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 it.

0:11

Also this show isn't for kids which

0:14

I mentioned only so the babies out there will

0:16

know how cool they are for listening. What's

0:19

up you cool baby? Hello

1:00

everybody and welcome

1:03

to my brother

1:05

my brother and

1:07

me an advice

1:09

show for

1:14

the modern era I'm your oldest brother

1:16

Justin McElroy. I'm your middlest brother Travis

1:19

McElroy what up Trav Nation woof woof.

1:21

I thought for a second

1:25

I thought I'm Griffin McElroy I thought

1:27

for a second Travis you had without

1:29

a word left Trav Nation back

1:31

in 2023. Part of me

1:33

thought that Trav Nation is gonna wake up Jan 1 2024 and

1:35

be like where did

1:38

Travis go? A part of me considered

1:40

it. I heard. In that brief moment

1:42

where I was like is where do

1:44

I stand am I an expat now? Is it time

1:47

have I been cooed?

1:50

Have I been cooed out of Trav

1:52

Nation? But no no coo took place

1:54

I'm still in power. Okay

1:57

going straight. Great. We are so thrilled

1:59

to be here. with you on this

2:01

episode of

2:03

the naming of

2:05

the year where we take a

2:08

step forward and look back,

2:10

look back, step forward, don't

2:12

trip, we take sides, we

2:14

choose a side, we look

2:18

within, we slide to the

2:20

left, Griffin you're the baby

2:22

of the family, would you like to

2:25

do the honors of reading all of our

2:27

previous years? Because this is really, what

2:30

a victory lap this always feels like. It's

2:33

very rare that some, that three people

2:35

will work for an hour to come up with

2:37

one thing. So it makes sense

2:39

that if we spend an hour coming up

2:41

with one joke, it's always going to be

2:43

a good day for sure. And then when

2:45

you compound them together, to me it's the

2:47

experience I imagine Bill Waterston must feel when

2:50

he cracks open his omnibus. Can I

2:52

also just say Justin, the equation

2:55

of three people work together for an

2:57

hour to come up with one thing,

3:00

I'm not sure which factor in that

3:02

equation is the impressive part, that

3:04

there's only three of us that took us an hour

3:06

to come up with one joke. It's

3:09

all extremely impressive, Trav. Let's get, let's do it.

3:12

It starts off, guys, here's the problem, I don't know

3:14

that we've beaten 2011. 2010

3:17

was Zolo, that doesn't count, this wasn't even a

3:19

thing back then, this wasn't even a joke back

3:21

then. That was like someone else, we

3:23

didn't even come up with that. No. But

3:26

it gave us the idea. Yeah. So

3:28

Zolo is- If you ship a thesis this thing out,

3:31

anything before 2016 wasn't even us

3:33

making it because all of the

3:35

cells, we have sloughed off all

3:38

of the Justin's- No, I actually

3:40

stopped doing that. Oh.

3:43

Yeah. Okay. I

3:45

no longer- You got the surgery. Replace myself. Travid.

3:48

If you hate perfection, the line

3:50

stops. I think if-

3:52

Good luck it is. If I had defeated

3:54

atrophy, I believe I would have my own

3:56

nation also. I think that's- Yeah. I think

3:58

that's worth it. could do it. Anyone

4:00

could do it if you follow my 10-step course for

4:02

$9.99. That's $999. It's

4:06

important to know. But then one day you'll get dandruff

4:08

and you'll be like, Oh God, it's me. Me

4:10

is going away. Zolo.

4:12

Zolo 2010. 2011, 2000 in heaven, get right with Christ. Yeah. Yeah.

4:15

We have a, I

4:20

would say there's a few different categories of

4:23

year names. And one of those categories is

4:25

a command.

4:28

Um, and this is

4:31

one of the wilder ones we did because we were trying to get

4:33

some souls saved. Um,

4:35

because we hadn't really doing our just

4:37

get a few jewels in our crowns.

4:39

Yeah. Blame us for that. 20 does

4:41

bricks. I think that's the thing. Going

4:43

to wall of fire. Yes. 20 does

4:45

getting it. Now, does anyone

4:48

remember why we were

4:50

getting it in 20 does. Oh,

4:53

we were doing it. Getting

4:55

it in 20 does. Well, not even

4:57

a, we actually went backwards with

4:59

that one. Way back. Yeah. Yeah. From getting

5:01

right back. There's no, we're not doing a

5:03

pun. No, there's no rhyme. There's no real

5:05

like getting it. I

5:07

mean, I mean, I need something a

5:10

little bit more inspiring that I'm going to see

5:12

on like the side of a paper

5:14

towel roll. Yeah. It

5:16

feels like we need to do a

5:18

screenshot notes app apology for that one.

5:20

Yeah. And we were young. We didn't

5:22

know any better. We were different

5:25

people then. We were different people then. The

5:28

next three tell a story. 2013, 20

5:31

dirt. Dig it up. Get it out. That's pretty

5:33

good. That's all right. Then

5:36

2014, 20 forward. So

5:39

that's like we fucked up 2013. Let's

5:41

just pretend it didn't happen. We

5:44

in fact should not have dug it up. We should not have dug

5:46

it up. We should not have gotten it out. 2015, 2015. The con

5:48

is on. So we've kind of. 2015

5:51

is the best. No, I'm sorry. No, 2017 is the best. Okay.

5:56

2015 is where we hit our

5:58

stride. We didn't understand

6:00

the memo. We didn't get it. It took us five

6:02

years to understand our own bit. Yeah, this is what

6:05

I'm saying 2016

6:07

probably our biggest boner 2016

6:10

building bridges Not

6:13

a great year for that not every bridge

6:15

gets finished not every bridge goes to somewhere,

6:17

you know Sometimes it's the bridge to tear

6:19

this yeah. Yeah, it kills the kid if

6:21

I remember What's

6:24

like sergeant Powell a kill for kids?

6:27

You're not taking an elevator to hell, you know,

6:29

no Yeah, I have to get that you need a

6:31

bridge to get there 20 serpentine in 2017 keep them guessing

6:33

or Bag

6:37

on them that was

6:39

a good theme. That was very useful.

6:41

That was fun I feel I feel

6:43

like that is not something I get

6:45

permission to do enough as a 36

6:48

year old father of two is to

6:50

really introduce a lot of Unpredictable unpredictability

6:52

into my whole vibe started. Uh, we

6:54

kept trying to surprise each other that

6:56

year Like that was the I just

6:58

I just randomly started Taekwondo just to

7:00

keep them guessing. Oh, yeah, that's cool

7:04

2018 collaborate teen stronger together Noble

7:06

thought for sure probably the one

7:08

we've done did the least of We

7:11

did lots of collaboration. The three of us collaborate

7:13

all the time driven. What are you talking about?

7:15

That's true 2019 Frankenstein

7:17

team become the monster. This is the

7:19

other bucket of that

7:22

your titles go into which is like

7:24

a Branding a

7:26

vibe a vibe. Yeah a Sort

7:30

of not a command but just to sort

7:32

of like let this it's an energy. It's

7:34

an energy center Yeah, we're setting the tone

7:37

and and I would say given the third

7:39

bucket is absolute boner misses So what's 2020

7:42

again? Go for 2020 was 20

7:45

funny fill your life with laughter and love

7:47

if memory serves in the Midnight hour of

7:50

that year it was yeah

7:53

We decided that that year

7:55

had large analogy as we do

7:57

this and a lot of people may have forgotten but

8:00

2020 there was the novel current virus.

8:02

Yeah, it's bad stuff. It came in

8:04

and just does a real fart on

8:06

everybody now Did we change the theme

8:09

but we didn't make it more like

8:11

virus centric It was like a like

8:13

a renaming like in honor

8:15

of yeah, it was I would say in

8:17

many ways in spite of in spite Of

8:19

your obviously was it 20 I

8:22

believe it was 20, honey Down

8:24

to be reason. Yeah, here's the thing

8:26

though It's not called

8:28

kovat 20. It's kovat 19. So did

8:31

bite did we encourage becoming the monster?

