My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 377: Face 2 Face: One Great Potato!

Episode Date: October 24, 2017

Here's our most recent live show from the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in beautiful Nashville, TN! It features a new, fresh take on audience questions, and probably the greatest Haunted Doll Watch of all time.

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 mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. It's familiar, but not too much. But not too much familiar.

It's a new place, and they go, do you want it? Just say, hey, I want it. Just say, hey, I want it. Hello everybody, and welcome to my brother. My brother made an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-est brother, Travis McElroy. And I'm your sweet baby brother in 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy. That was pretty even. Thank you. Good balance, everyone. I assume when everyone screams as loud as they possibly can, it all works out the same.

Because there's a cap on pure human joy. Do you want to clarify before we go on, you may be looking and think, did Travis change clothes between trainers? No. This show is reversible. I just want to make that clear. He called Levi's, and he's like, I'm doing two in a row. Is there anything you can do for me? And those fucking fashion wizards. They did it.

I feel very good. Yeah. Yeah. And you may be asking why. Is it the energy of Nashville? Is it to our life? It's not. Is it just that we've gotten good at this? Is it the excitement of Nashville crowds, which I tell everyone are the best crowds in the world? It's not.

It's not that. It's not that. It's salad, baby. You're looking at three genuine salad boys. Oh. And I know what you're thinking. Certainly someone made them get salad. No. Or did it on their own?

This is completely voluntary. This is not a cookie points transaction or investment situation. This was three adults who said, do you know what would be good for my human body? Right. Salad. And everyone in the room went, oh. Now we've been on the road for like two days. So like it's taken a serious toll.

You're joking, but I'm not. Road Griffin makes choices that home Griffin would not this morning for breakfast. This morning I had two big, big muffins, a bag of Skittles and a whole can of Pringles before 10 a.m. If I was sitting in my living room watching Teen Titans go with my child and wife, I would not say, you know what would be good breakfast? It would not involve Skittles and a whole can of Pringles. I can guarantee you that much. Now I don't know about you guys.

I don't want to speak for you, but the sort of arc that I went on this evening was intellectually saying, I should have a salad. The poops have been strange today. And then intellectually saying that. And then when dinner arrived, I went on a spike like this, oh, hell yeah, dinner. And then I was like, ah, shit. That's right. I got a salad.

But then at my lowest point, which was one of the worst things ever happened to me, because I could have gotten anything and I did get salad. As I started to eat it, my body was like, like fucking Wesley and Buttercup emerging from the lightening sands. Like, oh, thank God. Vitamins, nutrients. Thank you. The amazing thing about this is I actually. Hold on.

That was really funny. Just let him finish laughing. No. Okay. I experienced the exact inverse of this this afternoon. Griffin and I and Paul. Travis made some fucking decisions at Puckets. I went to Puckets and I ordered four appetizers.

No, F-O-R. And F-O-U-R actually. F-O-U-R for appetizers. I got fried green beans, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles. And then we also got the sausage and cheese. He did that. He ordered that trio of literally everything in the appetizers menu that said fried on it. And I instinctively went like, holy fuck.

And I said this out loud in a restaurant I've never been to in this city. No shit. I ordered those three things. Rapid fire. The server went, wow. She actually said, awesome. Yeah. Like it was probably the first time.

And so I was very excited spiritually to order these things. And then I started consuming them and my body, like the other father in Coraline just like melted. And my body started to consume this earthly decadence. What we are saying is that these were prescription salads. Right. These were medicinal salads. Right.

So this is an advice show. What does that mean? Well, we tell you what to do. Now, if you've never listened to this before and you've just heard this bit, you might be thinking, I probably shouldn't do what they tell me to do. We'd be right. Chase that instinct. Follow that.

Follow that. Don't lose sight of that. The first question from someone who supposedly is in the audience tonight. Supposedly. A lot of liars listen to our chat. We'll see. I don't know. Plans change.

Sure. Okay. I don't know what will be more important. Life finds a way. Let's read the first question. I'm trying to, you guys are talking. I'm a poor college kid working the graveyard shift in a big office building. During the night, many of the office floors aren't used.

Some weeks when I'm a little tight on money, I'll grab some of the food from the other floors, fridges, most being from corporate lunches, not personal lunchboxes. Am I good? This isn't stealing technically, right? What do I say if someone catches me one night? And that's from Raccooning in Kentucky. And you said most. Yeah.

That's a very, that's a critical most. I'm going to rewind that most. I steal food most being from corporate lunches, not personal lunchboxes. So you said most. So like usually, but sometimes it's Gerald's lasagna. And now that we've pointed out your evil, are you here? Yes. Yes.

Yes. You are here. Okay. All right. You're just a little sheepish about it. And I get it. Is Gerald here? Because we got the guy.

We got him. We got him, Gerald. The sting worked. It's a long calm, but we got him. You know the thing about, I love about Gerald's lasagna. What's that, Justin? The cheese is so nice and bubbly. And his mom made it for him.

And also it's Gerald's and not yours. Yeah. The cheese tastes great. And the fact that you're depriving Gerald of his motherly gift is. I've always had lasagna stolen a sweeter than lasagna earned. Indeed. Travis indeed. Indeed.

I've never heard the question phrase, this isn't technically stealing right. Where the answer was, yeah, you're fine. Right. Because what it should be, it's actually the reverse is true. It is technically stealing. It is. You are taking something that's not yours and making it yours. And appropriating it for yourself.

That's stealing. But what you're asking is, what is it stealing? You also use the term raccooning to refer to yourself and nobody's ever seen a raccoon going through their garbage or picnic basket and thought like, oh, tight. Right. Oh, thank God. Now I don't have to worry about that sandwich I was going to eat. Right.

No one ever sees a raccoon combing their yard and thinks, man, I hope he found the rotten turkey I saved for him in my trash. Like you didn't save it for the raccoon. The raccoon is taking what they want. But it's not even that because like this isn't food someone was discarding. Indeed. They were saving it for later and you said, no, you're not. You are saving it for me.

Maybe the Quiznos party platter was a little bit too much party than this office could handle and it would end up in the dumpster. That's what I'm saying. I think there's an arc that goes through when you're buying food in bulk and you bought too much and there's like one of the containers of like soup doesn't get even open. You feel really bad about it. I'm going to save this and figure out something to do with it. And then the fridge does its grim work and a week later it is trash.

