---

Episode Overview

In keeping with their long-running tradition, the McElroy brothers dedicate the episode to brainstorming and ultimately selecting a new "Name of the Year" for their community to rally around throughout 2026. The process is delightfully chaotic and collaborative, with the brothers revisiting previous years' themes, debating the merits of various new contenders (ranging from the whimsical to the arcane to the outright silly), and ultimately landing on a final selection. The episode is infused with classic McElroy banter, family dynamics, and playful vulnerability.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Reflecting on Past Year Names

• The episode opens with Justin reading out the previous year names, tracing the evolution from "Zolo" (2010) to "20 Thunder Drive" (2025). (01:58–03:32)
• They highlight some infamous hits, near-misses, and retcons.
• Notable quote:
  "2014. 20 forward. Oh. 2020. Grif. Teen. The con is on." – Justin (02:18)
  On their yearly naming process:
  "It's not a trickle down theme." – Justin (05:14)

2. Lessons from 2025 & The New Voting System

• The brothers poke fun at the 2025 theme, admitting it didn't pan out and likening its failings to broader societal ones. They decide the 2026 theme will be chosen via a 'populist, full-blown populist vote' instead of their previous (mock) "Electoral College." (03:37–04:19)

3. Brainstorming 2026 Name Candidates

• The episode's bulk is the brothers proposing, debating, and dismissing over 40 candidate year-names.
• Running gag: Many proposed names follow the “20-XX: [Wacky Rhyme or Phrase]” format, playing with wordplay, pop-cultural references, and puns.
• Some recurring themes:
  • Roadtrips & Americana: “20 get your kicks: Celebrating the beauty of America’s greatest road” (Route 66) (08:25), dismissed for being "too sequely" to prior car-themed years and for the "awful" genre of 50s road trip music (48:11).
  • Ticks & Disease Awareness: “20 check for ticks: No time for Lyme” (09:10), shot down as being too niche for their mostly "indoor kid" audience.
  • Nostalgia/Humor: Dixie Chicks/Chicks related variants, such as “20 Dixie Chicks: Goodbye Earl,” and “20 just the Chicks.” (10:09–10:58)
  • Stunt Performers: “20 stunts and flicks: Hooray for Hollywood,” which evolved discussion about unsung stunt actors and Hollywood tricks (11:16–12:14).
  • Bee/Honey Themes: “20 honey sticks: Back in bee'sness” (12:46ff), reflecting their perennial love for bee puns and snacks.
  • Wizardry & Magic: “20 wizard sticks: Learn the game or die,” “20 bag of tricks: Master your magic,” “20 fiddlesticks: Forgoverness Within.”
  • Failure & Acceptance: “20 under mix: Love it lumpy” and various "fiddlesticks" options, celebrating happy accidents and the value of imperfection (15:02–16:36, 83:43ff).
  • Throwing Spaghetti at the Wall / Persistence: "20 see what sticks: Spaghetti at the wall," "20 make it stick: Throw it again." (30:17–31:00, 88:06+)

4. Debating the Contenders

• The brothers “circle back” several times to certain candidates, especially “honey sticks,” “fiddlesticks,” “see what sticks,” and “make it stick,” weighing their resonance, merchandise potential, and explainer burden.
• The importance of a sublime subtitle is discussed at length, especially for ambiguous names like “fiddlesticks” (82:31ff).

5. Evaluating and Eliminating Names

• Using a process akin to a live “strike-through” and on-the-fly editing, the brothers systematically cull their long list down to a handful of contenders, discussing the emotional and practical baggage of explaining or living each theme for a year (46:44–72:08).

6. The Finalists

• The episode climaxes with a focus on three core themes:
  • Celebrating Imperfection: "20 under mix: Love it Lumpy" and "20 fiddlesticks: Forgoverness Within," both drawing on the joy of happy mistakes and the unpredictability of effort.
  • Persistence & Effort: "20 see what sticks: Spaghetti at the wall," and the ultimately favored, "20 make it stick: throw it again," all about trying repeatedly, throwing ideas out there, and not giving up—even when it's messy or weird.

7. Selecting the Winner

• After a punchy, sweaty, giggle-drenched back-and-forth, the brothers land on:
  • “20 Make It Stick: Throw It Again” with possible modifiers like "A heater for the big boy."
  • This theme celebrates perseverance, creativity, and embracing the cyclical, sometimes fruitless, but always hopeful act of trying again.
  • Notable moment:
    "What I like... is because it's what we're doing right the now." – Griffin (90:18) "You know why I like this so much is because it's what we're doing right the fuck funny." – Justin (90:20)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “[In response to a failed year-name] I feel that the election of Donald J. Trump is not truly a reflection of the American soul, but rather a reflection of the failings of a system that needs to be fixed.” – Justin (03:37)
• “You know, cats crave, like, smooth bird, you know, like stuff that cats are into. Smoothed up bird. Smalls smooths them up for you.” – Griffin, on one ad-read rant (35:00)
• “The big boy is in your heart. And don't disappoint yourself.” – Griffin (94:08)
• “The reason I like throw it again is that it underlines the ‘make it stick’. So make it stick: you’re not exactly what it sure it means. Then you say ‘throw it again’, and then it’s like we’re throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. You’ve closed it. It didn’t stick the first time.” – Justin (91:45)

Episode Tone & Style

• Very loose, irreverent, playful, and at times wonderfully unhinged.
• The brothers switch between genuine sibling affection, mock irritability, and authentic vulnerability about their roles and how they relate to the audience.
• Laughter abounds, especially as the group gets increasingly punchy and sweaty in “the jazz phase” of naming.

For First-Time Listeners

This episode is a perfect encapsulation of the MBMBaM experience: a blend of inside jokes, heartfelt group therapy, wordplay madness, and relentless communal brainstorming. It's less about the outcome and more about the joy—and occasional futility—of collaborating with your brothers (or, in spirit, your community) to make something memorable and just a little bit weird.

Summary

In “The Naming of 2026,” the McElroys bring the MBMBaM community into their annual rite of passage: naming the year ahead. Through chaotic riffs, deep-cut wordplay, and a barrage of increasingly odd ideas, they surface a theme of persistent effort and resilience—“Make It Stick: Throw It Again.” As always, the fun is in the trying, failing, and trying again.

Transcript

[A]

Hello, my name is Justin McElroy. If you're listening to this on the day it is released, I may very well be currently, as you listen to this, be getting a routine screening colonoscopy. I say with all sincerity, I would much rather go through this procedure again tomorrow then replicate the audio experiment you are about to receive. Please enjoy my brother, my brother and me. Naming 2026.

[B]

The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby?

[A]

It's the start of something beautiful.

[B]

A small acquaintance has blossomed it's ripened into a precious friendship.

[A]

I could have never seen what was coming for me. Hangs at the skate park Hangs by the beach My life, it feels like life Ah, it's better it's better with you My life is Ah, it's better it's better with you this is true it's better it's better with you My life, It's better with you I'm gonna read the names of the year in a big list.

[B]

Awesome, dude.

[A]

Okay, we started with, of course, Zolo in 2010.

[B]

Was that like an evil, like a demon?

[A]

I don't think there was. There wasn't a theme so much.

[B]

I thought Zolo was like a demon that if you called him on the telephone at three in the morning, he comes.

[A]

Two thousand. Heaven. Get right with Christ.

[B]

That was a good one.

[A]

2012. 20 does. Getting it. 20 dirt. Dig it up. Get it out. 2014. 20 forward. Oh. 2020. Grif. Teen. The con is on.

[B]

Sweet stuff.

[A]

2016. Building bridges. 20 serpentine. Keep them guessing. Zag on them.

[B]

Needed that after the last 18.

[A]

Stronger together. Frankenstein teen become the monster. 2020 is where things get a little interesting. You got 20 funny. Fill your life with laughter and love.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

Which didn't track eventually and became 20 honey down to beesness. And then at some point, according to the official Wikipedia, we later retconned the year to be honey funny. Fill your life with laughter and bees. Yeah, I told you. Okay, so that's the official.

[B]

And that is a wrong that stood for far too long. That has been set right. And I do feel better.

[A]

2021 was big dog run. No doubt about it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

2022.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

20 rendezvous. Fancy takes flight. A very good one. 20 sun and sea surf the vibe. 20 fungalore. He heard your wish. Then there's 2025, which was very briefly Tummy Buddy Life, Dare to Care before morphing it into 20 Thunder Drive faster than Guys.

[B]

That one sucked. Shit, dude, I've been so. Tommy, Buddy Life or Tummy Tummy Buddy Life.

[A]

Tummy Buddy Life was a. That was. You know, I feel that the election of Donald J. Trump is not truly a reflection of the American soul, but rather a reflection of the failings of a system that needs. Our system that needs to be fixed.

[B]

Now, I think a little bit of our soul got in there.

[A]

Sure. It's just a bit of a sticky soul. And that's true of our naming of the year. But I think what it really reflected was how we needed to rethink the entire process. Yes, right. It was a failure of the system.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And that's why this year we're not going to use the electoral college to come up with the theme. It's going to be a populist, full blown populist vote to come up with the theme. We've rethought it.

[B]

We're doing it together. Maybe you're not watching the video and you're like, what the fuck's going on? We're all in the same.

[A]

Maybe we didn't release the video.

[B]

Maybe we don't really. Maybe it's not very good stuff.

[A]

Maybe there's only the video and the audio didn't work.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now we have had just, I would say a series, not counting. Tell Me Buddy Life. A series of real home runs.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So I wanted to.

[B]

Can we stop before we do that and just say, I don't know that I lived particularly faster than fear this year. I did feel like a bit of a fraudster, if I'm being honest. I didn't do too much.

[A]

I saw you were at least 1 mile.

[B]

I don't live a life. I don't live a life that presents frequent opportunities for courage.

[A]

I kind of thought that, like, do as we say, not as we do is kind of understood. Right.

[B]

It's not our.

[A]

I have a theme set for me by my gurus. You know, they have said, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a trickle down theme.

[B]

I gotta get some fucking gurus, dude.

[A]

Yeah, you have to, man. Right off the bat, I'm the only.

[B]

One who's gonna talk about whether or not they live faster than fear and be vulnerable.

[A]

No, I do. Every day I stood on my roof to hang Christmas lights, man. Did you? Yeah.

[B]

That is Brave.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Did I do anything scary? You dingleberry. I don't think so.

[A]

So I'm gonna page 20 Dingleberry. I was Scroog. I was Scrooge. And I got body slammed by a former professional wrestler. I don't know if you can ever be a former professional wrestler. You know what I mean?

[B]

It's always in there.

[A]

The dog's in there. But I got body slammed while I was playing Scrooge. That was. Took a lot of bravery.

[B]

I did the high ropes course at Great Wolf Lodge.

