Episode Date: June 16, 2025

A sign has come from above in the form of mysterious lawn scooters, so we got the ZOOMIES! We’re running around to Ghostbust some bugs, spin some spin-offs, and lift some dads, all fueled by taco chicken nuggets.Suggested talking points: Raspberry City, Sneaky Grinders, Maximum Frasier, Their Muscles are Dough, Absence is Noted and SuspiciousTransgender Law Center: https://transgenderlawcenter.org/

The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? One, two, three, four! It's the start of something beautiful A small acquaintance has blossomed It's ripened into a precious friendship I could've never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach

My life, it feels like My life, ah ah ah It's better, it's better with you My life, ah ah ah It's better, it's better with you This is true, ah ah ah It's better, it's better with two My life, ah ah ah It's better, it's better with two. But right on, it's better with you.

Hello everybody, welcome to My Brother, My Brother, and Me, an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, your middle-est brother, Travis Vroom Vroom McElroy. What's up, Trav Nation? This is Griffin McRoy, and I'm sorry dudes, but I gotta jet. Oh, wait, you have to jet? Sorry dudes, sorry dudes, no can do today. Gotta zoom.

You think you were ready, like we have this scheduled. Yeah, I'm ready to fucking zoom. Where are you going? Because the road's calling, shush, the road's calling me, and I need to go zoom, because this morning I woke up you guys and I looked out my window in my front yard.

Was not much of a yard but I looked out on the sidewalk in front of my house. Someone had left two electric scooters there for me. Are you kidding? Two electric scooters delivered like a stork or an angel did it, and said, God wants you to zoom, and left me, not one, two electric scooters for me.

Curving hat, like in what state? In what state, sorry, in what state? Not one, not a state. It's the District of Columbia. It's not a state, it's the District of Columbia. We're pretty fucking sore about it. Kind of a big, big wall to get right into that one. There's that one.

What state? I mean, I'm not an electric scooter guy. God wants me to be one because he put two beautiful fucking grinders on my doorstep this morning. They look fully ready to fuck. Like they look good to go. So you busted out the quiver that you have for the second one, right?

So that as you ride the first one, charge, so that as you ride the first one, charge the pleats, you whip that second one off your back. And you can hop from one to the other while you're on the highway, because these motherfuckers look street legal and ready to go. They got NAZ? What's that?

They got NAZ? I don't, Travis, I don't know anything about electric scooters. You keep asking questions about like the, the gizmos and gadgets. Do they have a turbo boost? Are they still there? Are they still? Yeah, man, I don't know.

I saw them fucking 10 minutes ago. Now you're gonna make me paranoid that I have to check periodically that somebody's not gonna scoot me. Bring them inside, Griffin. Are you a little bit worried, Griffin, about the fact that someone drove, not one someone, two someone.

Yeah, oh gang. Drove to where you live and then were like, this is the place and then left. Looks like we'll stop right here. Our journey ends here at Griffin McElroy's house. Yeah, Jews, the game's afoot. I am, I've been keeping my eyes peeled all morning for these fucking sneaky grinders

who have rolled up to my house. Left me a beautiful gift. I can't wait to zoom on these things. Yeah, but it is like where is, Where are, but like, Where are they? For real though, where are you guys? Where are you guys? Cause there's two of you.

And there's one of him and you knew that didn't you? You knew that going in that there's one of him and two of you. They did know. It might be a Pennywise thing. Oh, they are a little bit close to a little sewer, whatever you call that. I think that renting a scooter rather than buying your own is quite Pennywise, Trev. Oh, that's cool, man. But I don't know what you mean by Brent.

They never talk about that in the It storyline of how frugal he is. Like, that's not his real name. His real name is Tony. But everybody calls him Pennywise because he's so good with money. And he eats kids or whatever. His real name's Tony, but everybody calls him Pennywise because he's so good with money. And he eats kids or whatever. That, like, yeah, obviously that's an overwhelming feature. Hey listen, take it from Jonathan Swift. That's a perfectly logical reaction to economic pressures. You know what I mean?

There we go, thank you. It's his social commentary he's doing. How more Pennywise can you be? How thrifty can you get, you know? Yeah, sure, sure. So I gotta fucking zoom, guys, I'm not kidding. I don't got a show in me today when I know all the incredible fucking road adventures

waiting for me out there. Well, do you wanna, we can pause the recording, Griffin. You can go have like a two hour sojourn on your electric scooter and then come back and report to us what it was like. Okay, yeah, let's take a quick two hour break. And then we'll pick it back up. Oh fuck you guys!

Griffin, Griffin, Griffin! Oh no, what happened? Oh fuck you guys, fuck! I fell down 20 times and I fucked up my legs. No, oh man. Both of them, fuck. I've got road rash much? I look like Raspberry City over here.

Fuck guys, those things. And get this, you're gonna pay for them on your fucking phone? Crazy. And I found the two guys, they stabbed me a little bit. No! It's been a bad two hours. I'm glad we weren't recording all that.

Griffin, give me their location and I will destroy the assailants. Yeah, during the two hours Justin got that Robocop upgrade that he's been talking about. Damn. Ready to go, punks? Yeah. Ready to zoom. You bullied my brother off his scooter while I bullied your dick off your balls.

I did try putting one foot on each scooter and then blasting and it tore my wiener and butt apart into two. Yeah. There's a Yiddish expression of you can't ride a horse, two horses with one behind, one fanny. And it turns out that that's true for scooters and that the penalty is your penis and butt gets torn right in half. I got into a habit of, for scooters and that the penalty is your pizza and blanket

torn right in half. I got into a habit of pre-show and post-show when we would be a little bit of a distance from the venue and our hotel of like grabbing one of those rental scooters and zipping on down to the venue. Grinding down to the venue or Grinding home from the venue in the dark. Yeah, and I had to get honest with myself at a certain point that

When I was zooming in the dark past people who had just come to my podcast Yeah, it was the coolest area here in the world. I had to accept that some part of me is trying to have the funniest death possible. Sure, sure. Some part of me is over the fact that this dipshit, on a stooge, or after his podcast, in front of people who had just listened to his podcast, like, whew. I mean, you don't want it.