Like, oh, I got to throw this away and you can feel great about it because the fridge sort of babysat like the fridge is like hot. The fridge is sometimes like food hospice. It's a trash incubator is what you're the fridge carefully, gradually, lovingly and in an appropriate setting where family are welcome, shepherds, the food to death. And then you can feel great about throwing it away because, well, it's done its job and I didn't throw it away when it was good and edible. So what was the question?

I think it's a victimless crime except Gerald. Gerald is a victim. Gerald has been victimized. Otherwise you're, I think you're good. It's just, it's corporate food. Steal from, eat the riches sandwiches. I guess what I'm saying. That is a power move.

If you're like, hey CEO, your pastrami was great. But you don't say it. Oh, don't say it. But you know it. How about a yahoo from the great yahoo answer service? This one was sent in by Gina Inviere. Thank you, Gina. Now who answers user Morgan, who asks, how do I sell a single potato?

I managed to grow only one big potato in my yard. Just, just wondering where I could sell it. How much can I get for it? The type is a King Edward potato. It's, you know, it's wild to me that you would work all that time and get one potato. And your first thought is, I got to sell this bad boy. Like, did you, you really didn't want a potato, huh? You just got one and you're like, I have to divest myself with this potato.

Right. The skill level of your, your horticulture game is not apparently awesome because you only got the one. I can't imagine it's the most luscious potato ever grown. Right. To be fair, they do say one big potato. How big? I mean, if you let a potato grow, it can get, as far as I understand, infinitely large.

Perhaps they are amazing. They have a really green thumb, but this one big potato consumed all the other smaller potatoes. Yes, it's an Akira potato. I feel bad for this cat the first time they saw the Martian though. Cause like that's got to be demoralizing, huh? He grew that, this guy went to space, grew potatoes in his shit and from nothing on space in Mars.

And then he got like enough to live forever on them. This guy did one in his yard with presumably potato food and special seed. Where potatoes belong. The Martian benefited, those potatoes benefited from having Matt Damon's dookie all over them, which is, as we all know, the most wonderful fertilizer around. Right. He might also have been disheartened just cause he's a really big Matt Damon fan and the idea of Matt Damon being trapped on Mars really bumped him out.

Cause he can't make a lot of movies up there. No. Just the one. Yeah. Everything you just said made a lot of sense to me. Here's the thing. You can't go to a farmer's market and somebody walks up to your booth and you have one potato sitting on some sort of column with a velvet cloth on it with a spotlight shining down

on the potato. Like you're a fucking like vendor in Legend of Zelda like 90 rupees for my only potato sold out. Bye. You are, you're wrong Griffin. And let me tell you why. Let me tell you why you're incorrect. What people love these days, farm to table, locally sourced, small batch.

Yeah. Imagine if you were walking through a farmer's market and someone caught your attention and said, would you like to be the only human to ever eat one of my potatoes because you could, you could like the next day like be talking to your friends like, I mean I had the most amazing potato last night and they said, Oh, that sounds great. We're going to prove it. And you're like, you can't. You can't.

I was mine. I call them potatoes. And yes, as you've guessed, my name is Bo and it's the one. It's the only one I'll ever grow in my life. This is a bespoke potato. As you can see, I wrote 2017 on it to help me remember that this is not this year's potato. You just take small slices off it every day. A potato this good.

You don't eat. This is Bo. This is Bo to table and I've made it just for you. Apparently if you buy it, it's $35. I know you're asking, is it magical? Will it make a big potato stalk stalk into the heavens? I can't legally say yes, but my lawyers have been very clear. Also, they've made some very competitive bids for the potato.

You should act fast. How about another question? Justin. Okay. Gotcha. Hello, but my, I was locked. Hello, brothers. It wasn't.

If you were up there, you saw I was lying and I just spaced out for a second. But for you down here, the illusion was perfect. See, you thought you had bad seats, but apparently you had the fucking investigative seats up there where you can catch me in all my dirty tricks. Anyway, and stop reading the head. It's very small down here. You can't see, but it's very small. The tight.

I don't have a hard time actually. Yeah. Did you think the salad's turning on you in some way? Oh God, you washed the salad before you ate it, right, Justin? Hello, brothers. With candlelight's fast approaching, my mother gave me some diamond earrings to give my fiancé because she does not wear them anymore. So many in the audience went, ooh.

And wanted for me to pass them down through the family. My question is, should I tell her that they were nice earrings that my mother wanted me to give her? Let me, yes. Or can I pretend that I spent money on real diamond earrings for one of the best candlelight's gifts ever. That's from candlelight's confused in Cooper'sville and you're not confused. That's not what that word means. You know the answer already. What is your fucking long game here?

Are you here? You can't, yes. Good chase, also chase that instinct to not identify yourself. Because you may be here with me. This is how this vignette plays out, honey. Merry Christmas. Oh, these are beautiful. Pop, pop, puts them in.

Thank you, honey. Mom walks in room. Oh, I see you got the earrings I gave my son to give you. Boom, wedding's off. Yeah. There's only one answer and I'm certain you've already guessed it. If your head's stuck in 2015, you gotta bring your mom in on the griff. Hey, can your mom hang?

Mom, I have a griff. No, I told you I was out. I ran my last one. Once you were born, I was out of the game. It got too hot. We lost too much on the Biloxi job. Hey, Dylan, I love your new girlfriend. She's really nice and we have similar interests and she seems like a fucking patsy.

I'm gonna take her down. Seems like I got easy mark. Are you bringing Susan to Thanksgiving? That chump? Yeah, fucking chump. Does she own any land? Keep the con going. We're just getting started.

We're in too deep, Dylan. You can't back out on me now. The danger, of course, is that your mom gets deep in the grift and then she can't get out the grift. And then it's like every two weeks she's texting you, like, found another fucking mark. This guy's such an idiot. He works it with me at Amazon. Jabra and accounting just got an inheritance. I've got another pair of diamond earrings.

Oh, this must have just slipped right off your ears. How would that work? Yeah. Mom, is that a gun? Are you carrying a gun all the time now? It's just... It's hot out there. It's hot out there, you know.

What? It gets hot out there. How have we got to change the subject? Also, are you hungry? Do you want a sandwich? Here's an answer. First one's free. Oh, no.

