My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 169: Mr. Sweats

Episode Date: September 23, 2013

Gather round, young ones, as we regale you with our prophesies of the coming equinox. Open wide your gullets, younglings. Yummy down on this Pumpkin Spiced Latte. Sate yourself on this Fruit Brute. Suggested talking points: Lost Boy Milk, Parlor Games, Pet Daters, No Scrubs, Sword Myths, Unmoistable, Totally Sweet Hospice Cats, Bob Thompson, Unpaid Overtime Ballers

The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Welcome, my brother and my brother, me to the advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-list brother, Travis McElroy. I'm your baby-ist, pre-team brother, Griffin McElroy. Griffin McElroy, fresh in the land of the rising sun, back with us here in America.

Why did he come back, you ask? Well, this is an exciting time of year, not only am I currently enjoying my first salted caramel mocha of the year. Sorry, Pumpkin Spice Latte, you've been usurped in my heart. You know what, I like drinking them both at the same time. Yeah, and then getting just the harshiest squirts. You just drink a gallon of sugar milk. Is that good for you, intestinally? It's not bad for me. But the bigger news this year, and boy, guys, I cannot tell you how exciting this all is. Monster cereals are back. Of course, monster cereals are a sort of a Halloween-time staple. As uncomfortable as I am with Christmas creep, I'm really into Halloween creep,

because if you think about it, if Halloween creep continued at Infinitum, eventually life itself would just be a nightmare horrorscape that was obsessed with death and morbidity and terror. Sure, it'll be a full-blown nightmare before Christmas for everything is all about those spooks. But you know what, I think this is a logical result of the Christmas creep, right? Because Christmas is stretching into the middle of October now, so it's obviously like, by the time you get to Halloween, you are so into Christmas that you don't think about all the spooky pumpkins and stuff, so Halloween as a natural result has to stretch back into late July. I shit you not. I was just at Hobby Lobby last weekend, and they already have their Christmas

stuff up, but in a seeming like fighting back kind of like moment, there's a Christmas tree decorated with fall and Halloween decorations. That would be, that's just a Halloween tree. I think that's just a tree. I don't think it could be a Christmas tree without some picture of Jesus or Santa or something or Katie. Yeah, because that's how you deck, when they say deck, the hauls they mean with pictures of Jesus and Santa. Every conclusion is that Halloween and Christmas spread to the point where we do reach a single day that's like spooky baby Jesus in a skull max. Or it's more like holiday equinox, where there's an equal amount of Halloween and Christmas in the same day.

That's what 12 hours of Halloween and 12 hours of Christmas. But this is not the most important thing. This is not why I want to bring this up. Monster cereals are back. That's thrilling. What are you talking about? Choco zombie? Frank and Barry, Boo, Barry, Count Jocula. We're all fruit broot? No fruit broot? No, but Travis, here's the thing, fruit broots have been discontinued obviously since the 70s. This year, first time ever, fruit broot and yummy mummy fucking back on the scene. Couldn't be done? They done did it. I've never even tasted fruit broot. I'm so fucking excited. Fruit broot, of course, is all about cherry frosted cereal with spooky fun marshmallows into it. Yummy mummy,

which is actually labeled the return of yummy mummy on the packaging. Starring Brendan Frazier. Starring Brendan Frazier, artificial orange cream flavored frosted cereal with spooky fun marshmallows all shaped like Brendan Frazier, I would assume. That sounds disgusting, but simultaneously I'm going to eat it. They are both back. If you go to Target, you can get retro packaging in these jams. I don't really care for what they have currently. It's kind of neo-futurist, I don't know. It's very like monster movie. Very impressionist, very acupist, I think you could say. I don't really care. What's that one with all the dots? A dotty? It looks like a dotty. Now, did they bring back? Did they bring back? Because they are trying to

modernize it. I think I saw this in a commercial. The target is selling Torture Killer Crunch. Torture Killer Crunch is out. Torture Killer Crunch, it's sort of the more realistic take on more modern, high tension. They made the high tension breakfast cereal, and the kids, let me tell you, the kids loved that. The kids couldn't get enough of it. They don't this year have that one. They do have Unabomber Berry, which was one of my favorites in the 90s with real beard flex, which was great for me as a kid growing up because those are full of niacin, which you have to have. Tell me, does it come with Lost Boy Milk? I don't think Lost Boy Milk is available anymore. This is not based on the film. This is Boy Milk

that has been somebody misplaced it, and somebody found it and then sold it in a grocery store. It's very pricey, but well worth it for the calcium alone. Boys got lots of calcium up in them. We get so many bad things in our mail, PO Box 54, Hines West Virginia 25706. We get so many bad things, but no one will just send us monster cereals. That's it. That's all you have to do to get into our heart. Don't send us your weird, clipped up psychopath letters. Just send some fruit breads. People aren't still sending those, are they? No, not anymore. Of course, I haven't checked in a little while. If you're going to send us food stuffs, by the way, give me a heads up because I don't go by there often. Boy milk

only keeps for like, I don't know, a week and a half. Yeah, 15 minutes. Once it leaves, once it's been extracted from the boy, it's already, it's like that midnight orchid, you know, where I just blooms for like 15 minutes. Once it leaves their new bile lactose sex. Sure, I've now by the midnight orchid you're referencing. That is the one from Dennis de Menes, right? Yes. That is the vile cultural reference I was making. I just assumed everyone would get it without the footnote. Sure. No, no. Yeah, I mean, I did. So that's a pretty good sample size, I guess. Listen, we've, I'm really hungry now, and I really want to find these cereals. I literally drove to Target looking for them. Not there yet. Where's your fruit breads? Sir, sir, please calm down.

