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 Saw Bones a marital
Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother and me an advice show for the modern era
I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy. I'm your middle. It's probably
Pregnant is pregnant. It is like that positive pregnant with triplets. I'm your middle. It's brother Travis the effervescent
Macalony do you stop saying your last name and it's like that's our fucking brand dog
No, but like that's how a flourish works like Peter the great wasn't like I'm Peter
Great
I'm Griffin McElroy this the youngest of them and
So glad so glad to be here. I just want to say I just want to take this opportunity. It's from a heart
I just want to apologize to you too. I've been watching a lot of incanto lately
Yeah, and it makes me realize how hard it must have been for you guys to grow up in my shadow
Because I'm kind of like a mix of like both Louisa and Isabelle strong and perfect
Exactly, and I'm it's making me realize now how much you guys must have felt like I don't like a Bruno or
Maybe you know like even like a Mirabelle just completely no power
I felt more like one of the dirty rats that lived in the walls that just like nobody gave a shit
I feel like I feel like Kirk
Is the Bruno right like cuz we don't we don't talk about Kirk no no and Kirk live in the walls
Walls little griffin the rat. Yeah
Walls he'll tell you that but don't ask him
Kirk kicked ass I did like kicking it with him because he was like way more loosey-goosey
Than the than the rest of y'all. He's kind of the one of us that's pissed off about cancel culture
You know what I mean like it's we curbs that vibe. Kirk gives up
I do not really have crypto and he keeps calling it curbed. Oh
And then he moved out and he's he's high on the hog at this point
he has a dinner plate and
He like always has it on him and I'm like what's up and he's like
Bitcoin and I'd say no and then he shows me that he did draw a dollar sign on it. Yeah, and there's
And that there is bite marks all over that he put on that he put in there. That's Kirk
But that's just another fictional brother was there a dad we've had so many fictional brothers
Which is so cool whenever we post a picture of us with
Any person who's not us and they're like, oh, there's Kirk
So I've just stopped taking pictures of people who aren't you too. Yeah, they confuse not even my children in a big way
Especially if you do a photo of the two of us of two of us with one of them not in there
But somebody else is there and they're like man Travis looks fucking
Buck wild and it's like that's
That's not him that's Travis doesn't look as strong and perfect as he usually does yeah exactly exactly
He's not covered in donkeys and flowers like he normally is right cuz you're a fusion of the
Well, I'm not saying I'm literally a fusion Griffin
I'm like it's not like there was some kind of like transporter accident and it combined
Louisa and Isabella. I'm saying that I
Represent the strength and perfection of both of them. Yeah, you guys are struggling to come out from under my beautiful perfect shadow
Yeah, I have an unrelated announcement. Please. I have an announcement for all the
listeners of this program all of them and the haters and the haters no just listeners I
now know uh-huh
That dr. Pepper. Yeah is making a berries and cream flavor. Oh
I have this information. Okay. I have the information from you and you and you and you and you and you and you
Okay, I got it. Yeah, they're making a I
Let that go that part of myself is in the past. Yeah, I am moving on to new projects much like
Gordon Lightfoot stopped playing the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald because he didn't want to overshadow the rest of his great
Tunes the rest of Gord's gold the launch of the admin Fitzgerald, which was the prequel. He wrote right and the model of the
Nothing's ever going wrong with this bitch. Hey, wait Gordon. I don't think that's what we would say
The lyrics that's not a cool terminology
Gordo didn't make that one up Gordo. I think
Further alienating our listeners, but no like
Yep, I got it. You don't have to tweet it
But Justin or Facebook it or or signal it or gab
Yes, you don't put it on parlor for me anymore. I got it. No more periscopes
No, no no vines. I've got it run to all of it. I got it
But Justin you can't shut down the pipeline that has served you so well like
Sherlock Holmes never went to the bigger street or regulars and you're like, I get it. Somebody's murdered guys
It's just it's just I can't I can't explain to you guys what it feels like
I know we've addressed this topic for but now when corporations are gonna make
Mondo money off of this and it's like, thank you Justin. Thank you for this great corporate give it
It's like you should have thought about that
Yeah, before you accepted all that money from dr. Pepper to launch the berries and cream sound on
Tiktok so that they could launch this judge
It's all been building to this and now you're biting the hand that feeds you and yeah and drinks you
Anyway, oh, you're just not gonna address. I'm not
Say this I think that's that sounds like a kick-ass flavor. It sounds good. It sounds really good
They need it in a diet though. I don't I dieted dr. Pepper is
Zero would be ideal berries and cream zero. I'd never drink anything else. I get out of here
Now Justin, you said you do other things and I would like you to list some of them, please. Yeah
Yeah, I get remember I used to do the doll thing. Yeah, that was like that. Yeah, okay. I got a
I got a shorty award in 2008 for what for a tweeter, you know, I was the AP
Regional AP award winner for my business writing and the regional AP awards
I had a really good Facebook memory about that
Back from 2008 that you posted on my Facebook wall link to your shorty award and you said something like eat my balls or something
It was we both up for that
I don't think we were both up for it
But I think I know word for how good a single tweet was it's so fun when you think about how different things
Things were what is that 14 years ago that you won a shorty award
And you were the type of person that went on your younger brother's Facebook wall and posted a
Link to your shorty award and just said eat my balls
Different time. I will say though in 2008 that could have been a reference to the hit meme
About different characters eating your balls. Yeah, it definitely was that but still I don't think that changes the point that the odds
Were a different time would you do that now Justin?
