Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:39 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.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Hello, everybody, and welcome to My Brother, My Brother, me and advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, your middle brother Travis Vroom Vroom McElroy. I'm trying to decide, Trav, maybe you can help me make this choice, whether or not to let that slide or make it part of it, make it like a sort of diegetic part of the show.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I don't know. I think it's part of it. Why did you say Happy Easter, Juice? Why did you start this? It's after Easter as we record this, I know that there's a gap between this and this. That was before the, that wasn't in the recording. It was. We said it.
Starting point is 00:01:41 It is. Me and Travis have ruled you. Because now we've referenced it. It must be. It's diegetic. Do you see how we said it. It is, it is. Me and Travis have ruled you. Because now we've referenced it. It must be. It's die-a-jack. Do you see how we did it? Because in my head, I was thinking about how I went to see the Minecraft movie with my kids. Uh-huh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And when I went to see the Minecraft movie, I saw that they were showing episodes of the Jesus TV show, The Chessman. Lost? Oh. No, the other Jesus TV show. Sorry. And by the way, in the finale of Lost,
Starting point is 00:02:05 when they reveal that it is- Perfect Strangers? Just a huge Christian allegory, I felt personally betrayed by that. Yeah. So they were shown episodes of Chosen, it's a TV show about Jesus that has made $800 billion, and the other thing is-
Starting point is 00:02:16 Is Jesus working with a detective to solve crimes? Because if not, I'm not interested. That kicks ass. No, it's just the same story and we all know how it ends, but this is the, speaking of- Wait, Griffin, you didn't introduce yourself and now people are so confused. I'm Griffin McElroy, thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Okay, so I saw there's another flick called King of Kings and this is the story of- The Kingsman. Jesus, stop me if you've heard about this guy. Another Easter treat for everybody, a faith-based film. This place was running two different faith-based pieces of programming or this cinema? Yes, this is like, yes. Cool. was running two different faith-based pieces of programming, or this cinema? Oh, yeah, this is like, yes.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Cool. And I, yes, a lot of Christmas movies come out at Christmas. I don't see. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Oh, fair, yeah, but this was pretty chilling. Just to see in the hallway, it's like a lot
Starting point is 00:02:57 of faith-based content. I saw you grew up in that. I didn't love it. But I was gonna blow this off, but then I started looking at the cast and guys, this thing's stacked, okay? Can you not reveal roles? Will you reveal some names and maybe we try to guess
Starting point is 00:03:15 who the Jesus is? And can I just do a long shot? Is the rock in it? Cause he seems to be in 18 movies a year, or John Cena, one of those two. No, that's amazing. There are a lot of vets. Like there's a lot of like voice actor,
Starting point is 00:03:27 like Dee Bradley Baker legally mandated appearance. Wait, is this animated or live action? It is animated and it is the framing devices. Charles Dickens is telling the story of Jesus to his kids. Wait, oh, hold on, that's real. Yeah. Okay, I thought that was a joke that you came up with on the fly.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I'm just giving you, I'm giving you fair, this is to be fair, okay? I'll tell you right now, J-Man, I don't know if canonically in history, Charles Dickens would have cared about the story of Jesus, but less than that, I'm also not sure if Charles Dickens has kids. Does Charles Dickens have kids? I don't think that your sure if Charles Dickens has kids. Does Charles Dickens have kids?
Starting point is 00:04:05 I don't think that your ignorance of Charles Dickens is necessarily a great basis for criticism of the film. It's like your unawareness of it. Is not, he did write a book called The Life. No, that was a criticism of myself, to be clear. Oh, okay, cool. Okay, The Life of Our Lord is the book that Charles Dickens wrote about the story of Jesus.
Starting point is 00:04:22 So I would say he has a vested interest, Travis. So you now have all the pieces to play this amazing game. I'm gonna tell you some actors and I want, and yeah, Travis, you can guess. Where would you put, and I'm just gonna give you a D. Bradley Baker is Willa the cat. I don't think that's relevant to the story.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I had to remember that there was a Dickensian layer here because I didn't think that was in- Where would you put in, where would you slide in, say a big talent like Ben Kingsley? Oh shit, Ben, Benjamin? Benjamin Kingsley? I'll tell you. I'll tell you what's hitting me.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Yeah. What? Pilot. Pontius Piper? Very close, Caiaphas. Caiaphas! One of the classics. Now where would you put in Pierce Brosnan? Not in this film.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Well, you gotta put him in somewhere, he's in it. Not Christ. I could see him as a Barabbas, perhaps. A Barabbas. Son of Barabbas, you think he's gonna get out of bed for a Barabbas? Yeah, that's a good point. I'm going with Pilate,
Starting point is 00:05:23 Guy's not going with with pilot on this one. Pontius Pilate. Correct, Travis, Pontius Pilate played by Pierce Brosnan. Now I can't keep guessing that, though. Now what about Kenneth Branagh, though? Where would you put Kenneth Branagh? Okay, hold on. We're getting close to Christ's territory
Starting point is 00:05:39 with how big these names are. Kenneth Branagh, huh? Is this an Oscar-bait Jesus movie or what's going on? Aren't they all? It is an Oscar bait Jesus movie. Okay, I haven't heard of it, dang. An Oscar bait Jesus movie for best animated feature though. Huh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Where would you put Kenneth Branagh? I'm gonna say Judas. Charles Dickens. Oscar Isaac. Oh my God. That's Jesus. That's Jesus. Ah. Yes, Travis, it's an Oscar bait Jesus movie.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Wait, it's- Oscar Isaac stars as Jesus. Oscar Isaac is Jesus. So it's technically an Oscar bait because they got him to play the role of Jesus by offering him the role of Jesus. So yes, it's an Oscar bait. He was also, I believe, in a Christian ska band
Starting point is 00:06:24 called the Blinking Underdogs. So yeah, we're getting some interesting context. Like we learned about Uma Thurman in this film, playing the role of? I mean, Mary is sort of the only one that jumps immediately to mind. Catherine Dickens. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Sorry, forgetting about the Dickens thing. Dickens says a big part of this. Yeah, they sneak in there. That's a big part. Forrest Whitaker. Damn it. Sorry. The Dickens say he's a big part of this. Yeah, they sneak in there. That's a big part. Forrest Whitaker's in it. Forrest Whitaker is in it. He's in it. I'll give you a hint, he's the rock of the church.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Oh, Pete. Pete. Pete, big Pete. Mark Hamill's in it. Oh man. Now Mark Hamill has to be in it, cause it is animated, but who would you, where would you put Mark Hamill?