I'm going to drive this way to the park. Excuse me, I am gasping for lost boy milk. You got me, mommy? You got me, mommy? No, why? Excuse me. Excuse me, sir. So let's, let's get to the helping people because I feel like we've stalled long enough. Well, you've just been stung because we know we're not good at it. Not good at what? Helping people with their problems. We helped. If so, you had a problem of what cereal to go look for today and not find. If you had a problem with not enough diabetes. If you had a problem with your milk not tasting enough like lost boys. I'm a lady who's extremely skilled at ping pong. My problem is that sometimes I feel

like a jerk when I'm playing with someone that is not so good at the game. How can I sustain my winning record while at the same time maintaining my opponent's dignity? That's from TT in VT. This is a, I, I can sympathize with this. I have this exact problem with every sport backwards, but backwards dip, a polar opposite. But I understand what you're saying. Ping pong is tricky. I feel, I, this question is coming from a very, I feel like this happens to a lot of people because either you're very good at ping pong or you're very bad at ping pong. There's nobody who's just like right there in the middle. There are echelons of how good you are once you're really good. Like I'm pretty good at ping pong. And then there are

people that can just destroy me, but like 80% of people, it's just shut out. It's a joke. Yeah. That's me. That's, that's my, that's kind of my area of ping pong is like in that 80% of like, what's that? What do I, hold on. I wasn't ready. Yeah. And like, I feel bad for you that like just put in the work, I guess, just put in the work to like get better at it. To be fair, there's other areas of my life in which I feel very successful and happy. So you beating me at ping pong doesn't really like take anything away from the rest of that. Got to bring me down about this one. No, I'm just saying like, I understand that our question asker is concerned here, but I'm betting that some other part of their life has

grown to compensate for their lack of ping pong skills. I actually think that in a weird sense there is an element of classism attached with like, attached to being good at like certain table games like ping pong or billiards. Like you're good at this because your daddy was rich and bought you a billiard. Exactly. I feel like that's the implicate. I feel like that's the sort of, especially at a younger age, it's like, you know, there was a really clear divide when I was growing up and someone wouldn't have a pool table of like the kids who were like, it's in the way that you are. And me, I'm like wildly spinning the pool key like Donatello and then falling on the table. Like, is this good? Did I pull? Am I doing it? Rack them. Let me rack them. I'm good

at that. We're still more like halfway through a game. I'm just going to rack them up. We're playing, we're like playing the game right now. Like the balls have to stay where they are. I'll just be designated Racker. I'll collect them as they go in the hole. So I'll just be super ready to rack them. How many Mulligans do I get? What's house rules on the Mulligans? And I just comment after they're broken like, Oh, that was a good rack. I guess I really racked them good that time. I guess I'm the best Racker. Can I still next Saturday night? Are we like, is there a, is there a lean on this table feels like it's like a slight angle, just a slight angle. It's thrown off all my hits, all my shots hits. Oh, I'm just used to playing on real grass. So

What was the last time you got this table re-turfed? Oh, I'm used to playing on tournament ready tables. There's such a huge difference though between ping pong and pool, because if you're playing against someone who's just really awesome at pool, you are maybe going to have to like suck at hitting the ball like twice. You know what I mean? Cause they're just going to like run the table and just like, you know, they're going to win without you probably getting a shot. Is there any moment in, in, uh, in games that you guys can think of that is worse than when you have to break? It's like the most hype. I'm the shittiest at it. Like I play pool, I don't know, maybe once a month or so. There's a lot of really cool pool places here in Austin, but like, I'm

the worst at breaking ever. And it's fucking humiliating when you hit it and like two balls on the back roll like a quarter inch and nothing else moves. And it's like, uh, we have to play this whole fucking game with all these balls right there. I would have played it to, uh, when you're playing beach volleyball with friends and it rotates to your turn to serve. I used that moment of like, uh, well, what, does someone else want to take this? No, no, no, no. You designated hitter. Listen, man, you, you break, you've earned it. You listen, listen, I just, I think it'll be, um, I think we'll have more fun. If you break, please just pray, please. I feel it's the same. I wish that in ping pong, like if you are very clearly like the,

the outmatched opponent, that you have the option to just stand aside while they just like bounced, you know, why they just scored points on you without having to do the weird like, you know, that like jump to the left, jump to the right, like time warp of failure. Darts is really bad too. You get two people playing cricket. You get two people playing cricket on darts, like who are shitty at darts. That's your whole day. Like one of us is going to hit a bullseye eventually. I know it. I can feel it in my bones up. That one went in the ceiling fan. My favorite, cause I usually try to be this guy when playing darts is like, you know, six shitty rounds in a row and then like one accidental bullseye and tried to play it off.

Like, oh, that's what I was aiming for. I mean, all those other times I was just, it's all about triangulation. I was honing. I mean, you just got focused and then go about two inches above it and aim for that. And then you hit it every time. I'm going to start in on my six beer now. It's all about expanding it in your mind's eye sort of like in three inches. You got to lead it. I think the problem with, with ping pong, especially it's like there's no, you really have no control over whether or not that person's going to return your hit. You could slow play it as much as you want, but I mean, you can competently get it over the table and there's just no way to, there's no way to make sure they return that to you.

You know what my dream would be too? My dream game of ping pong would be an evenly matched player and also both of us have infinite buckets of ping pong balls because that's what's so fucking fresh. One person's really good. One person's really bad. The bad person serves to the good person. The good person puts the stankiest chatter on that ball and sends it into the goddamn like stratosphere, sends it over the county line. The other person's like, all right, I'll go get it. And then chases it down. They're back 30 minutes later. They'd fucking map quest directions to the ball and then repeat, repeat ad nauseum. Like the other person's getting a fucking workout. There's only one solution. Next time you win at ping pong, after the last hit,

you win. It's clear you're going to win. Maybe you're, you're about to win and you're about to finish them off. You got to take the ping pong ball and jam it down your throat. So you're choking on it. And then they rush over and it's like Heimlich save your life. Then it's like, well, I mean, I, I might want a ping pong, but that hardly seems in any way relevant to this anymore. You're the real hero of the day. I think. Justin, I got to say that maneuver seems high risk, low reward. Okay. Let me throw this out. What about this scenario? Last point of the game, you're clearly going to win. You start complaining about your paddle and you convince them to

switch paddles with you, right? For the last point. And then you score the last point and you beat them. But then you have an associate, you have a plant, right? Who says, well, hold on one second. Let me check something. And they pull out a book that's labeled the rules of ping pong. And they discover an archaic rule that says that the winning paddle is the winner, not the person holding the paddle. Are you doing some elder wand, fucking Harry Potter, like chain of ownership? I'm just saying, so then you award the person. So then you and your, your compatriot know that you've won the game, but the person feels some sense of triumph. By disarming the winning player, the paddle recognizes you as its natural owner,

meaning you scored 20 points with it. See, you crack open the ping pong ball and inside is written your opponent's name. And a phoenix feather. Seeing as Travis has constructed the situation where I'm going to have to have a book published, I think this is low risk, high shitty. Like just really don't want to do any of that. Or you could just embarrass your, your friend by beating him really badly and then they'll never play again. Yeah. Yeah. But then that you're taking someone shitty sort of out of the pool. And if we continue like, if we continue this filtering process, then eventually only good people will remain. It's probably more important to TT to have people to play ping pong with.

