My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 725: Fevers Named After Colors

Episode Date: August 19, 2024

How are we going to get Fortnite Senpai to notice us so we can have a themed energy drink or whatever? We could try drinking water from a huge bottle while staring directly into their eyes. Or maybe making suggestive jokes about pie? If all else fails, we’ll just fake our deaths in a really convincing but also ha-ha fun prank kind of way. Suggested talking points: American Pie Presents American Pubes, The Rock Eats Cod, Mysting Persons, Yellow Clocks, Dunkinterns World Central Kitchen: https://wck.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? One, two, three, four! It's the start of something beautiful A small acquaintance has blossomed It's ripened into 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 two My life, ah, it's better with you.

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. What's up, Trav Nation? I'm your middle-est brother, Big Dog Wolf Wolf, Travis Wolf Wolf, McElroy. My lights are off. My ding-ding lights are off. How are the people gonna see what I'm bringing to the table? Vis-a-vis face stuff. I'm Griffin McElroy, the youngest of them.

You know, the back to school doldrums can affect everybody differently. Got me low. Got me low. But I have been looking for a pick-me-up to celebrate the fact that I have to wake up so early again. And Sid and I found a great one. I just wanted to recommend it to everybody.

It's called the Blue Ribbon Baking Championship. Now that's interesting. Why? That sounds a lot like the other one. So it is, it's ours. It's our American one. Well, that's funny. That's also funny because we tried that once.

Yeah, we've tried it many times actually, but this is our American one and it's celebrating fair food. It's bringing us to the fair. Okay, can I tell you, just before we get into it. I'd like to, okay. I know, but just as a huge fan of Great British Bake Off, right?

And like Teresa and I do a podcast about it, like I've seen every episode, right? And I, in general, I think British reality competition things have this like homey kind of down to earth. Tenderness. Tenderness to them that anytime America has tried to be like, and we're gonna do our version of it, they're like, and this time, if you fail,

we're gonna ruin your credit score, and if you win, you get a million dollars, and here's some explosions and big lights. They can't do this down homie thing, Justin. So blue ribbon. Okay, so blue ribbon, fair food. Fair food. You're gonna have such a hoot about one of the hosts.

It's Sandra Lee. Remember Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee? Don't. Do you remember? Don't. Is this whole bit only gonna be funny if I know who that is? No, she is a, with Sandra Lee. Don't. Do you remember? Don't. Is this whole bit only gonna be funny if I know who that is?

No, she is a, she is, had a show called Semi-Homemade, where she would like take a bunch of different, like products from the grocery store that you could just like buy, and then like, here's how you could like spice it up. Oh, make it a game like you put the work in? But then there's another host of the show.

It's not just Sandra Lee, you gotta have a celeb in there. Yeah. And so here's the other host of the show, I'm just sharing a still from the show. It's Sandra Lee and Jason Biggs. Jason Biggs. Now, can I talk about-

That's the third funny thing about this story. In this image, Justin, is that ribbon Photoshopped? No, that's the actual prize that you win is a gigantic blue ribbon the size of a gladiator's shield. Shield-sized ribbon. So it's interesting because I couldn't quite figure it out because when Sydney and I saw that Jason Biggs was hosting this program, we thought,

well, isn't that funny? Because if you'll remember, he was very notably in the American Pie movies. Oh, where he places genitals in the pastry. If you were to ask me to word associate Jason Biggs on the topic of baked goods, then I would go directly to fucking him. Now what I enjoy-

Well Griffin, sorry, making love. Now Mr. Biggs does a great job. He's great at this job. He is a natural fit, he's great at this job. He is a natural fit. He's convivial. He's like, whatever. But dang it, man, those Netflix folks keep making him wink at the camera about the pie he humped.

And it's just not very nice. Because I thought it was gonna be kind of an underlying thing, because the movies were like American Pie. But then he's like, that looks like, like in the intro secrets, he's like, that looks like some pretty good pie. Barrel the camera and I know.

I know what makes a good pie. And I know a good pie. Look, I'd watch every episode of this television show if they never addressed it. They never addressed it. And you're just waiting for the shoe to drop. And dropping little hints like Jason Biggs, episode one, tasting a pie is like, the texture of this one

is feels pleasing to the tongue, but like didn't reference it. And the whole time you're going- Does it reference it? Not just not reference it, but set up like, like somebody serves an apple pie and he's like, oh, you know what that reminds me of? Ice cream, right?

And it's just like, it keeps seeming like, they're gonna have to, they're gonna have to say it now. They must say it now. He's got to, it's like the entire Twin Peaks The Return. Like certainly it's about to, this is gonna be the beginning of it, right? But no, episode one, he's like, that looks like- Then another, how Sandra Lee reference it?

No, okay. Not yet. Avengers, Jedi, Reese, but I would love that. Sandra Lee's like, I'd fuck that pie. And they're like, what? Wait, hold on, hold on, Sandra. Right, and the other judges are like very prestigious. One of them was the pastry chef for the White House.

And so they had to all have a meeting where they're like, so how did you all get the gig? And Jason Biggs has to be like, well, fun story about me. Here's like ice spray, let's play two truths and a lie, okay? The other very good version of this is that no other hosts and maybe contestants know about the offending picture with Jason Biggs in it. So when he's like, this is like the movie

in which I had sex with a pie. They'd be like, what are you talking, like saving silver men? Was it a leaked video or something? Was it someone, no, no, no. That's disgusting Mr. Biggs. I Jason Biggs didn't, my character. A character I played. A enough, I, Jason Biggs, didn't. My character. Her. A character I played.