Starting point is 00:07:04 The Joker. The Joker? He's, yes. Yeah, he's the Joker in it because it is animated, but who would you, where would you put Mark Hamill? The Joker. The Joker? He's, yes. Yeah, he's the Joker in this. Whoa, weird, the Joker. That's cool. No, he plays, he plays King Herod. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Makes sense, makes sense. I don't think they got a big, this probably won't surprise you, but I don't think there's a, there's not a lot of big name actors lining up for the role of Judas. I get who I killed. They don't have a big one for Judas.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Christoph Waltz, just doing full blown Christoph Waltz. Christoph Waltz Judas. Walton Goggins would be amazing as Judas. Oh yeah, the great betrayer. Christoph Walton Goggins, now that would be, that's the guy I would get. That's the guy from, that's the guy I would get. I don't know if you guys have seen him a lot. That's the guy from Superbad. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Maybe his dark green dog? Jesus, it looks like they're stuck on that cross! Why don't you just bounce on down? The wonderful thing about Jesus is he's the only one! He wasn't gissing or ducking. No... Hey Jesus, Max, get Jesus on down from that cross. That's a different guy.
Starting point is 00:08:48 No, did you do, oh no, you played Pete. Pete, I'm gonna go D, yeah, I was trying to find a Pete but it wasn't there. I'll tell you Jesus, here's the thing, nail him to the cross. Oh man, my dad's drunk again. So that is the film film as these things are getting Pretty big also, I mean Jim Cummings and I did share
Starting point is 00:09:14 Share a scene cuz he I didn't realize this he played Lord Boxman in Okk. Oh, that's great. And From I was in that same, the same episode, the, a couple of episodes ago. Look at you. Cool. All right, look at me go. And listen, this is an advice show.
Starting point is 00:09:31 This is not a show about the hit Jesus movie. And I know what you're wondering, how did they get all these big names? The answer is they gave them a lot of money. A hundred billion dollars. These movies make a lot of money. These hundred billion dollars. One might say 30 silver. These movies make a lot of money. They're also crowdfunded.
Starting point is 00:09:49 So they make a lot of money. Okay, so here's the deal. This is an advice show. All right, and we're gonna take your questions and turn the Malcolm E. Leck into wisdom. We haven't forgotten our core competency. My neighbor and I are friendly with each other and our young children often play together.
Starting point is 00:10:04 One day I saw them packing their van, and he grumbled they were going to Disney World. He seemed very annoyed about the whole trip and complained his wife was making him go. Few days after they left, he's texted me if I'd pull his garbage out in the street. I said, sure, as long as you take a picture with Goofy for me.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I don't know why I said Goofy. I'm not a Goofy fan, and neither is my kid. I was just giving him a little grief since he didn't want to go on the trip. Next week when they returned, I saw him in the yard and asked him what the vacation was. He showed me the phone, which had an endless amount of pictures of his family with Goofy and Max.
Starting point is 00:10:33 What's more is he said he had gotten their autographs and was having it all framed to present to my three-year-old as a present. Oh, okay, I see what's happening here. Now I know where the question is. Oh no! Brothers, my boy has no idea who Goofy is, let alone his son. This was such a nice gesture, but it all came from a throwaway joke I made.
Starting point is 00:10:53 How can I get my son to have a deep love of Goofy before they give him this gift? Oh man! Oh boy, this is a McElroy question, I've never heard one. Fuck a duck! This would definitely happen to us. Jesus. Yeah, you really threaded the needle here. You've come to the right place.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Goofy is the safest choice to be like, take a picture with, because that's why I think, I know this wasn't a question, but psychologically, you're like, maybe you did some subconscious calculations, and you're like, maybe you did some subconscious calculations. And you're like, I don't wanna say Minnie or Daisy, because that would feel weird if I'm like, I need pictures of them.
Starting point is 00:11:32 That would feel fetish adjacent, yeah. Goofy is the right pull. I don't know why, but it is the funny. Sometimes with jokes, you gotta run through, and I don't know why it is what it is, but like, goofy is the pull. I don't know why, but it's Goofy. Yeah, you can't make a three year old like anything, has been my experience.
