My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 414: Hogsplash

Episode Date: July 10, 2018

This one's got the summer stink all over it. We're talking about those PRETTY fireworks, talking about getting brave for amusement park attractions, and singing us some ice cream songs. Also, Marilu Henner drops by so that Justin can apologize for accidentally shouting towards her face! Suggested talking points: The Most Beautiful Firework, Rollercoaster Bravery, Havin' a Hogsplash, Hot Chocolate Truck, Special Guestpert: Marilu Henner

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, welcome to My Brother, My Brother Me, an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-est brother, Travis McElroy. I'm your sweet baby brother, Griffin McElroy. So, today's the 5th of July when we're recording this, and the question on everybody's mind is,

it's a 5th of July tradition. What is the most beautiful fireworks that you saw yesterday? I love sitting around a circle with you boys and talking about all the great fireworks we saw, and talking about our favorite ones. It's a favorite family tradition of mine too. Yeah, every year. Every year. And honestly, probably the audience is sick of hearing about it, because every 5th of July episode for the last eight years, we've done this. Yeah, so I got my list. My list, like I do every year, got it in my excel spreadsheet, and I saw 10 sparkly white ones. I saw three big blue ones. They didn't have any purple ones this year, because I guess they have to mix the blue and the red powder, and it's kind of wasteful,

but I did see, did I just say the red ones? I saw like 14 red ones, and yeah, it was a good show. They had like a whole red period going, and then they did one, SpongeBob one. Yeah, they did. Griffin, did you see any of those where it kind of spreads out, and you think, oh, that's done, but then little fireworks fire off from the ends of the one that just spread out, and it's like two fireworks in one? The double. The double I saw, only one of those, because again, time is pretty tight, but then, of course, at the very end of the show, I have here my notes, it says they really just busted in a nut up there, and just really went, wow, I tried to count them all. I was like, there's a red, there's a white sparkle,

there's a blue, ah, damn, and then my pastor got upset, because I cussed right in front of him. How many did you guys see yesterday? Mine is eight. Fireworks. Fireworks, I don't want it to be a kind of a braggy thing, but I saw eight fireworks yesterday. Well, you know, here's the weird thing, Justin, I only saw one, but it was the most sustained firework I had ever seen. It was one firework that lasted for an hour. Yeah, and you would think like, oh, a firework that just kept exploding for an hour, but actually it was like, it exploded, and then the image kind of walked around and like, talked to people, and just kind of, yeah, it was, I honestly don't know how they did it,

but it was just like an hour of sustain, and it had like, personality and could like, answer questions and like, answer questions from the audience, because a lot of fireworks are too fucking stuck up. No, this is really a firework of the people, and like, by the end of it, yeah, we were like, oh, okay, that's a firework I got to have a beer with, you know what I mean, like, the sponge? It was great. I had a similar one with the SpongeBob one I saw, where I saw it from the front, and it was him, you know, waving high, but apparently I heard some reports from folks in the neighboring neighborhood that when you looked at that firework from the backside, his butt was hanging out as a prank, I guess. Oh, okay. Yeah, so the

fireworks people got sued by the city for $100, and I'm worried about them, but yeah, glad you asked. I saw about 32 fireworks at the show, and then I still wanted more fireworks, and so I came home, and I sat down in my thinking chair, just sort of my imagination station, and I closed my eyes and pushed up on my eyeballs, you know how you can do that, you push up on your eyeballs, and then I did, I made like, more fireworks in my, like what I saw there in the darkness. Do you ever do that? It's fun, and you can pretend, you can make pretend that it's, you know. I did that one time too hard, and pushed my eyeball back into my brain for a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's where all the best fireworks are,

but don't do it at home. We should say pretty, pretty clearly don't do it, but you can make pretend that there's a little fireworks guy in there shooting off his own stuff. Did I tell you guys about my favorite fireworks I saw last year? What was your favorite one last year? It was a big Calvin, and he was peeing, and they had positioned it so he was right above a Ford truck dealership. Oh, that's awesome. And it was great because it looked like he was peeing on the Ford truck dealership, and his piss set it on fire, and the whole thing burned down. Oh, bad ass. Yeah, it was amazing, dude. But it was heavily insured. So like, in fact, I think they might have even done it themselves. It might have been arson, now that I'm thinking

about it. It might have been firework-related arson. I need to go talk to some people. Can I ask a question? Uh-huh. Why does Bill Waterston hate the Ford brand as much as he does? Well, it did him wrong. Done him dirty. He bought it bad. He's a Chevy man. But he didn't used to be. He used to be a Ford man. He bought a Ford truck, and he got it home, and he looked in the back, and it was full of snakes. People always say Bill Waterston's in hiding, but for me, it's like, if I was making as much fucking coin as this dude must be of Calvin Peeing stickers, I wouldn't be working either. I'd be cashing the checks and thinking of like, call my assistant. Like, I got a new one.

Think about this. Sure. Ready? Instagram. He's just an Instagram logo, Calvin being on it. He's like, anyway, talk to you in the next quarter. Here's the thing, Justin. Everyone thinks that Bill Waterston is just like a recluse in hiding, but actually, it's just that his Ford truck is so unreliable, he can't drive it into town. And he's like, fuck, I wish I could go cash these checks. I can't get to the bank because my Ford truck won't start. Fuck this truck. Bill Waterston today tragically found buried in checks. So many. This is unreliable.

If only I could get into town. God, I need to express my hatred of Ford in some way. He can't even buy a new car. Can't deposit? Yeah. Yeah, his Ford truck won't start, so he can't get to the place where you buy a new one. So the only way he can give you the displeasure he has about the car that he's been saddled with is by making more of these hilarious stickers. And you know what? Every day he's just on his knees praying that someone will come and pick him up and take him to the bank. So he can deposit. He just gets down in front of the cross and he prays that he can go deposit his checks so he can buy a Chevy or a Dodge. I know what you're thinking. Can he just write a note that says

please come rescue me? The answer is his publisher only wants Calvin stickers. So that's the only way he can communicate. There was one time where he tried to draw Calvin peeing on a note that said please come rescue me. But the publisher saw right through that. Yeah. Do you only ever hear the story about how Charles Schultz, who loves Coca-Cola so much, did one of Charlie Brown taking a dump on the Pepsi logo? And then he took a really hard look at it and he was like, I can't let anybody know about this. He threw it in the garbage, but I found it. So if you're wondering why Griffin has a signed plaque at the Smithsonian thanking him for his generosity. Gosh. And it's right next to that Charles Schultz piece. I begs the question,

is there a brand you two boys hate so much that you want to put a sticker of a child using the bathroom on your car? Because I got some brands I'm not a big fan of and I'm hard-pressed to think of one. I think it'd be really fun and I don't know on and off the top of my head, but to find like a brand of like toilets. Yes. And use that brand because then it's like, well, does he hate it or is he endorsing it? Huh? That's, that's fucked up. If it's just him using a toilet on your truck, right? That's no good. That would be, yeah. That would be messed up if the brand that you chose was American Standard because then it's Calvin peeing. You're going to race some eyebrows, I think with this bad boy, because you're going to get Calvin peeing on the words American Standard.