8:34

Okay. No with I I also will

8:37

say that I think eventually the 2020

8:40

morphs into honey funny fill

8:42

your life with laughter and bees. Yeah, I

8:44

think it was was how it settled out

8:48

21 22 23 all fucking great 20 big dog

8:50

run no bones about it. Yeah. Yeah rules 22

8:52

22 20 started, you

8:55

know what after that we started setting the bar

8:57

lower for ourselves. Yeah, like it was more achievable

8:59

Let's just like have a kind of mind here's

9:01

here's what's happened for the last three years 2022

9:05

20 rendezvous fancy takes flight tremendous and

9:07

of course 2023 in this 20 Sun

9:09

and sea surf the vibe we've leaned

9:11

into less of less a command less

9:13

an energy even and more of a

9:16

aesthetic more of a problem theme really

9:18

kind of a problem started when people

9:20

with 20 I think that was because

9:23

with Fancy

9:26

takes flight people were like dressing

9:28

up for those shows. Yeah, it was really fun. So

9:30

it was definitely in our head Yes, when we said

9:32

surf the vine. Well, we have to

9:34

serve The year first though

9:36

the year we're talking about in our head though

9:39

I don't think we can be more in our

9:41

head than we've been since 2020

9:44

where there was a command of like fill

9:46

your life with laughter and love and we

9:48

thought we blowed it so hard That

9:51

called shot. Yeah, I think we softened a

9:53

little bit right be like now it's just

9:55

a vibe. I am I I I

10:00

My brain was, I don't know

10:02

about you guys. Well, I don't

10:04

know about you Griffin, but my

10:06

brain was electrified with the possibilities of

10:08

full. Oh, for sure. We've never had a

10:10

sound like that. Yeah. It

10:12

was, I was once again reminded of what a

10:14

bad rhyming word 20 is. It

10:17

sucks. It's kinda in its own. 30's

10:19

gonna be fucking tight. I hope we

10:21

get to 30 so bad, cause there's

10:23

so flirty, dirty, squirty. There's

10:26

like so much fucking cool stuff we can do

10:28

with that. Just before we move on from it

10:30

though, 2023, I look back, a

10:32

pretty fun vibe, I think.

10:34

I like the B2 vibe. Yeah,

10:37

a great vibe that made it

10:39

fun for live shows. Yeah. Great

10:41

for streaming just like,

10:43

you know, background. Didn't

10:45

penetrate the broader social

10:49

consciousness, I would say, in a

10:52

way that was impactful. It did also

10:54

make it that Jimmy Buffett saw that

10:56

his work had been completed here on

10:58

earth, like he saw that

11:00

he had his disciples. He passed the mantle.

11:02

He passed the mantle on, and I'm glad we

11:04

were there for that year. Uh,

11:07

did put, I have to say, all due

11:11

respect, my friend Jimmy did kinda put a

11:13

little bummer on the year, on our surf and

11:15

sea year. Yes, I love that. I would

11:17

say yes. A little asterisk. A

11:19

little asterisk. But

11:22

2024 is a different kettle of fish. 2024,

11:27

I was so electrified. I

11:31

actually brought together my counsel, my

11:34

best minds, my best,

11:37

the best punsters, the best rhymers

11:39

that I know. I had a

11:42

teleconference with Lynn and

11:44

Sydney, where I just got

11:47

my two big guns in here to

11:49

help me pull out some. That's like your

11:51

Toby and your Leo. Yeah. It

11:53

is, hey, you know what? They would both absolutely

11:55

adore that reference. I know for 100% fact,

11:58

so thank you Travis. I won't

12:00

say which one's which though. I wouldn't do this. They

12:02

have. I will. I will just say just to get

12:04

things because I feel like we

12:07

just got to do it. Okay. We have to band it off a

12:09

little bit. But you, Griff, do you

12:11

have other stuff you want to. No, I'm just saying

12:13

I'm excited too because I also prepped quite a bit

12:15

for this one. I didn't. Yeah. What

12:17

a weird turnabout. Yeah. No.

12:21

You should. You should have. I don't know what to say.

12:23

You should have done that. In the

12:25

past though, I've brought like a whole list

12:28

and you guys have shit on it so

12:30

hard. And then eventually my one of mine

12:32

becomes the year. And this year I was

12:35

like, it's time to leave room for these

12:37

two boys to play. Yeah. Crap. I don't

12:39

know why Reddit always says you try too

12:41

hard because this is clearly an example of

12:44

you not trying at all. I'm saying the

12:46

three of us are chefs leaning over a

12:48

big pot of gumbo. Yeah. And even if

12:50

your andouille sausage never

12:53

becomes the star of the gumbo, it is

12:55

an important ingredient and it lends flavor. Travis

12:58

is currently, you can't see this listed, but

13:00

Travis is currently riffling through papers as though

13:02

he maybe has a list. Hold on. Hold

13:04

on. You're making me cry. I'm just kidding.

13:07

Somewhere on his back. Hold on. All

13:11

right. Okay. I will

13:13

tell you guys the name and this is,

13:18

there was one name that Lynn

13:20

and Sydney in a vacuum came

13:22

to together. Oh wow. And

13:25

I thought that that had a lot of power,

13:27

but the one that the two of them came

13:29

at together seems unapproachable and

13:32

it's 20 Demi Moore, Ghost

13:34

of a Chance. Why

13:38

does that seem unapproachable, Juice? Well,

13:41

it's just like 20 Demi Moore

13:44

for all her qualities, good and bad.

13:46

I don't like get an energy. Yeah.

13:48

I don't know how to embody Demi

13:51

Moore. I don't feel different

13:53

after I think about Demi Moore. Yeah. You know

13:55

what I mean? Like, except for a very limited

13:57

period in when I was in middle school. school

14:00

and Striptis came out and I did feel differently

14:02

after I thought about Demi Moore. My day to

14:04

day life, I don't know that I feel

14:06

like... You don't think that influence of Striptis

14:08

carried on in your day to day interview?

14:10

No, in the symbolic power of Demi Moore.

14:13

I think Demi Moore, for all

14:15

her qualities, good and bad, has

14:18

limited totemic power. Yeah. I

14:21

think, Justin, many

14:23

times we take big swings at our

14:25

assessments of celebrities, but I think saying

14:28

that Demi Moore does not exist with

14:30

powerful totemic energy is

14:32

a perfectly reasonable statement. You

14:34

know what? I think it's wild we

14:36

don't know what she's all about. I think

14:38

it's wild that we're not getting out there and figuring

14:40

out... I feel like she kind of closed us off

14:42

at a certain point. Yeah, hey, dude. She

14:45

didn't want to know what we thought. I think

14:47

it's probably when she started dating Ashton Kutcher that

14:49

she was like, you know what? From

14:51

here on in, it's a closed book. You guys

14:53

don't know. We need to start

14:56

a document, Justin,

14:59

of these shared things. Ah,

15:01

okay. Well, you know what? I just decided the person who's

15:03

going to be in charge of doing that is the person

15:06

that doesn't have a different list to look at. That's

15:08

traffic. You, my friend. That's you.

15:11

I have a beautiful mind, so my list exists in the

15:13

ether of my brain space. Oh, that's... You're

15:16

still going to type. You're still going

15:18

to type. Okay. I'm just not very

15:20

good at typing. Okay, I'll type.

15:23

Thank you. How old are we? How

15:26

old are we? I'm just saying that

15:28

at this point, we all have very specific roles within

15:30

the family, and mine isn't typing. Yeah.

15:33

Travis has beef with Mavis Beacon, and

15:35

he always has. The MB

15:38

in MBMBAM is not Mavis Beacon,

15:40

my brother. I'm

15:43

the one she gave up on. I'm

15:46

the one to the Mavis Beacon broke

15:48

character, turned to the camera, and said,

15:50

get out. That's why... Don't play Sims

15:52

Hotel on the computer in the computer

15:54

lab. In every edition of Mavis Beacon,

15:56

teachers typing after 1999 when they ask

15:58

you to type in your name. If you type in

16:01

Travis, her face changes. And

16:03

she looks at the screen and she's like, Travis

16:05

who, what's your last name? Just

16:09

to confirm, because there's one unredeemable

16:11

typist out there, she knows.

16:14

Did I ever tell you guys in

16:16

college, I used to call home and

16:18

dictate papers to mom and she would

16:20

type them out and email them to

16:22

me? That's fucking bananas. Yeah, she was

16:25

such a fast. She was a fast, fastest,

16:27

fastest, hyper in West Virginia, according to the,

16:29

when she took that test. Yeah. For like,

16:32

there was an agency that like, she was

16:34

wild. She used to do the,

16:36

kids, this is funny, but it's

16:38

interesting. She used to have this thing called a

16:40

dictaphone and it was like a pedal operated tape

16:42

player, where she would like rewind

16:44

and fast forward with her feet. That shit was so cool.

16:46

So she could do the dictation, it was wild. It was

16:49

amazing. Okay. 20 Demi Moore.

16:51

As long as we're doing celebs, may

16:53

I just toss out there and

16:56

I hate that this is the. Are you guys seeing this document now? I

16:59

don't see you in the document. I've shared you

17:01

on it. So if you could, and I'm

17:04

sorry guys at my age, maybe this is even

17:06

more important than the passing of the year. It's

17:08

the passing of the pica. I got to bump

17:10

this phone up just to

17:12

get anything going here. Okay. Okay.

