My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 485: Face 2 Face: Haunted Munch Squad
Episode Date: November 13, 2019It happened. Well, a few things happened. One, we did a show in Orlando to make up for the time we had to cancel a show earlier this year. Two, in said show, Justin finally crossed the streams of his ...two wildly popular segments. Three, capitalism got the shot in the arm it’s needed for some time now. You’re welcome, everyone!

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?
Welcome to the Walt Disney Theatre. It's such a pleasure to be here. I'm your oldest brother,
Justin McElroy. And I'm your middle-est brother, Travis McElroy.
And I'm your sweet baby brother in 30 Under 30 Media Illuminary Griffin McElroy.
This one is going to have mad September first energy though, so don't sweat with that.
Are you guys excited to be back to school? I'm excited to see Angel has fallen the
top-grossing movie this weekend. Here's the thing though, Griffin, I can't go with you on this bit
because I didn't see it then and I still haven't seen it now. I don't think I know anything about
this picture. It's got Gerard Butler in it. Well, people keep falling. The White House fell and then
somebody else fell. This one has matured. We've had this one in the cask for two months now. You
mean this episode, not Angel has fallen. No, no. Quick anecdote. One sort of side effect of us
rescheduling this show is I didn't give it the old sort of shoe leather investigation to make
sure the date didn't clash in my personal sort of sect of the McElroy family and it did quite bad,
which is a long way of saying that I'm traveling alone with Henry this week or this day. Yes,
it's been very sweet and very fun. I've never traveled with him to a show by myself before
and we had good bonding time on the airplane when he bicycle kicked a can of apple juice on to me.
But the flight attendants, like the whole crew was like ooing and owing over him the whole
time because he's a cute little guy. And at the end of the flight, packed up all our stuff,
stood up and the flight attendants were right there and he looked up at them and he said,
I love my daddy. And they were like blown away. They were like, oh, you got to hear this.
And then he pulled out a little stuffed bigfoot that he has who he has named Gregory.
And while they were so blown away with his sweet interaction of how much he loves his father and
they're like, what dope shit is this kid going to say next? He looks up at them and he says,
Gregory doesn't have boobs.
It's fine. The speed with which their delight vanished.
Because if they're looking for a causal relationship between those two sentences.
And it also, especially, it just assumes they know who Gregory is.
They're not going to logically be like, the bigfoot must be Gregory. Who else would he be talking
about? Bigfoot's Gregory. My favorite thing that BB said recently is we went to pick up the dogs
from daycare. We went to pick up the dogs from daycare and they said to me, oh, you're Lily's
daddy, Lily being my dog. And BB said, he's my daddy and his name's Travis. And she said it
exactly like that. I was like, okay. I had a good flight too. We can all tell stories because this
is going to be, I think, the longest show we've ever done in our entire lives. We're doing everything,
not all this is going to make the cut. I did. I had a good flight too. I tried to watch the
new Jumanji for the third time. And I have this weird thing where every time I try to watch it,
I get filled with existential dread about how I'm spending my minutes on earth. Yeah. And the
rock, the problem is the rock directed dresses me. He's like, Justin, are you sure? This is how
you're going to spend your minutes, huh? Okay, pal eyebrow. You can't see it up there, but I'm
doing like, and it's perfect people's eyebrows fucking stuff. And he's also flexes pecs. Yeah,
I'm flexing my pecs. Okay, are we ready to start? Okay, yes. Read on me, piss boys.
It is I Disney's newest acquisition, the riddle master. You got bought two, huh? Yes, I'm in phase
eight of the Marvel movies. Could there be a scene where Spider-Man kills you?
I would love that. Okay, Spider-Man. That'd be a huge get for the riddle master. Spider-Man takes
off his gloves and is like, I want to feel this. I know. When I strangle you to death, I want to
feel your pulse slip away. Oh, slow down. Hey, it's Spider-Man. And he's strangling the riddle master.
He's my favorite character. So here, this was sent in by Hazel.
I was going to say thank you, Hazel, but I wouldn't have meant it.
Do you think it kind of suffers second real master? Yeah. You know, Batman has a rule about not
killing people, right? Yeah. Do you think it's weird that he's like the only superhero who has
to like, come out and say, I don't kill people? Like, you think about it, most of them have that
assumed? And Batman's the only one who repeatedly has to say like, I don't kill people. Listen,
I know about my everything. Yeah. I know the whole, my whole tease looks like I do kill people.
Spider-Man does it like the Green Lanterns never like, I don't kill people. Like we know. Yeah.
You're just green. It's not a big deal. I kill people. Sure, you do Green Lantern. Yeah. All
right. Maybe when you're parallax. I feel if we spend much longer in the riddle zone, my
fingernails are going to start falling out. Okay. In order for you guys to properly solve this,
I will give you a hint. You must keep in mind, this is a riddle that a human being wrote great
and submitted to a thing called riddles.com. Okay. And thought nailed it.
Once there was a boy and every time he does this, the audience always gets really quiet
and I know the thought in every one of your minds is, I'm going to solve this thing.
Right? Yes. I got you. Okay. And then it like makes it so quiet that you have to hear all of the
words that Travis says. Okay. Go ahead, Travis. There was a boy. Follow the clues. I gave you
all the clues, Mr. Feliz Man. There was a boy. Once there was a boy and he got a new hula hoop
for Christmas. If it didn't fit over his head and it didn't fit over his feet and he didn't
break it, how did he get it onto his waist? This one is constructed like a riddle, except that
it opens with once upon a time. Once there was a boy. If we can believe, if we can all buy into
that premise, I can continue. Is there, are there any additional details about whether or not the
boy can sort of fold into a non-Euclidean sort of. And he's not flat Stanley. He says that right
there. How did he, how does he get it on? I mean, it's going to be something wild. Like he cuts
his own head off. I mean, he wouldn't, if the, if the hula hoop had a manufacturer break in it
designed to unsnap so the boy could put it around him, I guess it wouldn't be broken. And that's not
a funny thing to say, but that is how the brains of the reals.com users work. So I'm trying to get
inside. These are both great answers. Once there was a boy and he got a new hula hoop, you have to
hear the whole setup and you have to remember that this was a riddle of human being wrote and
thought nailed it. Once there was a boy and he got a new hula hoop for Christmas. If it didn't fit
over his head and it didn't fit over his feet and he didn't break it, how did he get it on his waist?
It was all just a dream.
Yes. Yes. That's it. I mean, that's the end of riddle and he pissed. It has to be.
They can't get worse than that. It was just a dream. It was just a dream. That's the angriest
one of these has made me. Oh man. It sucks. I know now you've got to live in that world.
There's a part of my brain that was like, I can solve this. And now it's just like falling out of
my ear or something. It will never stop. No one can solve it for it was a dream. It was a dream.