[A]

Oh, yeah. There we go. Whoa. Okay, this has gotten too personal. Let's talk about 2026. Okay. Is that I wanted to push. What I wanted to say was the one thing I wanted to try was 2026, let's go enjoy Christmas. And that would be the theme is awesome. 2026.

[B]

Dude, I love a short.

[A]

I would love to 2026. Let's go enjoy Christmas. I don't like the way those two concepts pair together. Okay. Is my problem.

[B]

I think if people think there's a duzzle relationship.

[A]

Specific fact that we were recording this while all of our family is out enjoying each other's company. Yes. And we could. And we're stuck here enjoying each other's company. And we're a debt right now by doing this, you know?

[B]

Yeah. No, I mean, Rachel's gonna take a nap later, and I'm gonna feel too guilty to take one because we were in here doing this.

[A]

I won't. I'll take a nap. I don't nap.

[B]

I'm juice. I appreciate the. Oh, we're in Justin's house right now. And the hospitality he shows us is like such a. Such. It's so incredible. You're such an incredible host and brother. And I love you so much. These zero sugar Kool Aid jammers are trashed here, dude. These shits are trashed here, dude. This is absolute junk, bud.

[A]

This shit. You knew Griffin was coming, and you know how he treasures his jammers.

[B]

No.

[A]

Yeah. It's the kind of thing you get so other parents will think you're doing a better job.

[B]

This tastes like the shit that they would make us at church when they would cut it and cut it.

[A]

Oh, God, that makes me mad to think about. Oh, man, that makes me mad. I had thought about that forever. You know how you get iced tea and it's unsweetened at, like, a function? Yeah, we do that at our church. With unsweetened Kool Aid. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, man. Yeah.

[A]

Anyway, 2026, let's go I don't want to do that. Listen, you do have to type it down, though.

[B]

That sucks. How am I going to type when I have this thing in my hand?

[A]

I can hold it for you if you want. So many people have put in comments in the past year. Have put in comments. Yo, Justin, make it 20, 26. How many people? So many. And I just wanted to go ahead and represent them. Can you increase the font size? Dude, the font size. The. And the amount of screen real estate. The font size for sure. The zoom, the amount of screen real estate. I mean, everything about it is, you know, illegible and unpleasant.

[B]

That's too much.

[A]

No, I don't think it is, man. If you think about a video, I mean, it doesn't really matter because.

[B]

Do you have a subtitle for 2026?

[A]

Let's go enjoy Christmas. Ooh. Conceptually challenging.

[B]

That sucks. Can I go ahead and strike through that, Travis?

[A]

Yeah, leave a comment. I see I've been all voted.

[B]

Gonna leave a comment on that for later.

[A]

Yeah, so we remember. I'm gonna pitch 20. Get your kicks. Appreciating the beauty of America's greatest road.

[B]

I don't know how to hyphenate these. Demonstrate. Celebrating.

[A]

Celebrating the beauty of America's greatest road. Okay. Route 66. That would be an interesting match with our.

[B]

Yeah, 66. I don't want to do a sequel to Car stuff because we did car stuff last year.

[A]

Well, this is about the road itself. Less about driving and more about the journey.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Check this shit out. Wait, I'm gonna save that one, because I think that's got juice. And we are obviously burning some goofy ones right here. How about 20 check for ticks. No time for Lyme.

[A]

Oh, 20 check for ticks.

[B]

20 check for ticks. No time for lime. Do you guys. Sorry. Do you guys like when people don't check for ticks and they get Lyme disease because of it or Rocky Mountain spotted fever or any other tick? Bor.

[A]

He brings this up every year. Yeah, no, it is a serious problem.

[B]

Some of us got really sick from one of those.

[A]

It would be nice to raise awareness for one for a change.

[B]

Yeah, that would be cool.

[A]

I just feel like, how often. How often is that gonna come?

[B]

Anytime you go outside or feel anytime.

[A]

Even like to take out the trash.

[B]

If you go in the house of somebody who you think may have been in a forest earlier that day, you better check for ticks when you get home.

[A]

I do also kind of feel like our audience maybe has a higher preponderance of indoor kids. Yeah, okay, maybe.

[B]

I just thought. I. I just thought we could partner with Justin Timberlake for this one, but obviously that's. We can move on and we don't.

[A]

Have to talk 20 Dixie Chicks. Goodbye, Earl.

[B]

Okay, so this one's cool. I had one too. That. I'll write yours down. Dixie Chicks. God. Do you guys mind if I just don't do like punctuation and stuff?

[A]

Yeah, I know, man.

[B]

Sort of stenographer it. There goes my phone and goodbye.

[A]

Yeah, goodbye, Earl. That's just the song.

[B]

Okay, So I had 20. Just the chicks. They actually stopped using Dixie in 2020 with the release of their eighth studio album, Gaslighter.

[A]

So. But doesn't that leave room for us to be the Dixie Chicks? Yeah, we could also, if you guys would round the 20. Dixie chicks. Cowboy, take me away.

[B]

Oh, man. But it can't be. Here's the thing. I don't want to.

[A]

I don't want to be the Dixie.

[B]

Boys like so bad. And we can't just drop the Dixie like the Chicks did and just be the boys because that's nothing. That's been the SEO on that is fucking shot, dudes.

[A]

The Dixie Dicks. What?

[B]

Justin, do you have one?

[A]

What do you think about 20 stunts in Flex stunts and flicks.

[B]

Stunts. Stunts in flicks.

[A]

In flicks. Hooray for Hollywood, huh? And so this is a year that is all about appreciating our great stunt artists.

[B]

That's cool.

[A]

That keep our celebrities safe. They're out there risking their bodies on the front line to protect, you know, our Ray Romanos.

[B]

Our. Yeah, he's doing a lot of movies that require stunt Harrison people ford, you.

[A]

Know, 20 stunts in flicks. Hooray for Hollywood.

[B]

We just watched Home Alone, which has an all timer when he goes across the zip line and turns. Turns into a 29 year old small woman and then back into himself. Yeah, for a little while.

[A]

She's into Mary Martin flying like Peter Pan rules.

[B]

That's a good one. I got. I dropped my phone.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I wish I didn't groan that loud when I bent over. Not that far. 20. Hit the bricks. We've had it. This one I think would be about Donald. Like maybe this is the year where we finally bumped that fucking guy out of the house. Out of the house.

[A]

Oh, you're getting.

[B]

I don't know how much. I mean, yeah. I don't know how much weight we can really put behind that effort. But if there's anything we can do to. Hit the bricks, pal.

[A]

Hit the bricks. It's pretty strongly worded.

[B]

I'll be honest. I'm not going to write it down.

[A]

Okay. You didn't like it that much.

[B]

The vibe in the room was so. After I said it, the vibe in the room was so toxic.

[A]

How about this? 20 honey sticks back in business.

[B]

Let me sit. Can I digest it for a minute?

[A]

Mm. I'm a yes. So that's two yeses. You wanna hold the mic for this one, Griffin, for a change?

[B]

What's a Honey stick? Is a Honey stick one of those things they sell at the farmer's market? The farmer's market?

[A]

Get em at Floyd's Fresh Fruit.

[B]

Yeah. Do you guys like those?

[A]

I always think I'm gonna like them more than I do. No. Yeah. But there's also not a lot there to suffer through. Do you want my brother to know if I like honey sticks or fucking not? You need to be quiz. You're right. You're right.

[B]

Thank you, Griffin.

[A]

I kind of like them.

[B]

I've become a hu. A nightly tea man. I'd love to drink a cuppa with my wife as we watch our programs.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That thing's just eating shit left and right, dude. Yeah.

[A]

It's even recording. That's the worst part here. Maybe if I put it to work. Maybe if you lay it down.

[B]

My honey consumption has easily quintupled because of this new habit of mine.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't want it in stick form though.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Honey stick could also be that thing, the ridged guy that they dip in there. Oh yeah. Drizzle. I do like that as well. Can we explore some other options before we commit to one that we've. Can we done before?

[A]

Can we. I think honey sticks are also. Can we just like you said you wanted to do a short one. 20 honey sticks back in business. Fulfills a promise. It makes good on a check that we wrote five years ago. However many years it's been.

[B]

Tell me what 20 honey sticks means to you.

[A]

This is attainable. Everybody can start making these. This is a small business. This is entrepreneurism. This is. This is Start your own. We're cure unemployment. They're going to cure you. Start your own Honey Stick brand. You send them with your kids.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

They show up to the cafeteria. Yeah, yeah. They. The other kids forgot dessert. They're Honey sticks. Griffin slams the slammer. I don't also think about the merch opportunities. We can sell those in the store. Honey sticks. Different flavors of honey sticks. Yeah. Do you remember in 2020 it held the line.

[B]

What do I Remember what in 2020.

[A]

We originally we had a bee themed one. Yeah. Down to bees.

[B]

Down to bees Ness for like three months.

[A]

Yeah. It didn't pan out. So we're gonna try one more time. Now we're back in bees. 20 honey sticks. Back in bee's ness.

[B]

I don't like it. And last year I didn't like. Tell me buddy life.

[A]

I think you pinched 20 Bunny Life. I hated that one.

[B]

And I stand 10 toes on that. I never liked that one. I did not. I may have said it. I wouldn't have said it if I thought it was gonna go through, but I bowed to the. I kissed the ring. Cause we had been doing it for.

[A]

An hour and a half and we had to get the fuck out of there.

[B]

I kissed the ring and I regret I'm sticking by my guns. I don't think so. 20 under mix some like it lumpy.

[A]

Huh? Are you gonna write that one down?

[B]

Yeah, I am, actually.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Hold my microphone, bitch.

[A]

This. This is good. I'm glad I closed the vents.

[B]

Did you? To really hurry things along.

[A]

I wanted to get that scrooge energy in here.

[B]

Yeah. So this can be like. Don't overthink it. You can't. Sometimes you can just put it out there and have some people like it instead of having to be perfectionist about everything. Some like it lumpy. I actually, in my phone, I had it written. Love it Lumpy. Love it Lumpy. No, it just said 20 under mixed. Love it Lumpy.

[A]

Huh? I kind of love. Can you think? Can you write down some love it Lumpy? Because saying it makes me happy.

[B]

Yeah, I'll just do. I'll do it like some.

[A]

Yeah, that's good. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Some love it Lumpy.

[A]

I've got one here that I like. 20 tips and tricks. Hack your life.

[B]

That's cool.

[A]

Ooh, actionable.

[B]

That's cool. Hold my microphone. I gotta write that shit down.

[A]

And then we could. We could invest, kind of rebrand a little bit as like a life hack kind of organization.

[B]

20 tips and tricks. What is it? Hack your life.

[A]

Hack your life.

[B]

I'll be honest.

[A]

Okay, that's fine.

[B]

Love the prefix. Hate the suffix.

[A]

We can change that.

[B]

I know, I know, I know. I'm saying 20 tips and tricks feels.