A character I played, co-starring Eugene Levy, huh? Everyone loves him now, right? We love Eugene. Yeah, we're back on Eugene Levy. I wish Eugene Levy was the host. No, Jason Biggs does a really good job. No, but if Eugene Levy was the host, then the tangential nature of the connection

to the American Pie movie would, I think, also make for some great situations of like, oh, good pie, huh? Just like in the movie you were in once and your son did it. Are you saying there's a reality in which the producers had absolutely no clue? This young man, we're huge on this one guy,

Jason Biggs, an unknown came into us and he just had a great energy, we're wild about him for our cherry pie show. Let's take it away. Do you think maybe they sold it to Jason Biggs where he's like, guys, I can't do this show about baking because of the thing. And they're like, no, no, no, Jason,

our plan is there's gonna be so many pies in this show that you don't fuck that it's gonna cancel out. It's gonna change your whole reputation. Yes. Because it will. Yeah, this would be like if I did a YouTube streaming explainer series on the history of bananas. And then people would sort of start,

I would change the narrative a little bit. There would be so many bananas Griffin could have bitten into. It's just that Mr. Biggs, what I wasn't ready for is, he's just such a fucking little stinker about it. He is fully owning the fact that like, yeah, we all did a lot of things, didn't we? Back in our 20s, mine was in a movie, right?

It's a character, not even my actions, again, I wanna specify. How method do you think he was? But like, yeah, he's a total stinker about it. Like every pie he walks past, he puts a finger in it, like not quite ready. It But like, yeah, he's not, he's a total stinker about it. Like every pie he walks past, he puts a finger in it, like not quite ready. It's like, no, Jason. I wouldn't finish in this.

This couldn't make me finish. Stick your finger in, fresh out of the oven. Ow, it's hot. Why is it like that? Are you trying to burn my penis and balls off? He has a very original judging method that brings a real energy to the competition. Let's just put it this way,

Sandra Lee has to be completely done. She has to be completely done. There must have been a production meeting with all the contestants where they sat down and they're like, has everyone here seen American Pie? And like, because it's gonna come, guys, it's gonna come up. Before you all come back to set tomorrow,

we need you all to go home and watch at least the first one, maybe multiple ones. In fact, I'm gonna Google, get on YouTube, find the offending, there's really just one scene where he fucks the pie. A lot of people don't talk about that. A lot of grosser stuff happens in those movies. He feeds his dad his own pubes.

That's grosser to me, but it's not called American pubes. It's not called American pubes. That's interesting. Well, not here, but in the French market. The fifth one is called American pie presents American pubes. American graffiti. American pie presents American graffiti. American pubes. American graffiti. American pie presents American graffiti.

American pubes presents American graffiti. No, but it's... What kind of fair food are we talking? Are we talking like fried s'mores? Like how nasty are they getting? When we were talking about like stuff on a... Like the very first challenge is stuff on a stick that shouldn't be on a stick.

Love that. love that. I want them to exclusively cook up things that Pru would not eat with her worst enemies. Yeah, this is what I'm saying. Just let them cook stuff they're good at. I don't, I just feel like, I know we're not taste makers, but it does feel like media is increasingly making choices that are geared towards,

you know what would fucking bust some Aquarius brothers up? What if we let Jason Biggs host a pie show? Like that would delight them personally. Like it just feels very targeted. Yeah. A little something for everybody. Can we just hang out with Jason Biggs? I don't know him.

What if Stifler's mom's the other host? She's having a huge renaissance right now. I'm kind of realizing right now, I don't know enough about American Pie, the movie, Griffin apparently knows. What do you wanna know? Huh, okay Griffin, tell me the, what's the culminating event of American Pie,

like what's the denouement of American Pie, the first one, what's the big plot twist at the end? Well, I think that Stifler's mom has a sort of erotic rendezvous with one of the guys, and then it's sort of used as a shift in the power dynamics in this largely male friend group. And it's all about sort of their struggles to navigate that. There's obviously a huge breach of trust when that one guy hooked up with Stifler's mom.

Now that is notable, it is notable, the American Pie franchise, American Pie first one is notable for both the introduction to the broader populace of Jennifer Coolidge, as Stifler's mom, and also the term MILF. Yeah, thank you so much. It's a landmark. Thank you so much. American Pie, it's a landmark.

Thank you to American Pie and to Justin for clarifying that for us and our audience. Thank you, yeah. I'm nothing if not a cultural critic. Yeah. An observer. Have you seen St. Elmo's Fire? It's a lot like St. Elmo's Fire.

At what point in St. Elmo's Fire do they eat pubes? Eugene Levy's in St. Elmo's Fire. He does eat pubes in that one too. Does he eat pubes in everything he's in? In one of the movies, a guy- I saw the contract. Yeah. Yeah, like how the Rock doesn't lose fights, you know?

Yeah, the Rock eats cod, Eugene Levy, ch-chops Mad Pooch. Sorry? Say it again, clear from the text-toes. I won't say it again. Say it clear for TikTok. I won't say it again. Say it clear from the Vine. I won't say it again. I won't say it again. Say it clear for TikTok. I won't say it again. I won't say it again.

Say it clear for the Vine. I won't say it again. That's fair. I don't blame you. This is an advice show, all right? And you're listening to us, which means you wanna know what we think. So you send us your questions

and we turn them out to be like into wisdom. That's the program. It's hot in Texas. So everywhere I go, I bring my big Nalgene water bottle. The only issue is whenever I drink from it, I'm never quite sure where to look. Do I? Man, damn it. I wish you had noticed when I just took a drink

during this question, which way my eyes were going, because there's no way I'm gonna be able to do it naturally. Do I look to the side and potentially make eye contact with someone? Do I close my eyes? That's from Sip Anxiety in San Antonio. Okay. If you close your eyes, you gotta drop a,

mm, going down wet. That's gonna moisten it good. Mm. This feels like a test, like that a high powered like business executive test they would do for like a job interview, like room for the interviewees, where you hand them the analogy and it's like, you close your eyes, you're prey.

You kept your eyes open, looking around, you're ready for the attack. I love that. You somehow looked multiple ways at the same time. You're a gecko, get in here. I thought when you said you're prey, you were saying that you are praying in the weirdest imaginable syntax.