They do it for the love of the game. They don't care so much about winning and losing, but if they beat everybody to the point where it's, you know, it's annoying to play them, then they're not going to have any ping pong buddies. You want a yahoo? Yeah, please. Let me pick the best one. Do you want me to pick the best one? No, you don't know what they are. This yahoo is sent in by Julie Kin. Thank you, Julie. It's by yahoo and she's a Rosa who asks, If you could turn your pet into a human, would you date them? Um, man, like, first of all, like, okay, well, we are all obviously all three of us are going to be talking in the hypothetical here because we're all pretty much happily married.

I say pretty much. Don't try to, don't try to, all right, you got to, you got a few more steps to go, both of you, Pat Wands, before you can get into my game. I think it would be kind of weird to date somebody named Pringles. That's the, that's one thing. That's, I think, I think it would also be weird to date someone who's anus I've expressed. You've expressed, you've expressed one of your pets, ain't I? But I will let you guess which one. I don't think that game sounds like a good game. It's the worst game ever. What? Okay, let me say, okay, let me jump back and say who's anus I've had expressed. Okay, all right. I've not done it manually. Okay, that's what, that's a very important verb that you just added in there, Travis. You can understand, you can understand why I was so

upset by it. What do you mean by expressing an anus? Like, you look at the anus and you go like, he looks, he looks pretty excited today. What cat, dog, bird, what kind of human, what kind of animal would make the best human to date? Lizard. I'm sorry, what? Lizard. I would fucking, are you kidding me? Chill ass motherfucker. Just like chilling, waiting to eat some, waiting to eat some bugs. Just like chilling. Cat wouldn't do it. I feel like a cat would be too like, the worst would be a cat. A lizard would just be sitting on a rock in the sunshine 24 seven, telling you to relax. Oh my god, I think Matthew McConaughey is a lizard man. I think Matthew McConaughey is a man made from lizard. Think about it. Think about it for a second. Vaguely

reptilian features, especially when his hair is like swoop back, a la ghost girlfriend. Dennis Hopper and Super Mario Brothers, maybe? Yeah. That's a little on the nose because he was playing King Cooper. Yeah, a little bit. And he wasn't Matthew McConaughey in the moment. Stick with me. It was a good shot other than that. Do you have any other celebrities you want to say it looks like? Matthew McConaughey in a fictionalized metaphor in which he is a lizard man? And you can't say never messing. That's too obvious. Oh god. Oh, that guy. Who's that guy? Who is that one guy, Rob Schneider? Yeah. Rob Schneider was probably a frog. Like probably a frog made him a pet frog turned man.

Really? Because he strikes me more as like a guinea pig turns man. DJ Qualls strikes me as like a frog turned man. DJ Qualls could be in, yeah, he's like frog prince material. Boo shimmy. Boo shimmy is definitely like a frog turned man. Oh, the raccoon. Yeah. No, the shimmy is raccoon. Yeah. Raccoon turned man. It's because you let Steve Boo shimmy in your flower bed forget about it. But no one has a pet raccoon, so that's why Steve Boo shimmy is feral. Technically speaking. Somebody probably has a pet raccoon. I shouldn't say that. It would be like dating your kid, right? I mean, I get it. Like you're close to them. You're close to these animals. I mean, first of all, this is obviously somebody who wants to

boogie down on their pet. We can all agree about that, right? The person who asked this question is somebody who is ready to take their pet to the next level to the fucking end of the road. You know what I mean? Yeah, I do. This question makes me so sad. Don't be sad. Be happy and let's try and fix it. Maybe go out there and meet some human beings. No, come on. Why would you do that when you can magically turn your pets into animals? You've got me there. Your pets are already animals. Your pets, humans are animals. Whoa. Whoa, that's a good point. Whoa. Got a little metaphorical. I guess we're all, I guess we're all beast seal. You know what I mean? I guess we're all somebody's pets. Maybe we're the aliens.

Think about it. I mean, you guys think about like cats and dogs. Really, who's the master, right? And who's the pet? Because all they, all they do is like play around and get fed. And we're all right, you guys. Yeah, I'm Armaduke. The great conspiracy, the fallacy with this question is the idea that animals, if given the opportunity, would ever willingly be turned to humans. My cat has a lifestyle where it is sheltered. It is, it is, it is fed. It is watered. Some would say to grotesque excess. Some would say that. Judgmental people who can't see past fur. Oh, is that it? Is it, is it 56 pounds of fur? Is that what it is? She's got heavy fur. It's not heavy furred. She's just big furred. She's just big furred. Can you imagine the horror of becoming

a, a fleshy mess of appendages that have to wear clothes? Like that would be horrifying. My dog gets applauded simply for sitting down. Oh, can you imagine that life where you're just like, I sat down and everyone's like, yes, here's the treat. You did it. You did it. You sat down again, Travis. That sounds awesome. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds awesome. I know. But once you turn human, you give all that up. You have to start worrying about bills and genocide and your mother-in-law in Syria. Yeah, but also you don't die when you turn 16. Like it's, there's some pretty sweet trade-off to turn 16. No, that's, no, but that's the twist. You are, you do absolutely die when you're 16. You still like age like Jack. Pets turn human have Jack disease. Yes, thank you,

Travis. Correct. Welcome. Uh, and they, they- Progen, progenitals? No, not like, no, like literally, yeah, they got- No, I'm saying that, I think the disease is called progenitals. I think it's called Propecia. Uh, I have another question. One of my best friends doesn't have his own car. As a result, I usually end up picking him up every day so we can go hang out. I'm getting tired of having to drive him around everywhere. It's inconvenient and he doesn't give me gas money, but anytime I ask him to be saving up to buy his own car, he gets mad. It says it's none of my business how he spends his money. Oh my God. I want to just stop giving him rides places, but that would mean I couldn't hang out with him anymore since he doesn't have his own transportation. What should I do?

