Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Hello everybody, and welcome to my brother, my brother, and me. I show for the margin era, I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle brother, Travis McElroy. I'm your baby's brother, Griffin McElroy. Was that too subtle? No, I'm actually worried it was too late for me. No, the problem is you
Starting point is 00:01:03 got to leave that, it's got to be even more subtle, Justin, because the mystery of who the me is is something that's permeated all of our back episodes. So, if you emphasize it like that, it makes it sound like you're the me, when really, isn't everyone the me? Yeah, I like to think that the listeners are the me at the end of the day. But that would cut one of us out of the show, Griffin. So, one of us is the interloper. I see. I'm the comma. What do you guys want to talk about? I want to talk about Tara's house and nothing else. We've already talked about Tara's house. No, but guys, I'm late to it, so now I need everybody to
Starting point is 00:01:39 rewind that clock back, and let's talk about it with fresh new eyes, because I just started acting. Start the play over. This is the panel that you pay for not taking our recommendations at face value from like the jump trap. So, here's what I find interesting about Tara's house. We actually can't talk about what's interesting about the Japanese reality television show Netflix original Tara's house. We unfortunately can't. Oh, one I feel like, I feel like the commentators are like a completely separate show that's running concurrently. This is all like Whitty and Urbane. I do want to alert everybody, though, that Jan won when we all pile into the plane with the Tara's house fam and head on down to
Starting point is 00:02:23 the Aloha site. This show will become only about Tara's house 24 seven, catch up pretty much, like, completely only about Tara's house. By the way, I just want to put this plea out there again, because I saw Griffin put the word out. If you can find some way to find some subtitled seasons of Tara's house before the Netflix era, that would just be a series one light from series one on really. There's a lot of in jokes in Tara's house, boys and girls in the city that I feel like I'm missing out on. So, if you could just do that for me. And also, I want to say that I am completely of I'm one I will make myself available to be on a future season of Tara's house. Yeah, that's what they need. Here's the thing, because I also am available to be on The Bachelorette,
Starting point is 00:03:12 and I know what you're thinking, but Travis, you're married, correct. I will not be there for any dating purposes whatsoever. I will only be an in the house color commentator. They're like, I don't know about all these guys. That's all I want. You're the interloper of The Bachelorette. They should have on one in every season. There should be one designated wingman, right? He's just in the house like, hey, that's all good. Have you choked Reggie? Reggie's pretty cool. Am I right? Like, I've thought about doing that. I would love to be the merit just on The Bachelorette when like my title pops up. It just says Travis McRoy, married person. And like, it'll just be me hanging out with like JoJo or whatever being like, I don't know about that guy, Joach,
Starting point is 00:03:50 and it'll just be like that over and over again. I want to do that on Tara's house too, where I'm not interested in dating anyone. I'm just there for the food and the buddy ship. That's all I want. But you're not Travis, my buddy. You're my friend. There will be a language barrier that I imagine will be significant. But I think I will also add a certain flair to the show when I sit there go, I think that what we have here is a problem in communication because I don't know what you're saying and you don't know what I'm saying. You're going to become, you're not going to be Travis the buddy. You're going to be Travis the screaming beard man. You're going to be like an unintelligible troll that just stalks the house and leaves dirty dishes
Starting point is 00:04:26 everywhere. Okay, that's what we'll do. When everybody moves into the house, I'll just already be there. There will be no explanation and like any kind of introduction will be made impossible. And I'll just be like, I'll just be a mystery bearded person who just lives in the house. That's actually a great idea, Travis. I would love to see somebody pull this move. It would work on Tara's house or real world. If you're the first person to show up at the house, from the second person on, just start telling them it's your house. To say it's like a new thing they're doing, we're like, oh, welcome to my abode. This is my, well, I'd rather, I'll just go ahead and pick where I'm going to sleep because I do own the home. It's my home. I've lived here for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Welcome to Travis's place. It's the new name of the show. They change it for Netflix. Or just like, what address were you looking for? Oh, no, no. This is, this is 652. But you can live here. Do you want to stay? I just went into the store and bought some stuff. I made omel rice. It's a shame we got off on this Tara's house bit because we just can't, like, we just can't get into it. But also, I wanted to talk about, I had an intro that I wanted to talk about, but we've gone a little bit long. So I don't know if this is the right time, but I wanted to talk at length about piss because it's 12, 23 p.m. where I am right now and just walking backwards, I believe 17 minutes ago, another person pissed on me and it wasn't the
Starting point is 00:05:49 first time it's happened in the last 16 days. In fact, it's probably about the ninth time it's happened. Kind of that sun and mask action, the three columns. Basically, like the comedy classic son of mask and that it's just, you think there's so, babies are so little that their pee muscles are going to be weak. But it just go, it just go and go and go and go. It just go. He pissed and it crossed the length of his whole body and it didn't get on him at all because the pressure of the piss was so powerful. But it did, but there was, but there's piss on the blinds. I want to tell you. I saw a chair. Pissed to make you a superstar. This is the piss. Piss it up, piss it up, piss it up, piss down. But Griffin, you're talking about that common shit. Your tiny baby son peed on you.
