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
I could have never seen what was coming for me hangs at the skate park hangs by the beach my life
It feels
It's better it's better
It's better it's better
It's better it's better
Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother me and it's an advice show for the modern era
And we're oldest brother Justin McElroy. I'm your middlest brother Travis McElroy. Yep. I'm your sweet, baby, brother
Oh, I got big dog woof woof. Okay. Oh, it's broken the curse is broken
Oh
Now that we finally hit the year and we've actually in a year about a dog with no bones
And we really fucking nailed it and then there I go forget. Oh, okay
That's okay, but you can never say it again that era. I'll find something different. Yeah, so I was listening to endless
I don't want to
Promote on another podcast because as everyone knows all comp podcasts are competing all the time. That's right. We'll call it
Schmed schmies on yeah, I'm dumb with Schmoner Schmatliff, right? Yeah, that is actually
Yeah, you know, it's what you're talking about. Yeah, the podcast that eyes and there was an episode where they talked about like child actors
Right who had played the younger versions of Tom Hanks
Movie and it got me thinking that a lot of people talk about like if they made a movie about your life
Who would play you and people always think about like younger actors or like actors their same age
but I want to ask you guys because I
think
The next move the next big step in like biopic or biopic
Movies used to make movies about people who are still alive
But what we think they're gonna do when they get older, right? So kind of a future channel nonfiction
Yes, and so who would you want to play you as an older?
Like if they made a movie about you right now
But yeah, like 75 looking about all the awesome shit you did in the next like 40 years, right?
Who would be irritated by the fact that this has come like it's actually a pretty good idea. Hey, thank you
It's like just but I don't think it I always get like I feel like there's a level of idea
That's like podcast good. You know what I mean where it's like we can just kind of dump it out here. Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what that's out of the moving car. Yeah, I mean it's gotta be her camera Wow
Controversial pick Griffin. I don't know. I don't know. I don't like the guy. I yeah, I find I find I love him. I love it
It's so funny. You look at it. You're like, yeah, sure griffin
He was funny and growing pains. It's like no this dude says
Really funny shit all the time. Yeah, he's Andy Kaufman level ass committed to this weird character
He's been playing so into it
Even his even his sister can't as Karen's like anyway, you guys know my dumb shit, bro
She's also kind of in on the joke though, huh a little bit. She's got it on that a little bit
See, I was thinking for me and maybe this is just wishful thinking but I really think he and I share the same energy
I'm just gonna say Brian Cox because I think when you see Brian Cox you think like that's an old Travis McRoy
but like I said, maybe that's wishful thinking and and
It's probably not that is it. No, it's probably no
Fisher Stevens might be a good Travis. Here's the thing that with this yeah Travis is I could say literally anything
I could say literally anyone because who the fuck knows what I'm gonna get up to in 40 years
Well, but at this point Griffin, I mean you're what you're 34 at this point
Yeah, and so I think you have you can look at yourself at like 12 and see the progression of 22 years
So I think you could right now say like I think at 56 we've aged your baby to an adult
And this is what we think he'll look like kind of thing. You know what I mean? Yeah
So I think you can probably extrapolate where you're gonna be
No, I don't think so, but I think her camera is a good start
Okay, bold a bold choice
Justin
hmm
Justin McRoy type. I'm trying to figure out who's got like the heat Justin McRoy
Energy, you know. Yeah
Who's like my I get sort of like I mean
Who's like got a Justin like who's got like a genuine
Like I feel like everybody's saying deaf Patel
So like a Justin McRoy
Energy that the I'm not sure
Sexuality handsomeness
Sir like
Sort of like a dev Patel
In there is one problem Justin. I'm not sure he's older than you
I think that's the one issue that I'm having with that casting Travis. He is an actor
This is true. He can play age
Now Justin if I might take you to Kumail Manjulani like body. Yeah, like more of a
Kumail body with like a dev Patel face
Yeah, no, I see that sexuality and chemistry and like handsomeness and stuff and now Justin
I'm just gonna throw this out and this is a bit of a different
Direction than dev Patel, but you know if we could get streep that almost guarantees an oscar
You know what I mean get that oscar buzz going if we could get streep
Yeah, um, it would be great if what a challenge for her. I know what a yeah, what a departure
You know streep if you want to do something that's going to get people talking, you know, I mean, yeah
Because you'll have to really dig deep to find the charisma within her to match your energy, right?
Yeah, I kind of a dev Patel level energy and sexuality with us. Do like what was that?