Okay. Here's an actual question. Jesus Pete. I'm an engineering student at a wonderful university
nearby. It says here to say go Gators. And then some booing. I'm hearing some booing. Folks,
I'm just reading the words on the page. Justin could not care less about colleges or college
sports. The only team I care about is touchdowns and abbey. My fantasy football team that I'm sad
to report has been handed three consecutive losses because I didn't forget it exists.
I've just done a trade of some players for some other players that I think is going to turn things
around. I just assumed my friends in league would not have suggested the trade were not
beneficial to me. Justin McElroy. I'm an engineering student at a wonderful university
nearby go Gators. And I'm applying to grad schools this year. Pardon my grad school program would
be doing research and brothers. This is where I need your help. One of my professors at my current
university is studying monster truck rallies. With other alternatives including bridges,
rust and concrete blocks. This is clearly the best subject to spend two to five years studying.
Brothers, how do I convince my professor to put me on this monster truck project?
That's from becoming the monster truck. Are you are you are you here?
All right. Maybe right off the bat like if you're doing an interview with them you can say like
and I'm always free to work on Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday.
Something to show your natural. The other options are bridges, rust and concrete blocks. Wouldn't
it just be a soon that you want to get on to the monster truck project? This feels like a test.
It feels like a test to see if you're like ready to be like an actual like foreign monster truck.
You're not ready for this. You've got to love rust. Those things are things that monster
trucks drive over. It's like it's metaphorically they are bad subjects. Do you think that that
professor was the last one in line to like name the topic? And the first like three professors
were like bridges and it was like rust, concrete, monster trucks. And the first two were like
Will you be able to do proper research if you are a huge fan of monster trucks?
You're worried that by betraying if you say like hey you know my favorite food is stale
nachos. Do you know any good places for that? Oh the monster truck rally. Perfect. If you're too
enthusiastic there will be a natural bias. You're introducing bias into science.
And I would actually worry that if you said I love the stale nachos and the overpriced
beer they're like ah you're caught up in the trappings. We must focus on the pure science
of monster trucks. What do you think the study is trying? How cool are they? How cool are they?
How hey my study, well my study of the next two to five years proposes to answer is
how much ass does Bigfoot whip and why is he so much better than Carzela?
First slide. This is Bigfoot. You can see he's got huge tires which makes his name
fucking funny. Underneath them you can see Carz. He has smashed those. Next slide.
Doug you have been working on this for 10 years and we gave you a million dollar grand.
Yes that's why it says Doug's Bigfoot. I bought the truck for science. It's mine now.
And if you give me an A on your project you can all have a ride.
Do you think people who do the monster trucks after they smash the cars they ever get real sad
and they're like I love smashing those cars and I'll never get to do those cars again.
I'll do other cars but not like that. I had so much fun. It must especially be hard for
Carzela who's made of cars to crush other cars. It's like if my job was to walk on human legs.
Oh I'm out here just stomping on legs. If you drive to a... Sunday, Sunday, Sunday watch Travis
walk around and stomp on human legs with his big feet. If you drive to a monster truck rally
and you see a sign that says free parking extremely good and safe do you think there's
some party that's like no no no no no I've been fooled before. That's where they smashed them.
Yes you won't trick me. I think if you want to get put on this monster truck
project you have to just have a casual experience where you're watching monster
trucks on your phone and your professor of choice walks by and you just point out and say
this makes me feel nothing. This makes me feel nothing but scientific curiosity.
How about a yahoo from the Yahoo Answers Service?
This one was sent in by Teresa. Thank you Teresa. It's an anonymous yahoo answers user
who I am going to call. James asks, what are some good little presents I can make slash
get for an advent calendar? I have quite a few ideas but I'm sort of stuck. It's for a 20-year-old
guy. Any ideas? Help. I want to make sure this year is perfect. That age is so good for us to
make jokes about. It's a very good age. What I like is almost everything is for them 20-year-old
guys. Already yeah. Already so almost anything you buy at like a store they're going to be delighted
by. Like you could put in like a rolled up car magazine or something and then on the next day
you could open up and be like, oh it's Jolly Ranchers. Cool. Yeah. I love these. I'm a 20-year-old guy,
a regular 20-year-old guy. I love Jolly Ranchers. December 1st, pop it open. There's a Ferrero Rocher
in there. Hell yeah. December 2nd, you pop it open. There's Walking Phoenix's Joker.
It's me. It's me. Thanks for coming. It's a me. It's a Joker. Thanks for coming to my movie.
I'm going to dance on some stairs. I haven't seen it. I only know the one thing. He dances.
I haven't even clicked on mute the link. I don't know what the actual song he dances on the stairs.
I have done it. It could be Yakety Sack. It's actually it's Dancing on the Ceiling by Eddie Murphy.
I have YouTube to try to find the scene where Batman shows up and beats his ass.
Yes. But I can't find it. So thanks Warner Brothers for the copyright claims, I guess,
because I'm sure there's a scene where Batman shows up and beats his fucking ass.
I really liked that this question says I have a few ideas as if there is not a set number of
ideas one would need for an advent calendar. Right. If you say I have 21, you need three more ideas.
And you're sad. You could just if it's for a 20 year old guy, you could just
give a little spritz of different spray ax deodorants in each hole. Nice. And then when he
punches it open and breaks the seal or whatever, he gets it. He just has to rub the advent calendar
all over him. What if you did a life size advent calendar that was a house with 24 doors on the
front of that? Hear me out. No, because I don't think you have another thing. Because it's like
a big house and you go, but I feel like advent calendars are limited by size,
where if I could open a room and there was, I don't know, a cool tiger cub in it. What are you
fucking saying? I'm saying build a house for this 20 year old man to live in and there's 24
doors each opening to 24 discrete rooms. Yes. Okay. Is this the beginning of a riddle?
No, I'm just saying that this is something I would have liked when I was 20.
A house with 24 doors on it. Yeah, sure. Who wouldn't? All opening externally.
Minimum it's four stories. Minimum. And every morning you got to climb up four stories to get
your fucking chocolate coin or whatever. And if you need to go to the bathroom, you have to go
outside and come around to a different door. And remember which of the 24 doors it is. Every day
it's like December 20th and you're like, I hope this one opens to a bathroom. I've been making
I've been making dirt on the ground outside like a dog. Hey, listen, don't go in 12.
Promise me. Swear to me you won't go in 12. Eight is dope. Walking Phoenix. Joker is it?
I forgot to feed him.
That's all right. I ate chaos, I guess. I don't know. Is he coming like Dr. Robot?