I don't want it. No. Not at all. Scared of it. Huge scared. We are three professional comedian entertainers, and I think that if, once God forbid, I don't want it! No. Not at all. Scared of it. Huge scared. We are three professional comedian entertainers and I think that if, once God forbid we pass, the question, how'd he go, was followed with, you're never gonna fucking believe this. You're gonna think I'm fucking with you right now. That's the best, best case scenario.

Remember when they released The Whopper 3 in 2060? Well, he choked to death on that. You can believe he choked to death. I like that actually. 26th season. He was singing the Munch Squad theme song while chewing on the Whopper 3. Right.

Wait, wait, Munch Squad, he stopped doing that podcast 30 years ago. Yeah. No, he did it. They just stopped recording it. He kept doing just that. He never stopped. Munch Squad continued in perpetuity.

He was eating the cyber Whopper, got him. Have you, Trav, did you get down there to try all the How to Train Your Dragon meals yet? Did you enjoy those? No, because it's not How to Eat Your Dragon, Justin. Okay, interesting. It should be. Nope, Justin, I was too busy last weekend

to eat the How to Train Your Dragon things because I had to watch, my children aren't dance-less and they're wonderful and talented and great. And they were in two separate sessions of recitals. Hey, Trav, so's Glenn Powell, but you don't hear me bragging about it. You know what I mean? You had to go watch Dan Powell,

Glenn Powell's dance recital? Sorry, Trav, you were trying to counter burn me, but you fell on your own feet. No, I did. But I had to let the burn rest though. I was at Dancer's Idols basically from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Last weekend.

Oh, man. There were breaks in between, but what am I gonna do with that time? But it's cool because the second dancer side, I don't ended with pre-K through first grade hip hop class of 30 kids. And it was a bomb to my soul, Justin. It made it all worth it. These kids, uh, they've turned, they're striving to dance.

And I loved it so much, Justin. Oh God, it was good. There is nothing I dislike more than a dancer side. Oh God, it was good. Yeah, there is nothing I dislike more than a dance recital. Man, that is weaponized art. You're holding people prisoner to do art at them. That's cool. It's rough. Dance recitals are rough.

If my kid was on stage the whole time, I'd love it. My kid's on stage three minutes out of 60. It's exhausting to watch other people's kids do dance, like I was so tired by the end of it. My kids don't even do dance, but I could fix dance recitals real quick, you ready? Yeah. Now it's competitive.

Yes. Now it's competitive, now it's how you think you can dance now, kids, with the stars. And the different classes, hip hop, dance crew, kindergartners goes up against the fifth grade ballet team. Obviously they're gonna get fucking rocked. But it's competitive. It's seated though, right?

It is seated for us, yeah, we are seated. And then at the end, they come out and they're like, all right, kids, come out, everyone wins. And everyone gets a medal that said, you're a winner, you did it. And then as soon as the kids get off the end, they come out and they're like, all right, kids, come out, everyone wins. And everyone gets like a medal that said like, you're a winner, you did it. And then as soon as the kids got off the stage, the adults are like, okay, for real, now it's time to announce the winners

because you gotta know whose kids rocked whose kids had competitive dance in there. I do like to, when I watch a dancer's idol, I'll build storylines in my head of like behind the scenes drama, where I'm trying to guess which of them don't get along with each other, which one's like the teacher's favorite, which one's the one that the teacher's

like, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna put you over here. And that kind of keeps me entertained a little bit behind, you know, like making a behind the scenes drama. I will say also the dance recitals are one of the few places that I do get exposed to new music, which I appreciate. That's a shame. It's so hard to discover new music these days though. Such a huge,

huge possibility. Just whipping your phone out to Shazam. Hey, Shazam this. I'm trying to get it. Started over, I didn't Shazam it in time. Why are you only doing a mashup of it? I can't Shazam half a mashup, Darlene. Is this Shawn Mendes?

I'm gonna report to the RCAA, Charlene. Shawn Mendes ex debarge? You're crazy for this one, Belinda. How about we do some advice? I'm an entomologist, so I'm comfortable around insects and other creepy crawlies. It's in areas where there's a bug inside. I'm more than happy to be the go-to person who scoops up the critter and humanely relocates them

It feels good to alleviate a potentially stressful situation for human and bug alike. I've just moved into a new neighborhood I'm thinking about offering my bud catching services to my neighbors What's a good way to advertise my willingness and enthusiasm for performing these sorts of one-off insect rescue missions. That's from Critter Ketcher in North Carolina. That's wild. I mean, you know it's wild. You know it's wild, right? We don't have to dwell on the wildness, I think.

I think, okay, it's wild, but I'm gonna nail down why it's wild, because there aren't journeymen, like insect jobs. because there aren't journeymen, like, you know, insect jobs, what's the word I'm gonna, exterminators, right? There's no mid point. So either they're gonna call you constantly for shit, because there's bugs everywhere,

or no one's gonna contact you about this and you're just throwing yourself out. We know, we said at the beginning. We just said it was wild, like, that covered all that. I know, we said at the beginning. We just said it was wild. Like that covered it. We covered all that. Just tell someone it's wild. If they wrote the question in,

they don't have the context for why it's wild. Yeah, they do, because they sent it to us, the wild boys. That's true, that's the important idea. We have to assume better of our dear, sweet listeners that when they send in a scenario like this, they know how fucked up and twisted it is. That's true. To have a bespoke, a la carte, listeners that when they send in a scenario like this, they know how fucked up and twisted it is. To have a bespoke a la carte,

bug relocation service offered to your neighbors is simply not a thing. Now, can we play with that? Sure, we can have fun with that. Can we willingly eat these sins so they're not exposed to reality? Of course, yeah. Get them out of your noodle, put them here.