[A]

It could be a continuation. 20 tips and tricks, colon, to improve your life. Right. So then it's like one statement.

[B]

Oh, shit. Wait, this is a good point. Is that it sounds like we are saying here's 20 tips. I like when the 20 is like unrelated completely to the rest of the idea. But 20 tips and tricks I think is strong. I just don't know about hack your life, okay?

[A]

There's so many life hacks that are already out there. I feel like people would be happier if they stopped. Stop. They stop hacking their life. Stop hacking.

[B]

Just start living your life.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

20 skip the tricks. Just live your life. 20 skip the tricks.

[B]

20.

[A]

No more tricks.

[B]

Just live your life.20 skip the tricks.

[A]

Skip the tricks.

[B]

Maybe there's not a shortcut.

[A]

Maybe you don't need. Maybe just live your. Maybe don't do it the easy way. Maybe just do it our way. You know what I mean? Go your own way. Go your own way.

[B]

Can it be like. But can we couch that, like, 20 skip the tricks a couple times when presented with the opportunity this year? Take the hard way. Don't always.

[A]

I feel like we don't need the asterisk. You know what I mean? It's like, just live your life, you know?

[B]

I had 20 bag of tricks. Master your.

[A]

I had that too. Yeah.

[B]

20 bag of tricks. Master your magic. Ooh, that can be like. You know what's special about you? You actually do know. Maybe you used to know. You can take that back and master your magic.

[A]

Master your magic. 20.

[B]

I think it's cool. Maybe not master your magic, but bag.

[A]

Of is having a bag of.

[B]

Doesn't sound anything like 20.

[A]

Can we try, like, do any of them? 20. 20 sex. That sounds exactly like 20. No question.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Get your. Nope. No check four. Not at all. Dixie, not bad, honestly. Dixie. 20. It's not bad. It's close.

[B]

I mean, honey. I'll go ahead and say that honey's gonna smash in this just the.

[A]

Nope. Stunson. I mean, yeah, that's in there. Stunson is not bad. Honey sticks.

[B]

Honey, honey.

[A]

Huh? 20 honey. Honey sticks.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, there's a reason we've been saying. Can I just say the fact that you're surprised by that when we.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

It's just hearing it again. It.

[A]

Turning to it. It's like hitting me again with a good one.

[B]

Under. Kind of sounds like 20 under.

[A]

I've got one that I think. Wait, wait, we're reading all of them. Tips and 20 tips and. Nope. Skip the Bago. No.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

20 punching dicks. Welcome to Fist City.

[B]

20 punching dicks.

[A]

Welcome to fist City.

[B]

Welcome to fist City. Now, Travis, I'll be honest. I think fist City's going to get a lot of foot traffic from some. Some confused and I will say probably pretty disappointed.

[A]

There'll be Spiders all over the World Wide Web. Don't go in there. Is that what you think? No, it's been crawled. Welcome to Fist City. What on earth does that mean?

[B]

Jasmine, I don't want to read this one. I got. I got like 10 hours of sleep over the last, like four nights. Cause Gus has croup and I woke up in the middle of the night and I wrote this one down. Okay, But I don't want to say it out loud.

[A]

20 big old tits. Junk City Showdown.

[B]

I thought that was cool. I didn't know what Jug City Showdown was.

[A]

It's next door city. Oh, no, no, no. You took the wrong exit. You went one too far. You gotta go back if you're looking for the Jug City shell. So can I just say, guys, you're in Nutsburg. You've gone way too far.

[B]

I am obsessed with the idea of referring to a single breast as a jug. That's a word that works in the plural, I guess. Kind of if it's 1999 and you're on the man show, but I think referring to just one jug. What is the name of the year again? Don't drool.

[A]

20 big old tits.

[B]

How does that sound?

[A]

Jug City Showdown. Okay, hold on. What does big old tits supposed to sound like?

[B]

20, 26. 20 big old 20.

[A]

It's 20 and then it's supposed to rhyme. 20 and big ol.

[B]

I didn't know that when I wrote it. High at 4 in the morning.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[A]

All right. So far so good. It's not bad.

[B]

No, I don't want to write that down.

[A]

I was trying to get this one to work phonetically. 20 the Phoenix something. Phoenix. I don't think the. Is it from the ashes would be.

[B]

Can I tell you it's the meter, dude.

[A]

Yeah. I couldn't get the meter to work.

[B]

Meter ain't right. The meter's gotta be right. The rhyming I don't give a shit about, but the meter's Gotta be right.

[A]

20, flick your Bix. Burn it all down. What?

[B]

Flick your bics.

[A]

Flick your bicks. You know, it was the ad campaign for big lighters to like. I don't want to give more free advertising to these corporations. Well, it wouldn't have to be free. I mean, we could. We should do hold ourselves. Yeah.

[B]

Check this one out, guys.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

20 Stevie Nicks, a moonlight blessing.

[A]

So Stevie.

[B]

20 Stevie. 20 Stevie getting one of the. One of the things there.

[A]

That's one of the moonlight blessings.

[B]

Stevie Nicks, a moonlight blessing. God, this is more of Like a. I don't know.

[A]

What does that mean?

[B]

This is a vibe. No, it's just a vibe Year fungalore. Didn't mean anything to me. But it was a vibe and it was cool, and I rode that shit to the finish line. I saw Stevie Nicks once live on stage. She came out in the middle of a concert with. Not Bob Dylan, but the other one, and it was Springsteen. No, I'm trying to think of, like, Neil. No, not Neil. Simon.

[A]

Neil Young.

[B]

Neil Young. That's what it was. It was all right. But I just. Her vibe is, like, great. It's, like, wild. I'd love to just harness some of that, I guess.

[A]

20 crunchy mix, granola, Griesa. Okay. Huh? 20 crunchy. Nick. No, you. Okay. Well, I guess you gotta write that down for history's sake, but sounds like you want a Crunchy mix. Not so granola part, though, for. Surely. Granola, question mark.

[B]

Nope.

[A]

Question mark. Griesa. And this is just like a celebration of granola. Yeah. 20 crunchy mix, granola. Griesa. The N. The N and the O should be capitalized. I can't see. Can I tell you something, Justin, that I just noticed? Griffin and I are both pulling from a list that we constructed. Yeah.

[B]

Worked hard on.

[A]

And it seems like you just pulled 20 crunchy mix straight out of your asshole.

[B]

Are you generating these? Is this generative?

[A]

You know that this happens every year? So look at the holidays.

[B]

The Hollies can be a tough time for families. 20. 20. Watch the wicks.

[A]

I've never come up with them beforehand. Guys. I've never come up with them beforehand. It's just usually we are.

[B]

You don't see it. I don't see.

[A]

You don't see it.

[B]

The energy. Yeah. You always have your hands out of screen and you're making rustling noises like you have, like, a legal problem.

[A]

You do shuffle papers from time to time, which I thought was.

[B]

20. Watch the wicks. Keep them trimmed.

[A]

I feel like.

[B]

Please. It's a good one. It's a good one. It's. No, I don't want to read it now.

[A]

Okay, we'll circle back.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm worried that you guys are going to take this assumption that I didn't come up with these ahead of time. And you're going to let that color.

[B]

How you feel about the ones you make the other ones.

[A]

Well, that can go either way. Sorry. The ones that I've made before now.

[B]

The ones you've made. I mean, let's go back.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no. That I have not yet announced, but have previously made. I'm saving the good ones. I'm worried. No. What? You just told us.

[B]

There aren't ones that you prepared ahead of time.

[A]

That's not what I said. You guys made an assumption that I didn't prepare ahead of time. You didn't deny it. I didn't realize I was on trial, Travis. I thought I was recording a podcast. 20 crunchy mix. 1 you made up before this recording. It's not one of the best ones I made up. Okay.

[B]

Justin's hemorrhoid pillow is making my back sore. Seems like it's doing the opposite job that it's supposed to.

[A]

That's the lumbar pillow you're sitting on. I had 20 burning wicks. Light in the darkness.

[B]

Light in the darkness sounds so hugely, hugely, hugely Christian.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Which is ironic because I liked 20. Watch the wicks. Keep them trimmed and burning, you know, from. That's from, I think one of the sermons on the Mount, and it's like, be ready.

[A]

I also had 20 more John Wicks. Just saying, like, keep making them. You know what I mean? I enjoy John Wick movies. I would like to write more.

[B]

Should I write any of those?

[A]

I would rather you didn't. Okay. Yeah. I would rather you write down something.

[B]

That rhymes with 20.

[A]

I would rather you write down 20 under bricks. Cobblestone ahoy. And this is interesting because there's cobblestone under a lot of our brick streets, and they're so beautiful. And they really can't. Just telling people to dig up, go smash up.

[B]

Yeah, Travis. Just telling people, go smash up the streets.

[A]

I knew that you guys would start.

[B]

You guys like my brother, my brother me. It's my favorite podcast. Hand me that jackhammer so I can smash up this street. Hey, we're in Brooklyn now, smashing up the streets because your brothers tell me to.

[A]

Hey, once you guys decided that I hadn't made these up ahead of time, I knew you were going to start being critical like that. This.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Huh? Twenty. Twenty river sticks, the souls must flow. River doesn't sound anything like 20, not like under bricks. Okay? But 20 river sticks, the souls must flow. It's very threatening. Now that I've said it out loud. It's really threatening.

[B]

It's very threatening, actually, Trav, I'm worried you're going to be blowing that mic out if you swallow it.

[A]

Is there. Is there something we can do with the band sticks there, river? Something like 20 classic sticks. 20 classic sticks. 20. 20.

[B]

20 funky sticks.

[A]

20 funky sticks back. And funkier than 20 pickup sticks. The staff is yours. Oh, 20 funky sticks. Out to the boneyard.

[B]

And it's like out to the boneyard.

[A]

Get the B sides. Those sticks. B sides, dude.

[B]

And we could do all bones and stuff for our dress up like skeleton. Out to the boneyard.

[A]

I like the aesthetic of that now. I'm hung up though, on something like 20 perfect sticks, like, you know, search the field or a walk in the woods. But we're. It's the. It's the undy.

[B]

Undy.

[A]

It's undie of the whole thing, you know, funky.

[B]

I don't. Travis, Travis. Can we be a united front here against this? I would say draconic, authoritarian. We have to rhyme with 20 thing.

[A]

Yeah, man. Because there's 10 of them, Justin, that will have 20 in the middle.

[B]

We've done a good job a lot of the time doing it. We have earned one where we can say whatever the fuck we want to. Okay, 20, 26, 7. Let's keep it going now. I think it's very funny.

[A]

Would this be a two year one?

[B]

Yeah, I think it's very funny if Jan1 we plant the flag and say like, I know everyone's getting sick of this one. I know everyone's getting sick of this.

[A]

Everybody settled in.