I lost who sent this yahoo in. I'm gonna find it by Googling it. It's also by Gina Enviere. Thank you, Gina. It's yahoo answers user PaulT asks, How does wearing khaki pants make you feel? Should I have said that like more breathy? Like...

How does carrying khaki pants make you feel? How does it feel? I can tell you how it makes me feel. Like I'm ready for anything, because you can get out into the jungles and have khaki pants. You can go to a nice dinner and have khaki pants. Those are the two things.

I'm almost done cutting through these branches, and then I'm going to go have a nice burger. At Applebee's. Say they're flexible garments. Khaki is the bridge pant, right? It takes you from maybe I'm gonna mow the lawn to maybe I've gotta attend some kind of fancy religious ceremony. Khaki pants go from day to evening, exactly Travis.

Thank you. That's why you always see James Bond. I mean... I like your pleat, Mr Bond. They don't go from day to evening as much as they go from your house to your shift at Best Buy. 99% of my khaki wearing took place at some sort of retail job where it was required.

And by the way, I only had the one pair of khakis, by the way. So if you saw me, it wasn't for a fancy event, because those boys were probably not so... Bad boys. Probably a bad stink. I've always called khaki pants the shrug of pants. He always says that. He says that all the time.

Because when you put on khaki pants, you're basically going, I don't know, pants? There are very few situations where khakis would be... Either like, if you go to something casual, it's like, well, look at you. Dressed up, huh? Khakis. And then if you're at a funeral, it's like,

I'll look at you. Thank you for coming. Oh, look at... Because they wouldn't mention it. It's a funeral. Like, what are you thinking? We're all going to miss Greg so much. But also, nice pants.

Nice khakis. Thank you. He would have loved those. How I feel when I wear khakis is constantly worried I'm about to drop chocolate on them. Yeah. You don't get that with a G. I don't worry.

I don't. I've never... If I'm wearing jeans and I drop something on them, it's like, I'll wash these. Drink it. Soak it in. Yeah. That's what jeans are for.

Jeans. Catch that stuff. Lick it up and love it. And they just look better. You get one drop of khaki. Maybe that's why Best Buy and associated retailers, by which I mean all of them, want you to wear khakis because they can tell

if you're a sloppy boy. Yeah. If you're like getting into some nasty stuff, they can keep tabs on you. I will say the other side of that is true, though. Because if I worked with someone at Best Buy and their pants stayed perfectly crisp and clean at the end of the day,

I'm like, you're not living. You're not doing anything. You're not doing it. Get out there. Make some mistakes. At Best Buy? Well... Like what?

I mean, you're basically talking about steely DVDs. It's all... It's all you mean. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. I got another question.

Here, let me get it open. Now it is really locked. This time just... Thank you, Griffin. Thank you for having my back for fucking once in our miserable lives. I really appreciate you. Not competitive.

Uh... Okay, here it comes. He closed it. He closed it. I didn't close it. It's the new iOS. I did it. We still live at home,

as does our 87-year-old grandmother. We live in harmony. It's nice. For the most part. Don't most people live at home? Fair. My gr... But, um...

You're really rat. You really burnt them up. Got them. But Granny has this terrible habit that we need your help to stop. Vaping. She just won't. She just cranks.

You know, you guys get on my nuts for... Just let me finish. See, I lost my place now. That's on you. The woman moves silently through our house. Despite having a large walker and an oxygen tank, she also chooses to have every conversation

in a whisper from about two inches from your face. She'll sneak up behind us and whisper things like, There's ham in the bottom drawer. Or... Do we need some more toothpaste? Our home is turning into a jump scare factory, and it's only a matter of time

before she gets home. It's a jump scare factory. And it's only a matter of time before she scares one of us so bad we come out swinging. Fucking hair trigger, man. It's your grandma, right? Pump the brakes.

There is no court of law that will let you go for that. You realize, right? Well, she scared me so bad. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It scared her. That's from should we put a bell on our grandma?

All so bad. Neither of these things are acceptable. And that's from should we put a bell on our grandma? And please say no from Beckley, West by God, Virginia. What's up? Are you here?

Currently, she's in Nashville. Yeah, what's up? What's up? Oh, yeah. Glad the home state is represented here. Don't hit your grandma. Hey, your grandma can be as scary as she wants. That's not a fucking invitation.

It's your grandma. You can't make her stop sneaking up on you because you can't make anybody older than 70 do anything. I do like that. In your mind, this is just a random happenstance of a conflagration of things that she does.

She's doing it on purpose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fucking funny. Yeah. Your grandma is hunting you. That's obvious. Yeah. You're not accidentally silent.

She's sneaking up on you to scare you. This is a pastime. She was born before the Xbox. She can't just go play Halo and hang out with Master Chief and all of her friends. Right. This is the game that she plays. She was born in the dark.

Right. You know what I mean? You want her to go from sneaking behind the Huns' enemy lines to collect intel to just like watching Maury Povich? She was a spy. Your grandma was a spy. A super CE spy.

Duh. Duh. That seemed obvious to me reading the question. She was a super sneaky spy. Uh-huh. Are you guys caught up on the Americans? I don't want to spy on anything. I haven't watched it.

That's what I was going to say. If you were expecting some sort of... Joke? Relevant. Thank you, Travis. That's the word. I have a thing I want to suggest, but I also don't want to suggest.

Well, let's take a poll. If you... If you spook your grandma just once in a similar fashion... Fine line. Immediately retracted. Immediately struck from the record. Immediately edited out. Oh, also, your grandma will hit you.

You could do that. She will give you one chance at that. She might be training. Like, why is it... Okay. I don't want to get combative. You know your grandmother lives in the house and she does this.

How is your head not on a swivel at this point? 24-7. 24-7. How are you not just like... Your grandma's like sneaking up behind you. Ah! She's like, that's what the world is like. Oh, she's trying to make you hard.

I want to make you strong and hard. You got to be tough, because one day it won't be me sneaking up on you. It'll be the Batman. One day it'll be Zorro. What? What are you talking about? It'll be the shadow.

Stop it. It's really old stuff. It'll be Fiverr, McGee, and Molly. Come on, Grandma. No. They're just making stuff. It was the... I had a bug on my iPad.

Let me see. It's that new iOS fan. Oh, shit. We have a Haunted Doll Watch coming in hot. This is rough. This is rough. This is Rose. Sorry, Ms. Merceredda.