And I think a lot of people are going to have some issues with that. They like to discuss even private. At this point, is that logo so recognizable that you could have Calvin peeing on Calvin peeing on Calvin peeing and like just kind of a circle of them peeing on each other? And then you're like, wait, does he hate the brand of Calvin peeing? It's about the futility of anger. It's about the futility of like vindictiveness because it's all, we're all peeing on somebody and we're all getting peed on by somebody. So that's great, Trav. Yeah, it's pee all the way down if you think about it. Sure, it's all piss. It's all piss. I don't want to, I mean, the only company, I don't think I'm mad enough at any, AOL I was very mad at,

but that's just a husk, right? That's not, that's not anything to get worked up about anymore. I would do Bush's beans because it's like, tell us already. Griffin, that dog just died this week. What? I didn't want to use the podcast. Are you fucking kidding me? I didn't want to tell you this on the podcast, but the Bush baked bean dog died this week. That stinks. That's not a good energy to bring to the show, Justin. But you know what? I think the thing that he would want most is for people to keep talking about him. You're helping to keep his legacy going. Let's celebrate his life here and get to our first question. Do you think like right before, like as the, as his soul was going into its great eternal reward, he was just like,

a bit of manning. He just like slipped away. He yelled it back across the rainbow bridge and flipped a bird to the mean Bush's man. God, I hate that guy. Can we do a question, though, instead of talking about a dog that passed away more? I do want to talk about the Bush's baked bean man, though. I will say this and then I'm going to let him off the, off the hook. If you watch these commercials lately, this dude has gone through a transformation in, in, in recent years. And I just saw an ad and I barely recognized this cat. You guys know what the Bush's baked beans man looks like, correct? We're all agreed on this. Okay. I'm going to send you his new look. And if you're at home, just like Google image Bush's baked bean man, and you're

going to find this, this pic. This is what this cat looks like now. We've got shaved head, full salt and pepper. But he looks awesome. He does. Cool jeans. He looks radical. And I think that he, he like got so sit sat tired of the only people talk about is like asking about beans. He just want to get his look extremely on point. It's fucking great. Good, good being living right there. Is that a beard? I think even Travis would be like nice beard. That's a great beard. Is this a beard that I want to see eat baked beans all the time? Not really. No, it's the opposite. He's not getting high in his own supply. Justin, are you kidding me? Fucking kidding me. You think he just sits in his office tearing into his own beans? Can't get jacked on beans again. No, he's got to get the

product out there. I'm just saying he used to dress like, uh, uh, like, did a real fucking dweeb. He looks dope as hell. We've spent a long time now talking about a dog who passed away and then a picture of an attractive man who used to look like a real dinkus. So is there any other sort of radio poison that we want to do instead of the show or should we do a question? Yeah, that's fine. He looks good. He looks good. I don't regret. He looks good. Oh, you're going to bring it back up again. Yeah, it feels a little bit like they're trying to give bushes baked beans sort of a hipster handmade feel. But this may just be this dude's style. I don't know. I don't know. Get at me if you're a listener. Bushes baked beans, man. I want to look cool. The people waiting online while

I'm riding on a roller coaster. Any tips for how to seem cool or not scared after I get on the ride? Hmm, that's pretty. That's from Zach. I think that if you can talk about as the ride is pulling out of the station about how your dad built the ride and so you know all the twists and turns that are coming up and the rides twists and turns and corkscrews and spins are just second nature to you. I grew up on this ride. This ride, you know, molded me from the clay and I won't be scared by it. If I scream, it'll be because I just want everybody else to get hyped up. Because I love my dad so much. Because I love my dad very much and I want people to know how much I love his work. My hand prints are in the base of the column on the world's tallest loop that I'm not scared of.

Not scared of it. Maybe like when the attendant comes by to like do the lap bar and belt, you just say, no, thank you. No. And really like double down on that. They will make you. And then when they try to make you say what and like make a big sink and then get off the ride and leave and like I have never had to deal with this. Yeah. They always let me ride without. Yeah. And then you're like, wow, that guy is so cool and unafraid. He didn't even need the lap bar. And then when they tried to make him, he was so opposed to safety. He left something like this maybe, but you put your three year old son on your lap. You say like, he's a lap kid, whatever. This is for children. This is a baby ride. I love my beautiful son and that's how unafraid

I am of this ride. This is a baby coaster. This is a baby coaster for kids. Could you, as you're pulling out, pull out, and you can do this no matter like what your situation is riding solo, going with a duo, a squad, whatever, pull out an engagement ring in a little box. And then right as the ride starts moving, kind of lose your balance and kind of fumble with it and throw it back into the crowd as it pulls away and be like, no. And that's not going to make you seem brave or cool, but it is going to distract them so much that they're not really going to be thinking about how brave and cool you are. What about if you, as the ride is pulling out, you whip a crossword puzzle out of your back pocket and then you put on sunglasses and then

from a speaker that you have built into your heart, two millionaires riding dirty. Oh, that's good. And it's kind of a combo. It's a look. I mean, it's in a sack. Light a cigarette for the ride. When the ride's about to start, you pull out your laptop and you ask the attendant what the Wi-Fi password is because you need to work on your screenplay. That's good. Yeah, that's very good. Pull a big hot bag of spaghetti from your jacket and dump it into a plate that you have in your back and just on your back taped there like a, you know, the gun and die hard and you pull that out and you drop the spaghetti and you look in the crowd with your cigarette and your sunglasses and your crossword puzzle and you say, anybody

got a fork? That's it pulls off. Yeah, pretty good. I do like that. Maybe pull out like a pillow and a blankie and just like stretch out in the seat for a map and you're like, ah, this is where I feel most safe. Just have a soldering iron and that you're warming up and it's like, I just have some light soldering to do. So I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone because that's how unafraid I am of this ride. Pull out a clipboard and like a pen and on the clipboard at the top of the piece of paper, you have like printed out like a roller coaster checklist and you're just like, let's see. Let's see how this does. And everyone's like, oh, he must be some kind of roller coaster inspector. That's good. Oh yeah, it could be like a, it could also be a list of all

the roller coasters in the country and you're very afraid of them, of course, but you've checked off all but this one and you show it to everybody proud. This is the last one and then all have written every roller coaster across these great United States. And you don't even have to ride them because how are they going to check that? It's uncheckable. That's a very good lie to start telling. Like I've written every roller coaster in America. Because if anybody tries to push you on it, it's like, tell me about this roller coaster. Well, there was a part where we started to go up a hill and then we kind of sat there for like half a second. We thought, what's going to happen now? And then we went down the hill and they're like, check this out. Or more simply, just like, I don't,