17:16

Let me hit you with this. As long as we're

17:18

talking celebs, I want to

17:20

talk. You always are. I want to throw some

17:22

chum out in the water here. And

17:25

this one being on social, it means

17:27

that like my not

17:29

being on social, she means that like my

17:31

ability to kind of just know where everyone

17:34

stands at all

17:36

times has diminished. But so this may be

17:38

a risk, but I'm going to say 20

17:40

Polly Shore, bring him home. Sorry.

17:46

What's the bringing him home? What

17:49

exactly does that entail? I guess is

17:51

my question. Cause it invokes a Les

17:53

Mis vibe of we are worried

17:56

about our adopted

17:59

son. Where is he? 20 Poly

18:03

Shore. Where is he? Bring him home. He's

18:05

on Instagram I think. Guys listen.

18:08

This dude used to make fucking

18:10

four movies a year and they

18:12

all slapped. Where is he? Bring

18:15

him home. 20 Poly Shore. Bring

18:17

him home. Well there's a lot

18:19

about Brendan Fraser currently. And

18:22

frankly, Sean Anson, right?

18:25

Two thirds of… I'd love

18:27

to get Poly Shore back out there.

18:29

Unless he sucks. Unless he sucks. I

18:31

don't know. I don't know. But maybe

18:33

if he sucks if we brought him

18:35

home we could fix him. Fix

18:38

the DeLizan. What about 20 Poly Shore? Fix

18:40

the DeLizan. Griffin, do

18:42

you know how it

18:44

chills me to the bone that

18:46

you're opening Salvo Rhymes 20 with

18:49

Poly? Do you know what that

18:51

does to me? I

18:53

told you it wasn't a good one. Hey, it

18:55

ends in E. It's a slant rhyme. I

18:59

am married to a poet, sir.

19:01

Thank you so much. I

19:03

do have one. You

19:05

have one. Well earlier you had zeros.

19:09

If you say 20 Poly Shore, Travis,

19:11

that's my one. I just did it.

19:15

And it is 21 Last Score getting the

19:17

gang back together. Now

19:21

here's the thing. I'm

19:23

not as sold on the tagline

19:26

because 21 Last Score and

19:28

then we retire – this year we retire

19:30

would be a powerful statement. And

19:33

not one that I actually want to sort of throw

19:35

my hat at the people. I also had a few

19:37

ideas that involved one something for rhyme. The problem is

19:39

you can't replace a number with a number I don't

19:41

think. I

19:48

don't think it can go from 20-24 to 21 Last Score. Where's that one

19:50

comment from all eight? Griffin,

19:54

we can do anything we want to. This is

19:56

the world of pure imagination. Okay, sure, Travis. Let's

19:58

call it 20 Fart But Ass. Not

20:00

anything we want to. Not

20:02

anything we want to, Griffin.

20:04

Okay. Do you have another one, Juice? The

20:07

energy. The energy. We talked more about 20 Paulie Shore

20:09

than 21 Last Score. Guys,

20:12

can we not get in each other's

20:14

asses fucking from jump straight? We've

20:17

just done. This is what happens every

20:19

year. I throw one up that's absolute

20:21

gold and you got shit on it

20:23

at first and then an hour passes

20:25

and eventually your wheel breaks and you're

20:27

like, actually 21 Last Score is really

20:29

good. I've proven true by history.

20:31

Yeah. Well, let's start getting to see some

20:33

more names because I've got tons. Great. Yeah,

20:36

me too. This is why. But I don't

20:38

want to share them because I've been so

20:40

thoroughly harangued. We're going to. For my first

20:42

one. All right. My team. These are all

20:44

from my team and me. 20 Petty

20:47

4. I don't know what that is. They're

20:50

like little cakes. Like

20:53

little cakes. Now, once again, hey, Justin, may

20:55

I ask and I say this with no

20:57

judgment as someone who's brought lists

21:00

in the past. How many? You don't

21:02

know who came up with any of these

21:04

names. I know. I know. I know. I

21:06

know. Yeah. How many of these are just

21:08

like good rhymes? The end. I

21:11

mean, my team is very

21:14

rhymes. I will give you that. They

21:17

are very rhymes. Focused individuals. That's good. Maybe

21:19

I should get a team like that because

21:21

my shit. I just throw Polly in there

21:23

sometimes to get like fucking wild. Now,

21:26

this is a good one. 20 Center Court. 20

21:29

Center Core? Center Court? 20

21:31

Center Court. Game set match. 20

21:34

Center Court game set match. That is not 20

21:36

24th. Okay.

21:38

Time out. Time

21:42

out. Time out. Time out. We are coming.

21:45

We can't. The acoustics inside of our

21:47

butts is not good enough to do

21:49

a podcast with. We are human centipedes

21:52

each other for no reason whatsoever. There's

21:54

no reason. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

21:57

You know it doesn't rhyme with 13. So

22:01

we can be – this can

22:03

be whatever it needs to be, but we need

22:05

to be able to all feel safe to bounce

22:08

off the walls and have a little bit of

22:10

fucking fun in here. It's not a – no,

22:12

don't get me wrong. I didn't like the suggestion

22:14

either, Travis. I thought it was not good. No,

22:17

no, no. I'm saying your suggestion was bad, Justin.

22:19

I am agreeing with Travis about

22:21

that. But just – I wasn't kind. I wasn't

22:23

kind. You weren't kind. Vibe with it. You know

22:25

what I mean? Yeah. It's just 20 runnysaur.

22:28

Did that look that? Okay.

22:32

You've just put up quite a few in a row, Juice,

22:34

that I think even you know are not going to be

22:36

that. Has everything shifted

22:38

one brother to the left?

22:40

It doesn't have a – yeah. Not

22:42

bringing a bunch of suggestions seems like

22:44

a real Griffin thing to do. So

22:46

I can actually see the rotational –

22:48

Yeah. It's very strange. That means –

22:50

wait. If I'm Travis – oh, no,

22:52

sorry. I'm Travis. Travis is Griffin. Travis

22:54

is Griffin. That means Griffin is about

22:56

to be – hold on. Wow

22:58

me, baby. Because that only leaves one brother and

23:00

I am ready for you to shine. If you're

23:03

the Justin, I am thrilled. You know how tired

23:05

I am of being the Justin? I know, dude.

23:08

Yeah. 20 – Hey. Hey. We're talking

23:10

about which one of us just got the

23:12

better end of the deal. If I'm the

23:14

Griffin, this is my fucking year, buddy. Yeah.

23:17

Yeah. Yeah.

23:20

20, 20 score. Take it to the hoop. Wait.

23:22

Hold on. 20 – 20, 20 score.

23:25

Take it to the hoop. 20, 20

23:28

score. Take it to the hoop. I like –

23:31

now this is, again, trending

23:33

away from aesthetic unless

23:36

we don't treat it like a command. You

23:38

can either treat it like a command. Take it to the

23:40

hoop. Finish it. Take it to the hoop.

23:42

Finish it. Score. Finish it. Or

23:45

it could just be a general

23:47

sports aesthetic. It could just be

23:50

like a – kind of like

23:52

how in like 1996, I was

23:54

a big Bulls basketball fan, but just

23:57

sort of the vibe and not so

23:59

much the athleticism. or the names of any

24:01

of the people involved other than Michael Jordan. I

24:03

think there was a Pippen in there. Pippen was

24:05

definitely in there. I remember because

24:08

of the musical. Yes, and

24:10

I believe there was The Nasty Man, but

24:13

I just sort of was all about the vibe. That

24:15

could also be the direction we go

24:17

into. The one problem I'm having there, Griffin, is the

24:19

220s. If we could

24:22

replace the second 20 with something else… Three

24:24

20s. Oh, okay. 20

24:27

20 20. I think about that. 20

24:29

20 score. 20 20 score. 20

24:31

20s. It's all 20s. 20 20. Score.

24:35

Score. Yeah, sure. Because you know what I

24:37

mean? Yeah, yeah. It's great. This

24:39

one just popped in my head. Let me throw this out.

24:42

Okay. 20 ancient

24:44

lore, the prophecy fulfilled. Okay.

24:48

I'm going to be a big

24:50

man here and not talk about ancient,

24:52

not even address ancient. I'm

24:55

less worried about the 20. Yeah, what

24:57

you're worried about seems to be a real

24:59

moving target, pal. I'm just saying 20 rendezvous,

25:01

right? Yeah.

25:05

20 sun and sea. Yeah. We

25:07

weren't worried about that second 20 in there. This

25:09

is not going to be it, but 20 Baltimore,

25:11

wild nights in Charm City. We've

25:14

never done an extremely local one before. Now

25:17

hold on. We've

25:19

never done a local one before where it's

25:21

like, this year it's all about Baltimore. What

25:23

I like about that, I could

25:26

get there in 45 minutes if I needed to. I

25:29

could hop on the train, also be there, no

25:31

problem by the time we finish recording.