[B]

But for one year?

[A]

Yeah. No, no, dude. Cause if you do. Has to be the theme. For two years. Yeah, for two years we're saying 730 years. 20, 26, 7. Keep it going. That's awesome. I thought when you said keep it going, I thought you meant for two calendar years. That's what I assume. Cause it's six, seven. It's bridging.

[B]

That's cool. That is cool.

[A]

And I promise you that us like three middle aged dudes saying it a lot would kill it.

[B]

And our show, I think both. But there's the thing, right? Then we kind of grab onto it.

[A]

March of 2027. And we're. What's up, Dave? Can I get a yeah, please? For the love of God. Where'd you all go? We're gonna stream more Fortnite. Promise. Got it right now. 2026. All right.

[B]

You gotta get on. You're goofing at. You're busting out of frame, bud.

[A]

Oh, you're right. Lean back in. Do you want to hear my actual favorite one? That.

[B]

Oh, I don't know if I'm ready yet.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I got like a bunch more stinkers.

[A]

Oh, okay. Oh, wow. 20 pick and mix Grab bag year is another one that I have huh.

[B]

Sometimes grab bag. That seems too hard for us to. I want to be able to control the message a little bit.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Although that does keep us from having to, like, take the blame for when it's really bad, like, coming to your life, which I do like. 20 See what sticks? Throw it all at the wall.

[A]

That was my favorite one. 20C. What sticks? Spaghetti at the wall. That was my favorite one. Wait, guys. I came up with 20 see what sticks? Spaghetti at the wall. Are you kidding? But no, but it was one of the many that I came up with ahead of time.

[B]

Do you. Are you guys married to spaghetti?

[A]

No, but I will if that's required for the role. Is it? What was yours? Throw it at the wall.

[B]

Will you? Open mouth kiss. A plate of spaghetti for $150 in front of my wife and an IMDb credit. Throw it all at the wall.

[A]

20. I think throw it at the wall would be better. I think all.

[B]

You don't like the rhyme.

[A]

20, 20. 20. See what sticks? All at the wall.

[B]

That sounds like we're about to get into ball with da bop.

[A]

Yes, sir. So you're writing it down immediately, Right? Toss it at the wall. Throw it at the wall. 22 and 6. Ball with the ball.

[B]

That's in a bim bam ass name, man.

[A]

Yeah, that's good. 22. I would love to work with Richie on some. Yeah, sure.

[B]

I don't know. We could fix. We could fix him. Guys, you put us in a room with Kid Rock for. We go out to a cabin for a month.

[A]

Not in this room.

[B]

Not in this.

[A]

Not this room.

[B]

Well, we would need space to kind of, like, break off and like, have our own kind of, like, sessions where we internalize a lot of the stuff that we talk. I think you give us a month in a cabin with Kid Rock and we could fix him.

[A]

We could fix or break him.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, either way.

[A]

Well, you'd have to break him first. Yeah.

[B]

I said 20 under mixed. Love it. Lumpy, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

20. 20. Pumped up kicks. Foster your people.

[A]

I don't love the undercurrents of that song.

[B]

The undercurrents of the song are obviously not ideal, but Foster your people.

[A]

Foster your people is good.

[B]

And it has a theme song already.

[A]

Yeah. But once again, the theme of the song maybe is not something we want to enjoy. I don't know that that's your best.

[B]

All the little kicks with the pony.

[A]

That's not it, Tony. Honey sticks.

[B]

I forgot what the other part was.

[A]

Foster Beesness.

[B]

Okay. Are you guys out?

[A]

No. I'm not even close.

[B]

20 funny flicks. The Hangover trilogy, available on Netflix for a limited time.

[A]

20 funny flicks is maybe.

[B]

You like that rhyme, don't you, pervert? Nasty fucking boy.

[A]

It's less sweaty than stunty flicks. True.

[B]

It's true.

[A]

I will say this. I don't think there's a world in which stunty flicks should take it in. Funny flicks. Yeah. No, I agree. Because there's so many great laughs in the history of cinema.

[B]

It was stunts and flicks. So you would probably know that if you had your own document that you had written all the time I was.

[A]

Doing all the tech for the other stuff.

[B]

That's true. That's a good point.

[A]

Here's one of mine. 20 fiddlesticks screw ups. Welcome.

[B]

Okay, so I really, really, really like 20 fiddlesticks. I had 20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

Me too.

[B]

I think I wrote. Tried to write Forgiveness within, but I wrote Forgoverness Within. Which is.

[A]

Which kind of fits. Hey, Griffin, real quick, just type out 20 fiddlesticks forGovern within, if you could, because I'm thinking that. Nope.

[B]

Don't you want to hear autocorrect?

[A]

No. No, no. For goveness. No.

[B]

Wow. Damn.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Really doesn't want Coward. Looks like it says for governess. Like, this is a letter for the governess.

[A]

I mean, 20 fiddlesticks PO Buddy's nerf.

[B]

I thought I had that thought.

[A]

For governess Within.

[B]

Forgoverness within is cool. It's gonna be hell for every poster designer, every website that talks about the theme.

[A]

Yes. When the New York Times covers it.

[B]

Yeah, I like 20 Fiddlesticks a lot. 20 Fiddlesticks is just, like, cool. What is a fiddlestick? I know we say it when you fuck up.

[A]

I assume it's what you play a fiddle with. Should we make sure that Fiddlesticks isn't some, like, terrible dog whistle? Sounds like terrible thing. If you hear fiddlesticks. You guys look that up real quick. Let me check my list. Yeah, check your list, Justin.

[B]

J.D. vance calls his wieners Fiddlestick is in here. It's a character in League of Legends.

[A]

20 Huffing Vicks. Clear it up. Ooh. 20 Huffing Vicks is nice because there could be a branding partnership there. I don't think they want to be thinking about people huffing it. I don't think they like huffing the product.

[B]

But it does clear it out.

[A]

Yeah, clear it out. Clear it up. Dry it out. Clear it up.

[B]

Dry it out.

[A]

Open it up. Dry it out. Open it up. Dry it out just like Ben Shapiro. What? Oh, yeah. Dry it out. Open it up.

[B]

I hate. I don't. Justin ruined it for me with that.

[A]

Yeah. With that thing being said. 20 huffy tricks. Check this shit.

[B]

Ooh.

[A]

Not Check this shit. That's not good. But BMX Adventures. 20 Huffy Tricks is one that I. BMX Adventures. BMX Adventures. Yeah, that would be cool. Another. Oh, you're separating. Co branding. Yeah. That's a good idea. That's smart.

[B]

That looks the same.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

20 huffy tricks tricks.

[A]

Yeah. BMX adventure. Gleam the cube.

[B]

BMX.

[A]

No. Gleam the Cube's is Gleam the Cube. Skateboarding or bicycling?

[B]

Gleam the Cube. That sounds like some. I don't know. It sounds like Stranger Things to me.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Sounds like something I should.

[A]

We get a Stranger Things. Oh, man. We. Good collaboration.

[B]

20 yummy. 20. 20 watch netflix. Stranger things. Stranger things out now. 20 it's all done.

[A]

It's a new home of batman.

[B]

20 love netflix. Stranger danger.

[A]

Stranger danger.

[B]

No.

[A]

Great tv.

[B]

Great.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Great tv at.

[A]

On demand.

[B]

Netflix. Yeah. No, not bgh. Podcast production tracker.

[A]

That's not it.

[B]

Let's do that. What if our motto had our entire schedule on it?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That would be so fucking cool. Put that on a poster. Are you okay?

[A]

Yeah, I'm just thinking about. That's a good one. I just think we could really help Netflix with this.

[B]

Yeah. Suretflix. This is a reminder.

[A]

That's a reminder. Yeah. To hashtag em.

[B]

All right.

[A]

The. No Great tv. That was really important punctuation.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think there's too big of a.

[B]

Chance that it'll get left out. You know, folks are gonna, like, come up to those signs and tag the Spubby.

[A]

People are gonna have a field day with Photoshop on that one.

[B]

20. 20. I had 20 jump the cricks. A boy's wilderness adventure. But that's not Brandon.

[A]

No.

[B]

Oh, okay, check this one out. A lot of ours are about doing stuff for yourself. Like get right with Christ, surf the vibe. A lot of that is about what if this year was about taking time and energy to help someone else achieve just one dream, one goal? 20 got your six. Become the wind.

[A]

Hmm.

[B]

Like you're the win. Like you can be the win beneath. Some. The subtitle's not quite there yet, but the win beneath.

[A]

But I think 20 Got yout Six. Like, I've got your back. Something about like 20 get their back.

[B]

But 20 got your six. Got your back.

[A]

I'm brainstorming. I'm trying to get there, Griffin. I'm not sure. It feels like too militaristic for our vibe.

[B]

It started for World War I combat pilots, and I'm pretty sure back then we were still cool with what they were doing.

[A]

We liked it.

[B]

Yeah. I wouldn't use anything back then.

[A]

We knew what it was about.

[B]

If there was any new shit, if there was any new slang, I don't know that I'd want to drop yet. But World War I combat pilots, I don't know.

[A]

Can I ask about one that I. Now that we're talking about co branding, what do you think about 20 crunchy tricks bring back balls? I like the ball shapes better. And they used to be balls originally, and then they were fruit shapes for a really long time and then they brought back the ball shapes and I rejoice. Cause it's original. But then people wanted the fruit shapes of tricks back.

[B]

20 what? What tricks?

[A]

20 crunchy tricks bring back balls. This is a year with an attainable goal. I'm just going to ask General Mills to change from the fruit shapes.

[B]

You think that's attainable?

[A]

You.

[B]

I think you've. I think you've forgotten the face of your father.

[A]

I think. I'm not saying I don't mean attainable in the sense that I can attain it. I mean attainable sense that, yeah, it is possible. It's within the realm of possible. Could we work like artificial flavors and colors in there too? Because I miss those a lot. Those are back. Those were gone for a while, but now they're back and they're like fully neon. Like nobody. It's like a different era.

[B]

I mean, I don't have. I don't have a lot of branded ones.

[A]

I have 20 Jiminy Glicks. Wow. You just wrote that down.

[B]

You have the paper.

[A]

Piece of paper.

[B]

Yeah. The meter's not there for me.

[A]

Yeah. Sit up.

[B]

I do have 20 to the quicks. Cut the bologna. And I could change that to be like the chocolate drink.

[A]

Oh, that's. Yeah. For a brand name. 20 get the quicks.

[B]

2 get the kicks to the quicks. Cut the bologna. But it sounds like the chocolate. The chocolate milk brand just started selling bologna.

[A]

You gotta stop with the bologna, man.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's maybe the worst year theme that I've ever seen written down in terms of just viability and overall quality.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. 20 laying bricks. Build back better. Looks.

[A]

20 lane bricks. Build back better. There's no way that could go wrong. 20 cocaine bricks. Uncut. Funny.

