Justin: "I work at the most monotonous job ever, and your podcast brightens my Mondays. I was wondering if you could recommend any other podcasts or activities to make my workdays more exciting? Thanks."
Griffin: Are we gonna— are we gonna recommend any competitors? [scoffs] Get real, Formspring!
Justin: Yeah right. Nice try. Sorry, former—
Travis: Like, who does this—
Griffin: Does McDonalds— Does McDonalds talk about how tasty Whoppers are? Never.
Travis: [quietly] They probably do! You never know.
Justin: Probably. Probably in secret, at meetings.
Griffin: "Our burgers are wack! [laughing] Do you know who has those dope burgers? Don't tell anybody: BK!"
Justin: [laughs]"BK!"
Griffin: "BK and DQ!"
Justin: "Me and all my billion buddies, we always like to go to just hit the BK at the late night! You gotta get that BK!"
Griffin: "Our chicken select strips are bullshit!"
Justin: [laughs] "You get that strip at BK, they got that shit in the shape of a crown!" Uh, so first off, maybe get some McDonald's and Burger King. That's fun food, fun to eat, and, uh, that can really help to make the days pass.
Griffin: [laughing] …just eating fast food?
Justin: [laughing] Just eating fast food! Just kill the lonely times (kill the sad times), with the taste of salt and fat. Oh boy. Oh, now you see, now I'm hungry. Oops! You did it again, McDonald's advertisers!
Griffin: I think, uh, whatever recommendations we can give you depend entirely on whatever your job is, because if you're a surgeon, you need to fuckin' look sharp! You need to put down the iPod!
Justin: Was that a— Was that a pun?
Griffin: Oh… I didn't mean it to be, but I'm— I'll take it. Um, you need— You need to not be distracted when you're cutting into humans. Um, if you (I don't know) scan medical documents into a computer for eight hours a day, then you're going to need, uh— You're gonna need some help. Some assistance.
Justin: Yep. Um, I—
Travis: Um, my suggestion? A clipboard. I know it seems— but it'll let you get away with literally anything. You can put sudoko[sic] on there, you can put some crossword on there, or just carry it around so no one will [Unintelligible] to you.
Griffin: How did you… How did you just pronounce "sudoku"?
Travis: [laughs] …I think I said "sudoko"!
Justin: [laughs] "Sudoko"! No, Griffin, you're confused — sudoko's that new joint. It's where—
Griffin: Hey, have you guys played Sedaka? [laughs]
Justin: [laughs] Have you played Neil Sedaka?
Travis: [laughs] I was actually thinking of the gas station, Sunoco.
Justin: "Did you get— Did you get that new John Secada record? Wow! [laughs] And the game included inside the CD notes? Really fun. I— We play it all day." "Sudoko" is that new sudoku where it makes a picture at the end.
Griffin: Mm-hmm. [laughs]
Travis: [laughs] And then the cards bounce around the screen. It's really awesome.
Justin: An erotic picture. Like, a sexy picture.
Travis: [laughs] Sudokoooooo!
Justin: "It kind of looks like a boob made in a box!" Uh—
Griffin: We have given this person zero advice!
Justin: Okay, we gotta get seri— I think the best thing to do is to just— You've got to shut your brain off, and let it take you to another, far away place. If you can't do something obvious like read, or— or ride a moped when nobody's there, you gotta take your mind and let it take you on a journey.
Griffin: Mm-hmm.
Justin: No one is your boss in your head, at all.
Travis: And another fun game is to play little games with yourself, like "how many times can I slip this word into a conversation before someone notices?", and "how often can I mispronounce words like 'sudoko' until someone notices?"
Justin: [laughs] See how long it takes you— Walk around all day— Next Monday, and walk around saying, "sou-döm-kyum," and wait 'till someone— Wait 'till someone corrects you.
Griffin: Now— Now, Travis, I have to ask: do you play that game when you're doing a podcast with us? Because you— You did just say "sudoko" in a— a— a strange manner.
Travis: [close to the microphone, level voice] Of course not, Griffin.
Griffin: …I'm gonna be on the lookout now. Um, let's do a Yahoo Answer!
Justin: Yeah, that would be great!
Griffin: This one is sent in by Art Santana.
Justin: [laughs] That's not his real name, but wow it's a good name!
Griffin: Yeah.
Travis: God, that's awesome.
Griffin: Have you guys noticed how many people with, like, totally fresh names listen to our podcast?
Travis: Yes!
Justin: Yeah… It's, uh— Like Max Jackman?
Griffin: Like Max Jackman.
Travis: Oh, God…
Griffin: Uh, it's really flattering. Uh, anyway—
Justin: Anna Philaxis?
Griffin: Um, this Yahoo Answer is from Thomas Slicher.
Justin: What?!
Griffin: Almost certain I said that wrong.
Travis: Not a good name. Not a good name.
Griffin: Yeah, that's a bad name, but he doesn't listen to the show, so we're fine. He asks:
