and I feel like you've just been
39:54
kicking the can down the road. Go for it.
39:56
And I think it's fine. You know what? No,
39:58
you know what? No, I
40:01
won't play this game with you. These
40:03
aren't living things that you can marry
40:05
or fall in love with Travis. They're
40:07
just socks, but they're
40:09
the best socks in the world and you
40:11
need them. I
40:13
don't want people to think by taking a
40:16
silly tone with this that I don't mean
40:18
it from my heart. Rhombus socks. I'm
40:20
sorry. I didn't know you were so... Okay.
40:23
I'm sorry, Griffin. They got honeycomb
40:25
arch support. They got anti blister tabs. They're
40:27
genuinely very comfortable socks. They're comfortable in ways
40:29
that you didn't know you needed your sock
40:31
to be comfortable until you put one of
40:33
these bad boys on. This
40:36
is not bullshit. This is jokes out of the room.
40:38
When I put on a bomber sock, yes. Like
40:40
I'm going through my socks. At this
40:42
point, admittedly, 75% of my socks are
40:44
bomber socks. But that kind, the ankle
40:46
high, honeycomb...
40:49
When I put those on, I'm like, I'm getting shit done
40:51
today. I'm getting shit done. Anyway,
40:55
get comfy this spring and give back with
40:57
Bombus. Oh, I didn't even talk about
40:59
the fact that when you buy their
41:01
socks, tees or underwear. Yeah, they got
41:03
those too. You also donate essential clothing
41:05
to someone facing homelessness. To date, Bombus
41:07
has donated over 100 million
41:09
clothing items and counting. It's
41:12
genuinely the best. Get comfy this spring and
41:14
give back with Bombus. Head over to bombus.com/my
41:16

41:18
off your first purchase. That's

41:23
code MY BROTHER at checkout. You
41:27
guys looking for a doctor? Well, you know what
41:29
I always say. If you need a doc, then
41:31
you got a sock. That's why we're talking about
41:33
sock doc this week. As I get older, I've
41:36
noticed new and interesting ways that my body begins
41:38
to fail me. And with
41:40
that, I must search for new doctors
41:42
to look at those specific areas of
41:44
my body that perhaps I've never even
41:46
considered maintenance on before. You
41:49
know what I mean? You know, you got
41:51
a podiatrist who's just like, yeah, man, you're
41:53
fucked up. It's fucked up. Yeah, but
41:55
how about that? It's all that's what happens, man.
41:59
And when that happens, God bless. I
42:01
think it's harder, we talked about this on
42:04
some episode, I think it's easier to make
42:06
new friends than to find a doctor, right?
42:11
Maybe I said the opposite of the episode. Finding
42:13
a friend who's a doctor? Forget about it. Well, that's probably
42:15
easy for you, Justin, because your wife is a doctor and
42:18
I assume she has friends that are doctors. Wow.
42:21
I guess I'm pretty cool. Okay. But
42:23
you know what else is pretty cool?
42:25
zocdoc.com. That's right. Because they can help
42:27
you find a doctor in your area
42:30
and book those appointments, doctors that will
42:32
make you feel comfortable, listen to you,
42:34
prioritize your help, and it's a free
42:36
app. ZocDoc is a free
42:38
app and website where you can search
42:40

42:49
huge, and you
42:51
can usually see your book doctor between
42:53
just 24 to 72
42:55
hours, which is incredible. Sometimes you can even get
42:57
same day appointments. You got to
42:59
check that out, right? Yes? Okay.
43:03
Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

43:21
wish I could go back to like medieval
43:23
times and say to like a person, like
43:25
the prince or
43:28
whatever, zocdoc.com, and then they would be
43:30
like, you are a sorcerer. This sorcerer
43:33
has come from distant lands. No,
43:35
that can't be a sorcerer. He sealed his staff. Yeah.
43:38
He's clearly a saint. He's a tiny, fucking jabrani.