That's from the friend with a car in Indianapolis. There's a deeper question here though that I just realized, which is, what is your friend dealing with his money that he's so secretive about? Hey, are you saying, Dora, no! It's the only business you can find yourself driving your friend to a place where he can buy hard drugs. I didn't know that that was an option when like, Griffin, you owe $3,500 in taxes. It's none of your business how I spend my money government. Like, you super owe us this money. It is kind of my biz. Yeah, because I'm driving you every day to subway so you can hone your art. Is he like calling you to like, have you pick him up from his place and drop you off at a different, and drop him off at a different place? And that's

the hang while you're in the car is the sweet hang that you're getting? Hey, I really need to go to Jimmy John's. You want to hang out for eight minutes? Yep. Definitely. You're such a good friend. Why are you hanging out with such a fucking scrub? You are hanging out with the dictionary definition of a scrub as laid out by TLC. Yeah, I bet I bet if he did have a shorty he would not show him or her love. He's hanging out. Does he often hang out the passenger side of your ride? Of your ride. And he's trying to holler at girls, but he's hollering like, hey, can I borrow like a buck 50? Don't ask me what I'm going to spend it on. Because it's none of your fucking business. I'm a block away now. I got to come over the shorter spiel or you have to start driving slow.

Could you run faster beside the car? Just till the pitch is done. Just till the pitch is done. I mean, it might be just your friend needs to get a fucking car. Or learn how the public transit system works. Yeah. There are people in this world that exist without cars and they ride bikes, so they take the bus or, you know, whatever they walk, god forbid, but like, I'm not one of them because I'm an American. But I mean, your friend will find other ways to get around. He won't like die on his floor of starvation because you didn't drive him to the Paley Wigglies. Or he might. He might. And that's just nature's way. That's nature's way of telling you you need to have a better friend. I think you need to break this cycle. Tell your friend that

if it's, if you really want to get a hang going, you have to meet in a place that's equidistant from your homes and you're not going to pick him up. Triangulate it. And then you do that. And it's Waffle House is the only, there's a J crew. I guess we'll just hang out at J crew. But only in this one corner because if we head over towards the sweaters, then it's closer to my house and it's not really fair to anybody. Exactly 2.75 miles between both of us is a curves. I'll meet you at curves at 11. We're going to get fit. We're going to get fit, I guess. And then probably get kicked out. Probably get kicked out because I do not think that I don't think we'll mesh very well. I don't think that we'll slot into that particular

organization very well. Even if your friend doesn't want to tell you if he's saving up to buy a car, I think it's completely fair too to be like, Hey, how about you toss some gas money my way, since I'm your only means of conveyance. Maybe he's saving up to buy you a sweet present. Do you ever think about that, rude? I bought you a new car. I bought you a new car. Now you have two. I don't want either of them. Can you pick me up? Can you pick me up for curves? I know we said we meet in the middle, but it's 2.75 miles. I'm trying to lose weight there, not on the way, you know what I mean? If I lose too much weight, I won't have curves. And then they definitely won't let me in. Think about it. Think about that. There's a bell curve for curves. You're supposed

to stick it right in the middle. If you land too far on either side, they're like, sorry, too curvy or not curvy enough. Get the fuck out. I want to open a gym called bell curves in which there are two members that are just stunningly attractive and two members that are like grossly like scary obese. And then you feel more comfortable being in the middle when you're there. No, because you know the grotesque fat people will never show up. They might come for a week. No good news. They can't leave. We built it around them. Yeah, they have a thing like this called jail. Listen, guys, do we have another question on the Yahoo? What do we want to do? God, I felt that worlds are oyster. I have a Yahoo that was sent in by Chuckie V. Thanks, Chuckies. By Yahoo

answers user Neil, who asks, sword making resources. I am looking into making a pair of swords for me and my friend. As a heads up, these are not wall hanger swords. They will be used for the purpose they are intended, swinging them at each other. I know the basics of what I am doing, but have run into a few problems. One, I do not have a forge. This means I cannot personally personally heat treat it. Is he treating necessary? I know it helps make the sword harder and less brittle, but would a sword still function safely without it? If not, where could I send this steel off to be heat treated? Two, basic question. What kind of steel is good? I've heard a one steel tool steel is one of the best, but it is very expensive. What are some other high carbon

that make good swords? Three, edge beveling. Like I said, I don't have a forge. This means I cannot heat the sword and bevel the edges with a hammer. There's a forge shop near me, but I am not as confident with my hammering as I would want to be for beveling. Would a belt sander be able to do it? Thank you so much for your help. Okay. I know the basics of sword, but man, do I not have anything for it? Can I use that oven? You're going to want to use crucible steel. What is that? Step one, crucible steel. It's where you heat the steel in a crucible and it makes it so hot that all the extra particulate stuff. I just watched Legend of the Viking sword, you guys, so I'm a bit of an expert on this. You take that molten steel and you throw it on someone you think is a witch.

Well, you got to pour it out in kind of a sword shape. Okay. But how are they going to superheat this fucking, they put it in a kettle and then put it on like a... Unlike your mom's oven, just put it on the cleaning cycle. Toss that steel in the crock pot. That's the thing is you got to compensate for not being able to get the heat with time. So you throw it in the crock pot for like 18 days at like 350. Listen, I had a metal molder when I was a kid and I used to make little wizards with some of those fake gems in it. That's basically the same as the sword you're going to swing at your friend. Yeah, them shits with sword fight ready, Trav, that pewter, those little... Well, yeah. I mean, you had to be very dainty with it and you make sure you cast,

you don't want to like swing through. Yeah. But with your tiny wizards. Wizards are done. If you use stainless steel, then you don't need to like use high carbon steel. You need to heat it and, you know, heat treat it. You can just stick with stainless steel. Wouldn't essentially like a polycarbonate nonstick steel, wouldn't that just like cut, like clean through your friend's neck and like completely decapitate them and then like just like slide through like butter because it's not like sticking to anything? It's like frictionless. Does that make sense? Yeah, wouldn't it just murder your friend where one of you two say not be good at sword fighting? I think the important thing here is to start with