What was the uh, uh
Bob Dylan movie where like they had multiple actors play him we could do that with you
Oh rams wonder and porium
Exactly the magical the magical boat of dr. Parnassus exactly a very good act kind of thing because it's just called doctor
No, I think it's called sky captain in the world of tomorrow
But I think we could get because I would like to see I here's here's the lineup
I think you go glen close then you go streep
Then you go glen close and streep together like true west and how you like trade it off
And then you go a dev Patel and then you're gonna bring it back
Uh, like who's a hot child star right now? You know, we're gonna have like uh, like yeah, Nicky
We get limnicky in there. Maybe a timid timothe shall we we get all of them in and they but here's the thing
They're all talking to each other. It's all just it's oops all just all just that's cool
That's cool
What would be really cool is if in 40 years the thing justin's best known for is not these podcasts
But that like I don't know he invents
Uh
A hat that smells good. So when you come out of the bathroom, you don't have a bathroom smell behind you
You wear you wear like you're you're good smelling bathroom hat
And then you get glen close out there like it's my bathroom hat
And you're like is that actually justin or
I'm confused. Is this one of those CGI things?
What is hard is like the best chance I have of being depicted in the film at this point. Yeah
Is if somebody does a berries and cream movie
Okay, that's my best shot to get into a movie. I feel like a just a macro character
into a movie like
Okay, see for me
I think the best hope of getting a Travis macro biopic is probably some kind of whimsical but
Definitely still like fairly serious crime spree
Where it's just like
Where people are trying to understand like where it all went wrong kind of thing, but also I have a certain
Charisma much like, uh, you know that movie where it would they were robbing banks, but everybody seemed to like them a lot
You know that one. Oh, sure. Sure. Yeah with that jazz musician Bruno. Yeah. Yeah, um, I would
I feel like there's also a decent chance
I might be very briefly depicted in if they did rocket boys again
The west virginia guys that did rockets if they did rocket boys again
And that the end they wanted to be like and there's still people in west virginia today. It was just like me kind of like
Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm here too
There's actually a very good chance, you know
That there will be
A biopic of like lin that we might be depicted in and if that happens
And lin you're like you have any voice in it. Please make sure it's just three really ripped dudes
full eight jacked
Like six foot eight like hunks. You know what I mean?
Right because you want it to be accurate. Hunky hunky guys
We're three hunky guys and we do a podcast together. What kind of podcast you ask?
Well, it's weird that you just started listening side unseen, but like
Hey, good. Good. Appreciate it. Maybe it was just on maybe somebody's sitting in the tire disc counter. It's like waiting room right now
It's playing. Yeah, they don't have their headphones on they're just playing it to switch from the view to our podcast
Yeah, it's streaming to their television or something. Welcome advice. It's an advice. Why isn't there a podcast channel?
Come on. Come on
Come on
There's lots of channels, you know
Yeah, right almost too many sometimes we're scrolling through there and I'm like, what's what's all this?
There's like eight hreos. You know the chills. I like on tv
I don't have them anywhere. I don't figure at least I is a music choice
Oh, I like that there's a where your tv's like I could play music. It's like I know tv
Yeah, can you can you play whatever song I want? Um, no, I can come match a five
But you want to feel like some weather channel jazz. Yeah, yeah
Actually, I do but without all the trouble of the weather being there also. Yeah
Um, I work for the us snowboard team. Hell. Yeah
My role in short is to use wax to make the boards go fast like in, um, christmas vacation
Oh, for sure. So you know what I mean when you use is a non-nutrient varnish. Yeah
My job is inherently nerdy and I'm sounds cool to me. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty fucking cool
If that's if that's nerdy
Then I'm I'm I'm a thousand percent that minkus. Yeah, I just got a
Uh, uh, my job is inherently nerdy and I am spending time with a lot of rad athletes who do rad stunts
I don't like dangerous stunts. How do we come rad? That's from paul and saint paul. Well, that's a good hook
Yeah, yeah, I think right there. I think when I first read this question
What hit me paul if I may I think that you have won a fundamental misunderstanding of what is rad
Yeah, um, but your view has been skewed. Yes, but you got too close
Like icarus, you know, I mean like you got too close to to true coolness
And you've kind of lost perspective a little bit. Right. Yeah, right, right, right, right, right
Like this is like I bet that there are top level like high school varsity baseball players that like look at
You know people in the mlb and they're like, I'll never be that well here
I am looking at you varsity player thinking I'll never be that so don't you worry about it
But I I also think paul what you have to understand is these snowboarders
This is their day-to-day right there. They are so used to doing dangerous stunts and seeing other people do dangerous stunts
I don't think that counts as rad to them anymore
Well, when you start talking about this cool board wax that you use
And how the science works on it. That's what's gonna blow them away
They that that's what's going to be impressive to them or
You're gonna have to get good at rad stunts. It's one of those two. I don't you don't want to do that
That's not rad to them. What you know, I mean, you know, if I could suggest one quick thing
You should start going by st paul. That's pretty good. That's cool, right?