Starting point is 00:11:51 You could show them Goofy movie, but they might be hugely uncomfortable with the complicated social dynamics of, they don't get into that shit in these YouTube, in a YouTube video, they don't get into complicated family dynamics and kids today can't hang with that shit in a YouTube video, they don't get into complicated family dynamics and kids today can't hang with that shit. They cannot. And there's a part
Starting point is 00:12:09 where Max murders a man by swinging him into a giant thing of life. Max fully kills a guy at the end of that film. Yeah, the guy's trying to chase Max, they swing on rope. Doing his job as a security guard, this kid could have a bomb vest strapped to him trying to kill Powerline so that the president
Starting point is 00:12:26 will notice him. And this is my favorite, I love the goofy movie, it's my favorite Disney animated movie, I'm wearing a Powerline shirt right now, is when they land on the stage next to Powerline. Powerline's like, what? And doesn't do what I think anybody in that scenario do, which would be to leave the stage as quickly as possible.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Leave the stage immediately. Let security handle it. They can't because a child killed them? That's correct. Now you could do, I think the way I introduce my children to Goofy and every parent's approach to introducing their children to Goofy is different. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:13:04 But I did inform them that according to Goofy's different, I understand that. But I did inform them that according to Goofy's Wikipedia, he has had many names over the years, including George Geef. Henry only calls this full George Geef when he sees it. You guys really ruined him with that said. And so when we went to Disney the first time, and you have the people in character going around meeting everybody,
Starting point is 00:13:23 and I said, oh, here comes George Geefe. And that just tickled my daughters to no end. And that I think is how I got the ball rolling. You could also just play the two musical power line scenes, stand out and eye to eye without the complicated family dynamics. And those are fun. Those are good. I've been trying, I've been struggling with this problem
Starting point is 00:13:49 in my house, cause my kids were on the YouTube and I was like, I can't, you guys can't watch the YouTube anymore, cause I watch the documentary about how YouTube's bad. Oh, what? So I told them I can't. Don't, oh man, don't tell me what it is, cause then I'll feel compelled to watch it.
Starting point is 00:14:02 It's like the family YouTube's, it's like everybody knows it's bad. So Mr.ast is still okay, right? Oh, Beast is, Beast. All YouTubes is bad. YouTubes is bad, because my kids will watch this show. No. It doesn't matter, I'm not judging. I haven't done any research on MrBeast recently.
Starting point is 00:14:14 YouTube is bad for my kids, for our decision. So we say, you're watching too much YouTube, no more YouTube. And my kids are like pretty minimal to it. And then, a week after the initial, you know, ranting and screaming, but about a week later, and this is just a couple of days ago now,
Starting point is 00:14:31 I see Cooper and she is, sometimes I worry about oversharing, but she's watching Young Sheldon. Whoa. Unironically, Travis, she's on season two, episode nine. Yeah, you can't watch, you can't, I watch a season and a half of Young Sheldon.
Starting point is 00:14:52 She's on season two, episode nine, and to be fair, she is fast-forwarding. What? It's on Netflix. So she does fast-forward through anytime where there's kissing. But she has been fully, fully indoctrinated. There's a lot of kissing on Young Sheldon?
Starting point is 00:15:10 Wouldn't think there's a lot kissing. I mean, not a huge amount, but there is like any time any relationship drama happens. Every episode has a deep tongue scene in Young Sheldon. Which is fucking weird, man. But most of the time it's in the background. It's happening extras, yeah. She came to me while I was brushing my teeth
Starting point is 00:15:26 and she said, hey dad, I think young Sheldon is smarter than Einstein. And I said, go on, do tell. She said, well, did Einstein ever build a rocket? And I said, no. And she said, did young Sheldon ever build a rocket? And I said, I would have no way of knowing that. She said, well, he did. I said, well, it sounds like young Sheldon ever build a rocket? And I said, I would have no way of knowing that. She said, well, he did.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I said, well, it sounds like Young Sheldon is smarter than Einstein. And she said, but I think the kid from the Minecraft movie made a jet pack, so he's probably smarter than both of them. He's the smartest of all. And I said, yeah, okay, that's the power ranking right there. Kid from the Minecraft movie, Young Sheldon, way down here at the bottom, Einstein.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Well, Reed Richards, I think is right above Einstein. Thank you, Travis, good point. Reed Richards, I think, is right above Einstein. Thank you, Travis, good point. Reed Richards, absolutely. Yeah, so you can't, there's no hope here. You can't make your kid like Goofy. You can, man, when you get the gifts, just you take them and then they'll be like, aren't you gonna give it to your son?
Starting point is 00:16:19 And you say, no, this is embarrassing. I'm a huge Goofy freak. Oh, yeah. It was too embarrassing to admit it. Don't say freak, though. No, you do. I mean, own it. Say, I'm a big Goofy, I'm a huge goofy freak. And it was too embarrassing to admit it. No, don't say freak though. No, you do. I mean, own it. Say I'm a big goofy,
Starting point is 00:16:27 I'm a nasty fucked up goofy freak. And this is the only way I get my jollies. How did he smell? How did he smell? So explain the smell of goofy to me. Is this the hand that touched him? Is there any chance that you typed, take a goofy picture with a lowercase G?
Starting point is 00:16:42 Cause then maybe you could flip it on and be like, no, no, no, just like a fun one. Whatever you're like, that's not Goofy, the one with the bill and he wears the sailor hat. Yeah. The spinach guy. Yeah, he's got the big mouse ears and the red shirt. I'm proud to announce that Goofy's sour balls are back
Starting point is 00:17:03 and better than ever. Oh, no kidding? Oh, baby, you can definitely get those. And I got them, and then my son Henry laughed at me because I got balls, like he's at an age where that's very good for him. And I was like, I don't care. I'm not gonna stand here and be judged.
Starting point is 00:17:19 These Sour Balls really tickle my fancy. I will say this. I have taken pictures with a lot of Goofies, because my kids make my father-in-law do his Goofy impression too Goofy, and then I take a picture of it, because it's good, and then I put the, and I have like t-shirts with pictures of my father-in-law
Starting point is 00:17:37 with Goofy on them. So I will say every Goofy is a pro. Every Goofy, here's what you can rest assured of whatever experience your friend had, it was not unpleasant. It was like that goofy made it very easy. And especially if they can tell you're a virgin, they will make it like.