You have the bottle to your lips, eyes closed, in prey. In prey. You are prey now. A lot of this depends on what is at the top of the water bottle eye, because look at this. If I've got a straw top and I'm giving you direct eye contact, it's a little, ooh, is it getting a little flirty? If I'm giving you direct eye contact, it's a little, ooh, is it getting a little flirty? If I'm giving you direct eye contact and I have a bottle top,

it's more of a, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, right? So there is a little bit of, I'm keeping my head back. Yeah, I genuinely- So I don't bash myself in the nose. I think I haul such a big Aqua unit around so that I don't have to worry about this. Can we see that? Can we see your unit, Griffin? I mean-

That's pretty good. Look at me. I like the, is that, are there motivational things on the side? Because I've seen that before. I've definitely talked about that on the show before. I know, I just wanted you to bring it up again. Yeah, I mean, my favorite is no excuses.

Which is like, I'm not thirsty anymore is a pretty good excuse for not drinking water. If you wait till you're thirsty, Griffin, you're already dehydrated. I, I had, I've never really contemplated it, but as I'm sitting here thinking about it, I realized that whenever I unscrew the top of my water bottle and start chugging, I'm on the trail.

For at least a second, I feel like that's kind of, I'm kind of cosplaying as like a water guy. You know what I mean? Just from drinking water? Well, it's like I unscrew the top, right? It's like a canteen and it feels like a canteen. And then I drink it, I'm like, and I know that I'm making a good choice

right then, right? Yeah, like a hiker does. You put your binoculars to your eyes, right? Yeah, like a hiking guy or a biking guy or whatever. And I feel like in that moment, I think I kind of pretend, now that I'm sitting here thinking about it, I've never thought about it, but I think I do, I don't look at anything,

cause I'm thinking about like the trail ahead. No. Usually. Yeah, I like to do, like I just grab it out of the hand of somebody standing next to me on a marathon path, and I just pour it, I open my mouth, pour it in as fast as I can, you know what I mean? I don't think that's true, I think that's a joke.

I put myself in a really vulnerable place. He made himself really vulnerable there, to pretend to be a hiking guy. I actually felt the vulnerability, and it made me uncomfortable in such a way that I had to make a joke out of it. Justin, I'm so sorry that I didn't. But it's hugely relatable.

I feel like when I walk into an REI, I see myself surrounded by opportunities to pretend like I'm an outdoors hike guy for like a little bit. A carabiner, I don't know what I would use that for, but just to have it would make me feel a little bit more like I'm living that Subaru life.

Anytime I see like foldable cutlery, you know, it's like, oh, and I'm like, I'm gonna use that. Well, gas stove, sure. You can, it's good to pretend in your day-to-day life as an adult, you only get little moments to play pretend, right, because you're very busy. So you gotta take him where you can get him. Like, when you, I remember when I used to get

the Xbox 360 power brick and unplug it, there's like this big chunk hanging down from it, looks like the ghost traps. And when I unplug the 360, I would pretend I'm a ghost buster for a second. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, that's exactly like when you drink water thinking you're a hiking man.

You're just pretending, it's like micro RPG I'm gonna just like for a second. I'm Cosplaying is like a hiking guy. I'm gonna make you do things in your day-to-day life, right? Like when I go to ride the bike the exercise bike I have other clothes that I change into because in that moment I'm a biking guy, You know what I mean? Like, if you try to talk to me during that, like, I don't know, I'm all about health and fitness

and I have different clothes that I wear. Every so often I do a little stretch in public. Like I'm like, oh, and it's like people looking at me might think, I bet he does that all the time to keep himself living and healthy. No, but no, I don't, I'm pretending. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like if you, sometimes you forget that, right?

Like you think like, I would like to do a squat right now and then you think no one does squats, but if people see me, maybe they think, like I'm a squat all the time. Yeah. They don't know I've never squatting before. He wouldn't have just started right now.

Yeah, and this can't be his first squat. Yeah, it's like when I go to the toilet and use the toilet, like in that moment, I'm not Griffin, I'm like, I'm being like the nasty man. You guys know him? Sorry? You think about the nasty, like when I'm on the toilet,

I can't think of myself doing the things that I do on the toilet. And so it's like in that moment, I'm pretending I'm, then I'm the nasty man. Like I'm pretending to be the nasty man. Who uses the toilet. Who uses the toilet?

He loves doing that, yeah. How's body training going with your son, by the way, Griffin? Pretty fucking great, man. Who uses the toilet. Who uses the toilet? He loves doing that, yeah. How's body training going with your son, by the way, Griffin? Pretty fucking great, man. Is anything, like, have we come to anything you approach, like, eye contact is out. Yeah. Right, unless it's a intentional technique to seduce.

I think if you're talking to, okay, I'm talking to you, Jessa. I'm talking to you, right, I'm talking to you. Show me what seduce will drink. No, you could, no, okay, here, I'm talking to you, Jessa. I'm talking to you, right? I'm talking to you. Show me what seduce while drink. No, you could, no, see, no, that sucks. I hated every second of that. I don't, okay, it can't be a big conversation. I want to make a rule about that, right? Like, because that made me feel not listened to and I wasn't even talking. Especially if it's like a squirt, but I know we're talking about analogy, but if you-

Oh shit, a squirt is good. Keep going. No, no, no, we're not doing that. I don't think I would think very highly of someone with a squirt water bottle. Even if it looked like they just got off the- I just realized that about myself. Oh really, you don't like Michael Jordan

in the Looney Tunes, Justin? How do you think they won Space Jam? It's a bias in myself, guys. I'm trying to fix it, okay? Let me have this vulnerability here that I think- Open yourself. Like, maybe if you do that. I'm just a bias in myself, guys, I'm trying to fix it, okay? Let me have this vulnerability here that I think, like, maybe if you do that. I can think of a few. Or a hamster.

I can think of a few, a hamster is different, the hamster thing doesn't squirt, that's all. I think we can all agree, that's the baseline. Well, you're either squirting or you're like suckling off it, either way. No, you can't or those, one is considerably worse than the other. If I see you go, hey Griffin, what's going on? Squirt, ah, I'll be like, that was weird.

If you're like, hey Griffin, what's going on? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now who's being the nasty man? Justin is looking in the middle distance. Okay, I clocked you just that time. You clocked me middle distance. Okay, I like that. You know what I was thinking about, the middle distance?