That is your name's paul just start getting people to call you st paul
That's cool. That might be misleading though just in for people who first meet st paul
That it might be like it's like a hood. It's sticky. I want to know everything about this. Yeah. Yeah for sure
Who is it? Yeah, but what if they're really a saint? What if they get sainted later because of like cool wax miracles?
This is easy. This is easy st st paul. Um, I think in high school
You know who was cool
Not not me, but follow me. Um, okay all the all the athletes
Yeah, but who was second coolest?
Finger kids not not the equipment. Fuck. No, not the equipment manager. I kind of said it with my fingers crossed
I was really hoping
But it was the kid at the lunch table who would eat anything you can put in this cup for one dollar
Ah, so cool for all the right reasons too, right?
And so if just sometimes while you're waxing their boards and they're like definitely micromanaging like did you wax the the middle?
You just scoop some of that wax up and you just take a big bite out of it
And they're like hold what the holy shit?
Did you just eat some of that wax and it's like, yeah, I did
Why do you think i'm so good at this me and the wax are one and they're like, well, have you talked to st paul?
He eats board wax. You got to see that
When you said the sentence have you talked to st paul he eats board wax
Did you realize that you had absolutely deep six this human being like you have absolutely lowered their stock
I don't think no no no because then that kid eats that kid eats paste that kid eats board wax. They are too
Awesome, and they started calling themselves st paul
Right, that's actually that me. Is that because of all the board wax they've been eating? Yeah, he's hallucinating. Yeah a little bit
By the way, I never saw anybody eat paste my entire
You know school career
But if I did I would want to know more about that person
Because that's a yes griffin, but not I think once again you are only thinking about the interest, but not
Perhaps the
Kind of interest you would yeah, it would be a really quick like hey unless you're eating paste like yeah, i'm coming pervert
It's like, oh my god
I don't think that you would have a moment of like i'm interested in this kid on a really deep spiritual level
I think it doesn't have to be interested in a spiritual. We're just trying to be cool and kind of mysterious
But not eating. I feel like eating things you're not supposed to eat is not it's rarely like cool
It's not cool unless you like unless one thing that I try to jump you can't write hop skip and jump over and unless like that
unless
unless when I was in
Middle school and high school more high school. I think for like a year. So I tried to be cool by
having a habit of
Keeping a thumbtack in my mouth remember this, huh? You guys remember this move? Unfortunately, I do
I did I would like have a thumbtack in my mouth like the pointy side out right and I would have like
Chew on the plastic in and that's uh, that's bonkers juicer
Yeah
I wish I hadn't said it now. At least it's just between us three. Yeah
Yeah, it's just like it was a I don't mind to be open about the ways in which I tried and failed
To be cool. Be cool. Look cool. Be cool. Seem cool. Sound cool at cool
Not any of it. Really. Yeah, because it worked out, you know, yeah inspirationally. Sure
Um, I really really killed the mode there. Well, it's a revelation. I'm sorry
Weird now as an adult to retroactively be weird really worried about my teenage or older brother
Like that. I wish I could go back in time and just say like hey bud
Hey, you're cool enough. I'm trying to own myself as a holistic person. You know, I mean, I don't need to be
That's not a different me. That's the same me that got us all here. Oh, that's weird because I would say they let drive my kids around
Yeah in a vehicle, you know
Um, it is fun
I think that you should be able to like when you're like, I don't know filling out your taxes or whatever
There should be a spot where it's just like you list all the actual dumb decisions you made and so
Then when you're like late on taxes, they're like, I'm just glad we got it at all
Yeah, do you see what this guy did when he was like 14 and oh my god
He ate a bunch of boardwax
Then yelled that his tummy was now a snowboard and and then he yelled
Then he yelled hop on get ready to flip and I was like, I don't
I don't think flipping is like the main thing in snowboarding
Um, but at that point he was already grinding on every surface in the office. So and he was slippery
he was that um
Can I do can I approach the wizard humbly and
Prostate myself in front of him. Yes, but I really think you need to look that up before we record again
Yeah, I don't think that that's exactly right
Unless you want the wizard to stick a finger in your butt. No. No. No. No. No. No. I don't I mean
No, no, no. No, I don't want that. Um
So here's this one was sent in by uh, tao. Thank you. Uh, it's uh, how to look gothic without your parents getting upset
Oh
We all and we please we all
You know have gone through and or are still going through this stage of our lives
And we all struggled with it because we were like
You know, we watched, uh, Edward scissor hand. Yeah door deft. Yeah the craft or
The craft just like uh Adam's family
Adam's family saw that we're like, I would love to just sort of
Just chomp roll hulia's style right now and be that
Um, but then we did it. We were just like overnight went bam. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am and came downstairs
And we you know, we're perfectly cosplaying
As as Gomez Adams and our parents were like, no, that's too much
But here is how to really do it without upsetting your parents because that's the most important thing
Part one nothing goth about upsetting your parents exactly to part one dressing goth transform yourself at a slow pace
Uh, uh, I like a medic plan to look goth over an extended period
Incorporate clothes that identify you as goth one piece at a time and over many months create a six month plan
Um, because it's like the easiest way to boil a frog or by which I mean your parents
You just they'd look at you one day. Why are you boiling your parents?