Starting point is 00:17:53 So good for you. If they can tell that you haven't had sex at all, they're like, they know it somehow and then they are like so nice to you. The first time I went to Disney World, the first time I went to Disney World, and I was like, I shouldn't be here, I haven't fucked. And then Goofy came over to me, and he put his hair,
Starting point is 00:18:12 and guys, check this out, he talked. You never get this from these Disney bars walking around. But he talked. What did he say? He leaned in really close, and he was like, I know, he said, I know, it's an, oh no, it's hard. Me too, pal. And then I was like, what about Max would it? And immaculate conception.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Immaculate. And then he walked away, but I felt like really cared for. And then I felt like I could be at Disney World even though I hadn't had sexual. Max just birth fully formed. I can't believe you made it past the scanners, Griffin, to get in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Max just birth fully formed from a bowl of high dad soup. Just like, emerged. My high dad soup is... Hi, dad! Whoa! Yeah, at the end when he falls down the waterfall, and you actually, if you turn the volume up, you can hear him shout, But I haven't even fucked yet!
Starting point is 00:19:03 And then Max catches him and reels him up. And was like, what were you saying, dad? And he's like, nothing, Max. I know our visits are getting a bit fewer and further between these days, but I would like to go to the wizard's house. I mean, friends grow apart over time, Griffin. It's natural.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It doesn't mean he's out of your heart. Friends grow apart, websites redesign away all of their funniest stuff or close entirely. Like this stuff happens, guys. But this one is, it was sent in by Abby, thank you, and it is how to actually become Jason Bourne. Yes! Thank you! You don't have to wake up with amnesia
Starting point is 00:19:37 on an Italian fishing boat in the Mediterranean Sea while being pursued by assassins to become Jason Bourne. In fact, you may be happy to learn that we recommend taking the route that involves zero assassination attempts. Woo! I'm always afraid that I'm gonna read a WikiHow article and then it'll be like, kill.
Starting point is 00:19:52 And I'll be like, fuck, okay, shoot. All right, you're the boss. But it does, there were a lot of factors in there and the only one they negated was assassination attempts. Yeah, you do need to get in there. So that's the only one they negated was assassination attempts. Yeah, you do need to hear amnesia. Yeah, they do recommend being found in the Mediterranean Sea by fishing boat with amnesia.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Right, that part's easy enough. I do wonder if I'm not, if like, assassination is completely off the table, why am I learning to become Jason Bourne, right? For the other stuff, the other stuff he could do. He doesn't only assassinate people. Yeah, but if someone's like, if I'm on the phone and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:20:28 it's me, Justin, and I'm very tough, just like Jason Bourne now. Yeah. And they're like, I know you can't assassinate me. Yeah. That's off the table for you, right? Admit it. I'm not intimidating. Can I ask you guys a question?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Sure. A semantics question perhaps, but is the difference betwixt murder and assassination just like notoriety? I don't know. I think it's you're paid for it, right? Paid, paid work? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Anyways, I'll just tell this some day, I'm famous enough that when I am killed, it's assassination, I guess is that someday I'm famous enough that when I am killed, it's assassination, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Okay, how to become a real life Jason Bourne. The first few parts here are all physicality stuff, and I'm not gonna have to do that. Your regular cardio, whatever,
Starting point is 00:21:20 improve your strength by lifting weights, like sure, whatever. Man, if I could do irregular cardio, I'd be excited, you know? Come on, my desire to live longer hasn't done that, my desire to be Jason Bourne is certainly not gonna motivate that. Well, no, you can have the desire, right?
Starting point is 00:21:32 Like I don't do like regular intense cardio and I don't do like really heavy weights, I do some stuff in there. That stuff would probably make me feel so good if I did it enough that I wouldn't need a WikiHow article to teach me how to be Jason Bourne. If I was doing that stuff I'd be a fundamentally different person and that person would not be
Starting point is 00:21:51 on WikiHow learning how to be Jason Bourne. That's an excellent point. Choose a martial art. That's a really good point actually. One person who's never been on Wikipedia learning how to be Jason Bourne is Jason Bourne. No way. It's unfathomable.
Starting point is 00:22:02 No way. So choose a martial art to study and practice. I could do this from a purely, studious sort of research level and not like actually do it. Like I could watch a lot of YouTube videos about, Collie. Does it not mean the muscles though? Don't you need to get it in the muscle memory?
Starting point is 00:22:22 Yeah. Do the muscles need to know it? Cause that's the thing. I've seen the Jason Bourne movies a hundred times and I don't remember him ever having to stop to think about how to punch a guy. I don't even know that he remembers how to punch a guy when the movie starts.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Well, no, they put like a chip in his brain or whatever. That makes him punch like super hard. No, Griffin, that's the matrix. So learn a second language or more. This is good. Jason Bourne spoke German, French, Russian, Dutch, Spanish and Swedish. You don't have to speak all those, but picking up another language of your choice will give you that international man of mystery energy, Bourne Exudes. That would be kick-ass if in a Bourne movie he went to, you know, Paraguay
Starting point is 00:23:03 and then they started to speak to him and he was like, I'm sorry, like, I don't do that one. I don't do that one. He pulled out his phone and put in Google Translate, and he was like, type it. I only know Esperanto and English. Do you do Swedish? I'm so sorry. I can totally throw down in Swedish.