It's Eggman. It's always Eggman to me. They just see who answers. Fuck, I'm excited. Is he Jim
Kerry? Play Dr. Robotnik. Sometimes when I get down, I think about I'm going to get to do that
and I get right pumped back up. I love Disney. Disney's not making that flick, guys. It's just
the question, okay? It's just a weird segue. I love Disney. I think it's really cool to have
your picture taken with the characters at the parks, but I get shy when I come face to face
with them. They're famous. How do I look cool in front of Tinkerbell? I don't want her to think
I'm a dork as from reluctant to meet Rapunzel. Are you here? Hello. This is a very real fear.
Yeah, no, you are valid.
Um, especially since you have picked one of the, I believe if I'm not mistaken, Tinkerbell is one
that's not like in a full suit. That is like a human being whose face you have to look at and
look in the eyes and say like, Tinkerbell to a human whose eyes you're looking in. Yes. There's
a certain level of anonymity and protection that the goofy, that the George Gief suit provides.
Thank you. One. And it is as such that when, for instance, my adorable two-year-old son is
trying to bogart all the hugs from a goofy and goofy literally stiff arms him to get him out
of the way for the other children, I look at that and I say, it's goofy and he's got to do what he's
got to do. If it was, I don't know, Aladdin, an actual dude, like, to fuck out of here.
Kid? I would have to have words. I go the other way. We're like, if my kid doesn't want to like
talk to Pluto, fine. But if like Ariel walks over and BB's like, no, I have to look at a human being
and say she hates you. Sorry. I like the ones in costume because there's always a chance that
that's the real one. You know? That's true. Real tinkerbell would be extremely old
and small and small. So that's not the real one. But it might be the real goofy. You never know.
How do they decide which ones is costumes and which ones isn't costumes? Because I
sometimes they guess wrong and it's sometimes fancy. Nancy is a is a weird,
bowel headed, Thanksgiving float of a person and it's like, I'd rather we didn't do this.
Hey, you know the one that's proportionally upsetting? Doc McStuffins. Yeah. We didn't think
about how Doc would translate into our world, huh? We were so busy thinking about if we could,
we didn't stop to think about if we should. I've watched my three-year-old who loves the show,
Doc McStuffins, see real life Doc McStuffins and not be afraid as a child might, but be afraid
as a full grand adult who's like, that's not okay. Well, you also don't think about the lack of
animation. Doc McDeath face is not great. Staring blankly into the abyss. We're not helping.
Yes. Let's go ahead and perish the thought that you're going to look cool in front of any of these
people at Disney World. And that's honestly true for any celebrity that you ever meet. If you go
into that with the mindset of like, I got to do something really cool and memorable. So this,
you're going to fudge it pretty bad. Your goal should actually be,
I want to be the most forgettable. Yes. I want to remember this myself. I don't ever want them
to remember me. Start with like, I don't want to get my human sweat on them. Yes. Achievable,
attainable goals. I met Tim Robbins once and my goal was not for Tim Robbins to walk away
thinking like, fucking, I would love to get a hang on with Justin. This is a purely one-way
transaction and Tim Robbins doesn't, my goal is to get the smallest little sliver of Tim Robbins
without him noticing that I'm, you want to touch the hem of his garment, right? I'm just peeling
off a little Tim to put in my pocket. Thank you, Tim. Delicious. It's like, we saw, we saw Julia
Roberts once at a restaurant. This is true. And she, she was like coming up and this doesn't
normally happen. This doesn't normally happen. These are the two. You could probably guess who
we were with at the time for this to transpire, okay? So she came to our table while we were
hanging with our dad, who she loves. And we all realized, as she walked away, she was like,
hey, commitment kicked ass. Yeah. We, we all, Merle's underappreciated. We all realized after
she walked away that none of us had shaken her hand or touched her. And we all looked at each
other and were like, it's because we knew we weren't allowed to touch Julia Roberts. Yeah. And
she definitely moved forward. She went, and we all goes, but that wasn't, but that was a fucking trap.
Yeah. And we didn't fall for it. Where are we on this question? When, when we, when I was a kid,
she's probably hesitant about handshakes because everybody's always trying to trap her hand in
the jewelry box. When we were kids and we came to Disney World, we were like on a tram or something
walking by and we passed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And I was so upset that I didn't get
their autographs in my little autograph book. So dad took the autograph book and ran back and came
back and had all their autographs in the book. And probably about seven years later, I had the
revelation of like, they didn't sign that dad signed that. And then another seven years later,
I had the revelation of even if they hadn't signed it, it was people in suits. Like it wasn't like,
oh, I didn't get Leonardo's pictures. People in suits, so it might be the real them. You don't,
you never know. Now, okay, here's this, here's a solve. They're tired of talking about pixie
dust and shit. If you look at them, just be like, Hey, are you caught up on succession or what?
Like, Hey, fucking taxes, right? Let's wrap about it. I think they would appreciate the respite.
Yeah. And they might try to do the thing of like, Oh, I live in Neverland. I don't know,
I'm like, Yeah, but you work here. They let you out, right?
They put you in a box when they're done with you at the end of the day. Right.
Tinkerbell, are you not paying fucking income taxes?
Oh my God.
Do you drive on public roads, Tinkerbell? Because, uh, how about another, uh, Yahoo.
Yes. This one is sent in by the prospector, Merritt Palmer. Thank you, Merritt.
It's, uh, it's an anonymous Yahoo answers user who I'm going to call Bradleyson asks.
Are you Bradleyson? Bradleyson asks, Why did Superman make his alter ego a nerd?
Seriously, he could have picked anything, but he went, he wanted Clark Kent to be a nerd.
That just doesn't make sense. What this question presupposes is that
he, like Clark Kent is an entirely separate individual from Superman. Yes. Yeah. Glasses
don't make, like he, it's the glasses aren't Jim Carrey's the mask. Right.
Superman probably did think that punctuation was cool. Yeah. Right. Right. He was like,
you know what? I fucking love the inverted pyramid. That's cool. I think I'm going to be a
journalist. Like Superman just is a nerd. It's not like when he's Superman, he's like lounging
around super cool smoking cloves or whatever. Yeah. Superman is not cool. He's many things. He's
not cool. I think it's just glasses. Like I love that you picked to be a nerd. To be fair though,
like I think I like up until this question, I've always thought about it as like there were two
options. He could be a nerd or like a super cool jock. Right. But there was probably some room in
there. Maybe he's like a tortured poet when he's Clark Kent. Maybe he's like a golf kid when he's
Clark Kent. Yeah. Cause that is, it is now he's a nerd who turns into a nerd. That's a bad alter ego.
We got to change one of them. We either need Superman to start like doing weed vapes and
playing frisbee golf or Clark can do that shit. What if Clark was just a crunchy boy? Yeah. You
know what I'm realizing? It's 2019. Yeah. Clark Kent in 2019 would, if he was like a member of the
press in 2019, he would 100% be identified as Superman within a week. Yeah. Like instantly. Well,
someone would dox him. Right. He would instantly dox him. It's like, okay, this is going to see
weird, but Clark Kent's address is the Fortress of Solitude. Yeah. I've found his medical records
and his allergies are listed as kryptonite. That's weird. Favorite foods, the sun.
