My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 650: Dadfishing

Episode Date: March 6, 2023

We’re so sorry about last episode. It turns out we had on a role-player and not the real Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis. But don’t worry, we’ve got the real one this time, and he’s here to talk about animals that build their own houses, pretending to be a famous gentleman thief, and different kinds of cheese that he has definitely eaten before.Suggested talking points: Eternal Shadow of My Spotless Mind, Beefers and Haters, Mustard Chief, Little Pinchy Crab Boy, Interactive Plumber, MozzcarEquality Florida: https://www.eqfl.org/

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 mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? To a precious friendship I could've never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach My life, it feels like

My life, ah, ah, ah It's better, it's better with you My life, ah, ah, ah It's better, it's better with you This is true, ah, ah, ah It's better, it's better with you My life, ah, ah, ah, ah It's better with you

Hello everybody, and welcome to my brother, my brother main. Advice show for the modern era, I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middlest brother, Travis McElroy. And I'm your sweet baby brother, 30 under 30, media luminary girl from McElroy. Can I, Justin, I want to ask you something? Yeah Recently it was Cooper, one of my beloved niece's birthdays And she told me that he was going to shave for her birthday.

Oh, interesting. And now it's interesting because here we are, well past, well past her birthday. Well past. Did you grow it back in the last like two weeks or what happened? No, I just didn't, I didn't do it, Travis. Didn't do that one? I've been sorely tempted, I gotta be honest. I'm starting to see some of the skin irritation here.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I never had a problem with that before I started growing the beard. Yeah, it's not for everybody. I can't stop touching the dang thing. I almost shaved last night. Maybe, I thought about maybe as a step down, I could adopt Griffin's sort of perma scruff. You know how Griffin- I work very hard to keep this-

To make it look like you don't work. Yeah, Griffin's eternal shadow. But the eternal shadow of my spotless mind. What's your secret, Griffin, to make it look like you don't put any effort into your facial hair situation? Good question. Yeah, it's almost like that's the cool way to do it, gang. Now, what I'm dealing with- You've never, but okay, I've never, this is not an exaggeration.

I see you on video three or four times a week. Sure. You are never cleanly shaved, but it's never longer than it is right now. That's as long as it gets, Justin. As long as it gets. That's as long as it gets, Justin. It just kind of like dusts off. As the hair gets longer, it just kind of like disintegrates at the tip.

It's barely holding on as it is. What I'm dealing with, and it's good that we're on video here, because you guys can see this, my face is really sending me the message of like, I think it's time for you to go full goatee. Because mustache and chin- Oh, no, Travis. Brown. But look at my cheek. You can't go goatee.

Do you mean- sorry. Van Dyke. Sorry. Excuse me. Van Dyke. Thank you. Here's the way I remember it. Our dad has a Van Dyke, and if you shave to a Van Dyke, you look like our dad.

Yeah. That's fine. The problem is I'm already getting that a lot. Right? People will see pictures of me and be like, you look like your dad. And I'm like, yeah, because he's my dad. But I'm worried that, but like, all of my cheek hair is white. It's like my cheek saw something really scary that the rest of my face didn't quite catch.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Do you have- do you have gum? This is Travis? Travis. This is episode 600. Yeah.

I thought I could finally let my guard down and be a little more comfortable with my brothers. Did you just forget that it was- it couldn't have been a sneaky little sneaky old deal that you- I forgot. I forgot. I have ADHD. You guys are being pretty mean to me right now. Not since Griffin Newman has eaten a bagel on every second of every episode of the Blank Check Podcast. You can't compare that.

You cannot compare a tiny piece of chewing gum, which might give some people some ASMR. You're welcome to Griffin Newman going goblin mode on a fucking bagel in the middle. If this show has a motto, it is ASMR is not a menu. No, damn it. That is not a- Except for the one episode. That we did, that was specifically that. Yes.

You had to pay us to do it, to do that ASMR stuff. Now, Justin, you emphasize that like it's normal to pay someone else so that you can do ASMR on them. Hey, can I pay you $10 so that I can do ASMR in your ears? I don't think that's how the transaction works. No. I move my light and it's making like a shadow from my microphone and I don't- I sort of rearrange my whole setup. This isn't entertaining. It does look like the shadow man is right behind- and he's about to get Justin.

