Justin and Griffin have such a different energy when they're not with Clint or Travis. If they weren't good boys, they'd be getting into a lot of trouble together.

They tend to have a more playful dynamic because they've worked together in video games journalism for over a decade.

I wonder how much of it is “oldest sibling + youngest sibling” dynamic vs “oldest sibling + middle sibling” and “middle sibling + youngest sibling”.

Like this is entirely unscientific, but in my experience all the adult sibling pairs I know with big age gaps/that come from families with more than two kids, get along way better than they do with their middles/siblings much closer in age to them. Both my mom and my dad have had that sort of relationship with their siblings.

My older brother is 4 years ahead, my younger brother is just a year and a half. I got along with my younger brother a lot better, as a data point.

I remember reading a book of riddles as a kid that was full of things like this, where you would have no way of guessing the right answer unless you had information that wasn't included in the actual riddle.

A whole week late, but I also had a couple of these. The ones I had were more like “read with me” books for slightly older kids—basically, each riddle was a game of 20 questions to teach kids deductive reasoning.

If he had seen the sawdust, he would still be alive. Why?

The person in question was a professional dwarf in a circus side show who was also blind. One of his coworkers was playing a prank on him by shaving down the end of his cane every day to make him think he was growing taller and would soon lose his job in the sideshow. In despair, he took his own life.

Hey Riddle Riddle does stuff like that, and maybe even that exact one, a lot. They're called "stories with holes" and everybody hates them.

Growing up we had a “board” game (no actual board was involved) that was essentially a “stories with holes” detective game where one person actually had more background and you could ask them yes/no questions to figure out the full story. I couldn’t imagine “playing” that without the additional information.

Yeah, at some point it seems this kind of thought exercise got separated from the "yes or no questions" part so it turned into some impossible task. They really don't work if no one knows the answer.

I had a similar, if not the exact same, thing. A box of square cards that had "rules for play" but was otherwise not a game at all. All with lovely stories about Sid Shady and detective Shadow. I think it was called Mind Trap and a friend and I would torture each other with it when we ran out of things to do hanging out.

Jesus Christ. Tap out at the money zone this week. The munch squad has potential, but the brothers positions are awful, "the two options are it's either tuna, or the guy suing subway set up a fake lab to say it's not tuna"

Then Justin just plays the audio for the mighty ducks and shills the show. No jokes. Griffin calls him on it, but it still sucked

I actually liked everything after the money zone much better than the stuff before, but I listened to the different halves at different times of the day so I was possibly just in A Mood. Subjectivity!

Maybe I was just happy to have a munch squad that wasn't just repeating adjectives from a press release for a new cheeto flavored slurpee or whatever.

I was hyped for at least a new angle on the munch squad, but when he just started reading their entire press release defense anyway I just gave up. It was so long and not funny.

What on earth was Justin even trying to do with that Mighty Ducks thing? Like there was nothing even unusual or weird or funny about the trailer it was just a very typical boring trailer for a mediocre-sounding movie sequel.

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





I think he was going for a "big reveal" gag, that the trailer was for a Mighty Ducks reboot, but, also, that's not that funny even if it had landed, and it mathematically opposite of landed