Would you win an award for a tweet you wrote and then go on Griffin's Facebook page and
Post a link to that award and right now. I think you'd probably get like a scarf my ass
Yeah, scar half my farts kind of deal. Yeah, it's half my farts harder edge
Seems like much more of a commitment like if someone's gonna eat some balls
Versa hoofed farts huffing farts could almost be a passive. Sorry. I found it
This was from February 12th 2009 and Justin posted a link to a CNN article about the shorty awards, which
Wow, it's pretty wild and he just put and he just wrote and his younger brother's wall on Facebook for everyone to see
Suck on this Wow
Suck on this CNN article that doesn't even load anymore
What's CNN I tell you to suck on that CNN article? I don't know man
You've been rooting against me like I don't remember this. We've been working for
Polygon or joystick at that point. It's
I forget the timeline, but I did I guess that made me feel small Justin
I just want to say there's a part of me
Why didn't you post on my wall that I could suck on your shorty award?
Was I not on the social media at this point was I not probably not you're too busy in college or something?
I listen in 2009 Justin. I was 24. Yeah, you did go back there for a bit. Oh, yeah
Oh wait, I did didn't I did yeah, you did. Oh you did. Yeah, I did go back to college for a while
That might be true. God good times. Thanks everybody for strung down this memory lane with us
Yeah, that's gonna do it for us this week folks. Oh, no, no, no, we're ahead of my show. We're gonna help people. Yeah, okay
I'm gonna visit my sister next month and while I'm there. I use her guest room. Yeah one problem
Her sheets suck. They feel like burlap. Would it be rude to gift her sheets for the guest bed or
Any advice y'all could give thanks that's from sleepless in San Antonio
Now listen it is it is
Fine to give a host a gift so you could be like and I brought my own sheets now. Here's the thing
Unless your your sister is completely obtuse. It will be pretty obvious
Yeah, pretty clear. I brought these sheets for me to sleep on go ahead and put them on now, please
I'll wait
It can't be a preference thing, right? I like I prefer burlap like nobody
They've got to be sleeping on some
Silky stuff and yeah, I don't think that I just don't think they care. Yeah, they're good
It's a cow's bed. It's getting used to what maybe maybe once a month
Probably never used. I mean, it's a very good chance that she doesn't know see this is why your communication is so important
You got to go in and just say hey, I I love you as a person your guest bed sheets are trash
I mean, they're trash. That's one that's one option another option is you show up day one and you're like ghost costumes and
Then you have her put on those and so she can feel it all over her body
And then when you guys are done playing ghost costumes and scaring people around the neighborhood saying that you're a ghost
She can be like, you know what I just had these on my body when I was pretending to be a ghost earlier
And they suck they're terrible doesn't matter because there will be holes cut at them
Problem has sold itself with a ghost costume
Now hold on it depends where the holes are put because what two holes that's gonna stop you from using sheets
Come on mr. Money bags. I didn't realize that two holes was all it took before you stopped using sheets
No, I like my child. Oh, so you're not using fitted sheets for those costumes Justin
You'll look like a sack of testicles look like grimace
Okay, that's here. That's a good point
You look like a bruised up sack of testicles like grimace and maybe maybe you could help in this
So you get the sheets and then you throw them in to the washing machine with some shoes
Okay, and fabric softener and then you just run them. You know you run that shit. Maybe that could like
Soften them up a little bit. So it's a little more pleasant for you
I'm just saying that like I if someone came to me if if one of my brothers the one that I loved the most
Came to my house and said hey
I think fabric softener works
I assume it's acid that breaks down the bonds. Why don't they put it on before I have to be involved in it
It doesn't actually soften it does not magic. I mean it it does it's softer
So like why do I have to be involved in that? I thought it just reduced static. No, it makes it soft. Whoa, are you?
Are you serious? What did you okay? When you when you put a sheet the dryer? What's that for?
Well, I I use woolen balls in the dryer just I bet you do. What's that supposed to mean sir nasty dog?
Anyway, I'm an adult after work. That's proven. Go ahead Travis
I'm just saying that if the brother that I love the most which now might be evident came to my house and said hey
These sheets on your guestbed suck and I brought you other ones to put on there and I'll put them on myself
I'd be like, okay. I don't care like it's my guest, but it really has zero impact on me
And in fact if anything this is a net gain because you brought the sheets you put them on it costs me nothing
You don't you don't even have to you don't even have to say against the sheet
You don't have to say anything bad against the sheets. Hey Becky. I hate to be a pain
But my doctor said I have perigabititis
Uh-huh have to use these
I think I got special sheets that I'm gonna leave here. There's special sheets that I'll leave here
I'm leaving them everywhere. I could possibly sleep but because of the perigabititis
I have I have to use these prescription sheets. There's also a good chance
You could just change out the sheets and like secret away the old sheets and your sister would never know never know
If anything your sister might one day years from now
Approach this to change the sheets on the guest bed and think are these the sheets I put on the guest bed
I don't know. I don't mind
Unless unless your sister's just crazy about these shrek ass sheets. Oh, I love exfoliating my guests. Yeah
Hey, can I approach the wizard? I wish you would
Cool, we got a this one was sent in by so many people and it's it is how to make a Star Wars movie. Oh
Well, oh, yeah
Yeah, just for how just for fun
You might like to toy around with making the next big episode in the Star Wars saga using your own home filming gear
I would it won't be as spectacular as Hollywood's special effects
But you assume but provided you focus on the fun of making a movie and use your creativity
You'll enjoy the experience and learn things in the process
Awesome. It probably won't be the next big episode in the Star Wars saga
So you did I feel like you opened with a pretty huge salvo there of like do you want to be Borge Lucas?