[B]

I don't think so.

[A]

Uncut. Jim. Uncut jobs.

[B]

I'm out.

[A]

Good. Now we can get to work. Now we can start the show. It's better. It's better. Boogie. I love Smalls. At my house, the only people who love Smalls more than me aren't people at all. There are cats, Olive and Amelia. It has really normalized our relationship with food for a long time before we found Smalls, which are these, like beautiful little packets of cat food and some fun cat flavors that cats crave, like smooth bird, you know, like stuff that cats are into. Smoothed up bird. Smalls smooths them up for you. And, you know, they used to just graze on dry food all the time. I didn't really know how much they were eating or what was going into their, you know, little cat bodies. But now that we use Smalls, the cats are, you know, we're controlling their diets better. They seem to have a lot more energy, their cat, their cat coats, their beautiful cat coats are looking great, looking shiny. We've been users of Smalls for God, I think it's been over a year now. So this is not just like a product that we use because they're a sponsor. They are really have revolutionized the way we care for our cats. Sincerely. We love Smalls and I think that you will too, if you give it a shot. Make 2026 your cat's healthiest year yet.

I'm Jordan Crucciola, host of Feeling Scene, where every week I have a different actor, director, or writer as my co host. And whoever that co host may be, it is a sure bet that we are digging deep and having a great time doing it. I love that you just said that. Yeah, I mean, if I were gonna.

[A]

Join a cult, I think this might be it.

[B]

A fresh look at your favorite film and a peek behind the curtain at how movies get made.

[A]

Oh, okay. I'm gonna tell you this whole story. Okay. I almost got fired from that movie.

[B]

You should be listening to Feeling Seen.

[A]

I had so much fun. I love what you're doing. I hope I did okay.

[B]

New episodes every week on Maximum Fun on Judge John Hodgman. The courtroom is fake, but the disputes are real.

[A]

Ryan would say I'm the Gumby of this family. He's just not claiming to be. Gumby is an un Gumby like claim? No, it's just Gumby and I being our authentic selves. So what's your complaint? Too many sauces.

[B]

There are no foods on which to put the sauces.

[A]

Have we named all the sauces on the top shelf yet? Not.

[B]

Not even close.

[A]

You economize when it comes to pants.

[B]

Truly, it's not about the cleanliness of the pants.

[A]

Well, why isn't it? This is what I want to know.

[B]

Judge John Hodgman.

[A]

Fake court, Weird cases, real justice. On MaximumFun.org, youTube and everywhere, you get podcasts.

[B]

20 candlesticks. An elegant reunion. This is just if we wanted to do a fancy one again.

[A]

Yeah. What about 20 oil slicks? Clean getaway.

[B]

20 oil slicks. Can we. Before we add any more to the list, can we talk about what we're feeling?

[A]

Can I say one more?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's the last one that I had co branded. It's the last one I had written down. It's not co branded.

[B]

Well, let me write Travis's oil slicks. What was it?

[A]

Clean getaway.

[B]

Clean getaway.

[A]

Okay, 20. No new tricks, old dogs. Hmm.

[B]

No new tricks. Feels.

[A]

20. No new tricks, old dogs.

[B]

Walk me through it.

[A]

You can't teach an Old dog, new tricks. Okay.

[B]

That is always said in a way that feels kind of aspirational for the dog, though. Like, you're challenging this one.

[A]

This one is a waste. This one is low press. This one is low pressure. We are old dogs. No new tricks. I've always thought of, you can't teach an old dog new tricks as a way to excuse. Maybe outdated. So this is like, language and terminology, behaviors finally taking them back. Agreed.

[B]

20. Can I. Let's have a. Yeah, let's take a. Let's have a. I got more, but. 21 new trick. Old dogs.

[A]

Old dogs go to heaven.

[B]

Old dogs go to heaven.

[A]

Mean dog's gonna help.

21 new trick.

[A]

[B]

This dog's got a bone. This dog's still got a bone to pick with you. I'm in the. Guys. I feel like I'm in the jazz phase of this process.

[A]

I'm over here. Like, I know what you're saying.

[B]

And you guys are still tuning in.

[A]

Are we at a point where you're like, this is the thing. Are we like, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo. Are we still, like, picking a song to sing? Do you know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. I feel like we're still trying to find the melody here. 20 treats and tricks. No Halloween all year.

[B]

No, I think it's good for us to go. I think it's 20 treats and tricks. Halloween all year. Have you not seen the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode where they make a wish and it's Christmas every day, and then it starts to kind of suck shit that it's Christmas every day?

[A]

Well, that's because they repeat Christmas. They repeat every day. I'm saying Halloween all year. Just as a lifestyle, not necessarily repeating the same actions every day.

[B]

No, it's not like a Groundhog Day situation. It's that they are doing different Christmas shit every day. And by the end of it, they're like, this sucks. We wish it would go back to normal. And that was the only other wish Santa Claus could grant them. And he does, and everything goes back to normal, and it turns out good. But they were really bummed out when it was Christmas every day.

[A]

I know lots of people who live a Halloween lifestyle year round, and they.

[B]

Seem to like it okay, but I don't think it's for everyone. I would hate that. I would hate that. I would be so scared. Do I have to get costumes for my kids every day?

[A]

Can we go trick or treat all day? Can we go back to the top of the list and strike through some of these that are not gonna get it. Can we please get to that?

[B]

I still don't think there's a keyboard shortcut for strike three.

[A]

I thought it was Control K. Is it not?

[B]

Is that it? You're about to blow my shit apart, right? Nope.

[A]

Nope.

[B]

Okay, so we'll get rid of 20. 20 sex, obviously. 20 get yout Kick Celebrating the America of beauty's greatest road. All about Route 66. I think that genre of music is among the worst. I think it's among the worst music ever made.

[A]

I would. There's what genre?

[B]

The road trip 50s fucking boogie shit.

[A]

I'm talking about the beauty of America's greatest road. And you're like, I fucking hate music.

[B]

Okay? That's not what I said at all.

[A]

Griffin's talking about you can't say 20.

[B]

Get yout Kicks all about Route 66. The road, not the song.

[A]

He's saying. He says right there. Celebrating the beauty of America's greatest road. Not the greatest song of all time.

[B]

But it also says, get your kicks on Road 66. Thank you.

[A]

20 check for ticks. No time for Lyme.

[B]

Go ahead and cross this one off. You guys like Lyme disease, huh?

[A]

Yeah. Love it.

[B]

Oh, sorry. When I said that, it wasn't confirming it. I was challenging you guys to say you are cool with tick borne illness as a concept in general.

[A]

I wouldn't say I'm cool with tick borne illness. I just don't know. I think that this is definitely a good thing to remind people of, but not a life lesson. Is there anything we could do with the tick to get another season or just get bit out of them?

[B]

Okay, so what about 21 new tickets?

[A]

Pick it. No, pick it in one. Who's the new tick? You got a name? They've had two perfect actors. Who's the third? Tick?

[A]

He's got it. Watch Chris. That's a good card. Leaves a lot of options open. You get a lot of room to grow. Oh, he's waiting for us. Narrowing it down. Do it. Coward. Narrowing it down. Do it. Type cur. Type cur. Do it. Do it. Oh, don't change it.

[B]

Huh?

[A]

Don't change it. Nathic is the son of. It's the son of Stanley Tucci.

[B]

Christian Ghost. It's Chris Tucci. You know, 21 new tit. Chris Tucci.

[A]

[B]

All right, 20 under mixed. Some love it lumpy. 20 tips and tricks.

[A]

You know what? Actually, I don't know if you can, like, star something or, like, whatever. I am coming back. 20 under mix some love it Lumpy is like. Yeah, I'm coming.

[B]

If we did this one, if we did this one, I would die on the hill of getting rid of some and just have it.

[A]

[B]

Love it, Lumpy.

[A]

Well, we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. 20 tips and tricks. Hack your wife. Yeah, I just would love to.

[B]

I don't feel like 20 tips and tricks. What if it's less about hack your life and it's more about, like, finish the. Finish the game. Finish the thing. Oh, yeah.

[A]

If we make it like Nintendo helpline.

[B]

Complete your. Complete your quest. Complete your quest. Fulfill your quest. 20 tips and tricks.

[B]

No more tricks.

[B]

Like thirsty. Yeah, way too thirsty.

[A]

What if it gets with magics like 20 dark magic, 20 old magic. 20 dark magics.

[B]

What I like about bag of tricks, this idea of as an actionable thing of just like, have some stuff ready to go that you can pop up to be like, ta da. I'm not saying become a magician or something like that, but it's more of a celebration of multidisciplinary growth.

[A]

Hmm.

[B]

And maybe a celebration of multidisciplinary disciplinary. No fucking way.

[A]

Dude.

[B]

Crush that ghost. Gross. Damn it.

[A]

Okay, can you. Can you write down a new one for me? It's just real. I know. Just. If you would just write down 20. 20 ricks. Who are they? Where did they come from?

[B]

Who are they?

[A]

Huh?

[B]

Where did they come from?

[A]

It's like a new. I see it as kind of a Damon Lindelof thing where everything is normal and there's just 20 more ricks than there was yesterday. 20 ricks show up and, like, nobody knows them. Yeah. But they are, like, they seem to know their whole thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Write down 20 pickle ricks. 20 pickle ricks. 20 Pickle ricks were rich. We're rich. We did it. 20 pickle ricks. Turn off the camera, Jeeves. Shut off camera. God, it's not working. Any of it's not working.

[A]

Can you mark out 20? 20 ricks who are there? Where did they come from?

[B]

Yeah, okay.

[A]

I do think it's an evocative concept, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

20 boudoir picks for your lover. I want to get rid of punching decks. That's what it's like. Such an invitation to Lawsuit City. I really don't want. You know, Justin, it's fist city. Yes, that's true. And it's recently been renamed to Lawsuit City. Oh, man.

[B]

Is it the grabbing you don't like? Because there's other things you can do with a fist.

[A]

No one even said grabbing, Griffin.

[B]

Grabbing discs.

[A]

You just said grabbing there, Dr. Dr. Freud.

[B]

No one said 20 fist and dicks.

[A]

20 fist and dicks. It's not like that. Fist fittings. 20 fist dicks. Welcome to Twist. Someone took a wrong turn at Jugtown. Is that right, Griffin?

[B]

Can we talk about how I've censored tits? Because there's four asters there.

[A]

It's sexist. Is that same?

[B]

I know, but there's four asters.

[A]

I think it's with two T's. T I T s. T I T y s. I assumed it was T.

[B]

I t y s. Maybe Jug City Showdown. No, T I T y s wouldn't rhyme. It's definitely not that. 20 Stevie Nicks a Moonlight Blessing. Are we getting rid of Fist and Dicks and Biggle tit's? Jug City Showdown.