Starting point is 00:23:18 You could probably pull this off if you named a bunch of common ones that lots of people know, and then at the end, you put the one you actually know. So you learn one obscure one, and then you're like, yeah, I'm fluent in Spanish, French, Italian, whatever, and then Czechoslovakian. I don't know if there's a separate language.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You know, one of the smaller ones. You can always just say Esperanto. It's the best gag. So next time you're up on a language learning app, just you're becoming an assassin. Learn how to climb walls of repel. Hey, Duolingo, if you're listening, putting that is like, and why are you in trouble?
Starting point is 00:23:53 Oh, I like to travel. I don't know why you'd pick the one that has never advertised with us. I just don't know why you would pick the one that has never advertised. Well, I'm trying to create advertising. We burned the other bridges, Griffin. We haven't even built that one yet.
Starting point is 00:24:05 We didn't, we did a kick-ass job with those bridges, but the market changed and more famous people opened up podcasts, but you picked the one that we haven't done? How are we gonna get this? No, I support that though, because in a sense, what Travis is saying is like, the other ones have proven that they're thirsty for it.
Starting point is 00:24:18 You know what I mean? Like the other ones have proven that they will pay for it. Right, yeah. And Duolingo won't, so that's fine. That's fine, guys. And they have a funny owl thing. We're not afraid to talk shop. Right, yeah. And Duolingo won't. So that's fine. That's fine, guys. And they have a funny owl thing. We're not afraid to talk shop in here, guys. We're not afraid to let you in on the process.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Our life is the podcast. Our life is the podcast. Learn how to climb walls or rappel. Bourne was a master climber. While we can't recommend you start scaling fire escapes and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, we can definitely suggest joining a local rock climbing gym. Sure.
Starting point is 00:24:47 That's different from climbing walls though, isn't it? Cause when you say climbing walls, I'm picturing a Spider-Man type. You're saying climbable things. Yeah, you don't get- Well, we build from that. Right? Sure. But I'm saying fire escapes ladders.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I don't need to learn to do that. No, you can't use suction cups. You can't use suction cups when you're summiting. Like they don't stick to the rocks and stuff. But Borne uses suction cups a lot. I think if I went through all the trouble to train my body and learn a martial art and become an, and learn five languages and become an incredible spy,
Starting point is 00:25:18 I would never try to go down the side of a building because I could fall and die. And then what was all of that work for? Yeah. It does, it is, was all of that work for? Yeah. It does, it is, a lot of these are irritating a little bit because it's like, well, we did tell you to get in great physical shape first. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Okay. Yeah, sure. If I, in this alternate world where I got super fit, I bet learning to climb like a rock wall would be very attainable for me. Yeah. I do think that. If there was an article about how to be Batman
Starting point is 00:25:44 and the first step was have billionaire parents. Sure, sure. Every step after that is like, you know what helps with that. But again, if I had a billion dollars, I would not be on WikiHow learning how to become Jason Bourne. I simply would not. You say that, Griffin,
Starting point is 00:25:59 but billionaires get up to some weird shit in their free time. No, but I would be getting like, you know, micro, micro machines in my blood. That gives me power. Power machines. Micro, micro, micro machines. Micro, micro, just these big fucking monster trucks driving around my veins, making me climb walls real good.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Yeah. And speak Spanish. You could pay Matt Damon to train you to be J.J. Yeah, for a billion dollars, yeah, for sure. I can make them name the next Jason Bourne movie, Griffin McElroy Returns, and then I would be it by default. Sharpen your situational awareness and memory recall. This would be cool.
Starting point is 00:26:32 I just started with this one. Honestly, I could use the little of this right now. If I could aug my brain like that, again, same thing applies, wouldn't be here. Shouldn't I sharpen my memory recall before I start taking on these additional languages? Like if there is a path to that, I should definitely sharpen that tool set
Starting point is 00:26:50 before I do the language thing. Is there a hyperlink there possibly to a Wikipedia about how to stop having ADHD? Yeah. That could be very useful to me. There's like five apps. Click the monkey to learn how to stop having ADHD. The next one, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Yeah, PS, your ADHD is 100% what brought you to this article in the first place. You have a 15 minute lunch break, Jason. I'm gonna text you guys the image for this next one. The next one is get into parkour and learn how to run with style. And I don't know if you guys are seeing this, but the image that they've chosen shows a red-haired man
Starting point is 00:27:27 who has launched himself forwards, head first, legs up in the sky, a Kimbo, Peter Pan style, down a flight of stairs. There is no reality in which this illustrated gentleman lands this trick. He is about to eat shit. He's about to lose a lot of good teeth. I've also zoomed in on this man's face and it very clearly reads as to eat shit. He's about to lose a lot of good teeth. I've also zoomed in on this man's face
Starting point is 00:27:46 and it very clearly reads as, oh shit. Oh shit, why did I jump like this, face down, ass up? That's the way I like to die on these stairs. Dumb ass. Parkour is also really intense cardio exercise so it gets two birds with one stone. Thanks, article. Thanks for the life hacks of this discipline you made up.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Dress in unprovocative clothing with dark colors. Already pretty much doing that, I will say. No graphic tease on Jason Bourne. Some of my wardrobe may have to go. But keep your hair short but decidedly un-military. Okay, okay. Not sure why. I don't see why that makes me more of a Jason Bourne,
Starting point is 00:28:24 I guess, sure, all right. I like that description though, like you're telling me that when I watched the first, the Jason Bourne Prime, that I am to look at him and think, yeah, but it's not a military haircut. No, there's no way, like there's no debate, that's not a military haircut. I always-
Starting point is 00:28:44 Well, that would also also give him too many clues to the born identity. Correct. Oh, okay. That's the Doctor Army Man. I'm clearly some sort of army man. Look at my hair. Look at that!