25:34

It would be nice to give one town a year

25:36

finally. Yeah. I

25:39

get the feeling just from my gut

25:41

that maybe Baltimore hasn't always had it

25:43

easy. Hmm. It

25:46

was on that one, the wire, wasn't it

25:48

on the wire? It was. Baltimore was featured

25:50

in the wire, right? Baltimore

25:53

had a small speaking role in

25:55

the wire. Not

25:57

like Sex and the City where the city is like

25:59

the- Yes, exactly.

26:02

I mean, damn, y'all, though, I mean, Baltimore's

26:04

got it going on. They got the big

26:07

national aquarium up there. We didn't get that in

26:09

ours. The national— Why isn't the national aquarium

26:11

there? I don't know. What

26:13

about 2024 getting into golf? I

26:17

have 2024 hitting the links. Oh.

26:24

But again, this is again— 2024? A good walk ruined. That's

26:30

just a joke about golf, though, is the problem. Yeah,

26:32

and not even ours. Not even ours. No,

26:35

but this one—hey, this year's for your

26:37

dad. This is what we're telling our

26:39

audience. Wait, does public domain mean

26:42

that we can start claiming Mark Twain quotes

26:44

as our own? I think so. Yeah, that

26:46

dude's been dead for way more than 70

26:48

years. We can totally just crib his whole

26:50

shit. Oh, okay.

26:53

Hey, speaking of quotes, 20

26:55

nevermore beware the raven. I

26:58

mean, again, not practical,

27:01

not especially practical. Oh, not like

27:03

20 Baltimore? 20

27:06

Baltimore is extremely practical. 20 Baltimore

27:08

is extremely practical. You don't get to

27:10

where Baltimore is today without being impractical.

27:12

Hey, you know who else is from

27:14

Baltimore? Fucking

27:16

Edgar Allan Poe, buddy. Okay.

27:18

So I'm just saying, it all ties

27:21

back together. Edgar Allan Poe, famous writer.

27:24

The ravens of death. I don't know—there

27:26

are more ravens than there are Baltimore.

27:28

Holy shit, their football team is the

27:31

Baltimore Ravens. That's wild. I

27:33

never thought about that, though. Shit, that's crazy,

27:35

Trav. That's actually wild. I

27:39

really never thought about it. This is not me being facetious.

27:41

I never thought about the fact that the Baltimore Ravens is

27:44

like a Poe thing. Yeah. That

27:46

shit's cool. Yeah, man. Book.

27:50

Check them out. Book.

27:52

Check them out. Read about guitars. And

27:55

I like your guitars. No, we don't need this. Books.

27:58

Check them out. 20

28:48

28:51

once again now just more and

30:20

more I feel like your Your

30:23

team Your team

30:26

has started to devolve into

30:28

this sounds like something from

30:30

like Rogers and Hammer scene

30:32

Broadway shows and less

30:34

like actionable year themes Best

30:37

sketch writers in history. Who was it?

30:40

Kilburn? So sorry Listen

30:42

to this. Sorry Justin was that a

30:45

was that a studio? Yeah,

30:48

and it can't be too deep because you nerds

30:50

both got it Oh, I I owned studio 60

30:52

on the sunset strip on DVD. I don't know

30:54

what you're talking about Justin Okay,

30:57

guys 20

30:59

cincy store. Hey girlfriend. Sorry. We haven't

31:02

talked to him Looks like

31:04

you're killing it. Are you ready to yolo

31:06

and be your own girl boss? That's

31:10

the whole thing. Yeah I

31:13

like the energy of that. I hate the name of it.

31:15

I love I love the I love the the whole

31:18

Energy around it, but the name of it I don't

31:21

like but that's cool. That's cool. I

31:23

do like that I like that a lot

31:25

Justin that was very revitalizing to me in

31:27

a big way. Yeah Well,

31:30

God, I'm glad I wish it didn't have a

31:32

brand name in it Yeah, so trifical when you

31:34

have a brand in your thing that

31:37

you sell t-shirts of yeah, I mean, it's really

31:39

hard to get it Did you say trip? Yes,

31:41

trifical. I I think I accidentally said

31:43

trifical. Is that like tricky? I like

31:45

it. It's from bluey Come on,

31:48

Louie and I we say it around the

31:50

house. Sometimes it just kind of slipped in

31:52

there apologies to all involved Yesterday, my daughter

31:54

said is it possible the

31:56

blah blah blah and it cracked me up

31:59

so bad And hey, this one,

32:01

hey, Kraft, this one's for you. Anything's

32:03

possible. It was an amazing tagline for your

32:05

products. You're welcome. You guys, are you guys

32:07

been writing these down? Some of them. The

32:09

ones I like. No one's written that. Okay,

32:12

you are really dropping the ball. You're supposed

32:14

to be typing. Wait, how am I dropping

32:16

the ball? Do you know

32:18

how, history will not look kindly on this,

32:20

Travis, 20 Baltimore, 20

32:22

Cincy store. Okay,

32:28

how about this? 20

32:31

Hear Me Roar. Make your power

32:33

known. Oh. Oh. Oh

32:36

my. 20 Hear Me

32:38

Roar. 20

32:41

Hear Me Roar. That's like, that works on

32:43

a lot of levels. Yeah. I gotta say, it's

32:45

like a pretty close rhyme. I

32:47

mean, in the grand scope of... I'll say

32:49

this, Griffin. It sounds a whole lot

32:51

more like 24 than it does not sound like 24. Yeah,

32:57

that's a good point. Like it's got a lot more of

32:59

the parts. Yeah, I agree. 20 Hear Me Roar. Roar. 20

33:02

Hear Me Roar. I don't know about make your power

33:04

known. Yeah, part of a champion? Mmm.

33:06

Mmm. 20

33:09

Hear Me Roar. Unleash the beast. Prove

33:11

them wrong. Unleash the beast. See, I notice

33:13

this hasn't gone on the list yet. I'm gonna add

33:15

it. 20 Hear Me Roar. 20 Hear Me Roar

33:17

is good. 20

33:19

Hear Me, that's my favorite so far. Thank

33:22

you, Travis. Okay. 20 Hunt the

33:24

Boar. 20

33:26

Hunt the Boar, a traitor in our midst.

33:29

Whoa. Holy shit. We've

33:32

never painted with the

33:34

purple color of paranoia in our... I

33:37

gotta say, Griffin, I got pretty pumped about that

33:39

one all the way. About 20 Hunt the Boar?

33:43

Yeah, I got pretty excited about that. Alright.

33:46

Hey, listen. Me too, man. This is

33:48

Chaz. We are just Chaz-ing right now. Speaking

33:52

of Chaz. I knew what the year name

33:54

was, and the tagline just kind of sprang

33:56

out of me and surprised me. Now,

33:59

why is the Boar this... I don't know.

34:01

We will explore that. I promise when we return.

34:03

I think I was channeling like some succession stuff

34:05

in there. Yeah, for sure. 20 to

34:08

the core. Get to the meat. 20

34:10

to the core. 20 to the core. But

34:15

saying that someone is 20 to the core feels

34:17

like you are saying that they – their

34:20

whole attitude is that of a perpetual

34:22

20-year-old, I feel like. Okay.

34:25

20 to the core embodies

34:28

a power. I think it's something about like

34:30

this year. Power – can I

34:32

say something? Because it's come up a couple times now and it's just our

34:34

suggestion so far. I'm not interested in power.

34:36

Yeah. Thank you. I'm not interested in power.

34:39

I'm not interested in strong. I'm not interested

34:41

in like – How

34:44

do you feel about rooting out a traitor? No.

34:46

See, I'm with Griff on this. I

34:48

need love. I need oneness. Yes. I

34:51

need unity. That's what I need.

34:53

A spirit of forgiveness. Yes. Of

34:55

remembering that we are all part of

34:58

one consciousness. This is water. Yeah. 20

35:00

eagles soar. 20

35:02

eagles soar. 20 eagles soar. 20 eagles

35:04

soar. 20 eagles soar. The

35:08

soar is good. I feel like we

35:11

35:13

things soar. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Ravens.

35:16

Ravens do. Ravens

35:19

do soar. 20 dinosaur. Huh.

35:23

Glee historic. Oh,

35:26

I see. What? 20 dinosaur.

35:30

Glee historic. Am I only

35:32

worried with that, Gervins? I feel like this says Glee. What

35:35

is the tagline? It's

35:37

like prehistoric but – But

35:41

with Glee. Yeah, yeah. I got it.