Yeah. The shadow- I got my two- I've got both of my Frazier Funko Pops. Yeah. Up here, still trying to complete the set. I got Frazier and Martin and Eddie. I know there's a Niles and maybe a Maris. Here I dream.

Did you- did you redesign your whole office around those two Frazier Funko Pops? Well, I was able to take down the doll. Finally, the doll. Oh, I see. Mine's not going anywhere. See, Neutral Bird is right here. She's sticking with me. I'm out now in main office land where you can see-

You have such an incredible background, Travis. Thank you. It's so verdant. It looks like they're full of life. Yeah, verdant. That's a good word. Thank you. Good verdant.

I like to be surrounded by life so that I can pretend like death doesn't exist. That's kind of my deal. That's beautiful, man. I love that. Yeah. Should we like do the show or whatever? I would like to do a show. This is the show.

What? What? This is the show. This is the show. There's this house down the road that clearly loves Mickey Mouse. The entire outside is covered in Mickey and Minnie. There are several statues on the porch and in the lawn and a wood carving and the windows have Mickey plushies.

So I can only imagine what the inside looks like. Every time I go to the antique store, I see lots of him everywhere. This is, sorry, in the email, it is a capital hymn, which I very much support. Yeah. Mitchell Mouse. I live everywhere and I have an overwhelming urge to contribute to their collection, but I have no idea who lives there. Brothers, should I gift this house more mouse?

If so, how should I go? How should I do it without seeming like a little weirdo? Good Mickeys. That's from Good Mickeys to Make Good Neighbors. Now I, listen, I say this with no judgment. I don't think you can do it without seeming a little weirdo, but this person has gone full house theme of mouse. Yeah.

I don't think they will mind a little weird. I think this is a keep blank name of city weird kind of vibe that they're going for. So I don't think you have to worry about like, is this going to make me seem a little eccentric? I can't think of anything more hip and counterculture than a house full of Disney merchandise. Nothing screams to me like, that's some really off kilter shit. Yeah. I don't understand these people that want to drape themselves in brand iconography. Yeah.

It's really, I don't know, the impulse is so strange to me. I love your shirt by the way, doesn't it? Thank you. I got it at the Disney store. It's got lots of little Mickeys on it. Yeah, I love that man. That's great. You could do it.

Oh, pretend to be just a little crow dropping off tiny presents. Oh, fun. Yes. Wait, do you mean secretly? Yes. No, I think, I thought, I was assuming like a big crow costume. No, no, no. Okay, wait, is Griffin's, Justin, in your mind, Griffin saying dress up like a crow and

I'm saying do it in secret. No. Is yours worse? No, no. I said dress up like the crow. Oh, okay. No, that's better. Okay, now we're in.

That's exact. I came back to bring you this Mickey telephone. Yeah. Guys, keep doing jokes for a second. I got to move this slide. I'm losing my mind. Yeah. Do you like, if you guys could do like three jokes, I should have it done by then.

Let's see, what else would the crow do? Give me some corn. I've never seen the film. Not a joke. That wasn't a joke. That one wasn't a joke. Because it, well, that guess that's true. I don't know if the Eric Craven, was that his name?

Here's the thing. When I see Mickey Mouse. That couldn't be Eric Craven. That couldn't be it, right? That can't be it. When I see Mickey Mouse, I get stoked. Okay, yeah. I get stoked to see Mickey Mouse and you know why?

Because I don't see him that often. And so if I see Mickey Mouse, I'm like, I'm about to have a great time. Excuse me. It's Eric Draven. Okay. The worst. The worst. And I know what you're saying.

So the crow is Eric Draven? Draven. Yes, correct. I think that if you surround yourself with Mickey to this degree, you won't like Mickey anymore. And I don't know why I'm saying this sentence. Because the person who asks this question doesn't need that information. Well, I'll tell you what this is.

This is what happens, you know, I think we've talked about it many times on this show. When you say like casually to your family, like, oh yeah, I love unicorns or whatever. And then every present for the future is something. This is somebody who did that, got a lot of Mickey's and said, well, I have two options. Tell my family I don't like the presents they've given me or go full, full Mickey, whole hog Mickey. Yeah. And they just leaned way into it, baby.