I can't remember individual coasters. I've ridden every coaster in America. They all to, it's my great burden that I can only enjoy roller coasters holistically. I can never stop walking this land. My soul can never rest. Do you think if you're the, if you're a person who's ridden every roller coaster in America and you see a new story about like new roller coaster opens up, you think there's a party it's like, ah, fuck. Oh, great. I want to go to Duluth. Fantastic. Cool weekend. I just retired. Please no. Every time we name a town or city of any size, we get lots of tweets from people who are psyched that we mentioned them. Although sometimes we say it in a tone of voice. Justin just said Duluth as if a bee had just flown into the room and he was like, ah, Duluth,

I have to deal with this. Like Duluth is probably really good. Well, that's the problem, Griffin. What he was saying was Duluth is too intense and like, I don't know that I'm in the mood to be able to handle all that excitement and joy. Sure. Well, I picked it. I picked it because Duluth has the adventure zone canal park. Oh, that's fun. I want to drag them a little bit. How about I got who? Stop stealing our shit, Duluth. All right. Fuck, you're in our sights now, Duluth. You're on notice. This one was sent in by Nick. Thank you. It's yeah, who answers user. They're anonymous, but I'll call them Duluth asks. When I'm sitting on the toilet, metesticals, sometimes maupinus, hit the water. Is there any way to adjust the toilet's water

level? If we could do this in a way that doesn't get too crass, too blue, I don't even know if that's possible, but this person's got a problem. They're touching. And I believe in the UK, they call this having a hog splash. And I want to be able to tell them something. Now, as possible, they're having a hog splash because they got 10 pounds of hog and a five-pound bag. It could also be that the water in their toilet fills the bowl up all the way. Do you know what yeah, that's the problem. All the way to the top of the bowl, just a foot, which is bad environmentally speaking. I do. I like very much that this person's first is lower the water level where I think I would probably be over complicated at first and try to design some kind of sling or

hammock that would still leave room for my business. Yeah. Take care of my business, but also cradle my package in such a way that just kept everything dry. My brother Travis wants to poop with his pants on. And we all understand the dream, Trav. We'd all love to poop with our pants on every day. Listen, if I could get that measurement right, if I could figure like the right ratio out, I'm not saying I wouldn't. Sure. Yeah, similar vein. An anonymous user here did not best answer. Actually, nobody got any points on this one. Just a lot of stinkers. But an anonymous user said, booster seat. I got sick of wet dick. Booster seat. Booster seat is cool. Is it, can you adjust the toilets water level?

I don't know that much about plumbing, but I think it's sort of a one size fits. It has the right amount. I mean, it has the proper amount that it stops filling when the, I mean, bulb floats up and stops the water flow. It's got the right amount. It's calibrated. Yeah, fuck it up. The last thing I wanted to, you know how hard it is to fix a toilet? It's not hard, but for the purposes of this, let's pretend it's hard to fix a toilet. You think, you know, how hard it is to fix a toilet? Now you're going to go break one intentionally? No, thank you. I'm having a weird, my brother, my brother and me scenario in which I actually know how to answer this, but it's not funny. Get a smaller tank? No, you fill up a two

liter bottle full of water. You seal it up. You stick it in the back there and then acts as a displacer for water. So not as much water fills up in the incorrect. It would displace the water in the tank. So you wouldn't need to fill as much water in the tank to fill the tank. Well, okay. Let me ask you this, Travis. I don't, okay. In case you missed it because Griffin edited it out, Travis just gave a 30 minute dissertation on why this would work. And I disagreed with him on the premise that if I thought it would be funny and then it wasn't. So that's why you didn't hear it. But I don't think that you want to start, I understand that you think that displacing the water in the toilet tank would help fix this problem. Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't.

Do you really want to get into like the inner, at some point, someone made a decision that this is how much water it needs to do the things that it does. And I don't want to be in a position where I'm playing judge, jury, and executioner on, on water levels in my potty. I need it to have all the water at once. You know, I just feel like maybe we all just need bed days. I don't mind getting a little water on my business on my own terms. If we could all just never talk about our genitalia again. That would be so good for me. I don't know what I was thinking, including this one. It's just, I think maybe I just wanted to say hog splash. I have a problem now that summer has begun. I frequently ride my bike up and down my street

during the good weather for some class exercise. What? However, since, wait, hold on, what? What is class exercise? Maybe it means like classy, extra class exercise. Classic? Classic exercise? Some classic little fashion exercise. Okay, whatever. However, since it's nice and warm, an ice cream truck frequently visits my street too. I found that both of us, me and the ice cream truck man travel in the same direction. When this happens, I turn around and head home cutting my workout session a bit shorter than I'd like. I would try to pass the truck, but I don't have a stamina to maintain more than five to seven miles per hour for my entire street, approximately 3.5 miles. What should I do in the circumstance when we meet again?

That's from Gmail. Please don't ask us to do long division when we're trying to do our comedy show, please. I cannot even like map this question out in my noggin. The problem is that this ice cream truck goes approximately the same speed, actually maybe a little bit slower than the bike. So when you meet up with them, it's one of those awkward situations where you can't get around them, they can't get around you. And now you're just like best friends with the ice cream truck, which doesn't seem that bad to me. Like maybe what you do is you just roll with it and you get them to lower the window. You do maybe a great coupon joke to break the ice. Oh, yeah. And then you find out sort of what they're all about. And now all of a sudden you got ice cream truck drivers

need friends too. You think that they don't because they have the coolest, coolest job on the block, but like, yeah, dude, fuck yeah. Especially if you could finally discover for me. No, let's really, I feel like you just got it and loved it, but you didn't. You had the coolest job on the block, ice cream? What do you mean? There's someone on my block that has a snow code truck and it's always in the driveway. It has been 100 fucking degrees. And every time I see it, I get so mad. Like get out there. You just want to do your job. What are ice cream trucks doing in like February? Are they like getting on like big like cross, like cross transatlantic like ocean liners and going to where it's still hot? Are they like migrating? This week on my

brother, my brother, me thrill as the oldest brother, explaining to Miller brother about seasonal businesses. It's audio poison says. What's ice cream truck driver doing the rest of the time? Selling hot chocolate? Are you just... It sounds like... That's a good pretty cherry kick. A hot chocolate truck. Yeah, and then in the spring he sells lukewarm apples. In the fall, it's all leaves, pretty ones that he found. Not a lot of business. That's not good time for business because people can like pick them up anywhere. They can get them anywhere,