35:43

I was really trying to ration that

35:45

into a constellation. Okay. You

35:49

get it now, right? Now

35:52

that you have some time to think about it, you understand it now,

35:54

right? 20 dinosaur. Which

35:56

one's your favorite? I'm

36:00

very good. There is no good tagline for 20

36:02

dinosaur. I sat here thinking for probably a half

36:04

hour this morning trying to get one. I

36:07

thought about 20 dinosaurs shake the earth. Is

36:10

there a different sore like ankylosaur or something like that? Like 20 would

36:12

be like… 20…

36:15

dinosaur. That's

36:19

one big pile of shit. 20… 20

36:23

dinosaur. You didn't stop to think about it

36:25

if you should. 20 brontosaur. There's

36:31

not one. 20… 20…

36:33

okay, here's two… three directions we can go.

36:37

20 carnivore gobble up

36:40

the meat. 20 herbivore

36:44

unleash the meat. 20 thanks

36:46

for your meat. 20 omnivore decide on meat.

36:54

It's all fair game. 20 omnivore, it's

36:56

all fair game. I

36:58

don't want to actually like that.

37:00

I don't want it all to be fair game. I

37:03

need boundaries. I need boundaries. Yeah.

37:11

There's a part of you that really like 20 herbivore protect your meat.

37:14

Excuse me. It's

37:24

out of me. I

37:27

don't know when you're hearing this because we forgot

37:29

to do ads while we were naming the year,

37:31

which is not surprising because… We were

37:34

just in a flow state. Yeah,

37:36

we were vibing so hard and making all the

37:38

great jokes that you've heard or haven't heard yet.

37:40

I don't know what to say to people who've

37:42

heard half of what we did in this episode.

37:47

a new year. Yeah, it is, Trav. I

39:32

was about to say the same thing to you. Oh,

39:34

really? Yeah, it is a new year, and that's the

39:37

time for reflection. Is that what you

39:39

were thinking? No, so I think the end of the

39:41

year is the time for reflection. The

39:44

beginning of the new year, time

39:46

for commitments. Make wild,

39:48

wild, unattainable commitments,

39:51

but while you're at it, maybe make one

39:53

completely attainable, normal commitment. People make resolutions, and

39:55

it's like, this year I'm gonna learn how

39:58

to fly. Not like in

40:00

a. plane or anything but you know what I think if

40:02

I flex the right muscles I can hover

40:05

and yeah cool work on that but while you work

40:08

on that maybe also commit to learning a

40:10

new language with Babbel and

40:13

balance those two things out but I

40:15

don't have a lot of time

40:17

Trav. Oh Justin, you beautiful beautiful

gold any day. Okay so Babbel's

40:49

tips and tools are approachable, accessible, rooted

40:51

40:54

from Babbel a couple weeks in but

40:56

I'm getting some of the some of

40:58

the lingo. See I'm fluent in formerly

41:01

rich tycoon now lives in a barrel.

41:04

I'm fluent in that. Well gawrsh

41:07

you guys I just took goofy.

41:10

I just took goofy from Babbel. Yeah they got

41:12

a goofy class? I'm looking here

41:15

and I think they want us to not... They

41:19

want us to make sure that we don't claim

41:21

that they teach classes that they don't. So

41:23

hey y'all don't be dumb. Don't email Babbel and

41:26

be like I want to take the goofy class.

41:28

Don't be narc. Please don't. We'll get in

41:30

trouble. I didn't even see that until... Please

41:32

don't tell them. Yeah but they

41:35

do have a lot of other great languages that

41:37

like real people use and you could really learn.

41:39

jackie cashen and we have a podcast

42:18

called the jackie laurie show on max

42:20

fun and it's very exciting because what

42:22

do we talk about comedy stand-up comedy

42:25

we both do stand-up comedy and have

42:27

since the dawn of well jackie is

42:29

that offensive it is offensive to me

42:32

because you've aged me uh we started

42:34

in the late 80s and we're still

42:36

here you can't kill us so

42:39

go to the jackie and laurie show on max

42:41

43:08

loves the dishwasher wrong. Please help!

Please help me! Where

43:13

are you now ma'am? At the kitchen

43:15

43:17

mispronounces words intentionally. There

43:20

are plenty of podcasts on the hunt for

43:22

justice but only one podcast

43:24

has the courage to take on the

43:26

silly crimes. Judge John Hodgman

Real quick 20 money score time to fix

43:44

pragmatic one. I don't

43:46

I'm not feeling power or pragmatism this year.

43:49

Yeah unfortunately. Oh okay well maybe I

43:52

think it's good to figure out what we're not feeling

43:54

to give us some boundaries as we've discussed because

43:56

I think the more we can rule out. The

44:00

quicker we can get back to twenty hunts aboard.

44:03

I think the faster we rule things out

44:05

No one is writing. Okay, this is heartbreaking.

44:08

Yeah 20 plenty more 20

44:11

pair of them 20

44:13

44:49

44:56

funny war us against the world not

44:58

good. No, no, I know. I know

45:01

it's not good 2020

45:03

kind of say 2020 spore Don't

45:07

wait germinate Not

45:11

wild about that I in

45:13

many ways Griffin I would say before one germinate they

45:15

should wait It's

45:17

not necessarily our reproductive 2020 support

45:19

organisms. What does she not want

45:22

for? Boring

45:25

2020 spores spread your seed But

45:28

it's not a thing. It's not a sexual thing or

45:30

reproductive thing at all. It is about sort

45:33

of taking your essence what

45:35

makes you you and Finding

45:38

the courage to spread that out

45:41

into the world spread your seed

45:43

Hey Griffin, you didn't say any

45:45

sexual words there, but you

45:47

did I don't think anyway. I don't think

45:49

I did I Talk

45:52

about spreading your essence on the

45:54

world. I have and not want

45:57

I have one more good one 20

46:01

connoisseur. See now that's nice.

46:03

Ooh. That's the tagline?

46:05

See now that's nice. Yeah.

46:08

20 connoisseur. See now that's

46:11

nice. Here's your savoring. What are you

46:13

savoring this year? What new passion? Yes,

46:18

but Justin, as evidenced by Griffin attempting

46:20

to type it into the chat, no

46:22

one can spell connoisseur is the problem.

46:24

Like rendezvous? That's still not it, Griffin.

46:27

I've seen Griffin try six times now.

46:30

Seven. Seven attempts. Griffin's got

46:33

it wrong seven. Eight. Eight

46:36

times. Nine. Nine

46:38

different iterations. Ten.

46:42

You sound ten different wrong ways. Now

46:44

he just says 20. I

46:49

hate your guts, it says. That's not

46:51

even close. Now

46:54

what about, now Griffin you just instantly

46:57

deleted. He

47:00

just instantly deleted 20 eat

47:02

my ass Travis. I

47:04

hate your guts. Which I feel like we run through

47:06

that. Alright, you know what? Fuck you guys. Hands on

47:09

the keyboards right now. 3,

47:11

2, 1, go spell connoisseur. Don't- stop laughing

47:13

spell connoisseur. Don't you dare look it up.

47:18

You fucking auto corrected. I watched you write- It auto corrected

47:20

on its own, Griffin. I don't know what to tell you.

47:23

I watched you write connoisseur

47:26

and it changed. And I watched it change.

47:28

How come I don't get Clippy? How come

47:30

Clippy was like fucking dangle bitch? I

47:33

don't understand why Clippy fucked me like that but Clippy was

47:35

like, Oh, Justin and Travis, let me get in there. Let

47:37

me help you. We are gonna

47:39

write- we are gonna write this

47:43

excellent suggestion. Mm, Justin fucked it up.

47:45

Oh, that's not it. Justin goofed it

47:47

up. Look at the red line. That means

47:49

Justin's bad at it. How

47:52

do you feel it? That

47:54

can't be it. No, that can't be it.

47:56

I'm actually gonna- I'm gonna leave it on

47:58

the list but I'm gonna- I believe

48:00

it, like, in red, so you

48:02

know, it's not this one. It's really hard

48:05

to tell. It's got way different letters than

48:07

it than you would think. Yeah.

48:11

Some of the classics, you're hoping it'll be in there. It's

48:13

not theirs. I have a couple more. Okay.

48:18

20 fun galore. 20

48:21

fun galore. The party don't stop. The

48:23

party don't stop. 20 fun

48:25

galore. Fun galore sounds like...

48:28

Yeah, I'm not wrong about that. It's the name of some sort

48:30

of shiitake

48:32

god or something. A shiitake wizard,

48:34

but you have to see Guy

48:36

in the fun galore. That's cool.

48:38

That can be cool. Guys, this is a different direction

48:41

that we could go in entirely. We've done commands.

48:43

We've done energies. We've done

48:45

aesthetics. We could

48:47

do a town with 20 Baltimore. We've never

48:50

done, like, an OC, like an original character.