It would be weird if their posting started with this rough. This is rough. It would be weird pretty much anyway. It started because it's an e-mail listing for a doll that is haunted. But let's just see what this one says. Haunted Dolls found in the storage after Grandma passed away. What just happened? Oh, shit.

Are you... Are you with us right now? I am having paranormal activity after bringing these dolls home. At first I was very scared, but now I'm spending more time with each doll in order to get a sense of their energy and give the buyer as much information as possible. I love this phrasing. I am what they call a sensitive.

Therefore, I am able to use all my senses and feel spirits. My grandma was a kind, loving spirit, and my angelica was a healer and a psychic in her country. Family business. Love that. Just like this podcast. She was fake and not real. She was a psychic. I like she was a psychic in her country.

She got over here and was like, I can't see shit. I don't know, man. I'm not getting this thing. I got direct TV now. I don't know. I was... I only do metric. I was taken care of by my aunt,

so I learned how to perceive and work with energy from an early age, and I'm using different forms of communication as a pendulum and automatic writing in order to give my buyers as much information as I can about my spirit dolls. This is... If you decided by any of my dolls, you need to establish your own way of communicating with your spirit. So it's like, listen, it's not that it doesn't work.

You just need to find your thing. Yeah, go your own way. My aunt Angelica, a renowned psychic and healer in Costa Rica, by the way, in case you're keeping track, we are not yet to the item description. These have just been bona fides at this point. So here's the doll vessel. It's five inches tall, porcelain, brown eyes.

That is quite little. That is quite a tiny doll, actually. Not so scary. It's a McDonald's Beanie Baby. This person got pretty buck wild with capital letters, so I'm going to try to emulate it as best I can. Rose is the embodiment of pure love. Her aura is pink.

And she is able to transmit her loving energy with beams of light. Sure. She has come through to help someone find their soulmate and bring loving people into recipient's life. She is an angelic spirit. It should be given respect and care. Recipient should place her on a nightstand with a pink candle where prayers should be made.

Oh, good. Good night. Have a good night. My personal experience with Rose. She emits a pink warm glow and warm sensations on your body. When you hold her, you're filled with love. Angels are the intermediates between God and humans. They are able to help us send and receive messages from God.

They are pure love and light and always by our side to help us. Disclaimer. No returns is the disclaimer on that. So that's Rose. You can just catch Rose on eBay right now. You can go get Rose. Why would you need that disclaimer? You just spent like four paragraphs saying,

if you pray to this doll, God will put cool people in your life. But no returns. If you touch this doll, you'll feel love for the first time and warm sensations over your body and God will talk to you through the doll. But all transactions are fine all. Holy shit. Yeah.

I will say I like a haunted doll that is actually an angel doll. Right. I like that. That's nice. It's not spooky. It's not spooky. It's not nice.

Yeah. We like to ignore the fact that angels are just ghosts that you do want around. To help you cheat at baseball. To help you cheat at baseball. Exactly. You want to know, who regularly your question? How about a regularly your question

and then maybe depending on how long the regular question goes, we can kick it to audience questions after that. Okay. Got it. Perfect. Here we go. Here it comes.

I need your help. I love my job. So you unlock the iPad and then you want to go to the Google Drive. I love my job, but there's one problem. My boss is obsessed with Taco Bell. He forces everyone on my team to eat there every week. Forces?

Forces. Open your fucking mouth. It's a kiss. Here we go. Tuck it down. Anytime one of us even suggests the different restaurant, he threatens to fire us. I used to actually enjoy the bell,

but after three years of eating under duress, it's lost its flavor. I have died. I am dead. And I am an adult. I'm writing to you from hell. How do I escape this Taco Friday trap but also keep my job that's from Southern Bell

to hell? Are you present? Are you with us? Benevolent spirit. I wear the spirit. Dead person. Okay. Now, there are many things that I am not.

And one of them is like a legal expert. Sure. But I'm pretty sure he can't fire you for that. Yeah. Do you have an HR? HR isn't just a mop with glasses on it that this boss created. It's just wearing a sign that says Taco Bell Yum Yum.

Let me get a number nine with three softies. That's what we call soft tacos in Austin, Texas. It's not catching on. I would love this. No. Because basically, whenever somebody asks me, I want to eat, the answer in my heart is Taco Bell. And there are other things in my body,

social, mental, economic, physical, sort of existential, things like that, snares that I put in place to keep myself from eating Taco Bell every meal. Is it beans? Is the first step in the flow chart. Beans are a good stop cap because there's no room in the tummy for nothing else. But if I had a boss that forced me to talk about it,

I think that would give me permission to sort of be like, well, I need this job. Wait. The question I was looking at is all wrong. What you have is the shortest path to promotion ever. Why? Because like on Thursday, you look at the boss like, you know what I'm craving.

Hey, little Taco Bell. Hey, man, brought in. I went to Taco Bell. I know. Oh, good. Love it. I had some extra. Do you want some?

I know you were considering Marsha for the big promotion, but you know what I heard? She is thinking inside the bun. So one thing about her is that could you start taking your boss out to lunch more and it's always Taco Bell and see if you could burn him out. Oh, what are you in the mood for? Just kidding. I know what you want.

Taco Bell. We just left the Taco Bell. I know. I thought you liked Taco Bell. Weird. I guess I like it way more than you. Weird. I thought you were the number one seatbel fan.

How is he, by the way, smoking crater of a bathroom at this fucking office building? Hey, not to get blue, but you are in a science experiment and you don't know it. I'm going to be working from home every Friday afternoon for the rest of my life. So I'm never coming to this building on Friday afternoons. I wonder if it's reached the point where the boss walks in to Taco Bell and the employees are like, no. No, dawg. Please, we care about you.

Taco Bell doesn't make its employees eat Taco Bell once a week. Like, seriously. Yeah, we've had a lot of turnover. We've had to outlaw the eating of the food. How about one more, Yahoo? This one was sent in by Level9000. Yadru Druid, Drew Davenport. Thank you, Drew.

It's from Yadru Answers user, Alex, who asks, what would happen if you put pets in virtual reality? Like a cat or a dog? Yeah, thank you. These are common pets. If they somehow figured out a way to transfer your nervous system and apply animals translate, would that main people could talk to their pets and would they be able to act like humans? Okay, like, stop.