but he put them in a ziplock bag. Get your pine cones. Don't walk around all day collecting your own pine cones. I'll give you a bushel full for five dollars. God damn, I wish it was hot. Fuck. Global warming can't come soon enough. Give it to me. Okay, first off, let's talk about a hot chocolate truck because Trump's rotted up and now we have to live here for a second. Uh-huh. What? It would be hard to drive around on icy streets, Justin. Yes, driving on icy streets full with a boiling hot liquid. Stanny in lines is another one that you don't necessarily want to be doing in that sort of temperature. You don't want to stand in line, but the good news is there will be no demand, so you could probably roll up with

him. Why? Why weren't you outside playing? Oh, I'm getting a little far. Oh, hey, it's the hot chocolate truck. You know what I mean? I think you would do a lot of business. I'll tell you this, if it was an open sort of dumpster that they were hauling, that was just chock-a-block full of this hot brown stuff, and then the smell was wafting through and just there was a thick marshmallow layer floating on top, and you got that in the air, too. I would do anything to man, you just couldn't. It would be a sort of speed situation though where you just couldn't break or else the cab would be destroyed. Drenched in that beautiful brown goo. Hey, listen, that's a good option for you, actually. If this truck was having to stop more for local kids,

you could blow their doors. Could you put some flyers around the neighborhood? Don't put any logos on it because big ice cream will come for you. Just like a flyer that says, yum, ice cream, coming soon. And you know what I love about that, Justin? What you love about the first third of it? I don't know. Go ahead and tell me. I'll tell you in a second. I didn't have an outro. Okay. Thank you for saving me. It's mutually beneficial. This is an accrual prank you're playing on the Ice Cream Truck Man. The Ice Cream Truck Man is going to do more business. Do more business. Yeah, right? We need more answers like this where it's not like, oh, you're going to like fart in their face and run away. But it's like, here is this,

how do you fix your problem and their problem? Because if they are maintaining a speed of five to seven miles per hour, they are not selling their ice cream. That's right. They're blit. Yeah. I don't know much about ice cream trucks. They're wasting gasoline. It ain't a business on the go. They ain't chucking it like the paper boy. Listen, you guys help me write, I want to hear your flyers for ice cream. And remember, no brand names, no logos. We're not going to jail for this. We're just trying to gin up some interest in an ice cream truck that's coming through soon. So what would your, what would your flyer for ice cream say? Love hot chocolate trucks, but miss them in the summer? Good news.

It's great, Dan, because you get a lot of cross promotion for your summer and winter business. Yeah. Yeah, it's just the pine cones. I don't know how you gin up interest in those in the pine cone business. My flyer would be very, I mean, sex cells. So I'm talking about a hot bot like Ryan Philippi, holding the cone of, it would be soft serve, which would be probably false advertising because they probably don't have that in a truck, but you know, dripping, dripping down the, the nuts and just as like creamy and then an arrow to where the truck is at any given time. I don't know how that technology works, but yeah. In a print, in a paper, I don't know how you, yeah. I tell you what I do, I'd be a lot more effective than a flyer is I'd probably

write lyrics to the ice cream truck song that plays and just be, I think most of them do, do your ears hang low, but I would write sort of ice cream themed lyrics. Like, do you want ice cream? It's a creamy, creamy treat. It's so creamy, soft. It's so creamy, sweet. We got it's a kadoozies. We got push pops too. Come get your ice cream. Don't go to school. Okay, well, all right. Come and get your ice cream. Eat it with your friends. When you eat ice cream, the cream never ends. Come and get all the ice cream that we have in our truck. You are going to love it now, you are, you're going to love this truck. Okay, just kind of just rhymes with truck.

Come and buy all the ice cream. It's a dollar if you want it. What are you doing? What are you doing? What? He was like great. He was remixing. He was being your like hype man. Trying to like hype it and remix it. You can beatbox alongside the truck too, this song. Oh, that's what the, yeah, bicyclist person. You're going to be this ice cream truck's hype man. Yeah. You could also sing. It's really fun to make up ice cream lyrics. Have you guys ever tried to make up ice cream lyrics to do your ears hang low? Juice, you want to try make up ice cream lyrics? Yeah, I'd love to do that. Do an ice cream song to do your ears hang low. Do you want some cream? You said just dreamy, screamy cream. In the chocolate flavor or vanilla

bean or pistachio is good, but not as good as brown. Brown? That classic ice cream. Do you want ice cream before you even ask? Yes, they do have brown and it takes you to task. It's a tastiest flavor. It's a color. It is too. And come get your brown stuff. Come on, doodle-doo. Do you have brown? Sorry, we're all sold out. No. It's the only one we mentioned by name in the ice cream song. Let's get the money done. I want to tell you all about Stitch Fix because, hot damn, I have got some nice shirts. I've got some real nice clothing from the Stitch Fix. A lot of my wardrobe now. I'll tell you what, I never really prioritized fashion in the summertime. It was more of a fall, winter,

early spring thing for me. I like a long pant and a nice button down flannel or sweater, but I didn't really do it in the summertime. Stitch Fix has fixed my shit right up because they given me the short sleeve shirts and really nice shorts and just good looks all year round. Just because a sense of style can be elusive for some doesn't mean it's impossible to attain. You can discover the style you never knew you had with a little help from Stitch Fix. You're saying there's some questions about your sizes, your favorite styles and budget, and your personal stylist will hand select five brand new clothing items just for you. I'm on like a four box streak of keeping everything. They have got my shit dialed in. But if you don't like something.

Another thing that I really love about Stitch Fix is because of that personal stylist thing, there's a consistency to it, not just in quality, but I just went to Louisville this past weekend and hung out with some friends and I got compliment on my outfit and I realized the shoes, the pants, the shirt, and the jacket I was wearing were from four different Stitch Fix boxes. They all just work together so well. But if you ever get something you're not feeling, you can send it back and shipping is free both ways and you only pay for what you keep. You get your fix whenever you want or you can sign up to receive scheduled shipment. So hurry to stitchfix.com slash my brother to get started now. If you keep all five items you receive,

you'll get 25% off your entire purchase stitchfix.com slash my brother. I also want to tell you about Audible. I am an audiobook fan, no lie, no joke, no exaggeration. I prefer them to books, to reading. And let me tell you why. In this day and age, I find it hard to find time especially like with BB and with driving around and you know just living my life hard to find time to like I'm going to sit down and find time to read. But I can put on a you know I can put on a book while I'm driving. I can put on a book while I'm working and listen to it while I'm typing away working on stuff. And not only that, there's something I really love about listening to authors read their own books especially when it comes to like memoirs and