[A]

I don't want to get rid of Biggles.

[B]

Hey, can I tell you one of my reasons why I don't want to use it is because I feel uncomfortable saying it.

[A]

Yeah, okay.

[B]

But I thought it was funny to do once.

[A]

Go ahead and mark it.

[B]

It may not even been funny to do once, but I definitely don't want to do it a million in times. 20 Stevie Nicks of Moonlight Blessing. That's going to seem like we're making.

[A]

Feels like we need to move it down to the, like, branded. Here's what I want to.

[B]

Stevie Nicks is going to pay us money. No.

[A]

20 New York Knicks. I want to. I want to try something new this year where like, we don't get rid of any of the sponsored ones. Those are just. They're on the train.

[B]

These are just here.

[A]

These are just here if you want to pay for them. Any of these companies.

[B]

Vix, we're open to doing a different.

[A]

20 New York Knicks race to the penn. 20. Sorry, wait. 20 New York Knicks race to the pennant. Got it. Perfect. I don't know if there's pennant in your car.

Something Granola Griesa.

[A]

Okay. Okay. Now you can cut it.

[B]

Can I try it? Like 20 crunchy mix. Griesa.

[A]

Cry the etchy on the.

[A]

I think we can go ahead and cut. 20 crunchy mixed granola liquors. Tucci.

[B]

Okay. 20 under bricks. Cobblestone ahoy. Okay. There's something I like about this, and it is something that I think I'm interested in as a concept for actionable advice to people, which is like, we've all spent so much time digging around in the dirt in Minecraft that it makes me think, why? But if I have to plant a plant outside, no way. Why am I like that when I could get a shovel and I could see what's happening down there, and I think there's something cool. It's like, maybe this is the year where you see what's happening down there.

[A]

But you don't have a theme you like thematically, you like that idea.

[B]

20 under bricks. Cobblestone ahoy.

[A]

Maybe it's not cobblestone. Maybe it's hidden past. Hidden paths.

[B]

Dig up the past.

[A]

Dig up the paths.

[B]

Dig up the past.

[A]

Paths to the past. I want it to be hard to say as possible. Yeah, there we go.

[B]

Dig up the pasts. 20 under new ones.

[A]

That's good. 20 under bricks. Dig up the paths.

[B]

I mean, I'm into it. It may just be because I'm pushing 40, but dig up the paths. That'd be an interesting project for the year.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Paths. Dig up the path. What about 20 chucking bricks? Smash it.

[B]

I don't want anybody. I don't want more people to be chucking bricks.

[A]

Then 20 laying bricks. Strong foundations.

[B]

I said 20 layin bricks. Build back better. And Justin made fun of me.

[A]

Well, build back better. Sucks. It almost worked, but strong foundations. 20 robin. Thick blurred lines. No, he's Right. Second chances. Put him in the blurred line. Second chances.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

No, that goes in the co Branded pile. Robin Thick. Get at us. You could pay us for Blurred line. Second chances. No, that's Alan Thick. That's Alan Thick. We could do both. You can do 20 Allen thick. Growing Pains.

[B]

I really didn't do that on purpose.

[A]

I know, but they're basically best friends. Well, one of them is passed.

[B]

What's the other guy's name? Robin Thicks.

[A]

Robin Thicks. No, they're both thick. Singular.

[B]

Second chances.

[A]

Yeah. No. Blurred line. Second chances.

[B]

Yeah. I'm not sure I want to afford him a second chance.

[A]

Yeah, so it'd be thick. Maybe Third chances. It would be sick. It would be awesome. Well, third line. Blurred lines. Third chances. Third lines.

[B]

Third lines. That's cool. He sounds. He sounds like he's on a hockey team at that point. I'd love to get hockey in there.

[A]

Is there something with sticks we haven't done?

[B]

Sticks? 20. 20 hockey sticks.

[A]

You can do better than that.

[B]

20 hockey sticks. Don't cuss. But it's like.

[A]

Oh, like double.

[B]

20. 20 hockey sticks. That's like throwers. It could be 20 hockey sticks.

[A]

And.

[B]

It'S like 20 L's in a row. The same function that it fills when you say it. To not cuss in front of a child.

[A]

You could say 20 wizard sticks. The power of the staff.

[B]

20 wizard sticks.

[A]

Power of the staff. Power of the 20 wizard sticks. 20 wizard sticks. Learn the game or die.

[B]

Learn the game.

[A]

Fuck, yeah.

[B]

Die. Haven't we. Was Fungalore the only sort of magical wizardly one? Have we done a wizardly one before?

[A]

No.

[B]

Wizard sticks is cool.

[A]

I like Wiz.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Wizard sticks kind of rules. Learn the game or die. Now, where does that part come from? Learn the game of die. Why is it Learn the game or die? Because I think wizard sticks is like. When you said Wizard Styx, I imagined like there was a ring the wizard had in his tower, and the only way he would give it to you is if you played him at wizard sticks. Oh, it's a challenge. Yeah. You beat me at one game of Wizard Sticks, and you can have the wizard sticks challenge.

[B]

Can we spell it like a cool way?

[A]

20 wizard sticks. Oh, yeah. Well, maybe not three X's. Mm. Maybe a Z at the end.

[B]

Sticks. But that. It's not called 20.26Z.

[A]

Oh, that's true. 20 wizard sticks.

[B]

Learn the game or die is cool.

[A]

All right.

[B]

20 river sticks. The souls must flow. That's.

[A]

I don't know. You use die in wizard sticks. That's why it also. It works two ways.

[B]

20 funky sticks out to the boneyard is cool. 20, 26, 7 is a check I am not willing to cash back then. 20 See what sticks? Ball with da ball. This was one we were all pretty excited about.

[A]

Yeah. I feel like maybe the subtitle is a placeholder on that one. Yeah, Just see what sticks. Well, we could leave it as a placeholder all year to see what sticks.

[B]

That's not bad, actually, conceptually. 20 see what sticks. No, we. I don't want to do. I don't want to do this all year.

[A]

I know. That's very fair.

[B]

That thought made me so tired.

[A]

I want to cut. 20 pumped up kicks. Foster your people. Unless you want to move it down to the.

[B]

Nah, that song sucks.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

20 Fiddlesticks for Goveness with that.

[A]

That one should get an asterisk. I like that one.

[B]

Fiddlesticks is just that word. It feels so powerful, and it's under you. I never say fiddlesticks. And so it feels like we have the opportunity to own something truly special.

[A]

20 fiddlesticks. It's all spilled milk. Yeah. Oh, forgoverness within. Let's keep moving, because I would like to highlight that one. Highlight that. It's a good one. 20 got your six?

[B]

I want to try to see if there's anything there.

[A]

No, it's. What bothers me about it is the got your six thing has this vibe.

[B]

To me of, like, SWAT dudes.

[A]

Yeah, it's like, not SWAT dudes, but dudes who, like, want, like. Who use militaristic energy as, like, a way to, like, pump themselves up.

[B]

The dudes at the airsoft yard who are, like, super intense. Like, super duper intense.

[A]

That's what it feels like. A little bit intense to me.

[B]

Yeah, I got you. I think I liked all that, like, sort of sky. A plane cuts a line across this blue cerulean expanse. A single cloud drifts by and we're on the ground watching with our little straw hats.

[A]

Yeah, but Fire 6 is still in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now if you did something about cool plane tricks. 20 cool plane tricks we really. 20. 20, 20 funky licks make it talk Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh make what? Guitar in a pizza terror way? 20 funky licks make it talk, you know? No, not like a.

[B]

Yeah, okay, so 2020 funky licks.

[A]

Yeah, make it talk Talk Take it for a walk. Make it talk. Make it talk. Yeah, let's. I think that's better than 20 funky sticks out to the boneyard. Although, do you really? Dude, 20 funky sticks out to the boneyard should go into co branded opportunities. I would love to work with sticks on this. Oh, my God. Are you kidding? Yes.

[B]

All right.

[A]

This is a good. Tommy. Tommy. If you're watching Tommy Shaw. What about something about snicks you're adding? You're right. This is fine if you don't think it's there. I just.

[B]

There's a few. I think I feel really good right now.

[A]

There's a few that I like.

[B]

I'm pretty stoked about $20. I want to cut.

[A]

No new tricks. You want to cut. No new tricks.

[B]

Can I cut oil slicks?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. 20. No new tricks. Old dogs, tricks. Just seems like we're missing a trick by not using it.

[A]

It's finding. It's finding the right context, though. Because I feel the same way about, like, mix and tricks magics. I feel just. The meter is not right.

[B]

Yeah, magic tricks. But I don't want. I don't want to encourage people to learn magic.

[A]

All right. I want to say useful magic tricks.

[B]

Wait.

[A]

I want to say that 20 wizard sticks feels like one that we like. That no one would.

[B]

You know.

[A]

Doesn't it feel like we would. We could talk ourselves into getting pretty excited about the idea of wizard sticks.

[B]

For sure. Dude. I feel like. I think we earned.

[A]

We would be like, we'd have a plan to sell that.

[B]

We earned 20 fungalore if we did 20 wizard sticks. Learn the game or die. It's going to feel like to everyone else, we're just chasing the high of fungal. Like, it feels like we're just trying to capture that again. And it has to be authentic.

[A]

Does it feel better if it's 20 wizard tricks?

[B]

I don't think a wizard would do tricks.

[A]

I feel like this is too much of an overlap. I don't want the nerds that listen to Taz to start listening to my brother. My brother, me. Because they think it's going to be about wizards and elves and all that garbage. Now I do want to go to. You didn't put it on the list, Grima. 20 hit the brick. You didn't include 20 hit the bricks. You're right.

[B]

Well, it's. Because my motivation for it was.

[A]

Yeah, it's just. Hit the. You can't do. Hit the bricks and hit the road. Yeah. Hit the brakes. Hit the road. Hit the gas. Hit the brakes. Hit the road. Hit the brakes.

[B]

Hit the. Hit the gas, Jack. Hit the gas, the road and the brakes.

[A]

Jack it off. Jack. Hit the Road Jack off. Jack no. Head to fist city. Jugtown.

[B]

Hit the bricks. Jugtown.

[A]

Punch the jug.

[B]

Hey. Jugtown. Hit the bricks. This is a Cobra bar.

[A]

Maybe they want you over in. Are you trying to go to fizz city? All right. No.

[B]

You look like you're dressed for fizz city. But you found yourself in Jugtown. A cobra bar.

[A]

20 hit the bricks. Hit the road is out.

[B]

20 hit the bricks. Cobras only. Jugtown.

[A]

Mm. Yeah. Get lost.

[B]

Cobra's only. Jugtown.

[A]

There we go. Now you found it. Now you can strike through it with confidence. Okay. 20 wizard sticks. Learn the game or die. Should be cut now before I regret it. Yeah. We're gonna come back to it. Too hard. Yeah.