And then you like immediately dipped out of that
But I do like that they used they couched it though by saying it probably won't they weren't like this
Definitely won't be the neck. They're like, hey listen. I'm a fucking no man. Yeah, maybe
Listen, I'm gonna be afraid it probably won't
Listen, we can do this ourselves. This can be a fun little little game that we play
So step one think up some characters. You can't do anything until you got a couple main characters
You don't have to flesh it all out now
Just have enough to build a story around a good guy and a bad guy
Just make sure you have enough to start your plot now. Obviously we could also I mean if it's a next in the series
We could use some of the ones who started there. This is Chewie's big movie. You know what I mean?
Like that guy hasn't gotten enough to do right we start the problem is if you do that then you get in trouble with Lucas and
Okay, so come up with new guys a new good guy a new bad guy, okay?
Boy, I'll leave you right alone
spork
No
Spork magnificence the first name has to be normal, right? Oh, right. All right, Josh
My Josh is great. Yeah, Josh
G EOS
Yeah, right. Yeah
That's how they spell it on boba bean, which is the yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This one's Josh Dawn Treader
Josh, that's the now that's hitting me a little fantasy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What about
It's got to be something celestial and then a mode of transport. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Josh Sun Truck Josh Sunrunner Sun Trucker Josh Sunrunner is cool. That's
Pretty good way of making a cool mate
Fine, it's John John Josh Sunrunner
Well, then we can make if you want we can make the villain like
John Sun Trucker and it's very confusing. They're always getting confused everywhere. They go
Dr. Lucas made it easy on us for this one because first name is Darth and then the second word is just a nasty sounding word
So Josh Sunrunner hates his dad Darth
It can't be his dad. That's taken
Darth
Darth
Dark this is the bad guy. Yeah, dark. What's the good guy Josh Sunrunner?
Josh Sunrunner versus Darth flippings
Gotta be this city
Darcy is Vader. You know what I mean? Like it's gotta be okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Darth scab
Darth shit scab
Dar dar
What can't be dar dar dar?
Can't be dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar dar sauce
I
See your forces as powerful as my dar dar dar. Wait. Is this another villain talking to
Villains fighting to see who gets to be Josh Sunrunner's dad
Your mother your mother loves me more. There you go, dad
Yes, so this is to this is like we're combining Star Wars and daddy's home
Darth dar did under dar dar. No
Please call me Dar dar dar. For sure. Darth Dar dar versus Darth
S disappointed or something scar? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Scapeulous Darth scapicular stamp you FBI
Hematoma and then Darth scabular
Love is cool one to put in there because
It's just a dark scabula.
Okay, we can agree that dark scabula is the cool one, right?
Yeah, sure.
It's not dark, dark, dark.
We're rooting for dark scabula.
Well, now, don't assume whom I'm rooting for, Justin.
I'm rooting for the underdog.
You got to keep the fuel under the fire, under the writer's room.
And that's us right now, so let's keep it, let's keep it.
Who's writing this down?
Step two, the wiki.
Step two, couple the plot.
And can we agree that Marissa Tomei is playing the mom?
Can we just establish that now?
Well, I'm not casting her right now.
No, I'm just at this really tight.
Oh, my God.
Okay, but I can't picture it without her.
Okay, also, there's no moms in Star Wars only aunts.
That's...
Okay.
And we can't make Marissa Tomei another aunt.
That is true.
You know what I mean?
That is true.
Okay, so come up with a plot.
Awesome.
Start with the main idea, the main conflict of the movie.
We got that.
These two darts want to beat Josh's dad.
Next, think of some things that could happen along the way.
Okay, okay.
They take him out for a drive in the pod racer.
Yeah.
No, they take him to a pod race.
But Darth Scabula bets on the pod races.
Awesome.
And that's good or bad.
We don't like that.
Well, it's kind of up to the, yeah.
Oh, and through a series of misunderstandings,
Darth Dardar is in the race.
Oh, that's funny.
He shouldn't be.
He shouldn't be.
He was looking for the bathroom and he went in the wrong door
and suddenly he's out there in the pod race.
Okay, focus on a theme of your own.
You might want to make it really original,
like the Great Sith War or the New Republic.
Now, that's too big.
That's too much, like that's too much lore for me.
Yeah.
I like this.
I want to establish that this is a quiet time
in this galaxy far, far away, right?
Everything's pretty much, I'm not even going to say simmering
at this point.
This is just like, everyone's like,
well, I don't feel like doing anything right now.
So the darts have some free time.
Yeah, to fuck around.
Okay, so step three.
They're not fucking around.
Griffin, they're looking for love.
Right.
And all the wrong places.
And this next step is going to really be in our wheelhouse
because it's the literal next step in this WikiHow article.
And it does say, make it funny.
Oh, hell yeah.
Humor will improve the amateur.
Keep your grades up.
Keep your grades up.
Make it funny.
It'll improve the amateur moving,
allowing for much forgiveness for the amateur setting
and storyline.
Add a few jokes and punchlines to your movie.
It wouldn't be a good one without it.
Make sure that you understand people's styles
and make the humor fit each of them.
Here's an example scene they have.
Rebel one and Rebel two are walking.
Rebel one collapses.
Rebel two calls for his commanding officer.
Rebel two.
Sir, my partner collapsed and is not breathing.
What should I do?
Commander, make sure he is dead.
Then tell me.
Rebel two shoots Rebel one.
Rebel two.
Now what?
Oh my god.
That's a killing.
Wow.
That person's dead now.
Can I punch up that joke?
Yeah.
Rebel one collapses.
Rebel two.
I think he's dying.
Rebel one.
Nah, I'm just sleepy and I shit my pants.
Okay.
Funny.
That's funny to me too.
You could also have Josh, Stargitter.
Sunrunner.
I forgot his name.
Starrunner come up and like everybody's like,
wow, fucked up.
