The McElroy brothers are not experts
0:03
and their advice should never be followed. Travis
0:06
insists he's a sexpert, but
0:08
if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it.
0:11
Also, this show isn't for kids, which
0:14
I mentioned only so the babies out there will
0:16
know how cool they are for listening. What's
0:19
up you cool baby? It's
1:00
better, it's better with you. My
1:03
life! It's
1:06
better with
1:08
you. Hello
1:11
everybody and welcome to My Brother, My Brother
1:13
Me and Advice Show for the Modern Era.
1:15
I'm your oldest brother, Justin
1:17
McElroy. What's up
1:20
Trav Nation? I'm your middle-est brother
1:22
Travis Big Dog Wolf of McElroy.
1:25
Good morning Trav Nation. I'm your sweet
1:27
baby brother Griffin McElroy. I am disappointed
1:29
in us brothers. I
1:32
am too, just like constantly, just the quality
1:34
of our output, the content of our character.
1:36
Well we've been traveling and we did the
1:38
tours and we've been so focused on comedy
1:40
that we've let slide our
1:43
core competency, our promise
1:45
to the listeners, sports coverage.
1:47
Yeah, sports coverage. Do
1:50
you guys know how mad it
1:52
makes me? That
1:54
I was on vacation during
1:58
the week. that
2:00
a man was disqualified. Yes,
2:02
Justin, this is all I wanna talk
2:04
about. But we can't, Trav. What?
2:07
This is what I wanna talk about. I have no idea what
2:09
you're talking about. So, yeah,
2:11
you do, Griffin, the French pole vaulter.
2:14
Oh, his right mouth. He's part of a decathlon.
2:17
His privacy got caught on the bar. His privacy
2:19
got caught on the thing. I don't wanna talk
2:21
about this, that stinks. But you can't, but you,
2:23
I know, because everybody did already
2:26
last week. And
2:28
it would've been primo. The
2:31
way we would've done it, I see, would've been
2:33
tasteful. I think it's in bad taste to comment
2:35
on it now. I don't think it's okay to
2:37
comment on it. And we can't. We can't. But
2:40
back then, please know we would've nailed
2:42
it. We would've done it with discretion.
2:44
Nuff said. I wanna talk about, so
2:47
purportedly, and this story back,
2:49
I believe, with the Tokyo
2:51
Games, they started
2:54
using these cardboard beds. Yeah.
2:57
Everybody was like, they're anti-fuck beds. This
2:59
is gonna make it hard because they're
3:02
flimsy, they're gonna fall apart. And
3:04
why would they, oh, just from, okay. Oh,
3:06
Griffin, the Olympic Village is a bacchanal.
3:09
No, no, no, I get that. I
3:11
guess I'm just wondering about what happens
3:13
in a sex act that
3:15
the bed is just like, nope. That
3:17
it wouldn't, I imagine if I'm an
3:20
Olympic athlete, I just spent the whole
3:22
day throwing spears around. When I-
3:24
Do you think you're having the laziest sex of your life?
3:26
I'm not, I think I'm just, I think
3:28
I slomped down in bed like time to
3:31
kick. My body is
3:33
the most tired of human beings' body can be. Time
3:35
for bed, hwomp, hwomp. And it's like, I didn't even
3:37
fuck. Then you have to go to the RA and
3:39
be like, my bed broke. And you'd be like, who
3:41
was it, was it that Norwegian
3:43
swimmer? And it's like, nah, man, I
3:46
just sat down on it. Thank you,
3:48
Olympics. Listen, there's no
3:50
way it's about them not having sex
3:52
on it. I'm tired of this rumor
3:55
going around. It doesn't make any sense.