I think that. Okay, so relationships are, we all know they're on a spectrum, right? You have your very dear close friends. And then you have like people you give the dad nod to at school. It's like the very long, it's like that's the whole spectrum. Haters and beefers are like. Yeah, there's negatives on the other side, Justin. What do you mean?

Oh, my God. You see like your best buddies and then like in the middle is like dad nods. And then on the other side is haters and beefers. Okay. Well, I'm talking about friendship. No. No haters allowed here. Okay.

What about beefers? Beefers? No, not those either. I'm just talking about friends. Okay, so. Justin, sorry. Not beefers. I beefers like grinds with key first.

I have no negative feelings towards beavers whatsoever. In fact, if I saw a beaver and a beaver, damn, I'd be fucking out of my mind. They're like little architects. Are you kidding me? They're the only other. Well, I guess that's not true because you have ant hills. I was going to talk about like building structures. We have ant hills.

Yeah. And then I'm sure that there's other animals that build structures, right? Yeah. Like probably monkeys. There's like primates that must. All right, go ahead. What I'm saying is that you, by doing this, you are skipping. Birds.

Bird nest. Oh my God. Sorry. I just, I completely forgot about bird nests for a second. What's wrong with me? Sorry guys. I tell you from time to time. Thank you.

They just build their own houses. Some of them hang from a tree. How do they do it? Some of them use their spit to build it. Bees. Bees. Bees. Of course.

A lot of other creatures, humans aren't special. You're right guys. Fuck us. Justin, what were you saying? Anyway, what I was saying was you're skipping several relationship steps by giving this Mickey to this person. Yeah. That may be fine.

They may be okay with that because it's a Mickey. That's a kind thought. You thought of me. No, we don't know each other, but let's like, let's meet, but you may end up in a situation where you're like a third of the way up the friendship spectrum, which is where random gifts are, with an absolute maniac. I mean, you could end up like in a, you're in a relationship and you're, you're fast forwarding ahead.

You haven't done any pre-pro, any recon to see. You don't know what the vibe is. Yeah. You don't know what the vibe is. Yeah. You got to know what it is. It's not, can I say this? I'm wondering what you've told me already.

It's not what you're used to. It's not immaculate. That's for sure. Five wise. It's not an immaculate vibe. Yeah. That's a great point. Cause I'll tell you what this person has, there's the one thing I know about this person

besides the fact that they like Mickey. They are into committing to things. Oh, interesting. They are going to jump feet first into this friendship. And if you're not prepared for that. Maybe that's what you want. Is that the worst thing gang? You don't know though, right?

Mickey, Mickey is a friend to all. There's no lover to none, but there's no pre-rex on being Mickey's friend. He is a very big 10. That's true. There could be a lot of different people. I would say Justin, a lot of people are Mickey's friend. That does not mean Mickey is their friend. You know what I mean?

Like, I would help Mickey's everybody's friend. Do you think Mickey would help me? Everybody's friend? No. Maybe Pete. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. I'm pretty sure they've squished The Beef at that point. They are no longer Beefers. And Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He's, he's, he's all right. He's antagonistic, but I think it's just because he pushes people away.

Yeah. Right. Cause he's afraid. But he always gets there. He always gets where you need him to be. Right. Like the Halloween party is a great example where he's like, no one wants to come to my Halloween party.

But then they show up and he's like, cool. Prove that you deserve to come into the party. I know, right? And it's like, that's weird. That's fucked up. Pete is a very useful narrative tool for the Disney studio because in like Mickey Mouse clubhouse It's like oh gosh, Pete ate all the snacks and in the Mickey's Christmas Carol. Pete is dragging people to hell Yeah, Pete it can be as bad as you need him to be sometimes. He's just like the neighbor that keeps goofy on his toes

Right there in the middle is toxic friend Goofy's like no treat your son like shit Or whatever somewhere in there is when he decapitates goofy at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3 which is like pretty Hey, can we go to the wizard? I feel like we really Way out of control on that question This is wiki how though this is your own competing Mickey collection go on griffin. That's good, too This is from wiki how tech What this one?