a wooden sword. Or just like a wooden stick. Make a wooden stick first and say, this is the sword that I made. And then if you can say that with a straight face, you're ready for the world of sword because here's the thing. Fighting with two sticks, you pick up off the ground, will accomplish the same thing with less negative results. Well, it makes sweet clanging noises though, like when they do it. No, you have to do that yourself and go clang, clang, clang, clang, on guard. Clang. I just don't think. Reposed. Clang. It sounds like this person, maybe they can get the metal, but then they can't do it. They're just going to have two big steel pipes. And it's like, this is a sword. It's a super non non sharp sword. But I also don't know

how to tell this person, but the small, just infinitely small bit I know about like forging and like blacksmithing, you don't start off with like a sword shaped piece of metal. You start off with like a brick shaped like or can I get just like a piece of metal already in the shape of the sword? And can you like put it on like a sword handle and make sure it's balanced and super sharp? And then I will, I'll just take it from there. And then I'll just hammer on it a couple of times and proclaim it done and then have it rise out of like a lake or something. And I'll pick it up and I'll go insane. Oh my God. So I was, I've been researching extensively to try to find some information about making swords and I found this page from anvilfire.com

and they have sword myths slash fiction. So let me hit you guys with some sword myths. Yeah. What have I been getting wrong about swords this whole time? Is it actual slash fiction? Because it's really appropriate with swords, swords, myths and sword fiction. The buster sword from Final Fantasy seven and a samurai sword. They met one day. He said, you looking really good buster sword and then they clanked. They clanked and clanked. I'm gonna clank. I'm gonna clank all over your sheath. Blood does not make a superior quenchant. This is an old myth. Neither virgins or slaves have been used to test swords. That is a children's story. What? Children's story. Get around, get around, help me test the blades. How many y'all fucked?

None of y'all? Let me tell you, you'd be good sword fodder. You cannot chop a machine gun barrel in two with a Japanese sword. Modern myth. No, I saw that on Mythbusters. Mythbusted. Ancient steels were not superior to modern alloy steels. Yeah, no shit. Another modern myth. It's because our steels are like genetically like superior in every way. They've been modified and enhanced and chopped and screwed. Here's where things go weirdly askew. Atlantis was not in the Atlantic. The story of Atlantis was based on rumors of the demise of Minoan island culture in the Mediterranean by volcanic eruption. The story was handed down

by Egyptians to Plato, who turned the little truth into a myth. Listen, Amalfire, I'm not gonna tell you your straying from the path of sword myths, but throw the word sword in there Yeah, they sometimes had swords. Somebody in there. Adamantium is a fictional comic book element without any basis in reality, like Kryptonite. It's just another unobtainium. JFK was not actually assassinated by a sword. Like, yeah, dog, like I know. I know that one. Swords are not good food. Yeah, okay, thank you. Clouds are not made of small white swords. Like, thanks, website. Mithril J.R.R. Token is another myth equal metal. Myth is all caps.

Thank you. Last one. You cannot, and this is the one that I find very confusing on several levels. You cannot cold forge a sword from a leaf spring. Modern web myth slash parody. What? What's the most hilarious parody on the web? The guy who called for just a sword in a leaf spring. Everyone gets a real kick out of it. I think that's a weird Al-Yankovic jam. Does it say anything on there, Justin, about whether or not steak knives are just little swords? Art cocktail swords are real swords. True or false? I feel like we all learned a lot about swords today.

Sword wisdom. Sword wisdom. Sword wisdom is not a blade metal. It is not intrinsically sharp or hard as recent TV commercial for razor blades indicates. This more Hollywood hype and bad science written by advertising executives that know nothing of an allergy. Big corpos selling out. Well, what are you going to tell me next that adamantium is real? Shills. Hugh Jackman myth.

You cannot cop. This last one, I promise. You cannot, and he has one. He has a whole section about myth and then one section about Highlander. This is exactly one fact long. You cannot chop into a concrete column with a sharp sword without seriously damaging it. You cannot chop steel railings or beams into with any sword. Any sword. Swords do not make showers with sparks when something against other items or other swords. Listen, you just spent a whole page teaching me how to make swords, and then you're spending the rest of the page

dissuading me from wanting to make the sword in the first place. Listen, I just finished watching Highlander for the first time. Do not kill my buzz. Electricity does not shoot out of someone's severed neck, and empowering the person who did the severing. This is a myth. A Hollywood myth made to sell tickets. Immortals are peace-loving people. They're not violent in any way. Swords have never directly killed somebody. That is a myth. That is a myth. Every time you see someone killed with a sword, it is a myth.

I can guess how many people alcohol is killed. Billions. Why don't you regulate that before you regulate all my swords? Every one you know has been killed by alcohol. It's my 30th or so amendment right to carry a sword around in public, unsheathed. Right to cut off arms. I have a concealed carry permit for my sword. It is basically just like we're talking about from my right shoulder blade down my left pant leg. That's where I keep it. Also, I'm a wandering soldier, righting wrongs.

Dave walks with a really weird limp. Have you noticed that? It's almost like he's got a sword down his sh-sh-sh-sh. It's concealed. It's concealed. It's concealed. If shit goes south, he's going to be the one that fucking saves us. Although, shit, swords have never killed anybody. Fuck. Swords are actually physically incapable.

If some fool comes up here and a gun, we're not going to be able to do anything, because swords are fairly normally- Don't worry. He can just cut the gun in half. Oh, no, no, no. I read on Amphile Fire that that's a myth. Damn. What does he use it for? I don't know, like celery? There's celery that needs chopped to, like, that's Dave. Dave with a bullet, you know what I mean?

I mean, it's sword. Dave has a gun? No, no, no, no. It's just a saying that I made up just now. Gunswords are real. And in fact, half of swords have guns in them. This is a true statement. But there's no way to tell if it's a gun sword just by looking at it. No, no, no. The truth will be discovered in the moment.

When the time is right and you need it the most, the gun sword will present itself. Guns are basically just swords that throw little swords. They're just really bad swords. They're just bad swords, really. This gun, oh, I see. Yeah, your sword goes super fast. But can it cut through concrete?

Nope. I read on another website that swords can. I'm getting some disputed claims about my ability to cut into concrete. Can we fact check internet, please? Let me check Yahoo Answers. All right, I'm actually literally- What can I cut with a sword? You're still humans. I got a message for you from Dan Ramble and Zilla's Fiesta Party on the house.

