A clip from episode 365 of My Brother, My Brother, and Me. This audio comes from the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me and belongs to the McElroy brothers.
I think after the first episode with elevators, more were included out spite because people were like, noooo, you can't have elevators in this fantasy game
FUN FACT: The man who invented the safety elavator that is commonly used today demonstrated the safety of his system by cutting the line in front of a crowd and falling 50 feet only to be completely safe.
@@zz8az it's not how far you fall, it's how quickly you stop. one assumes this was a nice slow 50-foot fall, because the point of safety elevators is they can't go very fast even if they wanted to. Too much friction, and dead-man's brakes if I'm not mistaken. However, 50 is a lot of feet to fall. I mean what if the elevator failed on the 2nd floor, you'd hit the bottom before it stops.. but that's okay as long as it was falling slowly.
One of my favorite bits, especially Griffin's "hungry mouth full of gears." My one question is, if Travis had an elevator drop by one floor while staying at a hotel with his brothers for a live show, why didn't he tell this _horrifying_ story to them then? Or did the free snacks placate him so thoroughly that he forgot about it?