You need a barter system. What's the thing you don't wanna do around your house? Yeah. That when someone calls you and they're like, yeah, got another moth in here or whatever, and you're like, cool, I need to turn this hand on, I don't wanna do that, or whatever. What's the thing, what's the exchange rate

for singular bug relocation? Here's what I would offer. Because I don't mind bug relocation. Bugs don't stress me out. So I could do this gig. What I would tell people is, I will come to your home and remove the bug. But when I come to your home, I will have in my possession,

something that will then be yours. Oh cool. So this will, this will no longer be my possession, it will be your possession. Yeah. And it's your thing to deal with now. And it's your- Are there any restrictions on that?

Cause that's such a fucking bum deal for me, the person with the bug. Physical lifting, physically hefted. It has to be physically lifted. Single hand. One hand, dude, because you're bigger, you're bigger, you're stronger. How about this size of number of legs? Number of legs of bugs. This is what I'm saying. There has to be physically lifted. Single hand. One hand, dude, because you're bigger. How about this size of, number of legs, number of legs of bugs.

This is what I'm saying. There has to be an exchange rate, Travis. Cause if I ask you, oh, there's an ant on my counter and you come get it and you bring me a broken microwave. But don't, but that's, you're bringing capitalism into it, Travis. No, I'm bringing ordering and exchange rate. Every bug is the exact same amount of effort

to get rid of unless you've got one of the craftier ones. That's not true. And you know it. A stink bug is so fucking easy to get. A bee? I individually, I was saying you're being called for individual bugs. There's no one bug that's harder to get than another bug.

There's a wasp in my house versus a stink bug, Justin. You're telling me that I get the same piece of shit from your house? A very fast fly. Very quick sidebar on Wasps. Yesterday I was unrolling a Sunbrella, you know, yes? Yeah. Unrolling it and a Wasp comes out of nowhere and stings me.

And I get instantly like very angry but a little nostalgic like, oh man, look at me an outdoor kid. But then I forget that part and just get really, really in a lot of pain, a great deal of pain. Yeah, yeah. And then I'm that part and just get really really in a lot of pain a great deal of pain Yeah, and then I'm getting angrier too because I really want to roll this umbrella up and I'm thinking about how small this guy Is and how big I am. Yeah, I go up there and I Unrolled the start to unroll the umbrella and when I do that you guys aren't gonna believe it

I thought these guys could only do that trick once, but I think that's bees, because this dude comes back for a second helping. He gets a second dish of juicer. Justin, could it be, rarely is a wasp a loner, right? A wasp, rarely do you see a wasp who's like, I'm striking out on my own. Yeah.

And perhaps this wasp was rolling like nine deep, 10 deep, and coming for you. And it was the first wasp's lover. Oh! Entirely possible. I once- Well, he stung me a second fucking time, and my kids started laughing at me

because I was crying a little bit. Like, not even- Ha ha! When you get stung by a bug, or shit on by a bird, or anything like that, isn't there a little bit of a part of you that gets excited like, I got a story for later? Always, man. Not in this moment and maybe not with Wasp.

Maybe I never got stung by Wasp before, but I felt nauseous and sad. I felt sad about it. It hurt on my hand so bad and there was a bump. Oh man. The bump scared me too. He stunned me twice and I knew where he was. The second time I knew exactly where he was.

You look at that bump, you think is a part of it still in there? That's what I think and it freaks me the fuck out. I know where all of it is, it's in my vacuum. Nice. Yeah. Whoa. You got him? Yeah man, I snaked him right out of the air.

You ghost busted him. And then you released him some, you released him. I lured him in for a third bite, and when he came out for a third taste. Put some salt on your skin, you're like, what's up? I guess humanity still has a couple tricks left in it. You know what I mean? Vacuum?

Vacuum is my non-offensive, it's my non-lethal bug relocation service that I offered to bugs. Yes, this was the service I provided this gentleman. He had to get away from the kids. It's like a, it's a small dust buster, and then there's a trigger on it's a small dust buster and then there's a trigger on it that flips the tank open

to just launch whatever bug out that you are done with and then you job done. And then if they're too hard to catch with that, or if they're real bastards about it, then I do have a bug assault launcher. And that's if they, if they can't get, if they don't want to get revacuumed, sucked up and they threaten me and my, my, threatened me and my house or my kids.

So the vacuum is a warning? The vacuum is the first wave of what we offer here at my house. If a wasp gets in the house and he doesn't wanna get vacuumed up, sorry pal, you're gonna catch the smoke. I also do not extend any protection to locusts or cicadas. And I'll tell you why. Right now, we're in a plague.

Yeah. And plagues don't count. Dot, my five-year-old who has the soul of like a 90-year-old trapped in them, looked at me the other day, just randomly. We're like sitting on the couch and she goes, probably gonna be a lot of cicadas this year. It's another hot one.

Damn, dude. What? What the fuck? I was like, okay, cool. I don't know if that's connected in any way. I don't know if those two things are related to each other, but she said it with such confidence. She said it like an old man saying, gonna rain today, my knee's acting up.

It got me so deep. Hey, she's got the soul of an old man that made up a bunch of bullshit. Yeah, it got me so deep. Hey, she's got the soul of an old man that made up a bunch of bullshit. Yeah, it got me so deep. Our Wobby's back, because he made up a bunch of shit too. I see Wobby in your daughter's eyes, Travis. Our step great-grandfathers. Our step great-

I mean, I look in your daughter's eyes, it's like looking into the eyes of our step great-grandfather. Who was a no-way blood related to us once. Well. I fucking hope not. Listen, I think the barrier to entry has got to be so low on this thing. That's the biggest issue is that if it takes me remembering your phone number to get rid of the bug

or texting you to get rid of the bug, no way. If there is a button that makes an alarm go off in your house and you can be there, I'm not kidding, 30 seconds guarantee. Or it's free. Yeah, and the first time it doesn't work, I'm tearing the button off the wall. I'm canceling my subscription.

But that sucks for you, because now you hear the alarm, you have 30 seconds to grab some random shit from your house that you're gonna sprint over there. You're gonna have to schedule times that you're available, you're gonna have to be walking loops in the neighborhood, just ready, maybe get yourself a truck, or some kind of, if you could pneumatically ship yourself there quickly, that might work,

or put the bug in the pneumatic tube, send it to me. Oh, create a zipline network that starts on your roof, and it goes down to every other house in the neighborhood. Why did I say roof? I don't know. Did you hear that? And then a second zipline goes down to your basement house in the neighborhood. Why did I say roof? I don't know. Did you hear that? And then a second zip line goes down to your basement so you can get back. Yes, that's cool.

