My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 353: The Feenysnatcher

Episode Date: May 1, 2017

"Friends, we find ourselves in the midst of an unprecedented crisis. All our sitcom characters have gone missing. Well, not 'missing,' per se. We know where they are. They're in universes where they should not, CANNOT be. God help us all." Suggested talking points: All The Movies Watch, Twonies, I've Made A New Invention, Drunk Band-Joining, Triumphant Return, Guestpert: Jonah Ray, Bus Baseball Man

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 at Advice Show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middleest brother, Travis McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother 30 into 30 meter luminary different McElroy. Which one are we doing? Okay, we're doing a watch watch.

I know, but we need to pick the film for it. Here's the thing. They're all so good. Okay. They're literally all so good. Sometimes we talk about new movies in the intro, and we watch out for them. Oh, we could do a circle watch, and it's about, it's the, what if Facebook was bad? Yeah, but like, some would argue it is. Oh, dang. See, there'd be a lot of material there if we wanted to go with that as the watch, because I could do a whole like, I get all these, you know, Dragon Puzzle Kingdom invite. No, this isn't, that won't do. We could do Slyte, but I actually am like legit excited to see Slyte, but maybe there's some like, we could maybe tie it to the Now You See Me verse.

Fate of the Furious, didn't talk about the new, oh wait a minute, I got it, I got it, I got it. All right. Ooga Chaka, ooga, ooga, ooga Chaka. Where are we going? The Guardians of the Galaxy are back. Hey, them. Yeah, we're, I'm watching out for them, because they're back in a big, in a big way. The whole team is back, Superman, Batman, Chris Pratt, all the dinosaurs, the Parks and Rec gang are in this one. Plant woman tree, small tree, raccoon gun, ever. Condor man. There's a, actually this one's got seven raccoons. They've up the stakes. Whoa. Yeah, there's a tree and there's a strong fella, and then there's eight or nine raccoons. Fuck these raccoons and fuck Guardians of the Galaxy

and everybody involved with it. I'm here to talk about Chuck. It's back, they did it. We got it six seasons in a movie, and he's back playing Chuck, and he's doing, is he a spy or not? Yvonne Stravinsky is here too, and she is definitely a spy, and I just clicked through, and this is apparently a boxing movie with Leah Shriver, which is good. Friend of the show. Friend of the show, Leah Shriver. I was hoping it was Chuck, Chuck, because I do want to talk about my theory that Chuck is just a gritty reboot of the computer war thing. I won't let you talk about that on our podcast, fucking ever again. You've done it once. Have I brought it up before? Yeah, but you've done it before. I want to go back to Boss Baby now. Still making a lot of money, I will say that,

making money hand over pudgy fist. It's Boss Baby, Alec Baldwin is back. He's back as a baby. As Jack Donagy, a baby. Here's 30 Rock. He's a baby. What I love about this, I have a baby now, but it's not, he doesn't talk. He's not Alec Baldwin. He doesn't wear little suits and do whatever this wonderful baby does in this movie, and so now I can look at my baby and I'll be swept away into a world of make-believe and stuff. If you're listening, creators of Boss Baby, and it might be a little late now because your movie's out, but I would like to pitch a tagline for your movie. A little late. Yeah, a little bit late for it. But here's the tagline, look who's talking now. And it's like Q, look who's talking now. A, a baby, this wild baby.

A baby. It's a baby. A baby in a suit. Who ever heard of such a thing? His parents are putting him in those suits. I don't know if that's a big angle. What's the story with the Boss Baby? Does he? This is like the one animated film I haven't seen. I haven't seen it either, but I would like to theorize just based on the three seconds of trailer I've seen, what I think Boss Baby's about. My theory. Yeah. The Boss was a fully grown person who has been cursed to be a baby to remember what life was like before he cared about only business. About money. So at the end of the movie, he realizes his mistake. He's transformed back

into a fully grown adult, which makes for, I would say, a pretty rough day for his parents. Yes. Ooh, good job. Go, go, go. Remember? It's like a dancing Boss Baby. Okay, you've confused me because that's the second time you've done that in the intro bit. It's just hard for me to, it's hard for me to get on board with a watch about some little baby that I don't care about. Some Alec Baldwin baby. It, honestly, God, I find it hard and this is not a joke to care about any watch other than Charles too. Yeah. It's all I get. I'm looking so far forward. It's hard to be in the now. I'm looking forward to that. Griffin, did you see the new Fast and Furious movie?

No, I didn't. I missed it. I haven't seen it yet. I heard that. I mean, I know that my big friend, Vin Diesel, turns on his family, and I'm just okay pretending that this one doesn't exist, I guess. If that's the, if that's the route they want to go, here's the route I'm going to go, not to the movie theater. I'll go to the Baskin Robbins instead or something. Find some better way to spend my time if you're going to betray my family like that. And that's five minutes. Okay. All right, now. Jesus Christ. I can't believe how long we talked about Boss Baby. It took, uh, that took longer than I, I mean, we went 30 seconds over. We could have stopped back there a while ago. I mean, you're assuming that that was all just in pure,