This one's from wiki how Tech the future is you the cyber is now how to become a Facebook role play 20 son-in-sea the cyber is never is now Perhaps you've seen some of your friends on Facebook talking to each other by writing stories on each other's walls Well still using their own names for example, someone might write I am Hannah said Hannah What is your name? She asked and you might also notice them talking about role-playing. So what are they doing? The role-playing of course Role-playing is a lot of fun in any context and it's just as much fun on Facebook What's you get the hang of it role-playing on Facebook can be a very entertaining way to spend a little of your time on Facebook

Here's what to do wait Hold on. Yeah, is that a thing people do? Role-play on Facebook. I've never Presumably I've never seen that before I see a lot of people doing fun tiktoks like pretending to be brands or yeah Yeah, pretending to be but I've never just like gone on my friend Bradbury's like Facebook page and posted me pretending to have a conversation with someone I guess in his Comments what I'm so confused. Well, I think we're probably gonna find out. Yeah

It's almost like the first thing is understand what a role-player is I Understand that I get that if this weren't a thing Travis, they wouldn't have written an article about it for wiki-hows the tech Okay, I understand what a role-player is many people don't understand role-playing at all Travis and just see role-players as Posers which they are most certainly not the definition of a role-player or Facebook role-player in this case is someone who assumes or acts out a Particular role God almighty. Yeah, so many plays a role you say wait slow down wiki How let me take notes role-playing involves picking a character from a TV show movie book or even a celebrity lineup and acting It's them. It's exactly the thing on Facebook It's the same thing on Facebook

Just make sure to tell people you are a role-player and who you are supposed to be so that everyone is clear as to what is happening cool Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be so cool if I put up a post It's just like everybody we're doing a book signing Saturday and and then someone came into the comments and it was like well I I Lupin will be there. I hope there are no diamonds. They are for me to parlor There's like an asterisk is like I am not Arsene Lupin. I Don't get it twisted Do not be confused. I am not master thief Arsene Lupin

But when I am there I would appreciate it if you address me as such But please don't get scared or worry about your valuables for I am not the real Lupin I will simply be role-playing now that might involve me stealing But I will be stealing in character. I want to have I will then fence those jewels in Character and I'll spend that money on PlayStation 5 games. Yeah in character. It looks like You had a really fun time at that birthday trip. I Don't understand why I wasn't invited. It's me master chief. I just I thought we were close enough I am not master chief. I'm Derek choose your character to role play

I just like someone has discussed in the previous step or make up your own character. That's even that's even cooler That would be sick if you change your name in Facebook and your image to master chief Yeah, and then all of a sudden you got a bunch of people who are like scrolling through looking for people to remove as we all do on Facebook Like I don't every day person. You're out. You're not wait a minute. Can't friends with master. She can't take them. I'm sick Oh, it's master chief's birthday. Oh, I get him.

Yes killed him and now he's the new Jim knows a Dracula in the OC universe. Oh

Yeah, yeah, dude He wants to turn Ryan into a Dracula but not without his permission. Sure cuz consent is key, right? I do think though that Jimna could have picked a better place to live than sunny Orange County. Oh, I started Jim the sparkles This is a great that I've been doing this kind of the kind of OC fan fiction stuff for years I mean like before anybody I I'm may I think Yeah, I think I may be the OC OC OG if I if I can cheese juice I see I Travis you to at to Brute

Create a new Facebook account Instead of using your actual To be against the TOS right now you everybody gets the one you got to sign in with your college email Right, and then if college even use this Facebook and then you're stuck with that one forever, right? That's how mark and God planned it Make sure if you are role-playing as a celebrity to put in your name that you are fake or put RP for roleplay Look up roleplayers from your favorite genre of roleplay. Sure. Okay, okay I'll be role-playing as Brennan Lee Mulligan role-playing as Travis. Oh, that's interesting

That's good. I'm gonna see if master chief is on Facebook man I bet if Brennan Lee Mulligan role role played as Travis McRoy. That would be the most like old Travis McRoy There's ever been right that would be the best verse. I would tell you damn guys Master chief lives in Washington, DC We've been spelling his name does we've been we've been spilling his fucking name wrong this whole time. It's C. H. E. I. F. Is master chief? Okay, that's why I haven't been able to find him in the yellow pages and Griffin doesn't make sense He would have to work at the Pentagon, right?