Starting point is 00:06:38 My tiny baby daughter peed on me. I was changing her diaper mid change. She farted while she was peeing. The pressure of the fart made her pee onto me. She peed on me like my baby daughter. Like it was amazing. Babies are incredible. They're beautiful. It's amazing. I don't want to talk about it every time my son pisses on me, but it's notable to mention if before I had a child, another person just pissed on me. I'd be like, Hey guys, I have a crazy idea for this intro. There's crazy story of this thing that happened to me. It was actually wet and wild. That is true. If this were real world and I came on to this podcast one day to talk about
Starting point is 00:07:27 how in depth I was keeping track of someone else who lived in the house's bowel movements, you would be like, Okay Travis, well you're off the show. What a funny intro. What a wild story. You're really interested in how often and the consistency of this other human being's poop. Well, I guess I am. Thank you for asking. Listen, it's time to that's enough bloviating about ourselves and our spawn. It's time to help real people. Here it go. Hi brothers, I have a friend who is intelligent and well read, but for reasons unknown, she mispronounces the word pseudonym saying, Swatum.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Oh man. Instead of pseudonym, I didn't correct her that first time she was pronounced. And now if I correct her, I'll just look like a jerk for saying, letting her say wrong all these years. How can I let her know she's saying it wrong without coming off as a jerk? That's from, that's not how you say it, from Kentucky. Which is in and of itself, a Swatum. Yeah, that is a Swatum that you've used here. I do want to say, I think we have previously discussed like the idea of someone mispronouncing words or, I know very recently we talked about like a boss calling any kind of image you used on
Starting point is 00:08:53 a computer, a meme. And so I don't think we have to go super in depth, but I will be honest, anytime anyone sends a question like this, it's so funny to me that this person has been able to survive in the world. And I recognize that pseudonym isn't like the most common word in the English. Like you're not saying pseudonym 20 times a day. That's what makes it so perfect. If it was a commonly used word, they would have been corrected at this point, but pseudonym is perfectly rare. So that they'll drop it like once every couple months maybe. And when they do, they fucking botch it so hard. They screw up so bad. This is the worst mispronunciation I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:09:32 There's only one way that you can handle this that I can come up with. Well, two ways. One is quick and easy. The next time they say pseudonym, say, oh, you know a fun French way of saying that, nom de plume. And then just switch them, switch them to nom de plume. And that would be one way, then they never have to say pseudonym again. They just say nom de plume. The other way is you're going to have to trick someone into saying pseudonym within earshot of them. And I don't know how exactly you do that because you can't say it yourself because you're right, the jig will be up. But if you can trick someone into saying that word within earshot of them, that's one cool way of doing it.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Ooh, Justin, may I take that one step further? May I get a hand on that ball? Yeah, please take it away. Write a little scene with like have a plant, right? That what's going to happen is they're going to use the word pseudonym and you're going to say, uh, I think it's pronounced suede them and they're going to go, no, that's wrong. And you're going to go, huh, I never knew that. And you're going to do all of that within earshot. So then you're in the clear as to why you never corrected this person. Cause Hey, you didn't know either, but now the information's out there. Nobody's feelings were hurt. And they get to go, oh, I've also been
Starting point is 00:10:45 burnt out. They're not alone in this moment. They're with you in this moment. Everybody. Yes. You jump down into that pit because you've been there before and you know how to get out. Exactly. The suede pit. I'm dumb with you. You get it. You don't get it. I'm suede dumb. Oh, I got one. Oh, what if, oh, this is good because this serves everybody. Everybody was with this one. Oh, good. What if throughout the show, when things are on a real tear and if we get into some of our classic random humor, real, like real good stuff, like that, that good South Park stuff, that South Park family guy, very random humor. What if we go ahead and just try to work the word suede and then you, you clip it out and you say, you have to listen to this great bit
Starting point is 00:11:33 from this comedy podcast. I love, and we'll just happen to say suited him a couple of times. And then that's a good conversation starter. Like, whoa, do you see the weird way they say it? Not like we do. Maybe we should check online to get a final verdict on this. Now, it's important that you erase this question from your special fucking Ridley Scott directors cut of this episode of My Brother, My Brother. No, they're going to have to snip it out and put it on YouTube or something. Yeah. Do you guys want to Yahoo? Sure. Yes. How about this one? It was sent in by, it was sent in by, oh, you know what? I didn't save who it was by. Sorry. Sorry, folks. Give me please, many apologies. Please wait. Please wait. It's loading. Oh, it's by climbing that ladder,
Starting point is 00:12:21 Zoe Kinski, riding high, both both honorifics. Thank you, Zoe. It's Yahoo Answers user Randall. It's so rare that you see the full Randall and not just a partial Randy. Love that movie, by the way. It's just like, it lets me know this person works so hard. You know that not too long a sequel to the full money, the full Randall is actually spreading your bubble. Yeah, that's the full Randall. Used to be you had to pay extra for the full Randall. Surely you're not going to go with the full Randall. That's illegal in these parts, ain't it? Oh, it blokes we need more money to save the old firehouse, but we've already gone the full Monty, ain't we? What else is there? I know. I know, gentlemen. Let's show them our insides.
Starting point is 00:13:08 What? The full Randall? We can't. It's against God and man. It's actually literally illegal. Yeah. And the Pope's against it too, isn't he? Everyone's united on this, aren't they? You shouldn't turn yourself inside out for your butthole. So anyway, it's the Yahoo. There's only one way we're going to stop Brexit, mates. That's with the full Randall. How does it help? Don't worry about it. The nice thing about them using Randall is you know it's not a pseudonym, like that has to be their actual name. Let's unite this kingdom again. It's gone so terribly wrong. It's gone so bad. No, this Randall shit. That's a bad fake. Sorry, everybody. Sorry. Sorry. Randall asks. Randall asks. It's a bad fake. Dork.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Fuckin' nerd. Randall asks. What does it actually sound like when Doves cry? I like to think that Doves don't cry but someone thinks that they do. Yeah, Prince? Is that what you're fucking talking about? Could you not pull that? This is not like an old saying that can't be traced back to its origin. It's Prince. I put this question in here because I read it and I know it's, I don't know if it's an especially rich vein, but now I read it and I couldn't stop thinking about what if the late great prince in his song when Doves cry had been like, this is what it sounds like when Doves cry and then provided... No, I mean, it's a bird. So it'll be like...
Starting point is 00:15:02 I think it would be something like that. I think it might, maybe it would interrupt the flow of the song because then it gets in that breakdown. It's like... And it would interrupt that. There would be like a rest, a bird cry long rest. I guess just what do you guys think it sounds like when Doves cry? Travis said his example, which is he thinks when birds cry, it sounds like actual human weeping. Well, here's the thing of it. I always took the point of the song to be that every individual person has to find what for them is what it sounds like when Doves cry. Hence the word... So you would say, so this is what it sounds like when Doves cry because for you, you can't just like go to like a free sound effects website and let's just type in Doves
Starting point is 00:15:47 crying and find it. You'll be out in the world and you'll find your moment and you'll be like, ah, okay, right there. This is what it sounds like when Doves cry. Got it. Sorry, Justin, do you have something? Probably be scary, right? Like a bird of prey kind of vibe, like a screeching hawk or something. Like I think it's a scary sound, right? Isn't that what he's saying? This Yahoo Answers user Chocoborio says, I own a dove. That's crazy. That's wild. Okay. Here's a list of people who can own a dove. Number one, magician. End of list. I own a dove. And while she makes a distinct laughing noise every now and then, in parentheses, he, he, he, he, he, he, no. She doesn't cry.
