Published December 12th, 2017 Listen here on TheMcElroy.family Intro (Bob Ball): 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! [theme music plays] Griffin: Begin! [laughs] Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to My Brother, My Brother and Me, an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy. [crowd cheers] Travis: I'm your middlest brother, Travis McElroy. [crowd cheers] Griffin: And I'm your sweet baby brother and 30 under 30 media luminary, Griffin McElroy! [crowd cheers] Travis: Just real quick, two super technical things. One, there‟s a clock on the stage that I think is supposed to be counting down but it‟s not moving. Griffin: Here we go. Sometimes it feels like time‟s not moving when we‟re doing this show. Travis: And two, someone‟s recording this right? I didn‟t check this beforehand, but it‟s fine. Justin: We apparently are going to spend, you can‟t see this, we‟re going to keep up with the theme of things you can‟t also see. We are staring at two huge televisions that are just displaying our picture. The ones that were there, remember just a second ago? We‟re apparently going to be barreling those for just the entire— Travis: Don‟t take that away! No, don‟t take it away because it reminds how damn handsome I am.

  • Less Than Exciting Behaviors Associated with Unneutered
    1 c Less Than Exciting ASPCA Behaviors Associated With Unneutered Male Dogs! Periodic binges of household destruction, digging and scratching. Indoor restlessness/irritability. N ATIONAL Pacing, whining, unable to settle down or focus. Door dashing, fence jumping and assorted escape behaviors; wandering/roaming. Baying, howling, overbarking. Barking/lunging at passersby, fence fighting. Lunging/barking at and fighting with other male dogs. S HELTER Noncompliant, pushy and bossy attitude towards caretakers and strangers. Lack of cooperation. Resistant; an unwillingness to obey commands; refusal to come when called. Pulling/dragging of handler outdoors; excessive sniffing; licking female urine. O UTREACH Sexual frustration; excessive grooming of genital area. Sexual excitement when petted. Offensive growling, snapping, biting, mounting people and objects. Masturbation. A heightened sense of territoriality, marking with urine indoors. Excessive marking on outdoor scent posts. The behaviors described above can be attributed to unneutered male sexuality. The male horomone D testosterone acts as an accelerant making the dog more reactive. As a male puppy matures and enters o adolescence his primary social focus shifts from people to dogs; the human/canine bond becomes g secondary. The limited attention span will make any type of training difficult at best. C a If you are thinking about breeding your dog so he can experience sexual fulfillment ... don’t do it! This r will only let the dog ‘know what he’s missing’ and will elevate his level of frustration. If you have any of e the problems listed above, they will probably get worse; if you do not, their onset may be just around the corner.

  • Episode 249 Transcript: Hrishikesh Hirway Part 2
    EPISODE 249 TRANSCRIPT: HRISHIKESH HIRWAY PART 2 Lin-Manuel Miranda 0:00 [INTRO] Hi, I'm stage and stages Lin Manuel Miranda and you're listening to The Hamilcast. Gillian Pensavalle 0:18 Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Hamilcast. I'm Gillian and this is the second half of my conversation with Hrishikesh Hirway, you know from Song Exploder, The West Wing Weekly and a ton of other things. For real though he has the definition of nonstop. Last week in Episode 248 he told us all about his early connections to Lin and Tommy, how he created a song with Lin all about The West Wing... I'm sure you've heard it, his complicated feelings on musicals, and so much more. So definitely make sure you listen to that episode before listening to this one because if you don't, it'll be like trying to talk to Lin and Tommy without referencing The West Wing. It just.. it wont work. Oh, quick reminder that you can now get transcripts of new episodes as they're released, and the back catalogue episodes are being updated on an ongoing basis. All transcripts are at thehamilcast.com, as well as the show notes of the corresponding episode. If you're all caught up, I'll leave you to it. Here's Part Two with Hrishikesh Hirway. Gillian Pensavalle 1:13 I would love to really get into the details of that. Of just the the Wait For It episode specifically because Hrishikesh Hirway 1:19 Yeah Gillian Pensavalle 1:20 When Alex Lacamoire came over, he had three episodes and basically did what you did with Song Exploder with the Schuyler Sisters and just sort of anything like he came..

  • Branding the Iconic Ideals of Vivienne Westwood, Barack Obama, and Pope Francis
    PUNK, OBAMACARE, AND A JESUIT: BRANDING THE ICONIC IDEALS OF VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, BARACK OBAMA, AND POPE FRANCIS AIDAN MOIR A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION & CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2021 © Aidan Moir, 2021 Abstract Practices of branding, promotion, and persona have become dominant influences structuring identity formation in popular culture. Creating an iconic brand identity is now an essential practice required for politicians, celebrities, global leaders, and other public figures to establish their image within a competitive media landscape shaped by consumer society. This dissertation analyzes the construction and circulation of Vivienne Westwood, Barack Obama, and Pope Francis as iconic brand identities in contemporary media and consumer culture. The content analysis and close textual analysis of select media coverage and other relevant material on key moments, events, and cultural texts associated with each figure deconstructs the media representation of Westwood, Obama, and Pope Francis. The brand identities of Westwood, Pope Francis, and Obama ultimately exhibit a unique form of iconic symbolic power, and exploring the complex dynamics shaping their public image demonstrates how they have achieved and maintained positions of authority. Although Westwood, Obama, and Pope Francis initially were each positioned as outsiders to the institutions of fashion, politics, and religion that they now represent, the media played a key role in mainstreaming their image for public consumption. Their iconic brand identities symbolize the influence of consumption in shaping how issues of public good circulate within public discourse, particularly in regard to the economy, health care, social inequality, and the environment.