Build a prism of zip lines all throughout your neighborhood. This is the problem with zip lines, they're only one way. We gotta figure this out. And that's why we've come here today. How do we get balanced zip lines so I can go back and forth? Think about it. That's perpetual motion, right? Is what go back and forth? Hmm, think about it. That's perpetual motion, right, is what you're talking about.

Yes, put me on- He cracked that one. Put me on an infinite loop of ziplines until I die. I was visiting my girlfriend's friend who have a three-year-old. Upon meeting the child, he immediately asked, are you strong? I'm no athlete or bodybuilder,

but my job requires a fair amount of manual work and I have a reputation for being able to live heavy things at work and in my personal life. So it's weird that those are two separate reputations, but let's go on. So I got my work reputation and my life strong reputation. I know I'm they know I'm strong at work and at home they think I'm pretty strong, but maybe they don't know exactly how strong, but it is a reputation I have. That's like Clark Kent and Superman,

you know what I mean? You look at Clark Kent and you're like, I bet that guy could live. He's fucking cut, he's built. On like a big box. And then you look at Superman, you're like, I know that guy could live to bust. But Justin, they're the same person.

They're the same guy. Superman is when he's at work. So I said yes. He immediately countered with, show me. Brothers, how do I convince this three-year-old stranger that I'm strong when there isn't a phone book or a board to chop in half nearby? That's supposedly strong in San Jose. Just to drill down on this, my girlfriend's friend has a child.

So this is your girlfriend's friend. It's basically a stranger. I mean, to you, right? We can agree. This is not a well-known child. They even said it's a three-year-old stranger. It's a three-year-old stranger. I mean, I've learned that children are inherently weak.

They're very small, their muscles are dough. The ability to prove to them that you're stronger than they are is so easy. You can pick up anything large. It doesn't have to be dense or heavy. And if you make this noise, ah, when you do it, the kids lose their shit. Yeah, they love it when you yell.

It's really hard to top physically picking someone up. Like, because their moment, like everything, all the different stuff that they can do at that point is severely limited because they no longer have the ground to work with, you know what I mean? Like, you just kind of lift them up. And I think in terms of strength, I mean. Yeah, I can't pick myself up. I've tried.

You know what I mean? If I try to pick myself up, I don't go anywhere. So if someone else picks me up, they're stronger than I am. I used to think about that in class, like, when I was younger, I would think... If you got so strong that you could lift more than your body weight... Uh-huh. Yeah. Why can't you? Yeah, no, I mean, the Lorax figured this out and he's a dumb little puppet monster.

I don't understand why I can't fucking lift myself up by the seat of my pants and fly up into the sky. Do you guys ever have recurring, I have a recurring dream where in the dream, I figured out how to jump up and not come back down and just kind of hover around like I'm glitching in a video game. Best! And every time in the dream, I will say or think,

ah, I finally figured out how to do it in real life. And I was so excited. And then I wake up and I'm so disappointed. And it happens maybe twice a week, I have that dream. I'm sorry, Travis. Yeah, but I've basically in the dream, what I'm saying is I've figured out how to pick myself up. You know what I mean?

But you've forgotten by daylight. Yep. Ain't that the way? Oh, you just gotta pick yourself up. You know what I mean? But you've forgotten by daylight. Yep. Ain't that the way? Oh, you just gotta pick yourself up by your bootstraps. Have you ever tried that, Justin? Grab your bootstraps, pull up real hard. Your ass hanging down? Pulling yourself in the air.

That's, well, Trav, that's why, that's why that expression exists, actually. Funny enough, the fact that you can't pull yourself up by your bootstraps is exactly why it's used the way it is. Because the idea that you would be able to elevate your own position by pulling on your own bootstraps is so ridiculous, and that's why the idiom is the way it is. You know, Justin, it's the same with the world

is your oyster, because the rest of that is go out there and shuck it, which means it's there if you're willing to work for it, not it's laid open before you. Anyways, welcome to- What's going on? Welcome to Brother Ronin. Hey guys, what's going on?

Just because I'm- Ronin. Just talking about Brother Ronin. We are, like, don't get me wrong. I love that it's a service we can also provide. Like, we can do joke, but we can also do, like, you know, Roman Mars shit, and that's cool. It's just like, it's a switch there with so- Do you have an idiom you wanna kinda unfold?

Yeah, what do you wanna talk about, Griffin? I would rather do, like, jokes about Mario's balls, it's just like, it's a switch there with self. Do you have an idiom you wanna kinda unfold? Yeah, what do you wanna talk about, Griffin? I would rather do like jokes about Mario's balls or like, a fucking- We can do some of those. I think Travis would love to hear it. We barely touched on the littlest bit of serious. It felt like five whole- And you were like, oh no! It felt like five whole Gregorian minutes to me, of spent, of just like, and it's not just,

and guys, it wasn't just that you started to drop fun facts, your whole like tone, like it's not just, and guys, it wasn't just that you started to drop fun facts, your whole like tone, like it was like a mask came on and you're like, it's funny, you should say, like you Frazier'd out. We said one fact each, Griffin. But it was the way you said it was like Maximum Frazier and it was like, what's going on?

It really, really felt like you guys were just stepping through a portal. I've actually been pitching that to Paramount Plus, if you would keep that here your maximum, Frazier, my post-apocalyptic Frazier reboot, please, I've told you not to share that with our audience. It's not ready yet. Yeah. Please.

It's so important when a group is trying to show versatility that at least one of them- You're doing the voice right now. This is your, like, do you understand what I'm saying? Like, where's my brother? I'm kind of sick. I've been outside all the time and I inhaled everything. It's dangerous out there.

It's not right. I inhaled everything because I'm at the park all the time and I'm just kind of sick Griffin. I'm not trying to do a voice with you. I just knew that about bootstraps. Griffin, why are you being like this? I would really appreciate it. Why are you being like this?