Yeah, please. You saw middle distance, I see the horizon. Yeah. You know what I was thinking about, the middle distance? Yeah, please. You saw middle distance, I see the horizon. Yeah. You know what I mean? Cool. The next cliff. It gives a vibe, middle distance does give a vibe of right now, it's just the water and me.

Right now, everything that's happening now I need this. is just me and the water. What I'm saying is maybe on your next drink of water, you'd be absolutely present for that. 100% chance of. And in that exact moment, and by present, I mean pretending to be a hiking guy at a cliff place.

You know what I mean? I just did it. Just eat a cliff bar. You're so healthy, what? You've been out there, you don't even have time for a whole meal. Oh, we all feel like a phony eating cliff bars, don't we? Every time I eat a cliff bar,

I keep waiting for somebody to snatch it out of my hand. No, have a Subway sandwich, you liar. Every time I eat a cliffif Bar, I keep waiting for somebody to snatch it out of my hand. No, have a Subway sandwich, you liar. Every time I eat a Clif Bar, I think, see you in like 128 hours, my man. Those things take a while to work through. Are you eating it whole, Griffin? You have to chew it. Yeah, thereby turning it into industrial mortar.

That is a feature, not a bug, Griffin. You don't wanna be looking for the loo when you're out on the trail, so they keep it in you for a while. Thank God that guy ate all those cliff bars before he got trapped in that rock with his arm. And he was like, well, I don't have to worry about going bathroom for a while.

He cut his arm off, he was bored. He wasn't hungry, he had cliff bars inside him. I don't know why we have such trouble getting them to sponsor one episode. It's not... Yeah. What if in that movie he did at one point have to be the nasty man,

but like while up sort of pinned between two rocks and that's when someone walked by and he was like, I can't, I'll wait for the next one. There's no way. I can't be pincered between two walls, like I'm on American Ninja Warrior, using the bathroom from eight feet up high and have someone see that.

Cause they'll tell people I know. Do you think there were ever product placement meetings for 127 hours? I guarantee you there was one for Gatorade, cause there's a scene where he's pinned in the rock and he's so thirsty and he closes his eyes and he thinks of this sweaty, glistening, orange jar of Gatorade in his front seat.

And seeing that in that moment, I really wanted to drink orange Gatorade. Hey, you wanted that sour milk. I wanted that sour potion that makes me so strong. I go crazy. Do you want a Wicky Howl? Please, yeah. Thank you so much to Wren who sent us this

missive from the wizard. It's everything you need to know about faking your death. Oh nice, now this is practical. Faking your own death can be a good practical joke in the right context. Can it? You don't wanna scare people or hurt someone who cares for you.

It is illegal to fake your own death to collect life insurance, but it is legal to simply fake your death in order to disappear. See, counseling, this isn't funny anymore, but let's just jump ahead and pretend like it's a practical trick. Okay, I do just wanna say, the disappear part,

I don't know if that's true. It's legal to fake my death to disappear? I don't think that is in any way accurate. I think that is actually a federal crime. Do you guys ever think about, occasionally when Teresa and I do an episode of Schminners about somebody from the 1800s or the 1700s or whatever, how easy it was to just like, you know what?

I think I've ruined everyone's opinion of myself here. I'm gonna move to like San Francisco now and my name is James. Bye everybody. I'm James now. You read about that a lot actually at that time period because things are so antiquated. You would hear about people like,

yes, my husband Robert faked his own death. And he'd be like, I was in St. Louis for five days, Beth. I told you. I told you I was going to have a child. I couldn't get ahold of you. Yeah, no shit, Beth. We don't have phones or whatever. It's 18 something.

Like there's no, what do you want from me? Yeah, man. I said I'd be high for four days and it took me five. Sorry, dude. Yeah, while you were gone, several of our children died from fevers named after color. So I hope you're really happy. Yeah, man.

We knew that was a chance when I left, Beth. Yeah, that's why I went to St. Louis to get the color medicine. Here it is, it's labeled cocaine for some reason. It says blue cocaine on here. I should help them. It's taste the rainbow, is that anything? I don't know.

So it's not inherently illegal to fake your death, but everything you do afterward will veer into illegal territory after you transfer tax money. Wait, so what do you do at, like, what do they say is fake your death out that is legal? Well, it's not, it's not- If you do it just for yourself. If you do it and then like 12 hours later, you pop up like, ah, gotcha, grandpa,

then it won't be a big deal, except to your grandpa, who's probably like, the family line is sundered. Like, he'll be pretty bummed out, I bet. But it's not like you're breaking any laws doing that. It's just, you're doing something that is, I think, questionable on an ethical, interpersonal level. So, there's a lot of hand wringing about how illegal this is. Let's get to it.

Yada yada yada. Yada yada yada. Don't. How to fake your death. We already did our disclaimer. We don't have to do theirs too. How to fake your death. Plan the event.

Decide how you wanna fake it. Map out the event on paper to better flush out your ideas for the prank. Plan to die in front of people you know can handle it. It is in quotes there. So that's, but that can be like, it Sherlock like, a big flaming part of a spaceship falls down and oh no, it crushed Griffin.

It didn't. I'm in the hatch underneath collecting insurance money. Would you wanna be the type of person that one of your friends or loved one thinks could handle them dying in front of you? Watching them fake their death in front of you? No. Yeah.

I don't know what role that person. Oh, Travis is hard as shit, man. He's not gonna get upset at all. He won't give a shit, man. Travis will get it. Travis is just gonna roll with the changes, baby. Yeah, he'll stick around in denial for long enough that I'll be able to pop back up

and have it not do any sort of serious psychological harm. Plus, he's gonna bust up about the prank side of it, I think it'll be worth it. Night is a good time because there won't be as much light on the scene. Okay. Okay. Cool, man.

What if I was gonna fake my death in the middle of an MLB baseball game? There you go. Then light is a feature of the experience. I want there to be no doubt as I David Copperfield myself under the pitcher's mound. Plant the seed, pick out one or a group of your friends to witness your faux death.

You wanna go to a baseball game this Saturday? Yeah, perfect. I have, it'll be one for the memory books. Bring a phone. Bring a phone. And a notepad. And a notary public. And don't blink or you might miss the clues.

