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! A small acquaintance has blossomed, it's ripened into a precious friendship. I could have never seen what was coming for me. Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach. My life, it feels like life. It's better, it's better with you. This is true.
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 up, Trav Nation? It's me, your middlest brother, Travis Big Dog Wolf of Vroom Vroom, the heater, award-winning McElroy. What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, your sweet baby brother, 30 under 30 media luminary, Griffin, Bill Ford, tough McElroy. Which year is it? It's not the car one. Is it? It's not the car one anymore. I guess that's true. No, it's the baseball one. You're still built for tough. Yeah. Yeah, no, I guess, yeah. No, for sure. I can run over a bunch of loose boulders and splash through a creek, and I won't get anything in my undercarriage. No, that's one of the things I like most about your undercarriage.
And my bed is fucking huge, dude. You could store 12 whole things of... Lumber or sheet rock or other sort of. You could put two race car beds in his bed. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's true. Hey, guys, good news. Bad news. Just news. Some news. Any news that isn't bad news is good news. How's that? Is that something? If it ain't bad news, it's good news. If it's not about my pal Mitch, I don't want to fucking hear about it. Sorry, what? If it ain't about my pal Mitch, I don't want to hear about it. I've been on tenterhooks. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Griff, I will say this. I don't know what to tell you about Mitch. The jury is still out on that one. We haven't gotten any new leads there. But what I can tell you is that Daylight Savings Time has just been voted by the U.S.
House of Representatives to be a permanent thing in a 308-117 vote. 308 to 117. Finally getting to the most important issues of the day. I'd love to meet those 117 goddamn vampires who love the moon's embrace. Those night monsters. We've got a lot of responses across the political spectrum. Gus Bilirakis from Florida says that Americans are ready to- Affiliation? Affiliation? Gus Bilirakis said Americans are ready to ditch the switch, saying that changing the clock twice a year creates unnecessary disruption. I agree with you, Gus.
Good, Gus.
He said, in my home state of Florida, where tourism is a cornerstone of our economy, having more predictable daylight hours is a practical improvement that benefits workers, businesses, and visitors alike. So there we go. extra magic hours government mandated listen we politicians pride ourselves on listening to people that have been saying shit for the last 40 plus years about how we don't like Daylight Savings Time. And if it tells you anything about the backlog of stuff we have to get to, we went ahead and took care of that one. This is like a 1985 thing. We've been cooking. I know the wheels turn slow, but we've been cooking on this one for 41 long years. We have to get it done. Now, Mary Gay Scanlon's against it.
She says millions of Americans will wake up during the winter months. She's from Pennsylvania. I hear you. In complete darkness with the sun not rising until long after people get up and travel to school or work and have to go about their days.
Yeah, that's right. Both of these times are bad.
Yeah, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. What about this? How about we all stop working?
I got that! That's a cool one. I like that. Now, Jim McGovern takes a Travis approach. He did support the bill, but didn't know why they were talking about it. Awesome.