like that kind of thing. And Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks on the planet will let you fill your summer with more stories. Like here's, I will tell you, I was on a Sarah Val kick. I highly recommend wordy shipmates and strange fishes and Lafayette in the somewhat United States. If you enjoy like the characters from Hamilton, you will enjoy Lafayette in the somewhat United States. And plus, Sarah Val reads the book mostly herself, but also like the the quotes and stuff are the parts, you might say, is done by like other performers. So like John Hodgman makes some appearances in there. John Slattery makes some appearances in there. It's really great. Speaking of John Hodgman, Vacationland is a really really good one. How do you

book? You guys have any that you are thoroughly listening to Room to Dream, the the new David Lynch memoir, which he wrote with a traditional memoirist, I guess, I'm sure you say. And then he writes like the response to the traditional memoir chapter. And so it's like you get you hear a professional memoir person say, talk about the first years of David Lynch's life as a young boy. And then you hear about David, David Lynch tells you a long story about when he hit a dead cow with a pitchfork and hit himself in the head because he bounced right off for about 30 minutes. So it's it's fantastic. So go to audible.com slash my brother or text my brother to 500 500 to get started. Amazon Prime members can get audible for just $4.95 a month for the first three months.

This this first one is taken credit for for the number is a new to the scene YouTube channel where four friends play video games, really dive deep into what can be considered a playable game. If you care for comedy and quality content, they've got it all. That's all of it. That's all those two things is it. That's really great. If you like a lot. Oh, no, they don't say a lot. So if you like comedy and quality content, and they can't guarantee a lot of it, then you're great.

They have all of it, though. Where is that credit for it's just search YouTube for taking credit for all one word. And you can catch it. It's also on Facebook and Instagram. I don't know why Justin didn't I just as beefing with with the but I'm not trying to like focus them down where this I feel like this is going to help them the most. I listen. You're right. They did say that in the ad. And I guess I should include that as well that it's on it. They're on Instagram and Facebook taking credit for all one word. Go follow and subscribe. Here's a another jumbotron. This one's for Beth Curtin. And it's from Nicholas Bale, who says hello, lover. Since our no, it's good. Since our first date in a board game. Yeah, since our first date in a board game cafe bonding over

the antics of the Mac Roy Bros. You've been an amazing part of my life for over a year now and have never failed to make me smile. You're an incredible lady. And I love you. Here's some many more days spent playing video games and watching silly YouTube videos. This is a nice sweet message and Charlie bit my finger is a great YouTube video. I don't know if y'all are looking for recommendations, but Charlie bit my fingers. Great. There's a kid and he gets bit. And I guess he's from like a different country because his voice is different from mine. And there's also history of dance. Have you seen the one with the cat and it's acting really weird? Like a cat doesn't normally. No, no, I've never seen that. It's really good. I think if you just

search cat in the YouTube search, you'll find it. Sure. So he's like, Charlie. Have you seen Charlie bit my cat? He does a whole series of Charlie bit my blank. And it's like, Charlie bit my textbook. Charlie bit my sandwich. That one's not that good. That's just a kid eating a sandwich. They actually have a live stream now where both the kids are 30 and they just bite each other for two hours every day while playing Minecraft. Still sound like that though, just like Charlie. Charlie. Charlie bit my style. Kind of a Christopher Walken, like Charlie bit me. That's Christopher Walken. They did one where Charlie bit my bite and that was really weird and I didn't care for it.

He tried to bite, but he counted it with a counter bite. It's a great injustice that Charlie with our finger has so many views and oh, fuck, I can't believe you've done this. Only has like a million. True. Yeah. It's not fair. He's from somewhere else too. We got one more Jumbotron though. Is that why I did it? It is. Okay. This is for current Jessica from past Jessica. Hey, Jessica, I know you're worried about a lot right now, but it's going to be okay. Everything always turns out all right in the end. If you just wait long enough, just keep waiting. And in the meantime, don't stop vibing and keeping it tight.

Also work on your thesis. That's great. Everyone should always be vibing it, keeping it tight and just getting ready for that thesis because you may not think you'll need it right now. It'll creep up on you. Oh, you'll wake up in the middle of the night. Your thesis ain't done due tomorrow. You're going to have a real Bart's nightmare on your hands.

If you didn't listen to our Margaritaville premiere debacle, was that fair? Calamity. Calamity, yeah. We had an embarrassing moment with Mary Lou Hinner, a beloved stage and screen actress Mary Lou Hinner, an author. We'll recount the incident in full detail during our discussion with you. That's a with her. That's a great thing to do. Actually, if you have an embarrassing moment with somebody, is to recount it in full detail. We don't need to do that because Mary Lou Hinner has a perfect

memory, but she was nice enough to come talk to us about that experience and give advice on your questions and so much more. So without further ado, here's our discussion with a special guest, Mary Lou Hinner. Folks, our very special guest for this episode is Star of Stage and Screen. American icon, Mary Lou Hinner. Mary Lou Hinner, welcome to my brother and my brother and me. I love you guys so much. Well, first of all, I love family and you know, you're just so funny. I just love your humor and I was saying to you before we started that my son, who's 22, just graduated from Northwestern, his friends, they all listened to you guys and it has definitely helped my street cred with his gang. So thank you for that. Mary Lou, your first exposure to our

wild, fun humorous sensibilities was on the Margaritaville red carpet, sorry, blue carpet and which I asked you what your favorite sea creature was. You said Ursula, a perfectly acceptable response. And then I screamed in your face for no fair reason other than I was very, very nervous. As if you were a football game that just was very excited that his team had just gotten a big touchdown or something. Well, thank you. Thank you. I felt like, oh, was that a funny response? I was being very serious. One question. What do you think the scariest sea creature is? Ursula from Little Mermaid. Yes. That's a good answer. Good. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Henry. Question. I think you were seeing there was Justin like a teapot releasing

some of his pressure of like being very nervous and you giving a very good answer. And so for Justin, it was just this moment of like steam escaping like, yes. Well, it endeared you to me forever. The day we'd had Al Roker screamed at us, the 60 minutes guy screamed at us, just yelling at our face. It was a very difficult, challenging day for everybody. Well, come on, you know, red carpets are crazy. I mean, everybody's screaming at everybody and you never know if you're in somebody else's shot or, you know, tape recorder or whatever, microphone. And so what happens is you feel like, oh, I just said that answer. Did they hear it? Did they record it? Did they, you know, is that why they're calling me over? And nobody asked me about sea creatures,