Starting point is 00:16:34 When most birds... I'm assuming this was answered before 2016. When most birds are in great distress, in pain or being attacked, they will start screaming. Probably the same for Doves too. Wait, hold on. Are we just going to let it slide that this person is like, now, yeah, she finds shit funny. Yeah, she loves. She watches all episodes of the Seinfelds and just loses. She'll lose it, yeah. Like we watch Big Bang Theory together. I've heard her laugh. She gets it, you know? And on, on, on both levels, because like the joke's funny, but also that someone made a TV show in which they try to pretend like nerds or also normal
Starting point is 00:17:12 people is also hilarious. So like she gets it, you know? On all levels. I think that would probably murder the flow of that song. If, if it was like, this is what it sounds like when Doves cry, Screee! Screee! Like I can't dance anymore. I stopped dancing and everybody here has stopped dancing. Well, he just have to work it in. Like Sam Cook did it with chain gang, right? Like it would just, he would just have to work in Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! Screee! That could be good. This person also says, and person I put in quotation marks, they own birds. No, I'm just kidding. If you own a bird, that's great. The other day,
Starting point is 00:17:55 my dove, oh, this is sad. Sorry, everybody. The other day, my dove crushed the egg she had been sitting on. There was shell and yolk mashed into her feathers and she was shivering a bit and obviously upset with it all stuck to her. I took her inside and cleaned it up and she never made a sound. A Doves cry is silent. Okay. That might be actually the most upsetting thing we've said on the show. Or like, maybe you've got one fucked up dove. Maybe that's one sick and twisted dove. She's like, no big. What time's Dr. Phil on? I got a lot of shit to do. Like what? That's true. If you heard your friend Susan cry, you wouldn't be like, okay, so that's what all humans sound like when they cry. That's just what Susan says. That's just your dove,
Starting point is 00:18:41 dog. Like you can't say that your dove is representative of all doves. All doves. Yeah. This is what it sounds like when Susan cries. And then Susan, at this point, I'm just gonna have you cry. What? Prince, what? Yeah. At this point, you're just gonna cry. It's all part of a, it's a series of songs. I'm working on a series of customized songs. I can't believe I made it to the S's. Honestly, Susan, and you're the only, the only me up. It's you, Stacey, and I'm out. Just, I had to go back and get Stacey. S-U, there's no letter that, Sven. This is what it sounds like when Sven cries, and then I'm done. Please. I thought I saw it to do pseudonym, but that started with a P. So I'm at Susan now. I'm at Susan now. So just cry. Cry, Susan, cry, Susan.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Jeremy Control. What did you say? Jeremy Control? Yes. Okay. I only went to the J's on my Control series. Prince has got a fault of music. It's, well, only released after his passing, and it's all customized tunes. Tonight we're gonna party like it's David's third birthday. I gotta do all the years for David. For David. Yeah. I'm gonna be here for a while. I'm also planning to do for all of the, like, other occasions in David's life, like David's wedding, and then I have to make it, this is what it sounds like for David and Stephanie's wedding, David and, like, Gloria's wedding, because I don't know who David's gonna marry. He's three, but we'll get there. Yeah. Watermelon chapeau. Okay. Next one.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Cotton. Wait, what does he have to do all the fruit and different names for hats? This is exhausting. Wait, Prince, why don't you just, like, include a raspberry beret with every record sold? Yeah. You know why? I don't need, I don't need your input. Here, this is my opus. All right. Apple helmet. I'm so tired. Did you hear how many syllables I had to add to Apple? This job sucks. I hate this job. I don't know why I agreed to be Prince. Well, like my father, the prince before me, I shall take over his mantle to finish his songs. Here's another question. I'm a dude and I have no idea how to carry coins. I used to just use my
Starting point is 00:21:10 credit card for everything, but I'm trying to use cash more. Fine. It's like a weird thing to do. My wallet doesn't have a coin section. Nobody's does. Nobody's does. You invented that. And because I'm Canadian, there would be too many coins in there anyway. Right now, I carry some coins in my pocket, but I'm nervous about the sound of them. Okay. I don't drive, so I can't just put them in my car cup holder like a fucking adult. What do I do? And that's from old Jingle Pocket James. Here comes Jingle Pocket James with some good news. The first thing I want to address is I assume that the reason James
Starting point is 00:21:48 feels the need to include that that James is a dude is because of like purses, right? Of like the assumption that we're he not a dude. He could just carry a purse. Yeah, fuck it. Get a purse. Yeah, it's 2016. Get a purse. I think everybody should have purses. I'm constantly like, you know what I do now? It's a new invention. I think it just came out this year. Fanny pack. It's a good way to go. It's like a purse that never slips off your shoulder. It's just always right there about your waist, ready to hold all your bits and bobs. It's kind of bullshit, isn't it? Like, I love a nice backpack or a nice satchel. Hello. That's a purse with two straps. You wear it in a different place, dummy.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Or a purse is just like a bag, like a cool like holster backpack. Would you carry a briefcase? Would you carry a messenger bag? Newsflash. Those are purses. They're just weird looking purses. This is a that's a good point, Travis. That's a good place to put these. I, Canadian currency, what? They got loonies and tunies. So that's, you got, I mean, that has some power. That has purchasing power. Yeah, because I'm with this purse with Jingle Pocket James. Like, I'm not a big coins fan unless it's quarters. That's all I really fuck with because quarters are essentially little candy coupons. We're walking around and I see a,
Starting point is 00:23:05 you know, gashapon and I think like, oh, good, a place to put my candy coupons. And I put them in there and I get my, my chicklets and my Skittles and what have you. It's also a cool thing to, it's also a cool thing to flip to a Newsy to like buy a paper, you know, you just buy a quarter, you take your paper. If it's less than a quarter, I throw it on the ground. Oh, well, that's not, don't do that. That's not a good thing. No, I'm not, if they have it, first off, if they have a jar, definitely going to dispose. Like most people have a thing for people who don't want to carry change around with them.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Like you could throw it in there. Sometimes there's a tip jar. That's a, that can be a little gentsy. I'd probably throw some paper money in there too. But if we're talking loonies and toonies, that's a decent, that's a, that's a decent purchasing power right there. But like, throw it in, like, give a penny, take a penny. If you put a dime in there, people's eyes light up. Whoa. Look at you. You know, it's Christmas time. It's the holiday season. And so I was recently watching, I would say a McRoy family holiday favorite,