gonna make the show unedited, fucking nonstop guilt. I'm not saying Boss Baby is a bad film. I'm saying I don't know the Boss Baby. I don't know the Boss Baby. I'm looking at a picture and it looks very smug and he's holding a cookie, which like, you're a baby. If you ate that, you'd die. You know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. Babies can't have cookies? No, not when they're that small. They don't know how to chew or whatever. Does the Boss Baby have teeth? Uh-oh. Oh, shit. Travis has to go. I'll be right back. He has some chips off. I'll just text my wife. It'll be fine. Uh, uh, she's just jamming cookies in my baby's mouth, like, like some sort of human gachupon machine. Uh, I have this friend that every time I bring up something interesting I find out,

they always answer with, you didn't know? Are they lying to me and actually not know either? Or do they actually have vast knowledge of fun facts and news? That's from Erin Cincinnati. God, what a bummer. What a shitty, bad one. What a shitty thing. Yeah, that's a, no, I think your friend's a dick. I don't think their computer award tennis shoes. Let's Occam's razor this one. Either your friend has this bad habit or they are Kirk Cameron in tennis shoes with a Google brain. And I don't think, I don't think Kirk Cameron's got a Google brain. I don't think your friends with him, if that, if that were true. So I think it may just be a sort of a nasty habit that.

It also doesn't matter which is the answer because like that's not how you're supposed to respond. Yeah, that's not how it's done. Well, I mean, he's got a fucking computer, he's got a Google brain, Travis. But even then, Griffin, if you had a Google brain and someone's like, oh, boss baby is already out in theaters, you would respond like, yeah, duh, you didn't know that? Get out of here. Like, there's a better way to handle that exchange. Yeah. No, your friend doesn't omnipresent omni knowledge having. They probably know what the word is that I tried to get there. But yeah, no, it's just your friend has a bad habit. How do you fix this? This is a bad one though. You're gonna have to honeypot this. Oh, you're gonna have to come up

with some facts that ain't facts. Oh my God, I did this. What did you do? In elementary school, we had a friend who was like this and he would claim like to know all the stuff and we came up with a sequel to Goonies. And we said, and we started talking a lot about Goonies too. And did he know about Goonies too and was he excited about it? And he claimed to have known about Goonies too for a while, not the NES game Goonies, which I know existed. Thank you, Twitter. You can fucking close the app. I got you. I got you. And now tweet at me that I got you. If I did just get you by the way, you gotta own up to it. Tweet tweet at me that I got you. Okay. You don't realize you're this friend and Justin just honeypotted our entire listenership. Yeah, but he he like he

claimed to like he really buckled down on Goonies to existing and his knowledge of the of the film. And that's and that's how we finally got him. I don't think there was a prestige here. That would have been great if we had that. I don't I don't think we had like a term. Well, the prestige would have been the prestige would have been that Goonies to really did exist. And this guy really his dad really was an executive producer on it. And he really did get an early screener. And then he'd say he would put you back in your place, which that would be horrible for you. It'd be great for me, though, because I'd love a Goonies to I would love to see all those kids go on another treasure hunt. Yeah, I would love that. Now, do you know how big that

would be? It would be the biggest. Maybe the biggest ever. Tunies. Tunies. How about Yahoo? Yeah, do it. This was sent in by Morgan Davy. Keep it wavy. Morgan Davy. Thank you. It's Yahoo Answers user bunny who asks. Can you name all of Steve Urkel's catchphrase? And then additional details. Can you name all of Steve Urkel's catchphrase? There's no question mark on that one. So it's sort of the sub the subhead on this one kind of got a little like there's a desperation to it. Let's see. Before we get I know we're about to just pull out our funny bones and just slam them against the table. But before we do that, I mean, did I do that? Oh, were you going to be funny because I was gonna see if I could really do it got any cheese. I feel like that went away

round the middle of like season two. And it's rare that they phase out a catchphrase, huh? They're like, guys, I just don't think got any cheese is really penetrating the market audience. I don't know. Maybe he's not maybe he's not cheese obsessed as a character tree. There's not while I'm pouring that was repeated numerous times. Wait, really? Someone would try to talk to him whilst pouring a mixture and he would say, not while I'm pouring and I'm not even joking that happened at least I would say at least five times if not more. So I think that well at least that's not a joke in any way. That is actually just science safety. Like he was pouring dangerous chemicals and people were trying to talk to him. You can lay a lot of slams down at

Urkel's feet, but he was a very, very safe scientist. He kept a clean laboratory. What about Woe Mama? Right? Didn't he do that where he grabbed the glasses kind of? Yes, Woe Mama was definitely one of them. That one was listed by Yahoo member KO71 who says, did I do that? Who Mama? Which is a different but close and good. This user also swears by the following catchphrases. Sorry Carl was one I guess he probably said a lot because he did foul up Carl's I think evening a lot. That just seems like human interaction. I don't know if that counts. There weren't any t-shirts that just said sorry Carl. And then there was one that's hi Laura and that is just sort of a greeting that people say to each other and then of course

the timeless catchphrase that user KO71 loves this one is I've made a new invention. Do you remember when Urkel would say I'm everyone I've made a new invention and the audience and laugh and scream and woo. I've made a new invention. I'm Urkel. I've made a new invention. I love it. The weirdest part about that is once you got to season four they just had him barrel just like look right down the camera and say I've made a new invention. Right he would not even in his Urkel voice. He would kick open the door to the Winslow household and step inside and the audience would applaud for seven minutes and he would look right down the fucking barrel and he would just say I've made a new invention. I like the ones where someone