Griffin, why are you being like this? Me right now am expressing a desire for us to feel safe and comfortable in this environment to be ourselves. Okay, Justin and I, hold on. Justin and I, you're doing expressly the opposite. If that makes me a bad, I'm trying to make this a safe place where you know you don't have to be anything

other than exactly what you are. Okay, your submission is that the- What I'm doing is good? Midnight society, your submission is the midnight society. The boisterous, the boisterous happy guys, that's the true us. And anything less than that. Anything less than that is a put up. You don't have to be happy, no, you're misrepresenting it.

Any bit of dour necessary. You're misrepresenting it, we could do a sad joke about Mario's balls, like it doesn't have to be happy guys. Like look around. You guys hear about Mario's balls? No fucking, no fucking, you hear about Mario's balls? Got stuck in manhole cover.

They're on fire. You got him stuck in manhole cover, going down to try to kill Bowser down there. See, you could do a sad joke about Mario's balls. It doesn't, I'm not gonna force us to, I want you to be what you are. And if that's sad or mad at me, always like I think you are.

Mad at you about Mario's balls? Griffin, what did you do? What did I do? To Mario's balls. Drove my car over him. But I did, I just went. I guess I'm trying to be a good brother. And you are!

Take me away, Jail. Take me away to jail for trying to be a good fucking brother for once. Lift their dad up. Yeah. Lift their dad around? Pick their dad up. Take me away to jail for trying to be a good fucking brother for once. Lift their dad up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is their dad around? Pick their dad up.

Or just all like dad. Well, that's a dangerous, that is a, if we don't know the answer to that question, I don't know that we can suggest they- If the dad's not around, you become the dad because dads are inherently strong to their children. Okay. Boom. I'm sorry to your girlfriend, by the way, for whatever.

Are you strong to your kids, Juice? No, no, no. No, his kids are too old. Yeah, I was gonna say, Trav, you can't just drop that. Yeah, by five or six, they crack it. By five or six, they know. In the phone book, which I think still exists, see if you can find a place now.

They literally said, they literally, literally fucking said the question that they do not have a phone book find a place. They literally said, they literally, literally fucking said in the question that they do not have a phone book. Okay, then Google. Travis, that is, they said. You could not have fucked that up. Okay, in the parameter of the question. Rip your phone in half.

Pull your iPhone out, rip it in half. The trial rule, one, respect your strength. Two, respect your commitment to the bit. Three, love your commentary on how we've become too connected to our devices in this day and age. Yes, yes. Thank you. Don't use your real phone though.

Don't use your own personal phone. The kid doesn't know. Use his, break his dad's phone. See what his dad does. See, look, your dad's not doing shit. That's how strong I am. And if the dad's not around, you say, I found your, this is your dad's phone.

I found it. He tried to hide it. He wouldn't follow him. I found it. He tried to hide it. He wouldn't follow him. I got it. It's full of messages for you anyway. It's real? It's full of clues you need to find. I've just denied you,

I've just denied you a great, pathetic moment. That's strength. The strength is the denial of emotional presence. That's power. That's power. That's power, baby. I was gonna say hire a bunch of extras to compliment your strength, but I actually like this better.

If I'm hiring extras, I'm gonna teach them how to fake a fight. Yeah. Fake beat them all up. Yeah, recreate the whole pool hall fight scene from step by step. It's getting expensive. Oh yeah, fuck, good pull, Griffin.

As long as we're touching on this Griffin. The scene from Family Matters. Another kick ass fight scene. Yeah, no, when Urkel is challenged to the rope climbing contest, and he builds a jet pack instead because he uses his strongest muscle, his brain, which isn't a muscle I don't think,

and he flies up with the jet pack to get to the top, which I think is cheating, but in the show, it's seen as a celebration, but then he busts through the ceiling and ends up, I think, crossing over to step-by-step. He ends up at step-by-step. Recreate that scene for the three-year-olds. It's gonna blow it.

So you want this person to... Basically, I had TGIF. This child said, prove to me your strength, and your suggestion is strap on a jet pack, blast through the ceiling, first of all. First, if I could say the first problem. I mean, okay, let's take this step by step. There's no jet packs.

You die if you blast into the ceiling. No, Urkel had to invent it because he used his brain. He didn't go by one of the jet packs. Okay, in this world, Urkel has invented a jet pack. He smashes into the ceiling. He's dead now. There's no fucking way. Urkel didn't go buy one of the jet packs to work. Okay, in this world, Urkel has invented a jet pack. He smashes into the ceiling, he's dead now, there's no fucking way. Urkel didn't die? You've left the child alone, bye kid, boop, see ya,

and then you want them to land. Wait, wait, we are solely responsible for that child's care, that should've been established within the question. Okay, I'm assuming maybe a lot, but then the last step of your plan is to go to step by step. And I don't really know how to come-

Not about Griffin. Urkel doesn't aim for step by step. He ends up there and takes Al to the dance. Yeah. And then he does the Urkel for everyone and everyone on step by step ends up doing the Urkel. It was a huge crossover event, Griffin. I remember.

If that's not strength, what is? But- Yeah, brought the Tommy Westfall universe to its knees. What if. Just like the TGIF special where Salem had a time traveling hairball and all the different shows, including Teen Angel and Boy Meets World, were shot in different decades for that weekend. Or the must see TV event where a New York City blackout crossed over between Caroline and the city and friends

and Seinfeld creating. What's the one with Paul Reiser? Mad About You. Mad About You? Yeah, it's a four part continuity that ties together. TV used to be so good. TV used to rip. What if in that scene in Step by Step where Urkel lands with a jet pack,

what if instead the jet pack malfunctioned in the sky and he fell to his death in the yard of the Step by Step family and then they just had to kind death in the yard of the step-by-step family and then they just had to kind of deal with that. What if you're watching step-by-step? It's not Ozark Griffin, it's step-by-step! You're watching step-by-step and just a body just fucking laying like,

what the fuck? And now it's a cover-up? Okay, no, no, no. Stamp, pass, stamp. If you're watching the episode step-by-step, Urkel crashes into the yard dead. Dead. And then the Fargo logo pops up. It's like, holy shit, yeah!