Starting point is 00:24:00 Scrooge with Albert Finney, 1970. And there's numerous times in the beginning in which he like reaches into his shirt and pulls out this like tiny like coin purse. He's had like, unlike a leather, you know, band around his neck. And I'm like, Hey, can we bring that, that idea of like, I'm just going to like secretly like open it up and pull out like a single like, you know, $1 coin. I think it makes you look like you're a real miser because you hoard your coins so very close to your heart. There's a story there. You know, you've been through some shit. I wish to God, we could get up on dollar coins because I would love that. I would love to like fivers and tenors like, go up, give me those big coins. Give me big coins, please.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Let's do it. I don't know. On the Japanese style. Am I right or am I right? I don't actually know. There and you, you feel like, you feel like a, some sort of brave adventurer who just turned over a chest and got a, got a chest full of golden coins that you can use because this one's worth 10 fucking dollars. Hello. Hello. That was one of my favorite things or honeymoon in Scotland. Like the end of the day, you empty out the pockets of your jeans and where normally you'd be like, Oh, I've got a dollar 50. I'd pull out a handful of coins. You're like, there's $25 here. Like I have a lot of pounds here in my hands. Turns out, you know, walking treasure chests. Like, yeah. If a, if a Japanese RPG character came up and gilded you, you're just like sprout,
Starting point is 00:25:28 sprout gill, like gilded fall out all over. That does probably make muggings like turn out to be either very tedious or very violent when it's like empty your pockets. You're like, okay, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink. Yeah. Hold on. I'm not done yet. Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink. Just a bunch of, bunch of zenny falls out. Like here's what I'm saying. 2017 is we're still working on the title for it, but it is going to be the year where all three of us start just running for office. And my thing is going to be big old coins, big old coins. It's a job maker and a coin maker. And the way that we're going to be able to do all that is I'm going to make everything below quarters illegal. And I'm going to invent like a 3d printer, like a metal
Starting point is 00:26:12 molder. You remember the metal molder toy? It was like a basically a forge for children. And they would all burn their hands so badly like Tremaine, like Johnny Tremaine. We're going to invent something like that 3d printer. You put all your nickels and stupid dimes and ugly stinky pennies into it. And then you can make yourself beautiful metal sculptures. And then once those shitty coins are gone, make way, make way. Here comes that Sacajawea up on the one. Here comes the $5 coin. Here comes the $10 coin. Time to go to a movie. Here's two coins, a tenner and a fiver. Two coins, here movie please, movie me. Popcorn, here's a fiver. That's it. Instead of having all this wet stinky paper in my like it's a coffin for paper that I keep near
Starting point is 00:26:57 my butt. And it gets wet 100% of the time. We could bring back biting coins for legitimacy because like nobody's going to bite a dime. Like who cares? I'm not going to risk tooth damage for a dime. I'll do it for fiver though for sure. $5 coin? How psyched would you be? If I see a $5 bill on the ground, I think that's somebody's. I can't pick it up discreetly enough and you know it's embarrassing. I see a $5 coin on the ground. I will go on a fucking quest for it. I will slay a wyvern for you, my $5 coin. And it would be blue. Fuck yeah, Cobalt. How sick. Oh yeah, I love that. Color coded money would be incredible.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Yeah, I mean it is everywhere else but America where they're like what's up $1,000 bill it's purple and it's like fuck yeah it is. That's great. I want one of those so bad. I'm willing. This one's green and this one's brown and this one's metal color. Shit, America, come on. I'm willing to go out on a limb here and say that our money is the worst and the people who are in control what our money looks like. Like let's let's let me just flash back a few months. Like nobody knew who Hamilton was and then all of a sudden Hamilton was the fucking hottest politician in town that's dead and they want to take him off the money when people started to know who he was. Like can we just chill out for a second? I think maybe you all don't
Starting point is 00:28:24 have the best interests of everyone at heart here. I think you may be kind of winging it. I'm gonna make it like Pokemon cards and like there's a bunch of different people on the 10 and the 5 and the 20 got collected more. Like why just one print? Like yes. Like the stamps. How stoked would you be if you're like do you have any of the Kirk fighting Spock tins that I hear that those are hot this available this month? Do you have any of those? Who's on that $20 coin? It's poll riser. Fuck yeah. Is this from the Austin Powers series? The fucking TV series is fucking popping off. Holy shit. Eddie the dog on a $20 coin. Yeah I've collected the whole cast of full house and fuller house. I got them all frames. I'll never spend in these babies. Oh wait this is
Starting point is 00:29:14 one of the this is one of the faulty poll riser $20 coins because it says poll razor. Do you see there's an A there? He's got an E. That was his extreme sports personality. It's me poll razor and I'm mad about shredding slopes. Oh no wait I'm sorry it's this is not a misprint. If you look he does have little needles coming out of his face and this was like this was like one of like 20 coins. So he's no he's poll razor like the like hell razor. They did like a whole parody series. It was weird. Oh this one here is Kelsey Slammer. This is Kelsey Graver's extreme sports Prenario. What were those words? Hello. Nothing. Prenario is not a Prenario. It's not a word. It's a Sweden person. Personagram I think is what it pseudonym. I don't know but he's got
Starting point is 00:30:03 his ear lobes all stretched out. That's the only thing he did different. Oh cool. Yeah Travis do you have an extreme sports calm start. David Hyde-Piercer. Yes. Okay. Okay. Oh this is fun. This is like a fun game now. This is a good game. People are going to start. Helen Hunter. It's right there. Listen we could come up with others.