[B]

20 funky licks. Make it talk.

[A]

I had to cut it and see secret before we could pay attention. 20 funky looks. Make it talk. It's too on the nose. I think.

[B]

Make it talk. It's just too.

[A]

Make it too aggressive.

[B]

And then 20 hit the bricks. Get lost. Cobra's only judge town.

[A]

Go back to. Is this all. Can you scroll? Is there more above the scroll?

[B]

I think. Yeah.

[A]

Okay. 20 stunts. And there's a lot cut out here. Hooray for Hollywood.

[B]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna make these smaller.

[A]

Okay. What about 20 classic flicks?

[B]

I don't give a shit about classic movies.

[A]

Yeah. Okay. Who's gonna listen to us about that indie flick? 20 indie flicks. Okay. I'm trying. 20 pickle rigs. A Celebration multi disciplinary growth. 20 pickle ricks. A celebration of multi disciplinary growth. Because we used to not do Rick and Morty and now we do.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're. We take 20 bag of tricks out and we put it a celebration multiple.

[A]

Well, what I love is 20 pickle rigs. Any of these subtitles would truly work for Govindas within.

[B]

Yeah. 20 under bricks. Dig up the paths.

[A]

I want tips and tricks cut because tips and tricks is an idiom and I feel like I don't want to like.

[B]

It's easy boost us.

[A]

Yes. It's just an easy idiot. Stunts and flicks. Honey sticks under mix like that's. We're in the 20 bag of trucks.

[B]

I want to get rid of 20 honey sticks. I don't think it's going to win and I don't think you guys do either. No, it's 20. We're more than halfway through. We're more than halfway through this decade.

[A]

Let's get back to it.

[B]

I think we can do one honey one at some point. I don't know that we Want to burn it on a year where there's this much other. Knowing how rough 2025 was, I would have gone for honey stuff.

[A]

Let's come back to it. Yeah, we can come back to it. All right.

[B]

We'll come back to it. 20 under mix. Love it, Lump. I'm getting rid of some. I hate seeing it there. It's ruining it.

[A]

20 under mix. Love it, Lumpy.

[B]

Love it Lumpy.

[A]

I don't know. I think some Love it Lumpy is. Love it Lumpy. There's like almost such a weird no connotation to it that my brain applies a dirty connotation.

[B]

Okay. Yeah.

[A]

Lumpy Lovin would be better.

[B]

Lumpy lovin.

[A]

Lumpy Lovin's bad. Don't ruin it. 20 under mix. Love it, Lumpy. Okay. 20 bag of tricks. I don't like 20 bag of tricks for the same reason that I don't like tips and tricks. It just feels like. But do leave 20 pickle ricks. A celebration of.

[B]

That's not gonna win. But there's something there. And I'm not ready to.

[A]

I do also kind of like 20 pickle ricks. Come and claim them. Because that implies we have 20 pickle ricks.

[B]

But that's just. God, why do I keep doing that? That's just for us. The audience can't use. Use that at all. I don't want. What are we telling them to do.

[A]

To see what happens? See what sticks? Feels very good to me. It feels like it's a little riskier, right? Because it's a year about. We're gonna try things, right? And the things might not work. We're gonna see what stings. And everybody's gonna do that, you know, is that we're not as confident inherently because we gotta see what stings. Can you shrink those other struck through ones? And also we might. It might be time. I think we've chewed on it for a long time, but it might be time to say goodbye to get lost, Cobras only, Jugtown.

[B]

Dude, can I tell you something? The rate at which we are going through those. I'm already bored of the joke I laughed at five minutes ago. I am fully ready to get rid of 20.

[A]

Hit the bricks.

[B]

Get lost, Cobras only, Jug.

[A]

That's. Yeah.

[B]

I mean, it's played, dude.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

God damn it.

[A]

We've got some really good ones. Ones here.

[B]

Can we return to 20 under bricks? Dig up the paths. I think I like under bricks.

[A]

Yeah. Under bricks. Is there something. What? Catacombs? Oh. Dig up the bones. Bones Below roads. Roads above bones.

[B]

Roads above bones.

[A]

Cask of Amontillado 2800 bricks, bury your friends. Stones above bones.

[B]

Stones above bones.

[A]

Oh, what about, like, hidden messages? Like, it's a dead drop, you know, like, oh, I would hide the message under a brick and you would know which brick to check to get the message.

[B]

20 under bricks.

[A]

20 under bricks.

[B]

I mean, there could be anything under there.

[A]

The fact that there's not currently, though, makes me feel like there just isn't. What do you mean? Layers of the past. I feel like it would have come to us. Yeah.

[B]

20 under bricks. Under bricks is just not it. I don't see it.

[A]

Under bricks is just not powerful.

[B]

It's just not powerful enough. I'm really sorry. I do like it. I like. I want. I wouldn't mind having a sort of Goonies year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where it's like, you know, 20 jumped the Cricks at Boys Wilderness Adventure, but good.

[A]

20 jumped the Cricks of boys Wilderness.

[B]

Said that one already.

[A]

Said that one. It's getting better, though.

[B]

So that leaves us with six.

[A]

Why did it have to be gendered? I think that's what killed it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Maybe there's something about slice hicks we can put in there. You know, I thought about trying to.

[B]

Get sliced 20 cool size hicks.

[A]

20 autumn hicks. Yeah, 20 autumn. 20 autumn hicks. I mean, if we went with Matthew, but he didn't go back. Yeah, but autumn and 20s, like. Yeah, yeah, they're kissing cousins. The 20 stunts and flicks. Hooray for Hollywood. Hooray for Hollywood isn't specific enough to the energy that is trying to be conveyed. If it is stunts and flicks, it ain't hooray for Hollywood. Also, it needs something better at the back end. Needs a fatter ass. Mm. Yes. Well said, Sir. Well said.

[B]

20 stunts and flicks. Welcome to ass city.

[A]

How's this for a fat ass, Justin? You want fat asses?

[B]

We got you, Justin.

[A]

Here's your fat ass.

[B]

What about 20 butts and flicks? Time to return to the theater. It's safe to return.

[A]

Oh, I thought it was a celebration of seeing butts in movies.

[B]

No, no. This is saying, get your butts in the theaters. Back to see. I don't want to tell people to do that. I don't want to tell people.

[A]

No, I don't either. And butts and flicks. Now butts and flicks. If you want to put that as a Mr. Skin thing, that. That could maybe be a cross promotional thing. I don't know.

[B]

I bet they have a juris.

[A]

I bet they have 20 brown folks. I bet they got a tab if you called Mr. Skin. And they were like, oh, my gosh, the videos of butts, too. God, that's good. We were only doing boobs the whole time. Crap.

[B]

Shoot, dude, shoot.

[A]

We gotta go. We returned all those movies.

[B]

We gotta watch all those GD movies again.

[A]

20. 20 stunts and flicks. Is there a general celebration of Hollywood that can replace stunts? Like, they're.

[B]

I like it. I like stunts. I like stunts. I like stunt people. I love the craft. I love the work. I think it's all cool. I don't think I can do a year of it.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. I'm not.

[B]

20 cents.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. That's 20 honey sticks. Ooh.

[B]

All right. Can I just say. Can I set a timer on my phone and we.

[A]

For when it's like, once it's done, if we don't have a better name, it's definitely 20 honey sticks.

[B]

No, I'm saying, like, we get. If it's not 20 honey sticks. I'm just saying, let's see through 20 honeysicks.

[A]

I feel like 20 honey sticks is the one that we keep coming back to. Yeah, it's the one that I think has the most legs. And I can see it being very. Circling back to 20 honey sticks. Back in business. Griffin, how strongly do you feel about it now? You've just written Tommy Buddy makes. Is that just to kind of bring your pals together? Is that a bad. Is that a bad one that you're trying to get out of your system?

[B]

No, it's just if we're. If we can do that.

[A]

Okay, I'm ready to. I'm ready to let it go if you're outta. Yeah, we can cut 20 honey sticks.

[B]

I just don't think honey sticks.

[A]

And listen, I don't actually want to hear you talk about it anymore, but you can cut it 20 under mix. Love it Lumpy is to me. Tell me what it is. Love it Lumpy is one of the. Like, to me, it's like, as a baker, it speaks to me directly.

[B]

Hey, you love it Lumpy.

[A]

You didn't. I mean, like, because you don't want to over mix. You didn't mix it enough. But some love it Lumpy. That's true. That's why I thought some was better. That's why I was reading to me. Is 20 under mix, you know, something a little bit lumpy.

[B]

Yeah, no, there's something about it that's saying, like, you fucked up, but it's cool because some people like that maybe we do a little swaparoo here. We do 20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

Love it.

[B]

Lumpy. We are going to have to explain that to pretty much everyone that we talk to about it.

[A]

It. Yeah, the. The. The explaining has not loomed large enough in my head over the past couple years, and I am trying to, like, bring that. I'm looking at forgoverness now with that in mind in a way that I wasn't before. Do you want to say forgot? I mean, I'm going to continue to think it's funny, but you guys may not. And that's the important thing because you guys have to say it too.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

You need to cut. Tommy Buddy mix. Bring your paws together because we already cut the other one. Happy accidents. Happy.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

Fate had other plans. 20 fiddlesticks. Unexpected befriending.

[B]

Failure.

[A]

Ooh.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

Forgovernous within. Embracing imperfection.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks. Failing forward. There's a. I don't even know if I like the alliteration there, but that.

[A]

Kind of also a little bit embraces. 20. See what sticks? 20 fiddlesticks. Fail for fun.

[B]

Fail for fun. Fun. Fail.

[A]

Just fail for fun. Lowering stakes.

[B]

All aboard The FAIL boat. 20 fiddlesticks. EPIC FAIL. 20 fiddlesticks. Epic FAIL.

[A]

No, see, you took it from. You took it from. Oh, we're there. And then you're like. And here's a dumb one if we called it 20 pickle ricks. A celebration of multidisciplinary growth. I think legally we're fine. I think legally it's fine.

[B]

But that sounds. Can I say, as funny as that is now it sounds like those two things are going to be related and that we are saying that Rick Richard, human or pickle form, is a master of multi discipline. I don't know that man from Adam's off ox. I've not watched the program. I don't know that I want to say. He's a fucking jack of all trades. I simply don't know. Shit up.

[A]

Now I'll say maybe. Maybe Pickle Rick's star has fallen a little bit.

[B]

That's fine. Yeah, man.

[A]

He doesn't have the. You know what? Go ahead. That's fine. If you want to cut 20 pickle bricks.

[B]

I don't want to cut 20 pickle.

[A]

I know, but maybe put it. Can I suggest. Can I just say this is maybe. Yeah, that's a co branding. It's a co branding opportunity. They want to get at us.

[B]

Yeah, get at us.

[A]

These.

[B]

These.

