- We’ve finally done it. We’ve come up with the single most ambitious business idea of all time. We want to tell you about it, but you’re gonna have to listen to the full episode, because conceptually it cannot be contained in this description. Also for real, we’ll know if you show up at the Container Store after you’ve listened. Don’t do it.
Suggested talking points: Submitted for the Approval of the Gary Society, Chat GPT Made That Squirrel, We're PLURs, not WHDDs, Sauce on Six, Staind-Brand Earplugs to Block Out Trapt Music

I love how they inadvertently brainstormed the greatest dungeon crawl for a ttrpg ever. Tomb of Horrors? Don’t know her, all I know is Plato’s Rave Cave
I'm SO glad I wasn't the only one thinking "I'm listening to them design their next tower of terror for TAZ" 🤣
I was thinking the same thing! “I’d love an episode of TAZ at Plato’s Rave”
I could imagine the container store being managed by Cenobite like beings. A crucible of extreme terror and delight.
They have a max fun bonus episode where they turn this into an RPG adventure and another bonus episode where all 3 of them gm Plato's Rave for their dad
My favorite thing about this episode is that they TRULY get lost in the bit. I love the war with grandpa ep, but part of the gag with that one was purposefully stretching the discussion as long as possible. This one it seems like they genuinely didnt realize how long they were talking about it until like 50 minutes in
Lost in the (wing) sauce
Griffin’s shock at the end when he realizes it started out as a wikihow
This captures the beauty of TAZ Balance… when none of them knows where it’s going, but they’re all along for the ride.
😅

I like how their idea of a rave business sounds like the stages of hell in Dante’s Inferno.

Amazing
Thank you!
I started this episode and thought "huh, the vibes are a bit weird on this one" and only remembered the Tumblr post about how this was the wildest episode they'd ever recorded when the jarring ad break 15 minutes in happened, and the proceeding episode is now one of my favorite things y'all have ever done.
I’ve never wanted a Mbmbam animatic of an entire episode more in MY LIFE. Please animators, destiny is calling?!?
We need all hands on deck for this one
It has to be at least 5 minutes long to do it justice
They need to do it like the Balance animation, and have everybody send in a short snippet to create a monsterpiece
I was on a long, winding drive through the forest while I listened to this episode and y'all, it was the most surreal experience of my life.
The way they described Plato’s Rave as a rabit hole going from a Container Store to a level 10 rave sounds like a MeowWolf installation 😂
"photography is a layer of art on top of the real thing" HEY JUICE??? THAT BANGS ACTUALLY
This episode introducing the concept of an affiliation of record-keeping rave bodhisattvas is certainly something.
I know my next DnD character😭
@@spilledink849 thank you for inspiring my first dm-ing experience. i am going to dm a plato's rave oneshot or campaign depending on how long it'll take.
“Rave Bodhisattva” is officially the sickest shit I’ve ever heard.

@@chriscrowe11god tier
been a while since we had a full episode of 'war with grandpa'-style delirium! extremely pumped for this rave cave
The journey starts @ 21:00 btw for anyone needs that timestamp
Thank you! I was looking for the timestamp
Bless you
Life. SAVER. I'm stoned as fuck and I KNEW that listening to this bit in this state would just absolutely fuck me up and I was CORRECT
It's like an escape room but in reverse where you're trying to get more and more trapped. Big backrooms vibes, I'd do this in a heartbeat
Travis said this was perhaps the weirdest mbmbam ever recorded. He’s not wrong
This is Tom and Jean-Ralphio planning their next e720 joint
god forget being changed by the end of plato's rave, im a changed person at the end of This Episode holy fuck
I like how, just given these fellows' combined personalities, the best way they can conceptualize someone's ideal experience of going to a rave is by making it a complicated real-life video game 😭
A good old fashioned fever dream of a podcast. I Love it!!! 😂
Anybody else have issues with the audio cutting out from around 53:43 to 54:02? It goes for a couple seconds, comes back, and then is completely silent for about 10 seconds
yeah same problem here
Thanks. I thought I was finally cracking up.
I somehow convinced myself it was part of the bit.
I think it is part of the bit
I think they said some things about the submersible incident they wanted to censor lol
This was so wonderful! The whole time I was physically grading students papers, I was mentally struggling my way through a container store adjacent, Buffalo wild wings related rave dungeon and the time just flew by
the boys inadvertently reinventing the backrooms
i would’ve bet my dads soul that travis would be the one to come up with platos rave. but alas
Well... To hell he goes, I guess...