You're eight months in your parents like wait, uh, wait a tick. Hold up. Hold up a second
You got a different sort of uh different flavor today. Hey, jeff. Jeffrey. Debbie
Has griffin always looked like this?
Because like I'm looking at him and I'm thinking
Is that new but then when I'm like remembering griffin for the last six eight months
I can't remember a time
Where he didn't kind of look like this
Are we okay with this? Are we okay? Is it too late now? Yeah
Uh, incorporate some bright colors into your fashion. Well, uh by incorporating some bright colors
You'll send the signal that although you are goth you are not going overboard
Mmm, you can still easing in. Yes. Don't rush it. No, it's savor it. Enjoy it
This is these are your final days as a normie and so you can you know
Enjoy that until you are ready to fucking, you know party party with the vampires
You also need to be able to back off of it if it's not like
landing for you. Yeah
Like you need to be like, I don't think I was
Gough, that doesn't sound right. No, don't you remember yesterday?
Like you came into school and you were like fully kitted out with like you remember it's like
No
I don't are you okay? Here's a good flip dress somewhat conservatively
While the color scheme of your goth style might frighten your parents you can temper this by embracing a somewhat conservative approach
um, the picture I am seeing here is uh, uh two people and there's a dude who is wearing like
Uh, a very sleek blazer over a black button-up shirt with a black belt with some black pants
And his hair's done all good and there's a lady with the same sort of fashion going on
And I just am imagining one of us as a teenager walking downstairs in our
In our you know vampire going to a wedding outfit and just been like, hello. Hello, mother and father
Don't worry about me. I'm goth now
Well time to go to work
Yeah, gotta go. I gotta shift at tcby today
I think if your kid's goth you got to cancel work that day and just talk through it. You got to understand it
Where's it coming from if nothing else just be like, okay?
Because when you go into the world with other teenagers, they might be kind of shitty to you
Because that's how it works. And I'm listen. I support this 100 percent
I just want you to know that there will be assholes out there who will not and we're gonna talk through this
I'm gonna just write and to be clear. It's not because you're dressing goth. It's because you're wearing
A full suit
A full men's magazine cover suit to your eighth grade class
Yes, you're swung hard into what I believe is called executive goth
Yes, exactly. And perhaps you want to start as a more casual goth
And then only do executive goth on I don't know like standardized testing days
Like weakened goth is is pretty impactful. What if you found what if you saw one of your teachers at tcby?
Yeah, and they're a weakened goth and they're like you too. That's good
Or you could do I think it's called like fitness goth
Where yeah, and you're like wearing like black track suits and stuff and it's still very gothic
But you're also ready to get out there and work up a sweat
You could also do old old fisherman goth
Oh, that's a good one where you you know, you sort of fuse those two things together
Um, and that one will confuse people a little bit. So they'll be like, who's that old old fisherman?
He'd be like, no, it's it's it's me. I love me. Who's that old fisherman who looks so sad?
He looks so sad, but also so fucking cool. Yeah, um, there's a bunch of boring shit after that
Let's get into accessorizing focus on goth. That's where it is, right?
Yes, like if I saw someone in a black t-shirt in black jeans, I'm like, okay
But then what's that a spiky wristband? Oh, okay
Yeah, it uh, it could be uh, jk Simmons if it's just that like a tight
Tight black t-shirt tight pants like you don't know it might be goth. Is that's a fun game
We could make that a game on this show. Is it goth or is it jk Simmons?