[A]

These are good. I would like us.

[B]

I'm just going to get rid of the Rob.

[A]

Do you think if we started selling a Pickle Rick shirt, they would start with a cease and desist?

[B]

I don't think we would get the courtesy of a cease.

[A]

And we can tastefully be like, fair enough.

[B]

I think one of us.

[A]

No. Because I think. I think that would imply a season desist. Would imply that on their end they thought we didn't know what we were doing was wrong. They appear to be so confused about the ownership of Fickle Ring, especially if.

[B]

We put this whole thing out.

[A]

I thought if I laughed at him a hundred times, he becomes mine like some sort of witch.

[B]

This actually isn't premeditated. Cause Justin didn't write down his shit before we came in.

[A]

I said it, but I also didn't write it down beforehand.

[B]

You'll never be able to prove that now.

[A]

I would like to. For us to just kind of jazz out, see what Sticks and Fiddlesticks. Cause those are the two that I'm circling back to. And I think with.

[B]

They're certainly the most cogent ideas between those two. I do like the concept of throwing spaghetti at the wall. I worry the subtitle's not gonna be as strong there. And I worry we giving up on Fiddlesticks, guys. Fiddlesticks.

[A]

Fiddlesticks is so good to say.

[B]

Fiddlesticks is so good to say. It just feels like we have to bring it the home on the subtitle, which is rare for us. That we have, like, the Phil Sticks.

[A]

Is like, there's nothing. Oh, man. This is the part that I didn't want us to be recording for because there is a part where you have to speak honestly about how you feel.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you have to be earnest.

[B]

And that's.

[A]

That's you. That requires you to be open. I think that 20 fiddlesticks. The problem with Fiddlesticks is that it's not inherently funny. So whatever the. Because it's like. It's. It's. It fits well. Fiddlesticks is like, not inherently funny. And that's what bothers me about it.

[B]

Is that empty too?

[A]

I know I'm running out of beverage, but there's no way we're opening that. No, no, no, no, no. So hot I would die to pee.

[B]

It's been 81 minutes. Is there a subtitle strong enough to redeem Fiddlesticks as a. This is. I agree.

[A]

That's why I like 20 fiddlesticks. That battle with the devil.

[B]

Like you're saying you're actually We're a podcast.

[A]

Like, for God's sake. No, but I'm saying like a devil went down to Georgia. No, no, no, Fiddle player.

[B]

But you're not going to be able to do much with that.

[A]

I don't think that's why I liked forGoverness. Within was such a big swing.

[B]

It's, like, cute. It's, like, kind of cute. Can we turn it where it doesn't have to be bust up Fronty and instead can be kind of cute.

[A]

I thought 20 fiddlesticks.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

20 fell sticks. Oh, shucks, Boss.

[B]

Oh, shot. Oh.

[A]

Ah, boss.

[B]

Up, up.

[A]

No, we haven't. Everyone else did.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks. 20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

You up 20th.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks. Apologize.

[A]

What do you think about 20 under mix? Love it Lumpy.

[B]

I don't. I didn't like the way you just. Can you say it in a different way? No, no, say it a different way.

[A]

Because some is better. 20 under mix, some love it lumpy. Or 20 fiddle sticks for gov ness within. 20 siwit sticks. Spaghetti at the wall. 20 siwath sticks. Spaghetti at the wall is too conventional.

[B]

20 C W stick. 20 fiddlesticks.

[A]

Both of those. 20 fiddlesticks feel like an express. Like, See what sticks is an expression of a mood or idea. Like, See what sticks? That makes sense, right?

[B]

If you're like, 20 see what sticks? I do like. I also really, really like it as a projectile of wisdom that we can point at people. Right? Yeah. See what sticks.

[A]

But See what Sticks is already so idiomatic. Yeah, Right. We're not building something else on the house of See what Sticks. That is an idiom that exists. We're not inventing a new idea. Right, right, right, Right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What about 20 Fiddlesticks is the same way? Right? We are. Fiddlesticks is like, it makes sense, but we got to come up with an abstract subtitle. Yeah. 20 tig ol bits. I would see. I was going to say 20 under chicks and be done with it, but, yeah, it was 20 under chicks. Oh, yeah, man. That's what it was.

[B]

Cool, dude.

[A]

Oh, so you read it already? It was. Oh, yeah, man. Cool, dude.

[B]

Yeah, I liked it. I liked it a lot.

[A]

Under 20 chicks. Oh, yeah, man. Cool, dude. That's what it was gonna be. I don't think we should. I wrote it down. You guys accused me of not writing it down. I wrote it down.

[B]

20.

[A]

20.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks. You.

[A]

You fucked up.

[B]

20 fiddlesticks. 20 fiddlestick. 20 seaweed sticks.

[A]

20 wizard sticks.

[B]

20 wizard sticks.

[A]

We should have bring. We should make the other ones.

[B]

This is. Can I be honest? This is my least favorite part of the episode where we have to go.

[A]

Back through the fucking.

[B]

We have to dig around in the trucks.

[A]

20 niggle Fritz. Oh, 20 snickle Fritz.

[B]

20 snickle Fritz is cool.

[A]

No, it's not. 20 sniggle Fritz. Bottom of the barrel. I don't want to explain the spelling every frigging time.

[B]

No, that word is enough in the public consciousness that I think it would be fine. I think people could figure out snickel Fritz.

[A]

20 on the Fritz.

[B]

20 on the Ritz.

[A]

20 on the.

[B]

Okay. Are we allowing and psst. Are we allowing and psst? Because if so, we could be here for another hour. Our significant others will be upset.

[A]

Funny. On the Ritz.

[B]

Our significant others will be upset if we open up and psst. Because we'll be in here for another 120 minutes.

[A]

It's icks ix is the sound.

[B]

It's gotta be icks 20 got the ix. 20 got.

[A]

That's too negative. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

20 nicks the x give just because they do something you think is weird. Maybe he's a great guy.

[A]

That's cool. That's a really cool Energy giving. Oh.

[B]

I think I just gave a lot of people the ick with that. But this is why I need this message to really stick. I'm seeing what sticks right now. I'm seeing what sticks.

[A]

20 make it stick.

[B]

20 make it stick.

[A]

20 make it stick.

[B]

Make 20 make it stick. Throw it harder.

[A]

Wait, guys, there's something cool there.

[B]

20 this idea of throwing the spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. If it doesn't stick, make it stick.

[A]

20 make it.

[B]

Make it stick.

[A]

Throw it harder.

[B]

Toss it hard.

[A]

Throw it harder. Throw it hard.

[B]

Okay, we're so close. I don't think the subtitle should be a command. I think it should be a something like 20 make it stick.

[A]

Throw it again.

[B]

Toss. No, that's a command. Something like throwing fast. Chucking fast. 20 make it stick.

[A]

Bring the cheddar.

[B]

Bring the heat. Bring the.20 make it stick.

[A]

Bring the. Bring.

[B]

Toss the sauce.

[A]

Toss the sauce. 20 make it stick. Toss the sauce. Because if you toss the sauce with the noodles, it's definitely going to stick.

[B]

20 make it make it. I'm just gonna. I feel like we're so close with make it stick. Feels so good to me. Cause that's not anything. But it also suggests that it's not fucked up.

[A]

You didn't try 20 make it stick. Do the impostable. No.

[B]

I was gonna be honest though. There was like, I. Yeah, there was hang time on that.

[A]

That's why I said no so fast. Anything's possible. Anything's no. 20. 20 make it stick.

[B]

Throw it.

[A]

Throw it.

[B]

Harder. Toss it.

[A]

I don't want to let go of anything's possible.

[B]

You gotta, you got to. You're being out.

[A]

Overruled. Get it.

[B]

Dude, not a pun. I don't think a pun is gonna be strong.

[A]

It's gotta make it stick.

[B]

Pitch, pitch.

[A]

Throw.

[B]

Toss.

[A]

Yeet. Chuck the cheddar.

[B]

Chuck the cheddar. Make it stick.

[A]

Boss the sauce.

[B]

Always throw harder. Top boss this. Boss that sauce. 20. No, it's got to be fast and hard. And do it again.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

20 make it sick. Do it again. 20 make it stick. Try, try again. Try. Try again. 20 make it stick.

[A]

The spaghetti's gone dry.

[B]

Spaghetti's gone dry. 20 make it stick. Try a different wall. This is a good 20 make it stick. Maybe do the ceiling this time.

[A]

20 make it sick. More noodles.

[B]

Find another wall. More noodles.

[A]

Newer wall. Stickier wall. Wider noodles, wider noodles. 20 make it stick. Doesn't even sound like 20. 26.

[B]

Justin, we're not doing this. I I. It's a million degrees in here.

[A]

20 make it stick.

[B]

This is cool. You know why I like this one so much?

[A]

Why?

[B]

Is because it's what we're doing right the now. Why I like this so much is because it's what we're doing right the fuck funny.

[A]

Make it stick.

[B]

Make it stick. Don't.

[A]

On the rebound. No.

[B]

20 make it stick.

[A]

20 make it stick.

[B]

Find your angle.

[A]

20 make it stick. Squish it on there.

[B]

20 make it stick.

[A]

SquISH it on there.

[B]

SquISH it on. SquISH one on.

[A]

Brute force, the funny brute. Squish it out.

[B]

20 make it stick.

[A]

SquISHT it on.

[B]

Squish it on.

[A]

Glue it on.

[B]

Squish it on. 20 make it stick.

[A]

Glue it on. Baby.

[B]

Set yourself free.

[A]

Accept no limits. Glue the limits.

[B]

20 make it.

[A]

Spaghetti to the limit.

[B]

Accept no failure.

[A]

20 make it stick. Except no failure.

[B]

And it's like, no, I know that didn't go the way that I wanted to.

[A]

We can have 20 make it stick except no failure. And 20 under mix. Love it. Lumpy. And then it's kind of like whatever your mood that day, it's maybe because.

[B]

You under mixed it is why it's not sticking.

[A]

20.

[B]

[A]

The reason I like. Okay, the reason I like throw it again is that it underlines the make it stick. So make it stick. You're not exactly what it sure it means. And then you say, throw it again, and then it's like we're throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. You've closed it. Yeah, it didn't stick the first time.

[B]

20, make it stick. You're right. We're going too far away from. Throw it again. 20, make it stick. Throw it again. Is there another word for throw that we could do?

[B]

Oh. What was that sound you just made with your body when you said it out loud? What was the emotion you. What was the emotion you felt when you said that out loud just now? Tell me the laughter. And what was the emotion we were.

[A]

Also talking about, like, throw it again to stick it to the wall. And you've somehow created a narrative that there was a boy in the hospital. He didn't ask for a home run. He asked for a picture to throw fest.

[B]

But the big boy can be inside you. That's what I'm saying. The big boy is in your heart. And don't disappoint yourself.