You wouldn't let master chief just like kick it at a best buy and like Kansas you'd want him closed by in case Those the bad people attack that I can't remember the name of this is interesting Master chief hasn't been active on Facebook for 11 years What's he doing? See I messed me looking at a different Facebook Master chief because the one I don't understand I don't even understand how that could be how there could be more than one master I'm looking at the public figure who has 83,000 followers.

Think about if so, I think everyone should just delete all social media, right? Step five start role-playing when role-playing with somebody make sure not to use chat speak language Use good spelling and grammar so they can understand you make sure to notify them before you start role-playing with them and send them a starter Hey, Doug tomorrow.

Real in your name also add the real celebrity then tag them in a post for example write a status putting at and then the person's name saying I am a role-player and Blank is the real deal and then in the image here There's a post written that said my sword is elvish made Lego loss is my role play Huh, that's one way to do it. Okay. Yeah. Legolas is my constant What's injured? I just connected earlier in this weeky how tech article when they said you might think role-players are posers That they mean that like posing as somebody.

You're not listening, right

I Just pointed at the headphones. He's wary. He's so clearly listening. I'm not used to Someone else doubling down on a bit that didn't work. Yeah, usually my thing and it's making me Anxious, okay, but listen. Is this how you usually feel when this happens when I do it We've known each other for such a long time Travis I find it helps to think of like the really good stuff Justin has done for me in my life I'd like the moment so moments where he's been there for us like when you if you think about that it makes it a lot easier to sort of You know hold on tight and sort of okay. I'll wait on the back in the ride for your life. Yeah

Mama Mia that took a long time to For you to sort out sorry Daniel Now I noticed Daniel you said mama Mia there was that just a fun Vacation or is that in relation to the mud squad I couldn't help but notice you said mama Mia there Daniel I shouldn't be I shouldn't be I feel so comfortable with you. You too. I shouldn't be yeah revealing this I have been I'm one of the finalist For the role of

Mario Mario, yeah Some sort of interactive plumber. Yeah, but I've been studying I've been in Italy, oh Few months swimming in the sewers No, I'm practicing So you've been a bit out of you've been out of touch as far as like the trades and information and stuff go I have never followed the trades. Why do you why do you ask? Oh, well the interactive plumber role has been given to

Fellow I would say fellow deep dive method actor Christopher Pratt. Oh You know him it's a wait, it's It's a him Mario Mario Mario Mario It's a him. Yes. Yeah, it is a it is a sorry. I thought you were confirming Mario's pronouns. It's a him It's a him. Yeah. Yeah, Christopher Pratt. Yeah, he's a Mario. He's a Mario. Yeah. Yeah, the only one as far as I know So I've missed I've lost the role again Again, what? Sonic oh

Yeah, Tetris guy. Yeah, you could have done Tetris guy actually I think that was your best chance I could have been give me a Sonic little Sonic Daniel. Give me a little bit of Sonic Daniel. Oh Sure Sight a bit more chili on that Sausage that's not very good man. I enjoy them. I Bit out of hey Daniel. I'm sorry Griffin doesn't have an acting degree and I do I thought that's fair I what the fuck do I know that that was very Santa Floskey. That's that's one. Thank you Travis. That's wonderful Hey, Griffin. How is that? Was that a good job buying into it Griffin?

Do I do? Yeah, you were you were brother of the year right there? I feel bad because I gave him some real hard knocks. Okay, great sad thing Is I can't even start auditioning for a new role because I'm booked out with plumbing jobs until September Hey, hey, it's a nice work if you can get it, you know what I mean in this economy Yeah, not in it not in Italy. Oh, it's not there. Oh a lot of cheese there. So it's probably gross some hard plumbing stuff Is that it? Do they poop harder there Daniel say it confirm? Yes or no? Travis said a thing and now I need you to confirm it or deny it Daniel Is it thicker? I guess it are you standing at the crossroads right now Daniel?