Did I say clues? Bring a documentary crew. Don't worry about it, for the game. We've been hired to document the game. Do they talk about the method of dying, choose your method of dying? Yeah, so if you decide if you want to quote, die from an injury or disease,

if you're planning a disease induced quote death, tell them about your failing health. This is rough. This is the least funny way of doing this. Don't be like, hey, what's up? Yeah, oh, my shoulder hurts today. And then the next day be like, did you hear about Richard?

Like, don't do that. It's gotta be- Shoulder do that. It's gotta be- Shoulder got him. It's gotta be a big thing falls on you at an MLB baseball game. And I would argue that the more embarrassing the death, the more believable it is, right? Cause if you die in a really cool way,

they're like, how is it possible? Like, yeah, that seems- Did he even own a skateboard? What was he do- I don't understand. But if it was us, we would definitely pick a fake death that would be possible. Like, we are aware enough of people's knowledge of us

where I might try to do one to bust people up. You know what I mean? I might try to get one on the way out, just kind of like a last ribbing. But if it was like, yeah, he pooped too hard on the toilet and died. It will be one of those, yeah. I remember in the movie Big Fish,

there's the witch that shows people how they die and he showed that one kid that he gonna be like 50 and he's gonna be on the toilet and he'll die. And I watching Big Fish was like, that can happen? It all of a sudden leapt up to like, my number one chief concern on this earth of like, you can go to the, you can be the nasty man so bad, you can die from it?

Big Fish? God, it explains every, this is your Rosetta Soger. It really is. It's my rosebud. An act of sudden death. This is good. A slow roll fake death is way more work than it needs to be.

Just like week by week, like yeah, another decrease in my general quality of health. A sudden death. Even that I would say a lengthy like 10 minute monologue kind of deal is gonna require acting chops that most people don't have. I think you want to insta kill. So it goes pretty deep into set a time of meeting

and show up late for dramatic effect. Make sure your audience is in the location where you planned for them to be at. Wear the clothes and makeup from your quote, injury. So I guess this is like saying, you walk away from the baseball field to meet your friends in the parking lot and you're already pretty busted up and you're like,

one of those big lights fell on me and now it's time for me to die now, guys. No, Griffin. You not, don't show the injury happening, just, you can just kind of like turn a corner and be like, oh, they got me. You need to be wearing the same clothes and makeup as the cadaver that you've already sourced

to take your place in front of that bus. Yeah. Yeah. Do they include that? Do they include that in there, where to get the cadaver? They don't include, get a Patsy corpse anywhere in this one. But that's 101.

That's not, that's a wild journey for that bus driver though. Because that person goes from there like, I can't believe I hit a kid. Riffing in this case. And then he's like, Three strikes, I'm out. No, don't worry, Doug. It was just a dead guy.

No problemo, Doug. Doug, great news. You dead guy. No problemo, Doug. Doug, great news. It was somebody else's uncle. You didn't kill podcasting hero Griffin McElroy. You just hit another dead body that exploded into a million billion parts. I don't think we have an aim for that emotion.

If you arrange it so your friends are on this side of the bus and the bus drives between, what the bus driver sees is you dress the same as the dead body that you're holding. Chug the dead body in front of the bus. Yeah, the bus driver's in on it. Yeah, if I meet the bus driver that has gone through that situation, it's gonna be the one

that only times in my life where I'm gonna ask somebody, how are they feeling? I'm really gonna listen really hard. I wouldn't be fucking count Rugen, like don't spare work, like exactly, how are you feeling at this exact moment? Because this emotional set has never occurred in human history.

Now, I've never seen this in a wikiHow article before. Obituary publication. Step one, contemplate your decision. Some people will view this as going overboard. Before you go through, Oh, going overboard. Before you go through, before you go through with getting your own obituary published, rethink your reasons and desires for doing so. If this is for a practical joke,

it could be over the top and funny for that reason. If you're doing this for spite or legal reasons, do not go through with this. I've never seen a- Okay, can I say, for spite or legal reasons, is the only context in which I would approve. I would switch those, yeah. Like it's not, if you do it to be funny,

and you mess a lot of things up, that's not good. While planning this, contact any family members that may read the obituary and tell them the truth before they begin grieving. Are we doing this thing or are we not doing this thing? Come on. You know who can't do that? A dead person, which I'm actively pretending to be

Right. Because of parking tickets, for parking tickets reasons. Right ear obituary, that's cool because you can hide all the clues in there. Griffin McElroy, outside of baseball game, as he so often is, did not eat any hot dogs that day. Like put in shit that's like, there's no way this stuff is true.

There's no way this stuff is true. We have not until this moment entertained the idea of faking your death for an elaborate game to win your fortune, right? Which I think is a justifiable reason. You've grown too rich, too famous, you can't handle the pressure anymore, you're ready to pass that legacy onto somebody else,

and you're ready to retire into anonymity and just live on a beach or whatever, but you need to find the person who's gonna solve, you know, where the money is or whatever, and that's why we're faking our death, now I'm on board, now I can buy into this. Yeah. Yeah.

A couple really cool community Q&A excerpts on this one. Can I make a fake body and leave it for people to discover and flee the country? Yeah. Um, couple really cool community Q and A, uh, excerpts on this one. Um, can I make a fake body and leave it for people to discover and flee the country? Yeah. You can, but it's pretty unlikely you'd fool the investigators looking into your death with a fake body. Now, are we talking about Ferris Bueller pillows under the bed sheet level fake body? Because it sounds like when you say, make a fake body that will stand up to CSI scrutiny, what are you doing?

What are you doing over there? What does that mean to make a fake body? Yeah, you gotta contact a discredited dentist who needs the money because of gambling debts and have him redo a cadaverous teeth to match your dental records. That's, I guess, at that point, it's half homegrown at that point.

I love that. I'm Sander Lee. Welcome to Semi Homemade. How to make your own fake corpse. Have you picked up a little too much heat? Have you fucked one too many pies? Sure, we all have. Is it time to get off the grid?