I feel like it wasn't Zilla. What was it? It's not, but I think Zilla- It was Larry. Larry's Fiesta Party on the house. Yeah, but I think Zilla's an actual human here who's injected herself into the Fiesta Party on the house. Christine, I have no clue which wife got you for your birthday because- Of the New Hampshire Fiesta Party on the houses? Christine, I have no clue what my wife got you for your birthday

because quite frankly, this shout-out is way better. We bonded over MBMEAM and I'm always pumped to text you the latest silly goof from the brothers. I hope you are paying us for those. As you know, we have a copyright on all our bits. Let's just keep this a secret. Happy birthday and good luck in university. New little sister from us.

Oh, that's lovely. This is so nice. I'm very confused as to the relationship between these two people, but- Don't get too bogged down. It's very Dawson's Creek. If you think about it too much, it's just gonna get confusing. Griff, you got another message for us? I do. This message is for David Leavenworth from Jacob McClintock

who says, Happy birthday, Dave-o. What a clever nickname. Come on, Jacob. You can do better than that. Yeah, better than that. Thanks for coming to us for critique on this nickname, Jess. Let me try-

Let me- Can I try my own here? Yeah. Yeah. Happy birthday, Mr. Sweats. No, it's important that he always wears sweats. Happy birthday, Mr. Sweats. I hope this shout-out on our favorite podcast

makes up for the fact that I didn't get you anything tangible. Thanks for being there for me when times are tough and being the best friend a guy could ask for. Also, you piece of shit. I fucking hate you. Whoa. Fuck off, Mr. Sweats. We took a harsh turn.

Listen. Twist. You do a lot for David. You get him through some hard times. Cocksucker. Wait, David is Mr. Sweats. Wait, have you ever seen David and Mr. Sweats in the same place at the same time?

Have you also noticed how much Dave perspires? It's crazy. Guys, I do not think that Unbreakable 2 has the same high stakes tension with Mr. Sweats as the lead antagonist. They called me Mr. Sweats. I know that you never sweat. It is almost like you are my foil.

Unmoistable was that one. That dude's been running for like two hours. Honey, have I ever been sweaty? Uh, think about it. I swear, we have a picture of you being sweaty somewhere. Yeah, it's sweet. My dad never sweats. I don't understand it.

His only problem is that he can't see. He's blind. It's his weakness. I'm in a maze. Someone help me. Who saved me? Mr. Sweats did. That's the twist ending.

Mr. Sweats hates you, but he loves you. What a twist. What a twist from the makers of that one devil elevator movie. You know what, though? He could make this exact movie for Beethoven. It would still be the end of the happening. It's true. Well, by better, you mean like quality-wise,

not in terms of like enjoyment of watching, because there is no more enjoyable movie than the happening. Fair enough. Are you eyeing my lemon drink? No, I'm not. I can't see, like I can't fucking see. I can't see. You look like you need refreshment.

Obviously, I don't. Clearly, I don't. My foil. No way of regulating my body temperature. Travis, you got one more message? Yes, this is for Nancy from Spencer, Stefan, Sabrina, and Kara. Hey, Nancy.

Hey there, Nancy. Guess what, Nancy? It's your birthday. You're the coolest gal in birthday town and one-of-a-kind IRL friend with a voice made to sing and a heart made to care. Your friends all appreciate you at least $100 more than you could ever know, and they want you to know that.

So enjoy your strawberry-free B-day. You deserve it. A voice made to sing and a heart made to care, is your friend Nancy a heroine in a noir crime novel? I think it's Nancy Sinatra. Oh, okay. Happy birthday, Nancy. Gosh, what a storied career you've had.

And I'm glad that your friends finally got rid of all those strawberries. You think she's allergic or just like, she's just like, this birthday fuck strawberries. They're not even a real fruit. The fruit is the seed on the outside. Get that shit out of here. Listen, Nancy is turning 68 years old.

She is running out of themes for her birthday. This year's theme? Nancy, we need a theme. I don't know, fuck strawberries. I guess. Yeah. So it's better than nothing. You've all tried Hulu.

Everybody knows about Hulu, but have you guys gotten into Hulu Plus yet? You know we have. I've been trying. That was plus-sized Hulu, right? I've been using Hulu Minus lately. I do not know that it is getting the job done for me. For me, there is only Hulu and Hulu Minus.

Hulu Plus is Hulu, as far as I'm concerned. You can see exclusive content like Hulu Originals, The Awesomes with SNL Seth Meyers, and Moon Boy starring Chris O'Dowd from Bridesmaids. That's a good one. It's a charming little Irish television program. He's a great talent. He's a great find.

But listen, with all this awesome stuff, it's got to be super expensive, right? No, you idiot. It's only $8 a month. They say $7.99. I'm not going to buy into this hypocrisy. It's actually $7.99 repeating. It's $8, okay?

But for $8, that's a value. You're not going to care about that extra penny. I just invented it because you can stream as many TVs, shows, and movies as you want. And we're going to give you, well, let's call it two free weeks when you go to HuluPlus.com forward slash my brother. That's a special offender for listeners.

HuluPlus.com slash my brother. And you get a free trial. And they know that we have a lot of power over you. We control you. And it's worth it just to see the hug-melt moment in America's next model. Oh, yes. You watched it.

Oh, don't. I really got into it now, and I can't stop watching it. Did you just watch my best-selling Vine? I do love it. I also love the Sorry About the Clowns moment. That's just torn the internet apart. Greatest line on the TV is, I'm sorry about the clowns.

Sorry about the clowns. I fucked up. You got it. You don't know what you're talking about. You need to go on HuluPlus. Watch America's next stop model. 2.0 boys in the house. Boys in the house.

This week was not bars. The clothes at the end, they were like, you're out. Guess what? This person's back in. This other person's back in, too. And guess what? You're also out. Fuck it.

Fuck the rules. There are no rules for 2.0, baby. 2.0 boys in the house. Boys in the house. Game done changed. Hey, this is Aaron and Brian from Throwing Shade, and we would love to throw some shade on you this summer. Every Tuesday, we inject all sorts of news stories

concerning ladies and gays with silliness and sexiness. Just in time for bikini season. Check us out on Max Fun under Throwing Shade. OK, they're not stupid. No, I know, but yeah, they could be. Well, why would you spell it out like that? Well, because I was the spelling bee champion of the world. I have both a co-worker and a friend

that are very much into creating their own music. They talk about it often and give me CDs to listen to. I do not enjoy either one's music. Strangely enough, both musicians' music reminds me of elevator music, remixed with Techno Flare and Dying Cat's Last How. Needless to say, I want to avoid complimenting them on their sound crimes, but have to say something about the CD they just gave me.

