Bet y'all forgot we talked about anything else in the Plato's Rave episode, huh?
From My Brother, My Brother and Me Episode 674: Plato’s Rave:

[@adamhester7294]

Uhh hey guys... I'm the question asker here. I feel the need to clarify that I wrote them this email when I was about an hour deep in an edible and literally forgot that I'd sent it until I listened to this episode a couple weeks later.

[@mattgoo]

god i hope this is true

[@jord.an6123]

I hope you went for the obvious solution the boys missed: Buy a whole bunch of expensive looking big camera equipment and leave it visibly poking towards the squirrels, out your own window. Give it a week and they'll be knocking on YOUR door asking to see YOUR squirrel pics. Make this squirrel perv come to YOU!

[@jord.an6123]

Alternatively: If you cannot get a hold of camera equipment - you may use a scoped long-rifle instead. If using this alternate method - The tenor of the conversation with the squirrel-watcher will be different... But after some hasty explaining, the outcome should be the same

[@thee-chiimera]

Did you ever see the squirrels?

[@delgumpi]

so what i'm hearing is there's a full video recording of plato's rave that you guys are holding hostage

[@jupiterliam7961]

I would pay money for it. and by that I mean I would contribute to the next max fun drive if it were bonus content

[@JasonLihani]

I've been a supporter since 2016 and haven't cracked open the BoCo until last night, specially for Platos Rave. I just listened to the setup episode and I'm about to go into the actual TAZ episode.

[@hoardlydad]

@@JasonLihani oh my dude, there's so much good McElroy BoCo. Just their shit alone is gold. I'm jealous of your virgin ears. Wait until you enter the Charlieverse...

[@supersnej]

Whats crazy is that this is not the most insane or tangential conversation they had this episode… like at all

[@jupiterliam7961]

oh my god this is the plato's rave episode isn't it

[@mayvalley]

@@jupiterliam7961sure is!

[@carsonbutch8386]

im still so stressed about this person not having the mental capability to figure out their neighbor's address

[@brody2k]

I'm picturing it being an apartment block or something. Surely if it were any form of standalone building they'd be fine, gotta be an apartment or units or something.

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

@@brody2kThey specified it was a house though, and that the question asker lives in an apartment.

[@adamhester7294]

Question asker here... the layout of my former apartment community and the nearby neighborhood are actually quite confusing, which wasn't helped much by the fact that I wrote this question about an hour after eating a rather strong thc edible

[@brody2k]

@@adamhester7294 Ha! Nice. I have to know, did you ever get the Squirrel Pics?

[@ughh3968]

@@adamhester7294 oh please please please tell us you got the pics

[@theheathen42]

shout out to the editing once again because that layering of squirrel pics to each command of, "Griffin look!" took me *out*

[@courtneykowalke9856]

A relic from the pre-Plato's Rave era. The world was a simpler, less-interesting place then.

[@kittybunny231]

is it technically pre-platos rave if it's in the episode from it (I just listened to that episode)

[@gulliblepenguin7049]

I've been thinking about Plato's Rave ever since I heard thr episode

[@courtneykowalke9856]

[@Levacque]

​@@gulliblepenguin7049I've been regularly thinking "sauce on six" to myself context-free. I cannot escape the Rave even though I've never set foot inside the container store.

[@gulliblepenguin7049]

@Levacque same here, and yet I can envision it so clearly

[@Roccobear]

Justin was not deceived by AI, those are in fact photos from a man named Geert Weggen who is a photographer specifically of squirrels he has BTS videos on his Instagram. Now Geert does use AI to generate random images he posts on his account occasionally but they are much different than his photos.

[@RyanTLane]

as a squirrel photographer this felt too personal.

[@aspengolden9577]

Genuinely did forget that there was anything else in the Plato's Rave episode

[@MsDianagentaToYou]

I had forgotten they actually had a question this episode

[@PlankOfWoodInc]

the squirrel romance cover is giving chuck tingle, whose book justin once narrated if you look up "slammed in the b*tt by my handsome laundry detergent pod"

[@maz.s]

I think that you are allowed to say the word butt in a KZbin comment

[@redtaileddolphin1875]

@@maz.sI’d say the asterisk was in the title but chuck don’t censor like that lol

[@MrKelsomatic]

As a photographer, Justin immediately defending the art of photography was heartwarming 😅

[@notthat8163]

I can’t believe it’s taken this long to get to this video segment. Also it tells me that there is absolutely video out there of Plato’s rave.

[@partlyironic]

this is the most I have ever related to griffin. the exception to this rule is the squirrel that appeared on the Great British Bake Off that had huge balls.