I found his live journal that he talks about eating the sun.
I love it. It's Superman movies. Superman's like, ooh, the sun. His mind says just has
pocket full of kryptonite playing on the loop. Yeah. He would hate that song. He would hate that song.
That would be like me who don't listen to a song called, you know, pocket full of
Griffin Poison, pocket full of nacho cheese.
Gosh. I didn't like the Superman movies, the new ones.
And here's our next question. All right. Whoa. This has been, it's my hot take. I just didn't
think they were very good. This has been Justin's real hot takes, a new segment on the Ben Bam.
It's R-E-E-L. Yeah. I work in an elementary school fundraising and during our program,
students can work together to earn awards as a class. As I was reading the rewards to a second
grade class, I announced, you can earn a popsicle party and ask the class who likes popsicles.
Many students raise their hand. Wait, hold on. Just to clarify, a popsicle party is,
like when they hand out popsicles, or do you think that there's other events beyond?
In school, all you need to make a party is not learning. Okay? Yeah.
Not learning and some sort of sugar, any sweets. Right. Many students raise their hands as I
raised mine along with them. And one student looked at me dead in the eyes and said, no, you don't.
Assuming that I, in fact, do not enjoy this summer treat. How do I respond to this student to
inform them of the opposite without angering their teacher? And that's from frozen fanatic.
Are you here? Hello. Now, my gut reaction is to say to you, like, who cares? Like,
as a kid, who cares if you convince them you like popsicles? But here's the thing,
I know we live in the real world. And I know that the answer is everyone cares very much.
Because if a kid did that to me, even if it was a thing I didn't like, but I was trying to convince
them I did of like, yeah, vegetables are delicious. And they're like, you don't like vegetables. I'd
be like, they saw right through me. Well, and also, you're at your place of business. If there was
a seven year old up on this stage yelling shit like that that Superman yahoo shirt didn't have
the legs you thought it was gonna have Griffin did it. I wouldn't like that. Wait, hold on. Do
you like popsicles? No, you don't. You walked right into that.
Silence. Stand up. Don't it'll derail the whole thing. Maybe that listen.
Here we go. Oh, is it stuck? It's not stuck. Listen.
Just you and me now. Everybody else stop. Listen, listen, maybe this kid is trying to give you
a comma heads up to a truth that I'm ready to live you on it right now.
Popsicles aren't that good. Hey, listen, y'all. It's just a frozen drink. It's a drink that got too
cold and now you're eating it. What a drink gets cold enough that you eat it. I don't think so.
That's a drink. I'm a grown adult. I need a man's treat. Okay. I need an ice cream,
Sammy chocolate vanilla texture. I need a scooter crunch bar. I need layers of flavor.
Not a hard drink that somebody got a stick stuck in. Thank you. Griffin Griffin gets it.
It's a treat for children. Maybe that's why they said no, you don't because you're like I like
popsicles and they're like popsicles are ours. You get every, you can have beer. You can have
popsicles. Please. It's one thing. Hey, Mel, they get all some bias from being a parent. Every time
my kid gets a popsicle, the first time I hit his fuck. I've got, yeah. Fuck my popsicles.
When BB asked for a popsicle, I'm like, there's going to be a whole thing. I have a lot because
the kids never like better slam this before it melts and gets all messy. Now we have an inflatable
pool that we put out anytime it's popsicle time that we just kind of plonk Henry down in popsicles.
I just don't think you should get that word, but you should get into some other frozen stuff.
I've got some pamphlets. There's like lots of good frozen treats you get into. You don't just
spend time on popsicles. Unless it's a bomb pop because that's three. Somebody's into it. All
right. This three levels of flavor. That's a common adult popsicle. What about push pops?
Push pops. Okay. Here's the thing. Push pops are not popsicles. They're sherbert in a cylindrical
container. Right. It's a sher, it's a it's a sherbert gun. It's a sherbert gun for injecting
the flavor. It's a sherbert, a sherbert syringe. Right. Good transition. This one was sent in by
Emma Kant. Thank you, Emma. It's anonymous. Yeah, who answers user who I'm going to call
pre pre bis. Why is it always pre bis? I got Ryan's pre bis. Just I always get him out. Get out of
there. Ryan's pre bis. You're not welcome here. How about Brian's rebus? All right. This is by
Prince rebus asks if a chef invented a dish that contained every ingredient known to humanity
and then in parentheses, thousands would you want to try it?
Well, well, well, Kathy, you said you were a real chocoholic. This has chocolate in it. It
also has a a seabring in it. No, okay, wait, wait, wait, we need to draw, we need to wrap a
little caution tape around this crime scene. No one would ever look at a seabring and think
that's an ingredient. Except for Bigfoot, the monster truck that eats cars. It has he still
eats gasoline for fuel. He just crushes cars to feel like a big man. Okay, fine. It's got to be
something that's been in food, right? I can't dip into this dish knowing it's going to have grapes
and tires. Right. I can't. Here's the thing. I would want to eat it. But there's lots of dumb
shit I want to do. There's a hotel made completely of ice I want to sleep in. Right. It'll be bad,
but I want to do it. But if you're saying, okay, you can't say all material in the known universe.
Okay. It must be all matter digestible and not in any way toxic or poisonous or that rules out
so many different varieties of Doritos. So is prepared food an ingredient? Because I cannot
risk eating another KFC donut chicken sandwich. Yeah. Here's the date. Here's the condition in
which I would do it. Okay, they could take every ingredient. Have we decided what's in it? Yes.
It is prepared food, consumable food. If someone somewhere, no, I've watched my strange addiction.
If a normal amount of people somewhere eat a food, okay, it will be considered in this thing.
Can I get it without, can I get it without blue cheese?
If you order it ahead of time. Yeah. Because what they're going to do is make one giant
catamari domicile ball. Yes. Okay. And they're going to blend up. But here's the only way I
would eat it. I'm already on, I'm already on plating. Like I'm thinking about plating of just
like, because on Top Chef, they're always like talking to Tom Calico, like he's a little baby,
like, and make sure you get some of the radish and some of the sauce. And one of these times,
I want to be like, I know how to fucking eat on Tom Calico. There's going to be an ideal bite that
you get of food ball. This is what I'm saying. It has to be condensed so that they can hand me
like a ball that big, like a large marble that contains a particle of every ingredient. I don't
want to have to like imagine the alternative of they hand me like a medicine ball size thing.
Well, they give you a bucket and then it's up to you, whatever you can fill.