Starting point is 00:28:55 You're smart. I must be a Doctor Army Man, can you- My hair is too long for an army man, so I'm clearly not an army man. No, you can see the shave the word army in the back of my head. It's obvious. Hey, is this the library?
Starting point is 00:29:06 Have I ever worked there? I feel like I'm a library man maybe. Nope, oh shit, I gotta jump up this building. Do you know about any pet stores? I also, I always have a moment of panic anytime I go to get a haircut and they ask me like, what do you want? Now I have something that I could say,
Starting point is 00:29:23 just like have it loaded in the chamber. I want it short but decidedly un-military, and I think I might get exactly what I need. Obtain at least a passing interest in firearms. I do like how Wikihow has couched this. Wikihow recognizes it can't say get gun crazy. It can't say that sort of, you know, responsibly. But at least a passing interest in firearms.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Griffin, I thought I knew where that statement was gonna go, because one of the defining features to me is Jason Bourne's collection of passports. But then it also occurred to me that probably WikiHow for many reasons can't be like, get yourself a bunch of counterfeit passports. That's a very, very good point, Travis. Reading the next goddamn point of this WikiHow, get another passport.
Starting point is 00:30:14 If you don't already have a passport for the country you live in, start by getting your passport. That's actually good. Thank you so much for that. Then if you have the time, money, and effort, find another country to try and establish residency. If you have relatives living abroad, look into the residency requirements there. You can normally get a passport
Starting point is 00:30:29 if you have family already living there. You can buy your way into a passport in several countries. Some countries offer very easy routes to citizenship. They're not saying, Travis, forge fake documents in this, I would say, wild world that we live in. They are saying, responsibly become residents of many, many nations. Wouldn't it have been amazing if Jason Bourne
Starting point is 00:30:54 had opened his safety security box or whatever and started flipping through 20 passports that all said, Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne. And he was like, oh, I guess I'm... Ah, perfect. And then a letter from his uncle in Paraguay that's like, here's the passport, you're a citizen now. I love you, Jason.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Guten Tag, it's been Jason Bourne. Come visit me anytime, Jason Bourne. Guten Tag, Fraulein, it's me, German man Jason Bourne. Oh, god damn it. Look, he's put stickers all over his passport pages. There's no way we can read these numbers. Focus on your mission and always have a goal. This is where the wheels come off a lot for me,
Starting point is 00:31:35 is that now it's like, okay, now you're Jason Bourne. Here's what you're gonna do with it. And they don't have a great answer because they also can't say, you know, kill your fellow super soldiers. Well, at that point, it's coming from your contact to the CIA, right? Because I assume that when you get recruited to the CIA to join the BORN program, you're handed, I guess, a card with this WikiHow URL written on it and they're like, let us
Starting point is 00:32:04 know when you're done reading it, and then we'll give you an assignment. Yeah, that is a good point. A lot of these are just kind of productivity hacks. Focus on your mission and always have a goal, sure. Maintain a cool, calm demeanor at all times. I see Jason a little hyphy. Like, he does get, when he's like trying to kill a guy
Starting point is 00:32:21 with a rocket launcher, he's, I don't know how chill Jason Bourne is. That's why Griffin, at the end of every Jason Bourne movie, he sits down with his journal and writes, I like had another slip up today. Got mad again, gotta keep working on it. The post credit sequence. Make eye contact and speak with confidence
Starting point is 00:32:37 and do everything with conviction and self-assuredness. Oh cool. That's cool, yeah. I can definitely just flip that switch, but also I wanna be in that job interview where they're like, you're the perfect candidate. Honestly, we have never interviewed anybody with this much conviction and self-assuredness.
Starting point is 00:32:51 You made eye contact the whole time, you speak with confidence, you're quintalingual. You have incredible skills and you're so focused. What's your secret? And they say, well, model my whole life on this one Wikihaw article about becoming Jason Borg. Anyways, I'd love to work here at Best Buy. I would love to get this job at Best Buy. There's one thing that they did get kind of nasty on.
Starting point is 00:33:14 This is the last point in the article. Okay. Be prepared for geopolitical events or disasters. So Wikihaw's leaving a little bit of sunlight in the room, a little bit of oxygen for a chance. It suggests, and all that other stuff about kicking ass So, Wiki, I was leaving a little bit of sunlight in the room, a little bit of oxygen for a chance. It suggests, and all that other stuff about kicking ass and jumping up buildings and all that spy shit.
Starting point is 00:33:31 You might, there might be a thing that happens. You never know. Keep your eyes peeled. But I will also say that this is the equivalent of like going to a professional sporting event and hoping that someone on the field is gonna notice you in the stands and be like, this guy, because I'm pretty sure,
Starting point is 00:33:50 even if I, as an amateur civilian, trained myself to be a Pete Jason Bourne type, and then there was geopolitical unrest, if a CAI agent saw me like walking around or some kind of government official, they wouldn't be like, hey, you look like saw me like walking around or some kind of government official, they wouldn't be like, hey, you look like you could be a Jason Bourne.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Come over here, I got a mission for you. I mean, that's his whole shit. I don't think that's how it works. That's his whole shit though. No, Griffin, he was recruited by a government agency and trained by them. I guess so. We're splitting hairs pretty hard here.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yeah, I wanna call foul on this whole article Griffin if I could. Sure, yeah. Wait, you're trying to disprove a WikiHow article? Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna try, I think I can do it pretty authoritatively if we look at the Bourne franchise, right? We have the Bourne identity, the Bourne supremacy,
Starting point is 00:34:36 the Bourne ultimatum, that's Matt Damon's triptych. Matt Damon's trilogy. Those are the ones with Jason Bourne in them. Yeah, those are the Jason Bourne ones, right? That's my mnemonic device. The next movie is called The Bourne Legacy, starring Jeremy Renner. Yeah, Matt is not appearing. Is he Jason Bourne?