I'm so sorry about your dad
You can always rely on Griffin to identify a rich vein and say, "This is all I wanna talk about now."
Sometimes I dream about the “ya know?” “*laughing exhale--*” “sorry” “ya know?” “*laughing exhale--*” “sorry”
*Money Zone* 15:33
I have never had the urge to talk about an episode before with people… I was listening as a podcast came here just to see what people were saying. That said… the idea of a fan animator listening to the rave part like “yes! This is so funny and visual it’ll make a fun short cute animatic!” The segment just keeps going…. And going… and it just reaches this untenable, prestige drama length. The animators are like, “oh no… I… I can’t do this…” 😂
It's like a squid game TV show by this point. At least 10 full length episodes
Haha, same! I’m behind and just listened. Now I’m praying for more stream of consciousness episodes.
The archivist is the final save point where you can meet and recruit all the friends you made along the way, and check your completion percentage and achievements.
I can't explain but the idea of being down for a rave and exhausted by the idea of going to a club entirely resonates with me
Congratulations on a new level of unhinged ❤🎉❤
If the McElboys don't win every podcast award for this one, then I dunno what to think.
I visited a MeowWolf installation for the 1st time this weekend…and honestly, it wasn’t too far from what the boys dreamed up in this episode (no wings or pressurized chambers to be fair)
When I was listening to the episode the first think I thought of was some sort of hybrid between a MeowWolf installation and the electric daisy carnival
Can't wait for y'all's breakout DJ career tour entitled The McElroy Brother's Present: Plato's Rave
The logistics are a nightmare, but if they were able to even do a handful of levels, I'd book my vacation time two years in advance for a McElroy-produced festival.
I listened to this episode stuck in traffic on a drive home from college, and I think that was the single most entertaining drive across Colorado I think I have ever had, and that include the many times I've listened to Death Blart on that same drive.
If we don’t get a video clip of griffin screaming YOU’RE GETTING CLO- YOU’RE THERE!! WELCOME!! around 39 minutes I’ll riot thank u
i think its fair to say the wizard of the cloud is a successful replacement for yahoo answers
The amount of like, ammunition it would take to cause these boys to _forget the moneyzone_
I cannot eait
Did it deliver on your expectations post-moneyzone?
What a disconcerting edit (editing mistake?) at 15:30 to 15:45
That's the shadows on the wall of Plato's Rave.
@@elpegasoJesus Christ, why are there so many amazing quotes in these comments??
this oughta be good
You were so correct
This induced a new anxiety nightmare in me, that while trying to navigate the locks of the rave canal I somehow get my vibe going the wrong way and form a blockage, a human Ever Given, trapping people at unsustainably high levels of rave.
This sounds like they just invented a new Meow Wolf venture, Omega Mart, Convergence Station, & House of Eternal Return has got nothing on Plato's Rave
Plato’s rave is going to be the next steelechase arc
This is one of the all-time great episodes.
this episode had me unable to breathe on my bike yesterday. just crying laughing
Listening to this episode sick with shingles trying to fall asleep at 4am was an EXPERIENCE
This needs to be the next TAZ spin off
my first rave I showed up to the warehouse on 5 hits of acid, and I had the 10 dollars to pay to get in, but I just asked someone in front of the door for some glow sticks and walked in dancing. I pretty much didn't stop dancing till it was shut down by the cops at like 3 am. then we went back to the house for an afterparty.
also mdma has been used in therapy for ptsd. it helps them talk about the traumatic event without being triggered, so they can work through it
Not to mention that I've DEFINITELY seen people deliberately taking deep dives into their psyches using MDMA at festivals. Would not recommend, but hey, that's their call 😅
I don't know, all I'm hearing is another reason to go to the container store.
I'm 15 minutes in this is so strange lmao, an extended visual bit, sudden moneyzone, the chaos
This feels so close to infinity train but at the same time the complete opposite of it
I want platos rave to at least be a 1 off TAZ
It's this year's Maxfundrive episode, the MBMBAM one being them making the game, and the TAZ one is them making Clint play it, as it's a one player game that somehow has 3 GMs
you’ve no idea how glad i was when they dropped the ai discussion after 3 minutes.