No, because then I'm just eating individual ingredients at a time. I went one bite to contain
every flavor. Oh, this is great. This is assuming that food ball is organized in some way. So like
if you're coming back, first of all, this thing's going to like if we plop this down in the center
of the country, because God knows it's America that's doing this. You put that shit in like
Kansas or something like that. It's going to like occupy a great deal of the state. So you come at
that shit, like from the southeast. Even if you just did one tablespoon of everything. Yes,
you roll up on like the southeast quadrant of food ball and it's like, oh, this is vegetables
town. Let's actually turn over there because I see flan zone over there. I want to check out flan
zone. Yeah, I was imagining like a double dare style kitty pool filled with slop. That's where my
head was at and why I was initially turned off. If it could be a ball that you could play with,
like a game. If I could pop it up in the air and catch it in my mouth and there's no blue cheese.
Well, in my ball, there's no blue cheese. I'll pick out yours. Thank you. If you pick out my
particle blue cheese and also the french cut green beans, I hate those things, man. But here's the
thing. Okay. All of you applaud if as you're thinking about this, you're thinking this is the most
like overwhelmingly flavorful thing you can think of. Okay, that was a trick. What if it all cancels
out? Yes. And it tastes like absolutely nothing. Tastes like hair. It's so perfectly balanced.
It's like white light. You know what I mean? It's all colors. I can't believe if we get like a
particle of talkies in there, you're not going to taste that at some instant. Well, that's canceled
out by like gummy bears. I think that's giving gummy bears quite a bit of credit. Maybe it's
lingonberry jam. Lingonberry jam cancels out talking. Maybe. How about another question,
Justin? Yes. My friend and I have a longstanding argument about the proper way to peel a banana.
I argue that since chimps...
I argue that when since chimps peel it from the bottom, that's the correct way,
but he claims that since chimps don't eat bananas in the wild, they should have no authority on
the matter. Who leads the way in banana eating? That's from the banana bamboozled in Orlando.
Are you here? Hi. Hi. Griff, do you have sort of a tight five that you want to open with here?
Oh, I've worked so hard, Justin, to excise that part of my personal brand.
Well, I am a staunch advocate for peel from the bottom.
It is the only way. You pinch it and you pop it. You pop it like a little bubble pop. I love that.
That's satisfying. And then I usually say then it's got a natural handle from the wick, not wick.
That's not what it's called. Stem. Thank you.
I say that, but also whenever I've eaten a banana, I don't usually hold on to the stem,
like it's a fancy teacup and oh no. Here's the thing though, what you call like a handle, I call
a zipper. Like that's that's the tab. That's because there's nothing on the bottom. On the top
it's a pull tab. The Lord our God, the Jesuit Christian God, the same one
that tried to thaw the show, put the banana handle right on there for humans to unzip and enjoy.
But the but the banana is all handle. You opened a pack of Dunkaroos and took the dunking cookies
and ate them and then put your tongue in the pudding and then just slurped it down.
That Dunkaroo kangaroo would show up and beat your ass. Yes.
To be fair, there are very few scenarios where a kangaroo shows up and it doesn't
then beat your ass. Yeah. If you open a pack of Kool-Aid and you up ended it into your mouth,
the Kool-Aid man's gonna come through and be like, oh no. Okay, but oh no, that was incorrect.
But you're talking about just fundamentally eating it incorrectly. That would be like just
taking a bite of a banana that sealed the peel on it. Okay, that's kind of a fun thing.
That's kind of fun. Sorry, I don't like to waste food. It's 2019.
It's not, but it's not. Here's the thing that this question, this question assumes that if a
chimps saw you eat a banana that way, they wouldn't be like, wait, hold on, what did you do? Shit.
Yeah, I should have been doing that. Hey, check this out, Bob. You pulled from the top. Yeah,
we have dominion over earth because we're smart enough to look at a banana and know how to do
it right. There's lots of things chimps do wrong, guys. I don't know. I don't know if you've seen
anything about them lately. It's not great. If we could cancel chimps, we would. Okay,
they're burly beasts and they're getting nasty every day. Also, this question assumes that there
is a correct way to eat a banana as though our Jesuit Christian Lord is standing up in heaven
going, no, from the top. I put it right there. You're supposed to eat it a bunch at a time. You
hold them all over your mouth and just lower it down. You squeeze it, it pops in the air. You
catch it and it's a big smile. Come on. And then you throw the peel behind you to try and kill
Donkey Kong. I tried to show you the way. This is going to be an odd transition, but forgive me.
Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your banana. It's Minion Quotes.
Oh, man. Minion Quotes is a terrible bit that I came up with as an accident and now I'm
stuck doing it and risking my personal safety every time we do a live show. It is the rare
kind of terrible where it's actually terrible for the one doing it. Yeah, for the one doing it.
We love it. Unlike Riddle Me Piss, which is fun only for the person doing it. Disagree.
Minion Quotes is a Facebook group with over, brace yourself, a million members.
And they have a lot of platitudes and characters with attitude and my brothers have to try to guess
what character matches. Travis, did you see this one? You have to tell me. The one with Donald Duck?
Okay. Okay. No, they know. Okay. All right. If they guess the cartoon character that is affixed to
this platitude, I have to post it on my Facebook wall without comment and I can never comment on it.
Folgophobia, the fear of not having coffee. I'm going to go for a safe bet here and say stitch.
Stitch is usually pretty good. I'm going to say Garfield the cat.
That's a minion. Sorry folks. Whoa. Minion. No, wait, that's the wrong one. There's another minion
later. Don't look. Folgophobia is a minion. Okay. We're going to try again. That's kind of a cheat
because you're not supposed to have minions in the minion quotes. Okay.
Wolf, I wish heaven had visiting hours like and share if you agree.
What?
I wish heaven had visiting hours like and share if you agree.
Oh my God. I wish heaven. Yeah.
Okay. Whenever my compass isn't pointing me in a certain way and it's spinning wildly,
I like to just say Taz. Taz. I'm going to say Snagglepuss.
Well, it's Jerry from Tom and Jerry. Wow. Holding a candle. Holding a candle, you say. I'm scared
about this one because I think it's the easiest one we've ever done. Oh boy. I don't want to do it.
All right. Save it for last. It's okay not to be okay. Some days are just harder than others.
Can I phone a friend? No. No. Eeyore?
God damn it.
Now folks. I can't. No way. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't.
I can't post this on my Facebook wall. I can't. This is such a bad one for him to share on his
Facebook. I can't put it on my Facebook wall. Eeyore, I'll do it for you. Hold on. Hold on.
No, no, no. You must grant me clemency, please Orlando.
No. No. I'm going to pick a different one that he must post. No, no, no, no. I've
fucking made up the bit. I'll fucking do it. Oh, that's so good. I'm worried on your behalf.