would walk in and find Steve Urkel in their kitchen and he would say I've been in your kitchen for 15 minutes. Every time they did it the minutes would be different. So sometimes it was like I've been in your kitchen for 12 minutes and it's just kind of tracking because it was in real time. Right. Every family matter 10% was in a real time. Yeah that's the best part about it. You could turn it on at any time of day to see what the Winslow's and Urkel's were. And then the Winslow whatever Winslow family member he says that to or he fesses up to being in the kitchen that family member is just like huh better make sure all the cheese isn't gone and he's like I don't fucking do that anymore. I don't do that anymore. My favorite my favorite C-verkl catchphrase was

every time he would say I trapped my parents in an alternate dimension so that I could have full domain over the house. Yeah I remember that one. I've made a new invention. It's a pocket dimension for my parents. I had a little chuckle earlier because in googling trying to find a more complete list I found a story from HuffPostTV and the headline of this piece this dates back to 2015 when Jaleel White who is an accomplished performer in his own right but of course his best known as Steve Urkel was appearing on Worst Cooks in America's Celebrity Edition and the the quote in this piece is I might have had a did I do that moment on the show said White to which HuffPost replied did you do that and he said you'll have to watch the show Laughed White. I don't think you're

going to be disappointed in my participation. The headline of this news post is Jaleel White hints he's bringing back his Steve Urkel catchphrase and it's like it's not it's not the headline of this story is there's some scuttle butt there's some vague hints that somewhere Jaleel White said out loud did I do that and cameras filmed it and you can see it. Believe it now we don't know that for sure but there's a hint that this that he did say did I do that on a camera in front of a camera. Jaleel White potentially made quote new invention. He greeted someone named Laura and apologized to someone named Carl but we haven't been able to pin down whether or not it was the same character. This viral video of Jaleel White on

a subway train when he stepped on a man named Carl's foot and then greeted a friend named Laura who boarded the train. People lost their fucking minds. Do you guys remember the episode it was a whole arc where Steve Urkel using a jetpack reached the step by step universe and took one of the daughters to a dance and did the Urkel. I thought you're gonna say using the jetpack took one of the daughters back to family matters. What's up skip you're on family matters now. Your brood is mine now. I bred the lines. Your brood is mine now Duke boy. Wait you know about a duke's of hazard in this reality. Yeah in my react well this is Patrick Duffy. Yo yeah it's okay. It's down step by step. Mr. Matthews I'm very this oh man a nerdy child with a jetpack is grabbing me I'm gone but

you're on family matters now Feeny. I'm recording anything Avengers. Feeny he's not answering yeah he got taken to family matters. He doesn't live in that house anymore. He's on family matters he got taken. They need a lot of interviews from this prison Mr. Urkel. They need a lot of characters to fill 24 hours of daily programming so they had to recruit some other people. All right here's another question. A few months ago I drunkenly agreed to be in a friend's band thinking nothing would come of it. Now he's beginning to book gigs and urging us to rehearse. The problem is I am not particularly musically inclined and I don't have that kind of time to devote to a band. How do I get out of this band without looking like an asshole. Sincerely Pete Best from 60 years ago.

What. No it's bamboozled in Baltimore. I there's so many parts of this question that confused the shit out of me. Yeah. Can I say mine and see if it's done with yours is if you are not musically inclined. Yeah. How did how did you get into this. You gotta be in the band. I don't plan you got your spirit your energy. We need it. We need it. This is the tricky thing about spirits is there is a certain amount of alcohol that you can drink that when somebody asks you the question how do you play the drums. Right. The answer becomes yes I do. Hammy Hammy those good those good skin sticks. I also am confused in this question that your friend has begun to book gigs. You haven't rehearsed it all. Your friend has put the cart so far in the front of the horse the

horse can't see it. The horse is not aware that there is a cart. Yeah. And the horse does not know how to play the bass as well as the horse maybe said they did when they had a little too much of that boons farm. Now how do you get out of the band. Justin was joking earlier but you kind of can't because you never know what is going to be the new Beatles. I mean my friends we're just going to play a little skiffle. You don't know you could you could be skiffling one day and then the hard day is nighting the next day and you got to you can't you can't destroy this thing before it has a chance to get off the ground. I feel like this might be a self-correcting issue like show up to the first rehearsal sit down with your bass and you're like

and they're like OK we're we're good here. All right. You're fine. All right guys. Let's just let's just see what this old dog can do. OK. Well we can't do this. We can't make this. We have a we have this space for three hours though. Do you guys want to I don't know get some pizza. Is it possible that this is a mighty mighty Boston situation and this person was recruited just to like like the dancing guy in mighty mighty Boston just like oh shit. Hype man to get the party party rocking. Who's the umbrella man. You know the umbrella man from outcast. Yes. Yeah. The outcast version like they were putting a band together and umbrella man was like I can play the trumpet and they're like all right let's get in there and then he couldn't and said they just handed him

an umbrella instead. Fawnsworth Bentley. Thank you. Oh that was going to eat me up. Yeah. Ben Carr was the name of the dancing guy in the mighty mighty Boston's. Now if that name seems familiar to you it's because he also used to work at harmonics. Holy shit that was him. What really did dig it. Maybe maybe what your friend needs in this band is a dynamic front person. This is the thing that's gone out the window. Your diamond Dave's like you just don't see it as much anymore. Now here's the thing I will also say David Lee Roth is also a pretty good singer. So if you don't have that going for you you're already at a bit of a disadvantage but if you can really bring the energy if you're really like you might not