What is the right way to tell them the music they put their heart and soul into is not for me without hurting their feelings? And that's from Twin Cities Techno. And Twin Cities Techno, great news. There's an easy solution. Fresh off the assembly line at Mabimbam Co Industries. You lie.

You're going to lie. You're going to just lie. You're going to lie. And it goes like this. It's just as easy. Man, that was great. Thanks for letting me borrow that CD. It's awesome.

Can't wait for the next one. Yeah, done. Keep them coming. Listen, well. Just keep cranking how the jam's, man. You should quit your job and just do this full time. You can just say what you told us, but spin it like a good thing.

It sounded kind of like elevator music with a Techno Flare with a Dying Cat's Last How over it. And I like that. Or just flip it. Just flip it to negative like that mirror in Zelda. And you just sit there and just throw like not and didn't into all of those. Like it definitely didn't sound like elevator music

remixed with a Techno Flare and not a Dying Cat's Last How. It was kind of like being in like a really cool elevator where Techno music was playing. And also there was like all kinds of sick cats around. They were dying? I don't do not enjoy either one of your music. The beats are so sick that it's like the cats were like dying in this cool elevator.

But they were like cool with it. Like they kind of wanted to die. They're like Sylphia Plash. Yeah. They let a good life and they were suffering and they were just happy to end it. Totally rad hospice cats and like this totally sweet elevator. And the elevator was like to heaven

and like they knew that in some way and you could just hear it. Yeah. In their chorus of Meows. Really good stuff. Really, really good stuff. My first listen to it was such like a profound moment for me that I'm not sure I could ever like really listen to it again. It's like Donnie Darko.

You know, you watch it, you're so moved and I just don't know that I could stand it. Like I can't. You know, the emotions. I can't watch American Beauty. Like I can't go there. And to be like honest with you, like listening to it was such a personal experience.

I don't really feel comfortable talking about it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's like why don't you ask me about my first time having sex? Why don't you have me describe that? And I would rather talk about that right now if you do want to. OK, so this is what it was. So I lost my virginity to your CD.

It's great doing it music. Because like when I was when I was like. I thought you meant like you fucked the CD. No, no, no. When I was making Love, it was that one track that sounded like all the hospice cats. And the person was like, I really like the sound of these hospice cats.

I feel like I'm in like the coolest elevator making Love to You for the first time. Oh, you want to meet this person that liked your music? Um, they don't. You shouldn't. They would be uncomfortable. I think they had such an intimate connection. And it's like we haven't been dating that long.

So it's like I'm not really at that phase where I introduce some of my co-workers yet. You know, it was actually so intimate and personal this experience for me that I would prefer you not play your music for anybody. Yes. No, that's my it's my music now. I kind of want like a patronage style thing where like I pay you

to make the music, but no one else gets to listen to it. And I may not just because it's really personal. Oh, I just had the best idea. Did you? Yeah, you need to you need to like star cross this. You need to like take your co-worker CD, give it to your friend, give your friend CD to your co-worker, then like put them together in the same room and say,

Oh yeah, you listen to that CD and you listen to their CD. Oh, I'm going to go grab a drink and then just let them like at it. And either they're going to love each other and you're out or they're going to be like, I kind of thought your music was dump. Oh yeah, well, your music was dumped and you don't have to say a word. And you get caught in that feedback loop. That's how Steely Dan was formed. Think about it.

I think you should say it's pretty good. You mind if I make some edits and they say, Yeah, sure. I'd love to hear you put your own spin on it. I'd love to hear your remix. And then you just burn them a copy of Jazzy Jeff in the house. And then you give them that. And then they say this sounds this does sound a lot better.

What if you say I'd like to make some edits and they say, sure, remix it. And then you just make them watch you snap the CD over your knee. There you go. That's much better. Is there any true facts that you can tell? Can you be like, I like is a very professional printing. I like how round it was.

There were not any rough edges on the CD, which was nice. I like it. It was a CD, RW, which was nice because I reuse. I really liked how it's circumference was like 3.14 the size of its diameter. I really kind of dug that about it. It's like a really clever take on it. I really like the disc art.

I wrote on it with a Sharpie. Yeah, it's like so minimal DIY, you know. Why did you write brain poison? It's art. It's like punk rock. You wrote brain poison. Do not listen to too personal, too personal. Listen only once when you make love to your future wife.

How did you meet mom? This is how I met your mother ends. You guys have eight years? Sit down. Sit down. My friend let me borrow this shitty CD. It's super round. But before that.

His name is Rob Thomas. And now you know the rest of the story. Think about naming my band Matchbox 5. Too low. Keep going up. Listen, I say that. I love Matchbox. I love Matchbox 20, you guys.

So I don't want any of your hate mail. No, but you prefer Rob Thomas' solo shit. And when I say his solo shit. I mean, that includes the Santana song. You can just, you can really see the Rob Thomas shining through his solo stuff. He's not as held back by the other 19 Matchbox members. That's why his second, his first solo

was called Me and Santana, No Limits. And then he got that cease and desist letter from Santana. You never met him. Stop showing that video you made. I recorded this sweet CD with this guy named Satan. Did you meet him? Did you meet him? I don't think that's right.

Yeah, it's called Smooth. He plays this sick, like electric Latin guitar riff that I've never heard. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're talking about Santana. Pretty sure his name was Satan. Satan, I think. The weirdest thing, I heard this on VH1 behind music. During that whole recording process,

Santana thought he was working with Rob's own. Hey, man, I just wanted to say, I love your work on Veranke Mars. Now, that's the other Rob Thomas. Okay, I can see how this happened now. I really liked it when you made me that sandwich at Arby's. That was Bob Thomas. You're thanking Bob Thomas, the Arby's attendee. I really liked when you were the president at Thomas Jefferson.

You're getting further and further off. I like your morning radio show. Let me thank Bob and Tom. You were really off the reservations there, man. I like it when I put you at the end of my fishing line, and then I can tell when I have a bite. Are you talking about a bobber? I couldn't tell if you were doing an impression of Santana

or Rob Zombie for half a minute. I really love how you govern the damned souls in hell. No, I don't think that's me, Bob. Bob Thompson. I really like how you're a merry fellow living in a small valley close to the withly-wined river. That's Tom Bombadil. Killing me.