I don't want to do it. Imagine. Imagine if you did it. Imagine. You like us ostensibly. Please
don't make me do this. Justin, here's the thing. Quick poll. I'm just going to take a pulse.
Okay. It's shared. It's shared. It's shared.
We're going to take a break. We'll be back with you very shortly. We'll be right back. Thank you. Love you.
Hey, everybody. This is Griffin McElroy, the youngest one of them that there is. Thank you
so much for listening to My Brother, My Brother and Me. We had to put up our live show this week
from Orlando, our Makeup Orlando show. It was not our original plan, but things are a little bit
all out of sorts. We're about to go on this big long tour in the Midwest. Our regular recording
time was delayed and then delayed again because of a school delay here in Austin. So the fates have
conspired to have you listen to this episode today. But we're going to try real hard to record
another extra episode on the road that we can post. Not a live show, like a regular episode,
because we want to space those out. We don't want to do two in a row. So that's the goal. Sorry,
this one's late. It's been wild times over here. Hey, I've got some sponsors I want to tell you
about. First one is Casper. Casper is a sleep brand that makes expertly designed products that are
going to help you go to sleep and get good sleep. Have powerful dreams where you can jump super,
super high and all the food that you eat in the dream world tastes good. When the Nightmare Master
appears, you will have the super rod that you can use to shoot beams at him. So the Nightmare
King is going to die in the dream and won't come back. And the good thing is actually when you're
sleeping on the Casper mattress. And that mattress, by the way, combines multiple supportive memory
foams for a quality sleep surface with the right amount of sink and bounce. And also you can be
sure of your purchase with Casper's 100 night risk-free sleep on it trial. When you do kill
the Nightmare King with the power rod, he dies and everybody else's dreams too. So it's sort of a
big thing that you're going to do when you sleep on the Casper mattress. Get $100 towards select
mattresses by visiting casper.com slash brother and using brother at checkout. That's casper.com
slash brother and using brother at checkout terms and conditions apply. And I'm assuming most of those
have to do with what if the Nightmare King defeats you in the dream and then do you disappear in
the real world? And they probably don't want me saying this, but yes. Squarespace is our other
sponsor. Squarespace is the website one that gives you a platform that you can use to make a beautiful
website that you can showcase your work or sell products and services of all kinds,
promote your physical or online business, create a Frazier fan club, create a sort of protest website
when you get kicked out of your own Frazier fan club. And you try really, really hard to get people
to join your sort of offshoot Frazier fan club. But then people notice that you start talking
about cheers and about friends and how I met your mother on there. And so people will get
turned away. And so you'll have to start a new third website. Squarespace is going to help you
out the whole way because they give you beautiful customizable templates created by world-class
designers. Everything's optimized for mobile right out of the box. And they have analytics that help
you grow in real time. And there's nothing to patch your upgrade ever. Go to squarespace.com
slash my brother for a free trial. And when you're ready to launch, use the offer code my brother
to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. That's it for the sponsors. We will be
back next week. We're hoping to have a regular episode for you next week. It may be a little bit
delayed because we're not getting back in town from the tour until Monday, which is when the show
historically comes out. So yeah, we will talk to you very soon. If you're going to be coming to
the shows in Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Chicago, go ahead and send in your questions now. Send in
lots and lots of yahoo's, if you please, because we're doing a lot of my bim bam this week. And
yeah, that's it. Enjoy the rest of the show. By the way, I cut out a sad lives immediately
after the break because it lasted forever. And you're welcome. Hello, I'm Lou Johnson-Vigari,
and I play a bunch of characters on Mission to Zix, an improvised science fiction podcast on
maximum fun. And this is our incredible sound designer, Shane. Hello. Now, Shane makes it possible
for me to play a thousand billion characters in our galaxy, such as the Bajarian Shade, Ship of the
Stars, and the aforementioned way prepared to make pancakes. And please, let's get tested up, baby.
An emissary turk mannequin. Hey, I just got out of the ramp. And the horrible life.
Oh, also there are five other cast members, and we'll give them just all second to say hi.
Yeah, that's enough. Okay, so the season finale of Mission to Zix is coming out next week.
So it's the perfect time to dive in and catch up with our intrepid crew as they explore the
Zix Quadrant. So give us a listen to Mission to Zix on maximum fun.
Do not applaud for Sad Libs. It was only four minutes long.
Now, the problem is that when you
I notice a difference in reactions. Problem is
to do
I want a munch. I want a munch. Welcome to Haunted Munch Squad.
I did it, folks. Into the unknown. I crossed the streams and found a Haunted Munch Squad.
And here's my new segment, Riddle Me Sad. It's a little bit, it's a little bit late,
not quite timely, but I wanted to save it for you. I saw this couple weeks
ago, I thought only I deserve this.
Burger King unveils the ghost whopper for Halloween.
If you unveil a ghost, what is it? What's under there? Oh no, skeletons under there the whole time.
The Burger King brand has pulled off every taste on earth.
They mixed all the ingredients into one burger.
Hamburger, chicken fries, shit.
Burger King every day is on earth.
Street, dirt, worms, all of them, clouds.
This Halloween, they did one that's out of this world. The brand gave its new ghost whopper sandwich.
Made with spectral white buns.
They gave the ghost whopper sandwich made with spectral white buns to spirits.
Ghosts aren't out of this world. That is not a good turn of phrase for this.
Maybe they gave them the aliens.
The Burger King brand partnered with Riz Mirsa of Transchannel of International Renown,
who can turn his body into a vessel for spirits.
Holy fucking shit. The Burger King brand did this?
All of Burger King got together and they're like, oh this is Transchannel for spirits?
Of course. Yeah, give them a fucking ghost whopper. What do we care?
2019, we ain't got that much more time anyway.
Together, they conducted the spirit taste test in front of participating guests.
So the authenticity of this unusual experiment could be verified.
This is like, whoa, fucking just let, that's one paragraph guys.
We got a lot of show to get through.
Mirsa incorporated spirits from the location where the spirit taste test took place, the Alexandria Hotel.
Infamous for its phantom wing, which was created when an entire section of the building was
bricked off in the 1930s after several paranormal sightings, full of people.
The Alexandria Hotel was the perfect place to connect with the spirits.
After all, it's a location with a quote, very energetic imprint from the souls who died there,
according to Mirsa. This is a fucking burger restaurant.
When the master medium invited the haunted hotel spirits into his body, the souls from the other
side of the veil were able to taste the 100% flame grilled beef and freshly cut tomatoes
and the onion in the Go Swapper sandwich. In the brief moments they were on earth,
the spirits gave their own review. I'm in touch with your granddad. He hates it.
This one act has added several months to the lifespan of capitalism.
Like capitalism was going to fall apart like August 2021 and now like it's this one act is like
it's going to be August 2021 and be like let's fucking shut it all down. But wait,
Burger King did invite spirits to exist inside of a person so they could eat a special Go Swapper.