be able to sing like Freddie Mercury but if you can just ooze charisma like Freddie Mercury you might be able to make it through a couple gigs. Hey do you um ooze sex because if so you might have a place in this band you can't play you have no musical and that's fine. Can you ooze sex. What are you going to put you on a mic that's not plugged in um and you just ooze. You just angela. Or can I hit you with this. Maybe you'll learn. Maybe you get in there and day one it's goon ga ga goon goon which is drum does what and then by day two it's you know goon ga ga ga goon ga ga just like maybe you're maybe you're there's people who just they pick it up and then like the little boy in um love actually they're they're going they're going buddy rich on that shit and

like a week just goosh just a lot of does the gooshes and a lot of paradiddles you just gotta get JK Simmons to come in and yell at you. Or Liam Neeson to come in and talk to you like it's okay to be sad about your mom. Oh have both have Liam Neeson come in to bring you down yeah and then like JK to bring you up. Monday Wednesday Friday you get Neeson Tuesdays Thursdays and either Saturday or Sunday he likes to keep his weekends kind of flexible you get JK Simmons it's like what did Liam say well the opposite of that. It's sort of like it's like searching for Bobby Fisher and one is you're being Kingsley and the other is your Joe Montaigne I guess. Harry Connick Jr. Harry Connick Jr. is in there too somewhere. Harry even the Mary shows up on Sunday you get JK

Tuesday Thursday Saturday you get Liam Monday Wednesday Friday and then Harry Connick Jr. comes in on Sunday and you guys just like smoke some whiskey and talk about I don't know love whatever. Harry Connick Jr.'s role in searching for Bobby Fisher is every three minutes or so he pops his head up from the corner of the screen no one's quite sure where he's from he says he kid chess is pretty cool but if you tried the panano the kid's like one I'm pretty sure it's piano. Not when I do it. Not when I do it. He would be the all-time best music. Have you guys ever seen that video? Sorry real quick I just looked at the searching for Bobby Fisher IMD page because I couldn't I couldn't remember Joe

Montaigne's name in the moment and there's a user list you know the IMDb has the like user list somebody has a list it's 41 movies long and it's Sydney Pollock movies I haven't seen but want to 41 fucking movies I'm a huge fan except Can I give you this Yahoo? Is it about Harry Connick Jr.? It is it's from Harry Connick Jr. and it's asked by Harry Connick Jr. and uh no it's from level 9000 you had you drew Drew Devonport and thank you Drew it's Harry Connick Jr. New nickname new nickname I'll get rid of it sorry no more shopping he's Harry Connick Jr. It's really hard to say. It's really tough it's by uh drew your answers user Michael who asks will this make me look like a douche or something

I've been away from work for two weeks and I'm coming back on Monday I know my co-workers needed me while I was gone and I know not for sure they missed me so you don't know my workplace is just a neighborhood bookstore so there are like only 10 employees I thought it would be cool to make a nice return entrance and come in with some awesome music like the beginning of crazy in love or something in that style my fear is that I might look like a huge douche while doing that without even meaning or noting it noticing it whoa hold on you so what you can't say without even meaning to at that point yeah um so what do you think is it a cool thing to do or extremely douchey ah first of all can I ask this question of you boys mm-hmm what do you think this question

asker thinks was going on in their absence that they were like I know they needed me at this neighborhood bookstore of 10 employees without me the whole place was falling apart yeah the fucking store owner like kicks in the door like guys guys guys books too this is sequel to books and we're not ready for it and everybody scrambled like stock the shells of books too um I it's such a fine line isn't it it's such a ostentatious ostentatious gestures there's such a fine line between douchey and thrilling you know this sweet I think your own personal charisma is the x factor that makes this really hard to dictate right like you could could you sell this harry connick could harry connick jr could sell this absolutely for sure

do you have his charisma let me help you don't uh but are you close enough to pull it off I don't know one of these users says it will be cool if you use the right song play the superman theme song and hire out a superman suit and some cabling then fly into the store to save them all from your bookstore wait okay a few problems and rigging system do you think this neighborhood bookstore some cabling like that's a pretty big that's like a lot of jumps you're making there we're gonna have to cut out the window above the door so I can get in the problem is it's a bookstore so I think coming in with a boombox is not very cool what if you came in with a boombox okay here here's the move come with a boombox just blaring crazy in love except it's it's very quiet it's

like at a tasteful volume but your gestures and just your various gesticulations are sort of out max uh yeah I like the max level the door opens and you just hear like but you're just flailing while but you're flailing wildly I got an idea you're coming back and you want people to be excited about you coming back right um you could bring some like brownies or something that's good for me you know I mean your dance number it was very cool but it you know it's even cooler a billion cookies let me okay Griffin counterpoint and let me wrap this all into a big bow are you ready for this I think well I still I want to play in the space don't close off the space trap well want to play but when I pitch my idea you let me know if I've solved it or not you are going to need

to hire a string quartet and an opera singer to do final countdown I don't know that this is going to be it no because post-mortar jukebox is very popular right now people are really into these like you take a song you turn it and this is a bookstore right so they have to like you know books and nerdy shit so like you're going to bring in a string quartet and they're going and like they're going to come in one by one playing one by one and it's going to build and the opera singer comes in for like it's the final yes and then you come in and maybe there's also like a caricature artist I don't know you know classy shit okay but well um it's been two weeks uh-huh it's a factor we haven't really dove into yet yeah if I when I was working at the

