Outline[]
1:10 - Intro - The semipermeable borders of Trav Nation, Farewell to a clapper, The audience surrogate
The brothers at Wonka, stoned out of their gourds and joyously partaking of some Magic Hats.
6:17 - A Wonka Field Report - Recorded by the brothers at the movie theater at 11:39pm (likely on December 22, 2023) after seeing a late showing of Wonka. Justin liked it. Travis was more bewildered than anything. Griffin "did not like it very much. I did not think it was very good."[Note 1]
13:40 - Email - What feels like most days while I'm at work, I can hear little kids playing not too far from my window. I'm surprised these children are cursing like sailors at seemingly all business hours of the day, seeming to scream curses just for the joy of it. I think it's kind of funny, and I'm a guy who enjoys cursing on occasion, but it's beginning to get embarrassing to explain to clients and coworkers that the loud expletives they can hear are coming from these seemingly stray adolescents and not from my own household. How do I dissuade these kiddos from belting the loudest swears ever outside my window? I'm a tall middle-aged man, so there's a lot of trepidation around the process of approaching stray children. -- Fear of Foul-Mouthed Fledglings in Flint.
The Strongest Beatle - MBMBaM Video Clips
21:20 - Wizard of the Cloud - How to Show Off Your Muscles Without It Seeming Intentional -- Diana. Astute listeners may realize that this WikiHow was previously used in Episode 660, but what Episode 660 didn't have was discussion and impressions of the strongest Beatle, and also Justin being crushed to death by his own podcasting hubris.
37:15 - The Money Zone - Rocket Money can help you save money after your brother dies, Find a cool doctor that loves to vape on Zoc Doc, ad for Oh No Ross and Carrie!, ad for Depresh Mode
44:00 - Munch Squad - Justin has more of an amuse-bouche of news to amuse us today. First, the appetizers:
- Chex Mix introduces Cheesy Pizza Remix, which is fun to say
- Burger King announces you can now order Have-sies to get half onion rings and half fries, instead of that just naturally happening every time you order either of them
- Dunkin welcomes back the Pink Velvet Macchiato after 1,037 days
- Papa John's introduces Cheesy Calzone Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza
And finally the sad, pathetic main course: Dunkin introduces new Salted Caramel Creamer
56:45 - Housekeeping
59:08 - The Part Where They End the Show - It's not apparent at first to the brothers if they still do a Sound Bath or if the show now ends with a silent wish to Fungalore. It's also not apparent later on, because they gleefully distract themselves with the possibilities of soundboard voice modulation and crack up over it, then ride that wave of laughter right out the door with neither a Sound Bath nor a wish to Fungalore.
Quotes[]
On Trav Nation[]
Travis: We can't leave TravNation. We closed our borders! Griffin: Also, that's all our listenership is now, Juice. You can feel grumpy about that if you must, but... Travis: We welcome in new people, it's important to note. We have a semipermeable border around TravNation: We welcome in new, don't let out old. Justin: It is a prison colony. Travis: It's not a prison colony, Justin, it's a haven. It's safe in here. Justin: Long enough have your politicos tried to convince the people of TravNation that they are citizens when they are in fact... PRISONERS! Travis: I don't wanna hear this anti-TravNation propaganda, sir! It's safe in here, it's better!
On Santa's Downtime[]
Justin: Santa doesn't have a job! Travis: What's he do the rest of the year?! Justin: Meditates!