Starting point is 00:34:51 No. No. He's Jason Reborn. Jason Reborn. The tagline of this film is, there was never just one. Yeah. And then the next movie is called
Starting point is 00:35:01 Jason Bourne, starring Matt Damon. Huh. And Jeremy Renner's not in it, cause there was just the one Jason Bourne. What I'm saying is, the movies that are about Jason Bourne could not make another Jason Bourne plausibly. No. They desperately would love to get the much cheaper Jeremy Renner.
Starting point is 00:35:18 They wanted to have a whole Bourne-iverse, but it's simply- Yeah, they tried. The interest isn't there. Listen. The interest isn't there. Listen- The interest isn't there. They can't make another Jason Bourne. There's just the one. And I also feel like, seeing that the last Bourne movie, Jason Bourne, was filmed in 2016,
Starting point is 00:35:32 I do have the strangest sense of feeling, like I didn't appreciate the Bourne movies when they were coming out a little bit. Didn't even know that there was one in 2016. I feel bad. I know, right? It feels like set- Shit.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Don't it always seem- If I could go back in time to when they were making the poster for the Bourne legacy, I would have pitched the tagline, there was never a Jason Bourne. Right? Yeah, yeah, that's cool. One of the first movie of the Bourne legacy
Starting point is 00:35:55 is Jeremy Redder waking up like, what? It's him watching the Bourne identity and going, I'm gonna be just like that. He turns off the movie of the Bourne, the third Bourne movie, like, what a great film. I wish I could do that. And then when they made the new Jason Bourne movie
Starting point is 00:36:12 after that one in 2016, the tagline was, oh shit, it's real? The first scene is Matt Damon turning off the end of the Bourne legacy. Like, I can't believe they got it so wrong. Anyway, back to work. Let's take a quick break. We're gonna go to the buddy's end.
Starting point is 00:36:29 We'll be back right after this. ["It's Better With You"] Guys, I've got another brilliant, like, million dollar website idea. Another one. Yeah, but I don't know how to get started. I don't, I have no idea where to get started. I just have the kernel, the whisper. What you need is a garden.
Starting point is 00:37:00 You need an idea garden where that can take purchase. Yeah. Where it can grow and flourish. And Squarespace is a way to do it.

Starting point is 00:40:42 Squad. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. Welcome to Munch Squad, this podcast is an independent buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh. Welcome to Munch Squad's podcast. We're then in the podcast, profiling the latest, greatest, and brand eating. Guys, how do you, be real with me, how do you feel about Glen Powell? Where you at?
Starting point is 00:40:53 You know, Justin, if I'm being completely honest, I feel an absence of feeling about Glen Powell. Had to Google him, had to Google him just now. Sorry, everyone. That's what Glen Powell is counting on. And then Griffin, after you Googled him, did you have the realization that this guy's been in like a lot of movies, but he doesn't really stick in the brain.
Starting point is 00:41:12 For a long time, Justin, I thought Glenn Powell had been the guy that played the younger brother in the TV show Titus with Christopher Titus. But I think that was a different guy who has similar features, but is a different human being to Glenn Powell. Am I- Yes, that is a separate person.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Okay. Yeah, I don't think I've seen any of these flicks, but I thought I got him confused with Glenn Beck for a second, and then I thought, this is an audacious question to ask us to start out the Munch Squad segment, is how do you feel about Glenn Beck? So Glenn Powell is launching a new line of sauces. Of what?
Starting point is 00:41:52 Glenn Powell is launching a new line of sauces. I didn't realize it was a tongue twister until I started saying it. Glenn Powell is launching a new line of sauces. I think that's iambic pentameter. Yeah, Glenn Powell is launching a new line of sauces. I think that's iambic pentameter. Yeah, Glen Powell is launching a new line of sauces called Smash Kitchen. And this guys, the sky was dark at the launch
Starting point is 00:42:13 of Smash Kitchen because the stars were all out to celebrate Glen Powell's new line of sauces. Now, before I get into the party. Wait, is this in conjunction with somebody or just Glen German had an idea for a sauce thing? Yes, cool sauce. So everyone's favorite actor, Glenn Powell, that everybody knows and loves about, he realized this.
Starting point is 00:42:34 American families and the pantries where their meals begin deserve better. Too many go-to staples are packed with unnecessary additives, artificial nonsense, and things no one can pronounce. With that realization, Powell assembled a team of seasoned founders who set out to fix that,
Starting point is 00:42:50 creating a line of organic, non-GMO pantry essentials that bring wholesome, crave-worthy flavors without the junk. Oh, okay. The new line is exclusive, available now only at Walmart. Awesome, dude. I've been sweating this stuff big time lately. Yeah, it's been a big real problem.