the country's best yogurt and I like to think that we were the country's best the country's best yogurt we were all sort of tcby yeah we were all putting in extra hours um and my coworker mark left to go with his family to the smokies for two weeks and then he comes back with a choreographed dance number I think I would probably be just kind of angry at mark in that moment because I haven't missed you I haven't missed you that much mark I don't know that you've earned this mark the ultimate version of this is mark comes back after six months of not being there and he comes in to a string quartet playing final countdown and you're like mark what the fuck where you've been and he's like I got fired for stealing money holy shit mark yeah I spent all of it on this string

quartet legally I'm not supposed to be within a hundred yards of this building it's the final countdown could you hide in a closet in a sleeping bag and then when they arrive for work they open it up and you sort of tumble out and try to sell them on the fact that you've been living there like you have that's where you've been as you had some hard times and you've lived in the bookstore I mean you can have a lot of fun with that too because you could like get in the crawl space and just sort of yell at them um and say that like the bookstore did consume you in some way like it consumed your spirit the bookstore and I have become one yeah I am the bookstore dust me dust my walls don't sell that book that's my kidney I wasn't done reading that one and then

like your entrance back is you just smashed through the fucking drywall and our birth from the house womb and there you are in your back you have written every word of Jane Eyre on you and you're like I'm free and that is what House of Leaves is about in case you're crazy that is that's all don't worry about it there's a bunch of stuff you gotta like turn the book upside down at some point don't even worry about it we got you covered all right we need to take a quick detour let's stop into the money um hey I want to tell you all about Harry's um you'll know about Harry's right yeah they do the shaving stuff but they do it like better than anybody um basically

is out of this world it really is a real trip it's real fun it will hold your hand we'll keep you safe don't worry now jonah unless i'm mistaken i can kind of hear from your voice that you're doing a lot of fun faces and i do want to tell you that that is it's it's neither necessary nor appreciated there's a marathon not a sprint you need to save that face muscle energy for just raw audio production i get i get i get your concerns but i i have no control over it i do have a spasm and i uh ask that you not bring it up on this medium uh which is why i've done so well in the silhouetted uh entertainment world where you can't see my face now jonah how does that work yeah you're really in a big theater i've always wondered you know movie magic is hey but but jonah

how does it work yeah but no but really i am too you want you want to know that like the thing that like i was most like because like you know watching watching the show so much and like trying to find out all about it and how they made it uh like i knew they did like the silhouettes in front of a uh a green screen or a blue screen originally but when uh we were it was time to do ours um they they put me in a like a dark gray jumpsuit um and then the bots were painted uh completely like a matte black that must be very very very upsetting it just was like bizarro world negative land uh mr science theater and that was like a thing that i was like oh yeah and that that was probably the one thing that i was really shocked by noticing now jonah are the robots hard to work

with because they seem like they're always right yeah it seems like they're always giving you the business they really are but they are good friends of mine they're true professionals and it's though the way we work is just it's it's a lot of fun i mean you guys know what you do here on your radio show uh it's just a good way to have fun and not take things too seriously hey is how is how much superstar really fucking cool in person because it seems like he'd be a really fucking cool guy he's a really cool i mean i've known i've known that guy for probably now like 14 years or 15 years uh and he's a he's an awesome good dude he's a good friend uh he uh he actually was the wedding bandit um i in my wife's wedding you're kidding me god i can't imagine

that's a fucking cool wedding yeah it was it was a really fun wedding we did it like at this place that was right on some train tracks and we timed the ceremony to be when trains were going by and it was fun to like look at the uh look at the audience um and to see who thought it was awesome and who thought it was a horrifying thing to happen during a wedding um but uh man this is gonna sound uh real name dropping and i apologize if it does but um when when Harmar was playing uh they were like they did a bunch of Harmar superstar songs and then they started playing like some like you know wedding wedding kind of covers and they started playing uh power of love uh what they didn't know though is that uh in attendance uh was tom wilson the guy who

played biff holy shit oh no and so like and you know tom kind of like he's like a really awesome guy really great comic a good actor but he does you know there is a bit of a complex not a complex but like it's something he deals with he did a song about it i mean he did a song about people asking him about back to the future yeah exactly stop asking me these questions but then uh so he was uh he was there and then they started playing the song and then i guess a couple people around him were like uh hey get up there oh that stinks so he ran but he ran up on stage and started singing the song along with uh Harmar who did not know he was there it was blown away everyone started screaming everyone uh everyone like was really blown away then he

he left shortly i emailed him saying like it's like hey i'm sorry if you felt like they didn't know you were there and he's like oh no no it's totally fine i i don't mind but he said the worst part was when a friend of mine came up to him and uh he was drinking uh he was drinking a light beer and someone said someone said light beer uh like like at the reference like to you know oh i bring your car all the way back here and all you got for me is light beer and then tom's response to that tom's response to that was uh come on man you're better than that yeah i didn't come i didn't come for this wedding to work yeah i do think though he does have to stop drink i mean he can't just drink a light beer in public and not expect you know yeah this certain things you trade off for fame