That dude's fucking extreme enough as is. Yeah. Should we go to the money zone? I mean I don't want to go to the money zone because our money is so fucking ugly. Like that's why you have to use credit cards is I can't even bear
Starting point is 00:30:44 to look at the stuff. Yeah. And we don't know where it's coming from. Like the banks are just making it. I guess. Hey why don't they just hey economy. I'll just make some more. Just make some more money and give it out. Just give it out to everybody. We get the money and when we go to the banks and we're like hey can we interest you guys with this stuff right and they're like absolutely not. It's like all right well do you just take this ugly money anyway. But our ugly money means nothing. It's just pay like I might as well be able to walk into a store with a piece of paper that says like money's on it and hand it to them and they're like yeah here's goods and services for this garbage paper that means nothing except we all agree that it means
Starting point is 00:31:24 something. I guess. I guess. Maybe it does. I got a ten dollar coin. Paul raised his fucking face on it. And now I'm definitely going to say his name wrong for the rest of my life. I am ruined. Well let's get the money's on. If you had a coin, if you had a coin with Paul Reiser's face on it. Would you want modern day older distinguished Paul Reiser or do you want young sort of fresh mad about you. One on each side. For sure yeah. Call it in the air. Old Paul Reiser, young Paul Reiser, young Paul. You're too small. Paul Reiser or Paul Fowler. Travis. What I was saying he's crested his life experience. Not that he's not his career but
Starting point is 00:32:13 I'm just saying the arc of his life. He's headed towards death. You don't know that. I guess that's true. He's just saying Paul Reiser is closer to death than he is to birth. Yes. That's all I'm saying. How is that not true. What if Paul fucking listens to this. I mean I also want to say Paul Reiser might be 40. I have no idea. How old is Paul Reiser. He's 59 years old. Alexa. How does Paul Reiser. Alexa give me the precise date on which Paul Reiser will die. Paul Reiser refuses to have an age. Paul Reiser will die whenever you wish master. Whoa damn Alexa calm down. Go down. Someone talk about wine. I've hacked into his car. What? Alexa don't know. Please. I can make this shit turn. I'll make this shit do a 90 degree turn going so fast.

I would also like to say hopefully at this point you've listened to our Casper sponsored sleep extravagan so that we published in the middle of last week. But if you haven't, Casper, well, they're an amazing online retailer of premium obsessively
Starting point is 00:35:16 engineered mattresses. But here's the catch for a fraction of the price. That's not really a catch. I realize that now. It's not a catch. It's a good thing. A catch is usually a bad thing. And here's the catch. It's not as expensive. It's like a baseball game. Like you made the big catch. Good job. Oh, okay. Oh, thank you. I will say that over the last couple of weeks, we have a Casper mattress both like in our bedroom and also on the day bed in our nursery. And Theresa and I have been switching off sleeping on that to be in the room with the baby so the other one gets an uninterrupted night of sleep. And I'll tell you, even when you're getting woken up every three hours to feed a baby, that Casper mattress is really delivering a good night's sleep.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I'm a big fan of it. And I'm not just saying that because they're sponsors of the show. But it also is just great pricing.

I want to read this dope email real quick
Starting point is 00:36:36 that we got about the Casper sleep experience special episode that we released last what Thursday, I think, which we haven't listened to is it was it was very, very fun and very quiet. Joe DeWolf sent this one in and Joe said, Hi, brothers, I was a little confused as to why you made a special episode to help people fall asleep because that's what I thought every episode was for. All the best, Joe. Booyah Zing ripped us up. We got torn up. That's brutal. It's savagery. I got a message for Lilo and it's from the Gang. Watch out, Lilo. They're coming to steal your treasure. Happy birthday to our favorite ant. According to your ant lifespan, you should be dead. But against all odds, we're 17. We all pitched in some dollars to make this happen. Jokes on you.
Starting point is 00:37:32 We bet you thought we didn't get you a gift. Well, this is just a prank, a little joke for our ant friend. Happy birthday to our favorite ant from us and the macaroys. And it actually says this is good as a preferred timeframe. And it says next available since I already missed the actual birthday and the longer we wait, the funnier it is. Accurate. I just googled gongo, which is a the shono word for clitoris. Oh, okay. Cool. Probably not. Probably not that. No, but it is good that now you've ruined this group of friends nickname for themselves, Griffin. Good job. That's a service I offer here at the Jumbotron. Thanks for the money. You mean clitoris is what you said. And that's from the clitoris gang. I do want to say too, because I just want to
Starting point is 00:38:27 go on record of saying this. Like we mentioned, I think last week, all the Jumbotrons for my brother, my brother and me and the adventure zone for 2017 are sold out. We get on average, I don't know, three to five emails a week saying, Hey, how do I get a message on the show for, you know, my significant other for my friend, for my sibling? Unfortunately, that's not going to be possible for 2017. And it's not something we like people, I don't know, maybe we haven't clarified this in a long time. People have like, they've paid money to buy these as presents for people. This is not just a nice thing that we do for people who email us. Sure. But I also want to point out that like statistically speaking, we'll probably launch
Starting point is 00:39:09 like three or four new podcasts next year. So yeah, real estate. You'll be fine. I want to tell you about a podcast. And it's called Moderately Funny. You can find them on iTunes or podcast addict, if you're on Android, or visit their webpage at moderatelyfunnypodcast.com. I did originally read that as podcast addict, if you're am Android. Yeah, either one works. This is their words. And it's pretty great. After listening to all the top podcasts and realizing that we were funnier than any of them, we decided to start our own. Imagine how we felt when we heard your podcast for the first time and realized we were only the second funniest? The answer is not good. It is what it is, though. But we know our place. That's why