though. So you guys are original. So nice. Wait, no, hold on. Wait, nobody else? No. Nobody else asked you about sea creatures? No, they weren't clever. They asked the same stupid questions all the time. So you guys have to come to getting the band back together opening night, though. It's August 13th. We have to arrange that. You have to do that. Yeah. Now that you've seen what we can do. Yes. Like, it's, it's, we got, you got to have us. Oh my God. Now you've seen our raw talent on the red carpet. And the show is very much like, you know, about you guys. So yeah. The show's about, okay. Well, you wrote a show about us. You didn't even know. That's how fast I absorbed your, you know, sensibilities. You brought up your show. Can you tell us about it real quick before we get

into helping people? Yeah, we opened August 13th at the Belasco Theater. It's called Getting the Band Back Together. It's about a guy who gets fired from Wall Street. He had this high school band. They won the battle of the bands in high school. He took off for, you know, Wall Street. He now has to come back, live with his mom. That's the part I'm playing. It's, and she's an ex-rocker hung out with Aerosmith and a bunch of other bands. So she's excited to have him home. They have to do another battle of the bands to beat the guy again that they beat last time. So they have to get the band together. One of the guys is, is a dermatologist. One's a teacher. One's a cop. One has passed away. So they've got this 16 year old phenom. And you know, so it's a battle. It's really

fun. I thought you were going to say, so they've got a ghost. When you said it one passed away, I thought, and then there's a ghost bringing up the back of the band. No, they have a young guy who's ridiculous. I hope he's got a long contract because they're gonna, you know, he's, he's, he's a phenom. He is. And the lead singer of the, of the band is, if you guys remember Keith Stone from the Keys of Stone ads, I was so excited to see him back in the biz. And also, um, A Rock of Ages, he was in Rock of Ages. Oh, he was in Rock of Ages. I didn't realize that. He's so good. Mitch Jarvis. He's amazing. He's just amazing. We should, uh, we should hop into the questions before we do. Did you get some good ones? Did you get some good questions?

We did. Thank you to our listeners who sent some good ones. And in the, in the interest of full disclosure, we should mention we have spoken on the phone before also, and it took all of about four minutes before you had us talking about our actual sex lives. So I'm kind of buckled up, strapped in, ready to, ready for whatever, for wherever this goes. Okay. So you, we, uh, asked people for questions about memory and posing for a great photo because these are the things that we are, uh, completely wholly ignorant of. So we have a, a wide array of questions. I'm going to get into the first one. I have a really good memory, particularly for names and faces, which often leads to people saying, hi, I'm so and so nice to meet you. And me responded,

I know we've met before. And then we're counting in detail our last meeting. People are always taken aback by how much I remember. And I feel like such a jerk. Do you have any advice on how to handle this better? Is there anything I can say in response that'll make the situation less awkward? Oh, that's from, uh, weirding people out in Washington, DC. We use handles here on the show. So people don't have to reveal their, their shame. They really are. Okay. Well, first of all, maybe you should be tested by the people who do all the testing about a highly superior autobiographical memory. Cause it sounds like you're somebody who really has an incredible memory. Cause you know, here's the thing. Most people don't remember

anything. They remember eight to 11 events within any given year, which is really kind of sad when you think about how many days there are in a year and a leap year. That feels like so many events to me. I can't remember eight to 11 events a year. Mary Lou, I really live in the moment. You know what I mean? That's it. I mean, you hope you, you're living in the moment, but you can still record. It can still be recorded. We've just gotten really lazy about recording. Yeah. That's exactly what it is. I'm so lazy. Well, here's, I, I, this is what I think. First of all, you should celebrate the fact that you remember. And I think it's your tone. If you're very like me, me, me, me, me, me about the person like, Oh, you know, you're, can we, can we swear

on this? It's like, oh yeah. Oh gosh. Okay. So if you're like, fuck you, I remember you. You don't remember me. That's not good. You know, what you should probably do is you should probably just be like, Oh no, remember this and, and, and, and try to prompt their memory. Cause here's the thing. Everything anybody's been through is on their emotional hard drive and they would, will remember with a little prompting. So what you have to do is prompt them and sort of do a little memory, you know, trip together. You know what I mean? It's like really fun when you get somebody going with their memory rather than taking like a superior position. So let me get this straight, Mary Lou. You say, we take the person, we look at the person's eyes,

we take your hand and we, and you say, I know you think I'm a stranger to you, but I'm going to take you on a memory journey with me. Get in the back seat. We're going together. Philadelphia, 1987. Do you smell these? These are french fries. What does this remind you of? Or you just, you know, you kind of have fun with them and stuff. I love doing this. People always, until I was on 60 minutes talking about having an unusual memory, people always thought like, man, I must be really special to her, you know, but everybody's special to everybody. We just don't always remember that. So I think you should celebrate it, get them involved in the remembering and don't pick up on their, you know, don't insult them and then you won't pick up like

you're being insulted. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Don't, don't insult them as a pretty good general rule for other stuff too. I found, you mentioned getting tested for the like super autobiographical memory and I was curious, is there a sort of Hogwarts like procedure where if you find out that you do possess this superpower, you get to go to like a special academy and hang out with other like super memorable people? Well, there aren't that many, there aren't that many people who have it and we've only gotten, a few of us have only gotten together once, but it's funny you say Hogwarts because people. And you remember every second of that meeting. Yeah, the most remembered meeting ever. Yeah, it's fun. I mean, you know, if you, if you're, if it's

something you're born with, you sort of celebrate it anyway. But it's not like you go to Hogwarts, it's just that they do wire you, put you through an MRI and take 300 measurements of your brain and they also put you, they see how the neural pathways fire up and it's pretty crazy, you feel and then when you see the MRIs, they're pretty nuts. That's actually what the sorting hat is doing. It is actually, it is actually giving you an MRI. Yeah. I have a question for you and if you can't answer this, I understand, but once your memory thing became public and came to light, how often have you been approached by intelligence organizations trying to recruit you as a spy? That happened? Have you done any spying for America? No, I wish. I wish. I wish somebody

would like to use that part of my brain, but you know, they have me memorizing lines instead and singing songs. You definitely, you definitely couldn't tell us even if you were. Yeah, that's definitely the answer you would give even if you were. Yeah. Here's another question. They say, hello, I just had to get my photo taken for the author's jacket flap on my first published book. Oh. I never get my photo taken. Any advice on how you look so great in your pics and that's from LCO? Okay, here's my theory on taking your picture. Do it a lot so that you're not freaked out when you only see it once. There are times when the lighting is bad, it's the wrong camera angle, you don't, you know, you hate the photographer, the photographer shoots

late, so you're coming down from an expression. I mean, probably the best advice I ever got about taking a picture was from Burt Reynolds, who told us all the first day of evening shade that we all took pictures together. He said, when you take a photograph, you look into the camera lens and you feel like you want to fuck the photographer. And because if you do, no, because if you do, or I guess he's, there were little kids, so he said, you want to, you know, you love the photographer. You want to hug the photographer. I bet, I bet he still said fuck. But it's like your eyes soften, you look like, you know, your, your face is relaxed, you feel like you're playing to the camera. So it really is important every time you look

at the photographer and you feel like, I want you. How often do you get your photo taken? Oh, like how many times a day should we do this? Probably yesterday, at least 50, 60 times. Wow. Oh my God, I'm so far behind. You know what you have to do? You have to do it a lot. And here's the thing, think of like the middle of the photograph as something that you turn into. So if you're on the outside, let's say you're on the right side of the frame, the camera, you know, the camera's pointing at you and you're, and your right hand is, you know, you're on the far right of that photograph. Camera left, but no, yeah, camera left, but, you know, facing right. Okay, I got it. I'm holding my camera up. You got it. You got it.