Did you see the new season of Catfish? It was wild. A catfish got in the virtual world and pretended to be a human using the mind link. We are talking... These are two wildly different questions. Could my dog play super hot and also... Can I talk to my dog with my mind? Are you fucking with me?

One question is about putting a helmet on a dog and the other one's about fucking creating dog language and community. Like, we are probably going to need to pioneer that before we get into VR rather than trying to back into dog communication. Yeah, that would be a weird thing to fall into. Like, yeah, we were only going to make it to dog. What the fuck?

You want what? He just said he wanted a bone. It's just great. I think this is a dog. He looks like a virtual dude, but I have my suspicion. Could I put my pet in VR? And also, could I talk to my pet? And also, if I ate Fritos, would it make me fly?

And this is in a world where Fritos make you fly. So those are the other questions that are corollary on it. We do need to work that technology out first. Dog would bite it. Not enjoy the helmet experience for a bit. You would need to do the helmet and the cone. I have actually found that if I do FaceTime with my wife and the dog is around, the dog does not respond to me whatsoever.

So my thought process is, if you put the helmet on the dog, the dog would just sit there like, I don't know what to do with this. This smells like nothing to me. If you untell a million balls come flying at them, holy shit, I just turned the corner and I'm very into dog VR. I think dogs should be able to use virtual reality. There.

I think we should set it. Because imagine you're a little sweep up. And just a billion bones fall down from the sky. I can't make that happen for a dog. But like dog's second life could ostensibly make that happen. Dogs, you've been keeping your dog prisoner for years. This is the least you could do is to let them have a peek at the outside world. My dog would not do well in the outside world.

She is institutionalized. She is happy where she is. Your dog would look at you with some amount of betrayal. Like, this is what you've been doing the whole time? And you kept this from me? Like, of course. Why wouldn't you share this with me? This is fantastic.

This is incredible. There's a water slide. This is crazy. This is fantastic. And I can't die here? Wow. Hold on. Okay.

Wait. Stop. No, stop. Your dog does not know they're going to die. That's why they're so gized all the time. Don't eat it. Okay. You get VR.

The first thing you do in VR is just you learn dog language and then you use that to communicate the idea of mortality. And then your dog's going to be like, and I can shoot a bow and arrow and you're too amazing. Thank you for the goggles. I love it. And again, what about seven, one seventh as long as, okay, dog ears, I finally understand. I've been wondering what you guys meant by that, but thank you so much for clarifying. Fantastic.

Hey, everybody. This is Griffin McRoy. Thank you so much for listening to our live show from Nashville from our tour that we did this past weekend. We had a lot of fun down in the Southeast in Nashville and Atlanta. Thank you to everybody who came out to those live shows.

First message is for Ray and Kristen and it's from Rob who says, Happy First Anniversary Bear and Mrs. Bear. May you have many happy hibernations to come. And that's from Brother Bear. I don't know how these bears got a laptop in the forest unless of course it is those wonderful bears from We Bear Bears who do have a laptop in the forest and oh my god cartoons are real. All cartoons are real.

Congratulations on your anniversary Bear and Mrs. Bear or Ray and Kristen. I don't know if this is for humans or bears but it warms my heart either way. This next message is for Scott and that's Scott with one T and its from Tai who says, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, NCT, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott. Scott. And that's the end of the message. I don't know if I said enough Scots. I hope I did because I don't want to get any legal hot water. Scott, Ty is just really enthusiastic about your name,

and we're really enthusiastic about just sort of your whole life. Thank you again to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center for having us. Here in the next chunk of the show is the audience questions, and I wanted to preface that by saying we tried something new. We are sort of looking for a way to make the audience questions segment be a little bit more based around the audience actually asking questions instead of sort of saying like a funny thing or anecdote, which is very enjoyable, but it's not maybe the best launch pad for what we do in a live environment. So we try something new in this next segment where we have two people ask questions, and then we pick the one that we think we can help the most while still trying to help out the other person just in a much more brisk

manner. I think that it might come off as like mean or overly competitive at first, but I promise you that is never going to be the intention of it. It is just like a way for us to really hone in on the questions that are sort of best suited for this to make sure that we can answer the stuff that I think we can do the most good for or have the most fun with. I think it went really, really well, and I think we're probably going to do this moving forward because I think the audience had a lot of fun with it too. So I just wanted to preface that because I didn't want you to hear what we were doing and think like we had turned super shitty and wanted our live shows to turn into some sort of blood sport or anything. So yeah, I think that's probably it. Thank you to

John Rodgerick in the Long Winters for these four theme songs that are departure off the album Putting the Days to Bed. Thank you to Max Fun for having us go to maximumfun.org. Check out all the great podcasts there and yeah, I'm going to let you get back to the rest of the episode and the next one will be just a regular episode that is going to go up October 30th. All Hallows Eve Eve, I'm a ghoul. Bye. and participate in pseudoscientific medical treatments and report our findings to you. In a time where alternative facts reign supreme, we cut through the murky spin to give you the real deal on topics like UFOs, the IT vaccination movement,

Scientology, and even apocalyptic churches. We're even undercover for some very exciting investigations right now. Well, not right now, right now. Yeah, that would be unwise. That's Ono Ross and Carrie at maximumfun.org. We show up so you don't have to. Fantastic. On that uplifting note, should we turn it over to the audience? We should. All right, some ground rules. Please don't get up and line up in front of the mics. We're going to try some different stuff out. Who was at our Atlanta show last night? It's a lot of fun. Got a little out of hand. The audience question's part. We have some new stuff we want to try out. Justin came up with the idea. It might be a little mean,

so I want to let Justin explain what the rules of it are. It's not mean. It's not mean. It's fun. First, let me check on something. Do we have two microphones for audience usage? Yes, we do. Stage left, stage right. Stage left, stage right. Fantastic. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to have two people come simultaneously. And then. Amp versus Amp. No. In the program, in the program I've devised, they'll both do you want to play a game? They'll both tell us their questions. Then I will choose. No, we will hear your questions. And again, questions, not anecdotes. If you don't mind. I saw a cool kite at the park yesterday. Am I good? No, you're not actually, because I asked for questions. So questions. And then we will

choose who we can help the most. The other person we will appreciate, but their life is... A trapdoor will open immediately. They will be killed. They will be prestigeed. We're going to choose the person we can help most. And the other person will kindly take a seat, but we will very much appreciate them sharing their life with us for that brief moment. But that's how we're going to try to... We only have a limited amount of time to do audience questions, so we want to make sure we help people who need it the most, or we can do the most. And you know the other main role? Cool. Can we get even more house lights? It's kind of scary. Yeah, it's a little bit less us-like. Kind of looks like a million ghosts. And I'll let them pick while I go... Oh my god.