This is my co-host, Danny Smalls. It's just Jason Biggs winking. It's still me. It works for me. It's not the media device. Do they include a step in there, Griffin, about an extended amount of time following this rank? You have to be super careful not to really die?

Or no, or people are gonna be like, no way, no, just come on out, come on out, for like maybe months afterwards. You guys have read a lot of mysteries. There has to be a mystery book about that, where the investigators looking into somebody who faked their death, but it turned out they really died after faking their death.

Oh yeah, it's- Only they were smart enough to figure it out. That'd be a killer if I just said the title of whatever book that was, and then- Yeah. You can just skip reading it. It sounds new, if it's new, let's do it. enough to figure it out. That'd be a killer if I just said the title of whatever book that was, and then you can just keep reading it. It sounds new, if it's new, let's do it, let's write it. Write it down. Yeah, it's EMT, EMTM.

One last quick community Q&A, is it possible to fake someone else's death? Well, huh. If they're willing to go along with it, sure, but it would be pretty difficult without their consent unless you were doing to kidnap them, which I do not recommend. That definitely leads to murder, right?

Like, yeah. Yeah, don't, hey, don't. Don't fake someone else's death. I mean, you could, but it wouldn't be good. You wouldn't be able to do a very good job of it. No, I'd rather have somebody on like, have a compatriot who's helping me fake my own death. Yeah, that's where people mess up.

Oh. I don't wanna leave any connections here. I'm gone, baby. Yeah. I didn't quit this life because it's so cool and I wanna keep checking it. You know what I mean? I'm good.

If I liked anybody in my life well enough to not fake my own death, I probably wouldn't fake my own death. But it would be a cold ass moment though, if you're like, my life well enough to not fake my own death, I probably wouldn't fake my own death. But at one point I am. It would be a cold ass moment though, if you're like, hey, thanks for helping me fake my own death. And they're like, sure man. It's like, now I'm about to reel your own death, right?

And then they have to murder them to keep them quiet. What? That was really good. Yeah, okay. That was silly, because they help you fake your death, and then you're like, congratulations. This is now the perfect fucking crime Yeah, yes, cuz a dead man can't murder

Yeah, cut it out this is too good too good Yeah, yeah, all right, let's go I was gonna say let's go the money zone about Griffin I knew Unless Travis is gonna bring us in yeah, I'll zone, but I don't think we were gonna be rich. Well, Griffin and I do. Unless Travis is gonna bring us in. Yeah, I'll bring you in. I need assistance. Thank you. Okay.

Thank you. Pretty starter level, like entry level pay. Pretty sure I put the first English on the ball of this whole mystery idea. Hey Griffin, you talk a lot for a PA, man. Okay. You're right. Yeah, I guess so.

I have big ambitions, but sometimes they get the best of me. Hey, if you want to keep in touch with friends and family all across this planet of ours, but they're maybe not the most tech savvy, that's not a problem with Aura Frames. It is rated the number one digital picture frame by Wirecutter. We use them at our house.

We have friends with Aura Frames and we use them to share pictures instantly from anywhere you're at. You can tap a couple of buttons on your phone and then the picture will appear on their frame. And if you got a relative that maybe isn't so good with technology, you can get all this set up on your end.

So all you have to do is push a few buttons on the app and the pictures will appear beautifully and digitally right there in their frame. Yeah, it's a really, really nice product. It's really easy to use. I've never had any problems with it. I, it's a really, really nice product. It's really easy to use. I've never had any problems with it. I think it's an absolute delight. And if you're looking for something to get somebody

or just looking to stay in better touch with somebody you care about, it's a great place to start. Right now. It'd be cool if I could upload a video of me pretending to be trapped inside the aura frame, like one of the guys in Myst. If I could do that to Nani's or somebody's,

one of my relatives, then it'll be like, Nani, get me out! Yeah, that would be actually really good. Yeah, how to fake your own trapped in a bookening. Yeah. Yeah. How to fake your own Myst-ing. So, my friends, right now, Oris haven't, excuse me?

That's what I would call that series of people getting Myst-ed, Myst-ing persons. Right now- Myst-ing persons really fucking good. Right now, Travis is already rich. We don't have to keep giving Travis more money for all his good ideas. No, Justin, the heat is on, my audience is hungry for the next one. You don't have your sand, Justin, the pressure is there.

I also, I don't think we could write a mystery series where the main sort of narrative hook is that people get sucked into books like in the video game Mist. I don't think you can do that where it's like, and then the princess called down her dragons. Like, you know, in Game of Thrones, she had a special word she said.

But real. But real. She had a special word that made the dragons shoot fire out of their mouths. Like Game of Thrones, but real? But real is another Travis mystery. The ET touched the child's heart like an ET. But real. but real.

But real. He flew like the superman's he had read about in the comic books, but this time it was real. It was real. I'm in the cyber grid. What's the cyber grid? Have you seen the Matrix, she said, sexily? It's like that, but even more real.

It's like that, but more real. This book kicks ass. It is like The Matrix. But better. He kissed Angela from the office, just like he had imagined it would be when he kissed Angela from the office, but this time he was really kissing Angela

from the office. It's real. I know this is a book, trust. I know that I'm a simple teenager ninja turtle and you's Angela from the office. I know this is a book, trust. I know that I'm a simple Teenage Ninja Turtle and you're Angela from the office, but this is real. It feels so real. It's like a story. It's a story, but it really happened. But it really happened to me.

It really happened, that's the difference. Right now, Aura is having their very first friends and family sale. We got an exclusive offer just for our listeners. For a limited time only. You can get $35 off their best selling frame by visiting our frames.com and using the promo code by brother at checkout. That's a U R a frames.com promo code.

My brother, this is the best offer of the season. So don't miss out terms and conditions apply. I forgot. I can imagine that somewhere at Aura HQ, the CEO is just pressed stop on a recorder. It's like, so Ashley, what did you think about that ad read? Well, I thought the beginning was very, me too. It was very good.