Look at it the two ways this bit could go. I Just wanted to come here and clear up. Yeah any confusion. I Understand the last day. No, they Lewis didn't even have a Daniel Day Lewis hat. Yeah Yeah, I didn't didn't know what your Daniel Day Lewis was born and of course you know which is Certainly and and if Daniel Day Lewis had any kids Yeah, certainly you if it he didn't even know if you were British or not Daniel. Can you imagine? It's it's funny because I suspected Justin wasn't the last Imposter that came in here playing one of his fun bits

And I was shocked that he hadn't looked up the birthday and names of the children of Daniel Day Lewis But of course, you don't know you would know that off the top. Okay. This is how you know I'm the real Daniel Day Lewis. Yeah, I've I've forgotten Daniel Day Lewis. I know Mario Mario's birthday, which is He was jump man, wasn't he? That's not a man. Yeah, I How did I find out about the role? Okay? Thank you for asking. I was living by myself In a house in West without your kids or was that with or without the kid or kids you have? This is before the children before the that I may or may not have yeah I was and I was it was it. I was really in the doldrums looking for a new project and

This white package arrived luminous really and it was a letter from my lawyer saying that There had been a Daniel Day Lewis impersonator a week ago on on the program a week. Yeah last week. Hmm so here here I am to to Set all this right, okay, so no misunderstanding. I'm the real Daniel Day Lewis. Okay last week. That was fake We know man. It's clear. Yeah. Yeah I know that I'm the real Daniel. It seems like you came a long way to be wherever you are right now to do this And I want you to know it was totally unnecessary. We clocked that dude pretty pretty quickly actually what is this segment?

Oh, this is my squad. It's a segment that my brother Justin created and now seems to lack faith in Um What is it? What is it? How does he feel? What is he normally? Well, it seems that he's creating a kind of menagerie of characters This is I'm guessing what I'm asking about the content of the sketch Yeah, no, it's really kind of a highbrow Jeff Dunham situation It's what is he discussed normally on the other single because I'd love to try to participate if I could try to Crack at it as Mario months have fast casual food Innovations for the most part. We get a lot of work from Duncan doughnuts. Yeah, okay. I can I can just

What do you want to work for I could do I'm gonna pizza hut sort of Red Robin fud ruckers. Just whoever pays Justin to do the bid. I guess. Yeah, it's usually how would you decide? Um Have um, have you have you seen that? They're about this chicken chicken into a sort of nugget. Hi, Daniel, Daniel Have you heard Daniel? I have one other hold on. Yeah, my lawyers. Just should I Philip is this your lawyers there with you? My lawyer is came with me. He's across the table But I he has just handed me this I could try okay

I think they won

had a Latin Grammy They won the the Latin Grammy for best mozzarella Yes, one bite will take you away to Italy and make you buy it will make you grow taller One bite takes you away to Italy and make you say that's a more a Now this is a role. This is Dustin Helinski the director of culinary innovation at Jimmy John's We set out to develop a sandwich that was full of delicious Italian flavors But we also wanted to make it unique to Jimmy John's which starts with hand-sliced salami

Because we've always hand-sliced our meats as that makes all the difference Does that feel right to you? Does that feel true? No, I've worked there. I think what This man means what Dustin means is a person picks up the salami with their hand puts it onto a meat slicer And then moves the meat on the meat slicer with their hand But they are not and also let me just tell you This might be obvious, but whether you use a machine or a knife does not make that the salami taste any different What so ever but it says here it makes all the difference. It doesn't oh Okay, so yeah, this is wonderful for me because I've learned something new about this role this man's a liar

Yes, I can bring I can use that Most of the time they are in this segment. No, there's very little truth being spoken in the munch squad and then Layer the other ingredients a top all right, Connick.

I'm I'm a little I'm honestly a little suspicious No, I'm I just want to say

Mr. DeLewis, I totally believe you're the real Daniel DeLewis and there's no reason for you to come back next week Oh If it was a different hat That might get me there actually now that I'm thinking about it. Yeah Maybe maybe if it was a different hat and then like a picture of you wearing that hat a different time in the past To prove that it's really you. Yeah For next time you have two kids Daniel DeLewis just to remember for next time. Yeah Daniel Daniel and day Yeah, this has been what and what year was I born? This is something that I've been wondering about actually you don't have the internet

Yeah, you don't have that. Yeah, um first of all, you actually had three kids. That was a test That's hoisted by my own but yeah, I'm not you and also Daniel you should know for next time You had your batard removed when you were 12. Yeah, yeah, I actually can't there was a basketball accident Daniel when you're British because you're you're night. You're sir Daniel That's unnecessary. You're full name for some reason is Daniel Michael Blake DeLewis. DeLewis is hyphenated in case you're wondering It's going to be hard to go back honestly from Mario Mario Mario Mario very easy to remember because I don't know if you notice But it's the same same first and last name But that I have sir the real Daniel DeLewis who I am has so many names for me to remember