like if like like when when clean east was at the casino he doesn't say like i'm feeling lucky and everyone's like oh go on dude let's hey we you're not here because of tv or because of jokes you're here because you're an expert i am jonah and we're gonna pick your proverbial brain which is an excellent choice of um a phrase from me a broadcasting professional because i am i'm gonna uh uh we're gonna talk about zombies and some about comedy shows we got many more here's the thing we got many more questions about zombies than we did about putting on comedy shows like many many many more which is surprising to me because i thought like i don't know like a lot people who listen to our show are like comedy folks right that do like actually do like improv

and stuff like that but no they're i think they're more concerned about being devoured by a dead person well do you think it's the bubble is it the is the comedy bubble finally over is this like the first inkling that it's all gonna go downhill for all of us no actually jon i think what it is is we might have forgotten to mention on the show the comedy show aspect that'll that'll do it every time about it and i think that might have had a pretty big impact um but we did uh we did fail to mention in the in your intro that along with mst3k and hidden america you also were one of the hosts of the meltdown with jonah and kumail uh i played the role of jonah yeah i was gonna say who's the other who's the other host on that one well i actually went i went to one of the meltdown

live shows and kumail was not in attendance and filling in his place was jud apatow which made for it was a very surreal experience for me wait is that what's the meltdown so the meltdown was a it was a it was a comic book store that uh i started doing a show at like you know me eight years ago or so um and then when kumail moved to town i was doing it monthly he wanted to try and figure out a weekly show so we just kind of joined forces with his wife emily gordon and uh she started producing it we started hosting it so it was just a weekly comedy show that we did for a while that we ended up turning into three seasons of a show in kami central but it wasn't a podcast it was never a podcast oh thank god okay good because listen it's crowded in here jonah you gotta i and my

whole intro would have been so stupid if you had done a podcast before so i'm really happy to hear at home that's we call that doubling down there's no there's no backing out of this ill fated bit now uh will i return to it again well we'll just have to see but it's time it's time to start really digging deep into these questions and this is a very good one that i like and this is not the first one travis has listed but i'm gonna leave with it because i think it's great jonah and macaword brothers how do you feel about people in zombie movies and shows who seem to have no concept of zombies you're all really so shocked to see undead folks you've never even conceived of this before there's no george from maro in your universe come on how would you all handle it if you made a zombie

flick and that's from jennifer well jennifer uh it is kind of brought up in a very clever way and shon of the dead it's the best yeah which is uh like it's nick frost's character says zombies and then shon says don't use that word and that's it uh and that's it he's like which word the zed word you know it's and he's like why not he's like because it's crazy because that's the feeling people would have i'd imagine it bothers me so much in walking day which is now like the biggest zombie thing fucking ever of all time and probably always will be is there's this whole concept is just like oh no here come here come the flesh skeletons like oh that's what you call them we call them walkers what do you call them i call them shamblers what do you call i call them stink

meats and it's like they're zombies you guys have seen these fucking films did you say one of them was sandlers as an adam i said i said shamblers but i'm sure there's a group of people like what's up where the nasty boys we call them sandlers like why do you need your own club and not call them zombies where the spike kings we call them zoe hands because you don't want to mess with them um i don't i think i like i really think the shon of the dead model is the best way to to has there ever been a zombie movie where like where they just flat out just call them zombies and they call them zombies the whole time zombie land zombie land did right zombie land they just leaned into it i i find i feel this about any movie where it's like it must be so hard when you're

like the the script writer for the movie like if you're doing a vampire movie and you know somebody shows up and they're like have a lot of eye makeup on and they're being really creepy but someone's not like oh that's the vampire you guys know about vampires right right we all know about vampires this is the vampire they can't do that in other movies that the fucking upcoming and i can't believe they're making a mummy reboot with tom cruise is it they they're not like uh oh here comes a bandage boy like no they know what fucking mummies are there's a there's a really funny thing kumail once said where he said why isn't every movie with the rock uh every time he meets someone new for the first time why isn't the first thing they say go whoa you're huge oh also in return of the living

dead uh they um in the beginning uh they bring up the uh romero night of the living dead like it's like they they make a loot they allude to like it's like oh no that was based on real things so covered up what's the scariest that you think zombies have ever been like what's the scariest portrayal of zombies that i actually got got to you hmm i mean it's like it's different because it's like when i was a kid i didn't know return of the living dead was a comedy i just thought it was frightening that the zombies could run faster than you know the ones in dawn of the dead the original dawn of the dead um probably the original dawn of the dead was the one that really made me the most scared for me i was resident resident evil one i know it doesn't technically count

because it's not a movie but that shit literally gave me nightmares for five or six years straight reasonable four gave me nightmares but just like stress game nightmares yeah right right thriller thriller freaking out when they god yeah i was really young first time i saw it when they came out through the floorboards like the concept of like well just being inside your house doesn't make you safe was very scary for me yeah it does the robot lady from superman three count because she know gave me the yips in a major way why would she she's like a mecha zombie she's like a mechanical zombie right that's a robot just then i guess all robots are mechanical zombies in a way i have a fucking i have a fucking room but in my house is it do i need to be afraid of this

for you or i don't i don't want to do this didn't make it scary to make mystery science in a three thousand to know that you're working with robot zombies i did have to bring it back from the brink so it was very scary the entire time but luckily they only feast on other robot zombies jonah i'm currently performing a comedic one-man show in new york come on out everybody it's gonna be not me what's it called oh shoot i thought we could play i thought we could play a little bit in the space sorry just in time the show is called oh i didn't see you all there oh that's fun how would you guys start your one-man shows what would be the first line is you know in the neighborhood i grew up there sure were a lot of characters uh griffin how would you start your um