We just saw a murder on the screen.
But then Josh Sunrunner comes up and takes the laser out of him.
And now he's okay again.
Oh my god.
Do you know what I mean?
Because then that way you do get the really funny joke
that they come up with but you don't have to feel guilty about it
because you watch someone die.
Oh, okay.
Because he took the laser out.
Uh-huh.
So that's cool.
And you might be saying like that,
but that's not an established Star Wars power.
And to that I would say watch anything.
Watch any Star Wars shit that's come out for the last 10 years,
guys.
We're just having fun with it at this point.
Yeah.
Now, this does occur to me Griffin
because we hadn't, this is probably knowing Star Wars came
and something we should have decided early on.
Yeah, sure.
Is Josh a chosen one of some sort?
That's the dumbest thing you've ever said on this show.
Yeah, of course, yeah.
Of course, yeah.
So Josh and also he can turn into a wolf.
Part four.
Hell yeah, dude.
Produce a sprint.
Like a force wolf?
Yeah, of course it's a force wolf, Travis.
That's the second dumbest thing you've said.
Wait, before we move on, what have we established so far?
Josh Sunrunner is the, is a chosen, he is a chosen one.
He's a chosen one.
He is a chosen one.
He is the nephew of.
He's got it.
There has to be so much like you got to have something set up
so that in episode like the third or fourth episode of the show,
like fucking Greedo walks in and everyone's like,
oh, and that's them nutting.
Yeah, he's, he's Grogu's, he's Grogu's nephew.
He's Grogu's, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't want to, I don't want tied up with the Mandalorian verse.
Like, yeah, it's got to be, even though Timothy Ola
fancies in the Mandalorian verse, that's great.
I don't know why that changes the point.
Like, well, he's going to come out at the end and sweep
the mother aunt off her feet.
Is he maybe related to Kit Fisto?
Oh, yeah.
We're porkins.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Wedge Antilles, perhaps?
Yeah, he's the Death Star's grandpa.
Anyway, and then the Death Star shows up in the sky
and everyone's like, oh, yeah, baby.
I love that big shit.
He's why he's half Java.
He's half Java.
All right, all right.
Griffin, you're an architect in the Star Wars universe,
specifically.
Yeah, I got my fingers all over the Java pulse.
Produce a script.
You'll need this for the actors.
Oh, well, I didn't know that was part of writing a movie.
Yeah, it starts to get less fun.
Do you know how fucked up it is that Griffin's here doing this
and he did actually write it's part of the Star Wars
extended universe?
Yeah, that's why I'm so good at this part.
OK, that makes perfect sense.
Then just break off a couple of lines, Griffin,
that feel inherently Star Wars.
You know what I mean?
Like from the script?
Yeah, like, what's something that?
Because, listen, you can't just like, hey, how's it going, man?
That's not what someone in Star Wars would say.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
So, like, what's a Star Wars-y waiter?
OK, so this is like episode, this is the pilot.
Because I just decided it's on Disney Plus, this series.
But yeah, and Josh told me, I was like, I just feel something
calling to he's got like a British accent, right?
So he's like, yeah, I'll wait, how old is he?
He's 31.
I feel something calling to me from the stars.
And if that game, let me finish.
OK, I feel just something in there moving for me
and I can feel the power grow.
Is that fucking Greedo?
Now, wait, is that the sound of Josh nutting over seeing Greedo?
It's turning into a wolf.
It's he's.
Oh, right.
Of course, yeah, that happens when he nuts.
Let's get some humor in there.
He turns into a wolf when he nuts, like in Teen Wolf.
Yeah.
And at this point, I think I've decided we shouldn't do the two dads thing.
Oh, OK, I'm waiting.
Which of the darts do you want to get rid of?
Probably Dartadar, because that's not going to we can't make toys of them.
Can it be an unrelated storyline that is happening
offscreen that people keep waiting for it to intersect?
People love doesn't even have to be B.
I mean, it could be D extras.
Remember, Star Wars is full of extras.
Got to find extras.
Hey, guys, we're doing this kick ass movie about
can I see the script?
Well, we've got one line written so far.
Yeah, and we've made some major cuts.
But listen, we.
OK, I know, I know, I get it.
The problems with only having one line.
But if you're like being my movie and the one
kick ass like that, I feel something calling to me from the stars.
Is that Reno?
Oh, well, I'm like, I'm like, you can sell that shit in the room.
You don't have to give a script to the extras.
They don't have lines.
No way.
They just are going to react to Josh turning into a wolf.
And that's what we're selling this series on.
First. Oh, my God, this next part beats ass.
All right, this is creating the backdrop and effects.
OK, part one, make a set.
You'll need at least one set to film against.
Yeah, if you live near a city or in one, you could make it in Coruscant.
Awesome.
Huh. What? Where do you live?
Cleveland, you can make Cleveland look like Coruscant.
Easy, easy.
One to one.
Buildings, one to one.
If you live in the woods, it would be a good idea to make the movie in Kashik
or indoor indoor.
Yes, obviously, obviously.
You didn't need if you live in Arizona, in parentheses, desert,
you could make it on Tatooine.
Awesome. If you're in the mountains, I want to create a new planet.
Mountains can be hot.
Big field can be Naboo.
If you live near a swamp, make it Dagobah.
Welcome. This is my planet, backyardia.
I mean, it looks just like it's someone's backyard.
And these are the backyard against.
Yeah.
I have long been the mayor of Kroger parking lot.
You've made this long journey, Sunrunner.
And it looks like they're asking us to leave because we didn't acquire any permits.
Let us move to mom's basement here.
It's a stormtrooper.
My name is Carl.
Get out of my fucking Kroger's.
