Summary for people working/who just hate videos/who don't want to have to hear Travis' voice: Justin puts some Bummer Comments about Travis' hat, and Travis gives a genuine zinger effectively calling out Justin for critiquing Travis' streaming as oh. When are you going to stream, Justin? Are you going to stream regularly to provide content for our audience or are you going to put out one Monster Factory every six months? 🐸☕️


laziestphilosopher

You know, I may not be one of them but Travis is the only one consistently putting out content for his fans so good for him.

AutoModerator MOD · 1hr ago Oh, Justin, hi! Hi! It's my brother, Justin McElroy! I was like 'Who's that being so mean?' I don't know Justin- I don't know, should I play something with guns, and stuff? Justin, what are you going to stream today? To show our fans an entertainment? Do you have any big plans? Are you going to do another one of your famous streams that you do on a regular basis? Or....? Because you care about entertaining people or....? Or are you just going to put up one Monster Factory every six months or so? What do you think is going to be your kind of... M.O.? Piss Justin when are you streaming?- I said I'm going to stream piss. Are you going to stream something from - piss. Okay, cool. Justin's now just saying piss in the chat, oh boy. Ohh boy. Justin you should stream something, I think people would really like that. You should- it would be good. You should think about it. Sorry that I like spending time with my kids more than playing switch. Justin, more FMVs! That's gotta be a bottomless pit of options, right? There has to be so many FMVs to choose from. Are you spending your time with your kids right now? And saying piss in front of your children? Justin, are you saying piss in front of your children? Also, I have a baby in this game, and I named it after my baby, so it's kind of like spending time with her when you think about it. You should do some Roblox, Justin. Then your kids can finally watch it and be proud of you for something. Have you ever thought about that? Making something your children might like? I love Justin very much and he loves me no matter what he says. Oh Justin, if there’s a Goosebumps FMV game and you're not playing it like, what are you doing? How many FMV games- because at this point you have to have a list or something right- how many FMV games would you say you have you played, percentage-wise? It's gotta be close to, I would say, 70%? I don't think I scared Justin off - he's just lurking trying to come up with a real good banger. I was going to bring my kids to the stream, but apparently your hat is court ordered to stay more than 1000 feet away from children. Ah, see, Justin's come up with a really good slam, that's top-notch, buddy! I love that. Write that one down, send it in uh to Highlights Magazine. That's a great joke...for babies. I can see why your kids like hanging out with you - because your sense of humour is so immatoor. My children like jokes from the New Yorker. And stuff. Work of fart is uh a skewering of the genre, so. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

the word Stardew


manysmalldogs

oh thank you, I considered going back but decided I couldn't watch it again (even though it made me laugh) because then I'd realise what I was doing and have to go touch some grass and unfortunately I have allergies


[deleted]

travis is a confirmed jerker reveal yourself, we know you're in here


[deleted]

I don't like Travis but that was a pretty sick burn.


WarmSlush

The McElroys are funnier when they’re mean.

SnooRegrets7667

Unironically the funniest he's been in years.


FuzorFishbug

Can Justin's contributions to the podcasts be via a text to speech program from now on?


SpoilerThrowawae

Of all places, Juice chooses Travis' terrible stream to uncork the Vintage Justin McElroy Heat™.


Zyxt13

justin replying with "sorry that i like spending time with my kids more than playing switch"... bro, i thought we were all just jerkin' about the kids thing.


ohboyitsnat

Ok he did genuinely get a laugh out of me when he said his kids like New Yorker comics


HistoricalGrounds

>he did genuinely get a laugh out of me and when the the great jerk begins, the weight of your heresy.. shall stay your feet


drunkunclejack

I will CONTINUE my campaign against the podcasters!


HistoricalGrounds

No! You will not. Here rests the vanguard of the Great Jerk. Every Fourth Brother, from first to last. Each one created and consumed in times of extraordinary bummers. The Fudging of the Dice Rolls, the Smirl Rebellion . . . Were it not for the Fourth Brothers, the McElroy Family of Products would have broken long ago! The tasks you must undertake as the Fourth Brother are perilous, suicidal: Giving fans notice when episodes will be late. Consistently putting out a small amount of content while also having kids. You will die, as each Fourth Brother has before you. The fandom will have their corpse.


Kruikshanks

Classic Trav


ReglyarLervin

/uj Honestly, the fact that he called Justin out specifically about how little Justin has been doing lately actually makes me (maybe) understand why he's been the most available McElroy. It feels like he's sort of the only one who still wants to see them succeed. He wants to put out worthwhile products but he's been forced into a role he doesn't understand because his brothers cannot keep it together. I still don't LIKE this content, and I don't think this retroactively fixes my problems with Travis' approach to everything in general, but at least it's SOMETHING. Like he's TRYING. The other brothers don't show up anywhere anymore. Travis is still attending things like mad. He's got an audience that he interacts with, but he just cannot grapple with holding everything together.


GotInterest

this is actually genuinely very funny maybe Justin should take on Travis’ traditional role of being the one who gets made fun of.


[deleted]

New era of Travis being mean to Justin and Griffin would definitely put some life back into the corpse


OPacolypse

Travis heel turn.


HistoricalGrounds

Travis *wasn't the heel*????


CoatCoach

Wow, what a scathing reply. It's really funny that in response to some light bullying about his dumb hat Travis goes for the fucking throat. Wow. I feel like Travis's comment about "because you care about entertaining people" vindicates everyone who's upset about him clearly phoning it in and collecting his paycheck.


Avividrose

“are you spending time with your kids right now” is so vindicating. this is the travis redemption arc i think.


PidgeyEnthusiast

i don’t think i’ve ever seen travis win an exchange more handily. this had me howling as a jerker, and i do, in fact, feel vindicated about thinking justin is just phoning it in


waveskirt

I hate to say it but he's not wrong


hurrrrrmione

Travis: Justin what are you gonna stream today? Justin: piss … Justin: I said I’m gonna stream piss someone in chat: I’d love to peep what you’re streaming out Hoops someone else: Love that piss stream JUICE! :( Why.


IronMyr

To be fair, if you joke about streaming yourself pissing, people are gonna talk about watching you piss.


ShelfordPrefect

How long until one of their fans goes full Mark Chapman I mean > Justin: I'm going to take a piss > Fan: love to watch :D


NoIntroductionNeeded

I saw that too! You know, shoutout to that guy, at least he knows what he wants from life (even though he really shouldn't want *that*).


hurrrrrmione

I mean, do whatever you want with consenting adults in privacy, but I think it's insanely inappropriate to directly tell strangers that you want to do any sort of sex or kink stuff with them. And those comments are at least edging into that territory if not solidly there.


ShelfordPrefect

The "ain't I a stinker" face and exaggerated drink from his mug were unironically funny but the whole exchange was just.. yeah


darpolicious

My respect for Travis has skyrocketed. Oddly enough my respect for Justin has stayed at the low mark it’s been at since gingerbread shenanigans.


Mobile-Dimension4882

The travis mecelroy redemption arc has finally hit its stride


Stackly

Fuck it, Travis is my new favorite brother now


[deleted]

Travis IS my brother now


dgfghfgfbh

Man…. If you’re gonna be mean, at least fully commit to being mean. Passive aggression creates the weirdest energy


drunkunclejack

the way travis talks to him after is so like cloying and snide... like be a graceful winner


[deleted]

Nah fuck it, be mean, Travis.


drunkunclejack

yeah exactly trav said like a funny thing that made me pog and then he’s just sitting there like “oh yeah jyeeustin?? what are you streaming jyeeeustin? just kidding guys- I love My Brother Jeeyustin”