That is fantastic. Thank you. All right, I see a guy in a hat and somebody else is pointing to somebody. I see a shadow with a hat on and somebody's pointing. Yeah, yeah, you're waving your hat in here. You're good. Travis, somebody on the left. I'm looking. Okay. Gray long-sleeve shirt. Yep, yep. That person. We're good. All right. Here we go. Left and right. Let's start with you. What's your name? Zach. What's up, Zach? What's up? And what's your name? My name is Alan. Sorry? Alan. Alan. Alan. Alan with an E. Alan. Thank you. All right. Zach, here's Justin. All right, we've delayed long enough. Zach. I can hear everything. Honestly, if we had wireless mics, we could do the whole show from the can. And that is the ideal... Zach, what is your question?

We'll start with you because you were at the mic first. Okay. First thing, Justin, thanks for coming back. Appreciate it. No problem. So pretty soon going to become an uncle, my brother, and his wife are going to have a baby. That's typically how it works. Yes, yes. Yeah, ran the numbers. That's how it works. So my parents have started to do the whole like we're coming up with like what our grandparent names are going to be. Sure. And so for whatever reason, my dad thinks it's a good idea for his name to be Tarzan. Extremely good. So please, for the love of God, how do I tell my dad that that's an awful idea? And I do not want that. That's a pretty good one. Okay. Alan, bring the heat. Okay. So I literally work at my dream job and it's wonderful. Cool. Not a good start, Alan.

I have a co-worker who has worked with this company for 17 years, I believe, and he doesn't understand things like how to load the printer. How do I deal with that? I'm tempted to go with Tarzan on this one. All right. Because the answer to that one is just talk to HR. I feel like I've run out of good office etiquette once because there's like a person who's like a my brother, my brother and me person, personified, except they can actually do shit. Who works at the company? So we can help you both. Alan, just talk to that person and try to get them either fired or helped. Either one is fine. It solves your problem. So thank you, Alan. Thank you. And we're going to pick you over you, Zach. Tarzan. Tarzan rules. Tarzan's very good. It's the only thing. The

thing is you need to get really comfortable with Tarzan very quickly. How about instead? How about instead you convince your dad to just go with Lord Grey Stoke? Okay. Because that is Tarzan's actual name and title. Commence your dad to go with Christopher Plummer, who of course played Tarzan. It's just buck wild what your dad has done in that you can't a good grandpa or grandma name is Gigi or Pee Pee or Poop Boopums. If only we had made this joke before at some point. No, no. But it can't. Oh yeah, that's right. We'd fuck. But it what it what it can't be is like Darth Vader. Okay, so I'm Pac-Man. So even worse is my mom wants to be Lulu. That's good. That's that's cool. But like, what the fuck is Tarzan that doesn't know that is that is an excellent

point. Yeah. Because if this kid, okay, here's it. Here's what you do in public. Start loudly calling your dad Tarzan. Yeah. Make him introduce himself to people. Oh, I'm Tarzan. Rub his nose in it. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, shake the old no, no can of life at him. Just make him introduce himself as Tarzan. Because that's the thing what he's not picturing is a four year old in Walmart like yelling two aisles over. And him having to look at someone and go, that's me. That's me. That's mine. I came up with that one. So does that help? It doesn't help you. It helps me knowing that this situation is going to be out in the world somewhere. Yeah, makes you feel a little bit better about the state of things. Thank you, Zach. Thank you. Thank you. You've helped us. You've

helped us. All right, Justin, you get to pick this time. Okay, I'm going to say this person who's being pointed at would be excellent. Yes, it's you in second row. Both of you. Yeah, but you go right, you go left. That's it. Yes. Oh, yeah, right. No longer do we have to make the choice fake. We'll choose. Oh my God, your shirts say. Okay, real quick, stand up. Reverse. You got to reverse or they won't get it. Fucking through five stitches. Come on. We move to the other side. Are you kidding me with that? This is so good. Yeah, there are five people in the front row wearing custom shirts that say we horny for this one. Now, also, that is unlicensed. My brother, my brother, and me are merchandise, so we are going to need you to burn it. Perfect. Thank you.

It's very good. It's a very good shirt. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We'll start on this side this time. What's your name? My name is Amanda. Hi, Amanda. What's your name? I'm Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Amanda, we'll start with you. What's your question? Yeah, so I'm going to be ending my graduate school experience and I'm... Just quit and just fuck this place. Exactly. Yeah, fuck graduate school. But I'm going to be starting a real person job and it's Monday through Thursday and so that's four days, but I only have four dress shirts and one pair of pants. Is that okay if I wear the same kind of outfits throughout the week? Just sort of, just sort of dug it right there. Is that okay? Like, how many clothes should I have?

I really don't know. Okay. Thank you. I do see a lot of room for us to help here. Yeah, sure. And what is your question? So, I have a lovely two-year-old daughter named Sonia. Elise, I thought she was lovely until I went to the Y to pick her up from child care last week and got a full page report of how she has been stealing toys, pulling chairs out from underneath other kids. And I'm wondering, is my daughter destined for prison? Or is there something I can do to help her? Okay, I'm going to... Okay, I'm going to rule here and we're going to go this way and I'm going to tell you why. There's a very slim slim sliver of daylight with child bearing questions and it's just where it's like the could go just off the road. It's the Kobayashi Maru.

The Kobayashi Maru, thank you. Or the Star Wars whole bomb in there, explode the big, the big one, the round ship. You know the one with the ship and it's the other big moon, but it's not a moon. Yeah, I don't know about three horses next in and I'm not going to find this sliver. I'm not going to be able to find it. So I, my prayers are with you and your family and I super do hope that works out for you, but I'm going to take the grounder over here. You don't mind. I hope you understand. If yours could be answered with buy one more shirt, we would go with it. No spoilers, don't listen. If we could tell you, oh, just buy one more shirt and then your daughter will do better in daycare. We would do yours. Yeah, but seriously, thank you. Thank you. Hey, what's up?