We don't actually know if he is part of that lifestyle
I hope he is actually. Yeah, I do too. Uh, I want that for him accessories can help you transform your existing wardrobe into one with a gothic flare
Yeah, I had a big bowling shirts face in high school
I wonder if I had tossed on I want to call this episode my brother my brother me revelations
Yeah, I wonder if my brother my brother me a retrospective
If I had maintained that look and also worn dark scarves jewelry like snakebone hairpins a spider ring a bat bracelet
Then it just says belts. Yeah. Well, we all need belts. Yeah, that's just practical
But here's the trick sometimes
Uh, you skip the belt loops. It's just about just the belt is there as it's only tiny
That's cool. That's and that's so fucking goth
That is so fucking goth. This is if we've learned anything from the fact that fitness goth exists
Goff is kind of like I think the fashion equivalent of like steampunk is to storytelling
Where it meshes well with pretty much anything so like I could take say my phase in high school
where I wore button-up shirts dress shirts
And tear away exercise pants and dance shoes and add some goth accessories to that and now
I'm embarrassing goth, you know, I mean it just ties in all the theater kid goth if you will but Travis by the
Yeah, I'm sorry for how much I bullied you
In high school, even I know I actually think you didn't bully me enough because like I did that for a long enough period
That um, some some older girls had an intervention for me
Where they said like hey, you seem cool. You gotta stop with this. You got this. Look your pants
You're you are in public. Your pants should not tear away. Yes
This was long before there were uh, you know, like flash mobs
And so maybe I was just ahead of the curve. You don't know. Um, yeah
I I you can be like me and just kind of like stop evolving your style at 16
Just like get to 16 be like, yeah, that's good
Well, no Justin jeans in a short sleeve button down. I got it
I'm gonna push back a little bit because you did I would say inject some disney dad flair in there
Later in life. That was just a circumstance of where I happen to be when I needed a shirt. That's like that's that's not my
That's good point
I would argue that in high school juice
You had yet to receive the jimmy buffet blood transfusion that transformed you
Into the man you are that was actually when you don't need fucking island vibes
You're on island time 24 hours a day and you don't even realize
Yeah, you need coal irony of life of age. You may be listening to this right now
And you might be in your house the other days
So you don't need he you know, jimmy says take the weather with you as the name one of his albums
And that's you do that when you're young you don't even think about it with when you're older
You got to work at it a little bit still attainable. Um avoid dying your hair black right away
So fucking yeah, okay
Make that one
You know, it's too late. I already I already did. Yeah, I already did that. I assumed make that one. Yeah
Um, because that's that one's gonna that's one's gonna get my name recommend purple
Yeah, much better. Uh, you'll still ruin a lot of pillowcases and white t-shirts
Trav yeah
Are you got oh man travi
Are you got I'm no no no no no no no no like I think about it. I understand and I understand the impulse and there's like zero
Just right here. Obviously. I'm emo. I'm a lot more emo than that
I'm uh like uh like a dad emo like emo dad like a seamster dad
Yeah, that's a lot more of my thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because like the music I'm listening to is like playing at the disco
And and fallout boy where it's much more like elder emo. Wow. Dan trav you're not kidding
That really is sort of your set. Yeah. Yeah guys
Hey, we've known each other for a long time, right?
But I've never really thought of myself as someone who's living
Like life with an emo brother
So when I have purple hair and like eyeliner
And like I'm wearing, you know, like a suit with like a little like bird skull lapel pin
Yeah, I bet trav is it seemed like more like a costume than an expression of your authentic self
But now I feel like you're living it. Yeah
Man, my you know my problem and I feel like this is something we could all learn from
My problem is that I think of you too frequently as a person first
And labels second. Oh, that's a mistake. I feel like we could all do do well
To try to think of people in terms of labels. Yeah. Yeah as a person second
Because I'm working really hard to show my label and people are like, yeah, but I don't want to talk about that
And it's like but that's all I want to talk about
Please I'm gonna hop forward. Don't get any tattoos or piercings. Yeah
Um, and then we're gonna move on to part three, which is I'm assuming by the way that they will tell me when it is
Okay to dye my hair. Yeah, I have to circle back on it. If you're gonna delay me on it
And eventually I can get tattoos and piercings, right? Someday. Yeah, I think could you do a um an ombra
I think is what it's called where you just get a little bit of the hair dyed black
And then your parents would be like, is he going is his hair going wait? It's not going gray. What's going on?
um
So part three behaving well wait be true to yourself. You don't have to change your which one is it?
Yes, um
Be true to your best self. I guess uh step two and this is an awesome one for like any one of these like lifestyle things
And it's uh number two get good grades
Yeah, man
They should put that in constant. They should put that in literally every yeah, that's what i'm saying. Yeah
It's like how to live like goku and it's like practice meditation and get very strong
And then it's got to be like and then get good grades
Because that's awesome. You're gonna learn stuff and have better opportunities
And your parents will be very pleased with you even though you're living that full blown goku lifestyle
Uh, oh man avoid friends who get into trouble. Yeah, you don't know what is going on on this lit
I feel like sami's grandma. What wrote this? Yeah, right?
I will remind you the whole list and sitting backwards on a chair and now griffin
Yes, please remind us griffin
The name of the article is how to look gothic without your parents getting upset
And so this one's like if you did dye your hair black and you got six lip piercings
And then you found this article you'd be like fuck fuck fuck fuck, but then you get to part three and it's like hey
it's okay
Just get good grades
And that's really gonna knock this out of the park don't have friends who get into trouble
And it shows somebody guys and they're smoking a cigarette
No, no, no, thank you. Yep. Stay away from this day and age
What are they gonna do when they get on a long airplane flight? Oh, yeah, exactly final one show respect to your parents
The way you look might alienate your parents, but the way you act and talk to them
is more important
Um, but here's the kobi ashi maru if you're like mom dad
I know I have a different steez now, but I love you both and I respect you and they say we love you too
Please go back to changing to dressing the way you used to and you can't be like I respect you
But but fuck no, I look so cool now. You don't even get it. I'm down. I'm pulling down tail

You don't understand
Parents just don't understand how much tail I'm pulling with my new gothic style
Because it can't be like the last step in this is like go back to normal if your parents
Wicked don't like it. You know what I mean?
