Outline[]
1:09 - Intro - Travlomatic immunity, I would be Ke$ha's dad, eat the Ke$ha bread
15:09 - Email - I'm a regular at my local movie theater. Additionally, I'm huge into hot dogs.[Note 1] If I go somewhere - a theme park, train station, gift shop - and they sell hot dogs, I will get one without question. Recently I've been tempted to get more than one hot dog from the theater, but I don't always want both at once. Would it be acceptable to buy a hot dog on the way out? As I stated earlier, I'm a regular at this point, and I know of my penchant for franks. Last week, as embarrassing as it is to admit, I walked into a theater to see Saw X, and the employee waved, saying 'Hey, another hot dog, boss?' Is it weird to buy a hot dog on the way out of the movie theater? -- Rocky, aka the Hot Dog Boss
Griffin is of the opinion that a hot dog transforms theater junk food into a meal. Justin thinks the question asker is not long for this world given their hot dog habit. Travis favors pizza to sustain his flesh for movie watching.
You opened your mouth, and a Travis joke came out. From -MBMBaM 684- Beta Bat Bet
Justin demonstrates his version of Travis-level funny.
21:55 - Wizard of the Cloud - How to Avoid Getting Too Scared When Playing a Scary Computer Game -- Tory
During this segment, Travis mentions Griffin's Polygon overview of Spooky's House of Jump Scares, much to Griffin's chagrin (he did not enjoy playing this one).
34:50 - MZ - Justin forgets to use Stamps.com,[Note 2] Griffin needs to update his wardrobe with Stitchfix, Feeling Seen ad, Troubled Waters ad
Count donut eats 100 bats

40:48 - Munch Squad - Count Donut[Note 3] makes an appearance, and reminds us all that bats are gluten-free.
- "Justin wanted me to tell you" that Jimmy Johns has starter jackets now, Count Donut says. He does not elaborate.
- The main event is Krispy Kreme having Scooby Doo donuts. The two remaining brothers and the increasingly less spooky vampire Count Donut discuss Zoinks, Jinkies, Fuck, and other curses. The donuts are also just regular donuts with pictures of Scooby Doo on them.
Eat the mystery machine. Eat it. Stick it in your face.
54:01 - Email - I have long desired the ability to say "I'm going out for a smoke," and be able to take a break from whatever social activity I'm engaged with just to chill outside for a bit. When you say "I need to step out for some fresh air" it leads to people asking if you're okay or if something's wrong. How do I communicate to my peers that I just want to stand outside for five minutes without people thinking there's something wrong? -- Smokeless in Surrey. P.S. - I'm considering learning how to yo-yo, so I have something to do outside and possibly impress any passersby.
Griffin's proposal: There needs to be a new activity that is forbidden indoors, not particularly harmful to the bod, and isn't vaping. Proposals include:
- vaping, suggested by Travis and Justin before Griffin finishes, hence the rider at the end
- yelling (Travis)
- using a sundial (Griffin)
- just going home (Justin)
- devil sticks (Griffin, who blatantly ignores that this is juggling)
- birdwatching (Travis)
- saying you need to fart (Justin)
- saying you're solar powered (Travis)
- saying you have to make a call (Justin)
- becoming a daytrader (Travis)
- pretend to catch a bug (Griffin)
This leads to Travis and Justin coming to the conclusion that Griffin is a bug-eating Renfield, which Griffin loudly disputes.
1:00:33 - Housekeeping
1:02:32 - Sound Bath - Justin starts out intoning "watch out, here comes Griffin." Griffin enters with "Mmm, I want to kiss Dracula," which makes Justin lose it
Quotes[]
On Eating Pretzel Bites and Raisinets for Dinner[]
- “I think I discovered a new meal. It's not breakfast, it certainly wasn't dinner, couldn't have been lunch, wasn't brunch, it was a meal though, but a special, secret meal. ... It was a hearty snack for boys, after dusk.”
- — Griffin
On Polygon[]
- “I assumed that site closed in 2018 when I left.”
- — Justin
On Ghosts[]
- “I'm not scared of a ghost. What is that? Slime? I don't care.”
- — Justin
Notes[]
- ↑ Here, Justin stopped reading the question to enforce a mutual promise from him and Travis to not talk about Bob Mortimer or Joey Chestnut. They then proceeded to talk about Off Menu with Bob Mortimer both during and after the question.
- ↑ Travis does about 2/3 of the ads completely alone while his brothers use the restroom.
- ↑ The title goof comes from this section.