I can I say taste it to be like that's a ghost burger. All right. Can I say something?
I just told you guys they gave this hamburger to ghost to review and I was about to say the
reviews the ghost gave the hamburger and you guys are like let me get on in this real quick.
Let me say a few things. How would I tell you what the ghost said about the hamburger?
I'm in endless torture. It's beyond belief to experience this taste said one of the spirits.
No! Another one affirmed it's filth.
Wow! Another one affirmed it's filth. That is the most honest reporting I have ever seen
in my entire life. That one at Burger King was like do we have to include that in press releases?
Like it's about ethics in burger journalism. We have to. That's what the ghost said. If you
were sitting in a room and you're like this is the we've done a lot of just really bad PR stunt
bullshit in the past this is the worst thing we've ever done and you hear a voice clear as they say
it's filth. It's like we have to a ghost just talked we have to use that. That sounds like gotta be
a moment like are you sure the connection is strong because you maybe ask I don't know like
Elizabeth Taylor yet and what she thought is she dead? Yeah who knows. Okay others just didn't
know what they were holding in their hands because they've never seen a burger in their lifetime.
Fucking fair. Okay I will say this if they can't piece together bread with meat inside I'm glad
they're dead. What is this? What do you think it is? It's a fucking they had sandwiches right? Damn
ghost swap of sandwich is uh is a quarter pound of savory flame grilled beef topped with juicy
tomatoes for I don't have to read the ingredients. It's a burger. And so what did the um the guests
who were there have to say about all this? It was interesting to see what we could learn from the
spirits. These are tangible people. These are the tangible humans. It was interesting to see
what we could learn from the spirits said one of the participating guests. It's all bullshit a
skeptic in the group added.
Yup this is the greatest article I have ever heard. It's all bullshit a skeptic in the group
added. Fuck you Burger King said one man. Folks no spoilers do not talk over this next sentence.
It's all bullshit a skeptic in the group added however.
However whether we believe the medium truly helped the Burger King brand feed a sandwich to spirits
or not at least we know someone or something approved the taste of the ghost whopper sandwich.
So anyway that's the Munch Squad.
But also along those lot that logic someone said it's filled so also someone or something
didn't. Yeah just also before we move on to questions a real quick update I'm up to 224
reactions to my post on Facebook and you'll all be happy to hear that our uncle Chris has already
commented yeah whatever I'm not falling for this one.
Fuck oh man if you don't know the context behind this what do you think of my uncle Chris reading
that like whoa okay Justin's trying to open up uncle Chris damn damn dude oh Jesus okay all
right whoa my god we're gonna do audience questions now we're gonna you all sent them in
in advance so we're gonna call some folks down thank you all for sending your questions if we
get house lights up a little bit I believe we have microphones okay I'm Sydney see she her
hello okay so my boyfriend who I like very much and I always want to romantically dance with him
yeah by the way the mic got really loud right when you said that and it sounded like you got like
really intense I want to romantically dance with him
every time I try to do he tries to dance battle me every single time yeah and I need some kick ass
moves because he wins okay this went a different direction than I thought it was going to yeah
I thought it would be how do I make him stop but you're like how do I win yes well you've come to the
right place huh well the only way to win is not to play yeah uh god I wish you would ask the other
question because I haven't I can the flossing skit is really all I've got you know could you do
like a move where you kind of move your leg around real fast but just like a sure it was I didn't
have anything in mind it was just like an open-ended prompt a lot of people Sydney a lot of people
forget the elbows okay and maybe you could get more elbows in there yeah yeah move them one
at a time not both that's the chicken dance one at a time now we got something like do you move
both knees at the same you could okay don't do it right now is there a work shopping at because
we didn't have you sign a liability here situation that I let me ask you a question Sydney an answer
honestly please I wouldn't assume that you weren't going to don't lie you don't seem like a liar
would you prefer if you all romantically danced over this dance battle if you stuck with the
original arrangement could you have a romantic dance battle wait I want to hear the answer before
yes bits um I'd rather dance battle okay cool okay I didn't know I didn't know if this is one of
those situations I certainly have been at this point in my life where somebody's like hey we're
going to a wedding everybody's dancing and I just sort of wait for like a dance circle to form so I
can be technically saying I'm dancing but not visibly dancing really I whatever that happens to
me and I find myself on the outside of a dance circle the circumference of a dance circle I'm
like mentally preparing for the moment where somebody kind of gestures towards me and I can go
yeah romantic this is a true story romantic dancing is uh unless you do have lots of cool
moves which that's a whole nother kettle of fish if you're that type of person uh it's boring to
watch and do uh and this is not my brother's can attest to this during my first dance at my wedding
me and Rachel were dancing and I actually turned to the audience to apologize that we weren't doing
more stuff yeah that is a foreign showman my brother my first dance with my wife uh for our
wedding we got maybe 45 seconds in and then I realized like this song's like four and a half
minutes long yeah and I think then I said other people can dance too which is not what's supposed
to happen now my wife our our verse I'm out ours went on long enough that we were talking about
what we were going to have for breakfast the next day now would it have been better if my wife had
come in to do the you know middle school hands on the waist dance that we had agreed on with the
room for the holy ghost with room for the holy ghost if she had come in for that and I had done
you know the ducky would have been time appropriate I think in 2013 and then then it's
fucking on and I put her in the dumpster with my good skills now if you want to do a romantic
dance battle that's basically what I think the tango is I've never done it but I've seen in a lot
of spy movies where the couple will do it and they seem like they're sexy fighting while they're
dancing yeah they have a knife a secret knife right whoa you could introduce a knife yeah
that's one way to win a dance battle it does make well it kind of makes everything a battle
like that does that does that help the knife it does it's perfect thank you don't wait come on wait
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say oh no if you plug your podcast I swear to god
Sydney I was gonna plug yours graduation is really good oh thanks thank you very much thanks Sydney
all right who was first over here hi hello my name is Luke hi Luke hi Luke hello hello oh you got
some Luke got some Luke heads jinx some luke warbs you can't talk I know I jinxed you I'm gonna
talk did Luke did someone just call you daddy from the audience they said dungeon daddy I'm a dungeon
master okay all right dungeon daddy is probably already a term for something
what's up Luke okay so this started how you expected I'm sure you know I let's start over what was
your name my name is luke you seem like a real dungeon daddy luke thank you oh dammit
from hey from one dungeon daddy to another I recognize pass hard pass a boy a boy of a
captain daddy luke let's start over luke so my dad gifted me our family nativity scene and
it's a very fancy ceramic nativity scene how big are we talking is it like tabletop yeah yeah very
okay size not like a yard one no no okay um and I really don't have a use for it so I was planning
on selling it very cool to see if everything was there and every piece is there except for baby