Like you could have good grades and get rid of your smoking friends and be true to yourself and all that
And they could still even after all that work be like go change
Go change immediately. No, here's what it is griffin griffin griffin griffin
First before you do any of the style changes
You start to get bad grades and hang out with kids who smell. Oh my god, travis. Yes
And then as you transition to the goth style
Yeah, you start to clean up your act and they're like, I don't know what it is, but
It's it's really working for them. You know and they see it as like they're connected
I like that a lot. I like that a lot
It's like when justin got blonde highlights and and then he started living wow. I didn't even volunteer that
I thought I thought it would be okay because we're all just sort of dishing dishing out the
And this is a private episode more like a self dish so far
hasn't it felt like that so far that it's more of a
Self dish like a self serve. You know eat what you want kind of deal. No. Yeah, I think griffin's right
Just anything you want to say about griffin
Yeah, no, I love my brother very much. Come on, dude. Blast me. No, I don't you don't want to talk about when he bought the
Red goggles from hot topic and his friend evan bought the green goggles and then they switched one lens of both
So they had red and green goggles each
Yeah, that's just he was going to see a 3d movie later that I do you want no
I definitely wore them at school, uh, but and that and that theater practice and a theater
But are you are you they're called rehearsal travels? Um, but how are you gonna blast the coolest thing I've ever done in my life?
That's fair. Yeah. Yeah
You know, it's true
I don't really want to blast you. I love my brother. Okay
You did try to get people to call you Andy that one. Yeah, that's true that in depth
Well, I also tried to get the nickname shades go in at church camp. This is all stuff that we've talked about on this show
We've been doing it for a billion billion trillion trillion trillion years. Yeah, uh, let's take a break and make some money
Right. Yeah, and then we'll come back and do some other things
You guys know what
I just built a website on Squarespace yesterday
Did you I did
What is it?
Uh, I'm working on a new podcast that I'm executive producing called chasing immortality
And I wanted to build a website for that and I made what's the website address chasing immortality pod.com
Okay, um, and I think it's uh, I mean listen, it's it's nothing
It's not like I'm really worried about I'm charlie. I'm really worried about you. Did you just call Travis charlie?
Travis I'm really worried about you. No, I combined two words
I'm really worried about you Travis because this website looks so expensive. Oh, and then you must have spent so much money
Um, getting professional to design this website. Oh, no, just just Justin Justin. You dumb piece of shit
I made it myself
In about like 30 to 40 minutes
You're kidding me. No, you stupid asshole. I made that
You don't have to talk to him like that. Oh, you're right. You're right. Hey friends in case you I should I should clarify
For the bit Squarespace is great. Travis actually did not work very hard on this website
I am going to take another pass at it. Yes, I did. I mean I'm going to take another pass at it
But I needed something functional
So that I could get started and the thing the bigger point Justin
But I was trying to get to is I realized as I was making this one
I was like how many websites I have used at Squarespace to build for just kind of off the cuff like ideas
I've had the cuff indeed and
Okay
I know they have beautiful customized little templates created by world-class designers
I didn't have the copy up and I know that there's many options. You could have gone with your travels. Listen, Justin's right
Don't let my
Work ethic reflect the quality of Squarespace. You know you had to work that hard
They have beautiful customizable templates
They do and it lets you sell products and services well kind and everything's authorized for mobile out of the box
But I am a lazy turd and I was like this has links. That's good
They have analytics to help you grow free and secure hosting and nothing to patch or upgrade ever

Hey kid
Your dad tell you about the time he broke steven dorf's nose at the kids choice awards
In dead pilot society scripts that were developed by studios and networks
But were never produced are given the table reads they deserve
When I was a kid I had to spend my christmas break film and a psa about angel dust. So yeah being a kid sucks sometimes
Presented by andrew reich and ben blacker dead pilot society twice a month on maximum fun dot org
You know the show you like that hobo with the scarf who lives in a magic dumpster
Dr. Who
I have lots of fish tanks
One of which is on my bathroom vanity. The problem is that my bathroom is where I get dressed every morning
Because closing the blinds in my room takes effort and I am lazy travis. You can certainly uh relate to this
I should do
Consequently my fish sees me naked a lot. Is this
inappropriate
huh
That's some fishy business
There is no way that a fish
Of any level of intelligence
Could look upon the human form and parse it whatsoever, right?