48:52

This is 20 fun galore. He

48:54

is a mushroom wizard that is here

48:56

to help you get through the year. This

48:58

is fun galore. He's

49:00

pulling for you. He's pulling for you. 20

49:03

fun galore. Spread your seed, because he's a mushroom

49:05

with no... No,

49:07

they use spores. Again, it's a

49:09

different system of reproduction. 20

49:14

fun galore. 20 fun galore. I kind of...

49:16

Can I say... You like fun

49:18

49:21

49:24

listen, this mushroom wizard, he kicks

49:26

ass. I just took my

49:28

socks off. My feet got really sweaty. That's how

49:30

powerful fun galore is. Fun galore,

49:33

that's cool. That's just a guy.

49:35

He's like a magic... Okay. Okay.

49:39

It's definitely a deity. Yeah.

49:43

Useful every day to people. I

49:45

need a deity... If we're gonna get

49:47

a little quickie religion going, I need

49:50

this deity to be offering something to

49:52

people. That's a good

49:54

point. Not a seed. Definitely not a seed.

49:56

No, a support? What... 20

50:02

fungal or he heard your wish 20 fungal

50:04

50:14

little ways like oh yeah I like

50:16

all the existence of any kind of

name or even pronoun in the title

50:20

50:23

like people are gonna yeah I'm like

50:25

50:29

existing person on earth who is

50:32

50:34

50:37

up going with 20 fun galore there's a

50:39

mascot opportunity in there for the year I

50:42

52:00

just to really sort of like

52:02

provide a little bit of table setting

52:04

for this. You type

52:06

in fungalore.com and

52:09

then it shows you like this website is for sale and

52:12

then it shows like a list of suggested

52:14

links that could go on a website called

52:16

fungalore.com. It is not different

52:18

opportunities to have fun. So

52:20

many of which exist that you

52:23

would say you have fun galore.

52:25

The results are nail fungus care,

52:27

cure for meningitis, treatments for meningitis,

52:29

meningitis outbreak, symptoms of meningitis, meningitis

52:31

signs and symptoms, bacterial infection causes.

52:33

Is it possible? We're going to

52:35

fuck up the SEO of something

52:37

that people need to deal

52:40

with their men and

52:42

meningital issues. No,

52:45

I think it provides a moment of

52:47

respite. Okay. Does

52:50

it help that I can get fungalore.fun? No

52:54

fungalore.fun. Fungalore.fun. No,

53:01

I'm just saying fungalore.fun. Is

53:04

fungalore.xxx available? I

53:06

would love to really expensive. I bought

53:08

pollen storm.xxx and it was way too

53:10

expensive for the gag. You

53:12

don't want to do it. It wasn't

53:14

worth it. I

53:17

also just is the last one I had was 20

53:19

candy store. Keep it sweet for 20 candy

53:22

Griffin, that's the point of religion.

53:36

Okay. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. I

53:38

53:40

didn't say religion. I don't know

53:42

about religion. Philosophy. He's

53:45

just 20 fungalore. A guy you pray

53:47

to and you could just

53:49

pray to. Well, no, you wish to Justin.

53:51

You wish to. Yeah. You

53:53

speak to like a friend. He's just

53:56

a friend. He's just a friend.

53:58

When you say 20 fungalore. He's just

54:00

a friend. When the Philadelphia

54:02

Flyers were coming up with a mascot

54:05

and someone was like, what about this big orange monster

54:07

named Gritty? The response in the

54:09

room wasn't like, yeah, let's pray to him. Let's

54:12

all pray to him and worship his name

54:14

and lift it highest and holiest in the

54:16

mountain. And Justin, to that end, when they

54:19

were inventing Christianity, they weren't like, we need

54:21

a great mascot. What about this guy, Jesus?

54:23

Fungalor. Can I tell you

54:25

guys right now, I feel

54:27

a lot like

54:30

our distant relative, Percier

54:33

Thomas McElroy aboard a

54:36

little ship I go on. Yeah,

54:39

Thomas Herbert, same difference. Herbert's a

54:41

nickname for Thomas. He

54:44

was a person, a little ship I like to

54:47

call his head hitting. And I like to imagine

54:49

that for a while they were just watching the

54:51

iceberg like, fuck, somebody needs to turn. I

54:54

feel like we have been watching, we've

54:56

been spending so much time with Fungalor

54:58

that he's starting to get a sort

55:00

of like... He's getting bigger. He's

55:02

getting like... Yeah, we're getting closer. And

55:06

I'm complicit, right? And I think I may

55:08

have even said something like,

55:10

that's it, no more discussion

55:13

over Fungalor. He

55:15

heard your wish. I may have said that several times,

55:17

but I want to try to give a little

55:20

oxygen to some of these others that we

55:22

feel like strongly. I almost

55:24

like he heard your wish better

55:26

than Fungalor. Who just combined 20

55:28

Fungalor a traitor in our house?

55:32

I don't know, what do you mean? It can't

55:34

be that. It was

55:36

either that or 20 Fungalor beware the raven. No,

55:38

I don't. So which one do you like better?

55:41

20 Hunt Fungalor. His

55:43

first machinations must

55:46

be stopped. He's going too powerful. That's

55:49

cool. I also kind

55:51

of like casting Fungalor as

55:54

an enemy that we are all united

55:56

against. 20 Fungalor,

55:59

take up your... take up your blade the

56:01

quest begins 20 fuckalore 20 fuckalore this

56:03

far no farther

56:08

20 fuckalore

56:11

the tide holds here

56:13

20 fuckalore the

56:15

quest begins the tide turns today today

56:17

we declare our end of women's day

56:21

I'm just imagining in

56:29

terms of aesthetics the idea of

56:31

all of us dressed up as fantasy

56:33

heroes god knows we have the costume are

56:35

ready for it and just every live show

56:37

rolling up under a giant sort of like

56:40

a hero quest portrait of fungalore in the

56:42

background and then this is the most important

56:45

part not addressing it even a little bit

56:47

at all I kind of

56:49

I kind of do like that do our people

56:51

gonna not like it though not like

56:54

it and then they get over it

56:56

that's the art of them I almost

56:59

forgot I gotta throw it out just

57:01

for considering no we're not no no

57:03

don't no don't you take that descending

57:05

tone as though before we wrap up

57:08

I just need to say these other

57:10

names we've got to steer away from

57:12

fuckalore 20 honey store down to

57:15

business Travis save us please that's you

57:17

know that's not it we just reached

57:19

a 20 honey store down to business

57:22

it's not honey store Travis you know

57:24

Travis 20 honey store money

57:26

for honey Travis we need you now more

57:29

than ever bud 20 honey

57:33

store here's

57:36

the challenge okay I think it can be

57:38

20 fun galore but and

57:40

then normies will read it as 20

57:43

fun galore and so then

57:45

we have plausible deniability 20 door-to-door

57:48

have you heard the good word is

57:50

there a subtitle that works for both

57:52

fun galore and fun galore oh

57:55

so it can be both so we have

57:57

plausible deniability if we don't end up liking

57:59

that we I've based an entire year around

58:01

this either good or

58:03

extremely weird. 20 fungalore. Spread the word.

58:07

Spreading the word of fun? Yeah. And

58:10

of fungalore? I don't think it works for either of

58:12

them, which is another direction we could go. 20

58:16

fungalore. A totally normal year. All

58:19

right. This helps us sometimes when we get sort of

58:21

in the quagmire here. We take –

58:23

we just sort of mix up the

58:26

subtitles in the title. 20 fungalore. Bring

58:28

him home. 20

58:31

fungalore. Wild nights in Charm City. No.

58:35

20 fungalore. A property fulfilled.

58:38

Can we even – just for my own

58:40

sanity, can we make a little

58:42

separate list at the bottom under 20

58:44

fungalore? Yeah. Of

58:47

ones that are even like – that

58:49

are workable. Yeah, sure. I feel like

58:52

20 fungalore. 20 hunt

58:55

the boar. 20 nevermore.

58:58

Beware the raven. 20 hunt

59:01

the boar I don't love. That's an energy I

59:03

don't want to bring into the year. Griffin, I

59:05

couldn't tell if you were lowering down or the

59:07

camera was rising up. Camera's rising up. Uh-oh. My

59:09

tripod doesn't go up that high. We're going to

59:11

do a little tilt. Okay.

59:14

20. 20. 20. No. We're

59:18

doing just list out. Justin,

59:21

did you nix 20 hunt the boar? Sorry. I

59:23

was distracted by Griffin's camera work. I

59:26

feel like 20 hunt the boar. Hunting, I

59:29

don't love the energy. I don't know. Maybe – I

59:31

don't know what the boar is. It's

59:33

the traitor in our midst. It's the traitor in

59:35

our midst? Why is the boar a traitor? Why

59:38

is the boar a traitor? The boar is

59:40

not an animal that is known for its

59:42

subtlety or its – Yeah, that's how you

59:45

know it's subtle, Griffin. If you knew it

59:47

to be duplicitous, it's not good at duplicity.