3:57
For starters, I don't
3:59
know. many people who when they're
4:01
super duper duper duper excited about
4:04
humping are put off because there's
4:06
not a bed nearby. That's number
4:08
one and I certainly don't think
4:10
any of them are fucking Olympians
4:12
my friend. If anything I bet
4:14
Olympians feel weird not making it
4:16
as physically exertive as possible like
4:18
we're gonna hang from a doorframe
4:20
while we like we're just holding
4:23
on to everything doing backflips while
4:25
we do it. I'm a guy
4:27
that professionally shoots guns and skis
4:29
I'll figure it out. What's great
4:31
is so that rumors started going
4:33
around and the Olympics had to
4:35
come out and be like we
4:37
didn't do that no it's part
4:39
of a recycling initiative we
4:42
can't stop them. That's right
4:44
you can't like they give
4:46
out the twin size mattresses
4:48
these people some of them
4:50
giant right they're like like
4:55
Michael Phelps has the wingspan of a
4:57
great condor right and they're putting him
4:59
in a twin sized mattress he's still
5:01
I guarantee heaven's I mean not now.
5:03
I don't think Michael Phelps is sleeping
5:05
at the Olympic Village that would be
5:07
that would be so bonkers like he's
5:09
going back to his high
5:12
school like yeah he has
5:14
his pod in the bay
5:16
that he climbs into with the and
5:18
he snuggles up with a big octopus
5:21
yeah like God intended him
5:23
to do. I was
5:26
thinking about how you decide to
5:28
become a synchronized diver. You dive
5:30
one time and you're like something's
5:32
missing. I'm alone I feel so
5:34
lonely. It's like another half of
5:36
me. Or I think it's more
5:38
like a bowling lane thing right
5:40
where it just has to be
5:42
the two of you step up
5:44
at the same time yeah do
5:46
it and you're like did you
5:48
just do that because I
5:50
did that are we in the drift and
5:52
I think now you'll have to become every
5:54
they won't say this out loud
5:57
but I will the every
5:59
A synchronized Olympic diver is married
6:02
to the other one. They're all married. Oh,
6:04
is that true? They are
6:06
all married couples because you can't
6:08
not fall in love deeply,
6:11
get married, doing
6:13
what they do day in, day out. I have
6:15
to imagine like 10 hours a day, these people
6:18
are diving in perfect synchronicity, their hearts and minds
6:20
are connected in a very tangible and visceral way.
6:22
Then they get married. Oh,
6:24
I thought you meant they get married
6:27
first. Like, all right, you two married.
6:29
Now go practice. I think the problem
6:31
that you're having, Griff, is you're thinking
6:33
of marriage and that sort of love
6:36
as the deepest expression of love. So
6:38
thereby the diving would be a conduit
6:40
to that. What I'm saying is the
6:43
diving is actually a deeper, more
6:46
intimate connection than your marriage
6:48
bed. It's what I am
6:50
suggesting. That is
6:52
interesting. That your swimming partner should
6:55
be jealous of your, like you're spending
6:57
too much time at home with your
6:59
wife because
7:02
you're married to the mother.
7:04
Every swim, every synchronized diving team
7:06
used to be married. But
7:10
they're divorced to each other now because
7:12
they found this deeper. They're divorced to each other.
7:14
They're divorced from each other, but
7:16
now they keep it real. They did a
7:18
divorce. They did a divorce to one another.
7:20
Okay, can I suggest that if that is
7:22
a really great shorthand,
7:25
we don't even ever have to
7:27
say, but it was amicable ever
7:29
again. You're either divorced from someone
7:31
or divorced to them. Yeah,
7:34
I like that. I am divorced to Kyle,
7:36
actually. Yeah, oh, Kyle? Yeah, I'm divorced to
7:38
him. I'm divorced to him. We're back.
7:40
Divorced together sounds like the
7:43
name of a ABC sitcom
7:46
that would run for nine episodes before
7:48
getting candid. Or nine years. Or nine
7:50
years, one of those things. Let me
7:52
also offer this. If you're separated, you're
7:54
engaged to be divorced. That's
7:57
interesting. Yeah. I like, anyway.
