Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Deleting Modern Conveniences (02:04-04:11)
Prompt: If you had to delete one—GPS, streaming, or online ordering—what goes?
- Jason’s Take: Would delete online ordering. Misses the days of calling a restaurant, talking to a real person, and the lost art of food hospitality. "I want to go back to calling phones and these places. Picking up the goddamn phone." (02:49)
- Travis’s Take: Strongly agrees—neither can give up GPS or streaming (since streaming is their livelihood), and the phone call allows for more human connection and order customization. "I fucking love calling into order... if I don’t want fucking onions in something... now I gotta call in and I’m like, can I get no onions?" (03:15)
- Humorous Frustration: Lament that nowadays, places don’t even pick up the phone, and there’s less surprise in finding out about deals.
- Consensus: Online ordering is the disposable one.
2. (Not So) Modern Dating Advice for Kids (04:15-12:36)
Caller: Young kid asks how to ask out a girl.
Genuine Advice
- Travis: Start by figuring out what you like about her and using that as a compliment. "Let someone know that you like them... it's a good conversation starter." (04:29)
- Jason: The core advice is just to ask her out directly. "Knowing what I know now... you just ask her out, and then you go on a date, and then you go from there." (05:55)
- Both: Don’t overthink it, don’t try preset lines or tricks, just be authentic. "Who you are is good enough, bud." (08:36, Jason)
- Travis: "For the child who called in, please take that advice and call us back. I want to know how this goes. We're on the journey with you now, brother." (08:49)
Classic (Terrible) "Dad" Advice, Riffing, and Jokes
- Jason (invoking “Ed Kelsey tiparoo”): Befriend the girl’s unattractive friend to make her interested—immediately called “bogus” and “1950s way of dating” by Travis. (04:56-05:19)
- Travis & Jason: Start spiraling into intentionally terrible, humorous “bad boy” suggestions:
- “You gotta be the forbidden apple.” (Repeated riffs, 00:45, 09:33)
- “You pit two, then you’re the hot commodity. Supply and demand, my friend.” (09:23, Travis)
- “It's called gaslighting. Now what you want to do?” (10:09, Travis)
- “Try jumping into a trash can with scuba gear.” (11:15, Travis)
- “Does your school have a jukebox you can hit? If you haven't caught on by now, all of us are old.” (11:56, Travis)
- “Come in with an ounce of weed to school, you’re getting expelled. You'll be the coolest kid out of school.” (12:16-12:31, both, tongue in cheek)
- Jason: Brings it back—no shortcut, just be yourself. “There's no trick. You can read the Cosmopolitan magazines...it's all a bunch of nonsense. Just fucking—If you like the girl, you say, ‘Hey, I was thinking about going, seeing this movie. Would you like to go see it with me?’” (07:50)
- Supportive Messages: Encouragement about rejection—everyone gets told no, just move on, and it's normal. (08:59, Jason)
- Axe Body Spray Advice: “Make sure you put tons of Axe body spray on, tons.” (15:14, Jason)
Travis: “Load it up. Go under the shirt, too. Fresh maker, just in case.” (15:19)
Notable Exchanges
- Travis (on advice books): “You can read the Cosmopolitan magazines...and it’s all a bunch of nonsense.” (07:50)
- Jason (re: authenticity): “Who you are is good enough, bud.” (08:36)
- Both: Urge the kid to call back and update them.
3. Revoking Man Cards: Can Men Sit Down to Pee? (12:45-14:35)
Caller: Is sitting down to pee enough to “revoke your man card?”
- Jason: “As long as they still have some balls, I think they still get the man card.” (12:57)
- Both: Strong consensus that there’s nothing unmanly about it—sometimes you’re tired, want to sit, or want to avoid making noise in the night.
- Relatable Dad Story: Jason references their dad relaxing in the bathroom while the kids were young—"Dad would read the entire Clancy magazine." (14:22)
- Tone: Supportive and anti-“man card” policing.
- “There’s nothing unmanly about taking the old sit.” (14:02, Travis)
- Conclusion: Revoking man cards is silly; everyone does what’s comfortable. (14:35)