well it's tough mine would entirely be pantomime and just sort of movement so it would sort of start with me like laying perfectly still on the stage and then um doing what could only be described as human blossoming which is dancing to the theme song from bossam if i remember that is the beginning is yeah it's anybody's gift i would just start with like 700 sundays i couldn't believe that there were that many sundays back to back to back and then i would just recite billy crystal 700 sundays uh verbatim just the fart bit though you do an extended version of the fart bit right you mean city slickers have you seen 700 sundays i've seen city slickers well 700 sundays has a real long fart

bit nah now luckily for us uh we don't actually have to know anything about things just randomly reference them thank god i'm sure he's a i'm sure it's a delight that's not he's a consummate professional hey billy's a friend and a fan who i'm sure is listening right now so please uh okay so the question is it's a storytelling show about my bar mitzvah and struggles with mental health what are some ways i can actually get butts in the seats a publicist online ads skywriting thanks and good work on the satellite of love and that's from one man in manhattan who i get i did can i say something i just want to do i do i have to point out the very obvious um one good way would be to get a free mention on a fairly popular podcast and maybe just just toss that

name in there huh just get that get that old name that an old name in oh yeah uh so one man shows i know i've never done one really uh you you want to make flies want to make physical flyers like if i the thing with like doing a comedy show is it's regularity and i'm sure you guys it's the same thing with podcasting if you kind of stay on the schedule it does help a lot just the the consistency of it uh but yeah do it like i i'd say and you know kurt brauner a few times has tried skywriting to promote stuff uh it never really works as well as you think it would because the everything starts to drift away you know chemtrails and whatnot sure of course no tell us more about chemtrails let this be your your appearance your ronda rousey 911 truther uh

appearance i wish sometimes i knew more about conspiracy theories to be able to joke around about them but as far like that's as much as i go i go for chemtrails i go yeah look at those chemtrails man the boran controlling your minds i think that's all i got that's a lot it's more than i did i can tell from googling i think it's called my bar miss for brunch it's at the people's improv theater um yeah pit where we did we did on the pit we did three shows in one day yeah that was a bad move we did you did three shows in one day well i did six uh yeah we just didn't schedule good and we were young and foolish so that all seems good good advice well we didn't do it we didn't really say anything at all you know make physical flyers make flyers uh put it in like the

neighborhood uh don't rely too much on you know you want to do your facebook ads i guess but uh i'd say make a cool-looking flyer put it up in the coffee shops in the bars around the area find some community corkboards mobilize people you know if you're like hey tell a friend that like word of mouth is how do you keep that like how do you balance that between like trying to get people you know to come like as a favor versus you know how do you keep from leaning on that too heavily you don't i mean it's it's tricky i mean if you know anyone that performs in any kind of like it's a stand-up a band or anything it's just it's like you don't want to over use your favor you want to help you like you want to pick one night that you tell all your friends to go to

i don't know i try let's say i try like when we were starting the meltdown uh emily said oh should i get a facebook invite going i said no no i don't want to do that because i get resentful when i see something like a facebook invite coming in all the time for a comedy show it makes me actively not want to go to the comedy show there that that resistance is there like when i i lived in chicago for a year and i i knew a lot of folks who were like doing doing stuff in chicago like a lot of folks who were doing stuff in chicago and if i went to all of their stuff it'd be literally all i did morning noon and night um and so yeah is that a big deal in in comedy circles generally people like whether or not somebody came to your show or whether or not you went to their show is that like

a a big an etiquette breach yeah right yeah it can be it's like you want to go and you want to you want to support a show you know there was a there was a big thing every time uh you know someone would when we were doing the meltdown it was just uh it's like oh yeah i'd love to do your show and you we would kind of just go yeah come and hang out you know your your you know comments are always welcome to come and hang out with us at the show um and it that would kind of show that they they like you know wanted to be a part of like our little you know the thing we had going on which was like you know a growing group of friends putting on a fun comedy show every week but there was also the other people that would hear about they would just hear about the fact

that it was a popular show and then just asked to be put on without really putting in any effort it's like that you know we had a different idea coming into that show than just your average you know comedy show and and we didn't we didn't need to like uh there's a lot there's another kind of currency for shows where it's like if you have a show and someone else has a show you can kind of there's this idea of swapping sets it's like hey i'll put you on my show and then when you say that you're essentially saying please put also put me on your show um but that you know but if someone has like a show that's really good and someone has a show that's really bad like all of a sudden the the discrepancy between the value of those sets becomes an issue but it really

is it's like if you support a show if you go and you hang out and you're you know you're you're not a dick it's uh it's a good way to just get on a show because it'll be like hey you thanks for coming and hanging out yeah we'll put you up next week something like that now what if you have never done stand up and wouldn't know how to do stand up and don't feel like working on jokes can i still comfy but but you but you feel like you might be pretty good at it somewhere yeah this is my recommendation to you go to a commie show start heckling the comic tell me you can do a better job hope that they bring you up on stage oh yeah by saying oh you think you're so funny let's see if you can do it and that's when you break it out that's when the moment of inspiration and with that