Yeah, okay. Cool. That's
47:53
he's he or Ringo is here Ringo and
47:55
Ringo got him both man I bet they
47:57
have a lot of fun together with that
48:00
hate each other but these are
48:02
bad over here. Ringo Starr
48:04
is always trying to step on them little
48:06
wrangleies. I get them back here but they
48:08
have some mushy. It's terrible. It's how much
48:11
it blew as it kills the vibe. But
48:13
then there's about 700 other people and me.
48:17
Wow. Hold on. That's a lot of people to
48:19
live. It feels like that man. You get to
48:21
300 and you're like
48:24
wow there's so many people and then
48:26
a lot more than that show up
48:28
and they're but they're so nice. Well,
48:31
yeah, it's hard to tell
48:33
them like go somewhere else because they're

like they always say stuff like oh
48:37
Richard you
48:39
know everything or like Richard
48:42
you are sort of a kind
48:45
of a Jesus for us. Now
48:47
hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
48:49
That sounds like you're describing is
48:52
what I would call a cult.
48:55
Okay. So people you could be using this word
48:57
and I did not know. But
48:59
let's talk about because I don't feel
49:02
that way. It's just friends.
49:04
Yeah. That's the case and it's it's
49:07
it may have been proper. We're doing
49:09
some stuff we sense that the government
49:11
doesn't like love. You know they're
49:13
not like wild about some of the things we're
49:15
doing. So we like to kind of not
49:18
tell them about it
49:20
and rain and rain goes comfortable with
49:22
this. Rango is the
49:24
guy who made the spy all the
49:27
guns to play. Okay. Hold on. Hold
49:29
on. Hold on. Wait. Wait. Wait. You
49:31
know now that that's too I begged
49:33
him to stop. Yeah. The rain. I
49:36
said rain. It's too dangerous. Yeah. But
49:38
in but yes it I am. Uh
49:42
it is called the symposium on cosmic
49:44
harmony and it's like my kind of
49:47
friends. We kind of I thought it
49:49
was love based alpha. I'm sorry. Really.
49:51
That building where we live. The
49:54
symposium on cosmic harmony is sort of
49:56
like our friend group. You know what
49:58
I mean. It's a group chat
50:00
name. It's a group chat is like the symposium
50:04
on causing harmony. Yeah. So
50:06
you would say like, come hang out with the symposium
50:08
on cause of harmony. You don't call the wild hogs?
50:11
Yeah. The 10-Ollie movie? Call
50:13
themselves a wild hogs? Yeah. We
50:16
are like, it's like that except we
50:19
call ourselves the symposium on cause of harmony.
50:21
Yeah. I really want to
50:23
hear about Spring Sense before I do justice
50:25
check. Yeah, you can get you guys down
50:28
here. Perfect. I want to hear
50:30
about Woke Left and how
50:32
it's affecting comedy these days, Richard. Right.
50:35
It's so cool that you say that.
50:37
We are all woke here. It's
50:42
all about cosmic wakefulness, cosmic harmony,
50:45
cosmic unity. And that
50:47
means Woke Left, you are
50:49
welcome. Hardcore, right?
50:52
Like so bad. Like you're getting grossed
50:54
out because of how far? Come
50:56
on in. I'm going to say
50:59
whatever nasty things is open here.
51:01
It's about sense. The thing is
51:03
the sense has to
51:06
be this is sense harmony, but
51:08
everything else is a really bad word. It's
51:11
not the part of harmony. It's not a priority.
51:14
Okay. How is that going, Richard? It
51:16
smells good. Okay. No,
51:18
but how does it look and sound and
51:21
feel like how did it act like it
51:23
either? I have been locked inside here with
51:25
square legs. We barred the door. It's terrible
51:27
out there, guys. I need you to come
51:30
get me. This is why I call you.
51:32
Please. Listen. Okay.
51:35
Okay. Fine. Wrangle
51:37
took over. Wrangle said. Yeah.
51:40
Wrangle said, Richard, I have all
51:42
the guns. I'm a taking
51:44
over and me and spirit like here, we
51:46
boarded up the doors. You guys got to
51:48
come here. We're in the freezer. We
51:51
brought up a fight through wrango and his
51:53
goons to get that sounds tough, dude. I
51:55
shouldn't have let him get so powerful. Guys,
51:58
you should have seen it coming. In a
52:01
sense, some of
52:03
this isn't my fault. A little bit,