[@joaocreature]

My immediate thought was of that cool balls out squirrel!

[@awbeans982]

For me hot grapes is the moment, but this one is pretty relatable too

[@foxgender]

you can always tell when travis is gonna get invested in a topic when he adjusts his seating position

[@forestelforesto2897]

The first time I heard “I hope it turns me into a battery” I laughed so much on my walk to get my mail that I tripped

[@NunDePlume]

During the show they should reference the KZbin channel more often for heavily visual bits like these so people can remember to come here. They usually only say it during times when people (unfortunately) skip part of the show like the money zone and the ending. Side note: if you’re doing that, the money zone is sometimes the funniest part of the show.

[@iOysterZ]

like how could you skip garfield the deals warlock?? or how babble encourages you to defy god

[@IndelibleAndy]

"Squirrel Van Damme" got me.

[@tomatoheadedmonkey6741]

society needs the full plato’s rave video brothers, we need it

[@CrunchyCrumbles]

been waiting for many moons to see these special squirrel pics

[@madeleinesherer7615]

"if they go too far......turn them off"

[@JustinMcDaniel]

I... fucking laughed so hard at the sincerity in which he said it.

[@willowbowkett6994]

My favourite part is that Griffin did a wonderful! segment on squirrels two years earlier (episode 184). He really does like those little guys. Just not, I guess, photos of them

[@iOysterZ]

184 cannot be just two years ago

[@onescenewonder8904]

Ive never heard this bit without the double audio of Griffin 's laugh!

[@januarymilk9347]

This solidly reminded me these boys are indeed American in Europe seeing an apartment/house behind yours and assuming you can find it easily is not a given they are not guaranteed in the same DIMENSION as you the way these streets work

[@omagakii524]

"cloaca" NO. THOSE ARE HIS BALLS!!!!!

[@ThatOneIrishFurry]

So thats why i have such vivid memories of this question It was during the platos rave episode i listened too while half asleep sick to death with shingles I was practically dreaming this episode But hey credit to the brothers this episode holds a special place in my heart because it gave me the only good night of sleep i ever got while i was recovering from shingles

[@nickmoore8145]

[@nickmoore8145]

"+cloaca"

[@Nono-hk3is]

Squirrels do not have cloacas

[@GoetiaTV]

The problem with using the off switch is that the squirrel photos would go away 😢

[@LorNrocks]

Literally when I clicked on this I saw one of the squirrels that comes into my yard a lot hanging off a bush, eating leaves. Kismet.

[@pindebraende]

the detail that Travis is wearing a Powerline t-shirt

[@winddancer613]

The realization that Travis was wearing a Powerline shirt for the entire Plato’s Rage episode has me cracking up

[@thebadpoet]

I had a photography professor in college who said he would automatically fail anyone who turned in a photo of “ an empty park bench, a homeless person, or a squirrel.” The park bench is cliche, the homeless person is both deserving of dignity and privacy and also might get into an argument with you if you take pictures of them, and squirrels are just too ubiquitous and trite. Griffin would get along with my photography professor.

[@asiancarrie]

I wish Justin had found Nancy Rose's squirrel photos, she puts food in little sets that she leaves outside and gets some really cute shots.

[@notthat8163]

Wait, what was it?? I missed it!

[@katjoe1974]

@@neilnullthe 10 word answers reference, when in the debate with Richie Bartlet says “There it is. That’s the ten-word answer my staff’s been looking for for two weeks. There it is. Ten-word answers can kill you in political campaigns. They’re the tip of the sword. Here’s my question: What are the next ten words of your answer? Your taxes are too high? So are mine. Give me the next ten words. How are we gonna do it? Give me ten after that, I’ll drop out of the race right now. Every once in a while... every once in a while, there’s a day with an absolute right and an absolute wrong, but those days almost always include body counts. Other than that, there aren’t very many unnuanced moments in leading a country that’s way too big for ten words.”

​​@@katjoe1974Ah, thank you! Turns out it's at 1:35, for anyone else who totally missed it.

[@mskal23]

@@neilnull When Justin said "show me the next 10 squirrel pictures, I'll drop out of the race right now" it's almost verbatim from the debate episode in S04. Kinda wild lol

[@fjr4205]

My dog was flipping his lid earlier and I went to see - there was a squirrel eating an eggroll on our deck. This isn't even the first time we've had this happen. Griffin is right

[@smalliesxd]

I remember when I listened to this episode I looked up “squirrel in a pot” so I could see the picture they were looking at… DON’T LOOK THAT UP it was all pictures of squirrels in a cooking pot and it made me really sad 😢

[@lmayliffe]

The West Wing reference was so choice.