without the help of your magic skateboard you're able to do the best comedy step that's how we stand upset ever you have your word for word is how cherry seinfeld got started yes yeah i did stand up one time a single time win where what yeah well it was a valentine's day fundraiser um where they have local quote unquote local celebrities come and do jokes and uh it's a competition shouldn't have should have thought through that i worked on my set for a long time a lot of local jokes you know like a lot of local references yeah and then there's a great blank apache line which is local jokes gets you a local work uh wish that had been the case for me that would have been grand because i did get beat by a guy

who works at a used car dealership around here who i think was just reciting a billing volbit it's impossible for me to tell i'm not you know uh but i did get beat handling i mean like and this wasn't like when i was he got i was fucking like six months ago like i was it was absolutely miserable oh so you got a tv show huh well let me show you how the big boys do it and uh i got i got beaten pretty badly so that was i feel like i contain like i know it's important to bomb early in your stand-up career to build up that like a thick skin i think i did it all sort of in one one night i feel like i i that was really that was really enough enough to prepare me for anything is there anything you have that you can break us off even a little just like even just i know i'm

asking you to be very vulnerable right now is there anything you can break off it was mainly about how long it takes you to get into a restaurant here in huntington i mean that was basically the thrust of the the bit um it was all kind of in my noodle i don't think i wrote it any of it down i'm sorry you literally have to be there to get the job i mean yeah and apparently not even that is enough uh how about another question here um some tv shows now are playing pretty fast and loose with the decomposition of their zombies at what point does it just become a spooky skeleton man and would you say there's a significant difference between a zombie and a spooky skeleton this quandary keeps me up at night mostly because the nightmares are spooky

skeletons and that's from mark i don't think you should ever get near a xylophone if you have the thing with spooky skeleton man the thing with zombies is that uh they still you know they need they can't it can't just be a skeleton walking around because there's no uh flesh or muscle mass to move uh you know the the limbs around that's just science that's just anatomy and science 101 yeah yeah exactly that's why um uh running zombies also side note can exist because if you you die and you come back um as a zombie you still have the same you still have the same muscle mass you had right when you died so when your impulses to go to something as fast as you can to eat it uh your body's gonna take you there as fast as you can but since you are dead

the the muscles will tear and not recover and therefore that's when you start to get that zombie the slow zombie shuffle i see i've never thought about this before i've thought about it too much do you think jonah are there some zombies that are faster than other zombies based on how fast they were in life i'm sure i'm sure like yeah uh i'm sure if you were a good runner good at track or the track and field game um uh for nintendo if you're good at the track and field game for nintendo you could like do the essentially the super bowl shuffle in place very very rapidly but that's about it and that's i mean that would be entertaining to see a shambler do i think it would be a shuffler at that point it would be a shuffler yeah oh we got shufflers over here

we don't take to your Yankee shamblers i i get what this question asker is saying though because like it feels like the walking dead sfx team is like um they're just nasty and i i imagine there's conversations they have all the time they're just like look at this new nasty thing i learned how to do this one doesn't have a butt and it's like whoa you made that one not have a butt and and so they're just like competing to see who can make the most nasty sort of skeletal and i think this is going to result in like what season seven or eight just a literal skeleton chasing rick and the gang just like this doesn't make sense clankity click click clank i that that effects team which is the great nicotero effects team can't be which uh he was uh he was uh like an apprentice to

tom savini who's like the modern maker of zombies and um there's there there is that that element within the effects community uh that where it's just everyone's like it's everyone's just trying to one up each other with everything that's what i i still really enjoy about uh the walking dead is that every episode you watch even if it's like story wise not the best episode you will see a thing that you've never seen before in regards to zombies so just thinking about zombie deterioration you could outlast a zombie apocalypse if you hold up long enough and like we're able to stay out of harm's way would they deteriorate to a point where they were no longer a threat i'd imagine so but then it would just kind of almost become like uh landmines or they might

you know fall winter would come and they kind of get pushed into the ground and then if you know your kid just kind of running around a forest uh and then you kind of you're sitting down and all sudden one kind of is able to come up and reach you you just spook me Jonah you just spook me with your words it's very possible and then and then it could start all over again also remember this is all fake yeah that's another thing i kind of know how to breach the subject of but like i know you spend a lot of time thinking about zombies have you ever gotten on amazon late one night and made a purchase with your money or taken any sort of action like physical action to say like well just in case i yeah i mean my wife have uh we have bug out bags in uh in both of our cars

and also um it's i say it's for the uh the impending california earthquake but it's also a little bit inside the back of my head of zombie contingency plan i just got lacyc so in the case that you know uh i lose my glasses or anything like that i still have my vision i i will say i'm sorry travis you can't start talking yet just move on from that because jonah just said he took on an expensive and painful elective surgery and they see dropped his glasses while the zombies were attacking him hey did you know that they had an interview like what's why you want to do this jonah uh i just want to i think it'd be uh a handsome i think it'd be that yeah that's it i think it'd be more handsome if i didn't have my glasses all the time i think i i think it's

actually quite the opposite i think i'm weirder looking without my glasses but but it's a price that i'll pay it's uh it's not that painful and then it's um imagine this uh inevitable nuclear war you know uh it it takes out everybody and then you want to read all your books you'll have you'll have time you'll have time to read all your books no glad you will not live in fear of your glasses falling breaking and not being able to read your precious books you can't smell your burning flesh during the procedure and that's not ideal that's a turn off jonah that's a turn off so you're here's the thing you're walking around with crutches my man you got crutches and you're someone says you you know with the technology you have with lasers uh we can easily make