How about the call to action? It was just missed. And they really brought home the call to action at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see any problems with the ad read? Was there any parts that you don't know that we at Aura need to pay for necessarily? Are we paying for all the references

to kissing the character Angela from the office? Do you know, is it part of our contract? Because if so, we have notes about how that story would go. We don't think Angela, it may be the right choice. I don't know, there's just other characters we would like to see included next time. There's certain things in the office where she's closer to Dwight

and it simply wouldn't make sense. There's storylines that weren't fully fleshed out in the show that we'd love to see fleshed out. Let's not interrupt existing ships, but rather create our own. Right. Talking about existing ships, what about Rocket Money? Whoa. Oh, good job, Griff.

Rocket Money is an incredibly good app that makes just total sense to use if you subscribe to a lot of stuff. Everyone subscribes to a lot of stuff basically every day, maybe even without realizing it. Sometimes it's a kid's app about bathroom stuff. Sometimes it's a kid app about bathroom stuff. Sometimes it's a kids app about race cars that you have to pay $3 a week for for some reason.

It's mostly kids apps or redundancies in your streaming bundles. Rocket Money will catch all that shit for you and be like, hey, you are spending dead ass $90 a month that you do not need to be spending on subscriptions that you do not use and you do not need. That's not all they can do though either because they also are able to help you keep track of your spending, let you set a budget. They can also help lower your bills

so you can grow your savings. They have over five million users and Rocket Money has saved a total of five hundred million dollars in Canceled subscriptions saving members up to seven hundred forty dollars a year when using all the apps features I also say this and this isn't included in the tiger ports, but as a rocket money user I get notifications from them that are like hey you spent this much less last week And it's exactly what I as a person need to feel great about saving money. I need something that goes, hey, you're a good boy,

you did a good job. Yeah, it may as well say, so you can spend that much money on hero clicks this week. Yay! This is your hero click. Hey, you've saved a lot of money, maybe consider going deep into Magic the Gathering. Yeah, now's the time. You've saved up enough.

Stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions. And start wasting money on things you do use. On things you do use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash my brother. That's rocketmoney.com slash my brother. One last time, rocketmoney.com slash my brother.

My name is Jordan Crusola, and I love movies. But you know what I might love even more? Talking about movies. The directors, actors, and writers that join me every week on Feeling Scene love to talk about movies, too. Like our recent co-host, the writer and director Justin Simeon. And I love the premise of your show, feeling seen. I think that's kind of always my goal when I'm making something.

Nothing touches my heart more than when someone comes out of my movie and says, oh my God, I never thought I would see myself. So hang out with us and geek out about watching movies, making movies and the ways the movies we love speak to us directly. You might just start asking folks around you, hey, what movie character made you feel seen?

Hey, J-Man, for a second there was the Munch Squad theme band, was the lead singer taking a drink of water in at an unexpected time, and the guitar player had to do a fill. It's called Nois Rock. If you don't like it, you don't like it. I don't. Sometimes during a Coldplay show, Chris Martin will And like the guitar player had to do a fill. It's called noise rock.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. I don't. Sometimes during Coldplay show, Chris Martin will be like, pause, pause the show. Pause the music. Pause the music. Pause it. Clocks, clocks.

Hold on. Yellow. Yellow clocks. Viva la vida Jane Bond So anyway, you guys are really funny. Um, I had and I fucking acid balls juice Really? Oh, you know like I'm fucking you can't take a compliment bro Huff my shorts and eat the nards in a fucking hater Energy Puff my shorts and eat the nards in a fucking hater. Really good skill, dude. You know, like, competency work. Why you so insecure?

Full energy. Not everything has to be funny that we say and do on this show. God, you just reaped the whirlwind with the fucker. Sometimes we just like to bring more of a barstool vibe, you know, just like, not funny, just like talking, you know? Skewed view. Yeah, twisted. So anyway, I did wanna let everybody know? Skewed view. Yeah, twisted.

So anyway, I did wanna let everybody know. What was your funny shit, Justin? Sorry, we interrupted your funny shit. I'm ready to bust my sides and lose it. I don't have funny shit, I just wanna tell you guys that Duncan's got the spiked pumpkin spice latte now, so you can drink an iced spiked spiced latte from Duncan. Spiked with what? Alcohol. Spiked with. You can buy, go to the convenience store, an iced, spiked, spiced latte from Dunkin'.

Spiked with what? Alcohol. Spiked with. You can go to the convenience store, you can buy a can of Dunkin' Spiked Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte. No. That's cool, that's a lot of fun words that they've thrown in there. Yeah, it's called the Dunkin' Spiked

Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte. But that's not what I wanna talk about with Duncan. I wanna tell you guys about the Duncan turns. This is a press release that they just put up on the website for anybody to read. Okay, so let's say I'm interested in what's going on with Duncan. Here's what I would read.

Duncan enters the world of Fortnite with Sparked energy mini games. Wait, what was the Fortnite thing last week? It was like, somebody had a brand- Is Axby's had a brand activation inside Fortnite, I think? Okay. And here we are with call, it says here,

the first thing it says is calling all gamers. Oh, yes. So I got my listening ears on already. Duncan is officially entering the world of Fortnite. And I might I say again, as I said last week, not a moment too soon. Thank you, welcome. At the height of its power.

At the height. We've partnered with Duncan Turn and Twitch streamer CypherPK and Twitch Rivals to bring Spark to Energy by Duncan to your favorite gaming console. What's Duncan turns? Okay, that's a really good question, Trav, because they're telling you about these Duncan turns and they're not like contextualizing what that means, right?

You have to know the lore before you can read the press release. Oh, it's an ARG. No, it's a- This fella has, this fella has 3 million followers. Yeah. So the, so the, the Dunking's, we remember, remember them. It was Ben Affleck and all his buddies.

Of course. And now they got the- That was terrifying Boston gang. Yeah. Yeah. Now they got the Duncan- The most terrifying Boston gang. Yeah. Now they got the Dunkin' Terns. And that is Will Arnett,

cause that's the law, and content creator, corporate Natalie, pretending to be a corporate Dunkin' person. And then they bring in other people to pretend to like Duncan. And, but this, but one of the Duncan turns is like, they got Joey Fatone and AJ McLean from singing and there's other people, but one of them is CypherPK

who I guess is a game streamer. And they're just gonna be bringing all the Duncan stuff to Fortnite if you are interested in that. You sound pissed off about this. Well, no, I'm not, I'm really excited. It's, it was. You sound pissed off about this. Well, no, I'm not. I'm really excited. It's- It sounds pissed off. The Fortnite map has everything you'd expect from us.