Starting point is 00:43:08 All the GMO stuff and all the clean eating and everything is a real thing for Glenn. Real concern for Glenn. Now they only have GPOs. Glenn Powell Organizing. I've put together a full report here. Glenn did talk to Martha Stewart about this. Said, being out in LA, I think I just became
Starting point is 00:43:29 a little bit more aware of what was in my food. Fuck off in the biggest way possible. Actually, Glenn Powell, go eat a huge pile of shit. Eat all the shit you can see in the whole world. Especially when you're cooking and entertaining people. You wanna give them the best. Actually, fuck off the fuck off Glenn you and you and tell you what you and Katy Perry get the sauce powered rocket blast off right to fuck who cares
Starting point is 00:43:53 I guess uh Living in LA I uh Pay a little bit more What does that have to do with anything? As an LA guy As an LA guy I Think a lot about brain stuff Do with anything. As an LA guy. You tell me. As an LA guy. I think a lot about brain stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Growing up around epic barbecue feasts at our family ranch in Texas, food was always an expression of love, said Glenn Powell, co-founder of smash kitchen and co-star twisters. That's my editorializing, but he was in that believe it or not. Through fitness, I became more aware and educated on better for you food. Oh cool. So basically what Glenn is saying is
Starting point is 00:44:33 because he has the time and money to pay a personal trainer, he now knows what to put in your kitchen. And because of his sort of geographic location, he knows a little bit more about food than you do. I'm reading between the lines here and I think what Glenn Powell is trying to say is, I started working with a guy who lives in LA who told me what I should and shouldn't be eating.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Right, right. I got a brand deal for sauces. It was clear to me we needed to make a clean condiment brand. No second guessing, just great flavors that connect us to the moments we love. Second guess, Glen. Glen, you're creating food for people.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Think twice, please, Glen. You should do, not just like, put that in it. Wait, but what, why do you mean, wait, Glen, no. And, put this root in the sauce. What is the root, Glen? Lots of sand. I don't know, sand just popped in my head. Sand, what sand is it?
Starting point is 00:45:24 Hey guys, I got a live report. I wanna talk more about this, but I got a live report coming from the party. So I just wanna, we're gonna interview some of the, we already talked to Glenn. If you guys could, I've got Leo over here at the sauce launch party. Leonardo DiCaprio came to Glenn Powell's sauce launch party.
Starting point is 00:45:43 So here's an interesting thing. Apparently, Glenn Powell knows that Leonardo DiCaprio came to Glen Powell's sauce launch party. So here's an interesting thing. Apparently, Glen Powell knows that Leonardo DiCaprio killed somebody and hit their body, because I can't think of any other reason Leonardo DiCaprio would be at Glen Powell's sauce party. But he's there. He doesn't do a ton of inventory. And then there's a gentleman behind the two of them
Starting point is 00:45:56 who is unnamed, but does seem to be really enjoying. Hold on. So we got Leonardo DiCaprio was there. Aaron Paul came to this Walmart sauce launch party. And here's this Josh Duhamel hiding his entire- That's not who that is. Hiding his face. That could be anyone.
Starting point is 00:46:16 I love the sauce. Good job, Glenn. I'm Josh Duhamel. Sorry, what was my name? Josh Duhamel. Everyone's posing at the sauce launch party. Everyone loves the sauce. Here's Josh Duamel, he's fixing his hat.
Starting point is 00:46:32 That's the real Josh Duamel. That's the real Josh Duamel. And yes, look guys, he's even, yeah, Angela from the office came to this sauce launch party. Hell yeah. She played cornhole. You're fucking kidding me. Anthony Ramos was there.
Starting point is 00:46:46 What a star-studded event. And get this, his parents came to his party. Oh, that's nice. I like that. Glenn Palisades. The family ranch in Texas. Let's talk about some of the flavors. You got organic hot honey ketchup,
Starting point is 00:46:59 organic spicy mayonnaise, and organic hot honey BBQ sauce. Now remember, when you see organic, what that means is nothing. Smash Kitchen is all about balance. Real food made better without sacrificing flavor. That's actually good to hear because I don't wanna buy printed out pictures of food.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I want real food, thank you very much. Real stuff. I can't eat a picture of ketchup. Unless it's a stamp. Yeah, that's true. So that's Samir Mehta, who is co-founder and CEO of Smash Kitchen. We weren't trying to reinvent ketchup or mustard.
Starting point is 00:47:30 We just wanted them to taste the way they should using high quality organic ingredients. Now I will draw your attention to the paragraph just before in this same press release, which reads, Smash Kitchen reimagines classics like ketchup, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, and barbecue sauce. So they are both re-imagining it, but not reinventing it. I do like once again, this is what I'm looking for
Starting point is 00:47:51 in a thing, because it should taste the way it should. If I eat ketchup and it tastes like mustard, I'm perplexed if not off put. Condiments are just the beginning, said Sean Cain, the co-founder and president of Smash Kitchen. Our vision is to transform the entire pantry, bringing delicious, organic options to every shelf, one category at a time.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Yes, Sean Kane, you have seen into me, the deepest heart of the American consumer, who wants nothing more than shelves and shelves lined with Glenn Powell's face. Please try my milk, try Glenn Powell's milk, and try my pickles. And listen, I'll tell you. Powell pickles.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Thank you. Smash Kitchens really got their finger on the pulse if they make sure that each of these things cost at least a dollar more than the store brand counterpart that contains basically the exact same thing. They don't just have their finger on the pulse, they have their finger on the pulse.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Lauren Paul and Aaron Paul were there. I love this part. We don't know that Glen put a finger on these two. I mean, it's true. You know Glenn. I don't like that. Let's not say things about Glenn Powell, we can't back up. Like he's a huge asshole peddling anti-science nonsense.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I don't want a company to decide what I think ketchup should taste like. I feel like that decision has been made for me by the way the ketchup from all these companies taste. If I get some salty tomatoey water out of Glen Powell's bottle, that's not, you can't say that's, sorry guys, the other stuff is bullshit. This is that real ketchup.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Nothing but squished tomato, water, and some salt. They pretty much figured that out to the point when I go to a restaurant and they have like in-house made ketchup, and some salt. They pretty much figured that out to the point when I go to a restaurant and they have like in-house made ketchup, and I'm like, what were you doing? Just get, just there's a bottle and it has like a tomato and some leaves on it and it says ketchup.