Get out of my car.
Do you want to be in my movie?
Yeah.
This one. Of course.
There's a lot of lines in this article that beat absolute ass.
And this is another one.
Step three, find suitable music.
You can play it on your guitar, but you can make it better by adding the real deal.
Hell, yeah.
Yes. Hell, yeah, dude.
Yeah. Get some real jizz in there.
Get some real space jizz in there would be so cool.
But how much cooler would Star Wars have been if it was like down to the down, down,
squirreling, and people will be like, well,
that's isn't the real deal music because it's just a guitar.
But damn, that's good.
But what if it was more like?
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
Oh, that's good.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
Do you think do you think that George went to John?
Did John Williams do the Star Wars?
He did, right?
He did some of it.
He did some of it.
And then he was like, so he and George was like, so we need a music for this scene
in a bar and then John.
That's a really good George Lucas.
Thanks.
And John Williams was like, OK.
I think it'll be like, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
And then George was like, no, I make it stupid.
Like boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
I make it sound like a child's toy.
Make it dumb, like dumb jazz.
What?
What did you call it, George?
Dumb jazz?
Did you mean to say jazz?
No, I meant jazz.
He wasn't thinking of jazz when I said that.
That's what they call it in space.
George you're saying that they call music jizz and say yeah, I'm George Lucas
I gotta go work on Howard the duck the only thing wilder than the moment that a person learns
That George Lucas called the music jizz
It's the music that George is the moment that George Lucas learns that semen is
Yeah, that would be the only thing water that's it too. Is it too late to know?
What's that people only know about it if I talk about it in interviews? Well, I can't stop myself from talking about
You've got jizz in your heart. You've got to let it out. What's a funny story? Isn't it get some actors
Remember how Harrison Ford flew the Millennium Falcon in circles just to lose the Imperials in the asteroid field and the Empire Strikes Back
Well spoilers. Well to get characters with good personality like solo you need actors with equally good personalities
Why do you know Tom Holland's Tom Holland's?
his brother
Get Tom Holland get Marissa to me
We're gonna get Robert Downey jr. Yeah, I get Cynthia in there and of course
What what would the film be with old Josh Sunrutter as Willem Dafoe we gotta have him
We need gotta get well up this is the thing because not a lot of people wait now stop the show Griffin just said Josh Sunrutter as Willem
Yeah, that's what it is
The other way I think the sentence I said was what would the film be with Josh Sunrutter as Willem Dafoe as if like I was
Pitching that to you. Yeah, you're pitching a parody of your own movie that you have. Yeah. Yeah. I love this
The rest of this article kind of think it might go
Now give me a job that long to foe might not normally have right
I'm hearing sex therapist this the rest of this
Article is boring except for there's one last step. This is create the DVD
Once you're satisfied send the movie to a menu making program like IDVD or others that work for you
Make a cool menu design then burn your movie to the disc. This is your prototype
If you're happy with your movie then burn some more sell them on the street or something maybe make a trailer
If someone came up to you on the street is like, hey, do you want to see do you want to buy for $10 the Star Wars movie?
I made
The answer to that will never be no. It would yes
I would actually rather do that than if someone how it says like I have a bootleg copy of a real Star Wars DVD
No, like ten bucks versus one I made. Yeah from scratch. Yeah, starring Willem Dafoe
Yeah, as himself as Josh
Sunrunner
His last we just don't look at I'm changing the movie again because I do feel like I'm taking a sort of like
directorial role at this point
It feels like an executive producer to me, but yeah more money
Well, so here's what I'm thinking is that you're cut you're constantly
Sure, so listen, I'm happy just being there to shepherd what I consider now my baby
Well, yeah, but I as the writer I got my hands on the scissors. We can co-make it
Traveling do you want to call your brother Charlie? We know Travis Russo. Yeah
So like the Russo brothers. Yeah, and I can be like a powerful movie producer and there's honestly only I
Can't think of too many of them and a lot of them are pretty bad. This is a shit. Yeah. Yeah, so let me just say that Kevin Feige
Well, let me do say this
No last name for the protagonists. He's just Josh. No
Hey, hey Justin, can you join me over here in my trailer? Yeah, I'd love to yeah
I'm willing to foe as Josh. We got we got it. I think we got a cut Griffin out. No, wait, we gotta give him a different name
We got to give who a different name Griffin. You can't just be Griffin. That's our brother. He's the producer of the movie
Yeah, we got to cut him out. He's it needs a new character though
So we're gonna give Griffin a character and then cut that character out of the movie
No, no, I'm saying in the rich fiction we're developing Griffin. Can't just be Griffin. Okay, I Josh too. We got a cut Josh too
Okay. Yeah, I agree. He's let's go back out of our trailer. Okay. Hey, do you want to handle it?
What would you just drink? I'll take care of it Griffin
Davidson as a new
Justin come back over here. That's a really good. It's a really good. It's really good. Let me talk to Griffin
He would be like a hut like a like a crazy. Oh wait, just a step back over here. I don't like that
I don't think I don't want I want Pete in the movie obviously, but not as a hood. That's it
I'm striking out on my own. What it's a solo project now. No, they already made solo and directing
This is this is my
Body of evidence, this is my I'm gonna make my own then I'm making my own movie
Okay, we'll run them next to each other simultaneously
Hey, we need to take a quick break and then when we get we're gonna go to the money zone is what is gonna happen?
I mean, that's what's happening
Oh, I see that might just sound like Babel to you, but I was actually speaking a foreign language and
That's because I learned it on Babel
This is not that is not a ringing endorsement for this actual advertiser. Yeah, unless you're speaking. Are you speaking Atlantean?