52:05
Richard. In a way, I feel like
52:08
I just wanted to make a sick community
52:10
where everybody could feel good and smell better.
52:12
You know what I mean? I have good
52:14
news for you, Richard. And now everybody... What?
52:17
Big one. Yeah. The good
52:19
news, Ringo is
52:21
a government agent. He's got a plan.
52:23
I'm gonna pull some strings. I'm gonna
52:25
get you a- You're coming home, pal. We're gonna need
52:27
something from you, though. We're gonna need something from you.
52:30
This makes sense, because I wondered
52:32
why the Beatle sounded like he's
52:34
from Indiana. Yeah, that's right. I
52:36
was tricked. He's six foot three.
52:39
Right? And I guess- He sounds
52:41
Venezuelan. It's so confusing why he's a
52:43
Ringo to me. Yeah, but it's enough
52:45
going on that you couldn't pin it
52:48
down, right? That was our plan. And
52:51
as a representative of the government, I do
52:53
need something from you before this kind of
52:55
a, you know, a little tip for Pat.
52:58
Oh, a flip. I've been trying to flip since I
53:00
opened it. Like, the first day I opened it, I'm
53:02
like, you better come stop me. No, I do. I
53:04
want you to flip on Ringo real hard. We've been
53:06
trying to get him for a while now. Yeah. But
53:09
I also do need to know the spring sense to
53:11
look out for him. We are all kind of looking
53:13
for something. Oh, baby,
53:15
when spring rolls in, and I kept waiting for
53:17
you guys to point out it's two months late
53:19
from the beginning of spring, but nobody really got
53:21
onto it. Who
53:23
knows? But like, vetiver,
53:25
you know, huge. Always.
53:27
I love anything
53:31
green is huge. But like, we're
53:34
kind of beyond artificial
53:36
sense here. So
53:39
it's kind of more about like the sense that
53:41
aren't there. Does that make sense? That part sounds
53:44
good. Are you sure you want us to come
53:46
get you? Because it does sound like you have
53:48
a bit of a good thing going. Well, listen,
53:51
again, if it
53:53
weren't for the fires, you would smell all
53:55
of it like so good. But the fires,
53:58
they're burning everything. Please
54:00
you have to come! I'm
54:03
so scared! Please, Skrillex and I are
54:05
out of cliff bars. And
54:07
listen, Skrillex squares. I
54:09
think they're elevation bars cause they're just all this.
54:12
Skrillex swears that he is out
54:14
of PB, which is my favorite
54:16
cliff bar. And he
54:18
says that we only have Almond the
54:21
white charlotte left. And I know
54:23
he's fucking lying to me. Yeah, I know he
54:25
has the PB and he just won't share. So
54:27
I need you guys to come, beat up
54:30
Skrillex for me and then get me out. We
54:33
can do that. How's your walk? Cause
54:35
I noticed your cross necklace. I feel
54:38
like you're usually rocking a cross and I'm not seeing
54:40
it there. That's, yeah,
54:42
I got confusing. For
54:47
me to be like, the big guy has the answers
54:49
and then everybody looks like, we know. And
54:52
then they look at me like, yeah? And I'm
54:54
like, um, yeah, for sure. I'm the best one
54:56
there is. Way better than Jesus. And
54:58
I have to go back later and be like, Jesus,
55:00
you know, I'm giving you. Like, you know, it's you
55:02
and me forever. Yeah. Cause I love him so much.
55:05
He saved my soul. I got to help forever. Not
55:07
like these people. They believe in
55:09
a false idol of me. You. And they go
55:11
in the dirt. I tried to tell them different.
55:13
They don't listen to me anymore. Did you, Richard, did
55:16
you, how hard? Do
55:19
they listen to people whose statues they turned down?
55:21
No, you don't want to listen to somebody whose
55:23
statue you tore down. I see them turn down
55:25
my statue. It's not
55:28
a big deal. Oh, I'd be upset. It
55:31
wasn't even a thing because the scent harmony
55:33
was on point. I don't care what people
55:35
are doing with their words or
55:38
actions at all. As long as they smell
55:40
so. So
55:42
are there like brands or sense
55:44
you'd recommend or Paco Rabanne classic?
55:46
Yeah. And also Paco Rabanne is
55:49
a classic. And another huge one
55:51
is coming to pick up your
55:53
boy Richard from this situation as
55:55

55:58