Yes, yes! Season seven, are you sure? It's a soft reboot. It's a soft reboot of three. People do spin-offs all the time, they don't do spin-ins. I'm saying you do a spin-in where a show is concurrently happening within another show.

Absolutely. How about we go to the Mannezone? Let's do it. ["It's Better With You"] You're living in the future. Look around you. Doctors are at your fingertips. Wow.

Yeah, it used to be you had to go places to find doctors. Now you go get this on your phone to find doctors or your computer or whatever. I don't know how you access the internet, but, or as mentioned, impossible to call it cyberspace. Cyberspace. If you're accessing cyberspace, good news, you can find a doctor through ZocDoc.

And not just a medical doctor, but a dentist doctor or a brain doctor. What do you need? Travis, I have it on good authority that the entity's efforts to corrupt the information within cyberspace has not been affected with ZocDoc. They have top of the line protections to protect them from the entity

and to assist Ethan Hunt whenever he needs a physician. Yeah. Whoa, dude. So it's not an impossible mission to get the healthcare you need with ZocDoc. Wildfire. The co-branding opportunity that no one expected, no one paid for, and no one allowed. And no one will be happy about, probably, with our client. Hey, in that three hour movie, I don't mention that if they stop the entity, it will destroy cyberspace no less than twelve times.

Then they stop the entity, spoilers, and cyberspace is never addressed. The world seems fine. It really gives you blue balls. I wanna see that bitch go down. I don't wanna- the world's songs to cyberspace. I wanna see cyberspace close, please. Hey, I'm actually. You know who doesn't wanna see that? Zoc Doc, you know why?

Because they're committed to helping you find the best doctors in your area. And they love cyberspace. They love cyberspace. They do. You've been relocated or you're looking to switch a position, whatever the need, stop putting off those doctor's appointments

and go to zocdoc.com slash my brother to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today. That's Z-O-C-D-O-C.com slash my brother, zocdoc.com slash my brother. I think another weird thing for the Mission Impossible movies is how the entity never eats. Maybe it's too busy. Maybe it doesn't have time to eat.

You know what I mean? That happens to all of us. Where do you even find the time to eat? Well, I get fresh meals sort of delivered to my house ready to eat from factory. Holy da, must be nice. Okay. Weird energy to bring.

I'm waiting for Ethan to come home so I can make dinner. He's so busy all the time finding the entity, Griffin. I don't even know what ingredients to buy. I don't know how to make it. Well, you don't have to worry. You sound ridiculous right now because Factor's chef crafted meals are ready to eat in just two minutes,

taking the hassle out of eating well. So you can get right back to wearing a big suit that inflates to make you look bigger and change the way your face and head looks. Or chewing a piece of gum that lets you turn invisible like some sort of chameleon. You can get right back to doing that, shooting a gun that has a little,

it shoots a little computer out and there's a little guy that comes out of the computer as a hologram. That's a hologram, yeah. Cool. Yeah, so all that shit comes in your first factor box, all of this incredible mission impossible technology and also delicious chef crafted meals.

And these things are very important. Only one of those things is true and we're not gonna tell you which one. I mean, it will take you a while to pick from the delicious weekly menu options, 45 different weekly menu options. There may very well be Mission Impossible technology on there, but you're also gonna get

like good nutritious breakfast and on-the-go lunches and premium dinners. They're ready so fast. Whatever, what? They're ready so fast. They're ready so fast. Whatever. What? They're ready so fast. They're ready so fast. This offer won't self-destruct when we're done reading it.

No, yeah, I don't even know how that would, what you said would happen. I don't know how it works in the Mission Impossible franchise either, but they're always- It says here in the factor ad copy, don't even joke about how their phone might blow up because of this commercial. Fuck, yeah, please, please, we ask again.

Squads. Squads, dude, you're eating and you left no fucking crumbs, dude. Welcome to Munch Squad.

It's a podcast with a podcast profile and the latest and greatest in brand eating. I'm just inspired, guys. I've been directing this show, The Prom, at the theater, at the Ritter Park Campus Theater. You can get tickets at heartprom.com, H-A-R-T, prom.com. How dare you promote art on our show? This weekend, not next weekend,

you missed it last weekend, I wish you'd come, but this weekend you can come on out. Unless you're gonna be in Columbus with us. Unless you're gonna be in Columbus. Hey, listen, folks, do both, all right? It's not that far, what, four hours? No, prom's three nights, you can make it all happen. Our show's two, prom's three, figure it out.

Get committed or get out of the way and let somebody else, a real fan, whoa. Yeah, super hostile. Yeah, absolutely. Super hostile. That's how they sell tickets on Broadway, Griffin. They stand outside and they yell like, I thought you were a real fan. And you're like, what show is this?

And you're like, what's about a mattress? And they're like, I like what's upon a mattress. I'm like, do you? Cause you're not in here. Do you prove it? You're about to be once Once Upon a Mattress, and I'm like, do you? Cause you're not in here. You're about to be once upon in a coffin forever. I'm gonna fucking kill you if you don't come see Once Upon a Mattress.

Come see Beetlejuice or you'll learn a thing or two about being dead for real. Yeah, cause I'll make you dead meat if you don't come to Beetlejuice. With these two hands and this knife. You're in town, you're in trouble. If you don't come to see our play. I'm gonna spill your Beetlejuice,

by which I mean the blood inside you. If you don't come see Beetlejuice this Saturday. Cats have nine lives, but your stupid ass doesn't. Come see cats. Oh, I'm glad that was about cats, or I would have been really lost. Okay, listen. Taco Bell has debuted

crispy chicken tacos and burritos. They have what? They have debuted. They have debuted, you know what I'm saying, just having some fun. Those are available today, I think, if I'm doing the math correctly. Taco Bell is unleashing a full flavored and full size,

yet just as craveable version of crispy chicken in its boldest move yet. Okay. Okay. That's a big, that's a big claim. This is Taco Bell in their boldest move yet. Now, when they say full flavor, was there a different option that they considered? When they're like,

they did shitty chicken nuggets for a minute. We're gonna expand the chicken, but not the flavor part, just the size. The flavor's normal. Yeah, the flavor's perfect. Starting June 17th, the brand is loading its crispy chicken strips into its most iconic formats with the debut of crispy chicken tacos and burritos

Available nationwide for a limited time. Okay, Justin. Can I stop you for a second? You have yeah, I Think it's real Bold and brassy of these Taco Bell PR people to act like hey we had this protein-based thing and you're never gonna believe what we thought of doing with it. We put it in a taco.