It's an actual service because I can't say it's so edifying to learn another language
It can make travel more fun. It could just keep the fucking neurons fire
Yeah, I mean just like make you feel like you're making progress in your life
Even though some other things might have run aground, you know
If one of your other friends knows the language you can badmouth a third friend in front of their face and they'd never know
That's so fun
Abel's 15 minute lessons make it the perfect way to learn a new language on the go choose from 14 different languages
Including Spanish French Italian German Pig Latin plus just learn them all at once. That's what I did learn
Not once Babel speech recognition technology helps you to improve your pronunciation

Come for the games and stay for the chaos
I
Have to do my laundry at a laundromat and I often find that people will leave their clothes in the dryer
Along after they're finished and I need that dryer. You don't mind where this is going
You're gonna throw away their clothes. They're closing the garbage
I don't want to just pull their laundry out and put mine in that seems rude and the laundry will get wrinkly
So I fold the clothes and put them on top of the dryer. I know that's weird, but is it too weird?
No one has caught me yet
Well, that's not a good follow-up
Yet I have no idea what I would say if someone caught me
I just don't want their clothes to get wrinkly, but I also need to use the dryer and I don't want to wait
Do I need to stop doing this?
That's from secretly folding laundry in San Antonio
I'm fucking stumped man. I got I don't know what weird is anymore. I've lost all kind of like perspective
Yeah, oh, you know who could help
Let me call Chris gathered real quick because he actually
He's not gonna take your call. Well, let me see. Come on. He's so busy. I'm dialing
Oh
Sometimes it feels like you just dial with your heart. That was just me making noises with my mouth
Okay, now I actually call him. You know, I got him on speed dial
Also, it's way too many numbers. Where is he really fucking busy? Who is this?
Oh, I told you hi Chris Chris gets a welcome to our phone call
We're having together a real phone call. Thank you for calling
But do you know how much it cost me to get the custom number when you wish upon a star?
Oh
That was that was supposed to be Bob off black sheep boys my face red
I think we may we may have just docks to you Chris gathered for our more musically inclined listeners
Yeah, it's like a vanity plate, but phone number
Once I was on TV for the first time I
Demanded the phone company give me when you wish upon a star as my phone number. Yeah
Yeah, they did it because you're one of the Hollywood elite
Big time. I'm known for it. Yeah, that you'd synonymous at this point when someone's like, you know, like a famous person like a like a
Chris gethard. Yeah. Yes. Yes
And then someone says who and they go he was on the office after Steve Carell left
He played Dr. Gary Lamar shot NBC's blind spot show some respect
I
Blind spot isn't blacklist. No, that's it. Thank you Justin. That's really that's a helpful mnemonic device
I used to keep blind spot separate in my mind
Yeah, my mother-in-law for every Sunday will be a quarter for dinner for
Literally 18 months in a row. We say have you guys started watching the blacklist yet?
I'm thinking about it man. It's worth it just for James Bader and every time the pitch is the same
We had a laundromat question come up
you had no way of
Hearing it
So I just wanted to sort of recap for you basically someone wants to use the dryer at the laundromat
But there's clothes in it and they take them out and fold them and they want to know if that's okay
And I just want to get like your take on it sort of it, you know
You're a real close horse and we know that like you're you're big into fashion and we wear supreme
Stuff all the time and so we just figured you know your way around a laundromat. Well, I actually have pretty strong opinions on this
Okay, all right cuz I lived I lived in Queens, New York for many years in a building that had shared laundry and
way too few machines for way too many residents. Yeah, and
You are absolutely allowed
Well, there's like a certain set of social social graces you have to go through there's steps
You have to go in you have to realize that the dryer is sitting there full of laundry you have to get kind of huffy about it
You have to look around
You have to open the door of the dryer
Then you have to look around again to see if anybody's coming shut the door
Then you have to quietly simmer that someone has put you in this position
Wait, wait, wait opening the door and shutting the door. Is that like a trap a distraction? What's the purpose?
Performative is it to draw attention you open it because you realize you're being put in the bad position of having to touch someone else's clothes
I'm gonna give them 10 more seconds to get down here and handle this and then you open it again
But you give it that cursory open like I cannot believe another human being did not
Set a timer or pay attention to their timer on their phone or whatever
they are putting you in a bad position and at that point if they haven't arrived you are
allowed to
Toss all of their clothes into one of those rolly racks and leave their clothes there and I've been on both ends of this
I've tossed my fair share of clothes into rolly racks, and I'm not I'm not proud to say on one or two occasions
I've come down to a laundry room and found my clothes in a dryer and I deserved it
I deserve that and I know that I put that person through some mental duress, but never fold another person's clothes
Thank you, I cereal. Yes
That's why I would rather walk up to someone at a nice steak restaurant
And then reach down and pick up the steak off their plate and then set it back down
Then interface with their clothes on such a deep and intimate level
Intimate that's the word
recondo that shit
On on such a large scale. That's that makes me want to be sick and listen you could say listen
Wonka make the argument that at that moment
It's the cleanest the clothes could be and then you're sullying them
With you if I came in and also I like my shirts folded a particular. Yeah, they're gonna fold it wrong
That's what I was gonna say
They're gonna fold it wrong not the way the special way you like to do and I'll say you're gonna find out
I left like a paper towel in my pocket and now there's scraps everywhere
And you're gonna know that I lazily threw my jeans in there or whatever I get it
You're gonna come across like a sweater that should have been laid flat to dry that I clearly didn't give two shits about yeah
You're gonna judge me. That's my secret shame
You're not supposed to know about that if I came upon a pile of my own clothes that had been folded by a
Nameless faceless stranger. I would have to throw those clothes away and I had to move out of that building
Building because someone would have that on me forever. Yeah, right. There's such an invasion. I mean for starters
What if your silky drawers are in there? Yeah, exactly your silky sexy drawers or worse?