The northern cardinal, the most common official US state bird, was first adopted by the state of Kentucky as their symbolic bird in 1926, specifically by a resolution of the Senate of Kentucky. Source Google. Im from west ginny too boys but we lost this one before the war started.
We still have bears and mothman though.
This episode was life changing
After this episode I just have ‘Better Off Alone’ stuck in my head over and over.
I’m picturing that room one, the actual container store, has it playing like Muzak overhead.
sauce on six guys, sauce on six
Right off the bat Griffin saying "But these are squirrels." I've never agreed with him more.
This felt like an episode of CoolGames Inc.
How do you make your best episode over 600 episodes in
Don’t put down Geert Weggen! He’s an amazing photographer of REAL squirrels!
Why does the rave sound like a season of Alice on Boarderlands?
Truly the wildest episode I've listened to thus far
Pretty sure the boys invented their own cooky religion this episode: rave-ontology
I love it when the boys play D&D
You guys just invented Omega Mart in Vegas!
i cant believe a podcast can on episode 674 come up with the best idea in its whole run, its inspiring
I really want someone to make a short film about a guy who wants to gut layer 10 of plato's rave
I'm so tempted to listen to this for a third time
boys I don't know what this was but I do know that I enjoyed it, well done
I can not believe this was 10 months ago holy cow, it feels like weeks.
I've been so busy with work lately that I've been putting new episodes on to sleep-I had no idea I'd missed anything special until someone mentioned it recently. My god.
Is this the most diabolical Escape Room ever?
no lie, they really cooked here. I'd love to go to Plato's Rave lol
Instantly an all-time great episode.
Damn good bit in this one lmao
This is the centaur war all over again
CLEARLY, D-Devils, famous for their rave hit “The 6th Gate”, in which they count up through the gates before the drop, need to make a NEW hit for Plato’s Rave that goes all the way up through Door 10. An exclusive track for Plato’s Rave.
...some audio issues at 53:00 to 54:00 minutes roughly?
LETS GO I WAS JUST WATCHING ANOTHER EPISODE
litteraly same; limp bizkit skank boy
Griffin has never been more incorrect than he is about Eyes Wide Shut. That movie slaps.
This is gonna show up in the adventure zone, isn't it?
I know they said Plato but this is somewhere between Dante's Inferno and Wonderland
I love the utter and true madness this episode was! Truly and comfortable off the rails! 😂
When they started talking about raves, and how there's no sitting room and only super crazy vibes you can't escape, I thought back to the one rave I have ever been to, and several electronic music festivals. There's a large space to chill out, with low music and comfortable sitting, to relax in between periods of crazy dancing (or if that's simply more your jam). Raves are not 0 to 100 all the time, in my very limited experience.
Still doesn't hold a candle to Plato's Rave, to be fair.
My high school had a tradition of seniors getting to party in the school before graduation. We had a bouncy castle, Guitar Hero, and a rave in the girl's bathroom, which was small, weird, and crowded. It was indeed...Platos Rave.
He'll get you next time, Inspector Gadget!
"Not yet." - Brennan Lee Mulligan
I really think Plato's Rave would make a really good Netflix's Alice in Borderland -esque 8 episode show
you are right
This was so feckin funny
I imagine the candy king in 10 is just keeping the whole place running like the spider demon in Spirited Away.
best ep of 23, hands down
Deeper than words
Best episode in a long time.
Everhood 2 sounding incredible.
I love the idea that squirrels have cloaca.
How is there no animatics anywhere of the Plato's Rave section?? Seems like it'd be perfect for that! (if I had any drawing skill at all I'd be all over it!)
MeowWolf Presents:
Dante’s Disco Inferno
Man I love the boys but when it comes to raves they're so far off base they're not even in the ballpark. Raves are fun as fuck, it's wild to feel the energy of the crowd sync up with the music and the majority of the people who attend are super chill.
It's been years since I've gone to one but damn I really miss it.
We need an Iceberg or Galaxy Brain chart for Plato's Rave.
was this drugs? did I just do drugs?
Am I the only one here wondering if the wonderful string of audio that beings at 15:33 doesn't contain a bit of repeated sound? Griffin and Justin seem to make the exact same two noise/comment combos twice in a row.
35:46 - Introduction of The Ten Layers
this was an extremely normal podcast episode.
Does anybody know what a container store is
28:55 Same, Justin, same. Just too afraid to pop and neglect to stop.