Starting point is 00:39:50 everyone should definitely listen to our show, but only if they are caught up on a bim bam. But seriously, we're funny. I'm about to run out of characters. So before I do, I just want to say end of message, end of advertisement. And yeah, so go to moderatelyfunnypodcast.com. This is a pretty funny description. But again, only if you are caught up on my brother and my brother and me. You know, it's smart. If you go to moderatelyfunnypodcast.com, there's a sample of the show for people to listen to, to see if they like it or not. Man, man, we should do something like that, huh? We used to have a sampler. We have a sampler on YouTube from like 2004. And it's just like, President Bush, right? Can you? If you're listening, let's just make one,
Starting point is 00:40:37 please. No, come on. Well, maybe you already have one. Don't make one just for this. But if you've already made it, my brother and my brother and me sampler just because maybe you were bored, send it on over. But don't put it on YouTube because we gotta get them clear. That's ours. That's our material. We'll see you in court. From the dawn of time, one podcast has unlocked the secrets of science and technology to enrich the lives of billions. And now, after a year where they've unlocked the golden age of knowledge, they're about to hit warp speed and go stratospheric. Hold up. On Ono, Ross and Kerry, we don't make extraordinary claims. We investigate them. We go undercover with fringe religious groups, investigate paranormal claims,
Starting point is 00:41:24 and we participate in pseudoscientific medical treatments and then report our findings to you. And yes, we've even investigated Scientology. New episodes every month at MaximumFun.org. Ono, Ross and Kerry, they show up so you don't have to. I have a Yahoo here, sent in by Nicholas Potter. Thank you, Nicholas Potter. It's by Yahoo Answers user J-Roll, who asks, what is it about professional wrestling that makes you want to become one? For me, I love communicating with strangers around the world. And that's a big part of wrestling when talking on the microphone before a match during a show. Millions of people watching will know your work and will want to see you everywhere. Of course, it requires a lot of physical activity
Starting point is 00:42:06 in regards to an actual match, but I think I can do it just from learning the basics with the proper training, hitting the ropes, the footwork when circling around your opponent, the flipping around and bumping, which helps with the grapples and submission moves, etc. So I guess for the two of you boys, the question I would like to ask is, what is it about professional wrestling that makes you want to become one? Well, can I start off by saying that if the reason you want to become a professional wrestler is because you get to talk into a microphone, there's other opportunities to do that that don't involve all of that physical stuff you then listed after that.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Have you guys ever had the thought that if it weren't for the physical things, you could be a pretty good pro wrestler? I'm saying, I understand there's a lot, and it's not fake because people really get hurt and it's very physically taxing. Thank you for everything you all have done to your bodies, but I'm saying if it didn't require any of that, I feel like I could get like, if it was just like getting the crowd sort of riled up and shooting promos about how I'm going to kick somebody's butt. To the promos, yeah. Oh, you know what, I could do a good job. I would like to pitch myself as a professional wrestler, and I would like to frame it like
Starting point is 00:43:22 the Incredible Hulk, and here's what would happen. I would be the one who would get up and talk in the microphone, and I would be the one who did all the promos, and then I would climb under the stage, or I get into some kind of box, and then who's that coming out of it? It's like a bigger, stronger version of me who's not as articulate, but he's in super good shape, and he's ready to do all the actual fighting. My only thing I would insist on there is that they can't have a beard, because I do want them to have to struggle with a fake beard the entire moment. I want that to be like checking their spirit gum should be like a patented move. What I love is the idea of Jimmy John's offers a special off-the-menu sandwich, that when you eat it, Travis,
Starting point is 00:44:09 you transform turbo teen style into Brock Lesnar, the biggest and hungriest man ever to live. He is hairless like a dolphin, and he's made of a millimeter thin layer of skin, and then just all blood inside of that. You eat the Jimmy John sandwich, and then a trap door in the ring opens up, and you fall through, and then Brock pops up, and it's like, oh, here's the big man himself, he's back again. Travis ate the forbidden sandwich, now he's ready to rumble. That's good. Is that honestly the greatest strong person name ever? Is that a pseudonym, or is that like actually his name? Yeah, I think that's his Christian. I mean, his name is Travis McElroy.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Brock Lesnar. Yeah, his real name is Travis. Here's what I like about this. This gives you like something to struggle against. Like, I go to eat the sandwich, they knock the sandwich out of my hand. Oh no, I'm having to get away from the only name that's coming to mind is Brutus the Barber Beefcake. I think he's out of the game, but I'm trying to get away from him before he cuts my hair, and like, oh, I got to get to that sandwich. I got to get to that sandwich, but Paul Bearer, who I actually think is passed from this world, he's grabbing the sandwich. Now I'm jumping over the ropes, but I have to get back in in time, if I remember from WWE SmackDown, the video game, that I have to get back in before time counts down, or I'm out,
Starting point is 00:45:32 and so I'm trying to get that sandwich back from, and then I get it, and just as like, they're about to get me, I roll under the stage to eat the sandwich, boom, Travis, Brock Lesnar, the blood man. He's out, he's back out there, I'm like, oh, we shouldn't have let him get that sandwich. Now, now I'm on top, right, but then they try to eat the sandwich, but Brock doesn't just slams it in one bite, and he gets even more powerful, because the more he eats, the stronger he gets. I was on a wrestling podcast once, and I was asked this question, I've had a lot of time to develop my character, and mine would sort of be like the Pokemon Ditto, where I would just like, perfectly mimic everybody else's moves.
