Absolutely insufferable guest on The Flop House Travis was a low point.

(I don't especially mind Travis but he was like nails on a chalk board on that podcast)

Same on Blank Check. I’m convinced he’s the reason the McElroys haven’t been back on there at all.

Edit: whoops forgot Justin was on Monkeybone. They are definitely not having Travis back though

It was intentional revenge for all the "long irritating songs like this one" ads MBMBAM listeners had to sit through.

Travis was pretty good as a guest on Hello From the Magic tavern. That plus monster factory being great is what made me give MBMBAM a shot in the first place.

I will concede that Elliott Kalan is possibly the most acquired taste in all of podcasting. The last episode I listened to was him doing a Tom Brokaw impression pitching a Dune musical based on fiddler on the roof for half an hour.

I adore Elliott and the Brokaw-Dune bit is my favorite bit the Flophouse does.

I also loved how Justin got to do a Scooby Doo movie when he was on the Flophouse because he happened to be watching it with his kids when he got the text asking him to be on the show.

I could see that being either amazing or a convincing argument for shooting someone into the sun for the betterment of humanity; and the face that coin would fall on would almost entirely be based on my mood at the second I pressed play.

This reminds me of the Cat on a Hot Tintin Roof bit from the Foodfight! episode, which remains one of the single funniest things I have ever heard

Travis is definitely the McElroy that came out of the same vat as the latter two, not Griffin

Dr. Gameshow. I like the concept of the show, but the ad read is so stilted and awkward I could never bring myself to listen.