You guys want to yell who? Sure. This one is sent in by Sean Fagan. Thanks, Sean. It's by Yahoo! Who answers user Tommy, who asks, would it be weird to wear a shirt that says full-time baller for picture day? Part-time occasional seasonal baller.

I go to a Catholic school and we normally have to wear a uniform, but we can wear whatever we want for picture day. And my mom says it would be weird to wear a shirt with words for a high school picture day. I just want to express myself, though, so I don't know. You've got to be careful when you wear a worded shirt for picture day, because if it gets cut off, it could just say, this kid's a full-time ball. What kind of cut off would there be on that shirt,

given that it's kind of like one of the corners is angled? Or do you think it says ball-er? It's the top of it, right? It could just say full. This kid has been satiated by the foodie age. You should send a threatening message to yourself in the future. What if you wear a shirt that just said, I don't have a job? Where did you go wrong?

Or just a shirt that just says wasted it. You wasted it. You wasted it all. So much promise. I blame you, older me. Are we an astronaut yet? Are you an astronaut? I think full-time baller gets that job done,

because then he can look back. He can look back and say, am I still balling it? Am I still balling it 40 hours a week? I feel like I've cut back to like 31. I'm definitely not hitting that 32 to 40 range. What if your shirt said unpaid overtime baller? It's like you need to unionize. Full-time baller with benefits.

I'm not even balling enough to get health care under Obamacare. There's very little balling going on in my day-to-day. Baller can mean all kinds of things, right? It's not just like... I always assumed it was from sports stars, that that was the origin of the word. But it can also mean sex, right? Having a lot of sex.

You play basketball, and that's where the ball part of it comes from. But also you can ball somebody, and that's a gross way of saying you had sex with them, right? That is a disgusting way of saying you had sex with them. What does that mean? You just put your balls inside of them? Why would you do that? Or you just kind of undramatically lay your balls on them?

On like a shelf? More of like just like a brief respite. These dogs are mine to bark and prop them up. Do you mind if I just put these here? Oh, were you going to use that? I'm sorry. Were you not done eating that? My bad.

My bad. Sorry, I put my balls on your waffle. I thought that's what it was there for. I mean, read the shirt, ma'am. It is 3.30 p.m. and it is obviously I am on the clock. What did you think I meant? What if my fucking supervisor saw me not balling? That's my...

Do you understand how competitive this fucking market is? This economy? In this economy, you want me unemployed? Already scraping by on fucking minimum wage. There's 10 other people waiting to put their balls on your waffle. I have a teen daughter I have to feed. This isn't where I saw myself when I took my high school picture day photo, but so be it. You don't put your balls on shit.

Your shit. You're fired. A always B, B, B ballin'. Do you want the sweet leads as to what to put your balls on? Coffee is for waffle ball put on ice or something. Second prize is instead of steak knives. Third knives is you still ball all the time because you're a full-time baller. I can't change that.

I'm only Alec Baldwin. Baldwin. Sorry. Oh, what? Man, I'm just mad. Alan Alder probably is the biggest baller, like, to ever ball, right? Yeah, sure. It's not even a job for him.

It's just like life. It's just like his life. He does it in his sleep at this point. It's probably easy for him to just, like, drape his. Stop it. I get it from over there. How did you do that, Alan Alder? My wife will divorce me.

I cannot do this with you. Thank you for listening, my brother, my brother, me. It's an advice show. We hope you enjoyed it. Got him. How'd you do that, Alan Alder? We were mid-conversation. This has been our show.

We hope you liked it. Thank you to people tweeting about the show. I Jason O'Connor, Addie Schweiss, Slam Bam, Miriam, Steve Fallows, Cruz Flores, Cheeter, Trace Smith, Corinne Porter, Krista, Cheesemary, Nicholas Lephart, Ian Oliver, Jake Nate Hall, Reagan Roggin, I guess. Samuel Newkirk, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Chris Zubackskies, who said very, very accurately,

I'd say this episode of him, BNBAM, was weird, but like, what am I comparing it to? Which is accurate. If you want to tweet about the show, make sure you use the NBNBAM hashtag and follow us on Twitter if you don't already. When you do tweet about the show, try to include a link to our sample,

it's bit.ly forward slash NBNBAM2013. If you're going to tumble the show, use that hashtag too. Sometimes I look at the Tumblr hashtags. Okay. Yeah, tumble us. It's mostly slash fiction. Catch us on Grindr. Catch us on Grindr.

Use the hashtag full-bodied brothers. Full-time baller. Full-time baller, bros. Oh, also, it just popped into my head. This week is Band Books Week. What the fuck? It's a week of drawing attention. No, I mean, everybody knows what Band Books Week is.

Like, why are we talking about it? Because I want everyone to buy their kids some Band Books. Stick it to the man. Some of those books are banned for a reason, though, Trav. They're pretty shit. I'm not saying all of them. I wish that was the only reason the books got banned. I'm not saying all of them are.

But I am saying that like Fahrenheit 451 has passed some pretty dangerous ideas. They read that one, then they're all about banned books. And then if they start fighting against that, then they're going to get into some really dangerous ideas. So anyway. And system powders stop the insanity. It's just nonsensical.

I don't even understand. Band. Band it. But the number one banned books right now is Captain Underpants. Yeah. Really? Yeah. You want to look at some naked, chubby dudes for a bit?

You want your kids to look at that? How about just go anywhere on the internet? Just throw a dart at the internet. Just search full-size brothers. Full-buddy brothers. Throw a dart. I want to say, I want to say thanks to Hulu Plus where you can bid on thousands of hit shows any time,

anywhere you can get an extended free trial of Hulu Plus when you go to huluplus.com forward slash my brother. I just hit the switch on my chair that made it lower, which is why there was an odd peek in my voice there. And again, that address is huluplus.com forward slash my brother. You scare yourself a little bit? I got a little scared of my heart is racing. I want to thank John Rodgerick in the long,

as long as we're thanking people, I want to thank John Rodgerick in the long winters. For these of our theme song, it's a departure, which is on the album, Putting the Days to Bed.