Not only are we like comparatively gigantic to them
Yeah, so many of the parts are different. Yeah, you couldn't contextualize it
I don't even know if a fish has a has a beamus. So
What two?
I mean, listen, they got eyes and mouth and as far as I can tell the
Well, I just meant externally
Parts that they can like look at us and be like, I know those are eyes
But what the fuck are those would be rest of it
That's like elbows fingers shoulders
I'm not even getting into any of the like, you know the stuff that are covered by clothes
Like I mean, I can I mean we could just start here. Okay fish snake fish naked fish is absolutely naked fish is naked
Fish has always been naked fish is naked all the fish doesn't even understand anything else other than naked
Yep, except for the first time your fish sees you naked your fish is like, okay, I get this
Can I tell you guys something this I can get into it just fucked me up
What don't google this but think right now
Are scales fish's skin or are the scales covering their skin underneath?
Are the scales yeah, or are the scales like hair the scales are scales because it's fish
Yeah, but I mean like what's what's the corollary, right?
It's not you don't need to meta you don't need to turn it into a metaphors just scales bud
But are the scales the skin different or is there skin under the scales?
Bud are the rocks their taxes think about it. Yeah
think about it
Listen, you're being flippant because you don't know the answer and that's they're being flip it. They're fish. That's true
That's yeah, they're being a lip it
I
Just threw it die across the room
I was thinking you were talking about how fish is naked when don knots turns into the incredible mr.
Limpet first of all he turns into a fish
A real shark tail ass looking fish that looks a lot like don knots, but he also has glasses on
So he's not completely nude if you think about it. Do you guys ever think that we talk about uh, mr.
Limpet so much that maybe we have thought it into existence and it is not
Actually, yeah, that's interesting
Yeah, probably because when you think about it is a movie about a man who wishes to be a fish so hard
That he turns into a fish and then helps the u.s. Government spot
Uh, like see like mines in the sea
Yeah to protect submarines in the war
Yeah, man. What a badass
What a complete badass and then I think this man turned fish
Has relations with another fish. Yeah, definitely. It definitely does that. What a movie you guys and this is for kids
Yeah, well, it's the god of something for grown-ups too. Yeah
Travis, you just got a fish tank. How do you feel about showing your uh, I did it day one to establish dominance. Okay
They were probably pretty wild now in there just like what's this new place?
Oh, look, there's rocks. This water tastes different. Look at that big ass
Is that dude evil or what? Whoa, what's his vibe? He's got purple hair. Wow a butthole. I don't know anything about that
Why is he showing me this?
Fish got my holes
Fish are not very freaked out by my holes. Yeah. Yeah
Uh, when I bought the fish or a fish tank the person uh at the pet store said like that you had to put him
You know in an opaque bag to drive them home or else it could like scare the fish too much because
It's the equivalent and this is a quote the equivalent of an alien abduction to them
In yeah, definitely. I've you seen Nemo
And then I started thinking about how much farther that concept extends
We're like if someone picked up me and put me in another house
Inside someone else's house. I and it's sorry. It started to get too much for me. I couldn't handle it
Yeah, I don't blame you
Huh, huh?
Weird
I want a munch
I want to munch
Dracula out a little bit in there. I didn't mean to be Dracula. I was like
It's italian
Oh, I try to make it sound like italian. Yeah, that's awesome, man. Wait, is Dracula not italian?
Dracula Transylvanian, bud
Oh, right. Right. Right. Right. Yeah, garlic thing would have been a bigger deal
Yeah, um, okay
A new temptation is born
Oh
The passionate kiss burger to enjoy. Oh, no say that 10 times again
The passionate kiss burger to enjoy with every bite. Is it brought to you by gene Simmons?
Hmm. What restaurant do you think is brought to you by?
Oh, good question
I'm gonna say
Hmm
red Robin
interesting Griffin
Uh, the passionate kiss burger passionate kiss burger
It's gotta be not one of the main ones. I feel like it's gotta be a wild one like dairy queen or something like that
Oh, no, wait, hold on. I'm gonna say olive garden because you said italian earlier
No, I mean literally italian
A new irresistible temptation
Stimming from the creativity of colonel sanders. What the kiss burger now available in all kfc restaurants in italy
Whoa, whoa is a chicken sandwich
It's a bad start italy, but go on a chicken sandwich for your burger
Prepared according to the colonel's original and secret recipe
Topped with double cheddar cheese
Crunchy bacon and two delicious onion rings. Great
Enjoy every bite with the passion of a kiss
Because pleasure
Knows no obstacles. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, not even topped with onions
Now, Justin, I I want you to know I listen to every word you just said
Mm-hmm
Are you telling me that the entirety of the name passionate kiss burger?
