What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.
Hello, everybody, and 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, Aaron Millis, mother of Travis Big Dog, Wolf of Vroom Vroom, the heater, award-winning McElroy. What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, sweet baby brother, Griffin, 30 under 30, media luminary, McElroy. Wrap those belts around your textbooks, tighten them up, polish the apples. Polish Papa's apples today because we're getting back into school and we're just three cool teens ready to hit you guys up with some cool tips on how to get ready and take over the new dog house. What's the hottest backpack of the year? A garbage bag slung over your shoulder like Santa.
I was surprised, too. I like Travis's thing, actually. Get rid of backpacks entirely. Belt around the books. Whatever happened to belt around the books? Belt around the books and individual chalkboards for everyone to write their answers on. Paper is expensive. Little chalkboards, yes. Little chalkboards for everybody. You can't meet the certain somebody you're dreams if you can't carry their books home. Can't carry their books home if they have a backpack. That's wild. Can I carry your books home? I have a backpack. That would be, what would you, you'd look like some sort of camel. I can't allow it. I'll tell you what else the kids are getting. Belt practice. Belt practice. Practice fastening belts. It's hard and no one's really preparing anyone.
I don't know that either of my boys who are ages nine and five have ever worn a belt or had cause to wear a belt. Yeah. Not a joke. They've just never worn a belt. It doesn't come up. Same way that they haven't had suspenders on their body.
That's a huge missed opportunity.
I know, I know, I know. They're cute as buttons and they'd be great. Some little suspenders look like a couple of Werther's Originals boys. Squeeze them so tight. Little Orville Redenbacher's over there. Little Orville Redenbacher's, but they've never worn a belt. They won't know how to do it. They need the practice. Tell me you don't have a Christ-centered household without telling me you don't have a Christ-centered household, Griffin. Because if your boys do not have reason to wear belts, they are not in the house of the Lord. Or suspenders. I mean, suspenders. Or suspenders. On Easter. Little straw hats. Even Christers are getting in there with the suspenders. What's those? What's Christers, Precious? Christers are the people that only go to church on Christmas and Easter.
That's the derogatory term we used to use for, or Mom used to use for people i mean that's hey fair dinkum man you we're we're out here two sometimes three times a week putting in the fucking hours putting in the effort when people think the church is just being cleaned by a janitor i'm in there like with some sort of slip and slide or like learning my i'm in there on pat's computer playing fucking stunts 3d like i'm in there playing mind sweepers Sometimes you go to church Sunday morning, and then as a child you think, oh, good, it's done for the day. And then your parents are like, guess what? There's a Sunday evening service we're going to this week. Inconsistent, but wild. I already did church today.
Let me hit you with a Bible. Not actually literally, but let me hit you with, as long as we're not putting our bags in backpacks. That way everybody's going to be seeing sort of what we're working with. Algebra. Algebra. Trigonometry, The Essential Calvin and Hobbes, a Bible.