59:50

Travis has a really fucking good point, I will say.

59:53

Uh, real quick, just to like – I

59:56

mean, 20 connoisseurs out. 20-20 spore. 20

1:00:03

Any Chor? 20 Hear Me Roar is

1:00:05

still very strong to me. 20 Hear Me Roar. Okay,

1:00:07

I like that. I like that. 20 Hear Me Roar.

1:00:09

You go down to the list. And

1:00:12

how do we feel about 20 Nevermore Beware the Raven?

1:00:15

What percent just

1:00:18

to go around

1:00:21

the triangle here, around the

1:00:23

horn, coast to coast, what

1:00:26

percent of your brain ram currently is

1:00:28

being spent on thinking about fungalore

1:00:30

versus trying to avoid fungalore?

1:00:33

72 percent. 72 percent

1:00:35

for fungalore? Yeah. Okay.

1:00:38

Choose? 80 percent. I can feel

1:00:40

his thrall. I'm at like 86 percent fungalore right

1:00:42

now. I can feel his thrall. This is a

1:00:44

really interesting, this is an interesting exercise,

1:00:47

I will say. Yeah. This part is

1:00:49

not, this part is honest. Yeah, yeah.

1:00:51

I'm not making jokes for this show.

1:00:53

Yeah. There is

1:00:55

a part of me that does

1:00:57

not feel that fungalore will be

1:01:00

the best choice going forward. Yeah.

1:01:02

As a businessman. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

1:01:04

And as someone who employs people

1:01:06

and is responsible for people's well-being.

1:01:09

Yeah. I feel like I get

1:01:11

to maybe June before I'm like,

1:01:13

what the, why is it fungalore?

1:01:17

But that's the thing, dude. If we get

1:01:19

to June, now we hate the dark sorcerer

1:01:21

fungalore, now it's just 20 fungalore,

1:01:23

and we can do like a big top sort of…

1:01:27

But so here's what is interesting to

1:01:29

me. Yeah. And I think this is

1:01:32

what Elizabeth Gilbert describes as big magic.

1:01:34

Yeah. I'm trying

1:01:36

to keep fungalore out of the heart

1:01:38

of my brain that makes up jokes.

1:01:40

Like this part, the prep part, the

1:01:42

good part. Right? And

1:01:45

I feel him trying to get in.

1:01:47

Yeah. My brain, somehow my brain is

1:01:49

zooming in, which is not a thing

1:01:52

I knew a brain could do. Yes.

1:01:54

I feel like he's so close to

1:01:56

like, what I was

1:01:58

trying to do by changing the subject.

1:02:00

There was I feel like sometimes the

1:02:03

light of predetermination could seem very bright

1:02:05

Yeah, and if you like cast any

1:02:07

doubt into it at all it

1:02:09

could start to crumble like For

1:02:12

fungalore to be it has to have always

1:02:14

been fungalore right? There's no so trying to

1:02:16

second-guess 20 fungalore He is

1:02:18

undeniable I Feel

1:02:21

like he heard your wish but like making

1:02:23

I don't want to make Another

1:02:26

fucking thing that people have to

1:02:28

be like oh, it's stupid. It's

1:02:30

this podcast. I listen to No,

1:02:33

dude, it's just a badass looking wizard with

1:02:35

like us with like a mushroom Head

1:02:37

and like some kingdom of mushrooms that can fast you don't

1:02:40

have to explain what that is They were like what's on

1:02:42

your shirt? You'd be like some cool

1:02:44

fucking mushroom. Yeah That's

1:02:46

true. Justin. How often do you think the members of

1:02:48

Grateful Dead had to be like what's a bear? It's

1:02:51

a better thing kind of a cool bear. Well, Trav Probably

1:02:55

not many since they were literally surrounded by

1:02:57

people who followed them around because of how

1:02:59

much they liked them Yeah, they didn't have

1:03:01

to explain anything. I don't know about you.

1:03:04

I'm looking around. I don't see anybody in

1:03:06

this room You don't think people will follow

1:03:08

fungalore around. I don't want

1:03:10

worried. They will we all are you worried that

1:03:12

they'll like fungalore more than us I

1:03:14

don't what that's a real issue that I'm running into

1:03:16

now. I don't you I Don't

1:03:19

want people to like fungalore too much. Oh

1:03:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't want them to like

1:03:25

them too much I don't want

1:03:27

to be responsible for making that feel like Fungalors

1:03:30

power is really in his aesthetics. Yeah,

1:03:32

you know to me. I feel like

1:03:35

fungalore. I feel like is is

1:03:37

an observer. Yeah You

1:03:40

know, he he is not acting on your behalf

1:03:42

But he is not acting against you but he

1:03:44

is watching and hearing all of it. That is

1:03:46

what I like about the tagline He

1:03:49

heard your wish. There's not your wish it

1:03:51

heard your way. You feel like that means

1:03:54

he's now acting on your wish Yeah, that is not

1:03:56

I does not say that

1:03:58

it also doesn't mean he's judging your wish Yeah,

1:04:00

he simply heard it. If it bothers you that

1:04:02

Fungalor knows your wish, don't wish it. He knows

1:04:04

your wish. He heard Chef. 20

1:04:08

Fungalor. Fungalor just

1:04:11

stands on a bluff on an

1:04:13

outcrop overlooking, listening to wishes. Yeah,

1:04:15

he unfolds. Every

1:04:17

second is just, heard Chef. The

1:04:21

gills under his cap unfurl and he just

1:04:23

sort of vibrates up there and he's like,

1:04:25

heard Chef, heard Chef. I

1:04:29

almost don't want to characterize Fungalor

1:04:31

too much. I like leaving him as

1:04:33

like a big empty space with a

1:04:35

very strong aesthetic. But

1:04:38

I don't want to spend the whole

1:04:40

year pretending like Fungalor

1:04:42

is like, I don't want

1:04:44

one of us to walk in one day with a

1:04:46

big wizard hat and a big mushroom hat

1:04:49

and be like, hey guys, it's me, Fungalor. Do you know

1:04:51

what I mean? I don't want to be like that. No,

1:04:53

I feel sacrilegious, Griffin. No,

1:04:55

but even that Travis, I don't want to like, I don't

1:04:59

know how much I want to dip into theism.

1:05:02

I don't want to avoid that at all costs. I

1:05:04

want to look at this man like I'm

1:05:06

seeing him on the street and being

1:05:08

like, that's a cool vibe that Fungalor's got. What's

1:05:10

your name, friend? Fungalor. I like your vibe. Thank

1:05:13

you very much. And he says,

1:05:15

I heard your wish as he walks away and

1:05:17

you're like, what? I mean, everything. You did what?

1:05:19

But I don't want to know everything about Fungalor.

1:05:22

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I want

1:05:24

to share him. You know what I mean?

1:05:26

Like, there's a temptation right now to get

1:05:28

out the pen, isn't there? Isn't there a

1:05:31

temptation to get out the pen and start

1:05:33

inking in these lines? It would be – I

1:05:35

don't feel like we should. It would be so

1:05:37

powerful if for the first time in 14 years

1:05:41

we banned Fungalor. Fungalor.

1:05:44

Not Trough Fungalor. Hey,

1:05:47

it will come after you. No, no, no. We've

1:05:50

never been litigious in 14 years. No,

1:05:52

I want – no, no, no. I

1:05:55

want there to be Art of Fungalor because

1:05:57

that's beautiful. Yes. That's your interpretation. That's –

1:06:00

You're – how you see him, that's cool.

1:06:02

Everybody can like him because he's – it's like

1:06:05

he's just awareness, okay? The

1:06:07

thing about fungalore is he

1:06:10

just hears your wishes, but you can like that

1:06:12

or not like it. It's completely

1:06:14

up to you. I think what we're saying

1:06:17

is we want fungalore art. We don't want

1:06:19

fungalore lore. We don't want

1:06:22

him to be so clearly defined that he can

1:06:24

disappoint us. Thank you.

1:06:27

Yeah. I couldn't –

1:06:29

I can't handle if it

1:06:31

turns out he's got some problematic views. You know

1:06:33

what I mean? He's got nothing. He has nothing

1:06:35

trapped. He can't. He's merely a

1:06:37

receptor. Do you know why? He's a

1:06:39

fucking mushroom. Oh. Like a

1:06:42

lot of people forget that about fungalore. He's a

1:06:44

mushroom. The truth is that they are true about

1:06:46

him that we know for sure. This is true.