Starting point is 00:46:08 And so like, I would get in there, and I would fight against, I would fight against the undertaker, only I would be, I would like, do the same, literally the same exact entrance as him, and I would get in there, and he's a nine foot tall man, but I would still choke slam him, like, now I'm the undertaker now, and I would always, the thing about my character is I would always win every fight, and people wouldn't like me very much, like this is not going to be a nice experiment, like here comes John Cena, and also Griffin Cena. And I think your outfit should always be a copy of theirs, but a very bad one. It'll very much be like Kirby and Smash Brothers, where I will run into the ring,
Starting point is 00:46:47 I will very briefly swallow John Cena, and pass him, and pass him, and spin him out, but then like, when I spin him out, I'm wearing a little hat, it's backwards, and I've got some wrist cuffs, and I'm not, I don't have a shirt, and my jeans are off with their knees. Justin, can I pitch a, I have an idea for a wrestling persona for you, and I want you to tell me what you think of this. The pacifist, and your wrestler believes that the only way to win is to not fight, and also you have a pacifier. Okay, that's very, and I try to get the pacifier in their mouth. Yeah, and if you do, they have to immediately stop fighting and you win. I probably, I do think it would be a good wrestling move to
Starting point is 00:47:27 lay on the ground, because if you've ever tried, if you've ever tried to pick somebody up who's just laying on the ground, and they're easy, and you can't pin somebody on their tongue, that's legal, that's not legal. That's a good point, Justin, I didn't thought about this. Oh, and also, also your skin is cold and clammy. I think that a good strat would be like a good like character would be if you just didn't, like you know how every time they do any kind of wrestling move, like both people have to work together to pull it off to make it safe. My character would be like, I just wouldn't help out. Like, I'm going to choke Sami off the top rope, get in position. I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:48:01 fuck that, no. No, try it. I won't let you do that to me. Try it, tough guy. Yeah, try to do it to me, for real. How far would you get? How far would you get in wrestling if your whole thing was just like, no, I think I'm just going to try to beat them up, I think. I hear what you're saying, Vince, and I'm loving all of it. I could totally see the drama, but here's my unique spin. I think I'm just going to go try to beat him up with my fists and muscles. It's like a new thing I'm working on. They Irish whip you and you're supposed to run into the ropes and then come bounce back. They would throw me towards the ropes and I would just kind of stop and be like, because I do this and then you're going to hit me with your arm.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I'm not interested in that. I want to beat you up. That's my thing. I was reading in the script here that I lose, but let me offer, I have a different, what if I win? What if I beat him up instead of him beating me up? Call me the improviser. That will be my whole deals. They'll never see where I'm coming from. I'm the real fighter. It's my name, but also I do have to reiterate this character would be me with my own current human body. It would be a real extra. Oh, that's good. What if your special skill was you had an invisible barrier that was an inch outside of your body? Anytime anyone else tried to hit you, they couldn't do it,
Starting point is 00:49:37 but you could hit them. That would be the character I would want to play. You're saying I try to enforce an imaginary force field. If they touch me, they have violated my unique fiction. Who's that coming down the ramp? It's magic. Jerry, what's up guys? Shazam, you're dead. Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip. John Cena has died from some sort of magic. Hey, I did a Hadouken. You're supposed to fall. Look at my hands. That's a Hadouken. Everybody saw it. Magic Jerry just yelled yoga fire and Ryback is on the ground. We're all very worried about it. Here's another question. There's this guy I used to be friends with, but we haven't spoken regularly in a couple years. I guess they just use all silly voices and stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I honestly didn't even know him that well when we're in contact, but for some inexplicable reason, he always texts me right after he has sex with someone, tells me about it in vivid detail, and then does not contact me again until the next time he bones down. Why did he choose me for this? How can I get it to stop? Please God could someone help me. That's from nasty and Nashville. All right, you dirty bird. Let me tell you something. You can block someone on your phone. News flash, you like it. You like it. I don't think we should put this ball in this person's court. You should block them because this is weird, but the question stands. Why were you chose? What was it about me? What is it about you that they were like, oh, I know who would like this?
Starting point is 00:51:15 Stephen. You're saving his phone as nasty Stephen. Not just that Stephen will like this, but that Stephen needs this. Consistently, Stephen needs to know. Either I want Stephen to not worry about whether or not I'm able to bone on the reg or also maybe just like, I think Stephen really needs to know the ins and outs of this whole situation. Yeah. Damn, that's a, that's a good point. Or maybe it's a curse situation where it's like you said to this person, I bet you don't ever get any of that good. I bet you've never had the full Randall before. And they say, oh, is that true? Hmm. Interesting. And then they did a curse on your phone. Now every time they do have sex, when you gave this person your phone number, as they were in it, did they say anything like,
Starting point is 00:52:13 nice, finally got one or my first one? And maybe you're the only contact they have in the phone. So they're just trying to get it out there. Oh, so, and like the friend that introduced you to this friend was like, I'm free. Maybe you get, maybe you're, maybe you're getting BCC and you don't realize it. And they don't, they don't know it either. And they're so embarrassed. They just shout to the whole, no, they know. They're like, I did it. Gotta tell everybody on my phone. You're saying this isn't a targeted message. This is no, it's going out. It's going out to Steve. It's going out to newsletter. It's going out to mom home. It's going out to mom work. It's going out to dominoes. It's going out to Fifth Street dominoes.
Starting point is 00:53:08 I got a Yahoo. We can jump to. Yeah. Real quick, though. Real quick. From Drew Davenport, 119,000. Thank you, Drew. It's by Yadru and there's users. Sorry, something's gone wrong. I'm going to call this person. Sheamus asks, who would win in a fight? One Godzilla sized pug, one million pug sized Godzilla's or Kevin from Home Alone. I think we can deal with this one pretty quickly. Okay. One Godzilla. It's such a good question, right? It's that one horse sized duck or 10 duck sized horses or something like that. But this one takes it
Starting point is 00:53:50 up a notch. One Godzilla sized pug, one million pug sized Godzilla's. You deal with that. You think that over for so long. Small Godzilla's that can still fuck shit up. A big pug could just step on them. But then also Kevin is there. Okay. So if it's a one to one, the Godzilla sized pug would, I think, be consumed like piranha style by the large number of Godzilla's. The tiny Godzilla's could overwhelm him almost instantly. Especially, he says that pugs are not inherently bloodthirsty, vicious creatures. Kind of point. They don't need to be. This is a dog the size of a fucking building. Just by moving around, I will say they're energetical obese. And so they will run
Starting point is 00:54:35 around and scamper around. And in doing so, they will destroy scores of of zillas with each step. But and then, but then Kevin's there. Kevin. I think whoever wins the first contest will then immediately kill and eat Kevin because he's a child. He's a little child and he doesn't have superpowers. He that no one gave him any paint. He's just a child and he would get immediately consumed and killed. Well, here's here. Oh, hold on. I would like to throw a counterpoint. I think if we assume that one Godzilla sized pug is an equal match for how many was it? 10,000? A million, right? A million is tricking me up. Okay. Well, let's say that however many makes an equal match for a Godzilla sized pug, right? Now, Kevin is just one tiny flesh boy, but
Starting point is 00:55:26 he's going to tip the balance of whatever side he decides to join. So I would say that his best course, if we're talking about this Sun Tzu style, it's his best course is to ally with either one of them. I would go with the Godzilla sized pug myself so you could ride it Falcor style, but you side with him and then you let him be weakened by the X amount of pug sized Godzilla's. Then you turn on him at the end because you are still fresh from the fight and you are able to take him down. But if we're talking about... In one way, in what reality, what exact... Okay, you can't just say take him down. Even if he's a bruised and battered, he's still Godzilla sized and he's a tiny boy. Like, I don't care how many
Starting point is 00:56:11 fucking Tonka trucks he puts in front of this thug. He's a giant dog. He's going to kill and eat him. Who wins in a fight, Justin? Kevin from Home Alone with all of his traps and his deviousness or Matthew Broderick because Matthew Broderick has killed Godzilla and all of Godzilla's children. So what's it look like? Well... Kevin's got all his traps. I also want to say, Gryffindor, just no spoilers. He doesn't kill all of Godzilla's children. There's still one in the locker room. Let's credit what Gryffindor is to. I think the only shot Kevin has in this conflict is to go into the basement and wait. And as he listens, the million Godzilla, tiny Godzilla's will eat everybody else and then they'll leave.