Like that is supposed to blow my brain out of the water or whatever. Yeah, trap it. 100%. And I think you can, if there is a theme of this press release, I do believe it is that hubris, that toxic hubris,

where they have discovered that people like to buy crispy chicken, and they've gotten what we in West Virginia might call above their raisin. You know what I mean? They've forgotten where they came from, and now they're thinking like their shit don't stink. Listen to this. I mean, they made a McDonald's snack wrap.

Do you want a fucking trophy? $8 for it? I bet you do. Quote, no, I'm not to the quote yet. I'm still trying to finish this. It's the same signature recipe fans loved in the sellout nuggets and the latest step in what's quickly becoming a full-on crispy chicken era

for Taco Bell. They're trying to restart the wars. Yeah, they can't, it's so irresponsible. I don't think there's a person alive who, it's too fresh, we just lived through it. I think there's a weariness, and I don't think Taco Bell's gonna get it. We don't have the resource,

I'm not going back to rationing. Are you kidding me? Hey, tell me if this is someone who is being cautious of their words and deeds. Quote, crispy chicken is having a moment, but our fans have made it a movement, said Taylor Montgomery, Chief Marketing Officer at Taco Bell. Bold.

Good, bold. Just like Hamilton. Just like Hamilton. Just like Hamilton. Just like Hamilton. So we decided- That weird song in the middle of Hamilton where he does a whole thing about crispy chicken,

I thought was cool, my favorite part of the show. And it's weird because it's like, if you could pull up Mr. Burr, it'll be ready in like 10 minutes. He's like, I'm gonna wait for it. And it's like, wow. Yeah, he sings about how he's gonna wait for it. So we decided to bring out our sellout nuggets recipe to the formats that defined our brand

because true innovation means elevating the icons, not replacing them. But it's not. They took the thing they were making and put it on tacos! Travis, we're not like every other chicken spot out there. We're doing crispy chicken the only way we know how. Full of flavor and unmistakably taco-billed. Travis- It's weird that we didn't start with tacos and work our way backward.

It's our core competency! They needed to see if it was good enough to put in a taco, and then they did it. After the breakout success of crispy chicken nuggets, these motherfuckers! It's chicken nuggets! If you put it on the menu, everybody will buy it. You know what? There's a hot trend at every motherfucking restaurant in the Walt Disney World Resort, it's called serving chicken nuggets because they will be purchased fuck The next move was obvious take the craveable tortilla coated crunch fans love and pack it in the formats that may talk about famous Tacos and burritos at the center is the new crispy chicken strip. All white meat chicken marinated in fan favorite

zesty jalapeno buttermilk flavor and breaded with crispy tortilla chips. The inclusion of the word flavor there sucks. They keep insisting that there's flavor. Then it's loaded into bold builds with layers of texture familiar favorites like shredded cheddar and pico de gallo. Whoa, they put cheese on it?

They put cheese on it. So it's just moving closer to the light of Christ in the McDonald's snack wrap. That's just what you're making, guys. I promise you. Here's a quote from Liz Matthews over here. And there's just a wisp of lettuce on there as if we almost forgot to include it.

Of the wettest, softest lettuce. This is the most transparent lettuce you've ever seen. Is the full perimeter of the lettuce brown? Why, of course it is. It's the kind of lettuce that makes you ask, is that part of the wrapper? Mm-hmm. It looks like a child science experiment

where they soaked it in food coloring and the food coloring was brown. Enjoy! The craving for crispy chicken is growing every single day. And our fans have told us loud and clear, give us more. Or we'll die. We listened! Continue to innovate and now have delivered, said Liz Matthews,

Taco Bell's global chief food innovation officer. Hardest job, hardest job on the planet. Yeah, let's hear from our frontline workers. Give it up, Liz. From our viral crispy chicken nuggets to redesigning it, you can't, I think we gotta start being a bit more careful about what we call viral and what we call popular. Because I feel like for virality to be achieved,

the nuggets have to in some way be self-replicating, right? There has to be some amount of the nuggets that are just perpetuated themselves. I would also like to avoid referring to anything edible as viable. Agreed, yeah. The obsession with perfecting the crispy chicken recipe, the sauce, they're still throwing a parade for themselves

for adding chicken nuggets to the menu. I also like the imagery of the obsession of like, listen, we as a company didn't wanna do this, but Todd would not let it go. But you fucking freaks, you fucking sickos and your fan favorite jalapeno flavorings. We didn't wanna do it. We hate selling these things.

We hate doing this. We are not called Chicken Bell. The obsession runs so deep, Taco Bell couldn't pick just one person to help launch it. Because if crispy chicken nuggets proved anything... It's the existence of God. It's that everyone's into crispy chicken, done the Taco Bell way. So a full-on crispy chicken cameo casting call was unleashed,

tapping unexpected icons and devoted fans from every corner of culture to taste the crispy, bold greatness for themselves. Is Young Gravy in the mix? Because Young Gravy's always in the mix. No, his absence is noted and suspicious, I will say, Travis. Young Gravy, where art thou? That's what I say. Yeah. They probably had to turn him away. It was opt-out for Young Gravy, where art thou? That's what I say. Yeah. They probably had to turn him away. It was opt out for Young Gravy. We have comedic nods from Kate Flannery

to surprise voices like Gata and expert tastemakers like Christian Petrodi. A wide array of cameos is all about this shared obsession because when the chicken hits his heart, everyone's got something to say. I don't know. So are we gonna get to see those Taco Bells? Wouldn't that be something?