1:06:48

You can't make anything up different. He's a mushroom.

1:06:50

He heard your wish. Yeah. Those are the two

1:06:52

things that you know about him. And he

1:06:55

does have powers, though. He does have powers. It's

1:06:57

important that we do say he does have powers.

1:06:59

Okay. I mean – We don't have to get

1:07:01

into it. Undefined. Undefined. Undefined. Like what's in my

1:07:03

mouth or what? It doesn't matter. But he does

1:07:05

have them. I say that you're already – by

1:07:08

saying he heard someone's wish, I think you're already

1:07:10

saying this is a metaphysical being. Yeah. Yeah.

1:07:12

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's clear. He's a

1:07:14

metaphysical mushroom who heard your wish. Yeah.

1:07:17

He heard your wish. That's kind of

1:07:20

catchy. 20 fungalore.

1:07:23

A metaphysical mushroom that heard your wish. Too

1:07:27

concrete. Too concrete. I

1:07:29

don't even like saying is he metaphysical? I don't know. I don't

1:07:32

know. He heard your wish. He heard your wish. Oh,

1:07:35

man. We're going to have to tell McKay.

1:07:38

But McKay's going to have to do something

1:07:40

with this. Like we have to go back.

1:07:42

We employ real adults that we're going to

1:07:44

have to go back to and be like,

1:07:47

hey guys, we've got another real great year. This

1:07:49

is your 20 fungalore. You heard your wish. What

1:07:53

you're talking about is the ego, Travis, and

1:07:55

I'm less concerned about that. Yeah. I'm trying

1:07:58

– I'm at a point now where I'm – I'm

1:08:00

trying to just make space for fungal or you

1:08:02

know like that's a real job. I bought it.

1:08:04

Yeah, I guess I fought it long enough So

1:08:07

it doesn't have to be metaphysical you're right

1:08:10

Griffin. There could be a scientific explanation for

1:08:13

why his various fungal Asp

1:08:17

yeah, I get my here all wishes Like

1:08:20

in the hit Matthew McConaughey film

1:08:23

where he travels through space and mud Mud?

1:08:26

Mud? Like that hit Matthew McConaughey film

1:08:28

mud. Y'all see mud? You're

1:08:31

talking all the metaphysical time travel one. Yeah,

1:08:33

I'm gonna lose a guy in ten hundred

1:08:35

million days Yeah, right. A million billion, a

1:08:37

billion billion days. That's a cool flick fungalore

1:08:43

I mean God, let

1:08:45

1:08:59

perspective is a funny thing. Yeah, can I

1:09:02

say though? Honestly guys it does it is

1:09:04

kind of for me kind

1:09:07

of empowering to Come

1:09:10

up with a year theme that I will

1:09:12

be embarrassed. Yeah. Yeah, sometimes it's a lot

1:09:14

Sometimes it's a lot to always try to

1:09:16

be like the coolest slickest

1:09:18

like yeah, we got it 20 rendezvous

1:09:21

and they're like Now

1:09:23

I can look at my wife be like it's 20

1:09:25

fungalore. He's a guy heard your way I'm

1:09:33

already imagining this episode in 2028 when

1:09:35

we're going through the list when we

1:09:37

have fungalore That's gonna hit so fucking

1:09:39

right every time as it has a

1:09:41

little treat refused with us that I

1:09:43

really enjoy Fungalore he heard

1:09:45

1:10:46

the existence of fun galore should make you

1:10:48

1:10:50

fun galore more fun galore if that makes

1:10:52

more if that makes sense Yeah, he

1:10:55

1:10:58

he is not for you to build on

1:11:00

he's not a cup for you to fill.

1:11:03

There you go That's how beautiful

1:11:05

1:11:07

you can but it's yours. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, it's

1:11:10

a personal relationship with fun galore. Yeah, I don't

1:11:12

care what it is I don't care what your

1:11:14

relationship fun galore is no, but if

1:11:16

I can define my relationship with fun galore after

1:11:18

today I don't even want to talk about fun

1:11:20

galore I probably will

1:11:22

keep talking about fun galore all year. It's all

1:11:24

I can think yeah, but be don't be fucking

1:11:27

weird about a fixation Yeah, here's

1:11:29

what here's what I'm thinking about already guys

1:11:31

I'm kind of flashing forward to it's kind

1:11:33

of become a little thing where the

1:11:35

people on Team big dry head know

1:11:37

when we're recording the year's theme and

1:11:40

it's kind of like a fun little tradition that we

1:11:42

like Tell them and everybody's like reacting to it. Yeah,

1:11:45

this one's not gonna hit with them No, no, no, I'm

1:11:47

gonna say it and they're gonna be we're gonna say it

1:11:49

and they're gonna be like I don't get it I

1:11:51

actually think we should type it into

1:11:54

the slack and then not respond to

1:11:56

any questions that come up afterwards Just

1:11:58

20 fun guys. It's December November

1:12:01

19th, it's a little bit early to punch out

1:12:03

for the year, but I will say dropping 20

1:12:05

Fungalore, He Heard Your Wish, in the company chat,

1:12:07

and then disappearing for the next 12 days,

1:12:10

is a huge power move that no

1:12:12

one's going to forget anytime soon. Can

1:12:14

we just establish the E? The

1:12:17

E is the only thing that keeps tripping me

1:12:19

out a little bit. This is honest to God

1:12:21

juice. The E has to be there so that

1:12:23

we have... The thing about Fungalore that I like

1:12:26

the most is that he has a ripcord on

1:12:28

him that you can pull at any time and

1:12:30

turn him into a serviceable kind of

1:12:32

normal year theme. Can it be

1:12:34

both? No,

1:12:38

it can't. And then if somebody asks you

1:12:40

about it more, you can just be like,

1:12:42

oh, Fungalore. You should get Fungalore

1:12:45

without an e.com just for

1:12:47

the typo redirect. But

1:12:51

I think, Travis, I guess you can be the tiebreaker

1:12:53

on this one, but I feel... Wait, hold on, Justin.

1:12:56

While you're looking, see if goggle.com is

1:12:58

available? Because if nobody's scooped that up

1:13:00

yet, I bet that guy's done a lot. Goggle.com?

1:13:04

No, the E has to be there. Okay,

1:13:06

cool. Because

1:13:09

I can get Fungalore with... I'm

1:13:12

not even sure I can get Fungalore with

1:13:14

no e.com. It doesn't read right. It

1:13:16

reads like Fungalore. Fungalore.art. Yeah, it

1:13:19

needs the E. Yeah,

1:13:21

you're right. Fungalore.wish?

1:13:26

Fungalore.wish? Oh, man, is that available? I

1:13:28

don't know. You're the internet guy. You're kind of

1:13:30

our hacker. I'm the hacker of the group. Yeah, I'm the bad

1:13:32

boy. They don't offer Wish. Bullshit. Do

1:13:35

they offer.penis? I'll... Let's think about

1:13:38

it. Fungalore.fun is available for $5. That's a pretty good

1:13:40

deal. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I mean,

1:13:42

I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I

1:13:44

mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

1:13:46

I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I mean,

1:13:48

I don't know. I

1:13:55

mean, I don't know.

1:14:00

I think we should end the episode. Yeah,

1:14:04

I think you're probably right. Okay. I

1:14:08

do this once a year, and every

1:14:10

year I remember how much I enjoy

1:14:12

standing up while recording this podcast. Um,

1:14:15

yeah, but next episode you'll be seated again,

1:14:18

right? You promise? Am I making you nervous?

1:14:20

It looks like you really have to go use the bathroom. It

1:14:22

does, yeah. It

1:14:25

looks like you're waiting for play rehearsal to be over. Like,

1:14:27

I'm trying to give notes, and you're like, It's

1:14:30

actually making you pixelated for some reason. Your camera

1:14:32

can't. I've got soccer. I've

1:14:34

got to go to soccer. Is there anything else I need to do? Okay. I'd

1:14:38

love to play some soccer right now. Are

1:14:40

we sure? Justin Tyler McElroy,

1:14:42

do not, don't you dare. Don't you

1:14:44

dare. I'm calling it

1:14:46

dead. Justin, let me, I'll give

1:14:49

you this, Justin. I am sure, but even if

1:14:51

I wasn't, I don't think

1:14:53

my brain could generate anything

1:14:55

else. Is

1:14:58

it a dereliction of our duty?

1:15:00

Justin Tyler McElroy. Okay. It's

1:15:04

official. I'm gonna call it. The

1:15:06

theme for this year Is a guy. Is

don't really want to talk about fungalore that much. Or

1:15:48

we just end with like, praise be. No, he's not

1:15:50

a deity. I'm not going

1:15:53

to make any more boundaries around what he is. I

1:15:55