You're lazy day drawers. You're lazy day drawers like you don't want someone pawed all over your unimensionables. That's a no
Problem and then you know, also, what if they do something weird like fold your underwear?
Yeah, you don't like I would never fold my underwear in any scenario in my life ever
Roll it. No, you want it up. You want it up and jam it in. There's no I'm a finite
Person right my night life like I'm not gonna fold my underwear. No one will ever see it like you jam it in
Yeah, now Chris anything else
Do you want it up and jam it in you want it up and jam it in you can say just jam it in say yourself a step now
Chris when you lived in New York and you had this issue. Did you did you?
Did you never just like go out to your window and put all the clothes on the clothesline that ran between your building and the building across from you?
Watch the kids play stick ball
Cat's having fights and trash cans and somebody yelling about a pizza or something while the gangs of New York did battle down on
Yeah, that guy selling who shaved down some ice off the big block ice was clanging his old bell
As they collected dead from the plague
Every once in a while, I'd do that sure
Yeah, okay
Like I would take advantage of that if I get like I don't want downy fresh clothes
I want the smell of the city on me like at all times
Mm-hmm, and then some detective sidekick a little put a pawn boy in a news boy cap
He'd yell up at me. Hey, mr. Don't hang those clothes there. This is a this is a active investigation miss stuff, right?
Like I saw something, but I ain't talking
Yeah, and then they would come put the screws to you
I imagine and also it's good because when you put your clothes on on that clothesline if someone falls out of building
They can land in your unmentionables and that's gonna help break the fall and be comical
I have another problem on top of the dryer is the dirtiest place in my house. It's feel it's covered in lint
Yeah, that's disgusting now. You just in linted their their garments. That's this hurry. That's the punishment though
I would say to Chris's point from earlier if they wanted to avoid the inlintening then they should have been down there
Before the timer ran out not after like if it's gonna take like 48 minutes or whatever
You set your timer for 43 minutes to give yourself time to get down there and be poised and ready to remove your clothes as
Like your hand should be on the handle when the buzzer goes Chris
I have a judgment call for you because you've had more experience in this less weird
Folding someone else's clothes or taking their clothes and putting them back in the washer and when they come down just like you must begin again
The cycle starts anew putting them back in the wash it's such a fuck you
I
Looked at them. They were still dirty. You had to go one more again
What if you pulled them out and then you piece by piece hid them separately around the room and left a note like yes
Your clothes are clean and dry, but it's up to you to find them. You have all the clues
That would drive a person truly insane if a person came down to the laundry room in their building and was like I am
Positive I switched these from the washer to the dryer. Why are they back in the washer? That's like an Edgar Allen Poe level
psychological torture
We need a third device
We need a third appliance and though in the clothes cleaning
Process where you wash and then you dry and then we need like a proving
Drawer where extra clothes can be stored so that someone else can get down on the on the well
If we're trying to avoid maybe just put it in and it just bounces them around for a while, right?
It's not really doing anything except they can't settle into wrinkles. Yeah, it's just keeping them vibrating
That's good a vibrator. We could just call it a vibrator. I just got a vibrator. I feel like wrinkles is a burden if you
If you let it go longer than the dryer and you are not there to get your own dryer stuff out promptly
I mean ideally before the buzzer goes off certainly within three to five minutes after it goes off if it goes past that window
Wrinkles are your burden to bear. That's your penance to pay and you know that and that's part of the social contract of living in a
City where you shared laundry rooms
I
If I was on an elevator in a building
Unsure if one of the other people in their head at some point folded my clothes for me
Uh-huh. Yeah, I would have to be dead
I would have to find a way to turn off my heart and my brain because I'd know I would I would I
Would never be able to look anyone in the eye again a wrinkly clothes are and accept it
Everyone knows that when you live in a society, there's certain actions that have consequences and not getting to the dryer promptly
Means you might have wrinkly clothes. I'd much prefer wrinkly clothes on my own terms
Then folded clothes on someone else's and I'll die on that hill
Also that way when you walk around the building wearing wrinkly clothes or if you spot someone else doing you're like that's them
I know that's the person who leaves the laundry in there. Now Chris. Let me let me ask you this because I'm dying to know
Would it be better or worse if the question asks
Or had printed up some business cards with their face with a picture of them and their name on it
And like their apartment number that said like listen, I don't want you to worry about this
I did it. I folded your clothes and this is my schedule. Should you choose to avoid me for the rest of our like or it says on there like hey, I
I'm trying to get into business for myself
Only the first one's free though
So if you would like this kind of attention to detail, you know, if you do our white glove service in folding laundry
If you came down and they were tied up in some like like parchment paper with like
Like on a cruise ship when you get them and they all got the little tags and they're a basket
Oh, I feel like that's gonna turn this from like weird to ooh, I've got like a fairy godmother. Yeah
Oh, Chris, what's the what else you got going on? What's going on with you, bud?
You want to just stick around and rap for a while? Yeah, what's going on? What's going on with me?