All right. Always tilt your body sort of toward the center, because that's going to be better than if you turn away. I learned that from going on The Tonight Show and things like that. You always cross the leg toward the host, because that's the center, you know. So I'm posing in Skype. Is it sort of like this and kind of across arms? Well, first of all, you're by yourself, so it's a little different, but also you should face the light. I don't know how to get another person here. I got my cat. Okay, I see. I see what you're doing. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so let's say, yeah, what you do is you, you sort of move toward the center. You angle your body toward the center, I guess, for me. But you can't see my biceps that I'm flexing there. If I turn,

I lose the biceps. No, put your body, but put your biceps like square, square off your biceps to the camera, but put your tilt your body. No, you're to the exact opposite. This is good radio. I will say, I feel very much like the listeners right now. I'm getting a wonderful audio experience. Here's my advice. Stop using filters, because you're going to be so fooled by them. What you have to do is you have to just find the right kind of light and experiment with what your better side is, your better lighting is, because and try to stay on the inside of the picture rather than the outside, the people further out are always going to look distorted. Just a follow up visa v looking like you want to fuck the photographer. For this specific example of getting your photo

taken for a book sleeve or book cover, is that going to be troubling to the people who purchased the book and open it up and say like, let's learn about the author. Wow. They really look like they want to have sex with me, the person who's reading their book, because that carries over to every other person who sees the photo. Yes. Doesn't everybody want to feel like they're wanted? Of course. I mean, you don't have to use the foul language, but you want somebody who's inviting to you and someone who looks like they like you and someone who feels like they're comfortable and their eyes are soft. Come on. You're going to start looking at all photographs and saying, did that person feel comfortable with the photographer? Are they sending something to

the camera? All right. You know how there's this thing on Twitter right now called BDE? Do you know? Yes. Okay. Let's get into it. I'm completely ignorant of it, Mary Leonard. What is BDE? This like, this bugs me. All right. Let me just type. So there's this whole thing about people who have, you know, big dick energy and they're talking about, oh, but women can have it too. All right. First of all, why don't we call it something else? So for years in my family, because I have two brothers. I grew up with two brothers, three sisters. We have always called it PF. It's PF. That's what we call it because it can be male or female. PF. PF measures the sexual quotient of somebody and it doesn't matter what they look like. It doesn't matter what their age

is. It doesn't matter anything. It's like, what radiates from them that makes you feel like, wow, that person really has it. And you can talk about it in a movie sense, like, oh, those two had no PF together or a restaurant. Wow, that restaurant devoid of PF or, wow, there was so much PF in that room. Okay. And what PF stands for? Not BDE. Oh, yes, please. Can you guess? I don't want to. Can I say things on this show? I can't. Say all things, yeah? So I'll tell you the F is for factor. Popcorn. I think I need to know what it is. Was it popcorn? Was it popcorn? No. No, it's penis factor or pussy factor. Okay. Yeah. And now you have to never say it again. Okay. Or pumpkin factor. No. Because I get a, I get a latte at Starbucks sometimes,

and I'm gonna think, I wish this had some PF in it. And that's just the pumpkin factor that they add. What about just pubic, just pubic factor? Hey. Well, it's not as attractive a word as the other two, I think. No, listen, it's definitely not. Yeah. Well, to certain people, I bet, like Burt Reynolds, I bet, would be a huge, for whatever reason, it just like resonates with me that he would find that very cool. So he knows about PF. Listen, there's kids around. So I'm going to say pubic factor. I have another question about memory here. Okay. And this is a, I would love the answer to this one if you have it. How do you stop remembering the most embarrassing moments of your life? That's from lasting middle school memories from Los Angeles. Okay. We got a lot of questions to this

effect also. Okay. Here's the thing. Memory is tied to adrenaline. So you always remember the highs and the lows. You always remember the good, great things that happened to you, whether like the birth of a baby or a marriage or the first kiss or a hot date or an award or promotion, things like that. And you're also going to remember all those low things, a bad breakup, anything bad that happens to you, being embarrassed, whatever, a death in the family, all the bad stuff, all the good stuff. It's when you really develop your autobiographical memory, you get to bring back all of those middle of the road memories that aren't really super tied to adrenaline. So that's why it's so good to develop that other part of you, the middle stuff, that your autobiographical

memory. And so here's the thing. You're going to remember those things, but what you have to do is don't back away from them. You know, it's like, if the more you see a scary movie, the more you understand like, okay, I know right around the corner, this is going to happen. And the less scary it becomes, people like back off from those memories and they don't want to look at them. But ignoring them is like saying, hey, I'm reading this book, something bad happens to somebody in chapter 10. So I'm not going to read chapter 10. It really informs the rest of the book. Did you have to work on your memory, Mary Lou? Or did you just like realize like, whoa, I remember a lot more than most people? Well, at six years old, I used to fall asleep saying,

okay, what did I do a year ago in kindergarten? What did I do in my, I was in my little brother Lawrence age, you know, and I just, it was so easy for me that I just kind of had fun with it and would do time travel. And I still kind of do that with my life. You know, if I'm having trouble falling asleep, I'll go through, you know, where was I in my second marriage? I'm in my third marriage. Where was I in my second marriage on this very same day? You know, or what was I doing when I was exactly to the day as old as my son or, you know, either of my sons? So yeah, it was something that I had fun with. It wasn't like I had to work on it. Wait, if we're raised tied to adrenaline, Mary Lou Hinner, are you just like jacked on adrenaline 24 seven? Like anytime we see you,

is that the deal? Are you just like pumping out? Are you like skydiving constantly? Sort of a Jason Statham crank scenario where you're just constantly stoked. You know, maybe when I was a little girl, my mother took me to the doctors and say, her clothes keep breaking at the seams. What's going on? And he said, she just has a lot of energy, her energy field. She just, you know, her BDE is just off the charts. Yeah, right. I have a question here. Let's wrap up with this one. Andrew asked, and this may be not great, but Andrew asked, what happened on April 25th, 1983?