So four shirts, one pants and also one pair of flats. Oh, we got to revise the math then. Okay, hold on. Hold on. You've changed the whole calculation. Okay. You say real person job. Does that mean five days a week? Because we're already hitting a snag. Monday through Thursday, four days. Oh, then you're fine. I think you're, you got a shirt for each day. Is there a casual day? No. You need one other pants, not because of like the mix and match kind of thing, but for chocolate emergencies. Yeah. Yeah. If something goes terribly, terribly wrong, you don't want to be sitting there both embarrassed as you guys stand on your pants and also at a loss for what to do tomorrow. Right. If you, if you spill spaghetti sauce in your pants, your first thought can't

be, well, I can't go to work. That's not, that's not a good. Got to fake sick. Got to take some PTO. But I mean, you could cut them off and make jean shorts, of course, but that trick works once. And yeah, and that while people may not notice you wearing the same pair of jeans every day, they will in fact notice you wearing the same pair of jean shorts every day, which is kind of a paradox, but it is true. I actually think maybe lean into this a little bit and like, you have four different shirts, make one the Monday shirt, one the Tuesday shirt, one the Wednesday shirt, one the Thursday shirt, but then two years in new shirt in the mix, everyone's going to compliment new shirt. Everyone knows it's new shirt because you only got four.

And that's nobody, there are very few people in anybody's life who notice when you buy new clothes as evidenced by the fact that when we were in Atlanta last yesterday, I bought this shirt at J Crew and none of my family members have said anything about it. Thank you. So you're probably good no matter what, because people don't care what folks are wearing to work most of the time, unless you work at a Best Buy and you're not wearing the very specific thing that they request. No, that is an excellent point. I've worked at Best Buy, Sears and Petsmore, and I wore the same thing every day to those jaws. And no one was ever like, hmm, blue polo again, huh? Well, that was a legally mandated blue polo. And if you start to get nervous, you can

kind of punch it up with like maybe a fun brooch. It's one thing you could do. A kicky shawl. Kind of like a kicky shawl would be nice. Kind of punch it up. Did that help? You're good. Your pants probably, and then ride it out. All right, let's do some a little bit further back. On the aisle, sitting on the aisle on a blue shirt waving both their hands, pointing out just a blue shirt in the aisle. Yep, yep, yep, yep. And then left side, left side, left side. Somebody's wearing, it looks like a pink cardigan over a black shirt. And I remember we used to do like 50 seat venues and we could just be like, Todd. Welcome to Terror Dome. What is your name? You were here first.

Oh, shit. Oh, no. My name's Faith. Just qualify. Faith. Sorry. Those are the rules. What was your name? Faith. Faith, hi. Sorry about all of this. And what's your name? My name's Lake, like the water. Hi, Lake, like the water. Faith, we'll start with you. Hold on. Faith's having her microphone adjusted. Let's start with Lake. My stepmom, in her spare time, she makes crafts. They're usually like designs on pillows or blankets or shirts. The problem is she likes to put like a signature on them. And what she does is my parents' initials. And so it's SNM. Faith, yours better be fucking good. But there's, it's also, I don't think there's much advice that we could do here. And now

you're both just sitting on the edge of the stage, which I'm very into, a very casual vibe. Was there a question there or was it just a fun anecdote? How do you change their names? What do I do? Okay, I think that might be Faith. Very, very good. Faith. Hi. Hi, Faith. I have a roommate. Okay. She does this thing where she'll start a conversation with me in the living area. And as she's speaking to me and I'm invested in the conversation, she stays there, just doesn't go anywhere because that's, she'll do the opposite actually. And she'll go into her room and she'll talk to me and close the door as she's speaking. Oh yeah, I had a chemistry test today. It was really hard. And I was wondering, and I'm just left there wondering, does she want me to seek

her out? Or is, are we done? Is that her saying, I don't want to talk anymore? I thought you were going to say she goes into the toilet and keeps on rapping. Nothing's going on there. I feel tempted to go with the S and M quill. But I don't know that we're going to say anything funnier than the very concept. Ooh, this is a toughie. Yeah, I think you just stop talking to your roommate whenever they do this because if you can't see the conversation has ended and that just seems like a good sort of protocol. Is that okay? Yeah, that'll work. Okay. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for your honesty. Yeah, you didn't sugarcoat it. I appreciate that. S and M quills. Yeah. You actually don't have anything funnier to say than the quills. So you may actually be,

was the question, what is your address so I can send you one of these awesome quills? Also, is your concern that someone will get this and be like, oh, this is lovely needle point, flip it over. What? That explains like, I'm pretty sure people won't be confused. What are some of the other things that S and M are stitched onto? Thank you, Paul. Paul's the best. Other crafts, what else are we talking about? Well, I mean, the problem is I got rid of it, but at one point I had a sweater with it on it. That's like my rules. So I'm sorry, everything about your life owns bones. You do not need our help. You just wanted to brag and I love it. I'm into it for sure. It's very good, but it makes me feel bad and small because your life rules.

I'm scared because she goes to farmers markets with quilts that say S and M on them. And she's incredibly successful because her shit rules. She makes so much money, even more than the bespoke potato guy down the hall. Yeah, we have nothing else for you. Your shit rules. Congratulations. Congratulations. Well done. Your box of grasses are listed on the website. I will make sure to send something if I can. Thank you. Thank you. All right, I'm done picking people. I've done a lot. Yeah, you've done good. I'm going to say this person over here with the hat from Mario. Come on down. And the clothes from Mario also. I think yes. Just a Mario outfit. Thank you so much. I'm very into that. All right, from the left side. I think it's the

adventure zone purple shirt with maybe gray hoodie over it. Brown hair. You just looked sad. I'm pointing at you. Yeah, yeah, you. Yeah. The person I'm describing. Okay. Oh, it's that whole Mario Odyssey cosplay. I'm so into that because I'm very excited for Mario Odyssey to come out on Friday. Same. And you're cosplaying for it like it's like E3, which seems weird, but also I'm so into it because I saw you and I was like, oh shit, Friday is going to be a very good day. I work at Game Stop. Thank you. Oh, cool. Excellent. What's your name? I'm Rebecca. Hi, Rebecca. What is your name? My name is Brianna. Hi Brianna. Rebecca. Let's go. Here we go. Like he says. Yes. All right. That's good. And I work at Game Stop. And unfortunately, I am very