Yeah is a lie
No, because it is neither a burger nor has anything to do with a passionate kiss except that
One might enjoy it
With the passion of a kiss
Yes, this is what i'm saying. It's a sandwich that brings a kiss kiss burger
What part of that tell you not understand in the advertising film and yes, it is a film
colonel sanders talks about the new burger and all its delicacy
A sandwich that brings you closer that unleashes passion for kisses
In couples of all ages ethnicities and sexual orientations with onions on it
The launch campaign of the new burger
Plays with the cliche of the onion. Oh, which could turn people away after eating it
But colonel sanders recipe is so good that it has the opposite effect
Everybody the sandwich triggers the desire to share and rediscover the pleasure of being together
That's from palo tifano head of marketing and communications at kfc italia
um
Is it a sorry you I I think I a lot I didn't pay attention there for about
Interesting three quarters of a second and now I don't know if this is a movie or a chicken burger
Right, so it's both. It's a sort of trans media experience where it's kind of a burger that they've adapted into an advertising film
Yeah, a 30 second advertising film, right?
Once again, we wanted colonel sanders as the protagonist of the commercial
He is the best testimonial for the message we want to continue to share at kfc
We are all the same and invited to enjoy the chicken
Okay, and kfc
We're all the same
And invited to enjoy the chicken love that the atmosphere
The sharing and welcoming experience that we offer at our restaurants
also
Debunking some cliches like the one about onions. Is that a cliche? That's the what's the onion cliche?
It do make your breath stinky
It's but the recipe of passion for this burger that's chicken is so powerful that it gets you
Fucking
Oh, oh, I see. Oh, I like that. I like that. This one is a burger. That's what they're saying and guys
This is kind of hard for the yeah, it is
Sorry, Trev, you were kicked off the podcast first. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you said hard and we're talking about getting horny
And so I connected you said I lost you again. Oh, I lost you again. Can you try to yeah?
Can you hear me now? I made it sound like a boner
Okay, guys, I'm gonna send you a link don't watch it yet. Oh my goodness
And you at home are gonna watch this too. How are you sending it to us? I'm gonna slack it to you, baby
Oh topical
Don't watch it until I tell you to oh my god. I want to watch it so bad
I know but I'm gonna start the music so people can enjoy it with you. All right
Get it loaded up and get ready to start. I'm ready. Are you ready to start?
Go
The kfc il piacere non conosce barriere prova il nuovo kiss burger filetto di pollo preparato

Qualche problema con la cipolla?
Perché stare lontani dalle tentazioni
Woowocky's burger come closer kfc
She's united. Can you play just the come closer bit?
Woowocky's burger come closer kfc chicken united. It's so great
That's yeah, it's really really good
Actually extremely surprised by the horniness of that commercial. Yeah, dude
If you guys google kfc kiss burger because we probably uh, man, we'll probably tweet it out and include an episode
Ladies and stuff. It's like a very money commercial unabashedly said this is not like your side long glances or your implant
People are full on
Tonguing each other. Yeah, they're tongueing hard. Um
Yeah, this is like kfc is trying to establish itself as like the new like make out spot
That like oh, hey eat this burger get totally revved up and then taste each other's tonsils my dude
Is this now I understand why they're all like
Talking about how onions
Have a bad taste and smell to them
Yeah, because they're assuming that you are going to be chowing down on your partner's face
Moments after consuming this big burger because it's not a burger because of consuming griffon. That is important
This is not like
This is not the the burger is not superfluous
To the experience but rather integral without it. You are not going to be chowing down on each other's faces
Yeah
Hey, cool commercial
Did we talk about the fact that there's about a thousand scenes of people kissing like deeply deeply kiss like just one trouble mind you
A lot of couples maybe they um
They're like they love the burger flavor. They're kissing the burger at the same time
Like it's one of those like cool three-way kisses that you see in like cool movies
That people do or it's like me
My my beautiful wife and a chicken burger in between us with the stinkiest Indians I've ever been close to in my life
But I do like the idea of each other's stinky breath making it okay, right? We're eating the same burger
So, you know what? We're all the same here kfc. Everybody's breath is stinky. So let's just enjoy it and get into it. Yeah
Um, cool commercial juice. Thanks for sharing that with us. Yeah, it's very good
It doesn't look like a very good sandwich, but there was but I would eat the hell out of that
It looks good as hell. I'm really hungry though. Yeah, that's also true. It's about lunchtime here
It's also really funny because there's 319 comments on this video that's been viewed 6 000 times, which is quite a huge
That's what that's 20
kfc. Italia has uh
Put a comment on the
On the top of it. That's like hey everybody, please be nice
About this commercial it's like can't see you have the power to turn correct comments off and can't see like no no no
Everybody gets their stuff free must be freedom speech, but be cool. Just please be cool
Um, man, that was a good that I never want to I don't ever want to kiss again
It's one of those things where it's like, oh, I think I'm done. I have I've had my fill
They don't address choking hazards in this at all. Do the