Why is he asking about that date? That must be when he was born. That must be when he was born. Yes. Okay. That's what I think. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Okay. First of all, it was a Monday, April 25th, 1983, right? Yeah, it was a Monday. And I was shooting the movie, The Man Who Loved Women in Los Angeles. Taxi had just ended and I was doing my first project with Bert Reynolds. His name came up again. It was directed by Blake Edwards. And I played one of a group of women that was involved with him in the film. So there must be his birthday. Must be a special day. How about this one also, because that one was a shorty. Juice, you have the question list up, right? Yes, I do. It was a Monday. Holy crap. Oh, no.

That's amazing. You can't stop me. No, I was on a radio show and they were trying to give tickets away. And after 22 calls, you know, try to stop me. I'd say, just give away the damn tickets. My friends are going to be married and want me to officiate. Do you have advice for remembering a ceremony that's for memorizing minister? So that's like a little hard to like groups of work, like a big chunk of text, which I guess is not unlike, you know, monologue or real clear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, first of all, write it from the heart and write it in bullet points first so that you remember the really important points. And then when you write it all out, you'll have the connective tissue. And also one of the easiest ways to remember anything

is to like concentrate on the verbs because the verbs really tell the story. And so if you, you know, like lines or anything like that, it was always easy for me, but I always gave this advice to other people. Write it out in your handwriting. Danny DeVito did this all the time. You'd find his Louis lines like all over the set, not because he needed to look at them, but because he would write them out and they would become part of him. He always felt like having them, you know, putting them through his body and using his handwriting, they would become part of him. So write it out in your own handwriting. Don't just put it on, you know, if you really want to remember and concentrate mainly on the verbs, but maybe you should really give them my three

theories of marriage. You want to hear them? Okay. Yes, obviously. These are my three theories of marriage. The first one is marriage is like making waffles. You throw the first one out. Okay. Okay. All three of us here are on our first marriage. Then you have something to look forward to. Okay. Number two is marriage is finding that special certain someone you just know you'd love to aggravate the rest of your life because it's a little like, you know what I mean? It's like, you like spar with that person when you have a really good marriage. And then the third theory of marriage, Saint Exuberie wrote it, but I added something to it. You know, the guy who wrote the little prince. So this is what he wrote. You'll have a happy marriage when you realize marriage

isn't two people gazing longingly into each other's eyes, but rather looking out over the mountain in the same direction with their hands on each other's genitals. That's the part I added. Yeah. Okay. I did get that. It's gotta be vision and heat. Vision and heat. Mary Lou Hinner is getting the band back together, which opens August 13th. August 13th. Uh-huh. At the Blast. We start previewing though, July 19th, and there were great ticket sales and everything else. You know, not only on sale, but they have like great deals going on for previews, especially. And uh, get in the band back together.com. You can see that there's a great music videos and clips and you should hear of the show. Uh, all the clips that I've seen have been very fun and I

hope I get to see it very soon. But Mary Lou Hinner, thank you for joining us. We appreciate you being on the show. This was super fun. Thanks. Bye. Bye you guys. Bye. Bye. Well, folks, that's gonna do it for us. Thank you again to Mary Lou Hinner, our friend, and an amazing person. I may all around, all around amazing person. Go see her show, Get In The Band Back Together. It opens August 13th, I believe, but you can get tickets now. And you should because it has a great cast and a great, you can see music videos and stuff on the website. And I'm sure Mary Lou Hinner is great in it. We haven't seen it, but I'm sure she is. So, um, I want to tell real quick. So the graphic novel is coming out in like a week, I think. Oh my God. Fuck me.

I really like it. Theadventureszonecomic.com. If you haven't pre-ordered it, you can pre-order it now. I wouldn't wait too much longer. So get that. And we're doing a book tour. So first, let me say, the Cincinnati show is, I believe, July 18th. And that's the one, I think, where we're gonna still use some more people to come check that out. Fun way of putting it. Yeah. I like thinking about it like we're waiting for volunteers. And it's like, when we still need to interview more people, and that one. So if you want to come, the cost of the ticket also includes a book, a copy of the book, specifically our book, not just some general book. And we're gonna have some surprise guests at the show to help us with the reading. So it's gonna be super fun.

It'll be like a Q&A reading style discussion, not like our traditional sort of live shows for Theadventureszone, but mostly focused on the book. And you can get tickets for that at MacRoyshows.com slash tours also. So we are doing one of the book tour stops is at San Diego Comic-Con. And the venue that we got, you know, because it's Comic-Con and we didn't have a ton of options, unfortunately the venue we got to be able to get as many people in as possible standing room only, which is admittedly a bummer. But what we've done is we've set apart, it's in kind of three sections, three different levels, the bottom level, the ground level that's closest to the stage is going to be designated as like a sitting area so people can sit on the ground if they so choose, if that

would be more comfortable for them. So if you want to bring like something soft to sit on, do, but remember that it's first come, first served. So we can't guarantee that everyone's going to be able to sit there. But we wanted to have at least some room. We would also say like, if you're totally cool standing, then don't worry about it. Take one of the other two sections and leave room for people that need to sit. And we know that it's not ideal, but we really wanted to be able to get as many people in at San Diego as possible. So this is where we're at. So if you got tickets, it'll be nice. Yeah, it'll be intimate. It'll be like a fucking December's concert. You'll be like sitting there on the floor just like how, how like kinky. And also, there is ADA

seating. So if, if you need, if you need that, that's also first come, first serve, but you can call ahead to the venue to make sure and like work with them and make sure that there's room for you. So that is also available. We realize we are narrow casting pretty hard right now. But this is the first time we've kind of run into this situation. So we're trying to get the, get the word out. Yeah, we just want to make sure everybody has the best time that they can. We're trying to look out for you. And thank you for coming to the show. I should also say that we really appreciate it. It's going to be super fun. The San Diego show, all of them are going to be fun. I'm really, really excited about it. Oh, and also along those same lines, we're also doing a bunch of different

like book signing events at local places, like here around Cincinnati, around Huntington, around Austin. Carrie is doing one up in New York. You can find those two on macroshows.com slash tours. Yeah. Also, we are doing some live shows and we've been bam tickets are still available in Orlando and Atlanta. That's all at macroshows.com slash tours and Travis doing a bunch of con appearances also at SDCC and Gen Con and Dragon Con, a bunch of places. I'll post all of the schedule for that all on macroshows.com too. And also we got a merch store if you've never been to it or haven't been to it lately, we're updating it.