small. Okay. And sometimes I have to close alone. And while I do live in a pretty safe place, one time we got burgled while I was there alone. Hey, I hear you. Let's talk after this. I was scared, pantsless while I was wearing a skirt. Doesn't matter. Well, I'm not. I'm not very large and scary like someone that should be. I wish I was so that I wasn't burgled. It was only like 50 bucks. You weren't targeted. They were like, we're going to rob her. Even big, strong, tough people who look very scary and intimidating can get robbed working at Game Stop. It happens to even the toughest, surliest looking bad dudes. I feel like we can solve this pretty easy goodwill hunting style by, it's not your fault that you got robbed at Game Stop. You need to understand that. It is

also your job to not be intimidating. It's your job to be like, you got it. You got it. Now your question. Okay. How do I bulk up fast? I'm going to go rob a Game Stop lane. Wear some easy ones. I can tell you one that's a pushover guaranteed. So what is the question? I was going to ask, how do I become intimidating without changing my physical self? No, you don't, you're approaching this from a, okay, let's do, we'll do yours, but what's, what was, what was your question? Okay. So ever since me and my friends got to our hotel room, weird things have been happening. Here in Nashville? Yes. Okay. Lights flickering, elevator stuttering, doors getting stuck. And we would just think this is a sign of a shitty

hotel, but there's literally a graveyard across the parking lot. Hell yeah. Our hotel room is haunted. What is the protocol for dealing with this ghost? Ah, move hotel rooms. Yeah, ask for it. That's money. Well, that's money is a really good, that should be a catchphrase of a bim bam for like the thing you've said won't work. That's money. That's money. Okay, which, who can we help? Shit. Shit. Ghosts are real. Ghosts are real. Berglary is also wicked real. It's like a mad real. I feel like though, if we give advice, anything bergle related that we could be called to testify at some point, there is no ghost court, right? We're not going to, we're not going to be held liable. Uh, I don't, getting burgled sucked a lot and, but there's like nothing you, you,

oh, joking aside, there's nothing you could have done about that. There's nothing you should have done about that. So you're like, good. There is no amount of intimidating. I think an employee can be that someone who is decided to rob a store will walk in and go, no, you know what? Actually, I'll come back tomorrow. They've already decided to rob it. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Is that, is that okay? You're all right. I hope you're doing okay, genuinely. Yeah, I just, I don't care if they rob it, just not while I'm there. Well, that's not a great, okay. Thank you so much for coming. That's, okay. You're really embodying the spirit of Mario. As long as I get to mine. As long as it happens to Greg.

It's not me. It's not me. Mario, it happened again. Okay. I was at home. Go to the cafeteria or whatever at the hotel, get some salt, circle of salt, done so. Cause even if it doesn't work, the ghost will see the circle of salt and be like, they know what's up. You do not want an active player as a ghost. Even if the stuff doesn't work, you don't want someone who's engaged in battling you this last thing. Cause if you lay forever as a spectral form, I think you're probably going to walk pretty cautiously when it comes to like, oops, I could get banished. You're probably pretty careful about that shit. You see a circle of salt. You're like, not worth it. Also, you have to kind of pity a hotel room ghost because human beings are they're absolutely worse than a hotel

room. You would think like, no, at home, they're most comfortable. No, no, no. I walk in, I throw my stuff around. I just drop shit, half empty, I just fuck it. It's like not quite rock star parting. Just so much as just like human animal. Ghostbusters is so buck wild because if you are a spiritual being that can live forever and you want to probably protect that, the last thing you're going to want to do is go fight or spook or pull pranks on the only people that can kill a ghost. Sorry, that has nothing to do with what you said. It is true. Yeah. It's like, it's weird because any, any ghost that you see stay to do battle with the ghostbusters is fucked up beyond belief. That's actually like the baddest ghost that you do not want to mess with because there's

like four people on earth that can fuck with them and they are choosing to pick a fight with those four people. Just leave. Just go to like another room or another, just another anywhere. There's only four of them and you're in New York. There's plenty of space. Why up into space? You're a ghost. Forget about it. So do you think the first like a big group of ghosts like stood against the ghost busters? They're like, we're like, we're like, we killed everyone. But then like they busted the first ghost and like the other six, you were like, this is not anything. Circle of salt. You're good. You're good. That's fine. Thank you so much. Yeah, we can help. We want to wrap up. Yeah, let's wrap up. Thank you all so much. That was very fun. By the way, I think we're going to

do that from now on, but we're going to, we're going to wrap this show up. Thank you all so, so, so much for being here. Have been so cool. A couple things real quick before we go. We forgot to mention this last night. We'll mention it tomorrow night too. But as long as we have a captive audience, we are putting out an adventure zone graphic novel. Yes. It's the adventurezonecomic.com. So you all don't know what the adventure zone is, but the crowd tomorrow is going to fuck up. Yeah. Also, we do want to say, we already thanked him once. We'll thank him again. Paul Saboren. Thank you, Paul. Amazing. You all should go check out Paul and Storm. If you aren't already fans, you should come. We assume that you are already. Thank you to Schmanners for opening for us.

Thank you to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. This place is very cool. And I'm very excited that we are doing another show here tomorrow. Thank you, Nashville. Thank you, Nashville. John Rodrick and the Long Winters for the Use Our Thing song. It's the departure of the album putting the days to bed. It's very good. Thank you to Max Flynn for having us. We mentioned posters by Louise. Yeah, that's no, we wish we could, but we are unable to do a meet and greet after the show because we have another show to do tomorrow and we have babies and took a nap backstage. My body's dead. That salad revived me, but the salad juice is just gone. So we won't be able to do that, but you're all great. We're so sorry that we're old and boring and whacked.

How about that half day? Oh, thank you. Thank you. That's very kind. Thank you. How about this final y'all? Tell me a bunch of you met our dad at Walgreens. So I hope that's something, right? Griffin, did you have a final y'all? Pretend like dad wasn't just waiting at Walgreens, just like getting band-aids and Fritos or whatever the fuck you get. Just saying zone of truth out loud, like somebody might hear that and like tomorrow's going to be fucking cool. Yeah. Okay, go ahead, Griffin.
