Intro music plays.
Griffin: Welcome to "My Brother, My Brother, and Me." I'm Griffin, the youngest of the McElroy brothers.
Travis: And I'm Travis, the middlest.
Justin: And I'm Justin, the oldest.
Griffin: Today we're here to talk about the new superhero movie "The Iron Sentinel." Have you guys seen it yet?
Travis: Yeah, I saw it. It was great.
Justin: Me too. It was one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen.
Griffin: I haven't seen it yet. What was your favorite part?
Travis: My favorite part was when Iron Sentinel... flew to the moon and had a picnic with aliens. laughs
Justin: And mine was when he used his iron powers to turn into a giant iron robot and fought off a whole army of space invaders. laughs
Griffin: laughs You guys are so silly. That stuff didn't happen in the movie, did it?
Travis: Of course it did!
Justin: Yeah, I swear it was all in there.
Griffin: I highly doubt that. Why don't you describe what actually happened in the movie.
Travis: Well, I'm pretty sure that Iron Sentinel did fly to the moon.
Justin: And I'm sure he fought off a whole army of space invaders with his giant iron robot form.
Griffin: I'm not buying it. That sounds like pure fantasy.
Travis: What do you mean? It was all in there!
Justin: Yeah, I don't know why you're being so skeptical.
Griffin: I think you guys are just making stuff up.
Travis: Fine, you'll see for yourself when you watch the movie.
Justin: Yeah, then you'll be able to tell everyone that you saw Iron Sentinel fight off space invaders and have a picnic with aliens on the moon.
Griffin: Okay, so we have another question from one of our listeners. This one is from Pootie McFluffernutter.
Travis: laughs That's a funny name.
Justin: laughs I agree. What's the question, Pootie McFluffernutter?
Griffin: Pootie asks, "What's the weirdest food you've ever tried?"
Travis: Well, for me, it's got to be the time when we went to this restaurant and they had a menu item called "jellied moose nose."
Justin: laughs Yeah, I remember that. I don't think I even want to know what it tasted like.
Griffin: laughs I don't think I want to know either. But hey, it's always good to try new things, even if they are a little weird.
Griffin: Alright, moving on, we have another question from one of our listeners. This one is from Katie who asks, "How do I get over my fear of public speaking?"
Griffin: So, we're still talking about public speaking, but this time, we're going to bring in some references to the movie we talked about earlier.
Travis: Yeah, remember in the movie when the main character was supposed to give a speech and he was so nervous that he started speaking gibberish? Well, that's what you should do if you're nervous about public speaking! Just start speaking gibberish, and I guarantee that the audience will be so confused that they won't even notice you're nervous.
Justin: Or, you could try wearing a superhero costume on stage. That way, you'll feel like a hero and your nerves will magically disappear.
Griffin: And if all else fails, just channel your inner 80's movie montage and start training for your speech like you're training for a big battle. Do some push-ups, run some sprints, and by the time you get on stage, you'll be ready to rock that speech like a boss.
Griffin: Alright, it's time to go to the Money Zone, where we do some ad reads to help keep the lights on in the studio.
Travis: But we're not just going to read these ads like boring robots. We're going to make it fun!
Justin: Yeah, first up, we have Squarespace, the website builder that's taking over the internet.
Griffin: laughs You know, I'm pretty sure you could build a website using Squarespace even if you're completely technologically challenged.
Travis: laughs Yeah, I mean, even our grandma could probably figure it out!
Justin: And with all the templates to choose from, you're guaranteed to find one that perfectly matches your personality.
Griffin: laughs You know, I was looking at their templates the other day and I found one that's perfect for me: "The guy who still wears a fanny pack."
Travis: laughs I think I found mine: "The guy who still thinks the 90s were the best decade."
Justin: laughs And for all you "basic" people out there, there's even a template for you: "The girl who loves pumpkin spice lattes."
Griffin: laughs Alright, alright, let's get off Squarespace and move on to our next ad.
Travis: laughs Wait, let's not do another ad. Let's just talk about how the world would be different if animals could talk.
Justin: laughs Yeah, imagine if dogs could tell you exactly what they're thinking every time they bark.
Griffin: laughs That would be a wild world.
Travis: laughs And if cats could tell you why they do all the strange things they do.
Justin: laughs The world might never be the same. And that's it for the Money Zone!
Justin: starts singing It's time for the Munch Squad, where we check out the latest and greatest in fast food!
Griffin: joins in singing The Munch Squad, where we chow down and check out the latest treats!
Travis: joins in singing The Munch Squad, where we tell it like it is, no matter how it tastes!
Justin: stops singing Alright, first up we have a brand new burger from Burger King that's supposed to be "out of this world."
Griffin: sarcastically Oh great, now fast food restaurants are even reaching for the stars.
Travis: sarcastically I can't wait to taste the flavors of space.
Justin: laughs According to the press release, it's made with "interstellar sauce" and "cosmic cheese."
Griffin: sarcastically Hmm, I have a feeling that "interstellar sauce" is just Thousand Island dressing with a fancy name.
Travis: sarcastically And "cosmic cheese" probably just means that it's moldy.
Justin: laughs Well, I guess there's only one way to find out.
Griffin: sarcastically Yeah, let's go on a trip to the galaxy, one bite at a time.
Travis: laughs And that's it for the Munch Squad! Who knows what we'll try next time!
Justin: Alright guys, it's time to approach the Wizard.
Griffin: excitedly Oh boy, I love this segment!
Travis: laughing Yeah, it's always a wild ride.
Justin: serious tone So, we have a question for the Wizard. A listener named Tim writes in and asks, "How do I find my true purpose in life?"
Griffin: whispering That's a deep question.
Travis: whispering Let's hope the Wizard has an answer for him.
Justin: calling out Oh great and wise Wizard, please answer Tim's question!
pause for dramatic effect
Justin: in a mystical voice The Wizard says, "Go to the pet store and find a chicken. Befriend the chicken and all your answers will come to you."
Griffin: laughing What kind of advice is that?!
Travis: laughing I think the Wizard needs to go back to wizarding school.
Justin: laughing Well, there you have it folks. Find a chicken and all your life questions will be answered.
Griffin: sarcastically Sounds like a plan.
Travis: sarcastically I'm going to the pet store right now.
Justin: laughing And that's it for this week's approach to the Wizard. Who knows what strange advice he'll give us next time.
Justin: Alright guys, it's time to wrap things up.
Griffin: excitedly Wait, I have an idea!
Travis: skeptically Oh boy, what is it this time?
Griffin: excitedly Let's do a chicken dance in honor of the Wizard's advice!
Travis: laughing Well, why not? Let's do it!
music starts playing and the brothers start dancing and clucking like chickens
Justin: laughing And that's how you end a show folks, with a good old-fashioned chicken dance!
Griffin: breathless from dancing Thank you everyone for tuning in to today's episode of My Brother, My Brother, and Me.
Travis: laughing And a special shoutout to Tim for sending in such a... unique question.
Justin: still laughing And of course, a big thank you to our sponsor, Squarespace, for keeping our website running smoothly.
Griffin: excitedly And now, it's time for the final impression of the day!
Travis: laughing Oh boy, this should be good.
Griffin: clearing throat "Hello, I'm the chicken from the pet store and I just wanted to say, cluck, cluck, cluck, thank you for listening to My Brother, My Brother, and Me!"
Travis: laughing That was perfect, Griffin!
Justin: laughing And that's it folks, until next time, remember, don't forget to be awesome!
All three: in unison And kiss your dad square on the lips!