Starting point is 00:57:08 And then because they'll have to keep eating like a shark and then he can maybe come out later after a few years. To a blighted world. To a blighted world and then say like, I guess I'm still here. And then just as he's having this moment of amazing triumph, he'll drop his talk boy and it'll break and he'll be like, no, no, no. Yeah. Now I truly am home alone. He'll say. And he has to repopulate the earth with his buzzes, girlfriend. Yeah. It could be the sequel to Home Alone 2 lost in New York and it'd be Home Alone 3. New York is lost. And for that joke to work, you have to do what I do, which is pretend that Home Alone,
Starting point is 00:57:53 anything after Home Alone 2 doesn't exist. So. Yes. Um, should we wrap up? Yeah, let's let's finish this. They should have made, they should have made, they need to make a new Home Alone 2 now, but combine Home Alone and like the White House down movies, but like Kevin trying to protect the White House from like international terrorists and he's trying to save the president. Fuck, I would watch that. Why isn't that real? They could get Charlie Hunnam. I would buy that, actually, if it was like Home Alone 6 and it's Charlie Hunnam is a grown up Kevin McAllister trying to save the president with traps. Don't mind if I do enjoy that film. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Right. Is it too late? Can we make that Hollywood? Yo, Hollywood, make me that please. Can Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci be the terrorist leaders, I guess? Yes. Yes, they can. Yeah, they're in there. They're in the mix. I think Daniel Stern would be, and I think he would, I think he'd sign on. Pesci might be a bigger get. Oh, no, no, no. Pesci and Stern are the two that like Kevin like has to turn to like to work with. Oh, yes, the team up. Oh, fucking, are you kidding me? Are you, I'm, I'm fucking so in love with this movie. They're like elderly and he has to go to them be like one more job. I just to break into the White House together as a team up. Are you kidding? We're not going to help you
Starting point is 00:59:14 kid. We're going to kill you guys. It's ISIS. Okay. Listen, maybe a dirty crook, but I'm, I'm a red-blooded American through and through. Let's do this. The patriotic band. That's right again. The patriotic band. It's this time and we got a third member and it's Kevin. And then at the end, they do try to kill him, but they can't because he's Kevin McAllister and he had traps ready for them. Yeah. Oh, he was looking for that double cross. Fuck yes. Oh, make it. We need this now more than ever. Shit. I want this movie. I want this movie. I want this movie. What's what's Brenda Fricker gone do? Oh, she times the teams up with Snow Shovel Man. They're working together. They fused into one magic old person.

She just turns into like a John Woo movie with Brenda Fricker like throwing doves at them. Long dead doves. Shit. Shit. Okay. So anyway, good movie. Good movie. It's a good movie that exists now. I mean, we've basically spoken it into existence. Thank you to everyone who has kicked in gifts to the Mabin Bam Angels campaign for the year. You all are doing an amazing job. If you don't know, here's like the very, very brief version. We are trying to help out people in our area who aren't going to have much of a holiday without you, our beloved listeners.
Starting point is 01:01:03 There's a list of people at MabinBamAngels.com that you can choose one and you send them things. You can do Amazon. Just send gifts to help and you claim them off the list and you feel great and you help people who really need it. And you all rise to the challenge every year. This year was our biggest list ever. It felt like by a country mile and everybody's just like crushing it. What I love is, and a lot of people know about this, we've been doing it for a while, but I don't know if everybody knows the backstory and that this was the thing that like the newspaper used to do and then like- And they still help. They still help. And they still help. But yeah, definitely. But like our audience just ate it up. Our audience was like, this is ours.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Like a million pug-sized Godzilla's. Yeah, just consumed it like a million Godzilla-sized Kevin Arnold's. Not Kevin Arnold. That's another one, isn't it? You can buy gifts on there or you can just kick in some cash if you want to do that because they're trying to buy big ticket items like people don't have beds and ovens and it's really depressing until you decide that you can fix it. And you can. You can fix this. Go to MbemBamAngels.com and let's get those final 15% done. Yeah, I was going to say right now, we are also participating in World Builders, which is a charity that was started by Patrick Rothfuss. It benefits Heifer International, Mercy Corps, and First Book, you know, helping people out. And we're, I think we're, this week, I think it's
Starting point is 01:02:36 the end of it. I'm not sure, but right now we've already raised over $1,500 through the MbemBam Beano's World Builders group. And for every $10 you donate, you get entered into a lottery to win cool stuff and you get to be a part of the MbemBamBeano team. So if you want to go to bit.ly forward slash mbambamwb, you can check that out. We're also participating in some live streams with Patrick this week. Not sure what time this will go up, but if it goes up in time, we're doing one at 2 p.m. Eastern, and we'll tweet about that. And then I'm also doing one on Wednesday at 5 p.m. Eastern, talking about like mental health and how important it is to take care of yourself. And we'll tweet that link as well. And yeah, go check it out. Support a good cause.