Wouldn't that be something? They talk about them in here, but I don't know if we can find them maybe. So in this press release, they just got back from summer vacation, lying to their friends about the cool shit their uncle left them through. Oh dude, I for sure met young Gravy.

Yeah man. It was crazy, man. He filmed the coolest TikToks about this. He loved it. He thought it was good. He did a cameo for me for free. But he said I wasn't allowed to share them with you because you don't deserve them. We got our cameo and we just went nuts, gang.

Anyway, enjoy the chicken. Anyway, yeah. So that's the chicken. They're doing chicken tacos, if you can believe it. Believe it or not. I housed so many of those McDonald's snack wraps. It was my favorite sort of go-to guy. And I think they stopped doing them.

It's a great guy. I think they stopped doing them in like 1999 perhaps. And so I'm excited that they, wait a minute. No, you made them come back just now. No, no, no, no, no. McDonald's snack wraps are coming back on July 10th. Yeah. What the fuck's going on, man?

What? How can we go from zero snack wrap offerings in the fast food marketplace to now, like the big fucking dog is coming right back as Taco Bell steps into its territory. Here's my, where I'm at currently is that there is not so much food trends as there are food extras. So everybody get pumped for chicken

because we have lots of chicken. We just ended up with a lot of chicken as a nation. Well, eggs are too expensive to buy and the damn things keep turning into birds. You gotta watch. Yeah. Yeah. Damn it.

There's some logic that makes sense in there, Travis. I'm searching for it. Ah, nobody bought these eggs and my supermarket's full of birds again. Carl McDonald's. We bought too many eggs. You wanna do another question? Yes. Recently I requested a book through my library's purchase request form. We bought too many eggs You want to do another question? Yes

Recently, I requested a book through my library's purchase request form you do so much with your local library now You know a library audio all three all they're online Maybe check out your local library a lot of great folks there. They love books and I love you Recently I requested a book periodicals Microfilch I don't know. It's film find all kinds of periodicals, microfiche. I don't know, it's film or fish. So I went with both in one word. You really split the uprights.

Within a day, I got a personalized email responding to my request and said that my book would be in by the end of the week. Brothers, much to my chagrin, by the time I made my way to checking out the book, someone else had gotten there. So now I'm on the hold list. Funny enough, I feel me and this person

could maybe be friends, given their interest and quickness to seize this specific book. And we'd have a good conversation starter. My question is, how can I get library staff to give me this potential foe turn into a friend's email? That's from Tomeless in Tampa. I, you know what? I realized-

You see the way I'm making a, I'm making a, oh. Yeah, but this is a second question like this. And I'm realizing what's happening here. We have entered We've entered the A's the the the era of our advice giving we're like now people come to us It's like an oceans movie where there's like one old guy that used to crack this certain kind of safe and they're like Listen, I got this thing and he's like can't be done Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, this is the kind of question we get now.

They want us to be like, can't be done. And then we walk out and they're like, wait, it's against this guy you hate. And I'll be like, how much money do you have? That's the kind. That rules, dude. That's where we're at. You know what I mean?

And maybe he dies at some point in the movie. And you're like, it's poignant that they did. It's for him. Well, here's the twist. But it is very much like, hey brothers, I wanna meet a stranger based on a book we both like and I have no way of doing it and I have to convince other people to help me do it.

They want us to say, ugh, help me out, help me out. You are somewhere else's time, young buck. I got it. You ready for this? It's a term that I have been using lately to describe, like Teresa and I read different books and then talk about them to each other.

And I refer to it as an asynchronous book club. You can do an asynchronous book club here where the librarian is going to become your like dead drop. Right? Okay. Where you're like, give them this note, it's anonymous. And I want an anonymous response about this, right? And we're gonna come to the library. I love this so much.

Wait, before you even detail this idea, I'd love to kind of play it out a little bit. So I'll be the librarian and you be the person trying to get the email, okay? And I'll just be someone standing around. All right, you're gonna just sit around listening, like just hearing it and I really want to try Let's just really buy in okay. I don't want to let's really try go ahead read my book Hey, um

the book The books that I ordered and somebody like checked it out your feet your being too loud Okay, I'm in a really good part of my history book right now. I'll cut my hands around the librarian's ears the way they ask. You're still going. Dang it. So I'd like to contact them.

Only you can hear me now, librarian, because I'm covering my hands around your ears. I'd love to contact them. If you could deliver them this anonymous letter. No. Now here's the problem here, Justin. I feel like what you're failing to keep in mind is that someone doesn't become a librarian

because they're not interested in playing out storylines because they don't want to see where the story goes. I'm saying that I think. Ah, damn it, you're right, because I work at the library. Try again. Okay, just do the last few words. I was wondering if you could like give this anonymous letter

to them, and, and, cause I'd love to talk to them about this book. You've intrigued me. I do love a classic tale of missed connections. Let me see. Pfff. Ah yes. Cough cough cough cough. I'm sorry Jeremy.

Why'd you just blow all that fucking dust on me dude? Forgive me Jeremy. You're asthma. I've forgotten again. Apologies. So, you wish to contact Daniel Peterson? Oh, his name was Daniel Peterson? Okay, thank you. Hey, hey, Sven. Are you a different guy? Did you just give out another customer's name? Sorry, Trav, I gotta know, are you a different guy right now? I'm a different, now I'm the boss of the library. Okay.

All right, say it, give me my cue again. Make the voice way lower, because I'm getting good at getting good at this. Hey, hey, Sven. Did you just give out another library patron's name? I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you.

I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you. I'm voice like way lower cuz I'm getting Hey, hey, Finn Did you just give out another library patrons name? No, father Oh, I heard you said Daniel Peterson No, father. That was a miss. You've misheard again father. You've forgotten your daily nap I am pretty tired

Father have you been have you been taking care of your mind Father, it sounds like you're slipping in your old age. I've been taking my ginkgo biloba. Jeremy, you hear this, right? You're my witness, Father's slipping. Yeah, where's the Bible section? Thank you so much for, thank you so much for listening to our podcast, which is still called My Brother, My Brother and Me,