And us here, I think refers to the drink, sparked energy drink, which is a sub brand within Dunkin, is I think who that pronoun us is referring to, a drink. Just as sparked energy gives you the fuel you need to power through the day in the real world, the mini games come equipped with sparked energy speed ups designed to help players move quicker through the map. Now that's false advertising, I feel like.

If I drink a sparked energy, which I wouldn't, but if I did drink the sparked energy, am I going to physically move faster considerably as a result of that, as if I had just drank boost juice or whatever it's called normally in vanilla Fortnite? Now, I'm looking here at CypherPK stuff. Yeah.

On the YouTubes, about 10 million subscribers, and on Twitch about seven million subscribers. So it's nice to finally have a benchmark for us to hit before Senpai notices us. Sure. You know what I mean? Because I wanna be on the Duncan payroll. If I'm being honest, I've been waiting to sell out for years. I love it.

I will say, my only problem with that is that all their food and drinks are garbage. But they would never accept their money in a million years. So that's one issue that's gonna keep us. One problem, yeah. First off, I've been so actively hostile to Dunkin'. It's the worst coffee I've ever had in my life, obviously. But I do like the way that when I'm somewhere

where Dunkin' is the only option, I can consume it and it will sustain me physically for a short period of time. If you can't get it down, even if it tastes so much like dishes, it's still the fact that you can. But there are money spins, Justin. Yeah, yeah. Guys, listen, because it gets better.

It gets even better, it says, you don't have to wait until this Thursday to play Sparked Energy mini games. Oh, hell yeah. Right now, there is nothing keeping you guys from doing this. Right now, you can head on over to the Duncan mobile app and use the promo code, interncypher,

to unlock a free medium Sparked Energy and early access to the Fortnite island code. Now, once you receive that, you simply search for the map by entering the code in Fortnite Discover, and then you can let the Sparked Energy mini games begin. Is that on the app? That's a lot of shit.

It's a lot of fucking shit to go pretend to drink, your fruit drink, like what are you, why? Why? Why would I do it? I so badly wanna go through the enormous amount of work just laid out in front of me to see how many people are playing the Fortnite Duncan map. Can we get in there tomorrow? Should we get in there tomorrow?

Maybe own some noobs. Do we own some noobs? Should we get in the sparked island and own some noobs? All these late to the party dunkheads, you know, and it's like like we've been in here for years and these are the people who have just been waiting for Dunkin' to show up. I've been talking about how all their food is garbage

for a long time now. Oh my god, there's such a big update. There's no fucking way Fortnite. Do you think it's all Dunkin' related? 78 gigabytes of pure Dunkin' pleasure. What? High res JPEG assets of Dunkin Duncan drinks that take up 78.1. It's half Duncan, half just Peter Griffin skin

takes a lot of data. It's a very detailed skin though. Oh man. I'm not doing this. Because it doesn't just reskin your character. There's detailed organs. They wanted to make it internally accurate, even though you'll never see it.

Yeah, doctors can use this Peter Griffin Fortnite skit to learn how the body works and stuff. It's down to a molecular level accurate. It's a molecularly accurate Peter Griffin. I started downloading this update for the Duncan Fortnite, and I watched the two of you guys turn into Max Hedrum, 12 pixels each in real time. It's incredible. I just dropped a quick pic for you guys turned into Max Headroom, 12 pixels each in real time. It's incredible.

I just dropped a quick pic for you guys. I just wanna get a quick yes or no on what you think about these Cinnabon Warhead flavors. What do you think? You think this would be good or what? No. No, I think it's suck huge shit, man. That looks so gross.

I do like the way that it reminds me of the pretend food from Hook. It does look like, yeah, bang right. But I wouldn't eat it. That I do like the way that it reminds me of the pretend food from Hook. It does look like, yeah, Bangrake. But I wouldn't. That I do like. I reference that, like, probably weekly. Oh, yeah. Anyway, that's a little, that's a mini for you. You can go get Warhead Cinnabon. Hey, folks, that's gonna do it for us.

Thank you so much for listening to our podcast. We hope you enjoy yourself. We'll see you out there in the Fortnite Dunked Energy Sparks Drink, Mega Mix, Blue Isle, Fortnite Skins, Sparked, So we hope you enjoy yourself. We'll see you out there in the Fortnite Dunked Energy Sparks drink, Mega Mix, Blue Isle, Fortnite skins, Sparked Pumpkin Spice, Iced Island. Justin's a broken man. Yeah, I think Justin just like, I don't know.

I just don't know why they can't have one that's like, we have a new burger, it has things on it you like. Yeah, just one normal one. You guys like fries? We did it. Do you guys remember when Burger King was like, our fries suck shit?

Did that happen during the course of this show? It had to be before. When Burger King was like, straight up, our fries suck shit, they're gross. Wendy's, it's Wendy's. Wendy's said, our fries are at, nobody likes our fucking fries. I don't think they kept it there though,

cause I ate at Wendy's recently and it was not up to snuff. They don't, they can't do it to them. Well no, no, they don't keep it up. Like, that's every fast food product in America. There's no quality, there's no, there's no consistency. Should we just cut our- Yeah, capitalism sucks.

Well, it was great for a while, when Burger King and Wendy's were like crushing it day in, day out. Right, right. During the Popeyes chicken sandwich era, when there was a good sandwich. Capitalism was doing like really good, and it was like, was era, when there was a good sandwich. Capitalism was doing really good, and that was probably the best way of doing it.

Like middle stage capitalism. Yeah, I don't understand the stages, but I did like the sandwich. Thank you for listening to our podcast. We wanna tell you some exciting merch stuff. We've gone over to the merch store, we've got a Munch Squad sticker designed by Tyler Reed and it's real fun.
