MBMBaM 486: That's So Hambone! Published on November 19th, 2019 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, "(It's a) Departure" by The Long Winters, plays] Justin: Hello, and welcome to My Brother, My Brother and Me, an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Just-Sven McElroy. [makes reindeer noise] Travis: I'm your middlest brother, "[singing] Do you want to build a Travis?" McElroy. Justin: Eugh. Grizzly. Griffin: I'm your sweet baby brother, Griff-Frozen McElroy 2. And this time, it is Frozen 2 Watch, and this one is Frozen 2 Watch. Travis: Listen, boys, we can talk about character all day long. Everyone's already doing that. They're saying, you know, they're saying, "Thank Gad, he's back. It's Olaf again." Justin: Well... Travis: You know, there's all kinds of those cool, like, Hollywood Reporter headlines. You know, that kind of stuff. Justin: [simultaneously] Thank Gad he's back. Travis: I don't want to talk about characters. Griffin: Gad-damn it, we're so fucking ready for this... Travis: Gad-damn it, I've prepared myself for the snowman. Griffin: Right. Travis: Yes. Griffin: What are we doing instead? 'Cause that sounds really good to me. Travis: I want to talk about predictions. Justin: ... Okay. Griffin: I've seen the movie, so this is going to be tough for me. Travis: Okay, well— Justin: How have you seen the movie? Did you get the early screening? Griffin: I got the early screening for this one, and I saw all of her new powers, and it's kind of—I don't want to spoil it. I guess hold your ears for the next few seconds if you don't want it spoiled, but it's fucked up how many powers they gave her in this one. Travis: Okay. Here's my question, 'cause this is one of my theories, and I want to see if it pays off, alright? Everyone's saying, like, there's gonna be other people with other powers, and like, Elsa has like, frozen powers... Griffin: Right. Travis: ... and there's gonna be someone with ice, or someone with fire... Griffin: Yes. Yeah. Travis: ... and somebody with like, I don't know, whatever Fall is. Is there someone who can control human flesh? Justin: Whoa. Griffin: There is a flesh—a fleshmancer, is what they call it. Travis: Okay. There is somebody who just has a song that's like, "[singing] Do you want to build a... man?" and they can do that. Griffin: Yeah, and it's—so most of the songs—and Trav, I'm glad you brought this up, and again, spoilers, but most of the songs in Frozen 2 are parodies of Frozen 1. They are sort of— Justin: [laughs] This is huge. Did they get Al? Tell me they got Al! Griffin: Uh, they got Al. Al plays Magic Al, the Fleshmancer. Uh, he's in it, he's got a little um, a little Olaf, but instead of snow, it is of course skins and bones and muscles and... muscle groups and teeth. Travis: Is it still cute? Griffin: ... It's—you know, it's Disney cute. Um, it's not really my cup of tea. I'm more of a Dreamworks guy, but uh... Justin: [laughs] Griffin: ... it's cute as—cute as they can render it, and so there's that. Uh, there's um, "Let it—" uh, "Let it Po," and so Po from Kung Fu Panda shows up in that one. Travis: Oh, that's good. Justin: [laughs] What—what—oh, this is the great Dreamworks crossover we've craved. Griffin: No, you know what's fucked up? Is they never even acknowledge... Dreamworks, or the character or the plot. Travis: Really? Griffin: It's almost like they got sort of the computer assets for it off the DVD for Kung Fu Panda, and just sort of put his skin in a movie. Travis: Oh, you know, guys, I'm reading here, Smoking Gun, a leaked copy of the script. Griffin: Yeah. Travis: And they also—there's a song in here called "Glove is an Open Door..." Griffin: Yeah. Travis: ... where the Hamburger Helper glove shows up? Griffin: The Hamburger Helper glove does show up. And... Travis: He's in it? Griffin: He's in it for—it's more of like a ca—like, blink and you'll miss it. He does do a whole song, though. Travis: But it's just really fast, or it's just miss-able? Griffin: Uh, yeah. For—and then there's, um, "For the