Yeah, 1957 Daniel Dang really? Yeah, I'm not quite as old as Clip McRoy, but I'm you're getting there just keep working on it I'll never well. I'll never catch you. He's always gonna be ahead of me. This has been so fun Can I say can I say that in my this is normally where when I'm on our show that people say So Daniel you'd be welcome back anytime. Oh, yeah, we'd love to yeah, man. I can't wait to scope the new hat That's I'm on Tenderhooks and also you've never won a Nickelodeon kids choice award in case you're curious You've won a lot of other painful. I don't know why you would bring that up right now Extremely painful

I'm going goodbye Daniel I'll miss him. I think that was just wow. Hey, what's up? What an honor you guys won't believe on The way out damn dude your forehead is wet You know what I mean hot in here. Yeah, is it on the way out on the way in yeah, I met Daniel Day Lewis again Yeah, I Thought I met him last week, but that's not the real deal. This is not the real Daniel This one was a hundred percent. Oh authentic. That's okay. That's the real thing. Let me ask you guys this If the last Daniel Day Lewis that was here was 75%

The one that came today yeah, I when I met him in the hallway, he seemed very legit He looked like looks so much super a lot like Daniel Daniel What What do you think how what would you what score would you give me 92 92%? Really yeah, Trav really that doesn't have a beard. He had a beard and so that and he also didn't look like him Is that only slightly? He's a sort of he's a very transformative Transformative actor. He was handsomer than I'm used to seeing yeah

I remember when I saw him in the previews for Lincoln a movie. I never saw and I was like that guy fuck It looks like Lincoln. It's actually kicks out. I don't see a lot of movies if it like just statistically speaking There the me I think it's extremely generous to give the first Daniel Day Lewis a 75% That's right somewhere. Yeah. No. Yeah, you're right much lower is where the place is the is the starting zone 33% 33% believable Daniel Day Lewis. I'll give I'll give the first one maybe 15% just based on the strength of the hat alone Yeah, right this time going from a captain's hat down to a sort of just sort of flat cap like a newsy cap I actually think that was a step down. I don't I actually think can I just say it was more believable as

Oliver Cromwell. Yes, then then it was this day. I would say 45% Cromwell 25% you know, it's funny. He left the hat and that was one of the things I wanted to ask you guys is like Do you think do you think I? Yeah, I mean could I in my day? No, no, no, no, don't just fucking answer like in my day-to-day How long do you want me to wait before I answer to make it? Tell me a little time. Tell me a little time to look like ten seconds of absolute silence Okay, just for my edification. Do you want ten seconds of me like hmm like really hamming up? That would be great That would be great

Oh Set a timer for this is great for audio. It should mean I should mention during your silence that my wife My wife said she liked it. Oh So can you turn profile? Oh, yeah The other way can you describe the hat real quick Trev in case? Yeah, we're looking at a yeah if you've ever flown on an airplane over Farmland and you see the patches of different farms side by side. That's kind of the pattern on top. It's got some Different plaid things and then what we're looking at here is like kind of a Newsy's cap kind of a

Like imagine a hat Oliver Cromwell would wear in babe. That's what we got here Okay Griffin, did you have a verdict yet? It's gonna be a no from me dog Griffin hey Justin Griffin is wrong. I think it really works now here's the thing you can sell it But it isn't is it the product you want to be selling? I can't sell it actually I bought it Yeah, it is thoroughly sweat-stained at this point. No one 15 seconds up here. It is already absolutely soaked. I think it works for a dad out with his kids doing his best Does not work if you just like it doesn't read is like sexual being no

No, it's exactly the opposite. I think in fact I think that me and Travis will not be affected by your decision either way and you should keep that in mind when one of us is sort Of vociferously championing The wearing of the because here's the thing if you wear the hat it will be fun for us Do you know what I mean? I like it and Whoa, who's this young sexual man, it's it's so yeah, this young sexual being in a Mickey Mouse popsicle button down I Let's end yeah, okay. Thanks for listening to our show.