Jesus that's the most keystone keystone go about selling this online without baby Jesus the Jesus
it's the worst it's the worst one to be missing if you think about it because you could even be
missing one of the three kings slash wise men and put a shepherd and be like he's cash I don't know
he's a cat he's a king of shepherds I don't know what to tell you I don't know what to tell you
I'm gonna give you four words that are gonna fix this problem luke choose your own adventure
right that's how you got anything can be Jesus oh what's that you have I'm going to assume because
you're a dodgy daddy some like D&D figurines a dragon's Jesus now right anything can be Jesus oh
it's cat boy from PJ Masks he's Jesus I now I now know why Jesuit Christian God canceled our show
right he was right to do so he foresaw this listen none of us were there and I guarantee you Jesus
doesn't look like he did in whatever that nativity scene had him looking like so put whatever the
makeup your face and in there and someone's gonna be like is that right they won't know go to
Jordan for it wicked no do you have they will super no do you have any tootsie rolls what was that
like you could use like modeling clay to try to form a Jesus or one of the babies from a why not
just use modeling clay I okay no one has modeling clay and halloween just ended so I'm betting luke
has some took to you that's fair I also like by the way like that you said I don't have a use for
it as though there wasn't a built-in use for an activity scene hey wait what are we gonna do with
it hey luke I got a question for you if we can get a little bit real for a second when you sent
this into us did you expect the moment when you said you're gonna sell your dad's activity scene
that you would audibly lose the audience I felt it it was probable wherever it's like are you
wait what did he say no because here's the thing about it that actually makes you on your side
your dad had to pack it up and he had to reach a point where he was like oh Jesus yes
this is true your dad knew it didn't have a Jesus in it that's fair that's fair you're right to do
this because he didn't put Jesus in and now Jesus is gone yeah unless he knew he for sure knew
the baby Jesus chewed his way out of the corner of the box listen I've seen toy story yeah that's
fair no hold on a second wait wait no no no wait okay so twister if toy story is real
and it is and there's an activity scene in a toy story movie yeah oh no
does doesn't it yeah doesn't activity Jesus come to life and have all of his incredible powers
right no there's actually a whole scene of like a sheet trying to convince him you're a toy
you're not Jesus and then he's crushed under the foot of something and baby and then the dad
delivers the whole thing okay okay my the the direction of the toy story tangent I was gonna
go off on is just include some like popsicle sticks and putty and googly eyes and pipe cleaners in the
box when you sell it and it's like make your own forky Jesus oh that's really good what about just
a little now it's an important family heirloom because you worked on it together and it looks
really good what about a tiny post it in the manger there's this says be right back yeah
I could you put a shepherd in the manger and just be like no one ever said Jesus wasn't
a fully grown adult man with a big bushy beard and Kyle xy I have not seen the show can you
put in a advertisement for the Jesus expansion pack
oh
DL Jesus
oh you wanted Jesus too okay oh Jesus is coming in February that'll be $60
or you can spend some some digi coins on this loot box and maybe you'll get a Jesus skin
yeah that's a rare that's a rare you gotta chase Jesus wow holofoil Jesus is it certainly Luke
we've said something helpful of course thank you Luke thank you Luke we have someone else over here
hi uh I'm Zach he him hi Zach send a follow-up with my seat number because I realized I messed up
and didn't do that yeah you didn't have to admit to that Zach but good on you we weren't gonna ratchet
yeah um so what I sent to you guys is that my girlfriend wanted to learn to juggle
because her and her roommates have people over and they have juggling parties

and she's kind of shrugging like why doesn't he know this about me um I you're you know the
you know that this isn't mark maren right like we're my brother my brother mean we've talked about
juggling in some unkind ways in the past and you're sure you want us to do this one I am sure
okay okay what's your what's your question is that will learning to juggle make me a juggler
oh oh my god man that's so it's supposed to be advice Zach not a fucking like brain twister
not just be a philosophical ponderable um this is a very real question that is bothering me
immensely how long does a juggling party last several hours no that is the rough hey no
is there a moment in a juggling party where it's like uh I don't actually feel like doing this anymore
and someone else is like are you kidding I could juggle for 15 to 20 more minutes
and then it's just one person juggling by themselves maybe but they also go to festivals
okay that's different though right that is not like if you went to a juggling party and say
there's eight people there which is a good get for a juggling party I'd say and you start juggling
and you all hit a rhythm and then it's just like all right so we've all demonstrated we can do this
do you want to I don't know watch a movie now Zachary how good Zachary listen to me
listen to me now the festival they go to are you fucking
certain do they does she call it the gathering of the jugglers
I'm approaching this question from a completely different sort of uh breach point
which is that I think you are being sort of reverse catfished or something
you're being fish cat yeah I actually don't know the name of the last one too
clownfish is extremely powerful thank you clownfish here's I don't like to let the record show
stenographer clownfish yes thank you I I don't think you need to learn to juggle because
I am not a juggler but I am a performer uh and somebody kind of sorted that all right
no it's all right I like your sparkly shirt so we're cool but I am a performer and what I like
way more than a fellow performer is than audience yes so what you have to offer to be at the juggling
party is going good juggling yeah I'm I'm I'm everyone's juggling no one's paying attention
you Travis the emotional sweat and tears and blood that's gonna go into that I don't think you
realize being at a juggling party and having to be the full-time audience member for that
one time I went to a small bar in Austin called nasties that I went to quite a bit it was no
it was a it was a cinderblock prison cell that but a little day I know the night that I went
me and my friends went it was open mic night and uh they were doing comedy it was an open mic
stand-up and we didn't have anything prep so we just sat there and then we that's why you didn't
participate in the open mic comedy night because you didn't prep of type five at one point we stood
up to leave and somebody told us like oh don't you guys are the only ones not performing tonight
will you please oh that's gonna be you but for juggling which is worse
I actually would argue it's not worse because with comedy it's so subjective where with juggling
it's pretty binary with juggling you have to pretend they didn't just drop one though
which is exhausting or have something constructive to say like you'll get them next time or like I
didn't want to eat that apple I guess this is okay I how good do you juggle right now Zach not at all
okay is that intentional what do you have has she tried to teach you how not yet it's hard whoa okay
like never offered to teach you no she offered I just had she hasn't tried yet
huh what I feel like there's a step in the middle Zach that you're not sharing with
you and I've said no all right I said repeatedly no um Zach if the first time you can get three
going for more than a few passes I say you're a juggler you may be uh just a young juggler an
amateur juggler a youngler a youngler but I think the first time you juggle three at one time I think
you're a juggler after that first pass and hey wait is that a good that's good yeah share this thing
with your girlfriend yeah I think you know what tomorrow I want you to send a video of you juggling
something dangerous so it needs you to accelerate the pace just tweet at us okay congratulations on