First Ti—" hold on, I'll get it. Travis: Uh-huh. Justin: Come on, you'll get it. Travis: Get it. Griffin: "For the... First Time—" Justin: "For the Worst Time..." Griffin: "...in For-Evan Rachel Wood." Wait, she's in it. She's actually in it. Justin: She's in it. That's not a good one. Travis: How about—how about "[singing] LeAnn Rimes Forever"? Griffin: LeAnn Rimes—what? Yeah. LeAnn— Travis: That's right. LeAnn Rimes. Griffin: They do two of that song. One with Rachan Nevel—Rachan Nevel Wood, who's her evil sister. Travis: [crosstalk] Justin: [laughing] Griffin: There's a lot of evil sisters in this one. Uh, of course, Princess Frozen is back. This time, her arm turns into a sword, and uh... Travis: Then there's also uh, "He's a Bit of a Fixer-Upper," but this time it's Chip and Joanna Gaines singing it? Justin: Oh, that's so funny! Griffin: Yeah, and that's fucking hysterical. Travis: So good! Griffin: They get back together in the movie, and so it happens in real life too, I think. Um... Justin: Griffin, I'm sorry. I have to—I'm busy calling a doctor because of that Chip and Joanna Gaines humor that I crave. Travis: 'Cause it's a fixer-upper! Justin: No, Travis, if you explain it to me, I'm gonna bust a fuckin' nut from... Griffin: [bursts into laughter] Justin: [through laughter] I can't think about it anymore. Travis: "[singing] This show is called Fixer-Upper." Justin: Oh, my God. No, you can't actually sing it! That's too bad. Travis, you're so bad. Travis: Oh, I am bad. I'm naughty. Griffin: Um... Justin: Hey, Trav, tell me you got some other Frozen parodies in the hopper. Travis: Oh, let me see. Griffin: Are there that many other songs? Justin: What about—okay. What did we do? We did—okay. Let me go through. There's "Love is—" uh, you could do a parody of the—the first one. Griffin: The one that's like [mimics singing]? It's hard to do the jokes on that one. Travis: I feel like you nailed it. Justin: [simultaneously] Why is it? Griffin: Well, it's mostly just sylla—it's just vowels. Justin: Yeah. It's not our language. Travis: "[singing] Air and mountain rain combining!” Griffin: Uh, yeah. They do sing a song about the ice. That one's a little on-the-nose. That one was good. We can keep that one in Frozen 2. And by we, I mean— [crosstalk] Justin: "[singing] Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining!" I didn't know there were really real words to this. This is amazing. Griffin: "[singing] There's a big, big ghost on the mountaintop and there's snow on the top of the mountains, too." Is the—the words. Justin: "[singing] Split the ice apart, and break the frozen... fart!" Travis: Nice! Justin: [laughs] Griffin: Justin, that's really good! Hey, send them a email for Frozen 3, and let them know that you're ready to come back in, and um... I know you were uninvited from the set of Frozen 2. Say—ask if it's time for you to come back, if they forgive you. Justin: They should give me for f— Travis: Also, this is fun, Olaf sings a love song about Summer Glau. Griffin: Oh, that's fun. Also, in this one, Olaf's got a snowy dick. Travis: Woah! Okay. Justin: And he starts calling himself— Travis: It's funny you should say that, 'cause right after I said he sings the song about Summer Glau, I realized how inappropriate it was that the song was like, "How happy I'll be in Summer." Griffin: Yeah. Travis: And then you, like you were reading my mind, said, "I'm gonna take a little bit of heat off of Travis," no pun intended, "and make it even more inappropriate." Griffin: Yeah. Justin, say something even more controversial than I just said, please. Justin: [holding back laughter] And now he's calling himself Snowlaf, and it's like, that's nothing! Travis: Huh. Griffin: Yeah. Travis: That is, I guess, inappropriate in a different way, in that this is a comedy show, and so that was probably an inappropriate thing to say for that format. Justin: ... Snowlaf. Griffin: Yeah. Justin: You're already—are you sure? Griffin: So—yeah, he does—he's got a dick in this one, but it's never in frame.