I'm a dad now. I got a beard now
everything
Happens simultaneously happen. I mean
They all tie into a midlife crisis. That's very clear
Triggered a larger midlife crisis that has now reflected itself in facial hair. Yeah, that's why you called your baby Corvette
I get it now. I didn't I actually got a Vespa with the first baby
And then I was like that was fucked up and then with the second baby. I like reflexively got another Vespa
Yeah, so yeah, that was weird. Now, I'll tell you Chris when my first was born
I had a very long beard right up until she was about nine months old
At which point she was able to make full-blown fists and attempt to remove my beard from my face at which point
I shorn it down to quite a short level
So just I am not quite certain how old your baby is but you've got that to look forward to
He's about to be three and I oh, I cannot grow enough facial hair to
Have him he already
Punches me kicks me
Yeah, I was in my face. He's at that age already where
He I'll tell you the exact window
He's in because I've heard that most kids go through this is
He can pee in the potty no problem
But he gets really embarrassed about pooping
So he poops in the diaper and then when you go to change the diaper, he's humiliated and shamed and reacts with rage and violence
That's the exact window
That's how I feel when I poop too. Just like still it's grow. It's it sucks that we have to do that
It's so weird and and our parents told me I was the only one who did it
Um
That's fucked up that they said that to you trap. Yeah, I know it's really weird
Hey, you got a you got a new uh, uh essay coming out from from scribed
Oh, yeah, I'm promoting. I just I wrote a thing called dad on pills. It's on a service called scribed
Um, it's like it's not quite book length, but it's up there
You can get an audiobook or ebook and it's all about I wonder, you know, I think a lot of people of our generation
It's like we're the first people who started openly saying like hey, I take depacote. I take xanax. I have anxiety
I have depression. We're all going to talk about these things
But I wrote a thing that's all been about how I'm reconciling that with being a dad because a dad
Like you're supposed to be a role model. Hmm mole rattle mole rattle
My father was a
Fantastic orator and a fine mole rattle for me
It's like I've spent my whole adult life feeling sort of like broken and not like a god
No, I don't feel like a man by the traditional standards. So how do and now I have a son. That's ridiculous
So I it's all about that and it's pretty funny and I like it and it's raw and it's real
Can I ask you a question chris that I was struggling with last night? Sure. And this is a little more serious
Well, we everybody's allowed to get so heavy. It's just like one more thoughtful. Um, the
My kids are you know, like talking and but not
Communicating just like, you know how kids are just sometimes like I just gotta make some noise
Oh, yeah, and they were both doing it and I was really getting stressed out because I get too much like
Noise people talking and then you're feeding the kids and it gets like just because of the way my brain's all put together
I got like unduly frustrated and like really in my head about it. And I really struggled with
Should I like
Should I tell my kids that like it's hard for me when this is happening like
It was a real struggle. Like I didn't know really how to handle it
Like I I felt weird telling them that they had to modify my behavior because of my
You know mental illness and like I feel like as a parent sometimes
I have this urge that I should just like keep trucking
And keep on pushing through no matter no matter what but it did feel like
Admitting a a frailty
To them and I and I don't know. I just want to get your thoughts on that sort of that's exactly what I did
This thing that I wrote it's exactly about all those questions like that and and I'm with oh, so you're saying I gotta get
It's gotta get his
Plug plug plug
No, but I'm with you and it's exactly just I sit there and I have all those instincts too of like
I better put the poker face on and I better make them think everything's okay
And I gotta be strong for my son and my dad did all those things for me
And he's a great dad, but then I also think about how many years I've unwrapped
So much of those exact things
in therapy and
How that mentality of feeling like you need to be tough in the face of stuff and how
You shouldn't show emotion like how much that built to boiling points for me and I go
Oh, this is all stuff that instinctively I'm feeling like I have to do because that's the only example
I know maybe some of it's example. Some of it's biological. I don't know
But it didn't work out well for me all those traditional like
I wish that maybe at you know
I'm not the only person of my age who probably wishes my dad could have been a little more emotional, you know, who
Could have let his guard down at times and maybe that would have let me let my guard down and I sit here and I'm like, man
I am a mess like I'm I'm an actual mess. I had an incident
We moved to our house in jersey
And I I write about this in the thing that I'm plugging, but I I started to have
um
Like an attack like I've had these panic attacks these anxiety attacks over the years and I realized I hadn't looked up
The mental hospital closest to me at my new house
So I looked it up just in case I had to go and it was one that we used to when we were growing up in jersey
One big thing that people like to do for fun is they go and they break into abandoned mental hospitals
Yeah, it's really fun
and I was like, oh
It's gray stone hospital. I've broken into the abandoned parts of that
Am I really going to go be is that the full circle moment of my life like when I was 16
I used to break into this mental hospital for fun and now I'm going to go be a patient there and
I'm in my yard
holding my
That's the real circle of life
And I'm like googling that with my phone in one hand while holding my son in the other and crying
And I'm just like, oh, I am
Am I I am bad at being a dad in the traditional sense
so how do I
how do I do this and
When I went to look for advice on it, there wasn't much out there. So I just wrote a thing that is funny
I I'm not qualified to give advice, but it's like a funny look at stuff like this stuff
Maybe yeah, we've been doing it for 13 years. There you go. Yeah, you build it, right?
You just start getting honest. You just got to start getting honest
You can also just and you can just do what I do
Which is I I'm very open about my emotions in my mental health with my kids
But then I also I also tell them stories about different wild animals that I've been in fist fight with
And like how much I've embarrassed those animals and be like, yeah
There's one time three bears came in and I whooped their ass
I do that too. Like I'm like, yeah, I know I'm crying about this McDonald's commercial I saw
And I don't seem to be very okay, but I built that table you're eating on kid. Yeah, right, right? Oh, yeah
I just watched 30 seconds of a homework bound and yeah, and now I'm sobbing
But also watching me pick up this heavy chair. I can't listen to solo salute from sussical. So what kid get off my case
I gotta punch this drywall
Hey, you're going you're going on uh on the road again. Yeah, how you that's gotta feel gotta be exciting
Oh, it's the best. I I'd start it going on the road last year and then the omicron shut it down. Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, baby. Yeah, baby
Yep
